Caught by justice, killed a criminal
Self-defense, your plan Tried to honor, could not obey Time to feel their wrath Put in prison, set on Death Row Awaiting hell's black door Pondering death, wishing for life You will feel no more Ripping and tearing Into your flesh Feeling the needles from hell Strapped in the chair Hood over your head Sniffing no cyanide smell Struggle and struggle There is nowhere to turn Bowing your head for the kill Tasting your life as it slips by If you don't, the Slaughterhouse will Slaughterhouse Can you see me, I'm invisible Can you feel my wrath I can conquer, I can hold you In the Slaughterhouse House, Slaughterhouse 02. Absolute Power
Folk hero leader from one warring faction
Peaceful existence will justify action Climbing the ladder with assassinations Military coup for the rule of the nations Tasting the freedom to do as he pleases The more people struggle, the tighter he squeezes Generals and ministers do as he tells them His whole creed of ethics turns Machiavellian Power, Absolute Power Corrupts absolutely Despot dictator delusions of grandeur His role is the God-man, the judge and jurors Violence and treachery character defects Sadistic perversion unleashed on his subjects Power, Absolute Power Corrupts absolutely More force is needed to keep things in order Generals are plotting his imminent murder The walls of his fortress are now walls of iron His immortal empire collapses upon him Power, Absolute Power Corrupts absolutely 03. Nice Dreams
I close my eyes and drift away
The passing of another day I leave the day's despair behind In my bed I finally climb I never know when they will come And hope tomorrow ain't as long But I'm running on ice, as you can see Oh, they want me They take me to another place I'm out of hope and time and space They chase my mind like animals Chew my flesh like cannibals Why they take me, I can't see Oh spare me from this misery Like a child I fear the night Save me from these dreams tonight Nice Dreams. I close my eyes and drift away The passing of another day I leave the day's despair behind And in my bed I finally climb Surrealistic nighttime fun But this is not for everyone Some they like it, some they don't Some survive it, some they won't Why they take me, I can't see Oh spare me from this misery Like a child I fear the night Save me from these dreams tonight Nice Dreams. 04. Return From Fear
World is changing, rearranging
The weak are left behind Fear itself, the only fear Still that is in your mind Sickening state of greed and hate Our world is gone astray Their right is wrong, they don't belong They just will have their day No more fears, avenge the years Its wisdom can't be bought We must return, we must relearn Wise lessons we've forgot Past stagnation, intimidation The time for fear is gone The strong must rise with fearless eyes It's time to carry on World is changing Rearranging World is changing Rearranging 05. Test The Steel (Powermad)
Blazing to our destiny
The path is long and tough Wreckage burns on either side For some it's been too rough We've seen the vicious battle rage We've come too far to quit Forward is our only hope We'll burn up if we sit Heard the tales of men who dared To cross the line of fate Very few get though intact We can't just sit and wait The time has come to test the steel We've forged in blood and sweat Pounding speed we make our run To take all we can get We've come with one thought in our mind Heard the warning, seen the sign Forfeit everything you've had and Join us 'cause you're Powermad! We stand before the maniacs Their thoughts consumed by our attacks Can't you see the best you've had Have all been crushed, you're Powermad! 06. Plastic Town
Two nights ago they came from hell
Inventing lies that made my cell World of deceit has raped my soul For 19 years I've paid the toll Seek out these people and together Armed with flames of truth forever We melt the plastic people down Then we melt their Plastic Town The flame that sheared my bars asunder It left no time to think or wonder It seeks out those with plastic hearts And rips their plastic world apart Nineteen years ago I came Into a world that knows no shame Snatched me from my rightful place Revenge is mine, I'll leave no trace 07. B.N.R.
I've been gone for twenty years
A piece of the big war game Statistic at the Pentagon Another loss to blame Can't be a P.O.W. With no war declared No M.I.A, lives twenty years When there are no prisoners spared Where's my body now, B.N.R.? Where's my family now, B.N.R? Not an M.I.A., B.N.R. Let me rest in peace, B.N.R. Body rotten, long forgotten Lying in a muddy jungle grave Hopeless dreams, hopeless schemes There's no one for Rambo here to save Bodies Not Recovered Obsession drives the generals And hatred fuels their drive Crazed by their own guilt keeps the war and me alive Don't send commandos here in my defence Don't keep the war alive at my expense Teach the ones who lived the best you can And don't make the same mistake again B.N.R. 08. Failsafe
Miles and miles of wire make up its soul
A pinnacle of man, technology achieving its goal A new living being acquired a will of its own The beast we have nurtured is reaping just what man has sown Arm, load, aim, fire Arm, load, aim, fire Arm, load, aim, fire Fire! Wire, circuits, transistors, say we've been attacked Wire circuits transistors are all that react There is no hope, there's no turning back When the computer decides unknown track Arm, load, aim, fire! Arm, load, aim, fire! Machine void of morality A mind creates reality Machine decides what is done To it, it's just another program run Fail-fail-fail-fail 09. Brainstorms
Want to forget, but never will
Nightmare past, that haunts me still Memories I fight, when my eyes close The pain, the hate, the storm that grows I can't erase the damage done I won't forget the guilty one Yet can I stop the rage inside Can I resist this ripping tide? It feeds my anger, it feeds my hate Incites it to a frenzied state To keep control, I struggle and fight Suppress the furor with all my might My Brainstorms, beyond all logic, vengeance rules My Brainstorms, I won't give up, I must control My Brainstorms, beyond all logic, vengeance rules My Brainstorms, I won't give up, I must control My Brainstorms I know revenge, I can't afford it Must fight from being swept toward it Storm wind grows inside my heart My outraged mind is torn apart I can't forget, I never will I must restrain this lust to kill The memories flash, the screams, blood flows And deep inside the storm still grows, and grows My Brainstorms, beyond all logic, vengeance rules My Brainstorms, I won't give up, I must control My Brainstorms, this vicious circle feeds off pain My Brainstorms, I must control, I must control my brain Control, I must control, my brain Control, I must control, my brain 10. Final Frontier
Lying on a distant hill
Watching the night Watching our universes Fifty billion lights Space, The Final Frontier An infinite life force I can't comprehend Perpetual thoughts With no universal end Space, Final Frontier Call out to no one You know there's something out there Something you can feel Something you can't see at night But you know inside it's real |
