I'm digging deep inside my soul
To bring myself out of this god-damned hole I rid the demons from my heart And found the truth was with me from the start Holy angel lift me from this burning hell -resurrection make me whole Son of judas bring the saints to my revenge -resurrection bring me home I walked alone into a fight No longer standing in satanic light I tried to look too far ahead And saw the road go to my past instead Holy angel lift me from this burning hell -resurrection make me whole Son of judas bring the saints to my revenge -resurrection bring me home I've faced the things i've said and done There is no bastard left to overcome The peace of mind I thought was lost Was right in front of me on paths i've crossed Holy angel lift me from this burning hell -resurrection make me whole Son of judas bring the saints to my revenge -resurrection bring me home |

From memories of 68
when the wizard shock the world Metal came from foundries where the midlands sound unfurled The bullring was a lonely place of concrete towers and steel The coal mines and the industries were all I had to feel. Something inside took hold of me, I really didn`t know But overtime it came to be, I knew which way to go I drove around in search of what would makes this all come true From jazz and electricity and good old southern blues * Hell, we`re born to raise some hell Hell, we`re gonna raise some hell In Henry`s and in Mother`s where I`d go to bang my head The feeling took a hold of me with every word I said The voice was born and came alive from all I saw and heard And now I knew my destiny, I had to spread the word. I took the scream around the world From London to L.A. Unleashed in downtown Tokyo Blew Godzilla away Then on the sound and fury went from Sidney to Brazil It sent the Russians crazy cause they never get their fill. Of hell, we`re born to raise some hell Hell, we`re gonna raise some hell * Repeat The stage and the lights and the amps are ablaze watch them burn From all this insanity the Metal God`s will return. Shock waves attack relentlessly, intimidating force So many bands surrounding you with evil from our source It screams across the universe and slams you to the floor This blitzkrieg psycho mania is coming on full roar The world`s stage that`s waiting for its bad ass to get kicked And we`re all on the road to hell and that`s route 666 * Repeat |

Sig sauer. Victim of a system's non-control Devour, striking terror into every soul Communication breakdown onto self destruction Schizophrenic people breeding hate Pessimistic thinking from a failed connection Survival comes when we annihilate Nailed to the gun Nailed to the gun Paranoia, termination sickness zero's good Blind power, executing humans in cold blood Degenerating children with an opiated bullet Poison flows from words out on the street Trapped inside the home that has become the prison Dissin' everybody that we meet Nailed to the gun Nailed to the gun Locked and loaded, governmental lost to anarchy Weapon goaded, magnum is gagging liberty Cultural collision in an endless frenzy Numbing minds with threats of violence Hopeless to the dream of any decent future Running on sheer fear and ignorance Nailed to the gun Nailed to the gun |

Wild-eyed and tight fisted
I`m fused to the bone I stand contemplating Reacting alone Impaled with betrayal The tourniquet turns Society`s creation Pole-axed out and burnt * Long ago when man was king, His heart was clean now he's stained class Time has slashed each untouched thing, So now he`s just a stained class king Transfixed at deliverance is this all there is Faithless continuum into the abyss Fierce is my conviction absolute my belief I spit at you apathy and seducer deceit * Repeat Lethal, deadly, hung, drawn and quartered He slaughtered and faltered and altered the world But by doing so smashed all his hopes and utopian dreams Whipping, stripping, peeling the flesh off, relentless and senseless His lust snapped like vipers whose fangs sank in deep To infest and decay from the core Impaled with betrayal The tourniquet turns Society`s creation Pole-axed out and burnt * Repeat Stained Class King |

Deadly as the viper
Peering from its coil The poison there is coming to the boil Ticking like a time bomb The fuse is running short on the verge of snapping if it`s caught * And all the pressure that`s been building up For all the years it bore the load The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort Ready to explode Jawbreaker Crouching in the corner Wound up as a spring Piercing eyes that flash are shimmering Muscles are all contorted Claws dug in the dirt Every ounce of fiber on alert * Repeat |

I move as fast as I can I like to get around I'm crazy like a mad man My feet don't touch the ground I move amongst the night life And they just step aside 'cos when they see me coming They know I'm running wild Dead or alive There's nothing that bothers me at all I take on all comers They back off or they fall They raise their hands to stop me I laugh and I defy 'cos what's the point in living Unless you're living wild No chains can hold me down I always break away I never hear society tell me what to do or say I'll taste the life that pleases me Or raise a storm for all the world to see I never stumble never fall Never stop for rest I rebel but I walk tall And I demand respect I move amongst the night life And they just step aside 'cos when they see me coming They know I'm running wild I'm running wild Get gutta my way I'm running wild |

Let it be
Still my anger Bring me peace From my temper I`m trying every way I can I`m doing wrong I understand * Let it be - slow down - watch the pressure fall Bring me peace - slow down - I can`t have it, I can`t have it all. Break the stain Feed my hunger Tell my mind To be stronger I`ve got to move and make it real I`ve got to make myself a deal Break the stain - slow down - give up what i crave Tell my mind - slow down - whtch what I can, watch what I can save. Will I rise Out of shadow Staying calm Feeling hollow I`m here to give me one more chance That choice is resting in my hands, yeah... * Repeat Break this stain - slow down - watch the pressure fall Tell My mind - slow down - I can`t have it I can`t have it all |

You may not like the future
And we`re not here to preach to you We`ll take you to the killing floor. You think you want to know me You think you want to own me But I have nothing you can buy. * I can break you I can raise you Bring you to your knees Cause I`m the one you love to hate. ** You can`t fool me You can`t rule me You only wanna hang around Cause I`m the one you love to hate So come on get a load of this Something you can`t afford to miss You`re just a vulture on my veins. Your nails won`t crucify me Got money, but you can`t see Your only future is your past. * Repeat ** Repeat The one you love to hate Cause I`m the one you love to hate. The one you love to hate Cause I`m the one you love to hate. |

Life in black You never were there for me No never at all You never took care of me You just watched me fall Life in black Life in black I placed all my faith in you I needed you here Christ knows what i've got to do To rid me of fear Life in black Life in black You took me for everything As long as I live While there's still one breath in you I'll never forgive |

I cry from the madness Then reach for a hand Stay on the lifeline 'till I understand I watched my worlds collide And drive me underground I've been to hell and back And beat the devil down I'm all I have I'm all I need The last survivor I fought and won And now I'm free The last survivor I pray for deliverance Grown from the guilt Live from the bottom Destroy what I built I watched my worlds collide And drive me underground I've been to hell and back And beat the devil down I'm all I have I'm all I need The last survivor I fought and won And now I'm free The last survivor I will survive |

Who can say they've never made mistakes? Only fools will suffer what they make Owning up rids poison when you can Admitting you were wrong makes you a man It's every where But do you care? Sad wings of destiny, Where have they gone? I know eternally I'll carry on Did you think that I would disappear? Were you so dried up from all your fear? Thought you'd make me feel impossible You were wrong now who looks like the fool? It's up to you, What did you do? Sad wings of destiny It used to burn I know that faithfully I'll see you turn It's everywhere But do you care Sad wings of destiny, Where have they gone? I know eternally I'll carry on Sad wings of destiny It used to burn I know that faithfully I'll see you turn Sad wings of destiny |

I`m set to paralyze
I`m older so I`m wise I have been crucified With words personified * Here I am now, I`m your savior There can be only one I`m the master, past and future Now the end has begun I`ve always stood alone Your time got overgrown Those words shot way too wide No hate can take my pride ** Here I am now, I`m your savior You can see I`m the one There`s no reason for such treason Now your end has begun * Repeat ** Repeat |

Look at me I`m chasing
After dreams left in the storm What I am is all That really matters now That lies are gone - The lies are gone, All the lies are gone, The lies are gone. Tempting fate and losing Friends along the way I loves No regrets I`m standing With a needle in my heart - Needle in my heart, Needle in my heart, Needle in my heart. You`ll never know My life means everything Still I scream because There`s nothing lift to do until the end. The world goes on With all that I`ve become And still I scream inside For all the pain I`ve taken hasen`t charged. Nothing`s changed at all The truth is like a chain Heaven`s calling me The place that I belong Killing pain - Killing pain. Close my eyes a million faces Get inside my mind. Take a breath and fill my troubled Soul with all mankind. Killing pain - Killing pain, I`m killing pain, Killing pain. You`ll never know My life means everything. Still I scream because There`s nothing left to do until the end. The world goes on With all that I`ve become. And still I scream inside For all the pain I`ve taken hasn`t changed... The man in black I`m coming back to spew my evil hate. My crown of horns and bloody thorns I`ll dig up what you fear. I am the shape that`s in your room that watches over you. I am the needle in your heart - Your disillusioned God. I am God, I am fate, I am all the sins you make, yeah - hate. I am black, I am white, I`m the blood upon the knife, yeah - hate. Since time began I made a vow to drag you underground; To steal your soul of purity and watch you waste away. I am pure, I am right, I`m the God that makes you fight, yeah - hate. I am life, I am death, I will steal your final breath, yeah - hate. I prey upon your broken dreams your weakness gives me strength. I`m laughing at your silent screams I`ll crush you will my hate. Yeah You take it all And face the fear that`s here Until the Silence Screams It leaves you with no choice to carry on. You`ll never fall When all is said and done The only Scream is here The journey never ends - it`s just begun... The lies that never learned The needles in my heart And things will never change So every time I scream I`m killing pain. |

Up here in space I'm looking down on you My lasers trace Everything you do You think you're private lives Think nothing of the kind There is no true escape I'm watching all the time I'm made of metal My circuits gleam I am perpetual I keep the country clean I'm elected electric spy I'm protected electric eye Always in focus You can't feel my stare I zoom into you You don't know I'm there I take a pride in probing all your secret moves My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove I'm made of metal My circuits gleam I am perpetual I keep the country clean Electric eye, in the sky Feel my stare, always there There's nothing you can do about it Develop and expose I feed upon your every thought And so my power grows I'm made of metal My circuits gleam I am perpetual I keep the country clean |

Mercenary battalions Are poised to strike us down Terminations conquest Upon us now full grown Save me my hearts 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 Sin after sin I have endured But the wounds I bare Are the wounds of love Frantic mindless zombies Grab at fleeing time Lost in cold perplection Waiting for the sign Generations tremble Clinging face to face Helpless situation To end the perfect race Slashing senseless sabres Cut us to the ground Eager for the life blood Of all who can be found 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 and no one will survive Heads to the feet - feet to the air Souls in the soil heavy in despair End of all ends bodies into dust To greet deaths friend extinction is a must On the rocks |

He'd had enough he couldn't take anymore He found a place in his mind and slammed the door No matter how they tried they couldn't understand They washed and dressed him fed him by hand Yeah i've left the world behind I am safe here in my mind Im free to speak with my own kind This is my life this is my life I'll decide not you Withdrawn he'd sit there staring into space No sign of life would flicker on his face Until one day he smiled it seemed as though with pride The wind kissed him goodbye and then he died Keep the world with all its sin it's not fit for living in Yeah I will start again it can take forever and ever and ever But I shall win How many like him are there still Who to us all seem to have lost the will They lie in thousands blank and lost Is knowledge worth this bitter cost Beyond the realms of death |

We'd taken too much for granted And all the time it had grown From techno seeds we'd first planted Evolved a mind of its own Walking in the street dragging iron feet Laser beaming hearts Ripping men apart From what had been our perfection Where we could do as we please In secrecy this infection Was spreading like a disease Hiding underground Knowing we'd be found Fearing for our lives Reaped by robot scythes Metal gods metal gods Machines are taking all over With mankind in their command In time they'd learn to discover How they could make their demands Better be the slaves To their wicked ways Than meeting with our death Engulfed in molten breath |

There I was completely wasting Out of work and down All inside it's so frustrating As I drift from town to town Feel as though nobody cares If I live or die So I might as well begin To put some action in my life Breaking the law Breaking the law Breaking the law Breaking the law Breaking the law Breaking the law So much for that golden future I can't even start I've had every promise broken There's anger in my heart You don't know What it's like You don't have a clue If you did you'd find yourselves Doing the same things too Breaking the law Breaking the law Breaking the law Breaking the law Breaking the law Breaking the law You don't know what's like Breaking the law Breaking the law Breaking the law Breaking the law Breaking the law Breaking the law |

[Originally performed by Scorpions] [Bonus Track] I realize I missed the day But I'm too wrecked to care anyway I look around and see the face What the hell have I lost my taste Don't want to find out Just want to cut out My head explodes, my ears ring I can't remember just where I've been The last thing that I recall I got lost in a deep black hole Don't want to find out Just want to cut out Blackout I really had a blackout Blackout I really had a blackout Blackout I really had a blackout Blackout I really had a blackout I grab my things and make a run On my way out, another one Would like to know before I stop Did I make it or did I flop Don't want to find out Just want to get out Blackout I really had a blackout Blackout I really had a blackout Blackout I really had a blackout Blackout I really had a blackout Don't want to find out Just want to get out Blackout I really had a blackout |

Behold 'tis I the commander whose grip controls you all Resist me not surrender i'll no compassion call Tyrant captor of humanity Tyrant conqueror of all Tyrant hideous destructor Tyrant everyman shall fall Your very lives are held between my fingers I snap them and you cower down in fear You spineless things that belly down to slither To the end of the world you follow to be near 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 My legions faithful unto death I'll summon to my court And as you perish each of you shall scream as you are sought |

Inner world trance of the lifeless souls Search and destroy of the damned Turning the grave of the bleached out bones Rise of the ghosts of bedlam Lay on the blade of the cold guillotine Feeling the steel on my spine Taste of the blood as it falls from my mouth I'm evil suspended in time Scream In the dark Of my world Inner dark Why? Does the torture remain and persist? Die? Can I never submit and resist? Down on my side The nightmares colliding I'm writhing and raging in flames Bite on the bitch on the back of the beast Burning desert plains Scream In the dark Of my world Inner dark Violence rides as the human race dies Death bringer stabs away life Scream In the dark Of my world Inner dark Screaming In the Screaming In the Screaming Inner darkness of my world |

You're moving in Hear my name cried from the sky There is a thrill that cuts the air In your hold - I know that i Will never find the love - from a Heart Heart of a lion Heart Heart of a lion All around I hear the sound Of your mighty roar As I hear the thunder You are calling out for more All around I hear the sound Of your mighty roar As I hear the thunder You are crying My heart Of a lion My heart Of a lion Cold heart Heart of a lion Your heart |
