1. ONTO ME

Black is the night as I hear from the shore
Waves come in crashing, a thunderous roar
A sense of foreboding encompasses me
But still I proceed

Town sleeps uneasy as rumours abound
Of a perilous creature that moves without sound
And the local men claim that ye won't stand a chance
As soon as she sights you you're stricken in trance

When she speaks to you you'll freeze
You'll get weak, weak at the knees
As the fear grips you you'll plead
In for the kill, she's out to feed

I gather my courage, head into the night
Don't know what awaits me but I'm gonna fight
Yet somehow I sense my impending demise
As out of the darkness come looming those eyes

When she speaks to me I freeze
I get weak, weak at the knees
And a chill comes over me
In for the kill, she's onto me

When she speaks to me I freeze
I get weak, weak at the knees
And a chill comes over me
In for the kill, she's onto me


2. AEROPLANE BLONDE

Friday arrives
And she's heading into town for the night
Little floozy with a faux platinum shine
Yeah, she's gonna be a barfly tonight
And she's well upon her way

And they say
She'll go all the way

Aeroplane blonde, she's a wildcat on the take
Aeroplane blonde, and her rug don't match the drapes

To get the evening swing
You got to fill her up with tart fuel again
Up at the counter Johnny-No-Stars is buyin'
No denyin' they're a match made by Darwin
Now they're well upon their way

And they say
She'll go all the way

Aeroplane blonde, she's a wildcat on the take
Aeroplane blonde, and her rug don't match the drapes
Aeroplane blonde, gotta black box down below
Aeroplane blonde, and she's out to steal the show

Now it's time to dilute the gene pool
Little fool

Friday night and she goes down
Like the Titanic on her maiden voyage
Gonna sleep her way to the bottom

Aeroplane blonde, she's a wildcat on the take
Aeroplane blonde, and her rug don't match the drapes
Aeroplane blonde, gotta black box down below
Aeroplane blonde, and she's out to steal the show


3. NO ONE CARES

Why are you here and why not there
Why do you live, who will take care
About your life, about your race
One day you'll die without a trace

Why do you breathe, why do you walk
What is the end, is there a god
All these questions are killing you
Your world is empty and so are you

Who will guide you through the night?

No one's there when you're sad and all alone
You're on your own in your little cage
All you want is to get rid of the nightmares
Sad but true
My friend but no one cares

And no one cares about your name
'Cause you are just a human shame
Every day you die again
It's hard to be a lonely man

Who will be there when you cry?

No one's there when you're sad and all alone
You're on your own in your little cage
All you want is to get rid of the nightmares
Sad but true
My friend but no one cares

Who will be there when you die?

No one's there when you're sad and all alone
You're on your own in your little cage
All you want is to get rid of the nightmares
Sad but true
My friend but no one cares


4. STRAIGHT TO DISASTER

He came from far away to follow his dream
Long-haired Hessian with a genuine obsession with Metal
His brother in Rock and Roll, they're two of a kind
Together they hatched a plan, partners in search of crime

Cause when adventure calls you gotta follow

Straight to disaster, leave behind your sanity
Higher and faster, destination anarchy

City of angels behind, adventure ahead
South of the border they'll find
There's a price on their head
They're messin' with fate it's true for pure white gold
A story with no happy ending that had to be told

And when adventure calls you gotta follow

Straight to disaster, leave behind your sanity
Higher and faster, destination anarchy
Slave to a master who controls your destiny
Forever and after on a road to anarchy

Straight to disaster, leave behind your sanity
Higher and faster, destination anarchy
Slave to a master who controls your destiny
Forever and after on a road to anarchy


5. WILLOWS WEEPING

Young, just a child, but wise beyond your years
Born with the strength to overcome your fears
As the disease overcame your body
It took your breath but couldn't take your heart

Then he took you away, took you way too soon
But your soul will remain in the deeds that we do

Young, full of life, so many years remained
So many hopes and dreams where in your head
Cruel stroke of fate washed it all away
We stayed behind but won't ever be the same

Cause he took you away, left emptiness in your place
Another life washed away but it wasn't in vain
Cause your spirit remains though we hardly knew you
We will never forget, no we won't forget you

Willows are weeping cause now you're sleeping
You left too soon, much too soon

Willows are weeping cause now you're sleeping
You left too soon, much too soon


6. WRATH OF THE GODS

Too many years of war and fighting
Too many people have lost their lives
Every day we ask ourselves the question
Is it wrong, is it right

Kids are trained to be the perfect weapon
Destroy the heart of the enemy
There ain't no future for the country of this people
There ain't no chance for them to be free

They keep on fighting until the sun stops shining
And the world's in darkness forever more
They keep on fighting until the sun stops shining
And the other side will understand

You hear a gunshot on a Belfast morning
Another bomb down in Jerusalem
Tribes of Iraq don't accept their new leaders
It's just the oil and not the land

They keep on fighting until the sun stops shining
And the world's in darkness forever more
They keep on fighting until the sun stops shining
And the other side will understand

If you want peace, prepare for war
It's the only reason that they're living for

They keep on fighting until the sun stops shining
And the world's in darkness forever more
They keep on fighting until the sun stops shining
And the other side will understand


7. FIGHT ANOTHER DAY

Out in the cold all alone
Facing the world on your own
Show them you're strong
Afraid of no one

They'll try to keep you down
Be strong and hold your ground
You push them all away
Live to fight another day

They say you'd give up your rights
You're too scared to stand up and fight
Show them they're wrong
You'll bow to no one

They'll try to push you down
Be strong and stand your ground
You push them all away
Live to fight another day

They'll try to keep you down
Be strong and hold your ground
You push them all away
Live to fight another day

They'll try to push you down
Be strong and stand your ground
You push them all away
Live to fight another day


8. PRELUDE FATAL

(Instrumental)


9. PRINCE OF PERVERSIA

He was a hero, on a magic carpet he did ride
Like a blaze on the eastern sky
Fast as lightning, saber close upon his side
Valliant defender of love and pride

Magic man with healing hands
Wipe your pain away
Secrets lost to the desert sands
The man is here to stay

Come into his lair you'll see
Drugs and treatment all for free
Just a little favour is required
It doesn't take a word
Evil lurks beneath your skirt
A few more shots and all will be fine

Magic man with healing hands
Wipe your pain away
He will steal your innocence
Every night and day

He's called Prince of Perversia

Magic man with healing hands
Wipe your pain away
He will steal your innocence
Every night and day


10. CALL FOR INQUISITION

Hear them coming
My final hour has arrived
No chance of hiding
Hoping my spirit will survive

The stakes are burning bright
The wind blows hot tonight

Heed the call for inquisition
It saves the world from devil's hands
Lead us all to absolution
Salvation all across the land

I'm sick of torture
I'm ready to leave this world for good
Don't want to argue
Too tired to speak even if I could

Masses stare at me
As I see eternity

Heed the call for inquisition
It saves the world from devil's hands
Lead us all to absolution
Salvation all across the land

Heed the call for inquisition
It saves the world from devil's hands
Lead us all to absolution
Salvation all across the land


11. DON'T BELIEVE ANYMORE

A long time ago when I was a boy and it seemed
That all the world in my eyes was a simpler place
I was told black and white, good and evil abound all around
And then I had faith ...

Cause I alway believed what they told me
Relied on their words to console me
Innocence of youth could enfold me
Enclose me ...

Then as the years went by the world seemed to change
And the fears filled my mind that it won't be the same
It appeared that my eyes would be opened again, once again
But still I had faith ...

Cause I wanted to believe what they told me
Rely on their words to console me
But now I could see through my own eyes
Through the bold lies ...

And I came alive as I read
Drums of war seemed to sound in my head
Of sin and sorrow I read
From now on I decide my own fate

Now, now it's the end
No more, I won't pretend

Cause I don't wanna believe anymore
I won't be deceived cause I'm sure
I don't believe anymore
Anymore ...


12. THE MADNESS OF NERO

(Instrumental)


13. DAYS OF ANCIENT ROME

In the valley today
A pretty girl with a pseudonym
Earned a whole month's pay
Smiled at the camera, screwed a dozen men

And the hedons think
It will never end

But these are the ...

Last days of ancient Rome
See an empire fall, feel the tides, they turn
Last days of ancient Rome
And we'll play our song as the city burns

In the capital city
The emperor needs a doctrine
In the shadows pulling the strings
A mastermind with a grand scheme

Evil minds they sway feeble minds
We pay

And these are the ...

Last days of ancient Rome
See an empire fall, feel the tides, they turn
Last days of ancient Rome
And we'll play our song as the city burns

The natives are restless in Barbaria
So we'll send in our armies, they'll thank us later
But it can only end in mass hysteria
Cause the flesh is strong
But the soul is rotten to the core

And the flames will rage
At the end of days

Cause these are the ...

Last days of ancient Rome
See an empire fall, feel the tides, they turn
Last days of ancient Rome
And we'll play our song as the city burns


14. WASTING AWAY

Spent our lives together and never
Had a doubt that you were the one for me
Thought it would last forever and ever
It was meant to be

Never gave a second thought
How it would end but now in your place there's a
An empty space and the willpower fades
Just zo carry on

Through all these years as time went on
Nothing could separate us cause we were one
But now you're gone and the days drag on
Til the twilight comes

The body fails but the spirit sings
Flesh is weak but the yearning's strong
Our time is coming as the light grows dim
Now it won't be long because ...

Day by day I'm wasting away
On the other side we'll reunite

Heaven is calling
Calls me to you
I hear you calling
I'll follow you ... to the other side

Day by day I'm wasting away
In the end we'll meet again
