Raising the gavel, pleasing the King
These proceedings shall come to a close Guilty of treason, sins of the flesh Your crimes have all been disclosed Say what you will as your penalty's cast Down on your judgement today Let it be heard sentence is passed The ultimate price you will pay Sharpening to perfection, let justice be done Crowd pleasing dissection, your table's reserved This proclamation be served You'll be Hung Drawn and Quartered Punishment fitting the crimes Hung Drawn and Quartered Soon your last bell will chime Off to the four winds, your parts be displayed A warning for all to take heed And to your heirs a corruption of blood Seizing your assets and deeds So in conclusion my thanks to you all There's just one thing left to say "Ladies and gent|emen, court is adjourned Take him, be on your way" Sharpening to perfection, blind justice be done Crowd pleasing dissection, your table's reserved This proclamation be served You'll be Hung Drawn _and Quartered Punishment fitting the crimes Hung Drawn and Quartered Soon your last bell will chime Solo You'll be Hung Drawn and Quartered Punishment fitting the crimes Hung Drawn and Quartered Soon your last bell will chime You'll be Hung Drawn and Quartered This be your judgement today Hung Drawn and Quartered This is the price you will pay 02. Stalingrad
Out along the Volga
Minds set to kill Men standing ground with iron will Deathmatch approaching Evil in stride Never giving quarter to the other side Gunfire and bloodshed Shredding flesh and bone As young men die in the killing zone Through streets and factories Fighting hand to hand Be prepared to die for the Motherland So hungry, so cold But there can be no surrender For creed and pride, take hold Blood is the cry, we'll do or die For Stalingrad Stalingrad It's the battle of Stalingrad Two soldiers dying Battered and blind Enemies no more they've come to find Mission forgotten Now brothers in death They hold each other abreast to the final breath So hungry, so cold But there can be no surrender For creed and pride, take hold So hungry, so cold We're only following orders We gave our hearts and souls Brothers we fight, frozen in time In Stalingrad Stalingrad Frozen in time Stalingrad Yeah all brothers we fight The battle of Stalingrad... 03. Hellfire
Cursed, by the mind of evil
Fleeing from a torrent undreamed of Horror worse than your blackest nightmare Hiding from the antithesis of love Sirens, tearing up the darkness Blockbusters .....from the skies they pour Hot winds, blowing through the burning streets Firebombs giving way to crimes of war One thousand dragons in the sky Breathing flames from above Hellfire ....... burns across the land Hellfire ....... One giant column of flames, leaps from the furnace No one has a prayer Strafing runs and napalm bombs Blacken the air Black, is the color of vengeance The innocent die as the flames get higher and higher Buildings fall as the madness lingers Feeding fuel on a giant funeral pyre One thousand bombers in the sky - The inferno from above Hellfire ...... burns across the land Hellfire ....... One giant column of flames, leaps from the furnace No one has a prayer Strafing runs and napalm bombs Blacken the air Solo By the light of day, we see the ashes, the beauty that once was And in the end, there is no future less we learn from the past and the evil that men cause Hellfire ...... burns across the land Hellfire ...... spawned by the hands of man Hellfire ...... burning across the land Hellfire .......spawned by the hands of man 04. Flash To Bang Time
Counting the seconds I could see myself
and it shook me right out of my mind Staring right back at me, freezing the frame I felt like a hostage in time Caught somewhere between the spark and crash Oooooww...... It happened in a flash Streaks of light, rip the night Exploding in my mind The sound of spheres, splits my ears Caught in the Flash to Bang Time Way past the crosshairs of space and time I can see a dimension away A cosmic eruption of neon fog In an instant it starts to decay Just like a match turned to smoke and ash Oooooww...... It happened in a flash Streaks of light, rip the night Exploding in my mind The sound of spheres, splits my ears Caught in the Flash to Bang Time Floating on wreckage in black and white thru a negative reality Trapped in a mirror where day is night and I have to wake up from this dream Solo Streaks of light, rip the night Exploding in my mind The sound of spheres, split my ears Caught in the Flash to Bang Time It happened in a flash In the Flash to Bang Time 05. Shadow Soldiers
So cold and lonely it seems so long since someone was here
Following the shadows, with the sun till it disappears Thousands of stone white crosses, a formation for all to see With flags and flames, the ranks and the names of those who died to be free The fire remains in our hearts all of our dreams made new Etched in the flames of freedom, we're living on thru you We're the Shadow Soldiers, laid to rest standing tall Shadow Soldiers, in freedom you live That's why we've given it all Taken too soon from the lives we loved a misery I can not explain Only when we feel your presence are we sure we did not die in vein The fire remains in our hearts all of our dreams made new Etched in the flames of freedom, are these words, oh so true We're living on thru you We're the Shadow Soldiers, laid to rest standing tall Shadow Soldiers, in freedom you live That's why we've given it all Solo The fire remains in our hearts all of our dreams made new Etched in the flames of freedom, we're living on thru you We're the Shadow Soldiers, laid to rest standing tall Shadow Soldiers, in freedom you live That's why we've given it all Shallow Soldiers, laid to rest standing tall Shadow Soldiers, in freedom you live That's why we've given it all 06.

This is the fire, started so long ago
We've kept the flame and the smoldering embers below Deep in our hearts, our music defines our lives We carry it on, finding a way to survive So this is the way it must be ...... it's Us Against the World All inhibition set free ...... Us Against the World Into the fire we're hurled...... lt's Us Against the World Together we stand, thinking with just one mind Branded and pierced, fists in the air tonight Millions of lives, brought together by common ground A family entwined, one global nation profound So this is the way it must be ...... it's Us Against the World All inhibition set free ...... Us Against the World Into the fire we're hurled ...... lt's us Us Against the World Solo So this is the way it must be ...... it's Us Against the World All inhibition set free ...... Us Against the World And so our flag is unfurled ...... It's us Us Against the World Against the World 08. Twist Of Fate
Everybody's got a line that they walk on
Somewhere between heaven and hell A blank slate that the world gets to write on Pick up the chalk and get out of your shell Now and then, you know you got to ramble Get out, out of your comfort zone Sometimes ......you have to take a gamble You might do better with the devil you know There's a man sized hole in the ocean Just a waiting there to suck you in So before you go raising a commotion Think twice about where you swim So be careful what you wish for You might get it, and then it's too late The future's knocking at the front door Beware now the Twist of Fate Too late .........make no mistake Beware now the Twist of Fate Too late ......... what lies in wait Out beyond the gates....... Sometimes you put your hand in the fire Take a chance and you don't get burned Other times you get tripped by a wire They watch you dance, it's a lesson learned So be careful what you wish for You just might get it, and then it's too late The future's knocking at your front door Beware now the Twist of Fate Too late .........make no mistake Beware now the Twist of Fate Too late .........what lies in wait Could be a Twist of Fate ........ Solo Too late .........make no mistake Beware now the Twist of Fate Too late .........make no mistake Beware now the Twist of Fate Too late ........ what lies in wait It's a Twist of Fate ........ 09. The Quick And The Dead
A hand is winding the clock in your head
Tensions rise, push the needle to red Pick up the tempo, it's getting late You've got that inner need ...... accelerate What now lies in between the hunter and the prey Set sail, apart from the rest, let nothing get in your way Speed and power, take command You've got the world in your hand Pull the trigger, move out ahead There's two kinds of people....The Quick and the Dead Cut loose the horses, right to the chase Got to adrenalize, win this human race Driving momentum, you take the lead Gaining intensity, strive to succeed What now lies in between the hunter and the prey Set sail, apart from the rest, nothing will get in your way Speed and power, take command You've got the world in your hand Pull the trigger, move out ahead There's two kinds of people....The Quick and the Dead Solo What now lies in between the hunter and the prey Set sail, apart from the rest, nothing will get in your way Speed and power, take command You've got the world in your hand Pull the trigger, move out ahead There's two kinds of people.... The Quick and the Dead Speed and power, take command You've got the world in the palm of your hand Pull the trigger, move out ahead There's two kinds of people.... The Quick and the Dead 11. The Galley
Pulling the weight up against the wind
is the plight of the galley slave Chained to this cold bench, six to the oar Sentenced to an early grave With iron in our souls and fire in our wrists Slicing the waves and the sea Rotting below, they'll not let us go Only mutiny or death set us free Arms grow numb and the blood doth drip to the beat of the drum, from the crack of the whip We're damned, to the Galley We're chained, to the Galley of pain We're damned, to the Galley We're slaves, chained to the Galley of pain Narration: "The salt made the oar handles like shark skin and our lips we're cut to the gums and you whipped us because: we could not row" "Will you never let us go?" Splintered and split, the hands of the doomed endlessly toil by the hour Bodies broken, shackled with hatred as the soul grows sour Off in the distance, the cry of the gulls and the smell of approaching land With our last ounce of strength, we pull to the shore and dream to escape if we can But Sirens attack, with their songs of love Mermaids surround us as off we shove Our arms still numb and the blood still drips to the beat of the drum, from the crack of the whip Damned, to the Galley We're chained, to the Galley of pain Damned, to the Galley We're slaves, chained to the Galley of pain We're rotting in the Galley hole Solo Damned, to the Galley We're chained, to the Galley of pain We're damned, to the Galley We're slaves, chained to the Galley of pain Only death can set us free |
