Over the Wall
|
|
I've been a prisoner Trapped in by fear Ordered for the rest of my life Condemned in a jail cell Ain't seen life in years Escape is the only way out Restart my life Or self destruction To climb this wall Of dark construction Holding the quest for freedom That beckons me My sanity is all but gone My patience is growing very weak I need to get a hold of myself I stare at the wall For the right time has come Escape must occur on this night Stand in my way And I'll run you straight through There's no one to stop me now For I'm on the loose And I'm ready to start Torture and hell an this town Over the wall The search will not stop And hounds will not rest Till I am back in my cell For if I am caught,I'll try it again Over the wall I will go,I will go Stand in my way And I'll run you straight through There's no one to stop me now For I'm on the loose And I'm ready to start Torture and hell an this town |

The Haunting
|
|
Hear the screams,screams of fright Shrieks of terror through the night Souls of old band to hold The meeting for the haunting night Headless ghosts fill the halls Shadow plays of grief and pain Phantom speaks his final note Tenants of the castle slain Black cats will appear As the witching hour nears Lost souls will all be told For a haunting we will go See their dreams come to life Under pressure holding tight Feel the cold grabbing hold To feed you to the haunting night Evil witch black as pitch Starts a fire with a flinch Burning fire rising higher Making music like a choir Stay away from the shining light Can't seem to find the answer there Bring back the terror in the night That we all share tonight Hear the screams,screams of fright Shrieks of terror through the night Souls of old band to hold The meeting for the haunting night Headless ghosts fill the halls Shadow plays of grief and pain Phantom speaks his final note Tenants of the castle slain Black cats will appear As the witching hour nears Lost souls will all be told For a haunting we will go |

Burnt Offerings

Summoned to the house of seance To play the evil tarot cards To find out what our fate will bring us Before the war Approaching now the hour of tiamat Evil feelings in the air The chosen wait impatiently To find the rituals of power Come out of the fire Making the legacy known Takes its toll at last Now knowing when it strikes The endless feuding shows its fate The people are all shocked with fright They know the end is coming near It's time to fight The revolution holds on strong The armies have all met their match Entire world up in arms Destruction sees the spirits of anger Come up from the gallows Conjured my demons appear Summoned to my cast,prey this deadly mass Takin by the fire you fail The world became a vast wasteland Survivors turn to cannibals Killing everything in sight Warfare tonight The armies are all closing in The populations getting small Feelings are as cold as ice Survival names it's price Starting to burn The rape and violence grows high A kingdom will rise To rule with contempt They will surprise Kill and repent The weakness in armies "Won't die" Leaving now the house of seance Speculating destiny Wonder if the cards were true Will wait to find out and will wait to see |

Raging Waters
|
|
Our ship sailed on through the Violent burning sea Not knowing of the danger Waiting in store for me We wound up all in mayhem The vessel tossed and turned The compass that had led us We watched it slowly burn We'll never see our homeland We know it all right then That fate was on the second hand Of borrowed time again For that evil pathed our way The men were being thrown From left and right they feel The water was as hot as satan's Forge from hell The questions that arose like Where the hell are we I had a good idea we're in the Devils sea: the triangle! See what's become of your Life left to live No hope from this land of trust Hells winds scream sacrilege Death from above The great white closes in The corpses afloat all shattered in rage No hope for our piece of mind Satans vessels come closer and closer He holds the seas fate in his hand "Violence terror" Raging waters Dying has scare us nowhere to go Darkness prevails no one to save us Every one man for himself The red gem of Hades is shining Too hot Satan's power becomes strong His armies have killed so many Before us A sacrifice must be done The door of the chosen Has opened for us what sanctuary Will we see See him panic crying in lust Screaming he'll get me "Violence terror" Raging waters Dying has scare us nowhere to go Darkness prevails no one to save us Every one man for himself |

Witches grow restless The priests are impatient My legions scream The gates must be open Our master repels A massage of hope On through the gates we march The sentinels await With their sabers in grasp A vast group locust attack Attacking with force As we show no remorse Obstructing our victims fate The blood in the chalice Saluting the fight All virgins must die this night Psychotic reaction from a serpents kiss Is taking the life from our soul And leading a train of destruction from hell Finding our way through hells hole Curse of the legions of death Curse of the legions of death Provoke the dead Curse of the legions of death |

First Strike Is Deadly
|
|
Prisoners of the venom master Guilty for what you've been charged Sit in cells condemned to face The deadly snap of their jaws Terror stricken you lie and wait In the final hour Knowing of your wretched fate And the serent power First strike is deadly The evil path that you must take Is filled with the slither of snakes Their hiding and waiting for the time to lunge For your flesh and your fate No one escapes or comes out alive For the snakes they'll never lose For if they hit you just one time You have just faced your doom First strike is deadly Deadly strike bred to kill The venoms howling in your veins Psychotic spell a gift from hell The sound of a deadly lead remains |

Do or Die
|

Living my life on borrowed time Watching my dreams disappear My fists slowly clench As my mind seeks control My body trembles in fear Life was looking up for me When I left home Seems like yesterday Now I'll never go back there again Here is where I'll stay Nobody can hear you scream or shout Once you're in you won't come out You will never see the light of day I'm hunter you're my prey Watching the clash between The forces below From up in the planes we're flying Survivors are taken as prisoners of war The others are slowly dying I shiver as we strap on our parachutes We line up to jump out the door We're already here and there's no turning back I fall to scene of the war Nobody can hear you scream or shout Once you're in you won't come out You will never see the light of day I'm hunter you're my prey You can see me Flying right over you head Try to stop me You can't cause your armies are dead To cross blood red Trenches of the dead below Do or die Hell's the place you'll go Nobody can hear you scream or shout Once you're in you won't come out You will never see the light of day I'm hunter you're my prey |

Alone in the Dark
|
|
When I was but very young Sorcerers came to claim my mind Leaving death and hatred to unmask The master of the game had won And let his final sin be known Killing those who stand in his path Alone in the dark Where the demons are torturing me The dark passages of revenge is all that I see Armies of witches Are called in from the north Murders of elders occur The high priest of evil Has lowered his iron fist Thousands of people will die The slaughter of the innocent The house is burning That lights the sky My nightmare has begun to unfold The hissing of the cobras tongue Sound and feel of ripping flesh Fall two thousand feet from the sky My terror has controlled my life and Let my only weakness known I got to rid this hell from my head I fight off evil sorcerers Rid my mind of his torture and Meet the falling angel in his realm Alone in the dark Where the demons are torturing me The dark passages of revenge is all that I see Faustus prepares the legions of the night Diviners from the far north arrive Aimlessly people there huddled in a pack Wreaking deadly havoc on mankind I fall in my deepest sleep To meet the evil asteroth His title is the grand duke of hell I fight until the end is near To rid my mind of hopes and fears My destination lies in my dreams Set me free Alone in the dark Where the demons are torturing me The dark passages of revenge is all that I see Armies of witches Are called in from the north Murders of elders occur The high priest of evil Has lowered his iron fist Thousands of people will die |

Apocalyptic City

Born into a world of hatred Nothing to live for What started with a simple match Turned into something more The pain I felt inside my head Came on my day of birth Now the time has come for me To burn the planet Earth I can feel the fire Burning inside of me The powers at my fingers Waiting you shall see Burn, ignite the population Burn, causing mass cremation Burn, feel no shame or pity Burn, apocalyptic city Years have passed as I stood still To plan the final blow I'll make the town go up in flames A hellish death they'll know As I pour on the gasoline I listen deep inside I hear the cries of all my victims Nowhere to run or hide I can feel the fire Burning inside of me The powers at my fingers Waiting you shall see Burn, ignite the population Burn, causing mass cremation Burn, feel no shame or pity Burn, apocalyptic city Now my great assault is over And my life is done Staring at my great infernos Was my only fun So I leave you with my tale Here my conscious falls Victim of myself So now I'll end it all I can feel the fire Burning inside of me The powers at my fingers Waiting you shall see Burn, ignite the population Burn, causing mass cremation Burn, feel no shame or pity Burn, apocalyptic city |
