1. HELL EXPRESS

The sleep of Death is here
It’s time to meet your Maker
On board of Hell Express
No time to sad goodbyes
Are these tracks hellbound
Or do they go to Heaven?
Mists of uncertainty
Will cover up your eyes

[Chorus:]
No one knows where they will go
Gathered souls in torment
Pick up speed along these tracks
I can see – Hell Express!

The whistle calls on board
It’s invitation only
No ticket needed here
Your journey is decreed
You see your journeys end
The train has reached the station
As Satan waits for you
To pay for sins and greed

[Chorus] (x2)


2. STANDING STILL

There is nowhere to hide
The dice of fate has been thrown
The fear you feel from inside
Is a fear you face alone
Don’t know how you got there

Who said life would be fair?
When it shatters all your dreams
Thrown around by madness
Then you turn to sadness
When nothing’s what is seems

When you think you’ve lost the will
You fear the race is standing still

You cannot hide from yourself
Your conscience calls from within
Put your fears on the shelf
So your life can begin

Got to keep on trying
Lose your fear of dying
Self-belief is what you need
Price comes after a fail
Winning makes you stand tall
With a will to succeed

When you summon up the will
The race, no longer standing still


3. RISE

Don’t live your life with compromise
Seeing the truth that’s in disguise
Walking yourself, open your eyes
And only then you’ll recognise
Wasting your life, the time just flies
Linked to the past, Eternal ties
But when you lie the future dies
Then you will see it’s all just lies

Look to the skies, it’s time to rise!

Protect yourself, word to the wise
Tacking the lows, as well as highs
Dodging around, avoid the knives
Then you can claim the final prize
Breaking the chains, we have to try
Listening close, you’ll hear the sighs
Seeing what dirty money buys
Cos only then you’ll see the lies

Look to the skies, it’s time to rise!

Listening to all the rhetoric,
Something about taking your pick
Cos all around pollution’s thick
As you can see, the World is sick
Extinction comes, the clock just ticks
Enough is enough, it’s took the kicks
A fragile mosaic is Nature’s trick
And we must learn to save it quick

Look to the skies, it’s time to rise!

Rise, Rise, Rise, Rise


4. TRAITOR’S GATE

Full of grief and anger
Tearing friends apart
Your paranoid behaviour
Ate away your heart
Is everyone against you?
You struck and then you hid
Absolute rejection
For all the things you did

Self-praising, Hell raising
Back stabbing, cash grabbing

You leave your poison letters
Hatred in your mind
It all came back to haunt you
You’ve been paid in kind
No one will work with you
They know you oh so well
You’re sad and no one needs you
You can go to Hell

Low flier, total liar
Truth hater, you traitor

You take my words
And make them your own
It counts for nothing
When you’re all alone
You’ve come and gone
You know it’s too late
I see you standing
At traitor Gate

You, lying, cheating, scheming,
Backstabbing bastard


5. EXCESSIVE FORCE

You want to live your life your way
Well that’s ok, I won’t complain
Deep inside, I have to say
You’re full of hurt and full of pain
Always fighting with those around you
Why don’t you come up with something new
You’ll never change, you can’t continue
Like a rebel without a clue
Running blind with no direction
Let destruction take its course
Feel the weight of demolition
Taking pride in excessive force

Excessive force

She’s forced to live her life in pain
It’s such a shame, she don’t complain
She has to take it every day
She cries all night, it’s just his way
He comes home and beats her senseless
Broken bones, she’s black and blue
No fight left, she’s so defenceless
He’s a rebel without a clue
Marriage vows so very sacred
Richer, poorer or for worse
All the love has turned to hatred
Getting used to excessive force

Excessive force

The Nation’s Price, That great divide
Watching forces, off to war
No one knows for what they’re fighting
Senseless conflict, tooth and claw
Tension rise across the Nation
Religious hatred at its source
Pride’s at stake for every Nation
War is pure excessive force

They rule their live; it’s just their way
They have no say, they don’t complain
They follow orders every day
No questions asked, it’s just insane
Waging war against oppression
Same old tale, it’s nothing new
Why does war cause such depression?
We’re all rebels without a clue
Whose finger rests upon the trigger?
Missiles launched with no remorse
Your weapon’s big, but mine is bigger
Is there an end to aggressive force?

Excessive force


6. ESCAPE FROM THE VILLAGE

I resigned today, I’ve nothing left to say
When I awoke, it all seems strange
It all seems the same, but when I look again
My window view has all been changed
I’m in The Village, they call me number 6
They try to break, liberty and freewill has gone
They want information, you’ll never know who is number 1

No escape from here, they tap into your fears
Danger and Schizoid Man
No one holds a key, they let you think your free
I will resist, I know I can
I am waiting, I’m planning my escape
I’m not a number, I’ve got no free time to kill
I am a free man and you won’t bend me to your will

I’ll escape from The Village
Back to where I was before
I’ll escape from The Village
You won’t keep me here no more

What do you want?
We want information!
You won’t get it
By hook or by crook… we will!

I am waiting, I’m planning my escape
I’m not a number, I’ve got no free time to kill
I am a free man and you won’t bend me to your will

I’ll escape from The Village
Back to where I was before
I’ll escape from The Village
You won’t keep me here no more

I’ll escape from The Village
Back to where I was before
I’ve escaped from The Village
Cos I’ve broken down the door

I am not a number, I’m a free man…
Be seeing you!


7. EYES OF THE WORLD

You laugh at me because I’m different
I pity you, you’re all the same
Can we see
What we should be?

If we try, we can make a difference
It’s not too late to show that you care

[Chorus:]
If I could, I would heal all your sorrows
No more tears, you’re as free as a bird
Live in hope, you can change your tomorrows
As seen by the eyes of the World

We try to save the lives of millions
When Nature has lost control
End all fear
The thunder’s roar is drowned by silence
We search for truth to ease the pain
The World will cry
As children die

Unite the World so we can give them
The dignity to face another day

[Chorus] (x3)


8. CALM WATERS

(Instrumental)


9. DESOLATION ANGEL

Lightning streaks a blackened sky
The Angel stands alone
While mortals sing a lonely song
The Jester’s on his throne
Crucified by Man
Catch me if you can
The Devil’s won the race

Desolation Angel
Hurtful, hateful
Desolation Angel

Desolation Angel
Killing, crying
Desolation Angel
Willing, dying

The Angel walks upon crushed souls
No one to right the wrongs
The evil that men always do
To help defeat the strong
Crucified by Man
Catch me if you can
The Devil’s won the race

Desolation Angel
Hurtful, hateful
Desolation Angel

Desolation Angel
Facing, fighting
Desolation Angel
Racing, striking

The Beast comes from the Gates of Hell
To gather tortured souls
His number plain for all to see
As Satan claims the World

Desolation Angel
Loving, crying
Desolation Angel
Hoping, flying

Desolation Angel
On the cover of my paper loves everyone!


10. SILENT SCREAM

Footsteps in the night, they seem to follow
You spin around, you’re all alone
I wonder what it is that you’re thinking
Sudden sound that hunt you down and chill you to the bone

[Chorus:]
All the things that you hold dear
Who is left to hold you near?
Only me, I hear your silent scream
You’ve lost the things that you hold dear
No one’s left to hold you near
Only me, I hear you silent scream

Gripped with fear, your heart is beating faster
I am playing games with your mind
Terrified, you run so much faster
There’s no escape,
It’s getting late and now you’re running blind

[Chorus]

You hear my footsteps growing ever louder
You slip and fall, afraid this is the end
You look up into the eyes of Evil
A glint of steel, before the kill, brings it to an end

All the things that you hold dear
Who is left to hold you near?
Only me, I hear your silent scream
You’ve lost the things that you hold dear
No one’s left to hold you near
Only me, I hear you silent scream
You cannot run, you’re in a dream
I cannot wait to hear your silent…


11. JECKYL AND HIDE

There’s a rage that burns inside of me
I fear that when he is me, he won’t wanna come down
I know that the serum sets him free
He’s the darker side of me, he’s Mr Hyde

[Chorus:]
Here comes Mr Hyde, a demon in disguise
Say hello to Mr Hyde, there’s fire in his eyes
You’ll hear Mr Hyde walking in the rain
You’ll fear Mr Hyde, he’s the name of your pain

He tries to reverse the Master role
He’s devoid of human soul, he’s destroying my mind
Before his insanity takes it’s toll
I must try to seize control from Mr Hyde

[Chorus]

I want this Hell to end, I can’t recall
What I must do to keep me sane
I only wish that I could end it all
And never be that monster again


12. HELL BENT FOR LEATHER

Seek him here, seek him on the highway
Never knowing when he'll appear
All await, engine's ticking over
Hear the roar as they sense the fear

Wheels! A glint of steel and a flash of light!
Screams! From a streak of fire as he strikes!

Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather

Black as night, faster than a shadow
Crimson flare from a raging sun
An exhibition, sheer precision
Yet no one knows from where he comes

Fools! Self destruct cannot take that crown
Dreams! Crash one by one to the ground

Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather

There's many who tried to prove that they're faster
But they didn't last and they died as they tried

There's many who tried to prove that they're faster
But they didn't last and they died as they tried

Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
