Lyrics


DISC 1

1. DELIVER US FROM EVIL

Deliver us from all the wicked
Deliver us from the woe
Free, these chains of hell
And now''s the time to strike the final blow

One by one, to the swords, to the guns!
Two by two, and away we go
Father and son, heed the words we pray
Deliver us from evil this day
Deliver us from evil today

Deliver us from ill minded rulers
Deliver us from all their talk
See all the evil and the greed
These people that seek what they''ve lost

One by one, to the swords, to the guns!
Two by two, and away we go
Father and son, heed the words we pray
Deliver us from evil this day
Deliver us from evil today

Prepare for the final awakening
Prepare for the time it has come
Look to the heavens! a crack in the sky
The ending of time has begun
. . . And now all that you have is gone . . .

Deliver us from all the hatred
Deliver us from all the sin
And we who believe will eternally sing
These words in which we call the battle hymn!

One by one, to the swords, to the guns!
Two by two, and away we go
Father and son, heed the words we pray
Deliver us from evil this day
Deliver us from evil today
Deliver us from evil . . . we pray!


2. WINTER TEARS

The morning woke, the day was breakin'' . . . she left me far behind
She was gone, I couldn''t take it . . . no more tears to cry.

We gathered ''round her place of resting, for the last goodbye
She lay in white like a dream unending, the saddened clouds they cried . . .

Tears for all the joy we had
Tears for all the pain
All the years I have to live
These winter tears, I''ll cry for you until we meet again

You gave me life, you gave me lovin''
Showed me what love could bring
And every night when I think about you
I begin to sing . . .

Tears for all the joy we had
Tears for all the pain
All the years I have to live
These winter tears, I''ll cry for you until we meet again

Tears for all the joy we had
Tears for all the pain
These winter tears I have inside
Will always cry your name.
The years I have to live . . .
These winter tears, I''ll cry for you until we meet again


3. CHILD OF THE DAMNED

You made me see right past myself
Well beyond my fears
Realized I''m synchronized
Far beyond my years
I''m so geared into them
I serve unto their souls
Now that I''m addicted
My hunger only grows

I''m a child of the damned
I follow where I go
Rigging to the cross
As holy as a whore!
I''m just a child of the damned

Witches'' coven the time is come
For those sabbatical years
Revelation is the message
For all in all to hear
Prophets slayed mankind arrayed
Into a mass submission
Evil''s here and the lord of hell
Gives you the proposition!

I''m a child of the damned
I follow where I go
Rigging to the cross
As holy as a whore!
I''m just a child of the damned

Give away your life''s goals
Your meaning and ambition
It means nothing to you
After all it''s superstition!
Do not be afraid
The world is near the end
Is it better to rule in hell,
Than it is to serve in heaven?

I''m a child of the damned
I follow where I go
Rigging to the cross
As holy as a whore!
I''m just a child of the damned.


4. PENNY FOR A POOR MAN

He was once a younger man, just like you and I
But times have changed for this old man, the story makes you cry

Now the nights are getting colder, can you lift a hand
Soon to die, I''m growing older, help me if you can

Just a penny for a poor man
A poor man, yes I am . . .
Just a penny for a poor man

An honest man with a heart of gold, stricken by his luck
All alone, not a single friend, and no one to love

If you had no food or shelter, just a place to stand
Would you ask for some assistance, would you need a hand?

Just a penny for a poor man
A poor man, yes I am . . .
Just a penny for a poor man

Will he live until tomorrow, or will he die today?
Can you feel the grief and sorrow that this song portrays?

Now you say you are a rich man, well show us what you have!
If your heart holds any riches, lend a helping hand . . .

Just a penny for a poor man
A poor man, yes I am . . .
Just a penny for a poor man
Just a penny for a poor man
A poor man, yes I am . . .
Just a penny for a poor man


5. BLACK MASS

On the eve of tribulation
Before the morrow''s wrath
It was then that the covens gathered
For the final black mass!
The moon it was full
And the time had come for us all
The sun it was gone
And the people awaited their call
The devil was there
With the fire burning in the air
The demons they danced
And drank from the chalice they shared
Nobody cared!

Now the evil of man
Had passed by the act of lucifer's kiss
And the evil broke loose
From the tombs of hell''s fiery abyss
The devil was there
With the fire burning in the air
The demons they danced
And drank from the chalice they shared

Now the prince knelt down
For communion of the time that he fast
And the father he blessed
His child with the blood of the black mass!
Black mass!


6. LUCIFER'S HAMMER

It comes through the heavens, on a mission from hell
A force of destruction, that nothing can repel
A story is born that no one will live to tell

The obliteration of man, now encased in its shell
At the push of a button, we all will go to hell
Who will be left to toll the funeral bell . . .

The hammer will fall on you!
The hammer will fall on you!

Devastation, destruction of all the nations
Annihilation, clouding of all the skies
Raise the dead from their graves, and throw in yourselves and hide

Save us - from ourselves
Save us - from ourselves
Save us - from ourselves
Save us - from ourselves
Save us . . .


7. MRS; VICTORIA

Mrs. victoria
As I laid my head to rest, my grandmother she said.
I have for you a fairy tale of a friend I knew so well.

The story that I tell you, is as close as you can feel.
So close your eyes and go to sleep, I''ll make your dreams come real.

There was a boy just like you, a handsome lad he was.
He never played with the other children, he was the only son.
His father and his mother, spoiled him with toys.
His grandmother, she was a witch, a scare to little boys.

They called her mrs. victoria
The little girls and boys their stories told ya
On Halloween the children didn''t dare
They knew behind the door there was a scare

He went to school just like you, he never missed a class
But all the other children, they made fun of him and laughed
His teacher she felt sorry for him, put him above the rest
But all his mates they beat and bruised him, called him the teacher''s pet

They called her mrs. victoria
They didn''t like her grandson so they showed her
They beat him up before an after school
To all the kids he was the fool of fools

His name was johnny just like yours, a lonely boy he''d been
He knew his grandma was the reason why he had no friends
All the children hated her, they hated this young boy
He thought that he would kill her, he was ready to destroy

Her name was mrs. victoria
He stabbed her in the back, the blood poured from her
Now johnny lives alone, he has no problems or no pain
Inside an asylum, for the insane.


8. LOST AND LONE DAYS

She came to me I thought i found her
The girl of all my dreams
And until then I did not know what
Happiness could bring
We laughed we cried side by side
The summers turned to years
But winter came the skies have greyed
From happiness to tears

She said she would never leave me
Never let me go
But now she's left with me this feeling
So sad and so alone
She went away I tried to find her
I cried aloud her name
I realized it was goodbye
The heartache and the pain

Why did she go away and leave me with the heartache
Why did she leave me with the pain
If I could tell her so I'd tell her that I love her
And all my dreams have gone away
These lost and lonely days

If you could feel the way I feel about you
Hear the things I say
If you could see the way I am without you
These lost and lonely days


9. ALIENS

Through Pioneer 10 and Voyager 1
We've launched our knowledge to other suns
Aspiring and reaching for the highest of beings
We've lost our search for the world's basic needs

The aliens - inside our machines! the aliens - inside our dreams!
The aliens . . . the aliens, the aliens are here!

Through fiction and lies we gaze at the skies
For flying saucers and men with three eyes
Creating those monsters we seek to destroy
Like children at play smashing their toys!

The aliens - controlling our spheres! the aliens - so far yet so near!
The aliens . . . the aliens, the aliens are here!

All myths of men and gods will apply
When sanity and reason begin to die
The dragons you've denied and wish to slay
May rise to conquer us all someday!
The aliens - the message is clear!
The aliens - the aliens are here


10. BEGINNING / LUCIFER'S HAMMER

It comes through the heavens, on a mission from hell
A force of destruction, that nothing can repel
A story is born that no one will live to tell

The obliteration of man, now encased in its shell
At the push of a button, we all will go to hell
Who will be left to toll the funeral bell . . .

The hammer will fall on you!
The hammer will fall on you!

Devastation, destruction of all the nations
Annihilation, clouding of all the skies
Raise the dead from their graves, and throw in yourselves and hide

Save us - from ourselves
Save us - from ourselves
Save us - from ourselves
Save us - from ourselves
Save us . . .


11. LOST AND LONELY DAYS

She came to me I thought i found her
The girl of all my dreams
And until then I did not know what
Happiness could bring
We laughed we cried side by side
The summers turned to years
But winter came the skies have greyed
From happiness to tears

She said she would never leave me
Never let me go
But now she's left with me this feeling
So sad and so alone
She went away I tried to find her
I cried aloud her name
I realized it was goodbye
The heartache and the pain

Why did she go away and leave me with the heartache
Why did she leave me with the pain
If I could tell her so I'd tell her that I love her
And all my dreams have gone away
These lost and lonely days

If you could feel the way I feel about you
Hear the things I say
If you could see the way I am without you
These lost and lonely days

Now the prince knelt down
For communion of the time that he fast
And the father he blessed
His child with the blood of the black mass!
Black mass!


13. SOLILOQUY

I feel the pain inside my heart
Like a knife it tears me apart
My tears they shed I have no one
God, please tell me what i have done

I have no friends, no one who cares
Nobody with love they can share
They laugh at me! I don't know why!
I lock the door and i cry!

I see myself I am a man
Just like you and all of your friends
My heart so warm shattered like glass
Don't know how much longer I can last

I have no friends, no one who cares
Nobody with love they can share
They laugh at me! I don't know why!
I lock the door and I cry!

Alone again! I'm . . . alone again!
Alone again! I'm . . . alone again!
Well that's how it will be 'til the end.

So when I die no one will care
I ask you do you think that it's fair?
Soliloquy! well that's my plea
Won’t someone please believe in me?

I have no friends, no one who cares
Nobody with love they can share
They laugh at me! I don't know why!
I lock the door and I cry!

Alone again! I'm . . . alone again!
Alone again! I'm . . . alone again!
Well that's how it will be 'til the end.

Now that I'm addicted

18. HANDS AND FEET THUNDERCHILD'S FAREWELL

(Instrumental)


DISC 2

1. BATTLE OF THE LIVING DEAD

The morning has come with the dawn of the sun,
And the masses arise to the day.
They meet their despair in pointless travail,
Lost in the eyes of the world where death is the stage.

For Mammon they live, to themselves they will give,
Of treasure and gluttonous pride.
To self they bow down, they worship their crown,
Alive in the eyes of the world, but death lives inside.

Arise, my friends, arise!
The sword is the spirit of life,
Awaken your souls, that you may never die!
In the battle of the living dead


2. ENEMY MIND

Life, I know it so well
It's sorrow and tears and death
An abode of hell
My living hell . . .
Tomorrow I fear my breath
Will forever fail

Life, a moment in time
The years of a man they vanish
Into shades of night
The shades of night . . .
I fear my soul will be banished
To the realm of sighs

And who will descend to show me the light?
And who will remember me in my plight?

The sins of the soul will rise
The alien lie is in you
Forever you will fight
The enemy mind within you
Lie . . . in the fields where carrion dine

We are the enemy mind
We are thee, enemy mind
We are thee, enemy . . . mind!


3. INVADERS

We descend from the belt of orion
Our life-giving star has come to an end
Civilization is dying
We deem to survive, we search for a land
And we've explored the galaxies
There is just one place we can live and breathe
So we will overthrow the race of man
His way of woe and hate command

We are Invaders from afar, a dying star
Arise and see, the earth in ashes . . .

We sail through the system Solaris
With thousands of ships in the speed of the light
Hail to our leader we cherish
Our weapons of war prepared for the fight
And we are far beyond his years
Man is just nothing but a beast, atomic spears
So we will make this earth our home, our sphere
This is our destiny so near

Through solemn war, our race it must survive
Yet with remorse, the race of man must die
Through laser forces, with humans we collide
There is no hope for mankind to survive.

We are invaders from afar, a dying star
Arise and see, the earth in ashes . . .
We are invaders from afar, a dying star
Arise and see, the earth in ashes . . .


4. WINDS OF THOR

It was a darkened day december,
I heard the hammer in the wind
It was a day we will remember,
For the winds of thor their story would begin.

For you are the rich man, and we are the poor
You have the power, but the force we have will blow Forever more.
Winds of thor, winds of thor . . .

Now you've come to our village,
And you've taken all that we have.
And your king sends his brigades,
To take our lives and lead us to our deaths.

For you are the mighty, and we are the low
You have the power, but the force we have will roar Forever more.
Winds of thor, winds of thor . . .

The warships of odin have landed,
The thunders of thor have sounded,
And now you will fall in the valley of tears . . .

We will invoke the mighty winds of thor
We will invoke the mighty winds of thor
We will invoke the mighty winds of thor
We will invoke the mighty winds of thor


5. WAR IN HEAVEN

They rise from this fiery region,
On dragon-like wings, by thousands they've come to war.
And dark are the seraphic legions,
With armor and shield, they raise their flaming swords.
In the name of the archangel lucifer
The legions hath come, to divide and to conquer
Thy kingdom, thy power, thy throne,
The seraphic legions they goe . . .

The celestial armies of heaven,
Descend from the sovereign's sky forth god's command.
And lo, michael with sword in hand,
He leads the lordian guard to slay to damn.
In the name of the almighty father,
The angels hath come to cast out the legions
Forever, to the infernal realm,
From heaven to hell . . .

On chariots of thunder and lightning,
On lordian steeds the angels smite their foe.
And the seraph they fall to destruction,
As the hounds and the carrion of hell feast on their Corpse.
Now lost is the archangel lucifer,
Who thought in his mind, he could rise to empyrean dominion
'Til fate was his foe,
The will of god his woe . . .


6. MY NAME IS MAN

My name is man, from dust I stand,
A newborn song, a story.
Upon this land, almighty hands,
Hath filled my eyes with glory.
The life I breathe, a force unseen,
Reveals all that I am . . .
My name is man, my name is man, my name is man . . .

Behold the crystal rivers feed the oceans
Celestial sphere of solar fire drinketh from the sea
And the fountains in the sky pour life on every seed.

Behold the womb of earth brings forth the mountains
The canyon walls so grand they stand, before the valley Floor,
And the face of land and sea, they meet on seven shores

We are earth, we are heaven
We are flesh, we are blood
We inherit thy kingdom
We are all, we are one . . .

We are earth, we are heaven
We are flesh, we are blood
We inherit thy kingdom
We are all, we are one . . .


7. LUCIFER'S HAMMER

It comes through the heavens, on a mission from hell
A force of destruction, that nothing can repel
A story is born that no one will live to tell

The obliteration of man, now encased in its shell
At the push of a button, we all will go to hell
Who will be left to toll the funeral bell . . .

The hammer will fall on you!
The hammer will fall on you!

Devastation, destruction of all the nations
Annihilation, clouding of all the skies
Raise the dead from their graves, and throw in yourselves and hide

Save us - from ourselves
Save us - from ourselves
Save us - from ourselves
Save us - from ourselves
Save us . . .


8. SONS OF A DREAM

We are the pen, we are the mind, we are keepers of the Light,
We are the fools, we are the free, we are sons of a dream.

I dream about a season
I sleep inside a place where I am free - and wandering.
I roam the deepest canyons
I soar the highest skies that I might see - my fantasies.

I am the seed of a vision
I am the one who forsees
I pray the world will remember, some day the world will Believe . . .


I live inside your reason
I breathe your thoughts, I speak what's not to be - Reality.
I'm free, yet I'm in prison
I'm tame but cannot fly with broken wings - my fate will Be.

I am the seed of a vision
I am the one who forsees
I pray the world will remember, some day the world will Believe . . .

We are the pen, we are the mind, we are keepers of the Light,
We are the fools, we are the free, we are sons of a dream.
We are the pen, we are the mind, we are keepers of the Light,
We are the fools, we are the free, we are sons of a dream.


9. ACHILLES REVENGE

As time marches back to infinity
I behold in my eyes
That this land of serenity
Once was a furnace of fire.
At swords, were the gods of the heavens
For the plight of the city of troy
And for years, did the warriors do battle
For the fight of the helen of troy

He was the mighty achilles
He sought the glory of war
In the heat of fighting and killing
He bought the blood of his enemies, with his sword
He stole their breath, giving them the grave as their Reward

He was the mighty achilles
He slaughtered legions at war
With the speed of lightning and zeal
He carved his name, forever into books of lore
An immortal legend - helmet, shield, and sword

Commend the dead who fought and bled upon the fields
And bury them with honors, swords and shields
Remember them they could not fend in the end
In the face of achilles' anger, his revenge.

Hail to the one! to the king of the dead in acheron
In his shadow we fade, we are lost in his name.
Hail to the one! to the king of the dead in acheron
In his shadow we fade, we are lost in his name.
Hail to the one!


10. LOST AND LONELY DAYS

She came to me I thought i found her
The girl of all my dreams
And until then I did not know what
Happiness could bring
We laughed we cried side by side
The summers turned to years
But winter came the skies have greyed
From happiness to tears

She said she would never leave me
Never let me go
But now she's left with me this feeling
So sad and so alone
She went away I tried to find her
I cried aloud her name
I realized it was goodbye
The heartache and the pain

Why did she go away and leave me with the heartache
Why did she leave me with the pain
If I could tell her so I'd tell her that I love her
And all my dreams have gone away
These lost and lonely days

If you could feel the way I feel about you
Hear the things I say
If you could see the way I am without you
These lost and lonely days
