- Black
Born out of flames descending upon the earth
The master of games for what they are worth
One with the darkness, one with my soul
Black is all power, black is control
It is my control
Black is the meaning of life
I hunger for the black of the night
- Burn
In the heat of the spot light I watch you run
Dripping kiss of the fortune tellers tongue
Charging into the dark streets, nowhere to turn
Your heart now pounding starts to burn
Could this be all for you? End of your line?
The very air you breathe is scorched
Will this be all they see? No history here
- Condemned to Fight
""When it's time for us to overrun them When the time has come to force a change Then it's time for us to come together Then this time we see the future rearrange Damaged and desecrated Corrupted and controlled Conformed to one man's vision Pushed back against a wall Taking all from us and giving nothing Taking every freed man's rite Lies are covering truth's perfection Lies are smothering in site Damaged and desecrated Corrupted and controlled Conformed to one man's vision We are now condemned to fight Calling all the eyes and ears now open Calling all of us to stand and fight Overpowering the old repression Overpowering with a new insight Damaged and desecrated Corrupted and controlled Conformed to one man's vision We are now condemned to fight Hearing all of this madman's grumbling Heading now the rebels call Victory now is ever present Victory now and forever more Lies cover truth's perfection Lies smother all in site Take all and give nothing Take every freed man's rite Damaged and desecrated Corrupted and controlled Conformed to one man's vision We are now condemned to fight""
- Cycles
""Take me down to the floor Shake me down to the core make me chomp at the bit Watch me crawl and plead and fit All the while you're in control Seeing right into my soul Like a child I curl and cry For the flesh I'll taste tonight Turn the screw hear the cream Something juicy in between Dripping drenching pouring out Who is master there's no doubt With each scar I know my place Marks of pleasure can't erase Smell the musk thick in the room Warning all impending doom You make me beg You make me plead You make me burn (Make me bleed) When I am torn you lick my wounds Then I return... Turn the table time to feed Time for you to beg and plead With each thrust I spill out life Draining out from deep inside Body bursting to errupt From your cup that I now sup Ever flowing ecstasy In your knees it's time to feed You make me beg You make me plead You make me burn (Make me bleed) When I am torn you lick my wounds Then I return...""
- Generally Hostile
Town clock echo splits the night,
the witching hour moves even closer to the brink of time that is at hand.
Sound of heels pound the street from the curse that rules the town.
Chill of death has come to reap the damned.
For years ago he went away and now he's back to claim
the unsuspected souls to justify his death.
Oh, foolish one, you'd best make haste. There is no time
to contemplate. The hammer brings the twelfth and your last breath.
- Harder Than Steel
[lyrics by Harry Conklin]
See the lights flashing bright above
Electrify the night
Sweat dripping lords of the metal kind
Blow you out of sight
Never listen to a word we say
You're always breaking the rules
- Power Surge
Hearts racing, blood boils Fist raising overlords
Corruption our cry We're metal till we die
Power - In our hearts
Surging - In our veins
Power - There's no stopping this force
Full throttle we soar Fist raising overlords
- Shadow Thief
Figures fly across a moonlit bay
Without a sound a figure slips away
Terror strikes a child inside my soul
Shadow Thief will soon play a role
Silent assassin clothed in black
Who will play the pawn in his next attack
- The Clown
Follow me, follow me, where do you go
To play with Charlie, Charlie O
Follow me, follow me, you can't win.
Loses bet, sin, sin
Folliw me, follow me, got a spesial prize
Sharp as a knife, so big in size.
Follow me, follow me, say sick and distraught
Ticket to Hell, sealed and bought
- The Crucifix
When your love exists no more it's time to find another door
Rekindling flames that have gone dim, let feelings spread on a whim
Look toward the light and fix your eyes, let the white dove fly
When your love exists no more it's time to find another door
Hearts are dry it's time they burn
The wheel of life has stopped its turn
Pound the flesh unto the tree
- Vigilant
Through the canopy of this darkened world
I see my prey
never seeing with my eye
Senses are raging from this troubled world
I fell his heart
feeling only with my mind
I am the light in the darkened place
