Tracks



02. Inferno

Heavy clouds hide the sun,
Crying people on the run,
Feel the heat, feel the pain,
Through the smoke and pouring rain,
Flames lick high, scorch the sky,
Time has come, it is done,
People near, feeling fear, it has come,
Man-made sun.

Inferno, Inferno, Inferno.

Fireball mushroom cloud,
Heat-wave heat over ground,
Wind of death, melt my eyes,
wall of sound drown my cries,
See my kind dropping there,
Feel the pain on the air,
Run from this I can,
Save myself to understand.

Inferno, Inferno, Inferno.

Fireball mushroom cloud,
Heat-wave heat over ground,
Wind of death, melt my eyes, wall of
Sound drown my cries,
See my kind dropping there,
Feel their pain on the air,
Run from this if I can,
Save myself to understand.

Inferno, Inferno, Inferno.

Fireball mushroom cloud,
Heat-wave heat over ground,
Feel the heat, feel the pain,
Through the smoke and pouring rain,
Wind of death, melt my eyes,
wall of sound drown my cries,
Run from this if I can,
Save myself to understand.

Inferno, Inferno, Inferno.

03. Blitzkrieg

Let us have peace, let us have life,
Let us escape the cruel night.
Let us have time, let the sun shine,
Let us beware the deadly sign.

The day is coming, Armageddon's near,
Inferno's coming, can we survive the blitzkrieg.
The blitzkrieg, the blitzkrieg.

Save us from fate, save us from hate,
Save ourselves before it's too late.
Come to our need, hear our plea,
Save ourselves before the earth bleeds.

The day is dawning, the time is near,
Aliens calling, can we survive the blitzkrieg.

Let us have peace, let us have life,

Let us beware the deadly sign.

The day is coming, Armageddon's near,
Inferno's coming, can we survive the blitzkrieg.
The blitzkrieg, the blitzkrieg.

Save us from fate, save us from hate,
Save ourselves before it's too late.
Come to our need, hear our plea,
Save ourselves before the earth bleeds.

The day is dawning, the time is near,
Aliens calling, can we survive the blitzkrieg.

04. Pull the Trigger

The night is out and the lights fade,
And I'm alone in the street,
Running round in a daze,
Don't know where I'm going,
There's nothing left to live for,
This life is killing me,
My mind is gone, I can't carry on anyway.

Time is running out, going fast,
How much longer can I fast?
I just don't care,
I can't take it anymore,
Pull the trigger,
Indulge in self-destruction.

Gazing out in the darkness,
Looking back on the past,
My life is draining away,
But there's no cure,
Lock away in my warped mind,
No-one can pull me out,
I've got to self-destruct,
That's the key to the door.

Time is running out, going fast,
How much longer can I fast?
I just don't care,
I can't take it anymore,
Pull the trigger,
Indulge in self-destruction.

Shoot it, shoot, shoot, blow my life away,

Gazing out in the darkness,
Looking into the black,
Staring straight down the barrel of a 45,
Loaded up and I'm ready,
I'm playing Russian Roulette,
The next time I pull the trigger,
I'll be dead or alive,

Time is running out, going fast,
How much longer can I fast?
I just don't care,
I can't take it anymore,
Pull the trigger,
Indulge in self-destruction.

05. Armageddon

Fire!

It's a holocaust coming from the East,
A great angry bird, spreading its word,
And we're gonna be its feast,
The sky will be red and the ground will shake,
The day of Judgement has come,
Armageddon has arrived.

Who will balance my life against yours?
Who will hold my soul in his hand?
Who will deliver me to the Devil?
Who can rid the Earth of this evil?

The World is in the bloody hands of Fate,
Warheads burn, they can't return,
The hour is too late,
The Sands of Time are running dry,
The bird is in full flight,
Armageddon has arrived.

Who will balance my life against yours?
Who will hold my soul in his hand?
Who will deliver me to the Devil?
Who can rid the Earth of this evil?

Marching, marching, off to war we go,
Leading, leading, our bloody seeds to sow,
Onward, onward, life is bloody fine,
Marching, marching,
We haven't got much time,
Atomic rain falls from the sky,
To wash blood from the land,

Frightened children are praying,
The sky is red with the Fires of Hell,
Destiny is stillborn,
Destiny is stillborn.

Frightened children,
They're scared to Hell,
They've heard the tolling of
The Great Black Bell,
They're so scared,
They're scared to Hell.

Frightened children,
They're scared to Hell,
They've heard that Satan has a tale to tell,
They're so scared,
They're scared to Hell.

Fire!

06. Hell to Pay

We're hitting hard,
The music's flowing through me,
Don't stop now, we got so far to go,
Let's see you move,
Your soul is floating so free,
We can make it now, so let the dices roll,

If we don't stop it now,
We don't get a hold,
We're gonna go under,
If we don't take this chance,
We've got to take this chance,
'Cos we ain't getting another,
There's gonna be Hell to pay.

Moving fast with Heavy Metal Thunder,
Strike a blow,
Make sure you aim it well,
We'll keep on top, never going under,
So take your chance,
You'll pay for it in Hell.

If we don't stop it now,
We don't get a hold,
We're gonna go under,
If we don't take this chance,
We've got to take this chance,
'Cos we ain't getting another,
There's gonna be Hell to pay.

Pay the Devil with your soul,
Find yourself in another role.

If we don't stop it now,
We're gonna go....... under,
If we don't take the chanced,
We'll never get... another.

Hell to pay.

07. Vikings

Viking, now the time is ripe for conquest,
Viking, now it's time for you to leave,
Take your Longship way across the water,
Just one more drink before you do.

Viking, now it's time to sail to new lands,
Viking, now it's time to put to sea,
Take your Longship way across the water,
Take your Longship away from me.

SHOUT, SHOUT, SHOUT to me, across the snow,
SING, SING, SING to me, all winter long,
Tell me tales of other lands that
I can never know
On your travels Viking, Go.

Viking, you'll be sailing on the Cruel Sea,
Viking, you'll feel lonely and so cold,
Fight with spirit on your quest of plunder,
Bring us back some amulets of gold

SHOUT, SHOUT, SHOUT to me, across the snow,
SING, SING, SING to me, all winter long,
Tell me tales of other lands that
I can never know
On your travels Viking, Go.

08. A Time of Changes

When will the changes occur?

When you see a cloud moving from the east,
You say rain is coming, and so it happens.
When the desert wind blows, you say it
Will be hot, and so it is. If you can read
The signs in the earth and the sky,
How is it that you cannot read the signs of The times?
The changes are occurring now!

Ask, and it shall be given you, seek and
You shall find, knock, and the door shall be
Opened to you.
Remember this:
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they
Shall see God and be one with Him.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be
Called the children of God.

Blessed are the meek,
For they have had nothing,
The doors of the world,
Have been slammed in their faces,
Blessed are the lost,
For they shall know pain,
They're counting its cost again and again.

Changing world, the world is changing,
Changing world,
A Time of Changes...... For you and me.

Blessed are the old, for they shall know anger,
To know that their lives have counted for nothing,
Blessed are the young, for they shall be ready,
The world is changing in the way it was planned.

Changing world, the world is changing,
Changing world,
A Time of Changes...... For you and me.

I see an old man looking at how it used to be,
I see an old man crying and falling to his knees,
I see a young girl crawling, raped by the world,
Nobody ever hears me calling,
They never hear a word.

Blessed are the rich, for they shall own all,
Their inheritance shall be the riches of this world,
Blessed are the poor, for they shall know peace,
Their inheritance lies in the pastures of Heaven.

Changing world, the world is changing,
Changing world,
A Time of Changes...... For you and me.

09. Saviour

The man in the Shroud, spoke to the crowd,
And His name was hallowed...... Believer!
But now He is gone, no one to right our wrongs,
And He ain't coming back...... Deceiver!
Open your eyes, look up to the skies,
But He won't rescue us...... Dreamers!

Long ago, or so we are told,
We were subject to a visit,
From the stars, from afar,
Came our Fathers,
And in our dawn, it didn't take long,
Here they spawned...................US!

The Man in the Black, is on the attack,
Claws flash in the night...... Devil!
To buy our souls, needs a little gold,
But we are still paying...... Sinners!
To save our bodies, we cry to God,
Is He really up in Heaven...... Watcher!

Long ago, or so we are told,
We were subject to a visit,
From the stars, from afar,
Came our Fathers,
And in our dawn, it didn't take long,
Here they spawned...................US!
