From ancient times we came
Moving silently Killing for the game Oh, you will fear me Are you the hunter Are you the prey If you don't strike first it will be your last mistake There's nowhere you can run to Gotta move fast No one can hide I must find the last The last one alive Doesn't matter if they're friend or foe Love is not for you Too many times you've lost When they see me coming It's time to count the cost In the shadows Wherever I go In the shadow of the blade Out of the darkness Obey the call I am the hunter you're the prey. Beware the nightfall Sharpen your mind Prepare for battle Draw your blade one final time Your fate is drawing nearer Raging thunder Fulfils the game I am the hunter Ant tonight my prize I'll claim Tonight you sleep in hell They are gone now Their souls belong to me They are all gone I set them free In the shadows Wherever I go In the shadow of the blade Out of the darkness Obey the call I am the hunter you're the prey I'm on a headhunt! Headhunt! 03. Roadkill (?Or Be Killed)
Cloud of dust in the desert sands
Dogs of war at my command We are mobile brutality Propelled by our thunder machines In the roar of an engine You lost everything you knew Ant in a firestorm of fear You will burn as the dust now clears Your life no more worth to me Than a gallon of gasoline, you'll see Kill or be killed Lord of the Wasteland Kill or be killed King of the road Kill or be killed Maraud and disgrace Kill or be killed Stand true to the code of roadkill The scavengers soon will rule Waging war for a tank of fuel And as man will feed on man You may die by my hand Your life no more worth to me Than a gallon of gasoline, you'll see Kill or be killed Lord of the Wasteland Kill or be killed King of the road Kill or be killed Maraud and disgrace Kill or be killed Stand true to the code of roadkill Engines roaring Taste of sweat See me coming Face your death Cloud of dust in the desert sands Dogs of war at my command We are mobile brutality Propelled by our thunder machines Your life no more worth to me Than a gallon of gasoline, you'll see Kill or be killed Lord of the Wasteland Kill or be killed King of the road Kill or be killed Maraud and disgrace Kill or be killed Stand true to the code of roadkill Kill or be killed Highways of death Kill or be killed White line nightmares as set in Kill or be killed Maraud and disgrace Kill or be killed Stand true to the code of roadkill Kill or be killed! 04. Sentinel Hill
Say have you seen that place where fireflies in great profusion come out to dance as evening falls
Say have you heard the chattering whippoorwills cry out for you, son Or felt the strident bullfrogs call Far to the west across the stretch of marshland meadow where the road dips past the ancient bishop house Rises that mystic bulky hill no one would speak of where no answers come from asking why or how Though superstition it might be The elders know what they have seen And had you been there you would surely agree They say if you haven't Then you shouldn't go to Sentinel Hill Atop the hill inside the ring of massive granite pillars And round the ghoulish table rock Though often attributed falsely to the native Indians Where found remains of mongrel stock Back in the days before the trials and persecution Some say witches used to gather here at night At devil's hop yard where they held their executions Still the moss may seem to glow with eerie light Though superstition it might be The elders know what they have seen And had you been there you would surely agree They say if you haven't Then you shouldn't go past the boundaries of sanity Up the the slanting trail to Sentinel Hill Ancient wisdom passed down through the bloodlines They say if you haven't Oh, God knows you shouldn't go to Sentinel Hill They say if you haven't Then you shouldn't go to Sentinel Hill 05. The Illusion
I am the one inside your mind
A master of illusion in both space and time Throw me in chains and leave me to drown Still I'll break free and I will stand my ground These simple contraptions are no match for me I've been searching so long for a way to succeed Infernal visions of my rebirth From the man who shed light on the face of the earth An illusion Twisted confusion Only one thing on my mind an it drives me insane Untameable power Enter the hour The last chapter of my life will be written tonight No one shall stand in my way I have found the key to illusions you can not conceive I'm not bound, I'm further ahead then you'll ever believe Electrical madness, an infernal scream Unleashing the wrath of the monstrous machine Witness the power of my hellish device A stunning performance to the worlds eyes Memories of death they all reappear My heart it is pounding but I know no fear My last moments of sanity Wiped away by the power consuming what's me An illusion My execution Lightning burning inside my veins Electrical, thunder The worlds seventh wonder Lights out, I disappear and return I'm the man who's back from the dead! 06. The Nightwatcher
As night awakens and the day is put to sleep
By dancing shadows on the wall The moon is glowing and the darkness starts to creep I must obey the masters call Never ever may I see the light of day Never darkness I'll betray O hear my cry, master Let it be known to all I am the nightwatcher The black is soon to Do be my guide, master Let it be known to all I am the nightwatcher The black is soon to fall fall I am the keeper of the mysteries of night The quiet beauty of what's thine I am the watcher and if men could share my sights They too would worship thee as I do Never ever would the sun rise in the east Never none disturb the peace O hear my cry, master Let it be known to all I am the nightwatcher The black is soon to Do be my guide, master Let it be known to all I am the nightwatcher The black is soon to fall fall By the twelve strikes of the clock All the wonders of night are unlocked Never ever may I see the light of day Never darkness I'll betray O hear my cry, master Let it be known to all I am the nightwatcher The black is soon to Do be my guide, master Let it be known to all I am the nightwatcher The black is soon to fall fall 07. Under The Scavenger Sun
The journey goes on through this white hot sand
Trapped as I am in these merciless lands Salvation is miles and miles away If ever alive I will reach the day I can hear them, I can see them Circling high above I can hear them, I can see them As this cruel relentless sun burns A god with the power to breed or kill My life to be given or taken at will Yet others might thrive at my death it seems So eager to the tone of their hungry screams I can hear them, I can see them Circling high above I can hear them, I can see them As this cruel relentless sun burns This cruel, relentless scavenger sun burns At the toll of death's bells Come outcasts of hell To join in the feast of death They bid me farewell I can hear them, I can see them Circling high above I can hear them, I can see them As this cruel relentless sun burns This cruel, relentless scavenger sun burns Transcending at last This realm I've surpassed Now bound to prowl under the scavenger sun Now I am bound under the scavenger sun 08.

Clash Of The Two Tribes
Old man, tell us of the past before the wastelands: we must know at last
Legends, stories we have heard but you lived when the mighty fires scorched the world Son, I remember, The elder said; A time of chaos, a time of dread In the east awoke the sleeping bear Its roar of anger reached where eagles dare Ideologies uncompromised became the seeds of hatred and despise We would do anything lest all we knew be destroyed We would do anything we could to avoid the clash Diplomatic tension, coiled up as a spring If unleashed would surely bring us to the brink of destruction So what lay ahead; our survival on a razors edge Naturally assured destruction seemed at last the only way peace could be guaranteed We would do anything lest all we knew be destroyed We would do anything we could to avoid the clash Two sides of the world, alliances formed dividing the earth for the oncoming storm An arms race like never before provided the tools of the ultimate war No one knows who cast the first stone but surely the die had been thrown War waged at the highest of costs: all hope for the future was finally lost Elimination imminent all bridges burnt all chances spent Technology and wealth would cease for patriotic pride to please The cry of a billion souls as one The world as we knew it came undone |
