1. HIT AND RUN

Call the doctor, call out the troops,
We got another one down,
Sirens wailing again on the road,
Looks like another one down,
Looks like a life, it looks like a soul,
Looks like another one down,
Been hit from the front, been hit from the rear,
He's just another one down.

Feel the pain in wounded heats, see the crying eyes,
Got to stand and do your part, spread your wings and fly.

Don't be a...don't be a hit and run,
(Don't be a hit and run, run, run)
Don't be a...don't be a hit and run,
(Don't be a hit and run, run, run, run)
How can you run when you're hit?
Don't be a hit and run.

Call out for justice, call out the law,
Looks like a hit and run,
Sirens wailing, and come to your side,
You're just a hit and run,
Looks like a victim, looks like a crime,
Looks like a hit and run,
You know there'll come a day
He's gonna pay for a hit and run.

Feel the pain in wounded heats, see the crying eyes,
Got to stand and do your part, spread your wings and fly.

Don't be a...don't be a hit and run, (don't be a hit and run, run, run)
Don't be a...don't be a hit and run, (don't be a hit and run, run, run, run)
How can you run when you're hit?
Don't be a hit and run.

Feel the pain in wounded heats, see the crying eyes,
Got to stand and do your part, spread your wings and fly.

Don't be a...don't be a hit and run,
(Don't be a hit and run, run, run)
Don't be a...don't be a hit and run,
(Don't be a hit and run, run, run, run)
How can you run when you're hit?
Don't be a hit and run,
Don't be a hit and run,
(Don't be a hit and run, run, run, run)

Sirens wailing again on the road,
Don't be a hit and run,
Sirens wailing, they come to your side,
Don't be a hit and run.

Don't be a...don't be a hit and run,
(Don't be a hit and run, run, run)
Don't be a...don't be a hit and run
(Don't be a hit and run, run, run, run)
How can you run when you're hit?
Don't be a hit and run.


2. MASTER OF THE METAL

You hear a loud guitar
You wonder what we are
You say we're all the same
You see us dressed in black
Preparing to attack
You say it's such a shame
But do you really know
The force behind our show
Our one way ticket home
We'er rockin' for the rock
And we will never stop
And this you've got to know

Jesus said upon this rock
My church will stand
And for my church
I'll come again

He's the Master
The Master of the metal
For Him I sing
He's the Master
The Master of the metal
Christ, my Lord, my King
He's the Master of the metal

You say you like the sound
But still you're going down
You're in the danger zone
We offer you the news
It's up to you to choose
It's time to come on home
Well Jesus is the way
He wants to give you life
So open up your heart
The time is now to start
He wants to give you life

You hear a loud guitar
It's sounding good so far
But have you heard the news
You say we're sounding good
But have you understood
That you don't have to lose


3. FOR WHOM HE BELL TOLLS (PT. 23)

For whom does the bell toll?
For whom does it ring?
The children of God will see his face, and will sing,
And though I walk through valleys and shadows of death,
I know that you are near me, and I will fear no evil.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want,
He makes me lie down in fields so green,
He leads me beside the waters so still,
He lifts up my soul when I grow weak,
He leads me in paths of righteousness,
All this he does for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through valleys of death,
I will fear no evil.

Thou preparest a table in the presence of my foes,
He annointeth my head with oil, and my cup overflows,
And goodness and mercy shall follow me,
And I will dwell in the house of God forever.

Yea, though I walk through valleys of death,
I will fear no evil.

For whom does the bell toll?
For whom does it ring?
The children of God will see his face, and will sing,
Though I walk through valleys and shadows of death,
I know that you are near me, and I will fear no evil.


4. FEAR NO EVIL

Racing along at break-neck speed, running for your life,
Wolves have bared their teeth again;
Moon shines full tonight,
You see their faces twist and turn: creatures of the night,
Bloody hands and blood-stained fangs challenge you to fight.

No, there's no more need to run,
Fight, stand up for the Son,
He has given you the sword,
Fight, he's given you his word.

Fear no evil, (bloody hands and fangs)
Fear no evil, (creatures of the night)
Fear no evil, (challenge you to fight)
Fear no evil.

Hear them calling out your name; what you gonna do?
Fear is burning like a flame; run is all you do,
Tearing up in the streets tonight, who will brave a stand?
Spirits in the frontline war; the kingdom is at hand.

No, there's no more need to run,
Fight, stand up for the Son,
He has given you the sword,
Fight, he's given you his word.

Fear no evil, (bloody hands and fangs)
Fear no evil, (creatures of the night)
Fear no evil, (challenge you to fight)
Fear no evil.

Take to the air to see the light,
Take to the ground, prepare to fight,
Take to the streets; they need to see,
Take to the sky and we'll be free.

Fear no evil,
Fear no evil,
Fear no evil,
Fear no evil.

Racing along at break-neck speed, running for your life,
Wolves have bared their teeth again;
Moon shines full tonight,
You see their faces twist and turn: creatures of the night,
Bloody hands and blood-stained fangs challenge you to fight.

No, there's no more need to run,
Fight, stand up for the Son,
He has given you the sword,
Fight, he's given you his word.

Fear no evil, (bloody hands and fangs)
Fear no evil, (creatures of the night)
Fear no evil, (challenge you to fight)
Fear no evil.


5. HEAVY METAL THUNDER

Can't you hear the thunder?
Can't you see the lightning strike?
Can't you feel your hunger?
Can't you taste the bread of life?

You try to run and hide, but you can't get away,
Heavy metal thunder - it calls to you today,
Deep in the darkness you see the light cut through,
Deep in the shadows you hear the call:
"What are you gonna do?"

Heavy metal thunder,
Heavy metal noise,
Heavy metal thunder,
You hear the call - what are you gonna do?

Can't you hear the thunder?
Can't you see the heaven's quake?
Heavy metal thunder, you can't escape.

It lies before you; the choice is yours to make,
Heavy metal thunder - it calls to you today,
Deep in the darkness you search for truth in lies,
Deep in the shadows you hear the call:
"Will you live or die?"

Heavy metal thunder,
Heavy metal noise,
Heavy metal thunder,
You hear the call - will you live or die?

Who are you going to chose?
Who are you going to chose?
Tell me.

Deep in the darkness you search for truth in lies,
And deep in the shadows you hear the call:
"Will you live or die?"

Who are you going to chose?
Who are you going to chose?
Live or die?

Heavy metal thunder,
Heavy metal noise,
Heavy metal thunder,
Heavy metal noise,
Heavy metal thunder,
It's heavy metal noise,
Heavy metal thunder,
You hear the call - will you live or die?


6. THE FRIEND

Never knew humanity,
Pushed aside fellow sympathy,
Depression sets, people disagree,
Searching for what's really free.

When you think you're at the end,
And your life's just one big sin,
Just reach out and grab a hand,
And you know there is a friend,
And you know there is a friend.

Blinded eyes down a one-way street,
Darkened by their own defeat,
Wisdom lost, hunger for a need,
Promises caught up in their greed.

When you think you're at the end,
And your life's just one big sin,
Just reach out and grab a hand,
And you know there is a friend,
And you know there is a friend.

Seal the fate, you took the mark,
Lucifer will have a start,
End of life as you once knew,
Feel the heat, your life is through.

When you think you're at the end,
And your life's just one big sin,
Just reach out and grab a hand,
And you know there is a friend,
And you know there is a friend.


7. BATTLE CRY

Scared, alone, and hurt again: these are my battle scars,
Cold and tired, no rest in sight;
My heart feels the battle scars,
My mind wants to stop, by my hearts says no,
Though it's pierced and it's ready to die,
My lifeblood spills, I'm ready to go, but
I hear it in the night...

Battle cry, battle cry.

Sometimes I feel like I'm falling apart, sometimes
I feel I should fall,
But I grit my teeth and clench my fists,
See the writing on the wall,
The good book says we've got to stand,
We've got to take it all,
Fighting with love and the sword of the Lord,
We answer to our call.

Battle cry, battle cry.

My war is not with flesh and blood;
I'm fighting for my life,
Frontlines all the time; ain't no rest in sight,
I fire at will, I open up, trying to gain some ground,
And I fight on, fight on, marching toward that sound.

Battle cry, it's a battle cry,
Battle cry, it's a battle cry,
Battle cry, it's a battle cry,
Battle cry, it's a battle cry.

Take a chance on love again, open up inside,
Try once, try twice, try to understand,
Taken falls, I've had my share;
I've learned to take it well,
It still hurts, still hurts; only God can tell.

Battle cry,
Cry of pain, a cry of fear,
Battle cry,
Cry of the heart that no one hears,
Battle cry,
Scared and alone, too tired to fight,
Battle cry,
It goes on, and on, and on, and on through the night.

Battle cry,
Cry of pain, and a cry of fear,
Battle cry,
Cry of the heart that no one hears,
Battle cry,
Scared and alone, too tired to fight,
Battle cry,
Goes on, and on, and on, and on through the night.

Scared, alone, and hurt again: these are my battle scars,
Cold and tired, no rest in sight;
My heart feels the battle cry.


8. VOICE THAT'S CALLING

Does the love seem to leave you?
Is you spirit feeling low?
Confusion is the word to suit you,
Is there no place left to go?
Feel the lust inside you climbing,
Feel those flames inside you rise,
Don't you know your heart will find you?
From the pain, you cannot hide.

There's a light shining out to the world,
In the darkness, by his power, we are hurled.

Every knee will bend at the name of Jesus,
And the demons bow,
Every knee will bend at the name of Jesus,
And the demons bow.

Sometimes we walk in circles,
A thousand leagues have passed us by,
But when we get to where we started,
We just break down and we cry,
Can't you hear a voice that's calling?
It's calling out from deep inside,
If you'd only stop to listen,
He'll bring new life to what has died.

There's a light shining out to the world,
In the darkness, by his power, we are hurled.

Every knee will bend at the name of Jesus,
And the demons bow,
Every knee will bend at the name of Jesus,
And the demons bow.

There's a light shining out to the world,
In the darkness, by his power, we are hurled.

Every knee will bend at the name of Jesus,
And the demons bow,
Every knee will bend at the name of Jesus,
And the demons bow.

Jesus, Jesus, I will have no gods before you,
Jesus, Jesus, I will have no gods before you,
Jesus, Jesus, I will have no gods before you,
Jesus, Jesus, I will have no gods before you.

Jesus, Jesus, I will have no gods before you,
Jesus, Jesus, I will have no gods before you,
Jesus, Jesus, I will have no gods before you,
Jesus, Jesus, I will have no gods before you,
I will have no gods before you.
