There's danger, charging the air tonight
A feeling of hopeless despair Oh my love it's not the first time I've felt the tremors of hate Jealousy is on the rise I can see the snake in your eyes The time has come for us to aim for the heart I'm begging you Don't say goodbye tonight love Don't say goodbye to my love Don't say goodbye I need you to stay Lost, gone in an instant An angry word, then the crash of the door Oh, it's too late you're lost to the nightwind The black sky cries out your name And it seems like it's happened before And it's bound to a thousand times more When will we ever learn, learn how to love? 02. Burn The Sun
Burning like a thousand suns
Light years flash before my eyes My hands on the trigger of a smoking gun Shatterer of worlds I have become! We'll burn the sun tonight Light up the skies and watch the flames We'll burn the sun tonight Light up the skies and watch the flames No more days no more nights, Cause we'll burn the sun Devastation is calling me Dare forces conspire against thee Who will sit on the vacant throne To govern a kingdom of burning bones 03. Life Of Crime
Lying and cheating
Taking all I can get Always wanting more It's time to even the score Winners and losers Always come and go As soon as I get it I gotta let it go I can hear you say I can hear you say! Ladies of the night Give me what you've got I ain't looking for love Just want some action! We're headed for a life of crime Keep running till the day we die We're headed for a life of crime But it's too late now We've already crossed the line! This nowhere train you're riding Is going nowhere fast You better watch your step Or you're gonna burn in hell! I can hear them say I can hear them say! We're headed for a life of crime Keep running till the day we die We're headed for a life of crime But it's too late now We've already crossed the line! 04. The Redeemer
All rise, face the light!
Fall to your knees, repent please, oh yeah Down from the mountains the elders came With a message for man Fire and brimstone will follow you all To the ends of the earth As sure as the stars shine down on you You must never look back Abandon all hop ye who enter here Spoke the man in black Lead us from temptation Help us find the way Show me the direction That leads to my salvation Inscribed in blood on the scroll of life Was the auracle's will Death and damnation will be your destiny Purgatory awaits A thousand curses I invoke on thee In the name of tonight A hellish fire will follow you all Better run for your life Redeemer save our souls Redeemer grant us peace Redeemer save our souls Redeemer save our souls We shouldn't have to fight Let's go all the way tonight I don't know what you've been told But you're never too young to rock and roll I don't know what tomorrow might bring So let me love and let me sing tonight So let's go all the way It's gonna be alright Let's go all the way Love me or say goodnight We shouldn't have to fight Let's go all the way tonight 06. Guardians Of The Flame
When the winds of ice are raging
And the sun departs for night There's a thousand eyes upon you But no one sees your plight Oh no mercy hath the darkness No love or heavens rain You can feel the sound of anguish Hear the cries of screaming pain We are the guardians of the flame Masters of the ancient rites Our duty was ordained To protect the realm of light If you cross the gates of wisdom Beware of the outer sign Here the wolves of war are feasting And on who knows what they dine! Oh if your courage doth forsake you Invoke thy masters name We come with swords of fire To banish the profane Oh, we are the ones who check the forces of evil Flames fly from our hands to engulf The bastard called sin War, rains through the skies Our wrath shakes the pillars of heaven, now The jackal is slain, fountains of blood drench the land Come light up the torch, we have returned victorious All's well in the world tonight Sweet dreams from the palace of light Sleep well, my children 07. Metal City
You better take time and listen to what I say
We're giving you fair warning cos we've got something to say Hand to hand, face to face We'll meet you on stage anytime, anyplace We want to take you to the time of your life We wanna show you all that we got Are you ready cos we're leaving tonight? Our destination is Metal City! We used to be nice but times got tough don't you know We paid some dues got burned a few, now we want action Blow by blow, axe by axe When we come to your town, you now we're gonna kick ass We want to take you to the time of your life We wanna show you all that we got Are you ready cos we're leaving tonight? Our destination is Metal City! 08. Hell Or High Water
I don't take no for answer
I'm not that kind of guy There's no point in running away I'm gonna get you anyhow I can't let you leave me Cos I've got too much pride You better believe me I'll never let you go Hell highwater Can't keep me away I said hell or highwater I'm gonna make you anyhow You've been running for too long Don't you think that it's time that you stop Chasing dreams that won't come true Is that what you're all about I can't let you leave me Cos I've got too much pride You better believe me I'll never let you go Cause Hell or highwater Can't keep me away I said hell or highwater I'm gonna make you anyhow 09. Go All The Way
What would you say if I told you that
I want your love and I just can't wait Would you think it's just a line If I tell you girl we ain't got much time So let's go all the way It's gonna be alright Let's go all the way Love or say goodnight Let's go all the way. 10. A Cry In The Night
A cry in the night I'm still hearing
No my love is gone I must be dreaming Lost in the mist of passions strange Wiping the tears I recall the pain Of love and laughter, joy now slain When your world turns cold won't you call my name Come on Cry out in the dark I'll be by your side to give you warmth And light and shield you from the night Hold on, hold on, we'll fan the flames of love Together again, just you and I I watched the faces in the fire No emotion was ever there If this is truth then who's the liar? Your eyes are blind, they don't love you You're just an amusement, thought of with disdain But I'm still waiting, won't you call my name You say your heart is open to loves Call and you can't refuse it's refrain But you don't hear the real sirens song Echoing it's refrain, my love still remains so. |
