Weigh anchor, hoist the sails
Cruisin' for booty on watery trails No exploiter we see can still sail on Our cannons fire till his ship goes down Fly our flag, we teach them fear Capture them, the end is near Firing guns, they shall burn Surrender or fight, there's no return Under Jolly Roger Venerable scoundrels, no blood on our hands Our engagements are tough, but only for defence Carefully we sail around the reefs To force those die-hards to their knees Fly our flag, we teach them fear Capture them, the end is near Firing guns, they shall burn Surrender or fight, there's no return Under Jolly Roger Coming through the waves to free all the captives Boarding the vessels we know all the tactics We're the menace, the curse of the sea We pulverize the men'o'war, pay or flee Fly our flag, we teach them fear Capture them, the end is near Firing guns, they shall burn Surrender or fight, there's no return Under Jolly Roger 02. Beggar's Night
Blood, blood, bloody night
The poor stand up and fight Marquises, kings and all this vermin Hunted up in burning streets Fight, fight, fight with rage Their menials are locked up in a cage The spirit of the rebel lives Determined to break free We stand up to break our chains Rulers beware We'll take your scepter and reign On beggar's night Riot terminates our pain We'll catch you in your lair You have to pay for your blame On beggar's night Sin, sin, whip and chain That's the way they live and reign Too many people died in their dungeon Now pain's too hard if it's for their profit Beast, beast, go away No reason why you have to stay The wealth you squeezed out of our lives Will become your tomb We stand up to break our chains Rulers beware We'll take your scepter and reign On beggar's night Riot terminates our pain We'll catch you in your lair You have to pay for your blame On beggar's night 03. Diamonds Of The Black Chest
Since the day he heard about the chest
He's so wild he can't get no rest A million diamonds blinding his eyes Brighter than fire but colder than ice Sweat on his brow, greed burns his mind Hands like claws, his teeth always grind Soaked by sweat he wakes up and screams "Oh, no, it was only a dream" Diamonds, diamonds Diamonds of the black chest Years and years he sought that chest He runs most every risk, the man's obsessed For 10 years he's roamed all the lands To feel the diamonds in his hands He finds the hallowed spot, breaking its lock He opens the gate which is carved of rock Finding the chest he exults and screams "Oh, yeah, it's no dream" Diamonds, diamonds Diamonds of the black chest He holds out his hands and he touches the chest He breaks its seal, he disturbs its rest Curious and slow he opens the lid He stares over the edge, what he sees he can't grip No diamonds but he sees his own face A possessed wreck with an empty gaze Thrilled by madness he's dying in pain "No dream, he's insane" Diamonds, diamonds Diamonds of the black chest 04. War In The Gutter
Warriors of the street
Wanna beat their enemies The shark's broke the truce Tonight's the night, who'll win who'll lose This is not your turf Unarmed you just die first Ruthless they fight their fight To defend their walls feeds their pride Senseless massacre tonight Kid kills kid in this riot The rulers don't want to care Deaf and blind hiding in their lair War in the gutter, fight! Watch out! Gunshell, shotgun You have to fight or run The kids fight tonight Who knows who's wrong, who's right Shining blade, a yell Running blood, a kid fell He's so surprised He dies in the gutter another wasted life Senseless massacre tonight Kid kills kid in this riot The rulers don't want to care Deaf and blind hiding in their lair War in the gutter, fight! 05. Raise Your Fist
Friday night, dressed to kill, hell bent for the show
Shiny leather like a second skin, ready for the first row You want to go to meet your pals, but your dad won't let you go He's totally blind, babbling wild, and he rages and he blows "I don't want you boy to leave my house this way! Your awful friends are gonna lead you astray You better work for school don't join this fucking show I won't let you go!" Come on kids unite and let us feed the flames of rage Together we are strong so let's tear up this golden cage We shall overcome repression and their strangling strings The shackles have to fall and we will be metallian kings Raise your fist Monday morning, ringing school-bell, homework isn't done Teacher's gonna break your balls, don't expect no fun The jailer's wild and furious, classmates deride you too The wrath is overwhelming you, can't stand this fucking crew! "I don't want you scums let me get away from here I don't want to be a cogwheel in your gear I'm no marionette in your boring puppet show So let me go!" Come on kids unite and let us feed the flames of rage Together we are strong so let's tear up this golden cage We shall overcome repression and their strangling strings The shackles have to fall and we will be metallian kings Raise your fist 06. Land Of Ice
In 1987 they build a new machine
To conquer our future, to face things never seen Curious of new weapons with more power to destroy Ready for the voyage with their exciting dangerous toy Flickering lights in the dark indicating ignition Energy runs through the circuits to start the transmission Land of ice In 1999 they find their destination But reality on the screens destroys their fascination Ruins and debris neither life nor a spore A desert of ice with all the signs of nuclear war Only the wind is breaking the threatening silence Sensors show no human beings are living here now But there are shadows moving around the vessel more and more Disfigured creatures gathering, scratching claws on the door The choir of the damned built of thousands of rough throats "You are the humans of the past, who blasted our hopes" Have you come to see the desolate world you created Now you can take back a message to spread in your time Tell'em what happens if they will continue this madness Stop building bombs which are able to change the world Into the land of ice 07. Raw Ride
Racing through the night
Pounding engine's roar There's nothing that's like this I'm burning to the core Exhaust hangs in the air Wind pressure twists my face I love to ride and dare Tonight I'm being chased Riding hard, riding fast Full speed ahead, hear my engine's blast Spinning wheels roll down the road I'm a bundle of power, see my rims glow Raw ride On burning wheels tonight Shooting through the dark Taking bend after bend Pistons are pumping hard I'm gonna ride to the end Twilight's coming slow Like a jackal on attack But I know I have to go To go on and show my back Riding hard, riding fast Full speed ahead, hear my engine's blast Spinning wheels roll down the road I'm a bundle of power, see my rims glow Raw ride On burning wheels tonight I have to break free, to live on my own way tonight I don't give a goddamn, what you want to force upon me Fuck you!!! 08. Merciless Game
The fruits of the earth are dried up in the sun
The children can't cry anymore Desperate parents with lean empty hands Their bodies are too weak, too sore Fat bottomed breathers keep talking about hunger And don't even know what it means Under the cloak of plain charity They feather their nest with your dreams Cry for the innocent children who die An indignified death, it's a shame Political power's more important than life Let's stop this merciless game Superfluous victuals piled up to the edge The stocks are filled up to the sky Millions of dollars for storage each year And a nickel for people to die We can't deny it's a shame for our race It's about time to begin With a fight against poverty, distress and pain To hesitate now is a sin Cry for the innocent children who die An indignified death, it's a shame Political power's more important than life Let's stop this merciless game |
