01. I've Been To Hell

Music by Eckert/Sielck
Lyrics by Sielck
[The almost perfect extinction of the human race during the savior-war has pushed the bio-unit to the edge. In deep depression, driven away from home and in the soli-tude of deep space this poor soul has seen Hell...]

I saw my children from up in the sky
Bleeding and sentenced to die
Devastation and Termination
I've been your angel of death
Watching unmoved
I've been awaiting your final breath

Children forgive me
For I've been so wrong
Fate took revenge
On all I have done

I've been to Hell
I've seen the fires burning
Oh, I saw Hell
Demons I heard you calling
So many years I've been out there alone
Broken and scared to the bone
Out in the dark
Sorrow and grief possessed my heart

Out of control
In this deadly machine
Innocent victims
Are haunting my dreams

I've been to Hell...

Rage
Agony
Endless pain
I'll never be the same

[Solo by Piet]

Castaway
Today
Light years away from home
Blood on my hands
I must redeem
I will repent

No more repoungance between the machine
And my tortured mind
Together we're strong - now we are one
One of a kind

I've been to Hell...

To Hell I have been to pay for my sin
But no more I'll burn - I shall return

Demons of darkness
You've been calling me
But I'm clear in my mind now
And I'm on my way and I am free

02. Never Say Die

Music & lyrics by Sielck
[Like the Jaws of Hell the burning gate glows in unholy light. What horror lies beyond this rip in the continuum? The crewmen know that it is not likely to return, but never say die...]

I am your leader
I'm in command
The fate of all my followers
Lies in my hand

The burdon of what is right or wrong
Decisions have to be made
I have to take you all
Inside this burning gate

Will we ever come back
Follow me now
We will attack

Never say die
On wings of hope we'll fly
Never surrender
No never - never say die
Dragons of light
We're leaving tonight
The wings of hope bring us high
Never say die

Fighters are launching up into the sky
On fire they ride
Goddess of fate
Guide and protect us tonight

Into darkness and shadow
So far beyond
Oh, I don't know
If there will be tomorrow

Never say die...

Warriors hear my call
The Evil has to fall

[SOLO Piet - Kai - Piet - Kai - both]

Will we ever come back
We're going beyond
Follow me now
We will attack
Never say die...

Never say - never say - never say die!

03. The Hellion - Electric Eye

Music & lyrics by Tipton/Halford/Downing
Up here in space
I'm looking down on you.
My lasers trace
Everything you do.
You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind.
There is no true escape

I'm watching all the time.
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam.
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean.

I'm elected electric spy
I protected electric eye.
Always in focus
You can't feel my stare.
I zoom into you
You don't know I'm there.
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove.

Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
's nothing you can do about it.
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows.
Protected. Detective. Electric eye.

04. Headhunter

I am the animal
My god, I am the beast
I love to see you bleed
So welcome to my feast
We're serving human flesh
To keep you satisfied
With every bloody bite you eat
Another's going to die

Don't give me politics
Don't give me public schools
Just keep your cops and t.v. priests
We're breaking all the rules
I am the raging bull
No fear, No Sympathy
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
That's my cup of tea

Feel the heat
Throw your bodies into the fire
Time to feed
Headhunter

My axe is clean and sharp
and blade is shining bright
She's hungry for her midnight snack
And heads will roll tonight
I am the hunter
Not easy to please
Stand in line, you queens of lust
Get down on your knees

Chorus

Headhunter
