1. INTO THE FIRE

(Instrumental)


2. TRIAL BY FIRE

In 1945 the year it came to be
Their fate decided
many miles accross the sea
They told them not to fear
they couldn't be prepaired
Then came the day
that not a single soul was spared

Too late there's no escape
The Trial has begun
Down they fly
From out of the sky
Feel the radiation burn

The men of power
had nothing to fear
When the finger hits the switch
they're far away from here
Down in their sanctuary
hidding in their lair
The sorcerers of justice
will be waiting for them there

Too late there's no escape
The Trial has begun
Down they fly
From out of the sky
Feel the radiation burn

I saw the people running
through all my dreams
I heard the soldiers crying
Mother Nature screams
I saw destruction falling
from out of the sky
I heard the Wise Man calling .... Why?

In 1945 the year it came to be
Their fate decided
many miles accross the sea
They told them not to fear
they couldn't be prepaired
Then came the day
that not a single soul was spared.

Too late there's no escape
The Trial has begun
Down they fly
From out of the sky
Feel the radiation burn


3. BLADES OF STEEL

The Vikings they were conquerors, they sought to rule the land,
Many peaceful villages were crushed beneath their hands,
Driven by the power of Lucifer and Thor,
They pillaged and they plundered, took women for their whores,
Blades of steel.

The Vikings sailed to foreign shores, with steel at their command,
Seeking warmth and shelter, they roamed across the land,
Zandor was their leader, there's none so fearless and brave,
He'd guide them through the coming months,
Through winter they'd be safe,
Blades of Steel.

Shining sun warms the earth, autumn time has come,
People gathered in the fields, the summer's almost gone,
By the fireside, they would laugh and dance and sing,
Prepared for anything the winter months would bring,
But soon they would fall by blades of steel.

Blades of steel, ripping through the town,
Blades of steel, tearing you all down,
Blades of steel, put terror in your hearts
Blades of steel, tear the world apart.


4. NO TURNING BACK

Looking for a way to put me down,
I gotta stop your hanging around,
You're telling me I'm crazy, but I'm not a fool,
I don't live by the book, I don't want no rules.

Trying to make it through all the rough times,
All the way to the top, it's a tough ride,
They're all calling me mad, I've gotta prove them wrong,
I don't care what it takes, I can't wait too long.

[Chorus]
No turning back, can't stop me now,
No turning back, so don't put me down,
No turning back, cos I told you before
No turning back, no turning back, break down the door.

What's it like at the top, it's a tough ride,
You never know who's taking your side,
Jealous people who are are causing you pain,
And there's the days when it drives you insane,
No turning back, no time for dreaming,
I love this life, I feel like screaming,
You all should know, there's a lesson for learning,
Deep in my heart, there's a flame that is burning.

Gotta keep on trying when the going's tough,
Cos you can do anythin if you want it enough,
Believe in yourself, no-one else but you,
And if you've got the guts, you can make it through.

[Chorus]


5. BREAK FREE

Out in the cold, you've got nowhere to run, but you're free again,
When you're alone you remember the day in your cell,
You were convicted and sentenced to life,
Your cries of "Injustice", unheard,
Locked inside, you planned your break,
Now you're free.

[Chorus]
So you've got to run again,
You've broken your chains,
Now you've got to run, run, run.

Gotta break free!

Now that you're out, you can look fot the ones who condemned you,
Show the world that you're not just a pawn in this game,
All of their faces you see in your mind,
Your memories build up into hate,
All you've been through, gonna put them through Hell,

[Chorus]

Break out and run, your escape has begun,
But the Law's on your ass once again,
Wanted and hunted, you know you can't hide,
So keep running as fast as you can,
You know you were innocent, you know they were wrong,
And now they've turned you into a killer,
Another wasted life now, just thrown it away,
So with their own lives you're gonna make them pay.

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

Gotta break free!


6. PULL THE TRIGGER

The night is out and the lights fade,
And I'm alone in the steet
Running round in a daze, don't know where I'm going
There's nothing left to live for, this life is killing me
My mind's gone, I can't carry on anyway

Time is runnig out, going fast
How much longer can I last?
I just don't care, I can't take it anymore
Pull the trigger, pull the trigger
Indulge in self-destruction

Gazing out in the darkness, looking back on the past
My life is draining away, but there's no cure
Locked away in my warped mind, no-one can pull me out
I've got to self-destruct, that's the key to the door

Time is runnig out, going fast
How much longer can I last?
I just don't care, I can't take it anymore
Pull the trigger, pull the trigger
Indulge in self-destruction

Shoot it...shoot...shoot
Blow my life away
Gazing out in the darkness, looking into the black
Staring straight down the barrel of a 45
Loaded up and I'm ready, I'm playing "Russian Roulette"
The next time I pull the trigger, I'll be dead or alive

Time is runnig out, going fast
How much longer can I last?
I just don't care, I can't take it anymore
Pull the trigger, pull the trigger
Indulge in self-destruction
