Vengeance from the heavens, the judgement day comes
Rage and retribution, a hammer to the heart Your eyes swell with fear, your maker slithers down Burnin' through the wasteland, you're prey to the carrion Afterburner comes roaring Watch out! Afterburner comes roaring Watch out! White neon demon, the bearer of light Truth and broken nails, fight for the fight Tearing down the kings, kickin' down the crown Gutter constitution, it's brimstone retribution Rusted knuckle-dusters are ready to go The buzzard cries above the massacre below Electric laser vision burning down the road Out to batter and bruise, it's time to fuckin' go! Afterburner comes roaring Watch out! Afterburner comes roaring Watch out! Fear his name! Afterburner comes roaring Watch out! Burn in flames! Afterburner comes roaring Watch out! A swing of the axe, glint in the night Scream out of fear, nocturnal fright A swing of the axe, maniacal eyes Afterburner's raging, he's comin' tonight! Curse of the day, spellbound by hate Shape-shifting demon, he sharpens his blade Tyranny of gods, his burning desire To come into town and set it on fire! A swing of the axe, a thrust of the blade A scream splits the night and now it's too late Hunched over victims, watching them plead Watching them cry, watching them bleed! Watch out! Not a soul stirs, it's the dead of the night One false move and he's ready to strike An axe on the left, a blade on the right He means good business, good business tonight Now that he's done he wipes down his wares His eyes burn with fury, he sharpens his gaze Afterburner's his name, hunting's his game Better watch your back, here he comes again! Afterburner comes roaring Watch out! Afterburner comes roaring Watch out! Fear his name! Afterburner comes roaring Watch out! Burn in flames! Afterburner comes roaring Watch out! 02. Cold Blood
Every waking moment
Wonder what's out there Every ignorant second The many masks you wear They inch closer They see through me A million piercing eyes Planting their wretched seed Every secret whispered You think aloud Every step you take Towards the light, you will fall! They turn to break you They bring you down Infiltrate the thoughts you dare to think Desolate realms Are yours to rule King in the gutter, jester you're the fool! The secret moon Arise the star! Don't dare question From the throne you will fall Razor sharp eyes Shine through the night Two-moon massacre Unholy, formless divine Better count your blessings Understand the pain He stands high Colossal dealer of pain Liberty's chains Dominion sought In the end Was it worth the fight? 03. Dead Of Night
Shadows all around
The night's movin' in The day wastes on by As darkness looms ahead It's the midnight hour We gather for the feast On these streets we ride Disciples of the beast Silently we slither As the world slips away Spawns of the moon Carving out the stars As the city sleeps The hunt gathers pace Phantoms of the black In twilight we rise Spectres from beyond Glide through the mist Blood is our wine A never-ending, insatiable lust! Children of the sun Ride with us tonight! In the silence of the void Lies the sweet kiss of death Hear our cries! Come to us and we will sanctify Purify your virgin heart Hear our cries! Come with us and we will sanctify Consecrate your virgin soul Hear my cry! Come to me and let me sanctify Purify your virgin heart Hear my cry! Come to me and let me sanctify Consecrate your virgin heart 04. Red Dawn
From far-flung galaxies they come
Ghostly discs of fire, there's nowhere to run In stealth mode, undetected, they are closing in I wake up in chills, god knows where I've been! Pitch-black darkness in the city tonight The heavens are lit, a threatening sight Startling silence shattered by a piercing scream I wake up in chills, god knows where I've been! Shadows from beyond Rain terror in the night Deadly imperial force Of primal ancient might The signal is beamed in a binary stream The skies are crawling and it seems to me My hideous visions bear a deadly truth I scream their name, what did I do? Malevolent voices usher me to the hall The invasion is nigh, everyone shall fall! From the skyline it beckons to me, all eyes can see I scream its name, I don't know where I've been! Shadows from beyond Rain terror in the night Deadly imperial force Of primal ancient might A cipher code for the eternal being In ones and zeros, déjà-vu complete Cosmic parasites reveal their carbon queen I wake up in chills, oh god what have I seen? Deafening sirens sound from light years away Impending doom, orbital decay Mass enslavement, thunder from above This is our final stand, listen to what I say! Annihilate! Replicate! 05. On The Run
That sinking feeling
Burnin' at my soul The day you walked away Now I'm far from home I stand persecuted Face judgement alone No one can save me now Now I'm on my own I find no reason But I pay the price A raging, searing madness And memories cold as ice Storm clouds gather above Ain't easy to stand tall These chains of grief that bind me I'll never shake 'em off 'Tis the season of grey All alone in the rain Don't you shed your tears for me Or cry for yesterday On the run I fight for you Locked away you know it's true These thoughts they come back to me My tears stain these empty streets I'm on the run back to you Left for dead, you know it's true These thoughts they come back to me My tears stain these empty streets So please come Set me free! Now that we're near the end It's been a long, old while My wretched, bleeding heart Yearns for days gone by The room grows smaller As the night closes in My whole world's crashing down Now I'm all alone once again On the run I fight for you Locked away you know it's true These thoughts they come back to me My tears stain these empty streets I'm on the run back to you Left for dead, you know it's true These thoughts they come back to me My tears stain these empty streets I've been On the run! 06. The Crimson Queen
In the dark she spots me
The crimson queen One look in her eye Rapt in a deathly dream There is no escape It's the end of my life Trapped by her wicked mercy My soul's fading light Heed her evil eye The crimson queen arrives The chant goes out tonight With every dawn I die! The hunting ground is Grief Street For the filthy, easy meat The night court's soon adjourned Come now! The gathering completes From her dagger drips the spell Darkness falls across the realm Her words whip me in a trance Into the void I hurl myself Heed her evil eye The crimson queen arrives The chant goes out tonight Upon the altar, sacrifice! Heed her evil eye With every dawn I die! Where can you run now? Her eyes will burn you down Where can you run now? Conjure the spell, bring forth the night! Blinded by her cunning hate I fall prey to my doom A victim blinded at the stake A serpentine gift to the moon Shadows dancing all around She howls across the plains From her grave a glistening light Behold! The queen of the dead! Heed her evil eye The crimson queen arrives The chant goes out tonight With every dawn I die! Heed her evil eye The crimson queen arrives The chant goes out tonight Upon the altar, sacrifice! 07. Mach Speed Running
The beast roars, motor gospel
Down the road with no bends Straight cast, needle point On my own to the bitter end Chrome winds through my hair All or nothin', fortune spent Lord knows I won't change On this ride nothing's ever the same Rev it up! The coast is clear A tyrant sings for the young ones Wind in my sails, Mach-speed running Thunder roars and you'll never bring me down! Crank it up! The night's upon us A beggar's claim for the throne Wind in my sails, Mach-speed running Thunder roars and you'll never bring me down! On through the blackest night Chrome monster, wicked ride Burnin' up the beaten path Turbo-charged, I'm killin' time Storm-born, devil's child Stained by the sinner's blood Movin' up to a speed that thrills Stand down! I'm comin' in for the kill Rev it up! The coast is clear A tyrant sings for the young ones Wind in my sails, Mach-speed running Thunder roars and you'll never bring me down! Crank it up! The night's upon us A beggar's claim for the throne Wind in my sails, Mach-speed running Thunder roars and you'll never bring me down! Hell's wheels, motor breath Thunder-strip psychonaut The fire still burns inside A mob of one, I'm runnin' wild Follow me to motor hell A place where the rebels dwell Won't bow to any man Crash and burn, I don't give a damn! Rev it up! The coast is clear A tyrant sings for the young ones Wind in my sails, Mach-speed running Thunder roars and you'll never bring me down! Crank it up! The night's upon us A beggar's claim for the throne Wind in my sails, Mach-speed running Thunder roars and you'll never bring me down again! 08. Into The Wind
Into the wind
Out on my own Like a wolfen child I call the night my home One with the wild I'm standing tall No one can stop me now I hear the echo of freedom's call Ain't no more chains That can hold me down I'm gunnin' for nothin' And I won't look back Nothing's what it seems Nothing's what it used to be But it goes on and on In this spiral dream Hold my hand and never let me go Till I am one with the wind and I roam the stars far beyond No more fear and there will be no pain For I am one with the night And I'm never alone ever again Ashen skies Over roving fields I run I let my spirit fly Into the great unknown Unearthly lights As far as the eye can see At the gates of wonder That's where you and I will be My soul is free To wander through Never-ending time and space I face the cosmic truth Nothing's what it seems Nothing's what it used to be But it goes on and on In this spiral dream Hold my hand and never let me go Till I am one with the wind and I roam the stars far beyond No more fear and there will be no pain For I am one with the night And I'm never alone ever again |
