Whiskey woman don't you know that you are drivin' me insane
The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my brain Don't you know you're driving me insane You're tryin' to find your way through life You're tryin' to get some new direction Another woman got her man She won't find no new connection Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through Takes another look around, you're not goin' anywhere You've realized you're gettin' old and no one seems to care You're tryin' to find your way again You're tryin' to find some new Another woman's got her man But she won't find a new Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through You 'bin foolin' with some hot guy I want to know why is it why Get up get out you know you really blew it I've had enough, I've had enough, good God pluck me Once she was wonderful Once she was fine Once she was beautiful Once she was mine...she was mine Now change has come over her body, she doesn't see me anymore Now change has come over her body, she doesn't see me anymore Changes, changes, changes, changes Victim of changes 02. The Ripper Music & lyrics by Glenn Tipton
You're in for surprise
You're in for a shock In London town streets When there's darkness and fog When you least expect me And you turn your back I'll attack I smile when I'm sneaking Through shadows by the wall I laugh when I'm creeping But you won't hear me at all All hear my warning Never turn your back On the ripper You'll soon shake with fear Never knowing if I'm near I'm sly and I'm shameless Nocturnal and nameless Except for "The Ripper" Or if you like "Jack The Knife" Any back alley street Is where we'll probably meet Underneath a gas lamp Where the air's cold and damp I'm a nasty surprise I'm a devil in disguise I'm a footstep at night I'm a scream of the fright All hear my warning Never turn your back On the ripper 03. Dreamer Deceiver Music & lyrics by Al Atkins, Rob Halford, K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
Standing by my window, breathing summer breeze
Saw a figure floating, 'neath the willow tree Asked us if we were happy, we said we didn't know Took us by the hands and up we go We followed the dreamer through the purple hazy clouds He could control our sense of time We thought we were lost but no matter how we tried Everyone was in peace of mind We felt the sensations drift inside our frames Finding complete contentment there And all the tensions that hurt us in the past Just seemed to vanish in thin air He said in the cosmos is a single sonic sound That is vibrating constantly And if we could grip and hold on to the note We would see our minds were free Oh they're free We are lost above Floating way up high If you think you can find a way You can surely try 04. Deceiver Music & lyrics by Rob Halford, K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
Solar winds are blowing
Neutron star controlling All is lost, doomed and tossed, at what cost forever Meteors fly around me Comets die, and then they And then they, you wanna see how they try to surround me I can say, here today, we shall stay forever If you want to find us in a hurry Oh let me tell you don't you worry I can't say, here today, we shall stay forever 05. Prelude Music by Glenn Tipton
[Instrumental]
06. Tyrant Music & lyrics by Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton
Behold 'tis I the commander
Whose grip controls you all Resist me not, surrender I'll no compassion call (Tyrant) Capture of humanity (Tyrant) Conqueror of all (Tyrant) Hideous destructor (Tyrant) Every man shall fall Your very lives are held within my fingers I snap them and you cower down in fear You spineless things who belly down to slither To the end of the world you follow to be near (Tyrant) Capture of humanity (Tyrant) Conqueror of all (Tyrant) Hideous destructor (Tyrant) Every man shall fall Mourn for us oppressed in fear Chained and shackled we are bound Freedom choked in dread we live Since Tyrant was enthroned I listen not to sympathy Whilst ruler of this land Withdraw your feeble aches and moans Or suffer smite from this my hand (Tyrant) Capture of humanity (Tyrant) Conqueror of all (Tyrant) Hideous destructor (Tyrant) Every man shall fall Mourn for us oppressed in fear Chained and shackled we are bound Freedom choked in dread we live Since Tyrant was enthroned My legions faithful unto death I'll summon to my court And as you perish each of you Shall scream as you are sought (Tyrant) Capture of humanity (Tyrant) Conqueror of all (Tyrant) Hideous destructor (Tyrant) Every man shall fall 07. Genocide Music & lyrics by Rob Halford, K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
Mercenary battalions
Are poised to strike us down Terminations conquest Upon us now full grown Save me, my heart's open wide Help me, no question of pride Save me, my people have died Total genocide Devastation hungers She waits to leap to earth Imminent liquidation Before the grand rebirth Save me, my heart's open wide Help me, no question of pride Save me, my people have died Total genocide Sin after sin I have endured Yet the wounds I bear are the wounds of love Frantic mindless zombies Grab at fleeting time Lost in cold perplexion Waiting for the sign Generations tremble Clinging face to face Helpless situation To end the perfect race Flashing senseless sabers Cut us to the ground Eager for the life blood Of all who can be found Save me, my heart's open wide Help me, no question of pride Save me, my people have died Total genocide Slice to the left, slice to the right None to retaliate, none will fight Chopping at the hearts, snuffing out the lives This race departs, no one will survive Heads to the feet, feet to the air Souls in the soil, heavy in despair End of all ends, body into dust To greet death friends, extinction is a must 08. Epitaph Music & lyrics by Glenn Tipton
The old man's sitting there, his head bowed down
Every now and then he'll take a look around And his eyes reflect the memory-pain of years gone by He can't regain nostalgic dreams he'll never see again With trembling hands, he wipes a tear Many fall like rain, there's one for every year And his life laid out so clearly now, life that's brought death So nearly now life once he clung to dearly lets go But spare a thought as you pass him by Take a closer look and you'll say He's our tomorrow, just as much as we are his yesterday A lonely grave, and soon forgot Only wind and leaves lament his mournful song Yet they shout his epitaph out clear For anyone who's passing near It names the person lying here as you And you 09. Island Of Domination Music & lyrics by Rob Halford, K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
Beware of their coming
Take heed our time is near Fatality relinguish not Brutality in arms doth seek to destroy. They smashed through the clouds into the light of the moon Their steeds were full charging, called destruction and doom 'Twas as if all hell had broke loose on this night And all in all it was a terrible sight Now we are taken unto the island of domination We gotta get, we gotta get, we gotta get out of this place There's a man with a needle who's pleading to get at my face Hide me and hold me control free as best as you can It's all becoming too much, I can't cope, for one man Now we are taken unto the island of domination Skyrider supersonic flyer Nightdriver demon of desire Spinesnapper tried your best to break us Throatchoker thought that you could take us The fright of your life, the fright of your life The fright of your life is here guaranteed This is no illusion confessing confusion you're freed Lashings of strappings with beatings competing to win Oh what a mess I am blessed, dominations set in Now we are taken unto the island of domination |
