1. TRIAL BY FIRE

Accuse you of a crime
Sentenced to endless time
The price you have to pay
Won’t get away!
Sworn in by the stand
Your rights are gone
The system’s banned
They think you are a liar
A trial by fire!

Hey!
This is what the people say
A new way
A trial by fire!

Locked in an empty cell
Your life becomes a living hell
The river of fire flows
Time only knows!
Trapped by flames of fury
Ordered unto by the jury
Death is their desire
Thrown in the fire!

Hey!
This is what the people say
A new way
A trial by fire!

Quiver by the fiery light
Cringing as your soul ignites
The book of law’s been thrown away
Starting today!
The system before the war
Is gone for now and evermore
There is no sentence higher
A trial by fire!

Hey!
This is what the people say
A new way
A trial by fire!


2. ROAD MUTANTS

They didn’t used to be this way
In the beginning
Not to put up a front
It’s just the way they are
Enter the human race
But no one’s winning
You do what you can
This is what they believe

Road mutants crushing all
They rise while others fall
Road mutants crushing all
They rise while others fall
Laughing in your faces!

They smell like death
So hold your breath
Their skin starts to peel
Sucking moisture off the surface
Causing wounds that wait heal
In the night there is no light
The time is right to have fun
Perspiration is no question
When you’re caught by the sun

Crushing all!

You feel their presence miles away
You feel them coming
Not too quick to arrive
That’s their style
But when they finally hit the stage
There’s nothing left to say
The real world goes away
Escape for awhile

Road mutants crushing all
They rise while others fall
Road mutants crushing all
They rise while others fall
Laughing in your faces!

They smell like death so hold your breath
It’s time to get down
You can spot them from a distance
‘Cause they’re not from your town
The road mutants love to have a good time
When we’re gone you can’t erase the scar on your mind


3. SUFFER THE MASSES

The promise cast, the hopeful lured
Stabbing by the pointed words
Tortures of the damned you’ll find
Guilt preys upon the human mind

All you know and all you feel
Is all there is and all that’s real
Innocent told you’re a worthless pain
Eventually drives all insane

Bleak optimism gained
A lame excuse to hide the pain
Instinct stifled be ashamed
For what you feel is right and sane

Suffering
Told what you feel and need is wrong
When conflicting with the machine
The machine that’s run so long

Suffer the masses
Contradicting views inside
Suffer the masses
The personality divides
Suffer the masses
What’s told and what you know
Suffer the masses
Now, now the neuroses grows

Generations handed down
The false smile to hide your frown
Instinct stifled don’t be ashamed
For what you feel is right and sane

The promise cast, the hopeful lured
Stabbed by the pointed words
Tortures of the stabbed you’ll find
As guilt devours your broken mind

Suffering
Told what you feel and need is wrong
When conflicting with the machine
The machine that’s run so long

Suffer the masses
Contradicting views inside
Suffer the masses
The personality divides
Suffer the masses
What’s told and what you know
Suffer the masses
Now, now the neuroses grows


4. PRAYER FOR THE DYING

Taste of his pain rising slow from the counter
Smell of his memory now lost in his gaze
Test of his life as a prayer not a martyr
Young man he was now a mark on the door

Hail the light, the light of his idols
Like the one like another before
He stumbled for truth, he stumbled through blindness
The young man he was is now dead on the floor

Screaming lies out to the liars
We are the lives, we are the wars

Taste of his pain rising slow from the counter
Smell of his memory now lost in his gaze
Test of his life as a prayer not a martyr
Young man he was now a mark on the door

Hail the light, the light of his idols
Like the one like another before
He stumbled for truth, he stumbled through blindness
The young man he was is now dead on the floor

Screaming lies out to the liars
We are the lives

I see red like blood as I’m crossing the street
See the red of blood splattered on the sheet
See the blood of a life no longer there
The trace of a child, the sound of despair

Hear bottles clankin’, stankin’, shankin’
Turned upside down, empty, containing
No more love and no more laughter
No more joy and no more sadness

Kill the wound that’s part of social lies
Will the heroin take another life

Sounds of angels screaming in pain at the fallen
Echo in heaven brings tears to our eyes
Sounds of angels screaming in pain at the fallen
Echo in heaven bring tears to god’s eye

Say a prayer for the dying
Give the key to the blind man
Those who ask for forgiveness
Are the proof of their malice

Light the light of the scapegoat
Light the eye of the world
Give them hope, give them future
Give them all that you can


5. QUESTIONS

Why I am here? Why are you here?
Why is it that we don’t have much time?
What is my life? What is your life?
What’s it like on the other side?
Why I did grow up? Why did you slow up?
Why do I feel like I’ll never die?
I ask my mother, she tells another
All she does is lie

Why are you right? Why am I wrong?
Why is it that we should listen in turn?
Am I a baby? Or is it maybe?
I cannot be bothered to learn?

Why do I hate you? Why do I love you?
Why do you kiss me then say goodbye?
Do you feel good or in a bad mood?
Why do I thing that you are going to cry?
I ask your father although I’d rather
Be somewhere else because I hate his guts
I ask your sister, I wish I’d missed her
Because she’s a dirty slut

Why aren’t I wealthy? Why aren’t you healthy?
You only exercise your mouth to me
I wish you’d listen that I’m thinking
It seems to be an awful lot to me

I have no answers, have you the answers?
Is anybody going to answer that?
I hope that someday, maybe on Sunday
He’ll come and tell me why asked you that
The battered babies, the dogs with Rabies
The list it never seems to end
I ask no longer, why do I hunger?
These questions seem to drive me round the bend


6. ACE OF SPADES

If you like to gamble
I tell you I’m your man
You win some, lose some
All the same to me

The pleasure is to play
Makes no difference what you say
I don’t share your greed
The only card I need is the Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades

Playing for the high one
Dancing with the devil
Going with the flow
It’s all the game to me

Seven or Eleven
Snake eyes watching you
Double up or quit
Double stake or split
The Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades

You know I’m born to lose
And gambling’s for fools
But that’s the way I like it baby
I don’t wanna live for ever

And don’t forget the joker!

Pushing up the ante
I know you wanna see me
Read ‘em and weep
The dead man’s hand again
I see it in your eyes
Take one look and die
The only thing you see
You know it’s gonna be
The Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades


7. BADLANDS

I ride alone
The wasteland that I cross
Will take another life
We’ll take another loss
I feel a dry wind
Dust is in my eyes
The arctic cold at night
The earth, it tells me lies

God in heaven, my only friend
Will I live to see my journey’s end?

As the world awakens me so hard
My values have been changed
I make a promise to myself:
Never again

A dusty godforsaken path
Endless to my dismay
I know these are the badlands
Somehow I’ll find my way

No more paradise
No more soothing rain
All the sacrifice
The pain is all the same
Still I’m pushing onward
Alone I can’t deny
My presence fills the desert
My spirit never dies

Will these lonely nights ever end?
Will I live to see my journey’s end?

As the world awakens me so hard
My values have been changed
I make a promise to myself:
Never again

A dusty godforsaken path
Endless to my dismay
I know these are the badlands
Somehow I’ll find my way

The vultures that circle
Cloud the empty sky
Patiently waiting
They wait for me to die
Tortured and beaten
Blistered by the sun
Forceful and heartless
Have the badlands won?

Still I’m pushing onward
Alone I can’t deny
My presence fills the desert
My spirit never dies

As the world awakens me so hard
My values have been changed
I make a promise to myself:
Never again

A dusty godforsaken path
Endless to my dismay
I know these are the badlands
Somehow I’ll find my way


8. COWBOYS FROM HELL

Under the lights where we stand tall
Nobody touches us at all
Showdown, shootout
Spread fear within, without
We’re gonna take what’s ours to have
Spread the word throughout the land
They say the bad guys wear black
We’re tagged and can’t turn back

You see us comin’
And you all together run for cover
We’re taking over this town

Here we come, reach for your gun
And you better listen well my friend, you see
It’s been slow down below
Aimed at you we’re the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we’ve won
Ain’t talking no tall tales friend
‘Cause high noon, your doom
Comin’ for you we’re the cowboys from hell

Pillage the village, trash the scene
But better not take it out on me
‘Cause a ghost town is found
Where your city used to be
So out of the darkness and into the light
Sparks fly everywhere in sight
From my double barrel, 12 gauge
Can’t lock me in your cage

You see us comin’
And you all together run for cover
We’re taking over this town

Here we come, reach for your gun
And you better listen well my friend, you see
It’s been slow down below
Aimed at you we’re the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we’ve won
Ain’t talking no tall tales friend
‘Cause high noon, your doom
Comin’ for you we’re the cowboys from hell

Here we come, reach for your gun
And you better listen well my friend, you see
It’s been slow down below
Aimed at you we’re the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we’ve won
Ain’t talking no tall tales friend
‘Cause high noon, your doom
Comin’ for you we’re the cowboys from hell

Step aside from the cowboys from hell!


9. BLAZE SOME HATE

Blaze some hate!
Blaze some hate!
Blaze some hate!
Blaze some hate!

Blaze some hate!

You are a fiend
Have no self-esteem
Lost your only hope
Faith begin to cope

Shoot up in your arm
Big rush forgotten harm
No love fills your heart
Our hate

Drain your mind by the dime
Losing hope cannot cope
Your body hurts, your brain is burnt
Drain your mind by the dime

I know what it’s like
I know what it’s like
Put your faith in me
Put your faith in me

Drain your mind by the dime
Losing hope cannot cope

I know what it’s like
I know what it’s like
Put your faith in me
Put your faith in me

I want to help you
Why are you screaming?
I want to help you
Why are you screaming?

Sit back and watch you fry
So sad, I won’t cry
Sit back and watch you fry
So sad, I won’t cry

You are a fiend
Have no self-esteem
Lost your only hope
Faith begin to cope

Begin to cope, faith
Your only hope lost
No self-esteem, have
You are a fiend

Blaze
Blaze some hate
Blaze
Blaze some hate

Blaze some hate!


10. TERRIFIED

Misted eyes perceive
Thoughts I can’t believe
Emotions that run free
Never let me be

Self-inflicted pain
It’s a loss without a gain

Lost in myself
I know not why
I can’t escape
All truth’s a lie
I try to run
I cannot hide
I’m so afraid
I’m terrified

Mirror’s hollow stare
Reflecting my nightmare
All I see pure hate
Soon I’ll suffocate

Confusion taking me
Eclipsing all I see

Lost in myself
I know not why
I can’t escape
This fear inside
I cannot run
I cannot hide
Lost in myself
I’m terrified

Silent are the waters of life flowing free
Born through illusion from the depths of me
Engulfed in the current of many tears
It carries me to serenity, to serenity

Terrified
Terrified
Terrified

Terrified
Terrified
Terrified
