01. Revenge Attack

Music by Mick Moore, Gary Young
Lyrics by Ian Davison Swift
Sirens wailing as they fly through the sky
Take the warning hail the airaids begun
Run for cover is the order of the day
Engines screaming as they burst through the clouds
Alert all stations it's a bomber attack
Show no mercy for the people they are slaying
Oh can't you see them
Oh flying high
Oh children screaming
Run for your lives

I am the power
I am the fire
I am destruction my desire
Annihilations stuck on you
You'll never take it that's for sure
I am the richer you are the poor
Your bluff is called and this is war

Hit the Searchlights let them light up the sky
Scan the airways for a bomber attack
Blow their cover as they scatter from formation
Find their targets get them into your sights
Rapid fire until you've gettin a kill
Show no mercy for the killers you are slaying
Oh see them falling
Out of the sky
Oh watch them burning

I am the power
I am the fire
I am destruction my desire
Annihilations stuck on you
You'll never take it that's for sure
I am the richer you are the poor
Your bluff is called and this is war

City's blazing panics racing around
Dying bodies see the carnage of war
End is nearing it's a hopeless situation
Close your eyes to the illusion of death
There's no way that you're gonna survive
No use trying when you're back's against the wall
Oh end is nearing
Oh feel the pain
Oh life is ending
Fall in deaths dark vale

02. Run For Your Life

Music by Ian Davison Swift, Greg Reiter
Lyrics by Ian Davison Swift
Clock strikes 12 it's the time of the night
Time I wake, I raise from my lair
Through darkened mist scan the streets I wander
In search of life, in search of a kill
I've gotta feed, I've got to survive
It must be soon, gotta be fast - they won't survive

Look out something's comin' right now
Hearing footsteps in the dead of the night
Must be near, it's comin' straight towards me
Shall I strike or shall I wait more
Surprise attack is the name of the game
There's no escape, there's nowhere to hide - you're gonna die

There's nowhere you can hide
Out in the night
You've made your last mistake
Run for your lives
You'll have to pay the price
You're gonna die now
There's nowhere you can hide
Out in the night

The victim's there in the glare of the light
A viscious scream, the thrill of the kill
The warmth of life, the thirst for blood I hunger
She had no choice, she hadn't a chance
I was so fast, there wasn't much time
Never mind I'll have her life - I'll drink her blood

There's nowhere you can hide
Out in the night
You've made your last mistake
Run for your lives
You'll have to pay the price
You're gonna die now
There's nowhere you can hide
Out in the night

03. Brand Of Torture

Music by Ian Davison Swift, Greg Reiter
Lyrics by Ian Davison Swift
It's my brand of torture
Welcome to my game
I won't think twice 'bout taking you life
So be prepared for some action tonight

Torture games tonight
Furnace burning bright
Stretched out on the rack
No use fighting back

Smell of molten metal
The stench of burning flesh
Close your eyes to the illusion of death
Your helpers screaming won't be heard out tonight

Torture games tonight
Furnace burning bright
Stretched out on the rack
No use fighting back

Smell of molten metal
The stench of burning flesh
Close your eyes to the illusion of death
Your helpers screaming won't be heard out tonight

Torture games tonight
Furnace burning bright
Stretched out on the rack
No use fighting back

No use fighting back

Die!!

04. Steel On Steel

Music by Ian Davison Swift, Greg Reiter
Lyrics by Ian Davison Swift
Viking raiders stormin' off - off from the shore
As they travelled from home to plunder afar
Searchin' for any village they find to rape and pillage for Thor
There's no mercy for the people they find
There's only the glimmer of steel

Beware the Men of Midgod
Beware the sails of death
Strike terror to the heart
When they arrive the weak will have fled

For many years you have always been poor
Through people who plundered your land
Now it's time for you all to stand up to make your defence and plans
Kill them all with the contempt, the contempt they deserve
Show no mercy stand up and fight show them the glimmer of steel

Beware the Men of Midgod
Beware the sails of death
Strike terror to the heart
When they arrive the weak will have fled

Now the conflict's over it's time to mourn the dead
In the wake of victory startin' to build again
With a hope for the future, of peace and prosperity
Never forget
Don't forget the glimmer of steel

Beware the Men of Midgod
Beware the sails of death
Strike terror to the heart
When they arrive the weak will have fled

05. (Fight For The) Right To Rock

Music by Ian Davison Swift, Mick Moore
Lyrics by Ian Davison Swift
Would you stand up and fight for the working right
Of the people who have nothing NO!!
Would you give consent to a Government
To tell you what to do NO!!
We'll fight for what we want, metal against foe
We'll fight for what we want, what are we gonna do?

Would you give your say to the power play
Stand on the side of order NO!!
Will you stand on the side when the powers divide
Do you wanna live forever NO!!
We'll fight for what we want, metal against the foe
We'll fight for what we want, what we gonna do?

Fight for the right to rock
Fight for the right to rock
Fight for the right to rock
Fight for the right to rock

Would you follow the way the churchmen say
Do you wanna go to heaven NO!!
Would you give your rights to the anti-christ
Sell your soul for nothing NO!!
We'll fight for what we want, metal against the foe
We'll fight for what we want, what we gonna do?

Fight for the right to rock
Fight for the right to rock
Fight for the right to rock
Fight for the right to rock

Together we fight for the right - the right to rock
Together we fight for the right - the right to rock
Fight for the right - the right to rock

06. Hard Times

Music by Ian Davison Swift, Greg Reiter
Lyrics by Ian Davison Swift
Hey you! what d'you think you're playin'
Been messin' me around you know for far too long
I'm sick and tired of the games you're playin'
I think it's time you quit before your time has gone

Oh times can be hard
Nothin' can be found
In your place of destiny

You lied, you've never done things straight now
You've always been a drag but now there's nothing gained
You're bad, there's nothin' you can do now
I'm gonna wipe you out I'm gonna make you pay

Oh times can be hard
Nothin' can be found
In your place of destiny

You lied, you've never done things straight now
You've always been a drag but now there's nothing gained
You're bad, there's nothin' you can do now
I'm gonna wipe you out I'm gonna make you pay

Oh times can be hard
Nothin' can be found
In your place of destiny

Music by Ian Davison Swift, Mick Moore
Lyrics by Ian Davison Swift
Look out they're out to break you
No chance! is what the're trying to say
I can see the fury as they put us down
Time will come and they'll be brought down!

Under the hammer

Breakdown! is out of the question
No way! we are gonna survive
Got to find a way to break this hype machine
Bite the hand that feeds them bring them!

Under the hammer
Under the hammer

Fortunes change and you'll be
On the losing side
Revenge is sweet and you'll be brought down!

Under the hammer
Under the hammer

Are you ready for the action?

09. Dangerous Games

Music by Ian Davison Swift, Greg Reiter
Lyrics by Ian Davison Swift
I'm the fighter, they're calling out to me
I'm the defender, the one to set you free

They'll never take me alive
Tonight's the game of danger
I'm standing here alone
I'm the defender

I am fear, behind you in the night
I am the danger, I'm never quite in sight
I am the darkside, the one you'll never see
I'm pure & evil, call out to me

They'll never take me alive
Tonight's the game of danger
I'm standing here all alone

I am fear, behind you in the night
I am the danger, I'm never quite in sight
I am the darkside, the one you'll never see
I'm pure & evil, call out to me

10. Yesterday's Heroes

Music by Ian Davison Swift, Greg Reiter
Lyrics by Ian Davison Swift
Time waits, time waits for no man
Move on, or be left behind
In the darkness of yesterday's yesterdays
Are many heroes who fall from the lines

Yesterdays Heroes
Giants of the past
They thought the shaped the future
Visions of plenty
The golden way
All just dreams of yesterday

Time waits, time waits for nothing
Yesterdays wonders
Are dust through my hands
Any moment could hold a disaster
One day a city
Tomorrow only ruins stands

Yesterdays Heoroes
Giants of the past
They thought they shaped the future
Visions of plenty
The golden way
Dreams of yesterday

Time waits, time waits for no one
Take each chance, with both hands
In every second there starts a new future
Don't be ruled by circumstance

Yesterdays Heoroes
Giants of the past
They thought they shaped the future
Visions of plenty
The golden way
All just dreams of yesterday

12. Sawmill

Music by Ian Davison Swift, Greg Reiter
Lyrics by Ian Davison Swift
She was daddy's little rich bitch
Showing off what she had
She was leadin' me on
She was drivin' me mad
Well she's got me in a sweat
That dirty whore she's got me wet
What now have I got to do?

Then it came that day
In a vision so clear
Of her bloody death
I would show no fear
The time has come tonight
For me to reinstate my rights
And I knew what I was gonna do

I took her down to the SAWMILL
down to the SAWMILL

I was front page news
In the paper next day
A killer Elite who's gonna pay?
It wouldn't be too long
Till they took me away
But I'll never regret
What I did that day

I took her down to the SAWMILL
down to the SAWMILL

They took me away, shone a light in my face
And questioned me on some dates & times
With a smile on my face
I told them of the steel saw terror

They said -

Make the punishment fit the crime
Make the punishment fit the crime
Make the punishment fit the crime
Make the punishment fit the crime
