Up here in space I'm looking down on you My lasers trace Everything you do
You think you've 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
I'm elected electric spy I'm protected electric eye
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
I'm elected electric spy I'm protected electric eye
Protected. Detective. Electric eye
Metal Gods
We've taken too much for granted And all the time it had grown From techno seeds we first planted Evolved a mind of its own
Marching in the streets Dragging iron feet Laser beaming hearts Ripping men apart
From off I've seen my 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's scythes
Metal Gods Metal Gods
Metal Gods Metal Gods
Machines are taking all over With mankind in their command In time they'd like to discover How they can make their demand
Better be the slaves To their wicked ways But meeting with our death Engulfed in molten breath
Grinder
Never straight and narrow I won't keep in time Tend to bend the arrow out of line Been inclined to wander Off the beaten track That's where there's thunder and the wind shouts back
Grinder - looking for the meat Grinder - wants you to eat
Got no use for routine I shiver at the thought Open skies on my scene this boy won't get caught Refuse to bait the man trap Be left to set the snare I love to have my sight capped everywhere
Grinder - looking for meat Grinder - wants you to eat
I have my licence It came with birth For self reliance of this earth You take the bullet On which my name Was etched to file me in your game
Day of independence Stamped us like a brand On the necks of millions to the land As the mighty eagle I need room to breath Witness from the treadmill I take my leave
Grinder - looking for meat Grinder - wants you to eat Grinder - looking for meat Grinder - wants you to eat
Rapid Fire
Pounding the world Like a battering ram Forging the furnace For the final grand slam
Chopping away at the source Soon the course will be done
Leaving a trail of destruction That's second to none
And while such predators Stalk this earth Disguised as saints They kill our faith
Obsessed by greed Lying through their teeth They cannot wash The blood stains off
The Sentinel
Along deserted avenues Steam begins to rise The figures primed and ready Prepared for quick surprise He's watchin' for a sign His life is on the line
Sworn to avenge Condemn to hell Tempt not the blade All fear the Sentinel
Dogs whine in the alleys Smoke is on the wind From deep inside its empty shell A cathedral bell begins Sending out its toll A storm begins to grow
Sworn to avenge Condemn to hell Tempt not the blade All fear the Sentinel
Amidst the upturned burned-out cars The challengers await And in their fists clutch iron bars With which to seal his fate Across his chest is scabbards rest The rows of throwing knives Whose razor points in challenged tests Have finished many lives
Now facing one another The stand-off eats at time Then all at once a silence falls As the bell ceases its chime Upon this sign the challengers With shrieks and cries rush forth The knives fly out like bullets Upon their deadly course Screams of pain and agony Rent the silent air Amidst the dying bodies Blood runs everywhere The figure stands expressionless Impassive and alone Unmoved by this victory And the seeds of death he's sown
Sworn to avenge Condemn to hell Tempt not the blade All fear the Sentinel
Touch Of Evil
You mesmerize slowly Till I can't believe my eyes Ecstasy controls me What you give just serves me right
Without warning you're here Like magic you appear I taste the fear
I'm so afraid But I still feed the flame
In the night Come to me You know I want your Touch of Evil In the night Please set me free I can't resist a Touch of Evil
Aroused with desire You put me in a trance A vision of fire I never had a chance
A dark angel of sin Preying deep from within Come take me in
I'm so afraid But I still feed the flame
In the night Come to me You know I want your Touch of Evil In the night Please set me free I can't resist a Touch of Evil
Arousing me now with a sense of desire Possessing my soul till my body's on fire
A dark angel of sin Preying deep from within Come take me in
I'm so afraid But I still feed the flame
You're possessing me
Burn In Hell
Speak to me Of those days I won't forget Your worst dreams Has just returned - to pay you back I'm still laughing There's not much else I can do But one's thing's certain I'm coming back for you
Have you got a gun Do you remember well Who you used it on You're going to burn in Hell
Die Why? Time to pay the price
Kill I will Have my sacrifice
Plead With fear I am getting near
Friend Liar Time to eat some fire
Have you got a gun Do you remember well Who d'ya use it on You're going to burn in Hell
Burn in Hell I can hear you whisper Burn in Hell You are going to blister
Have you got a gun Do you remember well Who d'ya use it on You're going to burn in Hell
Burn in Hell Burn in Hell
Snarl like a dog You'll scream like a banshee Stuck like a hog You're gonna love me
Burn in Hell I can hear you whisper Burn in Hell You are going to blister Burn in Hell Screaming like a banshee Burn in Hell Burn
The Ripper
You're in for surprise You're in for a shock In London town streets When there's darkness and fog When you least expect me And you turn your back I'll attack
I smile when I'm sneaking Through shadows by the wall I laugh when I'm creeping But you won't hear me at all
All hear my warning Never turn your back On the ripper
You'll soon shake with fear Never knowing if I'm near I'm sly and I'm shameless Nocturnal and nameless Except for "The Ripper" Or if you like "Jack The Knife"
Any back alley street Is where we'll probably meet Underneath a gas lamp Where the air's cold and damp I'm a nasty surprise I'm a devil in disguise I'm a footstep at night I'm a scream of the fright
All hear my warning Never turn your back On the ripper...the ripper....the ripper
Bullet Train
Sunrise showing every flaw Paying for the night before Dark eyes, scanning every vein Exploding - cannot stand the strain
With each new mile They death defy me Standing on trial Scrutinize me And questionize my Strong denial Bullet bullet train Piercing through my brain
Windows illuminating stains Breakdown closing in again Freefall as I close my eyes Voices talking many lies
Changing my course Blurred and scorched Breathing exhaust As we distort By gravity Of such G-force Bullet bullet train Piercing through my brain
Breakdown close my eyes Voices talking many lies Stained glass bursting in Shattering my world again Freefall but never can Ever reach the ground again Dark eyes scanning in Feel my mind explode within
Wanting much more I implore you Near to death's door To ignore The screams of all Who fall before Bullet bullet train Piercing through my brain
Bullet
Beyond The Realms Of Death
He had enough He couldn't take anymore He'd 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'm safe here in my mind 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 Stare blank 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
Yeah! I've left the world behind I'm safe here in my mind Free to speak with my own kind This is my life, this is my life I'll decide not you
Keep the world with all its sin It's not fit for livin' in Yeah! I will start again It can take forever, and ever, and ever And ever, but I'll still win.
How many like him, Are there still But to us, all Seem to have lost the will They lie in thousands Plagued and lost Is nothing worth this bitter cost
Yeah! I've left the world behind I'm safe here in my mind Free to speak with my own kind This is my life, this is my life I'll decide not youKeep the world with all its sin It's not fit for livin' in
Beyond the realms of death.
Death Row
Dead man walking
We've all been detained For the crimes we've committed They stayed execution But we'll never get acquitted Waiting for the day when they strap us in And when they pull the lever Hear the goddamn screams Shake with fear Electric chair
We're all inside Homocide related They'll show no mercy And we don't anticipate it We move a little closer Every day to meet our maker They cover up our face And then they close the circuit breaker Oh! No!
Shake with fear Your time draws near Oh! No! - I won't go You'll never get me down to Death row
Oh come on man Give me a break I made one mistake, that's all it takes
Shake with fear The end is near
Oh! No! - I won't go You'll never get me down to Death row Oh! No! - They're taking me slow One way ticket to Death row
So what's the matter son Too young to die Take it like a man Don't cry Ah! Ah!
Ahh!
Oh! No! - I won't go You'll never get me down to
Death row Say a prayer, best beware It's not very nice in the electric chair Oh! No! - I won't go You'll never get me down To Death row
Oh! No! - They're taking me Slow
A one way ticket to Death row

Night Crawler
Howling winds keep screaming round And the rain comes pouring down Doors are locked and bolted now As the thing crawls into town
Straight out of hell One of a kind Stalking his victim Don't look behind you
Nightcrawler Beware the beast in black Nightcrawler You know he's coming back Night Crawler
Sanctuary is being sought Whispered prayers a last resort Homing in its' cry distorts Terror struck they know they're caught
Straight out of hell One of a kind Stalking his victim Don't look behind you
Nightcrawler Beware the beast in black Nightcrawler You know he's coming back Night Crawler
As night is falling The end is drawing near They'll hear Their last rites echo on the wind
Huddled in the cellar Fear caught in their eyes Daring not to move or breathe As the creature cries Fingernails start scratching On the outside wall Clawing at the windows 'Come to me' it calls Atmosphere's electric As it now descend the stairs
Hiding in the darkness Is so futile from its glare Death comes in an instant As they hoped it would Souls ascend to heaven While it feasts on flesh and blood
Straight out of hell! One of a kind. Stalking its victim, Don't look behind you
Nightcrawler Beware the beast in black Nightcrawler You know he's coming back Night Crawler
Abductors
Abductors - they come at night
They come at night and they infiltrate you They paralyse and they mentally rape you Expressionless they disintegrate you The probe your soul and desecrate you
Abductors - will bleed your mind Abductors - cutting inside They come for you in the night
They strap you in-struments laid before you And powerless begin to explore you You scream in pain but they just ignore you The bring machines and they drill and bore you
Abductors - cutting inside Abductors - drinking your mind
No-one believes that you Were chosen from few Defiled and abused By alien rituals
You wake in fright there in your room You better hope your memory fails you A lower form of life to them Just one more blood experiment
Abductors - will bleed your mind Abductors - cutting inside They come for you in the night
They send you back and disorientate you A lesser race they discriminate you Whatever said will incriminate you No-one believes
The sceptics laugh and annihilate you They dig you out and they excavate you Authority and even God forsakes you No-one believes
Hey maybe I am just a liar
Victim Of Changes
Whiskey woman don't you know that you are drivin' me insane The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my brain Don't you know you're driving me insane You're tryin' to find your way through life You're tryin' to get some new direction Another woman got her man She won't find no new connection
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through
Takes another look around, you're not goin' anywhere You've realised you're gettin' old and no one seems to care You're tryin' to find your way again You're tryin' to find some new... Another woman's got her man But she won't find a new...
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through
You 'bin foolin' with some hot guy I want to know why is it why Get up get out you know you really blew it I've had enough, I've had enough, good God pluck me
Once she was wonderful Once she was fine Once she was beautiful Once she was mine...she was mine
Now change has come over her body, she doesn't see me anymore Now change has come over her body, she doesn't see me anymore
Changes, changes, changes, changes Victim of changes
Diamonds And Rust
I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you decided to call
And here I sit, hand on the telephone Hearing the voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Headed straight for a fall
But we both know what memories can bring They bring Diamonds and Rust Yes we both know what memories can bring They bring Diamonds and Rust
Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around and snow in your hair Now we're smiling out the window of the crummy hotel over Washington Square Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me we both could've died then and there
But we both know what memories can bring They bring Diamonds and Rust Yes we both know what memories can bring They bring Diamonds and Rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust Diamonds, Diamonds and Rust
Breaking The Law
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 Breaking the law, breaking the law
So much for the 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 thing too
Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law
You don't know what it's like
Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law
The Green Manalishi
Now when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks And the night is so black that the darkness cooks And you come creeping around, making me do things I don't want to do
Can't believe that she needs my love so bad Come sneaking around, trying to drive me mad Busting in all my dreams, making me see things I don't want to see
'Cause you're the Green Manalishi with the two-pronged crown All night dragging us up, or you're bringing us down Just taking my love, and slip away Leaving me here, trying to keep from following you
Painkiller
Faster than a bullet Terrifying scream Enraged and full of anger He's half man and half machine
Rides the Metal Monster Breathing smoke and fire Closing in with vengeance soaring high
He is the Painkiller This is the Painkiller
Planets devastated Mankind's on its knees A saviour comes from out the skies In answer to their pleas
Through boiling clouds of thunder Blasting bolts of steel Evils going under deadly wheels
He is the Painkiller This is the Painkiller
Faster than a laser bullet Louder than an atom bomb Chromium plated boiling metal Brighter than a thousand suns
Flying high on rapture Stronger free and brave Nevermore encaptured They've been brought back from the grave
With mankind resurrected Forever to survive Returns from Armageddon to the skies
He is the Painkiller This is the Painkiller Wings of steel Painkiller Deadly wheels Painkiller
You've Got Another Thing Coming
One life I'm gonna live it up I'm takin' flight I said I'll never get enough Stand tall I'm young and kinda proud I'm on top as long as the music's loud
If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had You think I'll let it go you're mad You've got another thing comin'
That's right here's where the talkin' ends Well listen this night there'll be some action spent Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots I got an ace card comin' down on the rocks
If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain Listen I ain't foolin' and you'd better think again Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had You think I'll let it go you're mad You got another thing comin'
In this world we're livin' in we have our share of sorrow Answer now is don't give in aim for a new tomorrow
Oh so hot no time to take a rest yeah Act tough ain't room for second best Real strong got me some security Hey I'm a big smash I'm goin' for infinity yeah
If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had You think I'll let it go you're mad You've got another thing comin'
Hell Bent For Leather
Seek him here, seek him on the highway Never knowing when he'll appear All await, engine's ticking over Hear the roar as they sense the fear
Wheels! A glint of steel and a flash of light! Screams! From a streak of fire as he strikes!
Hell bent, hell bent for leather Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Black as night, faster than a shadow Crimson flare from a raging sun An exhibition, of sheer precision Yet no one knows from where he comes
Fools! Self destruct cannot take that crown Dreams! Crash one by one to the ground Hell bent, hell bent for leather Hell bent, hell bent for leather
There's many who tried to prove that they're faster But they didn't last and they died as they tried
There's many who tried to prove that they're faster But they didn't last and they died as they tried
Hell bent, hell bent for leather Hell bent, hell bent for leather Hell bent, hell bent for leather Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Living After Midnight
Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone
I took the city 'bout one A.M, loaded, loaded I'm all geared up to score again, loaded, loaded I come alive in the neon light That's when I make my moves right
Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone
Got gleaming chrome, reflecting steel, loaded, loaded Ready to take on every deal, loaded, loaded My pulse is racing, I'm hot to take This motor's revved up, fit to break
Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone
I'm aiming for ya I'm gonna floor ya My body's coming All night long
The air's electric, sparkin' power, loaded, loaded I'm getting hotter by the hour, loaded, loaded I set my sights and then home in The joint starts flying when I begin
Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone
