Les paroles

1. FREEWHEEL BURNING

Fast and furious we ride the universe
To carve a road for us that slices every curve in sight
We accelerate, no time to hesitate
This load will detonate whoever would áontend its right
Born to lead at breakneck speed with high octane
We're spitting flames freewheel burning
On we catapult, we're thrusting to the hilt
Unearthing every fault, go headlong into any dare
We don't accept defeat, we never will retreat
We blaze with scorching heat obliterations everywhere
Look before you leap has never been the way we keep
Our road is free
Charging to the top
And never give in never stops the way to be
Hold on to the lead with all your will and concede
You'll find there's life with victory on high


2. JAWBREAKER

Deadly as the viper peering from its coil
The poison there is coming to the boil
Ticking like to 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 coner
Wound up as a spring
Piercing eyes that flash are shimmering
Muscles all contorted
Claws dug in the dirt
Every ounce of fibre on alert


3. ROCK HARD RIDE FREE

Get a grip on the action, moving heaven and earth
Gotta get a reaction, push for all that you're worth
No denying we're going against the grain
So defiant they'll never put us down
Rock hard ride free all day, all night
Rock hard ride free all your life
Tough as steel stop at nothing
Look at fate in the face
Don't take no for an answer
Grab the lead in the race
Rock hard with a purpose
Got a mind that won't bend
Diehard resolution
That is true to the end


4. THE SENTINEL

Along deserted avenues
Steam begins to rise
The figures primed and ready
Prepared for quick surprise
He's watching for a sign
His life is on the line
Dogs whine in the alleys
Smoke is on the wind
From deep inside its empty shell
A cathedral bell begins
Ringing out its toll
A storm beings to grow
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 in scabbards rest
The rows of throwing knives
Whose razor points in challenged tests
Have finished many lives
Now facing as another
The stand-off eats at time
Then all at once a silence falls
As the bell ceases its chime
The knives fly out like bullets
Upon this sing the challengers
With shrieks and cries rush forth
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


5. LOVE BITES

When you feel safe when you feel warm
That's when i rise that's when i crawl
Gliding on mist hardly a sound
Bringing the kiss evils abound
In the dead of the night love bites
Into your room where in deep sleep
There you lie still to you i creep
Then i descend close to your lips
Across you i bend you smile as i sip
Now you are mine in my control
One taste of your life
And i own your soul
Softly you stir gently you moan
Lust's in the air wake as i groan
In the dead of the night love bites
Love bites you invites you
To feast in the night
Excites you delight you
It drains you to white
Live bites
You knew at first sight
You'd enjoy my attack
That with my first bite
There'd be no turning back
So come in my arms i strike any hour
I will return to trap and devour
In the dead of the night love bites


6. EAT ME ALIVE

Wrapped tight around me
Like a second flesh hot skin gling my body
As the ecstasy begins
Your wild vibrations
Got me shooting from the hip
Crazed and insatiable let rip
Eat me alive
Sounds like on animal panting to the bear
Groan in the pleasure zone gasping from the heat
Gut-wrenching frenzy that deranges every joint
I'm gonna force you at gun point
To eat me alive
Bound to deliver as you give and i collect
Squealing in passion as the rod steel injects
Lunge to the maximum
Spread-eagled to the wall
You're well equipped to take it all
So eat me alive


7. SOME HEADS ARE GONNA ROLL

You can look to the left and look to the right
But you will live in danger tonite
When the enemy comes he will never be heard
He'll blow your mind and not say a word
Blinding lights-flashing colors
Sleepless nights
If the man with the power
Can't keep it under control
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll

The power-mad freaks who are
Ruling the earth
Will show little they think you're worth
With animal lust they'll devour your life
And slice your word to bits like a knife
One last day burning hell fire
You're blown away
If the man with the power
Can't keep it under control
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll

Know what it's like
When you're taken for granted
there goes your life
It's so underhanded
If the man with the power
Can't keep it under control
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll


8. NIGHT COMES DOWN

In the last rays of the setting sun
And the past days, that's where our memories run
And all of those times still race though my mind
I'm shattered inside to find
When the night comes down
And i'm here all alone
When the night comes down
And there's no place to go
Call me and i'll wait till the summer
You never understood
Call me and i'll wait forever
For a love that's only good
As the light starts to dim
The fear closes in and the nightmares begin
Oh no you won't be there tomorrow
Oh no say it isn't true
Can't take this pain and sorrow
Oh can't you see my heart is broken in two


9. HEAVY DUTY

I know you like it hot
Love to writhe and sweat
You think that this feels good
You ain't felt nothing yet
Red-hot licks in the palm of my hand
Feel your baby quake
As we hit the promised land
I'm heavy duty
We'll rise onside ya till the power splits your head
We're gonna rock ya till your metal hunger's fed
Let's all join farces
Rule with an iron hand
And prove to all the world
Metal rules the land
We're heavy duty
So come on let's tell the world


10. DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH

We are defenders of the faith


BONUSTRACKS (RE-ISSUE 2001)


11. TURN ON YOUR LIGHT

Why do i have to wait so long
Before you come into my life again
Seems as though forever until
I can be here by your side till then

I think you feel the same way too
You know you make my dreams come true
If you'll just turn on your light
Let me see it shining through the night

When i'm far away from here
I'll hold all the memories so clear
If i only have the choice
I would stay so let me hear your voice

I think you feel the same way too
You know you make my dreams come true
If you'll just turn on your light
Let me see it shining through the night


12. HEAVY DUTY/DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH (LIVE)

I know you like it hot
Love to writhe and sweat
You think that this feels good
You ain't felt nothin' yet

Red-hot licks in the palm of my hand
Feel your body quake
As we hit the promised land
I'm heavy duty

We'll rise inside ya till the power splits your head
We're gonna rock ya till your metal hunger's fed

Let's all join forces
Rule with iron hand
And prove to all the world
Metal rules the land
We're heavy duty
So come on let's tell the world

We are defenders of the faith
