Early in the morning; it's time for you to go
I guess you're a disciple of the clock You're dreaming away, I hear what you say To live a life so boring is nothing we can do We're writing down the testament; the testament of rock We came into the light; with rock we conquered the fear Hard times, life was a fight; in denim and leather with hearts made of steel Banged our heads against the wall, Raised our fists and yelled Knock, knock open up the door; It's alive So sing with me We'll always sing our fighting song [Chorus:] We'll never stop; forever strong, it goes on and on and on We're here to write the will; the testament of rock Get lost you posers of fraud; low life you run with the pack Stay true, no mainstream betray; We live as we learn Let us take you to burn Sold ours souls to rock'n'roll to live forevermore If it's too loud than you're too old; Scream it out and let it bleed Another day another song [Chorus:] We're writing down the testament, it's our last will and our last call Writing down the testament; we're bound to rise and you shall fall [Solo] Banged our heads against the wall; Raised our fists and yelled Knock, knock open up the door; It's alive, so sing with me I'll always sing my fighting song [Chorus] 02. Power And The Glory
In the land of the dark where the horsemen ride
It is written and told 'bout the other side They are disciples without knowing why And they're blessed with a gift; so determined to die Heaven and Hell; fire and ice [Chorus:] It's the power and the glory In paradise you'll be rewarded for your sacrifice It's the power and the glory Now it's your turn, set the unholy people to burn In the cold of the night in the pale moon light Say a prayer to the one and his last goodbye Captured by evil and makers of lies Trapped in a world where the outcast will rise Fortunate and fame; life is a game [Chorus:] It's the power and the glory In paradise you'll be rewarded for your sacrifice It's the power and the glory Now it's your turn, set the unholy people to burn [Solo] We're talking 'bout heaven and Hell; fire and ice [Chorus:] It's the power and the glory In paradise you'll be rewarded for your sacrifice It's the power and the glory Now it's your turn, set the unholy people to burn 03. Rainbow Warrior
Defenders of the world now forsaken
Stealers of the sun in the making Chaos and destruction all around this time Mirror, mirror: who's the liar? To be or not to be; who was the soldier with a heart? Master and slave, so many miles apart [Chorus:] You must surrender tonight, there will be a tomorrow Words must be stronger than weapons of steel Remember the days in a decade of sorrow Come to life rainbow warrior The rainbow warrior Protectors of the earth; profit maker Surfing on the waves; nuclear shaker I may be a cynic but you'll burn in Hell Infant killer down in fire Ten tons of metal goes down to the bottom of the deep Ghost of the sailor and the guardian of the sea [Chorus:] You must surrender tonight, there will be a tomorrow Words must be stronger than weapons of steel Remember the days in a decade of sorrow Come to life rainbow warrior The man on the moon awake in the night The king of the sea; is God left behind A twist of the truth, a child of rebirth In colors so bright here on earth [Solo] Who was the soldier with a heart? Master and slave, so many miles apart [Chorus:] You must surrender tonight, there will be a tomorrow Words must be stronger than weapons of steel Remember the days in a decade of sorrow Come to life... You must surrender tonight, there will be a tomorrow Words must be stronger than weapons of steel Remember the days in a decade of sorrow Come to life... rainbow warrior The rainbow warrior The rainbow warrior 04. Call Of The Wild
Here's a song I will sing, you're a clown, I'm a king; I'm still alive
You're a fake, a disgrace, wipe that smile off your face; I'll take you down Because some day there may be a cure for this burning The rage in my soul, I'll be coming back for more [Chorus:] I'll return to the call of the wild Cold case or a son of a gun On my way to the place where I'll meet my maker Won't rest 'til I die; I'll return to the call of the wild Well I read it myself in a book by the shelf, became mesmerized It was all about me and my wish to be free from the fools around It's no joyride to be on the top of the mountain The best of the art; there are enemies everywhere [Chorus:] I'll return to the call of the wild Cold case or a son of a gun On my way to the place where I'll meet my maker Won't rest 'til I die; I'll return to the call of the wild [Solo] You must go, you're no good I'm so tired of the creatures only here to ruin my world Shut your mouth, nobody cares; this is the call of the wild ...and I'm still alive [Chorus:] I'll return to the call of the wild Cold case or a son of a gun On my way to the place where I'll meet my maker Won't rest 'til I die; I'll return to the call of the wild (call of the wild) (call of the wild) I'll return to the call of the wild (call of the wild) (call of the wild) And I'll never return to you again 05. St. Peter's Cross
Satanic tribute or a holy sign; it's burning tonight
Turned upside down, the last will of the crucified Rise; all you people must rise to make them all realize This is a war we cannot win Life is a dark road and it's leading straight to Hell [Chorus:] Are they divine or occult those who kneel by St-Peter's cross See the altar of the damned; St-Peter's cross Symbolic value caught up in between the cross and the belief Unholy game; it cannot be an happy end Liar, you're going down in fire; you'll have to stand before Lucifer's trial In this human sacrifice Road to redemption but the masters don't ask twice [Chorus:] Are they divine or occult those who kneel by St-Peter's cross See the altar of the damned; St-Peter's cross [Solo] A simple sinner or from Heaven sent; of innocence born Turned upside down, the last will of the crucified Life is a dark road and it's leading straight to Hell [Chorus:] Are they divine or occult those who kneel by St-Peter's cross See the altar of the damned; St-Peter's cross Are they divine or occult those who kneel by St-Peter's cross See the altar of the damned; St-Peter's cross St-Peter's cross Oh yeah! 06. So Many Day So Many Nights
The wizard in white; as the day turned to night in the year of never
Observing the sky as the wolf starts to cry; sleep forever See the bleeding faces, fell the winds of lost places again So many days so many nights So many days so many nights; dreaming A sorcerer's spell, he kills and he tells about the gods forsaken Possessed by the sign, the cursed and the rime; wicked taker See the bleeding faces, fell the winds of lost places again [Chorus:] So many days so many nights, dreamer, screamer, look at the world So many days so many nights, danger, stranger, walk through the black So many days so many nights, So many days so many nights So many days so many nights They're standing on the outside, they try to get in [Solo] The wizard in white; as the day turned to night in the year of never Observing the sky as the wolf starts to cry; sleep forever See the bleeding faces, fell the winds of lost places again [Chorus:] So many days so many nights, dreamer, screamer, look at the world So many days so many nights, danger, stranger, walk through the black So many days so many nights, The wizard in white So many days so many nights, I have wondered... 07. Blood River
Hear the sound of the river, it'll drag you down
You've been walking through the fire You've been raised in misery; in the name of God See the rage of the water and prepare to drown Like the wounded wants a doctor, son you really need a boat To stay alive as nature's running wild [Chorus:] Blood River; sail away When you see the light, the time has come to pay Blood River You may try to run, they'll find you anyway By the shore someone's laughing; now it's you against the world They've been lying they have cheated, made a wasteland of the earth without knowing why the innocent must die [Chorus:] Blood River; sail away When you see the light, the time has come to pay Blood River You may try to run, they'll find you anyway Life is not a fairytale; life is not a game to play longing for last goodbye, waiting for the final trial [Solo] [Chorus:] Blood River; sail away When you see the light, the time has come to pay Blood River You may try to run, they'll find you anyway 08. Anthem Of The Dark
This is the anthem of the dark
They are here again; the spirits of the dark In the house of the holy; with the Devil's mark Shine on; shine on; forever and forevermore I can see it clear so please turn off the light Making melodies and words about astral nights Dream on; dream on; tomorrow belongs to the sun [Chorus:] Don't fear what you hear, salvation is near Today's not a good day to die Don't deny what you see; it's time to believe The notes that we found in the ark The anthem of the dark Uprising from the twilight zone The anthem of the dark He was sentenced to oblivion On the witches hill the madness has begun Resurrection of the outcast; the falling one Angel of angel; he laughed when you fell from the sky [Chorus:] They are here again, the spirits, the spirits of the dark In the house of the holy; with the Devil's mark [Solo] Now we offer you the music of our souls First the stone begins to bleed and then it'll start to roll Shine on; shine on; your kingdom shall finally rise [Chorus] 09. Metal DJ
He played Sabbath bloody Sabbath
In the basement people worshiped in stereo Best friend was Uriah, I tell you loud and clear Boys get ready to fight; all right we are princes of the night Weekend warriors, disciples of hard rock radio [Chorus] He was a Metal DJ Metal DJ; once and forever Metal DJ Like children we learned, he took us to burn Black night and star struck With a whole lotta love at space station number 5 Charlotte the harlot saw when Rosie broke the law Boys get ready to fight; tonight we are hungry like before Vinyl renegades; destroyers of public radio [Chorus] Our tables have turned Metal DJ; I raise my glass Metal DJ; I fill my cup Metal DJ; I drink to you [Solo] He played the heavy songs He was our mentor With lessons in rock [Chorus] And don't you know he was a Metal DJ Metal DJ, playing all the heavy songs Metal DJ We lived and we learned he took us to burn And don't you know he was a Metal DJ Metal DJ; once and forever Metal DJ Like children we learned, he took us to burn We drink to you Heavy Metal DJ 10. Fire And Flame
Lost and gone, traces found; evil souls and evil hearts
Lost in the twilight, the day can't be found; heathens of the holy ground They are lying; the prince of the dark says it's time to come home Evil injections go straight through the heart, people with the Devil's mark It is rising, the kingdom of pleasure and eternal pain Set them free, soon they'll have to see No one can be blind when he stands by the masters of Hell and Heaven [Chorus:] To burn in the fire and flame again and again Two people of lust in the unbroken chain In the fire and flame, no light in the black Into the pyre of man; fire and flame Fire and flame Satan is anxious he wants to come home, virgin of the holy man They are strangers; thousands will gather to pray in their names Set them free, soon they'll have to see Maybe they will find a haven somewhere in between Hell and Heaven [Chorus] [Solo] [Chorus] 11. Greenfield Of Life
My pretty little angel eyes, every little thing you do to me
I know your love will kill me Pretty little angel eyes, every little word you throw at me I know someone will break us down Forgive them too blinded to see [Chorus:] Because it's third strike and out; hitting the balls in the light Greenfield of life Third strike, I'm done; missed the test flight to the stars Greenfield of life Adrenaline starts to pump, get in to a state of misery This time no one can take me I only see it black or white, beaten by my own hypocrisy This time I want you to hold me down Forgive those who did not believe [Chorus:] Because it's third strike and out; hitting the balls in the light Greenfield of life Third strike, I'm done; missed the test flight to the stars Greenfield of life I can never believe in what I see; I can never foretell about the need I am a liar I play it in repeat; I am the fire you never gonna see I can never believe in what I see; I can never foretell about the need I am a liar I play it in repeat; I am the fire you never gonna see [Solo] Someone will break us down; forgive them too blinded to see [Chorus:] Because it's third strike and out; hitting the balls in the light Greenfield of life Third strike, I'm done; missed the test flight to the stars Greenfield of life Third strike and out; hitting the balls in the light Greenfield of life Third strike, I'm done; missed the test flight to the stars (Greenfield of life) Greenfield of life (Greenfield of life) Greenfield of life Greenfield of life 12. The Healer
As I left with a grin you stood by the grave
A pilgrim's confusion. From the crypt came the fools on parade Was born with this urge. The future looked bright They called me the chosen one blessed with this might Then on the stage I saw that crippled little child In tears before the new born savior [Chorus:] I got the power to heal I got the power to heal While you run like a rat in your wheel I got the power to heal I got the power to heal Now I'm sick of your lies Be sure of that I have got the power to heal The power to heal My path may be grim, but I do what I like A menace to wisdom, I'm the nail they're so eager to bite Am I dirty or clean or something in between? My mind may be broken but my heart's made of steel The hand of late is here to lead me through the night Just like a soldier of desire [Chorus:] I got the power to heal I got the power to heal In control of the cards that you deal I got the power to heal I got the power to heal When you clutch after straws My call says that I have got the power to heal [Solo] [Chorus] 13. Evil Spirits Fly
Heavy thoughts in the dark
Hell on earth for the man without a heart Suicide worth a try; let the sky fall down All alone forever lost like the stranded On the shore where specters cry [Chorus:] Evil spirits fly, you can't hold on There's nowhere to hide When evil spirits fly above us all Forever and ever, forever and ever more What is life, what is lust? If you're stuck inside a world you cannot trust Exorcised by the words from your poisoned mind In the torture of the night, ask the angels For the road to peace [Chorus:] Evil spirits fly, you can't hold on There's nowhere to hide When evil spirits fly above us all Forever and ever, forever and ever more [Solo] All alone forever lost like the stranded On the shore where specters cry Evil, oh so evil [Chorus:] Evil spirits fly, you can't hold on There's nowhere to hide When evil spirits fly above us all Forever and ever, forever and ever more And we all must die, we all must die Evil spirits fly 14. When Darkness Comes
Hand on the bible; hand on the book that speaks of war
Two different faces of the world Now and for always; look there behind the walls of time To blind the world and see [Chorus:] When the darkness comes; screams of silence Soon it's done; when darkness comes When darkness comes Life's just a requiem; death is a never ending song Invite the spirits of relief to the house without windows Lost since the days when legends lived The only quest is to breathe [Chorus:] When the darkness comes; screams of silence Now it's done; when darkness comes Close the fire power child; it's the Devil's eye When darkness comes Is this the creation of new incarnations between good and bad? A sign of the afterlife or a dream to be dreamed, to be dreamed [Solo] I believe the darkness, it's my only friend Heavenly father; I no longer bother Oh, I'm waiting for the day [Chorus:] When the darkness comes; screams of silence Now it's done; when darkness comes Close the fire power child; it's the Devil's eye When darkness comes You know, you know that you never will die When darkness comes |
