Searching in the darkness, searching for the light
Looking to the darkness, putting up a fight
Iron chains surround you, you try to make a run
Someone near has found you, and now you see the sun

Bright lights, now you can see where you are
Far, out in the universe
Now, you, try to escape from this spot
Hot, ready or not

Take this torch

Feel the white hot metal, feel it burn your skin
Experience the torture, pay for all your sins
Taken to the stairwell, taken to a cell
Scorches all your body, taste the wrath of hell

Metal fury, metal sound
We'll rock this place right to the ground
Pounding drums, pounding bass
The look of anger in your face
Lights and action hit the floor
Speed and power, give me more
Molten mayhem, tempered steel
Love to hear the guitar squeal

Fast and loud
Loud and proud
Gotta rock hard
To please the crowd
Fast and loud
Power trip
Now's the time
To let it rip!

Spikes and leather fill the hall
Really want to please you all
Armoured fists, i see them shake
How much can our bodies take?
Sound of metal in the air
Time for you to get your share
Metal fans fill our dreams
Love to hear your metal screams!

Deep within these ruins is a city full of life
A growing force surpassing all the poverty and strife
An underground militia taking orders from but one
The right to choose who lives or dies 'til senseless victories won
The deadly prowlers are active through the night
To seek their vengeance on others who will fight
Can't see past the fact that they're fighting for their lives
The enemies seek liberation from something deep inside

City of damnation: aggression rules their lives
City of damnation: beckons them to die
City of damnation: on a killing spree
City of damnation: fighting endlessly

They cannot lose the power of a never ending cause
They reach with fear at better things ignoring all the laws
The street becomes a jungle and death attains respect
The bloody anger takes control and minds it does infect
Unending struggle complicates with sheer determination
Killing friend, killing foe, fulfilled extermination
They guard against the enemy to save the territory
A battle which results in death and takes away the glory

Trapped in streets of debris, they're masters at their trade
The fury and the violence will never cease or fade
Alongside all their rivals, dead bodies prove their loss
They're really only rebels both fighting for one cause

The mighty clash, no time for fear
All civil rights are lost
Death to all the innocent
The unborn are the cost
Trampling through the human waste
As hopeless as it seems
A driving force, an inner flame
Compels me to my dreams

Try to cut loose, try to break free
I just can't climb any higher
They're closing in, for the kill
Escape the fire

Crushing down the multitudes
The depths of hell ascend
Mist upon a moonlit sky
Fades to oblivion
Wretched captors force their way
On those who will not fight
Bloodstained vengeance rules their mind
The fire's burning bright

Obsessed with total anarchy
The battle rages on
Regimes shall fall to the ground
We must prove them wrong
Destruction levels city streets
Product of desire
I realize my fate is death
I can't escape the fire

Cold and silent prophecy
Brought about by fears
Foretold to all the masses
Forgotten through the years
The end to all predictions
Yes time is growing near
The march of death approaches
The fate of man is clear

They run to find a hiding place
To hide themselves from sheer disgrace
The Gods have come to claim their heads
Triumphant when they're dead

A million wars united
Repayment for our lives
Widespread grief and terror
The nations face demise
Amidst the passive sorrow
They toll the final bell
The sacred rise above us all
The evil burn in hell

The corpses of the wicked
Surpass those of the good
The cities lay in ruin
Amongst the fire and blood
Destructive forces rendered
The pulse of mankind ends
Upon the frozen bodies
The march of death descends

Earthshaking sound, how far away?
It's hard to tell, but I hope it doesn't stay
Potential danger, awaits us all
Before it's over, how many more will fall?

Can we escape the distant thunder
Or will we ever get away?
Defend against the ruthless hunters
Or stay and rot in death's decay

The rebel's call is seldom heard
Untimeless efforts and no one says a word
The battlecry, fierce mechanism
It just goes on amongst their indecision

Metallic mayhem on the loose
Molten rock provides the juice
Rampant start, you just can't hold
Burning heat lost all control
Everywhere you just can't hide
Spreading out it's nationwide
Metal lets you live today
Bands like us, we lead the way

Hot metal, turning you around
Hot metal, burning you down
Hot metal, gets in your brain
I'm feeling pain, from hot metal

Maximum volume soon obtained
Rivet heads now unchained
Studs and leather overflow
Aim to please at the show
Infesting cities one by one
Clenching fists, damage done
Always keeping up the pace
Love to see your violent face

The power rips through the night
Energy you just can't fight
No escape from the fire
Tension mounts and takes you higher
Thousand there at the hour
Band plays on and grasps the power
Clench your fist and start to shake
How much onslaught can you take?

You're a GATECRASHER, sweat beads on your head
GATECRASHER, blood is what you shed
GATECRASHER, lash society
GATECRASHER, it's what you want to be

The speed builts intensity
The metal has complexity
The feel of leather, clang of chain
Ears are bleeding from the pain
The grind shatters time and space
A glow around a broken face
Enslaves your mind and very soul
Seems so bold and yet so cold

The lights they set the stage ablaze
You're left there in a metal daze
From the sound, shrapnel flies
The music never seems to die

GATECRASHER!

Rebel racer speeding on
Will you ever reach the sun?
Blazing chrome, gleam machine
Fastest thing you've ever seen
Melting rubber clear a turn
You can smell the tires burn
Rapid speed, really steaming
Heavy metal really screaming

Beyond the realms of death
With each unspoken breath
There's nothing you can't face
In a death race

Straightforward course not hard to hold
Into the mists, nights so cold
You create a battle zone
Engine grinds to the bone
Smell of gas fills the air
Fuel leak, best beware
Driving hard, no second thought
Warning lights, don't get caught

Aiming for the blazing sun
So close he thinks the battle's won
Fuel blows from a single spark
Fireball lights up the dark
Rebel racer is no more
Battle's lost, black smoke and gore
Time forgets another soul
One more mark on the death toll

Beyond the realms of death
With each unspoken breath
Explosion leaves no trace
In a death race

The Sons of Mayhem waiting
Time to start the fire
Volume overwhelming
Can't go any higher
Like a thunderhead above you
The storm is on its way
With Razor's edge we maim you
because we love to play

Time bomb explodes, time bomb blows
Time bomb expires, time bomb's on fire
Our amps are loud, no turning down
Metal in force, it takes its course

Welcome to the slaughter,
I hope you're having fun
Living for the evening
We never see the sun
The party's getting started
The music's getting hot
Forget the non-believers
Work with what you've got

Chains, spikes, volume!
Time bomb takes its toll
Speed, power, leather!
Metal rock 'n' roll
If you like it
Stand up for your rights!
Hold your fists up!
Heads will bang tonight!

City lights are dimming
Kings and Queens alive
Flames of red are burning
As they diminish time

Eyes of greed are rising
The aides of good will send
Conflict of extremity
A cry, it's the end

Crawling from a shaken mind
The prophets ask us why
The jaws of the sharpest realm
Leave us all to die

The population's gathered
Persuaded to defend
The weakness is intelligence
The strength is in - the end
