01. The War Drags Ever On

A war is raging that we don't understand
And I doubt that we can
There's no mistaking the mad sons of Islam
As they spill blood on the sand
A strange religion, that destroys through the Koran
Freedom's lost in this land
Hades or heaven. they're under it's command
Whatever rights had a man

We'll hear the bomb blasts round' the world
With two world wars passed they want to start the third
As they aruge 'bout the planes they shot down
And count the dead they have found
An unholy war that's raising hell to the ground

The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
Ever on

An arm is severed with a gun still in it's hand
And it's just left to be damned
Their main endeavour has not gone as it was planned
Shoot the boys where they stand
War is forever but as if we had the time
To change their thoughts in their minds
This war will never reflect on all their kind
They should be glad just to die

We'll hear the bomb blasts round' the world
With two world wars passed they want to start the third
As they aruge 'bout the planes they shot down
And count the dead they have found
An unholy war that's raising hell to the ground

The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
Ever on

A war is raging that we don't understand
And I doubt that we can
There's no mistaking the mad sons of Islam
As they spill blood on the sand
A strange religion, that destroys through the Koran
Freedom's lost in this land
Hades or heaven. they're under it's command
Whatever rights had a man

We'll hear the bomb blasts round' the world
With two world wars passed they want to start the third
As they aruge 'bout the planes they shot down
And count the dead they have found
An unholy war that's raising hell to the ground

The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on

The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on

02. When All Hell Freezes Over

I feel my heart pumping through my skin
Now I've got the hunger, killing begins
You don't have to tell me where I went wrong
You don't have to tell me where I belong

Can they still love me with their heads blown away
Can they still love me with their heads blown away

What it was is not what it seems
Let's put it down to a run of bad dreams
I'm blue in the face from screaming out loud
But I won't give in, never
I won't give in, never,
I won't give in, never

So the only chance you'll get to steal my thunder
Is when all hell freezes over
When all hell freezes over

For all these years of spilling up blood
I've fallen for something and it's not from above
You don't have to tell me the enemy's strong
You don't have to tell me 'cause I'm already gone

Can they still love me with their heads blown away
Can they still love me with their heads blown away

What it was is not what it seems
Let's put it down to a run of bad dreams
I'm blue in the face from screaming out loud
But I won't give in, never
I won't give in, never,
I won't give in, never

So the only chance you'll get to steal my thunder
Is when all hell freezes over,
When all hell freezes over
When all hell freezes over
When all hell freezes over

It's hard enough to keep your feet on the ground
They run you out of luck let you swim and then drown
They realise their mistake you don't have to look in their eyes
To see they're filled with hate...
But I survive with the hunger there ain't nothing on this
Earth to put me under

When all hell freezes over
When all hell freezes over
When all hell freezes over
When all hell freezes over

03. Honour And Blood

Are those ours, over head
Why can't they shoot the enemy instead
We took the King's shilling for killing the Hun

Over there, they must be blind
They think we're singing songs to pass time
Walking through land mines ain't really much fun

Seeing those blue skies reminds me of home
They seem to forget we're made of flesh, blood and bone
But we didn't come here to die on our own
To be remembered in a tower of stone

For their honour
For their honour and their blood
Honour and blood
For their honour
For their honour and their blood
Honour and blood

See the fear in our eyes
They kick us to make sure we're still alive
To fulfill the duty of shooting someone

If I were dead I'd understand
But I never thought that I could kill a man
Maybe tomorrow I won't see the sun

Seeing those blue skies reminds me of home
They seem to forget we're made of flesh, blood and bone
But we didn't come here to die on our own
To be remembered in a tower of stone

For their honour
For their honour and their blood
Honour and blood
For their honour
For their honour and their blood
Honour and blood

Are those ours, over head
Why can't they shoot the enemy instead
We took the King's shilling for killing the Hun

Over there, they must be blind
They think we're singing songs to pass time
Walking through land mines ain't really much fun

Seeing those blue skies reminds me of home
They seem to forget we're made of flesh, blood and bone
But we didn't come here to die on our own
To be remembered in a tower of stone

For their honour
For their honour and their blood
Honour and blood
For their honour
For their honour and their blood
Honour and blood

04. Chain Of Fools

Well I never thought
That I was your man
But I found out
I'm just a link in this chain

She's got me where she wants me
I ain't nothing but a fool
She treated me mean
Yeah treated me cruel

Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain of fools

One fine morning
This chain's gonna break
On that same morning
Will be all I can take

She found me another woman
That my heart never sees
Now I'm a first class fool yeah
Not the first to be

Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain of fools

I never want to leave you alone
My momma says to come on home
My doctor says I better take it easy
'Cause your loving is too strong

Well I never thought
That I was your man
But I found out
I'm just a link in this chain

She's got me where she wants me
I ain't nothing but her fool
She treated me mean
Yeah treated me cruel

Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain, chain, chain
Chain of fools

05. W.M.L.A.

I'm walking home and it's so cold
But I can feel the warmth of your hand
I'd walk through pouring rain and snow
For your wish and every command

It's hard enough for me to say
What I want, what I feel
You know I want you to say
But, could it ever be real

Look at me now
There are tears in my eyes
And it's two in the morning
I'll never know how
You can say you're in love
And then push me away

I'm wasting my life away
I'm wasting my life away

There's nothing else that I can do
You know that it is my whole life
There's only so much to go through
And we've got only one night

Look at me now
There are tears in my eyes
And it's three in the morning
I'll never know how
You can say you're in love
And then push me away

I'm wasting my life away
I'm wasting my life away
I'm wasting my life away
My whole damn life
I'm wasting my life away
My life away, yeah

And now it's all over
And I can breathe again
Wiser and older
But I can still feel the pain

Look at me now
There are tears in my eyes
And it's five in the morning
I'll never know how
You can say you're in love
And then push me away

I'm wasting my life away
I'm wasting my life away
I'm wasting my life
My whole damn life
I'm wasting my life away
I'm wasting my life away

I'm wasting my life
I'm wasting my life
I'm wasting my life away
I'm wasting my life
I'm wasting my life away

06. Too Tired To Wait For Love

I'm sick and tired of listening to your habitual lying
I didn't understand it 'cause it's just bad timing
I try to tell her but she won't keep still
She'll never know it but she always will

I can't tell you what she's thinking of
One thing's for certain and it won't be love

Too tired to wait for love
Too tired to wait for love
Too tired to wait for love
Too tired to wait for love
Too tired to wait for love
Too tired to wait for love
Too tired to wait for love

She be-littles her lovers and for no good reason
Is there anything left that she could still believe in
She'll be the one that's gonna break your heart
You'll never know it till it falls apart

I can't tell you what she's thinking of
One thing's for certain and it won't be love

Too tired to wait for love
Too tired to wait for love
Too tired to wait for love
Too tired to wait for love
Too tired to wait for love
Too tired to wait for love
Too tired to wait for love

She seems to think that I'm ill, sick in the mind
But does the blind lead the blind
I must be careful so I don't seem unkind
You betcha!

Too tired to wait for love
Too tired to wait for love
Too tired to wait for love
Too tired to wait for love
Too tired to wait for love
Too tired to wait for love
Too tired to wait for love
Too tired to wait for love

07. Kill

I'll tell it to your body
Piercing skin with a power drill
I'm running through you honey
It's time for some blood to spill

I'll hold you under water
Throw in the fire and turn it on
Decapitate and slaughter
It's easy just to use a gun

Do you remember
When I walked your hand
Do you remember
That I felt so bad
That you'd been blown away for good

Kill! The poor bastard's dying
Kill! The poor bastard's dying
Kill! The poor bastard's dying
Kill! The poor bastard's dying

She's lost all sense of feeling
As her leg falls on the floor
I never heard the screaming
Of breaking hands in a slamming door

The hand is burned and peeling
Melt it right down to the bone
The carcass is still bleeding
And the face will remain unknown

Do you remember
When I walked your hand
Do you remember
That I felt so bad
That you'd been blown away for good

Kill! The poor bastard's dying
Kill! The poor bastard's dying
Kill! The poor bastard's dying
Kill! The poor bastard's dying

Kill! And no-one else here to blame me...

There's nothing left but a clawing hand
The smell of death, decomposing glands
The woman's spine is snapped in two
No more eyes for her to see thru

Do you remember
When I walked your hand
Do you remember
That I felt so bad
That you'd been blown away for good

Never again to walk through your face

Kill! The poor bastard's dying
Kill! The poor bastard's dying
Kill! The poor bastard's dying
Kill! The poor bastard's dying
Kill! The poor bastard's dying
Kill! The poor bastard's dying
Kill! The poor bastard's dying
Kill! The poor bastard's dying

08. The Man That Never Was

When I sleep I get the same old dream
About a girl when I was sweet sixteen
She looked at my legs and then in between
I didn't know where the hell she'd been

It's no wonder that I scream out loud
When you are always trying to put me down
You trying to tell me they're breaking away
That's the same line I've heard all day
And that's how this all started

I'm the man that never was
I'm the man that never was
I'm the man that never was
I'm the man that never was

I'd like to tell you but where can I start
You want the apple not the apple cart
Breaking wind and breaking hearts
I don't know how to tell the two apart

You tried to blame me for all your mistakes
Do you realize how much this takes
You trying to tell me they're breaking away
That's the same line I've heard all day
And that's how this all started

I'm the man that never was
I'm the man that never was
I'm the man that never was
I'm the man that never was

I'd like to tell you but where can I start
You want the apple not the apple cart
Breaking wind and breaking hearts
I don't know how to tell the two apart

You're trying to tell me that this is the end
I don't really know what you intend
You're trying to tell me they're breaking away
But it's the same line I've heard all day

I'm the man that never was
I'm the man that never was
I'm the man that never was
I'm the man that never was
