Licensed to kill
On my 650 Bonneville "Hellfire" we yell Fueled and indestructible Get it down To take the crown Neon daze Renegades No fear just hate Drives us to the ultimate Cut loose extremes On our maniac machines Take me down Or hit the ground Neon nights At the speed of light So you motherfuckers want to race You've all got loser tattooed on your face Machine Man's running you wanna try Machine Man's coming you're gonna die Ignite the engines You can hear it scream You're gonna eat your words That challenged this machine The beast is revved up The flag is down The tyres screech And lay a smoke screen all around Through the limits As they rocket past It's a blood bath There's no second place Machine Man's running you wanna try Machine Man's coming you're gonna die Machine Man Machine Man's coming Machine Man Machine Man's coming Ice nerves of steel As I notch another kill You lose I win I get to ride again Get it down Hit the ground Neon nights Speed of light Feel no mercy as I cross the line Watch the suckers self destruct behind Machine Man's running You wanna try Machine Man's coming You're gonna die Machine Man's running you wanna try Machine Man's coming you're gonna die Machine Man Machine Man's coming Machine Man Machine Man's coming 02. One On One Music & lyrics by K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
I am your darkest hour
I am your fall from power I am the voice you dread and I'm Screaming out inside your head I am the final count I am your demons out I am the worst demise I'm gonna cut your big words down to size What is this? I hear you shout Face to face I'm gonna take you out One on one, bring it on One on one, take me on I am the awful truth I am the fearless youth I am the cross to bear And the one who dares to return your stare I am the fist of God I am the underdog I'll always stand my ground While the others scatter all around Against all odds Daespite it all I'm at my best when I'm against the wall One on one, bring it on One on one, take me on I am the bloodstained past at last That's finally caught up with you like The glint of steel from out of the dark the last Thing you will feel - I'm outgunned, I'm out Run, I'm undead and then I found the skin You shed I am the questions asked That send the shivers down your back So I am holding out And I'm much stronger now So take me on One on one, bring it on One on one, take me on I am the darkest night I am the viper's strike I'll see you all consumed As you start to lick your mortal wounds Like the condemned man Who just won't die I'll show no remorse I'll never walk away One on one, bring it on One on one, take me on 03. Hell Is Home Music & lyrics by K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
You're looking at me why
Sort of like a leper vibe Okay for your kind But it's too good for me And a hey I know I'm Never gonna qualify For all the bullshit Of your social degrees Oh look down your noses at me Hating my identity Oh but that don't mean a damn thing you see 'Cause down here in Hell everybody loves me Hey I know I'm anti-social 'Cause you act like I'm infected With some atrocity And though I know I'm Every bit the same inside My face don't fit It's like I've got some disease Oh you keep your face turned away To strip me of identity Oh still got my fortune and fame 'Cause down here in Hell everyone knows my name Hell is home to me Might as well be I like it here and nowhere else invited me Hell is home to me It has to be ('cause Jesus Christ) Nobody else invited me Now I belong I found my home 'Cause even though I know things won't Get any better, they can certainly never get much worse Hell is home to me Might as well be I like it here and nowhere else invited me Hell is home to me It has to be ('cause Jesus Christ) Nobody else invited me Say my whole life I've always been disliked Ignored unless you're spitting insults at me And I don't know why you felt so justified In all the degradation that you dished on me Oh! Now my status has changed And you've got yourself to blame Oh! I'll grab all the attention I crave Now I'm running Hell - Heaven won't be the same Hell is home to me Might as well be I like it here and nowhere else invited me Hell is home to me It has to be ('cause Jesus Christ) Nobody else invited me 04. Jekyll And Hyde Music & lyrics by Glenn Tipton
Your innocence all but fades
When we peel the veneer away It's all an act which you stage With your two faced barricades Rage consumes You every night Caged inside you Trying to get out Schizophrenic basic needs Fools me into complacency But now I see through your facade Behind the mask a monster snarls Hatred burning In your chest Dazed but learning In your quest Oh it's killing me your unpredictability Oh all the time You hide behind Your Jekyll and Hyde Now I realize There's a dark side Disguised Always changing Then love hating Baiting me Your innocence all but fades When we peel the veneer away It's all an act which you stage With your two faced barricades Rage consumes you every night Caged inside you trying to get out Oh it's killing me your unpredictability Oh all the time You hide behind Your Jekyll and Hyde 05. Close To You Music & lyrics by K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
So many years that we were one
So many things we've done The memories alive But most of me has died As I struggle with events I'm offered words of strength They do not comprehend The passion we possessed People tell me what to do Tell me how I should get through But they haven't got a clue No one else comes close to you I see your eyes before they closed They looked right inside my soul And they asked me not to grieve I tried but still I bleed I wake up, I break up Try hard to shake off The desolation as it grows As nothing else comes close And as I stand here by the grave And the wind calls out your name I know that time could never heal The emptiness I feel People try to give me hope Tell me how I should let go But they'll never really know 'Cause there's nothing else comes close People tell me what to do Tell me how I should get through But they haven't got a clue No one else comes close to you 06. Devil Digger Music & lyrics by Glenn Tipton
I was cross wired underground
Nothing seemed to fit I was fried and memory bound Then it came to me Devil digger Unforgiver I was on a different plane He said come to me Laid his hands upon my brow That's the last of me Devil digger Unbeliever Don't be sorry It's no disgrace But never worry (unless) You have no faith See him coming He has no face You must stop running You must have faith Death's not final so were told Words are so profound Who the hell wants to get old But ask in the final hours Devil digger unbeliever Devil digger unforgiver See him coming He has no face You must stop running You must have faith I don't want to fade away I don't want to fade away I don't want to fade away I don't want to fade away. 07. Bloodsuckers Music & lyrics by K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
Don't speak to me of morality
Justice wrong or right You dig up the dirt ignore the hurt And spit out all your lies Conscience free as we bleed Hypocrisy born from greed Don't preach to me of integrity Or your legal highs The judge's thrilled He's dressed to kill On TV every night Subliminal so absurd It's criminal yet can't be heard Bloodsuckers how can they sleep at night Bloodsuckers nothing but parasites You will be on the stand today They cannot harm you it's okay But they will destroy your family And drag you through hell and tragedy A circus heading into town Complete with cameras and the clowns The First Amendment shot to bits The world is watching just for kicks As the day drew close to hand For all to view the faceless man He put out the lights - it's sad Now who's to blame for that? Intimidate twist what you say With their fine points of law They lose the case but pontificate And then appeal some more Subliminal it's so absurd It's criminal but can't be heard Bloodsuckers how can they sleep at night Bloodsuckers nothing but parasites Bloodsuckers how can they sleep at night Bloodsuckers nothing but parasites I swear to tell the truth The whole truth And nothing but the truth So help me God! You will be on the stand today They cannot harm you it's okay They will destroy your family And drag you through hell and tragedy Bloodsuckers parasites 08. In Between Music & lyrics by Glenn Tipton
I am love, I am hate
I'm an atheist with faith Vent my anger with a smile I'm polite or obscene Either whisper or I scream I'm not quite what I seem I'm somewhere in between I am young in my old age I am calm or in a rage I'm your friend or enemy A pacifist or at war I am rich but I am poor I'm all extremes I'm nowhere in between Wide awake Or in a dream Nowhere in between Like the pulse of a machine I'm driven to extremes I feel the turmoil boil in me I'm neither healthy nor diseased I am all extremes But I'm still in between Say right or say wrong Outcast yet I belong I'm high or I'm dry Say I am weak yet I am strong In between In between I am my alter ego I am subconsciously In depth but also shallow Or somewhere in between Oh I know I am Always first in line or last I swim with sharks or drown with rats I'll defend as I attack My world and yours are not the same I am in a different lane I am not where I seem But I'm somewhere in between I seek revenge As I forgive I die to live ah Not afraid but scared to death I don't fit in In between all extremes 09. Feed On Me Music & lyrics by Glenn Tipton
They are dying on the dance floor
They are lying in debris They are fading with exhaustion From the mortal injuries They are hungry and need feeding They've resigned themselves to fate They are desperate men Death's written on their face When your will to live Is all but gone And you're left alone But you need someone feed on me Feed on me They're outgunned and they're outnumbered But they'll never turn to run And the "In the name of freedom's" Written with their blood Some would call them mercenary But they always knew the pain Inevitably far outweighs the gain Feed on me Feed on me if you need to breathe Feed on me When your hunger strikes you down again And you feel your inner strength has drained feed on me Feed on me Feed on me I got what you need Feed on me Feed on me don't accept defeat They are dying on the dance floor They are lying in debris They are fading with exhaustion From the mortal injuries Some would call them mercenary But they always knew the pain Inevitably far outweighs the gain When your will to live has almost gone And you're left alone and you need someone Feed on me Feed on me Feed on me Feed on me I got what you need Feed on me Feed on me don't accept defeat 10. Subterfuge Music & lyrics by Glenn Tipton, Chris Tsangarides
Holy father drink the fire water
Preaching peace as you go to war Politicians making brave decisions Always got self interest at heart We are to you just a drop in the ocean Maybe that's true but it's only a notion You integrate with a friendly intrusion We won't get fooled we have come to conclusion Subterfuge deludes the views of you and me We're confused but still we choose to disagree Subterfuge consumes us but defiantly We refuse to bow down to conformity Evil mothers hiding under covers Always near but just out of sight Hey big brother watch as we recover 'Cause we'll never give up the fight And we say no! Give us a name and you give us the power Watch as we gather our strength by the hour You think we're blind and weak in decision But we see it all from peripheral vision Subterfuge deludes the views of you and me We're confused but still we choose to disagree Subterfuge consumes us but defiantly We refuse to bow down to conformity Somebody wins, somebody lose Some call it subterfuge Somebody wins, somebody lose They fall to subterfuge Subterfuge deludes the views of you and me We're confused but still we choose to disagree Subterfuge consumes us but defiantly We refuse to bow down to conformity Somebody wins, somebody lose Some call it subterfuge Somebody wins, somebody lose They fall to subterfuge 11. Lost And Found Music & lyrics by K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
I always used to be afraid
That I was going to lose my way I never used to walk in line but stray I never thought I'd see it through That I could deal with losing you But suddenly I see the light of day Leading me in From out of the night Staying on course I'm still alive I had to confess I never thought I would ever survive I was lost and found I had run aground I was lost but now I'm found Focused on my altered state I would just disorientate Suffering alone amongst the crowd Drifting on a sea of doubt And no one ever heard me shout That I was lost and couldn't find my way No one at hand Having no plan Stumbled through a barren land After so long Of going wrong I found the road I was lost and found I had run aground I was lost but now I'm found I was lost and found I had hit the ground I was lost but now I found That I don't need no one To survive You've got to believe alone You'll rise Starting to run Shedding the load Now I can see I'm close to home After so long Of going wrong I found the road I was lost and found I had run aground I was lost but now I'm found 12. Cyberface Music & lyrics by Glenn Tipton, Scott Travis
He lies in wait
For one mistake Morphing on your screen Those who dare Or the unaware Download him for a scream Don't access the site Or beware his megabyte No virus scan Detects the man Or the deadly tasks he plans Drooling lips His circuits lit He crouches for attack Spider like on the web Alive and well But you are dead Iniquitous in every way Now he's come out to play Cyberface Iron will Programmed to corrupt and kill Cyberface No escape He is interfaced to Hell Once he's summoned and installed Cyberface He'll infest your motherboard Cyberface Now he's got a grip He will strip away your flesh Alive yet dead A fiend obsessed He'll crash your system down Once in place He'll simulate Your life it's worthless now God forsaken Grotesque mind An entity That's come alive Boot your screen And suddenly Approaching fast and mean Once he's summoned and installed Cyberface He'll infest your motherboard Cyberface 13. Metal Messiah Music & lyrics by Glenn Tipton, Chris Tsangarides
Unholy Satan begs
He don't make no sense Striving down there to Recruit all of you Do not live in sin Or taste the fear again Someone's coming back Fuck the almanacs Premonition say Better step away Skeptics preach a lot Watch in aftershock Heed the prophecies In your offices Someone out the blue Explodes into view The time is near The day has dawned Be prepared For what's to come He's the man Armageddon Walking through fire Metal Messiah He's the one The father, the son Creator destroyer Metal Messiah Heaven's in a state Someone's at the gate Crashing isn't cool He don't know the rules Stepping in he says Time to rock the place Like they've got a choice Then all Hell breaks loose Hell ain't ready for What he's got in store Time you fuckers had Change of management Better fornicate Before it's too late Cranks the power up As he detonates Never too late To extricate In the event Die or repent He's the man Armageddon Walking through fire Metal Messiah He's the one The father, the son Creator destroyer Metal Messiah You can pray to him Auditorium Buy the merchandise Cheap at twice the price Rising up above With his decibels He's come down to earth Next the universe The time is near The day has dawned Be prepared For what's to come Never too late To extricate In the event Die or repent Metal Messiah Thy kingdom come They will be done 14. What's My Name Music & lyrics by Tim 'Ripper' Owens, K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
You always were too cool
Pushing us around school Everyone knew who you were You always walked the line We had to step aside We always had to eat your dirt But the tables turned And things have changed Time for a lesson So let's spell it out again Remind me just in case You might have forgotten What's my name? Say it again You always brought us down Kicked the weak around Making out that we didn't exist When we'd speak our views You'd say 'who are you' And make your point with a fist But the tables turned And things have changed Time for a lesson So let's spell it out again Remind me just in case You might have forgotten What's my name? Say it again |
