The clamour and the clatter of incensed keys
Can bring a nation to its knees On the wings of a lethal icon, bird of prey It's a sign of the times when bedlam rules When the masses condone pompous fools And the scales of justice tip in disarray Panic attack, panic attack Panic attack, panic attack Matters of fact fall on deaf ears While the bitter mobs ramp up their fears Go creeping 'round those corridors of power As the dead heads gladly suffer sins While the euthanizing then begins The clock is ticking down to doomsday hour Panic attack, panic attack Panic attack, panic attack Alien nations gleam Cybertronic schemes Fibre optic mass hypnotic Wild neurotic memes Cynicism, greed is what you're fed Disconnecting from the world wide web It don't matter about your choice 'Cause all you've got is an empty voice And there's no way left to tell what's right from wrong There's still time left to do what's right Eliminate those parasites And force your mind amidst the angry throng Panic attack, panic attack Disconnect the system Panic attack, panic attack Euthanize the brain Panic attack, panic attack Blind synthetic wisdom Panic attack, panic attack Digitally criminally insane 02. The Serpent And The King
Idols to their worlds
Manifesting anger, Conjurers of evil times! We can sense the danger! They claim every soul, Show you who's the leader! Bow before iconoclasts, Creators of disaster! They play with stars and sulphur just for heaven's sake. To them we are a fantasy to see who's first to break. When good and evil go to war we leave it up to fate. Since time began they fought for man incurring love and hate. The serpent and the king. The serpent and the king. The serpent and the king. The serpent and the king. Wiping out the weak, Lording their creation! Where you hide they'll find to seek! Feeding those mistaken! Pyramid of bones Satiate their hunger! Volatilic, they condone, Sympathize no longer! They play with stars and sulphur just for heaven's sake. To them we are fantasy to see who's first to break. When good and evil go to war we leave it up to fate. Since time began they fought for man incurring love and hate! The serpent and the king. The serpent and the king. The end is coming soon. The serpent and the king. The serpent and the king. It's time to meet your doom! Cast out of paradise temptation's wrath. Constrict self-sacrifice, the tree of life. They claim every soul, Show you who's the leader. Bow before iconoclasts, Creators of disaster. They play with stars and sulphur just for heaven's sake. To them we are fantasy to see who's first to break. When good and evil go to war we leave it up to fate. Since time began they fought for man incurring love and hate. The serpent and the king. The serpent and the king. The serpent and the king. The serpent and the king. The serpent and the king. The end is coming soon. The serpent and the king. Prepare to meet your doom! 03. Invincible Shield
Clad in steel
Raise the barricades Non shall pass friend or foe Hold your ground Pacts are galvanized Chained by truth blood will flow Face your fate Bain or sacrifice To the hilt stain the sword Charge your soul Purge infinity Clarion's cry, strike the chord Faith and honour Hearts are golden Invincible Our masses are united Invincible Forever and a day Invincible Can never be divided And nothing can stand in our way Invincible shield Smash and grab Let loose infamy Hit the pit, feel the force Crushing earth Shatter disbelief Petrifyer of course Sacred sound Bred to volatize Devastation supreme Consecrate Deep beneath the ground Excommunicate sin Praise this power Strength in union Invincible Our masses are united Invincible Forever and a day Invincible Can never be divided And nothing can stand in our way Invincible shield Crashing the earth, shattering disbelief Consecrating beneath sacred sound Scattering stunning, the heathens are running Destroying the gods that we've crowned Hearts are golden Our faith and our honor defends We raise the invincible shield Clad in steel Raise the barricades Non shall pass friend or foe Shock and stun Blessed empery Nullify or convert Invincible Our masses are united Invincible For ever and a day Invincible Can never be divided We're invincible Invincible Our masses are united Invincible For ever and a day Invincible Can never be divided And nothing can stand in our way Invincible shield 04. Devil In Disguise
Mischievous a twinkle in his eye
It grieves us that all he said's a lie So frantic he wears a sickly grin Romantic the way he reels you in Still mixing your mind What was real disappears He's one of a kind planting all your fears He's a devil The devil in disguise He's a devil The devil in disguise Delusion a master of the grift Confusion his slight of hand is swift Alluring a whisper in your head So charming manipulating dread Peddles and stalks Machiavellian shiv Ambidextrous talks Nothing's left to live He's a devil The devil in disguise He's a devil The devil in disguise He's a devil The devil in disguise He's a devil He's the devil in disguise Fictitious conjurer who grinds against your will He's like a sniper when he goes in for the kill Imposing charlatan shadows are his friend A deviant pecksniffian his words are all pretend Devil in disguise Devil in disguise He's the devil in disguise The devil in disguise Still mixing your mind What was real disappears He's one of a kind Preying on your fears He's a devil The devil in disguise He's a devil The devil in disguise He's a devil The devil in disguise He's a devil Devil in disguise 05. Gates Of Hell
It's a long way down to purgatory
But we'll get there if you ride with me You're invited on your mind we'll feast There's a place set at the table of the beast Lose your mind and take control Sign on the line and let the priest sell your soul We'll go screaming through the gates of hell We got fire in our veins Oh we're screaming through the gates of hell To the choirs of the insane At the altar I will get down on my knees I can't falter when this faith becomes my creed I surrender every ounce of my free will When we worship in the covenant of steel Lose your mind and take control Sign on the line and sell the devil your soul We go screaming through the gates of hell We got fire in our veins Oh we're screaming through the gates of hell Our kingdom and domain We go screaming through the gates of hell We got fire in our veins Oh we're screaming through the gates of hell And hell is where we reign This monument is cast in chrome The holy ghost burns on his throne We go screaming through the gates of hell We got fire in our veins Oh we're screaming through the gates of hell To the choirs of the insane We go screaming through the gates of hell We got fire in our veins Oh we're screaming through the gates of hell And hell is where we reign 06. Crown Of Horns
I learn the hard way that what you dream for
Comes from the pain you hold inside I'm on the long road, there is no answer You have to hold the love you'd find I'd wait so helpless but love was waiting Just like an angel in the dark Heavy is the crown of horns that rests upon this head Heavy is the crown of horns from all the blood he shed The day seemed endless, no sense of calling Until the daylight came to be I thought of rapture to end this capture Then something grew inside of me I found my way now and I am soaring Almost touching every star Heavy is the crown of horns that rests upon this head Heavy is the crown of horns from all the blood he shed Heavy is the crown of horns that kept the faith so bright Heavy is the crown of horns that gave me all this life I'll call out to the world tonight To raise your horns up high I'm calling to the world tonight To let your voices fly I'll call out to the world tonight Give thanks for we are saved I'm calling to the world tonight To never be afraid The end of longing, a place to rest now I found the answer to my prayer I'm on my way now and I am soaring I'm almost touching every star Heavy is the crown of horns that rests upon this head Heavy is the crown of horns from all the blood he shed Heavy is the crown of horns that kept the faith so bright Heavy is the crown of horns that gave me all this life Heavy is the crown of horns that rests upon this head Heavy is the crown of horns from all the blood he shed Heavy is the crown of horns that kept the faith so bright Heavy is the crown of horns that gave me all this life 07. As God Is My Witness
Trapped inside this ball of confusion
Thoughts of death lead me astray Prying eyes reveal a lost illusion I shall resist when evil comes my way When minds collide War of the worlds Speaking in tongues of the unholy As God is my witness I swear there'll be hell to pay As God is my witness I will prevail until the end of days Defiance makes me climb the highest mountain To freely breathe the air that I demand If I can crush the nightmares of oblivion The tide will turn and bring me back to land Man's destiny invokes heresy Speaking in tongues that spit out fire As God is my witness I swear there'll be hell to pay As God is my witness I will prevail until the end As God is my witness I swear there'll be hell to pay As God is my witness I will prevail until the end of days Zadkiel's unholy war begins They crawl to Jacob's ladder No forgiveness for their sins Man's destiny invokes heresy Feeding the minds of the unholy When minds collide war of the worlds Speaking in tongues that spit out fire As God is my witness I swear there'll be hell to pay As God is my witness I will prevail until the end God is my witness I swear there'll be hell to pay As God is my witness I will prevail until the end of days 08. Trial By Fire
Shot down in cold blood
Didn't know my name No-one understood So I took the blame Where I left my mark When the system fell You were in my grasp Hid behind your veil Bound and abused Branded a liar I have endured Trial by fire Hang me out to dry I broke every rule Fell right in your trap Played me for a fool Catch you safe and sound Tried to make you mine Took this holy vow Then you crossed the line Burden of guilt Branded a liar Falsely accused Trial by fire Committed no crime In my innocence I have endured Trial by fire Life is so cruel and unbearable I can't let you get in my way What I need now is a miracle To get through the end of each day Burden of guilt Branded a liar Whipped and abused Trial by fire Committed no crime In my innocence I have endured Trial by fire Trial by fire Trial by fire 09. Escape From Reality
Some days I feel inside that all is lost
I'm in a maze and can't return or wake at any cost I can't explain it when the good turned bad In free-fall feeling nothing from the emptiness I had Agony Escape from reality brings you down Agony Escape from reality brings you down If I could turn back time I would return Back to the place and memories I left to crash and burn What felt right back then I could never see The foolish ways of my mistakes would come back haunting me Agony Escape from reality brings you down Agony Escape from reality brings you down Agony Escape from reality brings you down Agony Escape from reality brings you down Get lost in a psychedelic haze Levitating to a place that will amaze Trance-sending in a void of time and space Hallucinations from another worldly place Levitating to a place that will amaze Hallucinations from another worldly place Still I'm prepared to bring it all to bear Put out my hand to anyone to take what I'll repair Agony Escape from reality brings you down Agony Escape from reality brings you down Agony Escape from reality brings you down Agony Escape from reality brings you down 10. Sons Of Thunder
Ride out burn up the energy
One way to live It's time to find you liberty There's more to give Take it or leave it None but the brave Let's ride all night Sons of thunder Sons of thunder Let's ride all night Sons of thunder Hold fast aim for the better life Make your heart steer Speed-up break through the barrier The road is clear Take it or leave it None but the brave Let's ride all night Sons of thunder Sons of thunder Let's ride all night Sons of thunder Rollin' like thunder we rumble and roar Leading the pack as we scream out for more Let's ride all night Sons of thunder Sons of thunder Let's ride all night Sons of thunder Let's ride all night Sons of thunder Sons of thunder Let's ride all night Sons of thunder 11. Giants In The Sky
The mighty have fallen
The memories fading The legend still lives on The sound of the giants The echoes remaining Will never be forgot Homage to the legends 'Til the bitter end Leaving such a legacy my friends Giants in the sky You won't ever die Giants in the sky You won't ever die The sound of their music Alive in the cosmos There's power in the air The world is on fire Their energies blazing They left us all they had Homage to the legends 'Til the bitter end Leaving such a legacy my friends Giants in the sky You won't ever die Giants in the sky You won't ever die If you only knew just how much you mean to me And how your love still gets me through the day I'm not alone when you care Having someone that's always there Helps me pull through you always do You're never far away Homage to the legends 'Til the bitter end Leaving such a legacy my friends Giants in the sky You won't ever die Giants in the sky You won't ever die Giants in the sky You Won't ever Die 12. Fight Of Your Life
It's taken one by one to see what I've become
Been looking at the point of no return It's when I score and drive that makes me come alive To break it down and come around, and make it no concern In the moment when you think you're falling It's up to you, you've got the fight of your life In the battle, you're the last man standing You're the victor of the fight, the fight of your life I'll face it toe to toe, no point in letting go To stick it out no matter what they say And should I hit the ground, I'm ready to rebound Still on my feet with no retreat and set to seize the say In the moment when you think you're falling It's up to you, you've got the fight of your life In the battle, you're the last man standing You're the victor of the fight, the fight of your life I got to look in deep and pull out all I keep The wear and tear is bringing up the past I'm overturning stones, get down to skin and bones Then lay it out and work it out and throw away the trash In the moment when you think you're falling It's up to you, you've got the fight of your life In the battle, you're the last man standing You're the victor of the fight, the fight of your life In the moment when you think you're falling It's up to you, you've got the fight of your life In the battle, you're the last man standing You're the victor of the fight, the fight of your life In the moment when you think you're falling It's up to you, you've got the fight of your life In the battle, you're the last man standing It's up to you, you've got the fight, the fight of your life 13. Vicious Circle
You tear my soul apart
By any means with wicked schemes cut deep The way that youcontrive Makesme wonder howyou ever sleep Still I held outevery chance You'd come back to your senses But that path was filled with smoke To prove what you intended I stand against you as you rage My fate has struck your gilded cage I knew you'd bite and hurt us Vicious circle A parody of truth Is mirrored in the mask you chose to wear With empathy so numb You never felt the lives that you despair Master of hypocrisy Who dislocates my reason Through constant lies that you implant This manifest of treason Provoked to go to any length I'll use up every ounce of strength And break the chain that binds this Vicious circle Still I held out every chance You'd come back to your senses But that path was filled with smoke To prove what you intended I stand against you as you rage My fate has struck your gilded cage I knew you'd bite and hurt us Vicious circle 14. The Lodger
He's the lodger trying hard to blend in
As he stalks his prey He's no killer, but he can't let this man Just walk away He thinks of nothing but this I'll bring my brand of justice "Vengeance is mine," said the lodger Vengeance is mine "Vengeance is mine," said the lodger Vengeance is mine The night he got there, heavy fog rollin' in The landlord did say "Is he the killer? That poor girl had no chance The man was depraved" But now the lodger lives there 'Cause that dead girl was his sister "Vengeance is mine," said the lodger Vengeance is mine "Vengeance is mine," said the lodger Vengeance is mine Gonna find him Gotta find him When I find him They'll never find him A policeman caught the killer Now he and I can tell her "Vengeance is mine," said the lodger Vengeance is mine "Vengeance is mine," said the lodger Vengeance is mine "Vengeance is mine," said the lodger Vengeance is mine "Vengeance is mine," said the lodger Vengeance is mine Gonna find him Gotta find him When I find him They'll never find me |
