Lyrics

1. FRANKENSTEIN

A mastermind in the old watchtower
Prying eyes must never find.
Playing god in the final hour
Insanity, such a fine line
Overwhelmed by the mourning process
And the loss of his dearly loved
The doctor's work is now obsession
What is life? what's beyond?
He wants to know what it's like to be god
Creating life with his own hands
To reanimate lifeless tissues
The devil's work, the doctors plan
A man of wealth and a genius mind
A slave to passion and his morbid side
Robbing graves of the nearly dead
Erratic tendencies, a troubled mind

I will create in my own image
If god can then why can't i?
No thought of the consequences
I've got to know the meaning of life

Lightning strikes, it's the witching hour
The monstrosity comes alive
A victim of man's vanity
Born in delirium, a deranged child
He turns his back on his own creation
Chaos ensues, the innocent die
Who's the monster?
Who's the victim?

Crucify!!! crucify!!!


2. GHOST OF FREEDOM

Every time you think about it
It tears you up inside
You curse the day your mother
told you, your father died
Now you're always searching
Searching for the reason why i've gone
But i will always be here
By your side, through the darkest night

Here i'll stand on the firing line
Here i'll walk through the field where i died
I will fight and let the voice ring true
I am the ghost
Standing next to you

Every night you go to sleep
You pray the lord my soul to keep
You don't know i've not gone away
You see i watch over fighting men
So they can have peace again
And maybe someday you will all be free

Here i'll stand on the firing line
Here i'll walk through the field where i died
I will fight and let the voice ring true
I am the ghost
Standing next to you

You speak to me
And i feel your pride
Assuring me i'll never die
I write mother...
"He's here with me..."
He's in our minds
He's in our souls
Of sacrifice his story's told
He holds the flame of freedom for all to see

Here we stand on the firing line
Here i'll walk in the field where i fight
I will fight of die for liberty
With the ghost standing next to me

Don't tread on me... live free or die!!!
To our fallen brothers
You died to keep us free
To our fallen brothers
Who gave us liberty!!!
