1. SEARCH & SEIZURE

Up in the morning, feeling alive
Not in the mood for ordeals
Get in my car just to go for a ride
Another day at the wheel

Bang into third
Tachometer rises to 3000 RPM
Look into the rear view mirror and lo and behold
Oh fudge, not again

Search and seizure
Search and seizure

What does he want me for?
What did I do?
I never break any laws
The lights are flashing
The sirens scream
My heart hits a moment of pause

I pull to the side
He pulls up behind
The moment of truth is not far
With his gun drawn and expressionless eyes
He says “Wanna step out of the car?!”

Search and seizure
Search and seizure

Out on bail, back in my home
I think I’ll hang in tonight
They can’t touch me behind these walls
It’s there I’ll be safe tonight

Quarter past four
A knock at the door
I wonder who could be there
“It’s New Jersey’s finest, you’re under arrest
Come with us, longhair!”

Search and seizure
Search and seizure
Search and seizure
Search and seizure


2. PUNISHMENT AREA

Leaves of green do not exist
Just those condemned to death
Don’t complain or shake your fist
Your life is up at best

[Spoken:]
Warning: You have just entered the punishment area
Here you will pay for all the anguish you have put others through
During your life here on earth
There will be no hope and no relief
Only discomforts exists in hell

You have just entered the Punishment Area
And I promise you will not come back
You cannot depend on me to take care of you
Life as you once knew has turned to...

Darkness fills up my soul
Please, help me now, dear God
Free to be, but not to choose
No second chance, too late

You have just entered the Punishment Area
And I promise you will not come back
You cannot depend on me to take care of you
Life as you once knew has turned to...

Sin is a price that you must pay
It hears not what you have to say
You are trash
It throws you away

So if you have the deep desire
To spend your afterlife in fire
Do what you wish until you die

Sin is a price that you must pay
It hears not what you have to say
You are trash
It throws you away

You have just entered the Punishment Area
And I promise you will not come back
You cannot depend on me to take care of you
Life as you once knew has turned to...


3. SICK BASTARD

The girl was screaming
Go leave me alone
She was only 5 years old
She had done no wrong

Her mother had told her
Don’t talk to men
She’d ignored her advice
Never seen again

Sick bastard
Sick bastard

80 year old woman
Lying in her bed
Someone crept into her room
Left her for dead

He slashed her face
He broke her arm
Now in intensive care
Lying nearly dead

Sick bastard
Sick bastard

Why does he do it?
Is he insane?
Just what’s going on
Inside his tiny brain?

Is he sick?
Does he know what he’s done?
One day they’ll catch him
Then we will see him burn

Sick bastard
Sick bastard

80 year old woman
Lying in her bed
Somebody broke into her room
Left her for dead

He cut her face
He broke her arm
Now in intensive care
In a hospital bed

Sick bastard
Sick bastard
Sick bastard
Sick bastard


4. BARBARIC JUSTICE

Standing at the edge of the chasm
Man is able to do anything
He has no self-control
He cannot restrain his drives

Depression brings evil thoughts
Depression engenders murder
Depression brings evil thoughts
Depression engenders murder

He ran afraid of the people
Knowing what would be happen if they got him
He could not defend himself
He did not know why he killed

And justice has prevailed
The culprit has been punished
Death was revenged with death
Crime triggered another crime

Death penalty
Legal murder
Death for death
Barbaric justice

Barbaric justice!
Barbaric justice!

No one looks for the guilty
And the guilty is only one
No one looks for the causes
It’s one way, death for the crime

And justice has prevailed
The culprit has been punished
Death was revenged with death
Crime triggered another crime

Death penalty
Legal murder
Death for death
Barbaric justice

Barbaric justice!
Barbaric justice!

Barbaric!
Barbaric!

Legal murder...


5. STEP BY STEP

Step by step it’s happening, it’s slowly eating you
Numbing your mind to the pain
You broke the rule, the payment’s cruel
Selfish road, you paved the way
Hiding in your fantasy, it’s easier to lie
The choice you made could kill
You’re just one lonely victim
A wasted life!

Don’t you feel as if your walls fall in?
The way you live could put you underground

Step by step, by step
Surviving hanging by a thread
Step by step, by step
It’s time to turn the table
Step by step, by step
Society’s not done with you
Step by step, by step
It just gets worse until you pull through!

Screaming out, you cry for love
They only toss you out, rejected, lost in a daze
It’s all so cold, do as you’re told
Hit your knees now start to pray
Dream about a time before, securely locked away
Within your heart is the key
If you don’t open up then...
You’ll lose your life!

Don’t you feel as if your walls fall in?
The way you live could put you underground

Step by step, by step
Surviving hanging by a thread
Step by step, by step
It’s time to turn the table
Step by step, by step
Society’s not done with you
Step by step, by step
It just gets worse until you pull through!

Deep inside you’re selfish and infected with desire
Filled your head with dreams that died
Just couldn’t get no higher
Look at what you’ve become, synthetic, morphite cyst
Your luck’s run out, the thread has snapped
A cold depressing end...

Don’t you feel as if your walls fall in?
The way you live could put you underground

Step by step, by step
Surviving, hanging by a thread
Step by step, by step
It’s time to turn the table
Step by step, by step
Society’s not done with you
Step by step, by step
It just don’t stop
Step by step, by step
Don’t try to run before you walk
Step by step, by step
Do it for yourself, kid
Step by step, by step
It’s just the way you have to learn
Step by step, by step, by step, by step
By step! By step! By step! By step! By step!
By step!


6. BLACK ‘N’ WHITES

Walking virtue models
It’s humanity’s end
Your irresistible charm
Longs for the splendor, fame

Power!
Control!

With hand suppressed, your lust
Aches for a new allure
So many of you
Rank up with God

Father from stars
Your servants serve you so poor
There are many traitors greedy for dough
Father from stars
They don’t treat you with respect
It isn’t good to follow your footsteps anymore

Black ‘n’ whites must be converted
Black ‘n’ whites must be converted


7. PREDATOR

Uncertain predators, unblinking eyes
Testing for resistance, waiting for the prey now
Soon to leave helpless then he will strike
Faltering victim will die

Wait! Waiting for the flight of life
Falling and plunder the prize
Teeth and claws separate the living flesh from the bones

Wait! Waiting for the flight of life
Falling and plunder the prize
No compassion predators will show

Patiently
Interminably
Waiting
Unseen

Dead eyes flicking in hungry sockets
A secret strategy
Immediate attack, a rush from the sky
Useless desperate cry

Wait! Waiting for the flight of life
Falling and plunder the prize
Teeth and claws separate the living flesh from the bones

Wait! Waiting for the flight of life
Falling and plunder the prize
No compassion predators will show
Will show!


8. CHAIN OF COMMAND

Pointed towers skyward bound
Missile control deep in the ground
Hooded figures start to walk
Huddle round afraid to talk

Subdued lighting, screaming alarms
This fortress has deathly charms
One man has the ultimate power
To decide the zero hour

Chain of command starts to rattle
Control is ready for battle
Warhead is screaming its joy
Down from the skies to destroy

Instigator
Sign on your back
Star the attack
No looking back

Instigator
Sign on your back
Star the attack
No looking back

Instigator
Sign on your back
Star the attack
No looking back

Instigator
Sign on your back
Star the attack
No looking back

People panic in the East
Cities crumble piece by piece
White hot metal, falling ash
When the super powers clash

Mushroom clouds in the sky
At last the world condemned to die
Acid dust burns your face
Signals the end of the human race

Chain of command starts to rattle
Control is ready for battle
Warhead is screaming its joy
Down from the skies to destroy

Instigator
Sign on your back
Star the attack
No looking back

Instigator
Sign on your back
Star the attack
No looking back

Instigator
Sign on your back
Star the attack
No looking back

Instigator
Sign on your back
Star the attack
No looking back


9. KILLING SPREE

To the world around he was the perfect person
Planning for an alibi, he then starts rehearsing
A human bomb just waiting to explode
This secret rage can’t be controlled

Slaughtered the dreams of others
One left to recover

Self-inflicted wounds
Life he has consumed

Planning a killing spree
Victim of a conspiracy?

Getting bored with his current life
Rearranging with a knife

Greed before despair, suspicion starts to grow
His life was spared for this he does not know
Screams filled the air, there was no way to help
The ones he mourns, he killed himself

Slaughtered the dreams of others
One left to recover

Self-inflicted wounds
Life he has consumed

Planning a killing spree
Victim of a conspiracy?


10. I SPIT IN YOUR FACE

Stone walls, the stench of graves
Dark vaults and hungry rats
The blasphemous roar of hell
The black flashes of torches

Black crows, souls of the dead
Buried at the dead of night
Without fear you’re awaiting their pranks
Because the cross is on your chest

You reign in the castle of death
Your eyes delight in tortures
Insane thoughts shake the fanatic’s body
Dragged by the power of your rules

I’m fettered in chains
Given to you for sacrifice
Insane demon’s thoughts
You say you fight for the good

That you are the Lord’s messenger
Blood from your wounds
Soaks the monk’s habit
In which you’ve clad your body

My body is trembling in pain
And thoughts cloud over torture
These are your hands holding the torches
Your arm is raising a whip

I spit in your face
I spit in your face
I spit in your face
I spit in your face

You have me, my oppressor
I yell as you want me yell
You have me, my oppressor
You have me

I spit in your face
I spit in your face
I spit in your face
I spit in your face

Blasphemy, dark truths
Which you’re forcing into my mouth
To sentence me to death
To accuse me of heresy

Who is he? In whose name
You inflict these horrible tortures?
You kill, set stakes on fire
You know, his name!

The beast’s fire burns in your eyes
When your mouth worships the supreme
Your Lord raises his hand with a whip
And sets fire to innocent bodies

I spit in your face
I spit in your face
I spit in your face
I spit in your face

You have me, my oppressor
I yell as you want me yell
You have me, my oppressor
You have me


11. LIVE LIKE AN ANGEL, DIE LIKE A DEVIL

Every night I’m in a different town
I’m the kind that likes to get around

Living fast, I’m on the run
I take my chances ‘cause I’ll only die young

Live like an angel, die like a devil
Got a place in hell reserved for me
Live like an angel, die like a devil
Gonna burn in hell that’s where I’m gonna be

I got no worries, I don’t care what I do
I’m gonna walk all over you

Loving hard and getting high
Hell’s the place I’m gonna die

Live like an angel, die like a devil
Got a place in hell reserved for me
Live like an angel, die like a devil
Gonna burn in hell that’s where I’m gonna be

You hear me coming, just get out of my way
I’m here tomorrow and I’m gone today

The path I’m heading, got no easy track
I got the devil riding on my back

Live like an angel, die like a devil
Got a place in hell reserved for me
Live like an angel, die like a devil
Gonna burn in hell that’s where I’m gonna be


12. THE BURNING OF SODOM

Once, the tale of Sodom brought anguish to the eyes
Of all god-fearing people with eternal afterlives
Sin and lust run rampant now, perversion on the rise
Reliving all the ways of old Gomorrah realized

Sodom, an unholy place, angels searched for a few
Souls who’d yet to fall from grace to save them from the doom
Paradise of pleasures lost, herein the future lies
Laughing at the “holy cross” as death rained from the skies

Falling from the heavens
Angels lie decayed
Burning, city of Sodom
One by one, sinners pay

Skeptics failed to heed the call of angels sent to tell
Of the impending death to all in blazing city hell
Consorting with the demons craft, the ways of god repelled
Burning cross, cause to laugh, Lot, the one expelled

Falling from the heavens
Angels lie decayed
Burning, city of Sodom
One by one, sinners pay

The sufferers’ impalement inside the city gates
Worshiping the holy priests, the masters of all hate
The flag of the inverted cross, menacing, held high
Laughing at the “holy cross”, at twelve, the virgin dies!

Our righteous family did escape, the family, father Lot
Sinful daughters succumbed to rape not as holy as thought
Mankind throughout eternity built on evils’ designs
The resilience of iniquity lives on in Christian minds

Falling from the heavens
Angels lie decayed
Burning, city of Sodom
One by one, sinners pay


13. I MEAN ACID

It’s not true, that I’m a drunkard
Even though mother damned a thousand times
It’s not true, that I’m ungrateful
But I’m not without a blemish too

It’s true, Jim has almost killed me
Even though he wasn’t my master
It’s true, I’m not afraid of acid
And I’d like everything right now

I mean acid!
Do you like it?!
I mean acid!
Do you like it?!

I want acid!

Somebody said that I’m a kid
And he was absolutely right
Somebody saw me mixin’ “Bloody Titus”
He said, “It’s not an attraction”

A drunk lady danced behind me
Naked in my black leather
I intended to fuck her as cold as stone
But I couldn’t, I got too much

I mean acid!
Do you like it?!
I mean acid!
Do you like it?!

I want acid!

And it’s true that I’m wicked
Even though they thanked me many times
It’s true that I’m a motherfucker
But I don’t feel any repulsion to myself

Hey you, don’t tell me, don’t even try
That fault is only mine
And don’t damn acid
It’s cheap and it kicks so well

I mean acid!
Do you like it?!
I mean acid!
Do you like it?!

I want acid!


14. BURIED ALIVE

Sun is going down
It will soon be getting dark
The spirits will be rising
Mischief throughout the park

Buried alive
Buried alive

Running through the graveyard
No time to retreat
Got you by the throat
Knock you down to your feet

Buried alive
Buried alive

Six feet under
You’re losing your breath
Suffocation
An agonizing death

Will he come up to get you?
Will he dig you out?
Open up the curtain
Oh my God!

Buried alive
Buried alive


15. TOMORROW WE DIE

A time will come, all eyes shall see
The coming of foretold prophecies
To eliminate all future pain
Horror is the price you pay
Realistic terror through the days
Evil minds bring evil ways
War after war of man and beast
Darkness prevails as death’s unleashed

Tribulation, cast in fire
Enter the ritual of life’s desire
Revelation laid to rest
Accept the wisdom, unholy test
Wear the mark, evil sign
Symbol of a darkened mind
Suicide or salvation
Blackened heart brings deception

Confusion, am I living or dying?
Searching for my fate left beyond
Survivor of a hell on earth
Descending, I’m waiting to burn

Judgement’s been passed, this day is the last
Fire from the heavens, the ultimate task
The beast shall rise out of the sea
Bringing forth words of blasphemy
Separation of powers of both by the law
Foretold by prophets in visions they saw
Out of the earth the second shall rise
Unsightly miracle, death shines in his eyes

Tomorrow we die
Feel the fire burn deep inside
No escape, no reprise
Tomorrow we die

Hypocrisy, the chosen few
Words of wisdom coming true
Abomination, once left to die
Millennium twice passed by
Supremacy, the final wrath
Clear the bloodstains from the past
Countless bodies, piles of dead
Mystery now looms ahead

A time will come, all eyes shall see
The coming of foretold prophecies
To eliminate all future pain
Horror is the price you pay
Realistic terror through the days
Evil minds bring evil ways
War after war of man and beast
Darkness prevails as death’s unleashed

Tomorrow we die
Feel the fire burn deep inside
No escape, no reprise
Tomorrow we die


16. MY OPEN MIND

No matter how I live my life
No matter which game I try to play
Their dark shadows smother my soul
Their eyes burning holes in my back

This is right!
That is wrong!
Follow the rules!

You won’t fight!
Not for long!
They’ll make you fall!

I have no answers
Only questions for these people
I don’t need guidance
I just want to keep my open mind

They patronize and vomit their rules
Leaving me with a storm in my brain
I have to solve this puzzle myself
With their guns softly tickling my neck

Can’t they respect my decision?
To interpret things my own way
And get out of my life forever
Just get out of my life

This is right!
That is wrong!
Follow the rules!

You won’t fight!
Not for long!
They’ll make you fall!

I have no answers
Only questions for these people
I don’t need guidance
I just want to keep my open mind

This is right!
That is wrong!
Follow the rules!

You won’t fight!
Not for long!
They’ll make you fall!

I have no answers
Only questions for these people
I don’t need guidance
I just want to keep my open mind

Just because I play by different rules
Doesn’t mean my way is wrong
Now you know the problem
You know why I wrote this song
