These fits of depression are torturing me
The lives that I seen won't breath again A sad child of madness, they'll never be free Born again to die, the agonies begin And soldiers keep coming - like warriors they die But gang land's alive when mothers cry Cause hate's blind addictions, a killing machine And it burns on the fuel of shattered lives - lost child, lost child The seeds of all evil are sown in their minds And harvest the sad fields of woe Cause dead boys are martyr That live on forever But now it's too late for their souls Standing on sanities too fragile edge And worship the "Lord of Flies" And wade through the slaughter You've made of the brother And drown in his blood then when he dies You see in their eyes They're the lost child See in their eyes You see in their eyes They're the lost child See in their eyes Don't turn out the lights Cause there's demons in the night And they prey on the fears in us all They hide inside and wait And they shun the light of day The screams in their dreams fill us all Children of a night Such a sad tune they rhyme The bloody boys that sing a wicked song And for all of them they're just memories in the wind Rise and see It's the down of insanity Keeper of the gates of fire And the Heretic has said You don't have to be afraid Till I - till I come to get ya And child in time On the swords edge you ride And cast a spell of Heresy And die in vain Like a wild dog in chains And no-one can save Or set you free 02. The Real Me Lyrics by Pete Townsend
I went back to the doctor
To get another shrink. I sit and tell him about my weekend, But he never betrays what he thinks. Can you see the real me, doctor? I went back to my mother I said, "I'm crazy ma, help me." She said, "I know how it feels son, 'Cause it runs in the family." Can you see the real me, mother? The cracks between the paving stones Look like rivers of flowing veins. Strange people who know me Peeping from behind every window pane. The girl I used to love Lives in this yellow house. Yesterday she passed me by, She doesn't want to know me now. Can you see the real me, can you? I ended up with the preacher, Full of lies and hate, I seemed to scare him a little So he showed me to the golden gate. Can you see the real me preacher? Can you see the real me doctor? Can you see the real me mother? Can you see the real me? 03. The Headless Children
Father come save us from this
Madness we're under God of creation are we blind? Cause some here are slaves That worship guns that spit thunder The children that you've made Have lost the minds This monster that we call the earth Is bleeding Cause the children have been Left along too long This thing that we've made is fat And feeds on the hate Of the millions that it's taught to sing The song The headless children The screams that fill the night Fill the night fill the night fill the night Oh the headless children The madness steals the light Steals the light steals the light steals the light Time bombs in the hands of all the wicked warbabies Light the fuse of temptation and we all burn Four horsemen sit high up in the saddle And waiting are ride the bloody trail of no return Sleeping in the arms of a nightmare and Wake to find we've been away too long This Frankenstein of flash Stitched together back from death And preying on the souls of everyone The headless children The screams that fill the night Fill the night fill the night fill the night Oh the headless children The madness steals the light Steals the light steals the light steals the light 04.

Mephisto Waltz
[Instrumental]
08. Forever Free
I ride all alone and can't see
The road to nowhere anymore And shadows whispers are calling me To forbidden forests by the shore And there she fell, deep in the night One breath away from heavens light And she said - don't cry for me I'm leaving you The wind cries her name in the breeze But I can't hold her anymore /no, no, no/ Some fallen angel had come to me And fell too heavy on my soul And stole from me the love that I heard Lords of time say never die And she sad - don't cry for me, because I'll be Riding the wind forever free High in the wind forever free I'll ride the wind forever free High in the wind forever free Forever in my hearts a fire, a fire burning I wake up nights and hear her crying, crying my name 09. Maneater
Turn loose the lightning metal hawgs
And set me free Turn loose my crying metal hearts' 1200 C.C. Cold steel forever I'm gonna ride And burn the flame That breaths the fire - breaths the fire And can't be tamed Thunder rolling down the highway These wheels of fire eat you alive - them Outlaw riders going my way A Harley child until I die Maneater - born free I ride Maneater - wings of freedom Born the line for metal minds Run to the scorching desert sun V-twins will scream Into the blackness of the night, at twisting speed High on the hawg I'm riding on Engines explode It feels like thunder it's breathing fire It rules the road Milwaukee metal on the highway These wheels of fire eat you alive - them Outlaw riders going my way Only the strong here will survive Maneater - born free I ride Maneater - wings of freedom Born the line for metal minds Them bad boys riding on forever When they die they ride in Harley heaven Maneater - born free I ride Maneater - wings of freedom Born the line for metal minds Maneater - born free I ride Maneater - wings of freedom Born the line for metal minds 10. Rebel In The F.D.G.
I live my life like
A shot in the wind If tomorrow don't come I know I stole me share of fun for me Cause I'm too fast, too rad I'm going wasted when I go The cost of freedom's never free It's the deep six it's my fix It's my best friend Cause it's my way, or the highway I tell ya it's the living end I'm a rebel in the F.D.G. And I say only God in the heaven knows I'm a bad child, come and love me And I say oh, yeah I'm a rebel in the F.D.G. And I say only God in the heaven knows I'm a bad child, come and love me And I say oh, yeah If you're fast ya might last Show ya gotta go A wild one in the decadent zoo Ooh, I lick up all my seven deadly sins Cause I'm too hot, too cool I might burn, but I'll burn in the wind It's the deep six it's my fix Cause it's my way or the highway I'll tell ya what I am Oh I, I feel the heat and I I touch the flesh and bone And I feel the kiss of fire Too fast to live, too fast to die Mom and Daddy say,"I'm dancing in the fire" Sometimes I feel like an animal in a cage I pace back and forth, and look around For something to sink my teeth into But nobody knows what's going on inside me 11. Locomotive Breath
In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath, Runs the all-time loser, Headlong to his death. He feels the piston scraping -- Steam breaking on his brow -- Thank God, he stole the handle and The train won't stop going -- No way to slow down. He sees his children jumping off At the stations -- one by one. His woman and his best friend -- In bed and having fun. He's crawling down the corridor On his hands and knees -- Old Charlie stole the handle and The train won't stop going -- No way to slow down. He hears the silence howling -- Catches angels as they fall. And the all-time winner Has got him by the balls. He picks up Gideon's Bible -- Open at page one -- God stole the handle and The train won't stop going -- No way to slow down. 12. For Whom The Bell Tolls
The tarot is fate, said the Gypsy Queen
And she beckoned me, to glimpse my future she'd seen She said "Try to run away, don't know what to do Do you feel it's real do you believe it's true? When I lay the card down will it turn up the fool? Will it turn up sorrow? Is there one there for you?" For whom the bell tolls, it tolls for me For whom the bell tolls, it tolls for me Illusions are real, and the dreams that you feel I'll come back to you and voice the scream in your ear She said "Try to run away, don't know what to do Do you feel it's real do you believe it's true? When I lay the card down will it turn up the fool? Will it turn up sorrow? Is there one there for you?" For whom the bell tolls, it tolls for me For whom the bell tolls, it tolls for me 13. Lake Of Fools
Fifty million miles below my feet
There's a lot of people I'd like to meet There's theives and killers Harlots and whores All were misguided But not any more... So I see their fate In the black of the doom Waves of fire in the storm Creatures howl at the moon They're screaming intensly Their cries are heard for miles A prince resides there Lake of fools, burning wild 14. War Cry
Oh I, I was marked from the day I was born
A rebel and I was the one who I am My father could not understand the fire in me There was, there was times I was crazy for real So crazy I just couldn't feel, no, no, no Confusion would stand in the door and tell me lies But now I stand on my feet so alive I'm a metal warrior, I need their cries, War Cry I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune Ahh, come take a stand Together we'll let out a cry I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune Ahh, come take a stand Together we'll never say die Oh I, I did not choose, the music chose me I was christened and destined to be who I am The one that they said would be damned A hellion child that...? I stand at the mirror and sing I dare to be different and dream, now I am Big thunder that rolls on the land forever wild But still, this feeling inside never die I'm a metal warrior, I need their cries, War Cry I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune Ahh, come take a stand Together we'll let out a cry I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune Ahh, Come take a stand Together we'll never say die Raise your fist and support your rebel outlaws Cause nobody rides for free The freedom we lose today, you lose tomorrow Because freedom means something to us... I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune Ahh, come take a stand Together we'll let out a cry I'm a soldier, soldier, a soldier of fortune Ahh, come take a stand Together we'll never say die |
