Saxon - Hell, Fire And Damnation lyrics



Tracks



01. The Prophecy

From the beginning of time
The powers of good and evil
Have been battling for our souls
A war stretching into eternity
Fought between heaven and hell
Light versus dark
Is this a myth, or is it true?
The oldest tale on earth
The prophecy of Hell, Fire and Damnation

02. Hell, Fire And Damnation

Child of Satan or lamb of God
The choice is yours to make
Rule the heavens high or reign in hell
Satanic rites and holy prayers
Bring supremacy
Fighting for our souls until the end

The battle rages on through eternity
In the fight for good and evil
Which one will succeed?

Hell, fire and damnation
Written in the prophecy
Holy fire and salvation
Will our souls ever be free?
Ever be free

The Antichrist and Nazerine
Fight the endless war
Angels, demons raging back and forth
Demonic verses holy script
The never ending fight
Will the darkness conquer ‘gainst the light?

Armies of the evil
Warriors of the good battle on forever
To find the chosen one

Hell, fire and damnation
Written in the prophecy
Holy fire and salvation
Will our souls ever be free?

Satan’s fire, heaven’s light
The conflict never ends
Back and forth they battle for our souls
The prophecy written out
There for all to read
Some believe but others cannot see

The battle rages on into eternity
The fight for good and evil
Which one will it be?

Hell, fire and damnation
Written in the prophecy
Holy fire and salvation
Will our souls ever be free?
Ever be free
Ever be

03. Madame Guillotine

They call me the death
I've come to settle your debts
Marie Antoinette, I've took your pretty head
I am the scourge of the rich
Revenge of the poor

Your cries are in vain, I can help with your pain
The arrangements are made, you will die by my blade

Just let me introduce you to Madame Guillotine
She'll be pleased to meet you, but please don't lose your head
Madame Guillotine

The revolution came
I was never to blame
It was my purpose to kill
But people came for the thrill
For the sound of the mob
Paying for your blood

And I'll show no remorse, I am set on my course
All I feel is the drop of my blade

Just let me introduce you to Madame Guillotine
She'll be pleased to meet you, but please don't lose your head
Madame Guillotine

There was never enough
To satisfy the lust
For the head in the basket
Another caught for the casket
To entertain the crowd
Your severed head held proud

Have no feeling or guilt, why my structure was built
I'm a slave to my masters, I'll do as I'm built

Just let me introduce you to Madame Guillotine
She'll be pleased to meet you, but please don't lose your head
Let me introduce you to Madame Guillotine
She'll be pleased to see you, be careful with your head
To Madame Guillotine
Please don't lose your head
To Madame Guillotine
To Madame Guillotine

04. Fire And Steel

Feeding the furnace and melting the iron
Twisting and grinding and smelting the steel
Steaming and sweating the fruits of their labour
The best in the world is called Sheffield steel

Flames flying into the night
Searing white heat, blinding light

Fire and steel made this mighty city
Fire and steel, forged by working hands
Fire and steel, red hot and heavy
Fire and steel, the finest in the land

White hot and molten and flowing like lava
Bending and shaping and pounding the iron
Lifting and shifting the weight of the city
Shipping and moving their steel 'cross the world

Man and machine never stop
Forging their steel on the clock

Fire and steel made this mighty city
Fire and steel, forged with working hands
Fire and steel, red hot and heavy
Fire and steel, the finest in the land

The sound of the city, the crushing of metal
Blend in the iron to make into steel
Using the science to fuss with the knowledge
A great northern city leading the world

Flames flying into the night
Searing white heat, blinding light

Fire and steel made this mighty city
Fire and steel, forged with Yorkshire hands
Fire and steel, red hot and heavy
Fire and steel, the greatest in the land

05. There's Something In Roswell

Fire in the sky over New Mexico
An alien crash, we’ll never know
The farmer and the cops were first on the scene
Finding strange metal among the debris
A strange silver disc is what they described
Searching through the wreckage looking for life
Keep it under wraps and keep it out of sight

There’s something in Roswell
We don’t believe the lies
There’s something in Roswell
It’s fallen from the sky

They said it was a balloon
But no one took the bait
Photos of the wreckage they told another fate
Manipulate the evidence that’s the way to be
But you can’t suppress interest

There’s got to be something in Roswell
We don’t believe the lies
There’s something in Roswell
That’s fallen from the sky

Over the years the questions remained
Conspiracies fanning the flames
What to believe someone must know
Just tell the truth, you gotta let go
Too many clues hidden in sight
We’re never going to stop or give up the fight
What happened that night in New Mexico
On the farmers’ ranch you know

There’s something in Roswell
We don’t believe the lies
There’s something in Roswell
It’s fallen from the sky

There’s something in Roswell
We won’t give up the fight
There’s something in Roswell
That fell to Earth that night
Roswell
There’s something in Roswell
Roswell

06. Kubla Khan And The Merchant Of Venice

Follow the silk road far to the east
Riches await you beyond your belief
Legends and myths, the powder of fire
Beyond the great wall, the world's greatest empire

Over the burning hot sands
You search for the city of fire

To the court of the Kubla Khan
To the temples of Xanadu
In the halls of the Kubla Khan
You were the chosen one
Merchant of Venice
The Merchant of Venice

From the city on water to the great Chinese wall
Your journey will take you to the last Golden Horde
To the emperor's great city on the edge of the world
A tale of adventure told in your words

You searched for the land of the dragon
The silk road will carry you there

To the court of the Kubla Khan
To the temples of Xanadu
In the halls of the Kubla Khan
You were the chosen one
The Merchant of Venice

The name Marco Polo, your legend survives
A merchant of Venice, we saw through your eyes
Long hidden people where dynasty reigned
Science and artists, these wonders you gazed

Search for the city of fire
The trade winds will carry you there

To the court of the Kubla Khan
To the temples of Xanadu
In the halls of the Kubla Khan
You were the chosen one

To the court of the Kubla Khan
To the temples of Xanadu
In the halls of the Khan of Khans
You were the chosen one

Merchant of Venice
Merchant of Venice
The Merchant of Venice
The Merchant of Venice

07. Pirates Of The Airwaves

Just a teenage boy underneath the covers
Listening to the transistor radio
Trying to find a station, coming through with static
All he wants to hear is the Rolling Stones

Radio Luxembourg
Radio Caroline
Calling out across the sea
Just turn the dial, it's all for free

Pirates, pirates of the airwaves
Pirates, pirates of the airwaves

Running from the law, trouble with the government
Trying to stop the music blasting through the night
Rock star DJs took it to the limit
Rebels of the airwaves, playing rock 'n' roll

Radio London Town
Radio Avalon
Radio KSHE
Just turn the dial, it's all for free

Pirates, pirates of the airwaves
Pirates, pirates of the airwaves

There was a new wave coming, driven by the music
Stoking the rebellion coming from the youth
Sending out a message, the time for change is coming
The more they try to stop it, the bigger it becomes

Radio Luxembourg
Radio Caroline
Calling out across the sea
Just turn the dial, it's all for free

Pirates, pirates of the airwaves
Pirates, pirates of the airwaves
Pirates of the airwaves
Pirates of the airwaves
Pirates of the airwaves
They were pirates of the airwaves

08. 1066

In 1066 in the year of our lord
The conqueror came with warhorse and sword
He landed in England at the Pevensey shore
From the land of the Normans with bloodline restored
A warrior family, a duke and a lord
Taking the throne through conflict and war
In the Battle of Hastings, one side destroyed
A clash of the strongest, to the victor the spoils

1066, the conqueror came
Never forget, remember the name
In 1066 the Saxons were slain
The day that the conqueror came
In 1066
1066

Harold had beaten the vikings at Stamford
Routing Hardrada, the end of an age
Dayglow was finished, the shield war defeated
An army triumphant, they marched to their grave
But news traveled fast of a second invasion
The army of Saxons would face a new foe
Tired and weary they marched to the battle
Where William was waiting with quiver and bow

1066, the conqueror came
Never forget, remember the name
In 1066 the Saxons were slain
The day that the conqueror came

The gathered in splendor in fields near the Hastings
They'll fight to the death for England's blood soil
No quarter was given, they charged 'gainst each other
Battling, slicing and ripping with sword
The cavalry charged and cut the defenses
The arrows came flying and pierced Harold's eye
The Normans were victors, the end of the Saxons
A new king would reign, history reborn

1066, the conqueror came
Never forget, remember the name
In 1066 the Saxons were slain
1066, the conqueror came
Never forget, remember the name
In 1066 the Saxons were slain
The day that the conqueror came
In 1066

09. Witches Of Salem

In a sleepy quiet town, down Massachusetts way
The silence sudden broken by the chanting of the bay
Circling 'round a woman accused of witchcraft
Take it down before the judge to hear the damning draft

See the flames of bigotry leaping ever higher
Someone has to pay the price to feed the rapture's fire

Witches of Salem, burning at the stake
Witches of Salem, victims of the hate
Witches of Salem, unto Gallows Hill
Witches of Salem, they're hungry for the kill

Accusations made, filled with weight and malice
Betraying friends and neigbours before the holy chalice
Standing trial before the mob, hysteria rules the day
Preaching fire and brimstone, there's nothing you can say

See the flames of bigotry leaping ever higher
Someone has to pay the price to feed the rapture's fire

Witches of Salem, burning at the stake
Witches of Salem, victims of the hate
Witches of Salem, onto Gallows Hill
Witches of Salem, they're hungry for the kill
Hungry for the kill
Onto Gallows Hill

Who beside the woman, who doesn't seem to fit
All it took was just a word to take them to the pit
If you plead your innocence you were taken to the trial
It didn't matter what you say, they won't believe denial

See the flames of bigotry leaping ever higher
Someone has to pay the price to feed the rapture's fire

Witches of Salem, burning at the stake
Witches of Salem, victims of the hate
Witches of Salem, onto Gallows Hill (Onto Gallows Hill)
Witches of Salem, they're hungry for the kill
Witches of Salem, burning at the stake (Burning at the stake)
Witches of Salem, victims of the hate
Witches of Salem, they're hungry for the kill (Hungry for the kill)
Witches of Salem, onto Gallows Hill

10. Super Charger

Through the smoke of burning oil, smell the nitro gas
Wheels are spinning trying to grip, the fastest on the track
Speeding down the drag strip lanes, you race to be on top
Danger lives in every breath, but you're never gonna stop

Engines primed and ready, time to bring it on
You've only got one life to live, it's time to have some fun

Super charger, let the surge begin
Super charger, feeling like a sin
Super charger, your life is on the line
Super charger, try to beat the time

Stick it into overdrive, ram the pedal down
Get the needle to the red, listen to the sound
Engines screaming, gun it more, give it to the max
Speeding to the finish line, leader of the pack

Ease back on the pedal, stop the tyre shake
Give it everything you've got, try to win the race

Super charger, let the surge begin
Super charger, feeling like a sin
Super charger, your life is on the line
Super charger, try to beat the time

Adrenaline
Adrenaline and speed
Ride the metal
Ride the metal steed

Charging down towards the end, you got to beat the clock
You know you've only got one chance, take it to the top
Hold it straight, don't let it slide, thrusting down the line
Just keep your nerve, don't give in, make the perfect thrive

Engines primed and ready, time to bring it on
Only got one life to live, time to have some fun

Super charger, let the surge begin
Super charger, feeling like a sin
Super charger, your life is on the line
Super charger, try to beat the time
Super charger, let the surge begin
Super charger, feeling like a sin
Super charger, your life is on the line
Super charger, try to beat the time
