Lyrics


1. OUT THERE (SURVIVORS)

A man is crying for lost love
For all those years she was his all
He is alone & crying softly
The rain has just begun to fall

As they commend another body to the ground
There seems to be no consolation to be found
The wind is cold & you can almost feel her die
And all the preacher has to offer the poor bastard
Is a lie

[Chorus]
We found ourselves
Out There - Survivors

He thinks they're all kindhearted people
Watching them dump her in a hole
His eyes are red but very thankful
You know a handshake scars your soul

As they commen another body to the ground
There seems to be no living - now he's homeward
bound

He is the last to leave a place where bodies lies
And all the preacher has to offer the poor bastard
Is a lie

[Chorus]


2. SO MANY YEARS AGO

Go ! Ring out the message - One of pride & joy
He who gave us all has given us his boy
Join the choir of angels as we sing his praise
He shall be the saviour of the human race

[Chorus]
I loved you - I loved you - So many years ago

Hold ! I am not interested in your task
Rather would I sip the liquid from the flask
Why would any righteous man be nailed to a cross
Ere put a mark on all the bedroom doors

[Chorus]

You have brought a crib that's safe from hate
And fear

Boring,really,Why should I be lying here ?
I was born a rock star & creative mind
I'm the new messiah of the newest kind

[Chorus]

Pray ! You ask, oh tell us, Master,
What are your laws ?

Leatherclad I'll tell you as you breathe the force
The meek inherit nothing so we'll bid them farewell
Go get thee in front of me we'll march to hell

[Chorus]


3. LORDS IN SPACE AND TIME

Dark mass of men shall gather again
We'll take no rules from government fools

Long ago France woke from it's trance & lost
Tyrants recall - They fought you all

[Chorus #1]
Revolution tonight - Strong & divine
We shall reign overnight
We'll be lords in space & time

We're fit for fight - Fight for our rights
(Fight, fight, fight)
Together we'll go - We'll march in a row

[Chorus #1]

The battle is won - It's over & done
Now you can see what we were to be

[Chorus #2]
We did reign overnight -
Strong & divine
We are rulers tonight
We are lords in space & time
We did reign overnight
Strong & divine
We are rulers tonight
We are lords in space & time


4. APOSTLE OF HELL

When the jews return to Zion & a comet rips the sky
When the holy Roman Empire rises -
Then you & I must die
From the eternal sea she rises - creating armies
On either shore
Turning man against his brother till man
Exists no more

Did you see the birthmark on the newborn child ?
Did you feel the evil ? The whole village went wild

In the sixth of June the six chimes were low
Armageddon started nineteen years ago

[Chorus #1]
6 6 6 Mark of the devil's daughter
The devil's daughter

A wicked guardian angel - Apostle from hell
Brought up to fear sounds from the bell

Still alive & evil - You feel the afterbirth
In the name of Satan she'll rule the earth

[Chorus #2] (x2)
6 6 6 Mark of the devil's daughter
6 6 6 Behold she'll kill she'll slaughter

And so it is told in the unwritten books

Take her to the hallowed ground -
Take her to the altar of God
Stab the first knife through her heart to kill her
Physical life
And form the centre of the cross
Stab the second & the third knife through her breasts
To stave off her dark bewitching spell
Now devoid yourself of pity put the fourth knife in
Her brain
To take away her possessing mind
Then three in a row in her stomach shall make the
Cross complete

[Chorus #2]

Taker her to the altar - take her to the hallowed
Ground
A wicked guardian angel
She'll rule the earth - In the name of Satan
Number 666


5. HEADING FOR THE SUN

The stage is set,the lights are on
Gaze at the gear it weighs a ton
Sound of sizzling from the sun
The excitement has begun

There's a message for today
Heavy metal all the way
When you bangers start to sway
That is what makes us wanna stay

[Chorus]
We'll be heading for the sun
Bring a sunbeam as a present for someone
We'll be heading for the sun
Feeding power to the ones who run upfront

Get your fists up in the air
Won't you let us see the leather shining everywhere
You've got power we can share
Won't you give us some & we can make
The world beware

[Chorus]


6. KILLER DWARF SHORTY

I see a little silhuetto of a man
I see him running as fast as he can
Short arm & legs as opposed to his body
Since he was a child he's been called Shorty

Physical Error - Killing in Terror
Physical Error - Killing in Terror

Down by the harbour at the break of day
Killer dwarf Shorty is on his way
He lives there among the orange lights
No one ver saw him that lost his fright

Psychological Terror - Killing in Error
Psychological Terror - Killing in Error

[Chorus #1]
Killer Dwarf Shorty
Breaks every rule
Killer Dwarf Shorty
Will never lose his cool

I hope someday when the lights are low
To catch a glimpse of Shorty doing his show
Axes are his favorite tools
He'll cut you down to size you pitiful fools

[Chorus #2]
Killer Dwarf Shorty
Ain't no fool
Killer Dwarf Shorty
Breaks every rule
Killer Dwarf Shorty
Will never lose his cool


7. HELLBOUND

Stare into darkness - The sky closing in
On the alley you found
Fighting the rainbow not seeing the sun
As you smash in the ground

[Chorus]
Beware Beware
She's everywhere
Beware Beware
She'll get you -You can't escape

Liquid & powder & tablets & smoke
And a cross upside down
You are a warrior - Stand & be praised
But have fear of the crown

[Chorus]

Hellbound bleeding hela

Seeing the sceptre & still moving on
Life is whirling away
Wrapped in her cloak she stands high on a hill
She knows this is her day

[Chorus]

Hellbound bleeding hela


8. PUNISHER

Upon the lightning rides a stallion of the night
The hour of godforsaken sin
Behold a punisher of everything that's right
And let the evil deeds begin

Burning your soul
Sinner in control
Burning your soul
Eyes as black as coal

The might of evildoing witches light his path
To guide him safely on his way
The war of Mars supports his lethal hellish wrath
His eyes are burning - Bring decay

Burning your soul etc.

[Chorus]
Punisher - Ride on
Through the lonely night
Punisher - Ride on
On a wave of fright
Punisher - Ride on
Through the lonely night
Punisher - Ride on...

He will be searching for the guardians of the peace
Waving the sceptre at their minds
His hatred burns - All eeds of mercy shall now cease
The graveborn scenery unwinds

Burning your soul etc.

[Chorus]


9. SHAVE IT ALL OFF

Get it up - yeh all I wanna do is get up
You know I got a little trap that's gonna hit you
With a zap
I'm gonna set it up
I wanna take you - Break you
Babe you know I can shake you
Get it up - Yeh all I wanna do is get it up

Get it out - All I wanna do is get it out
Cos I've been boozin' & a cruisin'
And I tell you something that you won't
Forget about
I'm gonna roll it - Control it
Take a chance just grab it & hold it
Get it out - All I wanna do is get it out

[Chorus]
You better shave it all off

Ram it in - You know I really wanna ram it in
I'm gonna hammer it across to you & tell you
What I want
I'm gonna ram it in
I wanna feel you - Peel you
I've got juices that can heal you
Ram it in - You know I really wanna ram it in

[Chorus]


10. SAVIN LOVE

I'm wondering
What is it that makes you so special
Grow up girl
Stop wasting your time playing goddess you'll fall

[Chorus]
You're savin' love for no one

I want you
You won't see me crawling or begging
Pay heed now
Divinity rubs off like skin peels I know

[Chorus]

Come crawling
You might as well wind up the loser
Stop kidding yourself
I'm not hip but one hell of a boozer you'll see

[Chorus]


11. THE EMPEROR

Foggy Foggy night
Not a single soul in sight
Citizen confined
To his to his own four walls
Somewhere in the mist
Someone clenched a dirty fist
I'm the one you kissed
And the empire falls

Though you scream for gods to end your misery
Not a soul suspects - The cause of it was me

[Chorus]
I am the Emperor

Pain & poverty
Are strictly necessity
Not concerning me
That my dearest crawl
Hunger in the town
While I'm polishing the crown
I'll be safe & sound
When the empire falls

There are some who may not get up off the floor
But there are some casualties in each & every war

[Chorus]

There's a hurricane
But the fiercely falling rain
Never left a stain
On the palace walls
When the thunder dies
There'll be weak & distant cries
But I'll be the one on the rise
When the empire falls

There are some who may not get up off the floor
But there are some casualties in each & every war

[Chorus]


12. GUIDING LIGHT

You're just about the sweetest girl I ever met
But I somehow ended up with another girl instead
My life's a mess & I'm not sure just where to go
I need the warmth that used to help & made me grow

I'm somewhere out there in the black
Reach out your hand & get me back

[Chorus]
Guiding Light - Won't you guide my steps tonight
Guiding Light - Give me peace tonight

For many years you've been the essence of my dreams
My life is full of treachery & devious schemes
If there is someone meant to help you way above
He didn't help me when I stumbled into love

I need the softness of your skin
Reach out your mind & let me in

[Chorus]


13. GET DOWN TO LOVE

I've been called by many names
I've been called a lot
You won't see me playin' games
With the virtues that I got

I'm really not a man for play
I guess I never was
Whoo bloody needs it anyway
Why not get your point across

[Chorus]
Get Down - Down to business
Get down to love
You know as well as I do
What I'm thinkin' of

Don't put me on a pedestal
Don't put me in the grind
I'm just a man like any other
With a very natural mind

It seems to me that life's too precious
To keep messin' round
It's not a fuckin' movie
Do some serious gettin' down

[Chorus]

Don't sit & mope out there
Give me sign
We'll have a good time babe
I wanna feel your body close to mine

You got your head up in the clouds
So start gettin' wise
If you think my patience's endless
Then you're in for a surprise
We could go for endless walks
But it gets too much
I'm gettin' tired of tiresome talks
You know I'd really rather touch


14. SEARCHING

I saw her face one day - I turned to look but she
Had vaished long before I got myself in gear
I was as struck by lightning - Joy was in my heart
I knew I had to find her - had to make her mine

Last night in a dream I saw her walking next to me
She was the essence of my hope & of my dreams
I may not look as good as what I'm looking for
But I will not give up until I got her hooked

[Chorus #1]
Now that I'm searching for that look -
That gentle touch
I am waiting
I've been walking streets at days & bars at nights
I've been longing for you - for you

Searching, searching, searching, searching

I see her face at nights - I see her coal black eyes
To me they seem to be the only eyes
I know I'll never find her - Still I won't let go
To me she'll be the only woman that I'll know

[Chorus #2]
Now I'm searching for that look -
That gentle touch
I've been walking the streets at days
And bars at nights
I've bee longing for you - for you


15. FAR AWAY

Do you know how it feels to be lonely
Do you know how it feels
As you gaze on the offskirts of mankind
Trespassing on their soul

Do you know the machine that will only
Get you caught in the wheels
Do you feel all the glares that condemn you
A native on foreign soil

On a search for things unreachable
Going for the pot of gold
Am I gonna find it ever - Never ever
Never will I dwell on village squares

Time is quite absurd in outer space
But immensley real down here
Am I gonna fly forever - never ever
Never will they turn those groundlights on

[Chorus]
Far away there's a peaceful place
Far away there is love & faith in peace & action
Far away there's a peaceful place
Far away somewhere

On an endless cruise as Shangrila
Disappears before my eyes
I'll be travelling forever - Pull the lever
Blow the goddamn lot to kingdom come

[Chorus]


16. TURN ON THE DARKNESS

Moon is falling from a clear blue sky
Mourners dancing while the joyful cry
Are you sure love shines on everyone
Moon is shining in the sky midday
All the drunkards throw their booze away
Are you sure love shines on everyone

Sky is shining from a clear blue sun
Millions all demanding defcon one
Are you sure love shines on everyone
World exploding in a flash of light
Back again before the dead of night
Are you sure love shines on everyone

All the while life will take your heart away
All the while you keep on dying everyday
You keep on dying everyday

Buy a cup of milk at the liquor store
Look for nature in a corridor
Are you sure love shines on everyone
Better get to the director fast
Cos you've been listed & the movie's cast
Are you sure love shines on everyone

All the while life will take your heart away
All the while you keep dying everyday
You keep on dying everyday

Life will never be the same for you
Love grew out of hand & nearly got us killed

If your head is up & down like mine
We could meet & have a real good time
Turn on the darkness
