1. TYRANT'S REVELATION III

After witnessing Satan’s wrath throughout the world
From Coast to Coast
We slid back into our Dance with the Devil
In this world living in the Fast Lane
As Satan began to Tighten the Vice
We were possessed by the words sent down by the heavens above
From our blessed father, the King of Kings
There is No Where to Run and no where to hide
We were filled with the Ancient Fire and His blessed convictions
Resurrecting Tyrant’s power and glory
Engulfing the world When Night Falls
Take heed the words of the Tyrant
(whispers) Natas Si Live


2. KING OF KINGS

Our father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven....

The church was dark and oh so very cold
The steps echo through the entrance of these halls
The full moon brings stained glass to life…once again.

Shadows fall across his pale face
I feel the sorrow that once filled this empty space
A small stream of blood flows from his crown…and down his cheek.

King of Kings, Lord of Lords…won’t you
save us from the gates of hell?
King of Kings, Lord of Lords.

Rain pours from the darkened sky
The demon worries when the preacher walks by
Crack of thunder when the church bell rings…it’s time to pray.

Our Father, who art in Heaven
Blessed be his hallowed name
A man of grace, a man of glory
This world’s gone insane.

King of Kings, Lord of Lords…won’t you
save us from the flames of hell?
King of Kings, Lord of Lords.

Shots ring out in the dead of night
A screaming child in the pale moon light
A mother sits, dying father in her hands…in her hands.

A boy’s a man…end of story
A fitting end to his reign of glory
Another soul meets his maker…In Thy Name

King of Kings, Lord of Lords…won’t you
lead us from the flames of hell?
King of Kings, Lord of Lords.

King of Kings, Lord of Lords…won’t you
save us from the gates of hell?
King of Kings, Lord of Lords.

Save us….
King of Kings, Lord of Lords


3. FAST LANE

Yeah
Living in the fast lane
Got no one to blame
Living in the fast lane
World’s driving me insane

I know I’m just a fucking fool
Riding on the razor’s edge
I know I’m just another fool
And I’m living in the devil’s trap

While you’re living off my back
While you’re living off my back

Living in the fast lane
Looking for somebody to blame
Living in the fast lane
Just another part of the game

I know I’m just a fucking fool
And I’m burning down another bridge
I know you’re just a fucking fool
And you’re riding on the razor’s edge

While you’re scratching down my back
While you’re scratching down my back

Living in the fast lane
Got no one to blame
Living in the fast lane
World’s driving me insane

Living in the fast lane
Oh yeah


4. DANCE WITH THE DEVIL

Since he was a little boy
He dreamed of being up on stage
He stole his very first guitar
He loved the evil sound it made
He practiced every day and every night
Yeah
He knows some day he’ll be a star
Yeah
He’ll be a star some day.

The time has come to dance with the devil.

He formed a band
So he could make it big
That’s when he found out he was way out of his league
He needed help and he knew just where to go
He’s having a talk with the man below

“I know why you’re here little boy
You want to learn how to play that toy
You want to learn to play that toy
You got to sell your soul.”

The time has come to dance with the devil.

Now little Ricky is a big, big star
Yeah
Gets all the girls and drives a fancy car
He’s got it all or so they say
His precious soul was the price he paid
Now he’s walking on the wild side
He’s got to be the devil’s pride and joy
The devil’s pride and joy
You got to lose your soul.

The time has come to dance with the devil.
The time has come to dance with the devil.


5. ANCIENT FIRE

Ancient fire…
Burns in our hearts again
It’s time to rise
Across this sinking land

Ancient wisdom…
From the chosen few
Their blood soaked words
Tell us what we’ve got to do

(Chant) Ancient fire
Ancient fire...

Here lies mankind
From distorted finder’s eyes
No lessons learned
From so many lost
Oh, the cost

They planted seeds of thought
But nailed the coffin lid shut
And see blood reign from the sky
Never to die

(Chant) Ancient fire
Ancient fire...

It’s time to start again
This world will start to mend
This is the one last chance we’ve got
Yes, we’ve got

The facts I’ve got on every one
About a Father blessed his son
The words have left sores in our mouths
Yes, our mouths

(Chant) Ancient fire
Ancient fire
Ancient fire...


6. NOWHERE TO RUN

He heard a voice calling down from above
To be the witness and speak the tongues of love
He was afraid to follow his conviction
A living God who rose above the crucifixion

No where to run
No where to hide
From his love

He tried to build a ship and sail far away
He tried to hide but could not get away
The sea began to churn
And the wind began to blow
He pushed away his faith
But in his heart he knows

No where to run
No where to hide
From his love

Every where he went tragedy would follow
He was eaten alive into the serpent’s hollow
Only to escape and preach the words of glory
This violent happening was known as Jonah’s story

No where to run
No where to hide
From his love


7. WHEN NIGHT FALLS

I walk the streets
Moving like a sound
I hold your life
In the palm of my hands
My power grows
With every night that falls
The dark side is under my command

When night falls
When night falls

I lie in silk
Beneath the hollowed ground
I wait for night
It makes my heart pound
Beneath the moon
I will make you mine
I will disappear before the sun will shine

When night falls
When night falls

My thirst for blood
It makes my heart pound
I slip through the night
Without a sound
The night’s my cloak
You’ll feel my blade
I will take your soul
Before nights turns to day

When night falls
When night falls

(Whispers) You will die


8. TIGHTEN THE VICE

I am the one you’re dreaming of
I am the one that you need
Yeah

I am the one that steals your dreams
The devil flows through your veins

You can’t fight the temptation
You’ve got to have it race through your heart
You love the warm sensation
While it slowly rips you apart

Tighten the vice – down on my head
Tighten the vice – until I’m dead

When I woke up this morning
You were the first thing on my mind
I find myself always wanting
Wanting you all the time
I could never get enough of your love
It feels so good
It was sent from above

Round and round it goes
Never stops: always flows
I’ve got a blizzard blowing up my nose

Tighten the vice – down on my head
Tighten the vice – until I’m dead
I’m dead

I can’t see you through the snow
I can’t see you at all
All I see is snow in my eyes
And in my soul
Now I’m walking with the dead
In hell with all my friends
Down here, we party all night long
The party never ends

Tighten the vice – down on my head
Tighten the vice – until I’m dead


9. COAST TO COAST

There’s a place in New York City
Where they’re dying in the street
There’s a place down in L.A.
Where they don’t have no food to eat

What’s this world coming to, oh my Lord?
When they lock their doors at night

Coast to coast
We’re living a hard, hard life
Coast to coast
We’re living a hard, hard life

She’s only a little girl
But she walks the streets at night
He’s only a little boy
Thinks killing is all right

What’s this world coming to, oh my Lord?
Where have all the children gone?

Coast to coast
We’re living a hard, hard life
Coast to coast
We’re living a hard, hard life

The youth of today
Will run the world tomorrow
They’re all begging in the streets
Will they have a job tomorrow?
Where will they turn?
When there’s nowhere to go
Where will they lie?
When there’s nowhere left to die

Coast to coast
We’re living a hard, hard life
Coast to coast
We’re living a hard, hard life
Hard life
A hard, hard life


10. WAR

He was only 18 when his country called
He’d never held a gun in his hand
When he thought about killing
Tears came to his eyes
It was hard for him to understand

His mother kissed him on the cheek
His dad patted him on the back
Next thing he knew
He had a gun in his hand
From there
There was no turning back

Fight! Kill! War!
Fight! Kill! War!

Flying out of the plane
Beneath a bag of wind
And down to a foreign land
The Unknown Soldier
Was a burdened man
And it was something we could all understand

Hendrix cranking in my ears
Psychedelics in my mind
Sent to land with a gun in my hand
Sworn to destroy mankind

Fight! Kill! War!
Fight! Kill! War!

No victory parade
But it was good to be home
But not even a pat on the back
All my dreams have come home with me
I’ve seen them all fade to black

I’ve tried to forget all the things I did
And all the things I saw
When I look in the mirror
I see the eyes of a boy
Who once knew right from wrong

Fight! Kill! War!
Fight! Kill! War!
