2. PORT ROYAL

Hundred masts, thirty flags
An island in the gulf of Darien
Sandglas, bloody heart
Flying high above the scene

Marooners with loaded guns
Are still waiting at the quay
A hungry fleet from underworld
"Freedom" is the law they pray

"Black strap", rum and gin
Sexual freedom all the way
A rolling dice, an ace of hearts
One shall win and one's to pay

Concord and freedom
No need for the holy writ
Rebellions, non - servile
Spitting on religious hypocrites

Port Royal
A cry of freedom on the sea

When the " oxford ", hits the sea
Slave driver learns the moses law
There is no chance, they can't escape
They hunt them down and eat'em raw

Gin Lane, New Providence
It all is now since along time gone
But there are still descendants
Port Royal's spirit lives forever on

Port Royal
A cry of freedom on the sea.


3. BAD TO THE BONE

Fifty years ago with the world at war
Hands bloodied - devastated
Better believe they're back for more
Pounding the world with a fist of steel
Jack booted, heavy handed
Careless of the pain we feel

Bastards - throwing life away
Killers - Alive today

Oh oh oh oh
Don't tell no lies
I see through your eyes
You're bad to the bone
Oh oh oh oh
Don't tell no lies
You can't hear the cries
'Cos you're bad to the bone

Times have changed but he don't know
Zoot suit, black tie
Careless that the lies are low
One for all and all for one
Talking smooth - hidden truth
Time bomb ticking just begun

Bastards - throwing life away
Killers - Alive today

Oh oh oh oh
Don't tell no lies
I see through your eyes
You're bad to the bone
Oh oh oh oh
Don't tell no lies
You can't hear the cries
'Cos you're bad to the bone

Standing alone for the world to see
Non-starter - push harder
He still believes his time will come
Small wonder - old thunder
Can't he see that he's wrong

Bastards - throwing life away
Killers - Alive today

Oh oh oh oh
Don't tell no lies
I see through your eyes
You're bad to the bone
Oh oh oh oh
Don't tell no lies
You can't hear the cries
'Cos you're bad to the bone


4. RIDING THE STORM

Breaking the waves, a ride on the wild raging sea
Playing with fortune, oh, what a lust to be free
Flashlights and thunder, the prattering rain on the hull
From a stormy horison we get our course
The cry of freedom
Face in the wind, we're riding the storm
We'll stay our course whatever will come
Wandering souls in the sea of the damned
Death or glory, oh, oh, we're riding the storm
Cracks in the planks, the rigging moves upwards and
Staggering masts, the pounding splash of the prow
The wind in our sails, our flag flies high on the top
From a stormy horison we get our course
The cry of freedom
Face in the wind, we're riding the storm
We'll stay our course whatever will come
Wandering souls in the sea of the damned
Death or glory, oh, oh, we're riding the storm


5. SOULLESS

Spineless and false you are creeping through time
Your flag's turning with the wind, your advantage is prime
Feathering your nest is your one and only law
Treachery and fraud is the sense that you are living for

Living on a lie, a mind-killing spell
You'll never ever learn cause you're living in your self-made hell

You're soulless, when the fire of evil burns in your heart
You're soulless, cause hate and greed's gonna tear you apart

The sledgehammer method is the way in which you act
You double-cross and cheat, you never show respect
Spiderlike you crawl, you spin your web of lies
Eternally you'll lose, cause truth will rule the dice

Living on a lie, a mind-killing spell
You'll never ever learn cause you're living in your self-made hell

You're soulless, when the fire of evil burns in your heart
You're soulless, cause hate and greed's gonna tear you apart

Conceited and dense, imposture is your call
Selfdestructed clown, imbecility is your fall
Reality and truth cut you down to size
Duck your rotten head, be prepared to pay the price

Living on a lie, a mind-killing spell
You'll never ever learn cause you're living in your self-made hell

You're soulless, when the fire of evil burns in your heart
You're soulless, cause hate and greed's gonna


6. PRISONER OF OUR TIME

Paint in subways
Paint in busses
With your Edding big black pentagrams
Black metal graffitis are thrown against the wall
Crucifixes are inversed
Pictures are signed by the triple six
Black metal art is shocking law 'n' order man

Rockers of the underground
Black and heavy is our sound

Lost the money
Lost the job
Being catched by the cop
I am living not the role that you wanna give to me
Living life
My own way
Not tomorrow, but today
You are against me, but I tell you K. M. A.!!!

Rockers of the underground
Black and heavy is our sound

We are prisoners of our time
But we are still alive
Fight for the freedom, Fight for the right
We are Running Wild


7. BLACK HAND INN

A scarred and rakish seadog, mysterious opacity
Walks the grove, the phantom's home
Cuts down firs where men would flee
Wooden beams and mortal, the timber shack is taking shape
The tavern's baptized "Black Hand Inn"
A blackened hand shines on the plate

Welcome to the tavern in the grove
Where ancient spirits live and rove

The tavern has been opened, the owner is Mr. John Xenir
A rumour says he has second sight
A chance to prove restrains their fear
Night by night revealing, stares into his crystalball
Telling tales of past and future
When man was made and man will fall

Welcome to the tavern in the grove
Where ancient spirits live and rove

The moon is rising high foreboding what the night will bring
The crystal-ball reveals the hidden truth at the "Black Hand Inn"

The priest is getting furious from the "godless" tales he told
Steps right in made a cross
Condemn the seadog and says he's bold
John says "your a liar! Long ago I was burned by priests
See my black hand, yes I'll reveal
That you're the devil and you're the beast!"

Welcome to the tavern in the grove
Where ancient spirits live and rove

The moon is rising high foreboding what the night will bring
The crystal-ball reveals the hidden truth at the "Black Hand Inn"

Welcome to the tavern in the grove
Where ancient spirits live and rove

The moon is rising high foreboding what the night will bring
The crystal-ball reveals the hidden truth at the "Black Hand Inn"
Their power's built by lies and flying high on evil's wing
The dark side was exposed by the old seadog at the "Black Hand Inn"


8. PURGATORY

The full moon's shining high in the sky
A screaming black bat passes by
A cold draught strangles your throat
You try to move but you are leashed in chains
You feel your end's coming and the power of darkness
The devil has come to require your soul
You have no right to refuse it
You have to say "Good-Bye" and go

The curtains are moving and a shadow appears
Your blood is still frozen, you're nearly killed by fears
A dark shadow creeps to your deathbed
It's too late to regret your sins
He says to you "Well, surrender
I want your soul for hell"
You have no right to refuse it
You have to say "Good-Bye" and go

Oh sorry you'd never done anything wrong
But nobody cares if you are gone
You were full of prejudices, badness and real sin
You were against sexual liberty, long hair and the idolent youth
I don't want your fucking moral and god
Cause I'm the deuce

Go and burn in Purgatory
Go and burn in Hell
Go and burn all your sins away
Go and burn in Hell


9. THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO

June the 18th 1815, the battle at "Belle-Alliance"
Marshy fields and pouring rain,
all the blood and the pain
a cannon's fire, cuirassier's attack,
British grenadiers stand tight
Wellington's command "Bluecher or the night",
but no Prussian in sight

The battle of Waterloo
a sea of blood that stains the field
The battle of Waterloo
lead and steel the bloody goods
The battle of Waterloo
they fight and die, fall one by one
The battle of Waterloo
a tribute to the bloody death

Fight, fight - you have to stand unite
Kill, kill - come on and have your thrill
Bleed, bleed - your blood flows on the field
Die, die - but nobody will ever cry for you

The french guard marches on and on
straight towards the British lines
Bluecher's Prussians join the fight storming the fire side
The French guards fall one by one but Napoleon has gone
Do you know who's paying the costs ?
The little soldier, he's lost

The battle of Waterloo
a sea of blood that stains the field
The battle of Waterloo
lead and steel the bloody goods
The battle of Waterloo
they fight and die, fall one by one
The battle of Waterloo
a tribute to the bloody death

11. RAGING FIRE

Can you see the licking flame
Waiting for its time
Its increasing energy
Preparing for the prime

Fed up with your boring prate
All senses gettin lost
Second to none our flame shall rouse
Just like a growing host

Raging Fire burning down the walls
Raging Fire the rebellion force
Raging Fire all across the lands
Raging Fire fights in self defense

The anger grows on and on
The young stand up and fight
No more lies and censorship
All oppressed stand tight

Knights of fortune and dictators
They can't stand this heat
We know what we want from life
Beware we break your greed

Raging Fire burning down the walls
Raging Fire the rebellion force
Raging Fire all across the lands
Raging Fire fights in self defense

Wake up break the silence
Come on join our league
We must stand defiant
To dethrone this breed


12. WHIRLWIND

Thundering foam that hits the keel
Like powder blazed by flints
The figure-head is riding high with
His face right to the wind
The hull that creaks in every joint is
Hammering the sea
Determined it will ride the main, it
Will last eternally

It rips the wild and stormy sea like
A heavy charge of pride
Book and eye are moved by storm
The ropes are holding tight
The rudder's beating left and right
The ship's in seasaw motion
The proudness of a majesty is
Banning all devotion

Like a whirlwind
Rushing over the sea
Like a whirlwind
Blowing fast, blowing free
Like a whirlwind
A raving storm in the night
Like a whirlwind
Going mad, going wild

Thundering foam that hits the keel
Like powder blazed by flints
The figure-head is riding high with
His face right to the wind
The hull that creaks in every joint is
Hammering the sea
Determined it will ride the main, it
Will last eternally

Like a whirlwind
Rushing over the sea
Like a whirlwind
Blowing fast, blowing free
Like a whirlwind
A raving storm in the night
Like a whirlwind
Going mad, going wild
Like a whirlwind
Like a whirlwind
Like a whirlwind
Like a whirlwind


13. TORTUGA BAY

Man or boy - we'll fight all as one
Bending the rules - it's the call of the wild
Last resort - to be shot down in pains
Playing your very last card

Hoist up the mainbrace and fasten the sails
Crowsnest is screaming for shore
Ready the rum that is stored in the hold
Bringing what we need and more

Where the streets have no name
Where the devil's in all men
If you knew what was a slain
Pay or flee in Tortuga Bay

Fight to death - games that men play
Flashing of steel and the clash of the sword
Last breath - the kill of the day
Proving what all men must fear

Hoist up the mainbrace and fasten the sails
Crowsnest is screaming for shore
Ready the rum that is stored in the hold
Bringing what we need and more

Live by stealth - cover your track
Enemies scuttled but who needs to see
No escape - knife in your back
Fleeing from Tortuga Bay

Hoist up the mainbrace and fasten the sails
Crowsnest is screaming for shore
Ready the grass that is bound up in bales
Bringing what we need and more

Where the streets have no name
Where the devil's in all men
If you knew what was a slain
Pay or flee in Tortuga Bay

Where survival's the game
Where you fight for your freedom
If you knew what was a slain
Pay or flee in Tortuga Bay


14. BRANDED AND EXILED

Red hot iron heated by living coal
Ready for branding to strike his goal
The torrid cast iron marks the leather
To banish the renegade from now on forever

Many relocated all across the lands
Together we've got the power in our hands
We are strong enough to fight mendacious laws
We've got the wrath, 'cause we are

Branded and exiled
Together we can stand the night
Branded and exiled
Together we can stand the night, yeah!

Rabbits will sinks into the morass of injustice
They try to deliver it from the deep black abyss
Our shell of wrath explodes, they're winding like an ill
That day we're ready to make those bastards kneel

Many relocated all across the lands
Together we've got the power in our hands
We are strong enough to fight mendacious laws
We've got the wrath, 'cause we are

Branded and exiled
Together we can stand the night
Branded and exiled
Together we can stand the night, yeah!

Many relocated all across the lands
Together we've got the power in our hands
We are strong enough to fight mendacious laws
We've got the wrath, 'cause we are

Branded and exiled
Together we can stand the night
Branded and exiled
Together we can stand the night, yeah!

Branded and exiled
Together we can stand the night
Branded and exiled
Together we can stand the night

Branded and exiled
Together we can stand the night
Branded and exiled
Together we can stand the night

Come on!
Branded and exiled
Branded and exiled
Branded and exiled
Branded and exiled!


15. RAISE YOUR FIST

Friday night, dressed to kill, hell bent for the show
Shiny leather like a second skin, ready for their first row
You want to go meet your pals, but your dad won't let you go
He's totally blind, babbling wild, and he rages and he blows

"I don't want you boy to leave my house this way!
Your awful friends are gonna lead you astray
You better work for school don't join this fucking show
I won't let you go ! "

Come on kids unite and let us feel the flame of rage
Together we are strong so let's tear up this golden cage
We shall overcome repression and their straining strings
The shackles have to fall and we will be metallian kings
Raise your fist

Monday morning, ringing school-bell, homework isn't done
Teacher's gonna break your balls, don't expect no fun
The jailor's wild and furious, classmates deride you
The wrath is overwhelming you, can't stand this fucking crew!

"I don't want you scums let me get away from here
I don't want to be a cogwheel in your gear
I'm not a marionette in your boring puppet show
So let me go! "

Come on kids unite and let us feel the flame of rage
Together we are strong so let's tear up this golden cage
We shall overcome repression and their straining strings
The shackles have to fall and we will be metallian kings
Raise your fist


16. CONQUISTADORES

Exploring the seas to conquer new lands
Troops arrayed by the church
Sanctified and blessed they set out
Crusaders, gentiles' scourge

They fight, they kill, they rape
Under the banner of the 'holy' church
They hunt, they lie, they cheat, they steal
Doing dirty deeds

Conquistadores -
- Hungry for gold, doing as the religious madman told
Conquistadores -
- Religion's knight, havoc and death caused by pride

Pearls of glass for ingets of gold
Violence, force and deceit
Taking the wealth or the Indian's life
Their way of feeding their greed

Heathen must turn to Christianity
It's like 'believe or die'
Arrogance and blindless, religion's force
Believers never ask the reason why

They fight, they kill, they rape
Under the banner of the 'holy' church
They hunt, they lie, they cheat, they steal
Doing dirty deeds

Conquistadores -
- Hungry for gold, doing as the religious madman told
Conquistadores -
- Religion's knight, havoc and death caused by pride


17. UNDER JOLLY ROGER

Weigh anchor, hoist the sails
Cruisin' for booty on watery trails
No exploiter we see can still sail on
Our cannons fire till his ship goes down

Fly our flag, we teach them fear
Capture them, the end is near
Firing guns they shall burn
Surrender or fight there's no return
Under Jolly Roger

Venerable scoundrels, no blood on our hands
Our engagement are tough, but only for defence
Carefully we sail around the reefs
To force those die-hards to their knees

Fly our flag, we teach them fear
Capture them, the end is near
Firing guns they shall burn
Surrender or fight there's no return
Under Jolly Roger

Coming through the waves to free all the captives
Boarding the vessels we know all the tactics
We're the menace, the curse of the sea
We pulverize the men'o'war pay or flee

Fly our flag, we teach them fear
Capture them, the end is near
Firing guns they shall burn
Surrender or fight there's no return
Under Jolly Roger
