Assassin, Assassin
They've come to take his life They wave the flag of Anarchy And chant "The King Must Die" The overthrow of authority, must start with his demise And so the witches all concede that we must close his eyes The King Is Dead, The King Is Dead Royal blood will flow like wine When the hands of death break free To grip at last the majestic soul of this our dying king We'll pay no homage to this man, his death means but one thing The prophecy has been fulfilled to let you people sing The King Is Dead, The King Is Dead We'll throw his head to the ground To show he wears no crown We'll stone them till they bleed To the wolves, them will feed All we need is a lock from his hair And then we'll soon be there The spell will then begin His life will surely end He'll not see you coming, all he'll see is the flash of the shimmering steel Rush of the pain, from the venomous sting Will surely force him to kneel The kiss of death upon his lips The cold embrace of doom The sudden attack of anxiety Will begin to end very soon 02. Bitter End
It's been fifty years behind us
But the war is still raging on There's a killer deep inside us Who yearns to see the dawn All our comrades who have perished They have met their destiny Now the bullets that we cherish Right now is all we need [Chorus:] We must fight for our right We must find what you call sanctuary It is kill or be killed Only death from above sets us free In the field of honor In a zone that has no time Where blood is thick as water To murder is not a crime One goal that we're headed for To claim our victory Attacks upon the land and shore Men die endlessly [Chorus] [Solo] The poison we have tasted Has blinded our minds The cities devastated It is he or I defined This boy is never coming back The gun is my best friend Trained to kill one in his tracks On the road to the bitter end [Chorus (x2)] 03. Abandon Ship
Stowaways, and so they walked the plank
We were searching for the given treasure Impatient hearts the dream seemed too far A raging sea causing fear and pressure Shipwrecked but only for awhile, we'll build again Sail through stormy wind and rain Hungry hearts holding on to faith The sea will calm, we'll conquer once again [Chorus:] Abandon ship, for those who dreamed to small Abandon ship in the sea of shame they fall Abandon ship again we sail alone Abandon ship their dreams become unknown Years have passed and so the story carries on The expedition, where answers may be unfound Sailing through horizons, we've never seen before Healing the wound, never looking homeward bound [Chorus] [Solo] A time ago, courageously they joined All as one, we shared that golden dream The course grew rough, their weakness took control The journey to success was not all it seemed Who has the will, who dares climb aboard Sail beyond, where there is no truth, there are no lies A destiny where time will tell The vision of our dreams is still gleaming in our eyes [Solo] [Chorus] 04. Tyrannicide
[Solo]
The silence is broken, by nightmarish dreams You have been chosen to finish the deed Our tyrant is falling, we must make a stand You have the calling to take his command Once he was strong, he conquered the weak Now he is gone, it is he who we seek He is in hiding, protecting his soul He's tired of fighting, so go for his throat And then cut out his heart, you'll take over his throne And from there you will start Fall of the tyrant. Death to the tyrant Kill the old tyrant. Tyrannicide Once you have found him, the task is half done You should surround him, so he cannot run Pull out your dagger and give him a slice Laugh as he staggers, yes laugh as he dies You will be bound to do unholy things You drink the nectar the blood of your queens Fall of the tyrant, death to the tyrant Kill the old tyrant. Tyrannicide A faceless leader you shall be Pitiless and cold, the epitome of tyranny The world you will control You will live to kill and they will live to die No one escapes the tyrants grasp Not them, nor you, nor I [Solo] Now your alone, decrepit and old You won't be dethroned, your the last living soul You destroyed all of those who once bowed at your feet Now the question you pose, who is left to defeat? Day after day, you pray for the end No one hears what you say, you're your only best friend You've past the point of insanity Now the world's your asylum But you won't be set free You'll wait for the end of time Then you'll be cast into the ominous silence of death 05. Scorcher
Far beyond the darkened sky, angels all riding high
Rising from the temple walls, time stands still when he calls King of kings, ruler of all man Come Claim your land Lightning strikes your path, you've heard of the day A distant thunder comes to take you away Chariots of horses fill the sky A voice like running waters, shouts the king am I [Chorus:] He's the scorcher in the sky Pain and torture burning high Scrolls unfold, disaster takes its course A sun of blood repells its scorching force Smoke of black closing in stops at nothing Tribute for seven years and the never ending sting [Chorus] Stars are falling, now your in despair Betrayed by those he died for his wrath you'll share Days seem like years, he warned someday You'd shed blood for tears [Chorus] He gave his hand, you turned your back Too late to bargain, the shadows who ran in fear [Solo] Lightening struck your path, you heard of the day A distant thunder came to take you away Chariots of horses fill the sky, a voice like running Waters shouted the king am I [Chorus] 06. Genius Of Insanity
The Fuhrer has a master race
The rest will have to go There's a sinister smile upon his face In his eyes an evil glow Death is written in the cards Six million soon to die They'll be tortured by the SS guards Don't bother asking why Arrested by the Gestapo And crammed into the trains They sent them off to ghettos It all seemed so deranged They look all possession And took away all pride, they filled up all the gas chambers And called it genocide The Abomination With all its Pestilent Dreams Will wallow in the darkness And relish your every scream Mass termination is the final solution They will start interrogations To suppress retaliations From the victims of the new society There is only mass confusion Behind the Fuhrer grand illusion There's no end to his monstrosity Everywhere there's trepidation Dare not speak against your nation Or death will be your fate Either join the grand regime Or step into the death machine Should you die or learn to hate [Solos] Aushwitz. Dachau Just another name for hell The Nazis run them all And have learned to do it well Systematic killing was their only way to go They tried to hoot them one by one But found that much too slow They threw the babies in the furnance And left the old ones out to die The ingenious lunatic Rules a kingdom that is blind 07. (The) Whore Of Babylon
[Instrumental]
08. Winds Of War
On a cold night, in the winter winds
I lift my head, and stare to the stars To find a path that will lead me out To a place that will heal the scar Of once a battle that raged long ago Through the atmosphere surface, we all would go Destroyer cruisers and our fighter ships We're on a mission of mercy declared by the script On our way to meet the Axis Powers Surprise attack! We all went down Destroyer cruisers, and our fighter ships Were wrecked to the ground There were dead all around, so I pledge I would die "An eye for an eye" so was it burned in my head "Vengeance is mine" you'll all be dead! I built on the trenches beyond anger and sweat My fighter repaired no need to dispair With its cruiser engines, and all its armor wear Off to destroy and kill my enemies For betrayed we were in the scriptures of peace Beyond the star of the rising sun [Solos] So ends the memory of once was to be No longer do I live to see Another time, some other place No need to face this disgrace As I believe to be the only one I should do in myself as they had planned So I write this log to anyone who finds Will know that just has been done! 09. He's A Woman, She's A Man
I saw it walkin' lonely down the street
Cool like a cat, like crazy clean I looked twice again, I can't believe Oh no no no It turned around right then And looked at me I said oh no, it really couldn't be It was a man, it was a woman, too He's a woman, she's a man He's a woman, she's a (woman) I think it really came from far away I'm feeling head uptight so I have to stay It takes my hand and says come on, let's go Let's go, let's go, let's go We're goin' home, it's nice and warm to say He starts to move, she starts to play I need a body, why not you He's a woman, she's a man He's a woman, she's a (woman) He's a woman, she's a man He's a woman, she's a (woman) |
