01. Venom - 7 Gates Of Hell

In a dream or a nightmare
When love gives way to hate
The quest begins
For the keys to the seven gates
Ride the wings of a locust
See the wizard cast his spell
Search the keys to
The seven gates of hell

In Heavens Hell
Where all evil dwells
A man and beast are one
Concealed to all
Revealed to none
Lie those infernal gates
Those damned infernal gates

The seven gates of Hell

Hear the cry of the zombie
Raid the body of its soul
The quest for the sacred keys
Has become its goal
Steal the wings of a hydra
Take the sword from the sacred shrine
The strength of the beast
Take the sinners mind

Unveiled in death to the sinner
Written in the ancient book of lies
Hear the demons call
From the crimson waterfall
As the blood rains from the skies

When reality's a dream
And every lie is true
In the day when you are me
And the night when I am you
When the flame of life grows cold
We chime the silent bell
And the unborn child is old
The seven gates of hell

Going through the gates of Hell

Oh, in Heavens Hell
So many did in vain
They never lived, their tales to tell
None shall find the keys
To set their spirits free
From the seven gates of Hell
The seven gates
The seven gates
The seven gates?

The seven gates of Hell

I hear the creatures crawling
Oh let me out of here
Don't keep me locked away like this
Ohh? nooo?..

02. Warfare - Burning Up

Burning up! My heart is like burnin up!
Burning up! My heart is like burnin up!
Burning up! My heart is like burnin up!
Burning up! My heart is like burnin up!

Sometimes you can be in love and having fun
And still not know what's goin on
Or on the other hand you separate, thinking that the feelin's gone
Feels like forever when we're together
I knew that we are destinied
So here's the last chance for the last dance
For us to bring back the dream

So baby come and rescue me
I'm burnin up!
I got some fire for you to see
I'm burnin up!
Baby come and take me there
I'm burnin up!
Trust me you should
Hurry up!
Baby I'm just burnin up!
I'm burnin up!

In the midnite
Wait a minute
I can be in a lonely place
Then along you come with the sweetest thing to say
And put the sun in my day

So baby come and rescue me
I'm burnin up!
I got some fire for you to see
I'm burnin up!
Baby come and take me there
I'm burnin up!
Trust me you should
Hurry up!
Baby I'm just burnin up!
I'm burnin up!

So baby come and rescue me
I'm burnin up!
I got some fire for you to see
I'm burnin up!
Baby come and take me there
I'm burnin up!
Trust me you should
Hurry up!
Baby I'm just burnin up!
I'm burnin up!

Burning up! My heart is like burnin up!
Burning up! My heart is like burnin up!
Burning up! My heart is like burnin up!
Burning up! My heart is like burnin up!

03. Saracen - We Have Arrived

Every day and every night
We traveled on towards the light
Through the realm of time and space
Until we came, to this hell of a place

We have arrived
From light years away
Are you surprised
That we look the same as you

No more lies
No more doubt
At last we hear
The news is out
Don't be afraid
Hey, we feel what you feel
And soon you'll know
What you're seeing is real

We have arrived
Like a voice on the wind
We are alive
There's blood flowing in our veins

Legends tell of a world
That our distant fathers knew
And though we look from afar
There's a light that shines on you
So we searched into the past
For the place behind the mask
Now the future's come to past

We have arrived
And so we have seen
Destiny rides
On the wings of a dream
We have arrived
Like a voice on the wind
We are alive
There's blood flowing in our veins

We have arrived (we have arrived)
We have arrived (we have arrived)
We have arrived (we have arrived)
From light years away
Are you surprised
That we look the same as you

04. Avenger - Under The Hammer

Look out they're out to break you
No chance! is what they'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
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

Beware! We're out to crush you
We'll win you are under the blade
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

05. Venom - Bursting Out

I'm a son of a bitch ready to stitch
You mothers not ready to rock
I've shed all my tears & ain't got no fears
& the key to my heart bears no lock

Hell has granted me three wishes
Life - Death - Immortality
I will ride the wings of darkness
Fuck your blessed trinity

Coz I'm bursting - I'm bursting out
Coz I'm bursting - I'm bursting out

I'm a bastard & brave I'm nobody's slave
I'm telling you once and for all
Breaking the laws coz I know the score
Waiting on nobodies call

Hell has granted me three wishes
Life - Death - Immortality
I will ride the wings of darkness
Fuck your blessed trinity

Coz I'm bursting - I'm bursting out
Coz I'm bursting - I'm bursting out

Let's burst right out of here
"Let's go"

06. Warfare - Metal Anarchy

Won't see us running
'Cos that's their fate
We'll shoot to kill them
We're not too late
Destroy with volume
And drink too much
Won't let them tell us
They've met their match

You see us coming
Then run like hell
With sheer volume
We'll shoot to kill

This is Metal Anarchy

Pure filth was just the start
Won't grind us down
You boring fart
We'll stand together
And we'll stand strong
Destroy their vision
Before too long

07. Venom - Witching Hour

Come hear the moon is calling,
The witching hour draws near,
Come hear the bell is tolling,
Mortals run in fear,
Prepare the altar now and hear the virgin cry,
Hold fast the sacrifice,
For now it's the time to die,
All hell breaks loose,
Hell's breaking loose.

Unveil the pentagram,
And feel the demons lust,
Come watch the holy men,
Who look on in disgust,
Come taste blood,
And feel the heat of Satan's breath,
Look in the skies and see,
The warriors of death,
All hell breaks loose,
Hell's breaking loose,
Witching hour.

Our work is now complete,
The blood runs fast and free,
And Satan takes his bride,
And cries of blasphemy,
All hell rejoices at the child,
That she will bear,
And Satan's only son,
Shall be the world's despair
All hell breaks loose,
Hell's breaking loose,
Witching hour.

10. Avenger - Revenge Attack

Sirens wailing as they fly through the sky
Take the warning hail the airaid's 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
Annihilation's 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
Annihilation's 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 your back's against the wall
Oh end is nearing
Oh feel the pain
Oh life is ending
Fall in deaths dark vale

11. Venom - Manitou

Across infernal wastelands
Many smiles of sunburnt Hell
Tribes are scattered limbs
And dust all laying as they fell
Open lies the challenge to all
Warriors now men
Let the spirits guide the winds
Until Manitou ascends

Manitou
Manitou
Manitou
Manitou

Watch the unseen burial
Eclipse the blazing skies
Feast the wings of death
With Manitou the soul shall vie
Distant beats the wardance
Echo screams out liberty
Patience stalks the crow
White man's scalp brings victory

Manitou
Manitou
Manitou
Manitou

Mighty be the powers
Of the old medicine man
Whispers of his raindance
Flow across the desert sands
Guardian of the elder spirit
Summoning the storm
Awaiting his arrival
Manitou of flesh is born

Manitou
Manitou
Manitou
Manitou

13. Avenger - Run For Your Life

Run For Your Life
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

14. Venom - Nightmare

By the shores of the ageing sea
Fools scream out destiny
They speak of vengeance and your gods
Into the fire - out of the flame
The beast awakes - thousands are slain
The mystic reads - forgotten tales
All hallows hail - your falling waves

Nightmare - this is your prize eternal
Nightmare - make no disguise infernal
Nightmare - you'll realize you lost in
Nightmare - Nightmare

Inside explodes - the butcher strikes
You'd love to die - your baby cries
Lead candles burn - just a decoy
The giant child - you're his new toy

In the eyes of the lion's teeth
Your flesh becomes his meat
You lie devoured still full of life
Temples of ice - white desert breeze
The golden sun - prepares to freeze
Dying of thirst - drowing in pain
You wake in sleep - it starts again

Nightmare
Nightmare
Nightmare
