Guarded, despised, backs to the wall, robbed of the chance we deserve
Told that we're lucky to be here at all, our only role is to serve Prisoners from birth, we're denied evry right, to a free life of our own Non-one can stop us, we'll stand up and fight, lords of the Tenement Zone Kickin'an'screamin' I came to this life I had to fight just to survive Live by your wits or die by the knife In the back room of an alleyway dive Smell of freedom in the air chaos rages everywhere See the victims running scared fighting for their lives, yeah We've exposed the lives you lied now it's us that turns the tide We no longer have to hide breakout to the other side Guard dogs, guns, electrified wire, cameras watch my every move Zombie-like faces watch me from the tower, guilty with no need of proof I'll find a way out I'll go it alone, not gonna fall for their lies No-one can stop me from making my run, crush anybody who tries Nothing for nothing an' no-one goes free Dog eat dog everyone for themselves Live with the fact that we're too blind to see There's no escape from this dangerous hell Smell of freedom in the air chaos rages everywhere See the victims running scared fighting for their lives, yeah We've exposed the lives you lied now it's us that turns the tide We no longer have to hide breakout to the other side 02. If Thine Eye
Who are you look at me as if to say I'm wrong
What do you know anyway that makes your case so strong You're to scared to deviate from what you call the norm Can't deny the inbred urge making you conform Innocence is ignorance see their lies for what they are Bend your knee and bow your head, live with one foot in the grave There is no God there is no devil Some men are good some are evil We live in war more than in peace Where there are soldiers there's a priest Ever since the ape stood tall he has worshipped idols Religious intelligence bred this fear inside A thousand different churches say they worship one true god Civilised or savege they flinch from the holy prod Innocence is ignorance see their lies for what they are Bend your knee and bow your head, live with one foot in the grave There is no God there is no devil Some men are good some are evil We live in war more than in peace Where there are soldiers there's a priest If thine eye offends thee, pluck it out If thine heart betray thee, rip it out Turn the other cheek my friend and heed the next blows sting Let the heathen hunger, while you say your prayers and sing! Chant the ten commandments, while you're shagging next doors wife In the hope that one day, you'll redeem your worthless life Waiting for the second coming of a fairy tale, maybe you'll believe me when The air raid sirens wail Innocence is ignorance see their lies for what they are Bend your knee and bow your head, live with one foot in the grave There is no God there is no Devil Some men are good some are evil We live in war more than in peace Where there are soldiers there's a priest 03. Johnny's Home
I remember when we were kids you were always tougher
Always lashing out I could never look you in the eye Rules us with your fear If we crossed you we were made to suffer Spend the night in tears Wishing out to god that you would die Now we're older things have changed Does it really feel so strange I want you to feel the pain That I suffered for your gain In a twisted fear Feel me drawing near Retribution I demand Feel the power in my hands Blow by blow Johnny's home Blow by blow Swing the axe Blow by blow To the max Drove me from my home Walk the streets with no one there to guide me Growing up alone easy meat for those who prey on youth Rotting in a jail, angry hatred boiling up inside me Now revenge is mine Now we're older things have changed Does it really feel so strange I want you to feel the pain That I suffered for your gain In a twisted fear Feel me drawing near Retribution I demand Feel the power in my hands I remember when we were young you were always tougher Always lashing out I could never look you in the eye Ruled us with your fear if we crossed you we were made to suffer Spend the night in tears pleading out to god that you would die Now we're older things have changed Does it really feel so strange I want you to feel the pain That I suffered for your gain In a twisted fear Feel me drawing near Retribution I demand Feel the power in my hands Blow by blow Johnny's home Blow by blow How he's grown Blow by blow Swing the axe Blow by blow To the max 04. Razor's Edge
Ripping through your mind it seems,
The pain in love grows stronger Itch to kill, nags at me all the while With each meeting I'm more sure She won't live much longer Twisted anger burns behind my smile Disorder, in my mind Disorder Disorder, in my mind, Disorder With your blood I seal the pledge Dripping from the Razors Edge Leave you lying cold and still If I can't have you no one will... Ever Match your pain with mine As I force you to kiss the razor Block the sound of your screams from my mind Please don't beg forgiveness Its a pleasure I have paid for Look into my eyes I'm sure you'll find... Disorder, in my mind Disorder Disorder, in my mind, Disorder With your blood I seal the pledge Dripping from the Razors Edge Leave you lying cold and still If I can't have you no one will... Ever I will always love you darling Never stop to doubt it Even as I take away your life As your blood flows to the ground Remember how you hurt me Cut into my soul just like this knife Disorder, in my mind Disorder Disorder, in my mind, Disorder With your blood I seal the pledge Dripping from the Razors Edge Leave you lying cold and still If I can't have you no bastard will... Ever 05. Hellbound
See the work of centuries fall before your eyes
Wave on wave of screaming death falling from the skies Killing faceless innocents feeling no remorse Flying from a distant land on its dedly course Reeling from the blows Nowhere left to go Nothing to live for In this nightmare war Perpetrators safe and sound, hidden miles between the ground When its over no one left to blame them When its over can they bear the shame? No! Soon this world will become his domain Smoking ruins all that still remains Cannot let this madness run its course Leaders must be overthrown by force As the world becomes a living hell Corpses lie forver where they fell History is wiped clean in a day Levelled under skies forever grey Hellbound Every minutes passing we are Hellbound Armaggedon draws near we are Hellbound Here the war dogs howling we are Hellbound Bloodlust in their eyes Hear their screaming sacrifice Dreaming nightmare dreams Curse the ones in who we trusted With our dying screams All our lives expendable victory comes dear Follow them like lemmings even as the end draws near Reeling from the blows Nowhere left to go Nothing to live for In this nightmare war Perpetrators safe and sound, hidden miles between the ground Wwhen its over no one left to blame them When its over can they bear the shame? No! Reeling from the blows nowhere left to go Nothing to live for in this nightmare war Perpetrators safe and sound hidden miles beneath the ground When its over no one left to blame them When its over can they bear the shame Hellbound Hellbound Hellbound Hellbound 06. Hunt You Down
Figures rising everyday, the cause is never clear
Rapists rule street at night, our women live in fear They'd jail a vigilante longer than the guilty scum And go back to the wife and kids and read the fucking Sun But now you find that in time you'll be paid in kind On the streets when we meet you'll be paid in kind When the night falls kill them all you'll be paid in kind Heed your fear death is near you'll be paid in kind When night is falling I'll hunt you down The rope is calling I'll hunt you down You'll pay for Rape and I'll hunt you down Spineless senile judges, psychopaths go free Back to roam the streets again another killing spree Praying on the innocent to fill their twisted need Snatching children from the streets excited by their pleas But now you find that in time you'll be paid in kind On the streets when we meet you'll be paid in kind When the night falls kill them all you'll be paid in kind Heed your fear death is near you'll be paid in kind When night is falling I'll hunt you down The rope is calling I'll hunt you down You'll pay for Rape and I'll hunt you down When night is falling I'll hunt you down The rope is calling I'll hunt you down There's no escape and I'll hunt you down You'll pay for Rape and I'll hunt you down 07. Gods' Prey
Father who art in heaven, all hallowed by thy name
Keep our fingers from the trigger, aimed & loaded in thy name Forgive them, all these sinners, for they know not what they do Born in life, as blind beginners trained to do your work for you In the ever grieving city where the hard men never cry People in the know here say that the flag of hate must always fly Kids turn into killers here like bad beer turns back into piss You will never have a nightmare that is ever quite like this I should know, I should know Easy targets in the school yard, young simple minds can't see the truth Snared by a mask of glamour, they never ask for proof Growing up amid the horrors, grown accustomed to the scene Innocents make perfect killers, thats the way its always been. Minds are moulded into hatred without ever knowing why Playgrounds filled with propaganda, which god waits for you to die? Never question those who order, they have everything to gain Do you duty as a rebel show no mercy for the sane. I should know, I should know Maybe I should know the reason why this war has raged 800 years Maybe I should know the reason why these people live in constant fear. Smash all borders, burn your flag, be set free Smash all borders, burn your flag, be set free Pick through the rubble of ages, all victims look the same Resignation on their faces, pawns in a never ending game Guilty parties free from all the blame, hide behind a screen of lies They've forgotten real compassion, grown deaf to childrens cries. Gods' prey Gods' prey Gods' prey Gods' prey Gods' prey Gods' prey Gods' prey Gods' prey 08. Fight Or Fall
Heartbeats in time with the chanting crowd
Fear screams for a rescue Armed trained all you learned was for this day Cold sweat prayers won't save you Fight or fall show the mob no mercy Fight or fall kill your enemy Fight or fall license you for murder Fight or fall no retrieve Aim fire, helpless victim in my sights Don't ask follow orders Boys with toys forced to face an early manhood Sad child paid to murder Fight or fall show the mob no mercy Fight or fall kill your enemy Fight or fall license you for murder Fight or fall no retrieve Let the screams for mercy ring Till they become deafinening No surrender no retreat We must never know defeat Soldier in this urban hell deadly streets I know so well Enemies on every side where to run, where to hide Barbed wire decorates the devils playground Time kills all your sense of mercy Borrowed power lent to you by faceless owners Grow old with your secret shame Fight or fall show the mob no mercy Fight or fall kill your enemy Fight or fall license you for murder Fight or fall no retrieve 09. No Excuses
Music on my radio ain't what I wanna hear
Censorship polutes my life its purpose all too clear Zombies on my video erase them from my sight P.M.R.C. my enemy and I intend to fight I will touch no evil sure my eyes are blind I will hear no evil wipe it from my mind When your beliefs desert you ignorance is bliss What you don't know can't hurt you ignorance is bliss Keep your pride alive There are no excuses keep your strength inside There are no excuses only we can fight them There are no excuses stand against the tide I will touch no evil sure my eyes are blind I will hear no evil wipe it from my mind When your beliefs desert you ignorance is bliss What you don't know can't hurt you ignorance is bliss There are no excuses keep your pride alive There are no excuses keep your strength inside There are no excuses only we can fight them There are no excuses stand against the tide They can't tell me what to think they don't own my mind Better for them if all kids were deaf dumb and blind Let my words stick in their throats choke on their last breath Trouble with all parents is, in kids they see their death I will touch no evil sure my eyes are blind I will hear no evil wipe it from my mind When your beliefs desert you ignorance is bliss What you don't know can't hurt you ignorance is bliss There are no excuses keep your pride alive There are no excuses keep your strength inside There are no excuses only we can fight them There are no excuses stand against the tide 10. Born For War
Spectre of warfare hangs over our lives
Strangers decide just who lives or dies Mercy no feeling They're so cold and blind Evil leaders with greed on their mind Born for war born for war Time slipping even faster Into the hands, of the master His sign is a mushroom cloud He's the Lord of all disaster Fighting and dying their pawn in the game Generals and kings think we're all the same Thousands of young men lie dead in the mire Out of the classroom into the fire Born for war born for war Time slipping even faster Into the hands, of the master His sign is a mushroom cloud He's the Lord of all disaster Since the turning of the century Its been the same for guys like you and me Fight and die and its the only way Born for War and there's no escape Generation die without a trace Could be wars the devils human face Politicians spout a phoney cause Don't ask me to fight your fucking wars Death The Same For Sinner Of Priest Victims Of This Fragile Peace Born for war |
