1. BLINDMAN'S RUN

Prison breakout man on the loose
Nowhere to run,What will I do ? What will I do ?
Sirens are blaring,hounds on the scent
There's no turning back for no one will hear my repent.Repent

Shots from behind me seek out my last breath
With each step I run from another stays close to my path
Unssen behind me in the black of the night
I know they're still out there,I keep running but only from sight
Will they catch me by light ?

Caught in a spiral with no end in sight
To run to the end or die if I fight
The sky had no bars but still locks out freedom
For those on the run their hearts are still trapped

Weakened from running blood spills from my side
No time to stop now less time to lay daown & die
To pray I shall die
Asleep for one moment then awake from sleeps trap
The sweat keeps me cold & in fear of the wrath
My body is torn from the blindness of night
My trail is my legacy that leads to my end

Far from the prison I've chased freedom's kiss
I sthere life beyond here or nothing that I'll never miss ?
Now on the outside the hunt never ends,till that day they find me
There's no place to call home again,but only the Pen

No place to turn to I'm trapped here outside
When you can't see them coming there's no place to hide


2. KINGS IN HELL

Here in my kingdom I rule over men who serve at my will
Killers & stealers,the rich & deprived,Till I've had my fill
This is a world that I'll only know for the rest of my days
For except on the bars on my window there are few better ways

There's no justice in hell or on earth
But we ride out for all that it's worth

Is it better to serve than to rule in a hell that locks out the light ?
For Satan has God & I must bow down when the guards are in sight
Alive I'm a poor man & dead I'm a king,yes it's always the way
And each of us fights for the right to the throne to
survive the next day

I'm a slave in my paradise lost
For to rule then my freedom's the cost
Are my far greater days just ahead
Or am I just a fool easily lead ?

Here within this hell
Men's souls I own would have me dead
Before their eyes they see
Is a world that holds too many kings that take & break the young
Who will live to see these prison walls

I can't believe what has happened to me & my power possessed
For I'd give it away for my freedom again no more or no less
I've taken away & gave nothing back,I was wrong now I see
But now here I stay & I'm fading away from life's memory

How many more lives can I spend ?
For you can't take them all in the end
Now there is no one to answer my call
For they know when they laugh I will fall

Hear the stories of Kings in Hell
Each man here has a song to tell
Just fade away...
Just fade away...


3. BAD CITY

Here I am in the city again the town that I call home
Where everything becomes larger than life;out here you're on your own
Crowds of people rushing on the downtown street
Towers renting outward where both land & sky meet
Pickpockets getting rich on the subway train
I'm looking forward to the night happening

Bad City you know the place
Bad City you never have to wait
Bad City it's rich & it's fun
I'm looking out for number one

Women of the night wave the cars go by
A couples of drinking winos sitting under the street light
Gangs are running down all the back alley lots
While the dealers are being booked by the under cover cops

Bad City you know the place
Bad City you never have to wait
Bad City it's rich & it's fun
I'm looking out for number one
Bad City here I come

See the scandal cover papers feeding you the disease
Cigar selling call girls imposing acts of sleaze
Dangerous ruthless killers with a penthouse view
This a city for me,is it a city for you ?

People pushing forward of what evil lurks ahead
The rich are looking lively the poor looking dead
If I can't interest you in staying then I must be insane
I now know how you got your name

Bad City you know the place
Bad City you never have to wait
Bad City it's rich & it's fun
I'm looking out for number one
Bad City here I come


4. THE MOTHERLODE

Old man in his craziness
Searches in his loneliness
Wanting to find the unborn mine

A he - man standing broad & wide
Fierce some looking through one's eyes
He sets his heart on the search

Then one day in the early morn
Strangers appear at his door
Now he joined by two

He tells them of a miner's tale
An ancient map,a covered trail
Now the lives of three have been changed

For the Motherlode from below

Now rage boils in his veins
In the wooded mountains it rains
Upon the strangers he lurks to kill

The miner lives his tale in irony
He is not what he appears to be
Luckily the youth escaped with their lives

And hard breathing miles down
Unearthed is the emerald crown
That's beauty could hypnotize a man

The more he finds the more he wants
The mesmerizing mystique haunts
Unknowing,now the miner think's he's found his dream

Of the Motherlode down below


5. RACING THE DAWN

The word is out now the message is clear
That vengeance is keen on the minds of all here
To kill off our rivals for wasting our own
And the time is ripe now for the night hides our fear

Prepare for on horseback on foot & by sea
The night waits for no man as day will soon be
We cannot be heard,we cannot be seen
The sun is against us,the night is our screen

For now with no light as our guide,like no faith by our side
We lose ourselves in the dark

The dawn begins to rise from the black plains below
Warriors in stance as they wait for a word
Times running short for this battle for pride
How much longer will the dark take our side ?

And now the moment is here,our glory is near
These forces of evil can't win

The sky blackens our faces
Chills race through our veins
Brought into the morning
We are born once again

The high sign is given the flight has begun
No longer to cower from the glare of the sun
Steel whispers sadness from the sheath which it's drawn
To race under twilight,now we're racing the dawn

Fight for our lost ones
Cast out from the light
But when blood flows from others
It's all gray at night

Over the landscape the shadows race back
Our fears are all real,now they see our attack
The cowards have fled,now our numbers are less
And the sun shows indifference though we plead in distress

And soon the battle will end,& the night comes again
And our faith in the darkness,our faith in the darkness will end


6. GLORY BOUND

Here how the men frightened when faced
With the return of Lucifer's smiling face
Tempt me,Oh the Devil you are
You bring me offerings but you can't lead me afar

Touch me,you show me things unreal
The mutiny of angels is what you feel
Come with me & you shall turn to rule
Take my hand & pass the valley of fools
See the people open their eyes
They open their hearts & are swallowed with lies
Are you now - Is life so alive ?
Do the mysteries of dreams become answered
Just look in my eyes

The tempter fails & I shall prevail
Stand tall & look around
And somehow we will piece together
As we all become Glory bound

They say that the lost ones stay lost in their fears
My heart reaches to shed a tear
Battle the unknown through a journey yo embark
If only to break away from the dark
You cannot fool me with illusions of pain
I hail from the thunder where angels remain
If sorrow is all I wll see in the end
Then I will raise my hand to be born again

The tempter fails & I shall prevail
Stand tall & look around
And somehow we will piece together
As we all become Glory Bound

Now here I sleep just a fragment of me
As life turns it's pages on my Destiny
The morning cries & The Reaper will call
But the face of the shadow seems only to fall
With the coming of the moon in the autumn day chill
The powers of evil will shatter & spill
In my awakening I had seen lines of my past
Now I sense my soul will last

The tempter fails & I shall prevail
Stand tall & look around
And somehow we will piece together
As we all become Glory Bound

8. WHEN COWARDS DIE

When your fortune's brought you pain & sorrow
Shedding shadows on your life
When there's suddenly no tomorrow
But just the things that passed you by

When you lock yourself away from lovers
Empty bottles cast to sea
And still surrounded by the land & water
But you could never touch & be

When you turn your back on those who need you
Feeling nothing by your side
A thousand lives are yours,but heed their warning
You shall die a thousand times

Now you can't run away from we who know you
We cast a cold light on your eyes
You turned a stone ear to tears of torture
A thousand times a coward dies

Ancient distant lands that cannot harm you
You feel their time has passed them by
And so you muddle through the gray & normal
You'll never hear your people cry

And when there suddenly is no tomorrow
But just our fragments laid to waste
And kick the wedges from below our holdings
As all our evils fall from grace

When we divide all into dead & living
And place a price upon our heads
Then soon our souls cascade into the fire
And cleanse the lifeless from the dead
