Running Wild - Gates To Purgatory lyrics



Tracks



01. Victim Of States Power

See the danger of armament
Each single minute can be your last
World is full of killing machines
And they want to take your life
See the cruel warpigs, they suppress you
And they treat you like a slave
But there is someone, a fallen angel
And he teaches us to say "No!"

How long do you want to be the victim
Of state's power and force?
Stand up and struggle for freedom
And be Lucifer's friend

See the horror faces of mankind
And the blood running down the streets
And if you are dead or alive
They will never give a damn
See the lying popes and politicians
Giving reasons for this jinx
But there is someone, a fallen angel
And he teaches us to say "No!"

How long do you want to be the victim
Of state's power and force?
Stand up and struggle for freedom
And be Lucifer's friend

02. Adrian (Son Of Satan)

Clock strikes midnight, a wolf adores the moon
The vanguard of hell is coming soon
Bloodstained altar, crucifix inverse
The devil touched the cradle, god gets his curse
Son of Satan's coming, to free all the slaves
He's coming straight from hell, through its burning gates
He grew in a womb of a hellpossessed whore
Born to be a king to give the badness war

Free and wild, Satan's child
Adrian's taking the crown
Destruction and war, opening hell's door
To bring oppression down

Pentagram's his landmark, everywhere he has grown
He only needs one glance, to burn you to the bone
Bodies of the racists are decaying in the sun
He give 'em hell, no place to run
Each hunter becomes a victim of his power and his hate
Destroying all these bastards, Adrian's their fate
He's the new faith, the saviour to the weak
Destroying your oppression, he's the freedom you seek

Free and wild, Satan's child
Adrian's taking the crown
Destruction and war, opening hell's door
To bring oppression down

Adrian, son of Satan
Adrian, son of Satan

Birth

03. Preacher

Friday night the 13th and the ruins of a crow
Dark figures come together for an awful vow
They have sworn to Satan to celebrate a black mass
Damned rites are prepared, black angels they bless

Demon and devil, the preacher's peril

Snakeblood and poison, the cauldron is boiling
To condemn the holy cross, black rites are soiling
Witches are dancing around the altar
Praying to their master to celebrate the holy war

Demon and devil, the preacher's peril

Since million years religion keeps knowledge of the dark
The church discloses sacred rules to mark
They are full of ignorance if they don't realise
That there is more than they can see of religious size

Demon and devil, the preacher's peril

04. Black Demon

Ancient warriors, troops of hell
Demon commands, parsons to fell
Iron-bound horses, twinkling gaze
Marching to win, black laws to raise.
Satan's army, shields and swords
Crying "Deliverance!", raising their lords
Barking sleuthhounds on the parson's trail
Lucifer's warriors are bringing the gale

Hell troops conquer, burning the church
Raising hellfire, satanic rules to urge
Reaper takes, commander's black
The living dead at his back

Deliverance, black demon
Breaking the trance, black demon
To that bastard's lethal, black demon
Tonight

Heart of iron he scorns the priest
Satan he serves, sanctifies the beast
He drinks the venom, desecrates the shrine
Dethroning god, leaving his mortal sign
Satanic lord takes away the scourge
He frees all mankind from the church
Condemns the moral, raises the sin
Revenging the tortured and the loser's win

05. Soldiers Of Hell

Black shadows and black horses
Dark warriors out of hell
Mighty and evil
Reflection of an ancient tale
A gang appears beside you
They're the men you have to scare
You see their axes shining
And their long, black hair

Soldiers of hell, soldiers of hell
Soldiers of hell, soldiers of hell

Whiplashes, swordstrokes
The avaricious tyrant dies
Shining axes and shining spears
Black faces with mean, red eyes
A gang appears beside you
They're the men you have to scare
You see their axes shining
And their long black hair

Soldiers of Hell

06. Genghis Khan

He was just a gentile man
It was his love to grind
He didn't know the fear
He never had to hide
He loved the glance of metal
And the smell of blood
The flame of badness burned inside him
That was the only thing he had got

Genghis Khan

Can't you see it's all a lie
The time had it made
He was a man like you and me
His era was his fate
He freed his conquered land
From the ban of death
Freedom to the mongolenation
By fanning their wrath

Genghis Khan

07. Prisoner Of Our Time

Paint in subways
Paint in busses
With your Edding big black pentagrams
Black metal graffitis are thrown against the wall
Crucifixes are inversed
Pictures are signed by the triple six
Black metal art is shocking law 'n' order man

Rockers of the underground
Black and heavy is our sound

Lost the money
Lost the job
Being catched by the cob
I am living not the role that you wanna give to me
Living life
My own way
Not tomorrow, but today
You are against me, but I tell you K.M.A.!!!

Rockers of the underground
Black and heavy is our sound

We are prisoners of our time
But we are still alive
Fight for the freedom, Fight for the right
We are Running Wild

08. Diabolical Force

Scared up raven yells, in the cemetary darkness falls
Smouldering firebowls, from eternity hell's usher howls
Tonight

The vault hears a fatal vow of the preacher veiled in a cowl
He swears the righteous sovereign for an alliance to rouse the flame
Tonight

Diabolic force, occult enemy
Diabolic force, live eternally

He takes the wrought-iron cross, fulfilling the fiend's cause
He breaks beyond's boundary, the fate's sealed on this cemetary
Tonight

The preacher bows his head, sinking he beats all the dread
Falling in a black abyss, hearing the demon's hiss
Tonight

In eternity he waits his path, bedevilled by a certain wrath
Supported by eternal flame, men of hate to tame
Tonight

Vultures of death are flying, under their cry the evil's dying
Destroying society of hate, like thunderstorms they bring their fate
Tonight
