Mankind is at war our futures ill-fated
Our world is a hell in which we have created
The war machine moves in our nightmares realising
Shrapnel is flying the death toll is rising
Gunfire and bomb-blasts roar into the night
Forced into hiding for tomorrows first light
Bloodstains and tears met by world leaders fears
the cries of our children falling on deaf ears

The armies march out, they're certain to die
Like lambs to the slaughter, nobody knows why
This is our future

Trial by fire the apocalypse rules
Our trust is neglected by gun-happy fools
Trial by fire, the end is in sight
The leaders preach on, we continue to fight

Legions of soldiers and tanks block the roads
While bombers above are discharging their payloads
Napalm is screaming the fires rage up high
Ten thousand more men are still destined to die
Deaths grip will tighten as tension now heightens
World powers clashing like mythical titans
The irony is that we're fighting for peace
Attacked from the north, south, the west and the east

The countdowns begun, the warhead is armed
Public hysteria can no longer be calmed
launch the polaris

Nuclear holocaust - the only way forward,
Its kills and lays waste to all in its path
A poison silence is all that remains
As we begin to see now our insanity's wrath
Politicians debate over whos wrong and whos right
Inventing more reasons to continue this fight
The armies wont rest till we're all blown to dust
They're brainwashed by mankind's blood-lust

Trial by fire Armageddon is here
Our trust still abused by creators of fear
Trial by fire our future will tell
The leaders preach on as we all burn in hell

Welcome to the dawn of the age of steel
Cold metal glows in the rising sun
We stand in line on blood-stained plains
Waiting for orders to charge once again

See our foes they fall
Hear the battle cry
Swing the sword of death
Guide us too triumph once again

The sun is high, our time has come
The time has come to strike
As fire rains down from the archers bow
Death, will strike down our foes

See our foes they fall
hear the battle cry
Swing the sword of death
Guide us too triumph once again

See our foes they fall
hear the battle cry
Swing the sword of death
Guide us too triumph once again

See the heroes fall
For what they once believed
A cause we're dying for
Valhalla here we come

Lying alone at night, tired and broken
Resounding through my head - echoes of the words last spoken
Tears of the wake haunt the darkest corners of my soul
As your shadow stepped into the storm, with one last look behind

Sometimes i hear your voice on the harsh sea wind
Punished for a crime though i have not sinned
What is this feeling of guilt - so desolate and bold
As your whispers bring chills turning my skin so cold

Turning our ships into the wind trying to get back to you
(Broken) Your love has left me broken
(Now you're gone) your love has left me broken

And I still hear your voice on the harsh sea wind
Still punished for a crime though i have not sinned
What is this feeling of guilt - so desolate and bold
As your whispers bring chills turning my skin so cold

We fought the mighty oceans wrath but still we sank in vain

(Broken) your love has left me broken
(Now you're gone) your love has left me broken

Hear the thunder tearing down the street adrenaline in my veins
A hundered and twenty, im moving fast and i dont care where im heading too
V8 power underneath my feet, the freeway becomes my domain
Better move aside because im coming through and i aint gonna stop for you

Yeah, Im on the road again
Moving (moving) up a gear
and it feels so good (yeah)

she's my four fourty
she's my four fourty

My foot is to the floor and the nitro's on full with no sign of stopping soon
A hundred and thirty - still going on strong and it feels so good to be free
With 8 litres of earth shaking power theres no-one left who can stop me
Cos there aint no substitute for cubic inches, 8 cylinders roar in tune

Yeah, I'm pushing harder
Pedal (pedal) to the metal
And i aint gonna stop (no)

King of the road in my four fourty
High octane reigns, this world is my own
King of the road in my crown of chrome
Stay outta way cos the road is my throne

she's my four fourty
she's my four fourty
