Live To Die Another Day
Yes I walk through valleys deep
Shadows of death I will fear no thing I fear no man and no evil speak No slave to grave and no death to be Almighty's riding next to me I know I've, I got the devil to beat Hellbounds are running close to me On the trail of my life I was hellbound but now I'm running free From Satan's Angels of Light Resurrect me high An then rise me up Reaper leaving my bones I'm dead asleep until now You wake me up Rapture me and I'm gone I'll live to die Die another day Another place, another time I'll live to die - Oh Lord I'll Rise to life again I will live to die another time Oh so close I feel him breathe Devil's come for my life Showdown's a coming round ya see A bigger gun I come to take his life Resurrect me high And shake me up Leave the Reaper my bones Raise the dead in me now And take me up Rapture me and I'm gone Yes I walk through valleys deep I will fear no man I will fear no speak No slave to grave and no death to be Almighty's riding next to me 03. Babylon's Burning
Listen close to hooves you hear
Are thunders coming dread John the Revelator's dream Had seen a terror vision Of the spirit led With wrath to reign And with slaves to flame They kneeled and sealed a kiss Plagues and pain and fiery rain And blaspheme on his lips Babylon's a-burning, Babylon's a-burning Six hundred 6, 6 and 7 seals A pale rider and his horses sing Babylon's a-burning, Babylon's a-burning Six hundred 6, 6 the rising beast Bears the mark of Babylon to be Arising with the beast a sea of men A bloody moon of red A whore of Babylon to bleed the seed And make 'em take the mark upon their heads They bowed and kneeled a mark to seal Their souls unto a kiss With fire and flames and with Souls to claim And rise from the abyss [Revelation 13] And I stood upon the sand of the sea And saw a beast rise out of the sea Having ten horns and seven heads Ten crowns upon his head Who is like unto the beast? Given his mouth great things to speak If any man has an ear Let him hear, let him hear 04. Burn
The sky is red I don't understand
Past midnight I still see the land People are sayin' the woman is damned She makes you burn with a wave of her hand The city's a blaze the town's on fire The woman's flames are reachin' higher We were fools we called her liar all I hear is burn I didn't believe she was devil's sperm She said curse you all you'll never learn When I leave there's no return The people laughed til she said burn Warning came no one cared Earth was shakin' we stood and stared When it came no one was spared still I hear burn You know we had no time we could not even try You know we had no time You know we had no time we could not even try You know we had no time The sky is red I don't understand Past midnight I still see the land People are sayin' the woman is damned She makes you burn with a wave of her hand Warning came no one cared Earth was shakin' we stood and stared When it came no one was spared still I hear burn burn 05. Into The Fire
Give it to me slow
Give now to me Scream in my ear Give it loud to me Ooh come feel confusion Its illusion it ain't real Your love your lust Could never feel Their thief in my eyes Oh I come to steal Ooh I gave it all to you Give it all to me You gave into the fire Don't blame it on me Your devil's your desire now No, ain't no shame on me Give into the fire Get down on your knees And fame's your desire Don't tell it, don't tell it to me Your lust I can feel don't cry my name I don't wanna hear it You passion, you pain Ooh my name is fame And I don't claim To be real I take it all from you Give it all to me You gave into the fire Don't blame it on me Your devil's your desire now No, ain't no shame on me Give into the fire Get down on your knees I don't want you to love me Just give it all, give it all to me Laid down in the fire You gave into me Face in desire, oh my Shame ain't no thing to me Led you to a liar Never gonna see Fed you to a lion, trying See in me what you thought I'd be Oh it's all about lust Say what you will Say it Say fame's all you need Say things you believe Can you say that you don't need? Say that you don't bleed? You're burning up up up Say you're up up up, take me Up up celebrate me, made you take me Made you break me 06. Thunder Red
There's a creature coming born
Of your pagan blessed There is thunder coming down Around your head Ride the fire now momma Thunder's come again A soul to flame and rain down on ya Red rider said The hills are running red Better hide under your bed Hide your children mother Thunder red The hills are turning red Get on your knees and beg Thunder red's a-coming Thunder red You're reaping nothing more Than your shamelessness Then sew it all together When he comes Ride it down now momma Fire's come again Come to claim the souls to blame and Riding off with them The hills are running red Better hide under your bed Hide your children mother Thunder red The hills are turning red Get on your knees and beg Thunder red's a-coming To get you red Fathers and nuns, nowhere to run Four horsemen riding on the wind Momma hide your sons Daddy get your gun Four hooves of thunder's come again Oh, run red Red thunder's coming home For your blamelessness And rolling you forever in your dust Ride the fire now momma Thunder's coming again Ain't no time to hide and cry, get On your knees and beg 07. Seas Of Fire
Look out baby
Time to wake up Make up your bed Storm's a coming Got a fire that's right on your head Oh, get up, get up, get off your knees Get up, get up and rise The seas are on fire Oh, get up, get up get on your feet Get up, get up tonight Sky's on fire And the hills are all running red Babies crying there's a rider come for your head Say hello to the judgment seat Say good night, it's all right Say hello to a fiery sea The stars all fall down tonight Sky's on fire And the hills are running red Babies crying there's a rider come for your head 08. Godless Run
Lost on this road to be
Someone I would find Pride for the fall to be The heart becomes blind I rise my eyes to see A mirror that lied to me Find time's gone and made me be Afraid of the younger man I used to be I did not run to you Lost on my road of ruin I did not run to you In my Godless run Long had I gone to be A slave to my eyes Lost at that cross to kneel Amazing grace saved my life No, I cannot breath no more No, I cannot breath no more No, I cannot feel for sure No,no I cannot breath no more Oh how long Lord Did I kneel at the crossroads and run Oh, bow down now My king, my God I come Oh I will not run from you Lost on my road of ruin No I will not run from you In my Godless run No, no I will not run I'll not run, I will not run Oh no, no I will not run from you Oh no my Godless run 09. Promised Land
Dig it I left my home in Norfolk Virginia
California on my mind Straddled that Greyhound Rode him in the Raleigh on across Caroline We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle Half way across Alabam And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded In downtown Birmingham Raleigh bought me a through train ticket Ridin' cross Mississippi clean I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham Smokin' into New Orleans Somebody help me get out of Louisiana Just help me get to Houston town There are people there who care a little 'bout me And they won't let the poor boy down whoo Sure as you're born they bought me a silk suit Put a luggage in my hands And I woke up high over Albuquerque On a jet to the promised land Workin' on a t bone steak a la carte Flyin' over to the Golden State And the pilot told us in thirteen minutes He would send us to the terminal gate Ah swing low chariot come down easy Taxi to the terminal zone Cut your engines and cool your wings And let me make it to the telephone Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia Tidewater four ten o nine Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin' And the poor boy's on the line Workin' on a t bone steak a la carte Flyin' over to the Golden State And the pilot told us in thirteen minutes He would send us to the terminal gate Swing low chariot come down easy Taxi to the terminal zone Cut your engines and cool your wings And let me make it to the telephone Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia Tidewater four ten o nine Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin' And the poor boy's on the line whoo |
