War Pigs
|
|
Generals gathered in their masses Just like witches at black masses Evil minds that plot destruction Sorcerers of death's construction In the fields the bodies burning As the war machine keeps turning Death and hatred to mankind poisoning their brainwashed minds Oh Lord yeah Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight They leave that all to the poor Time will tell on their power minds Making war just for fun Treating people just like pawns in chess Wait 'till their judgment day comes Now in darkness world stops turning As the war machine keeps burning No more war pigs have the power Hand of God has struck the hour Day of judgment God is calling On their knees, the war pigs crawling Begging mercy for their sins Satan laughing spreads his wings Oh Lord yeah |

Paranoid
|
|
Finished with my woman 'Cause she couldn't help me with my mind People think I'm insane Because I am frowning all the time All day long I think of things But nothing seems to satisfy Think I'll lose my mind If I don't find something to pacify Can you help me Occupy my brain? Oh yeah I need someone to show me The things in life that I can't find I can't see the things that make true happiness I must be blind Make a joke and I will sigh And you will laugh and I will cry Happiness I cannot feel And love to me is so unreal And so as you hear these words Telling you now of my state I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late |

Planet Caravan
|
|
We sail through endless skies Stars shine like eyes The black night sighs The moon in silver dreams Falls down in beams Light of the night The Earth a purple blaze Of sapphire haze In orbit always While down below the trees Bathed in cool breeze Silver starlight breaks Dawn from night And so we pass on by The crimson eye Of great god Mars As we travel the universe |

Iron Man
|
|
Has he lost his mind Can he see or is he blind Can he walk at all Or if he moves will he fall Is he alive or dead Has he thoughts within his head We'll just pass him there Why should we even care He was turned to steel In the great magnetic field When he traveled time For the future of mankind Nobody wants him He just stares at the world Planning his vengeance That he will soon unfurl Now the time is here For Iron Man to spread fear Vengeance from the grave Kills the people he once saved Nobody wants him They just turn their heads Nobody helps him Now he has his revenge Heavy boots of lead Fills his victims full of dread Running as fast as they can Iron Man lives again! |

Electric Funeral
|
|
Reflex in the sky Warn you you're gonna die Storm coming, you'd better hide From the atomic tide Flashes in the sky Turns houses into sties Turns people into clay Radiation minds decay Robot minds of robot slaves Lead them to atomic graves Plastic flowers, melting sun Fading moon falls upon Dying world of radiation, Victims of man's frustration Burning globe of obscene fire Like electric funeral pyre Buildings crashing down To Earth's cracking ground Rivers turn to mud Eyes melt into blood Earth lies in deathbed Clouds cry for the dead Tearing falling rain Ease the burning pain Electric Funeral Electric Funeral Electric Funeral Electric Funeral And so in the sky Shines the electric eye Supernatural king Takes earth under his wing Heaven's golden chorus sings Hell's angels flap their wings Evil souls fall to Hell Ever trapped in burning cell! |

Hand of Doom
|
|
What you gonna do Time's caught up with you Now you wait your turn You know there's no return Change your empty rules You join the other fools Turn to something new Now it's killing you First it was the bomb, Vietnam napalm Disillusioning, you push the needle in From life you escape, reality's black drape Colours in your mind satisfy your time Oh you, you know you must be blind To do something like this To take the sweet that you don't know You're giving Death a kiss Poor little fool now Your mind is full of pleasure Your body's looking ill To you it's shallow leisure So drop the acid pill Don't stop to think now You're having a good time baby But that won't last Your mind's all full of things You're living too fast Go out, enjoy yourself Don't bottle it in You need someone to help you Stick the needle in, yeah Now you know the scene Your skin starts turning green Your eyes no longer seeing life's reality Push the needle in Face death's sickly grin Holes are in your skin Caused by deadly pin Head starts spinning 'round You fall down to the ground Feel your body heave Death hand starts to weave It's too late to turn You don't want to learn Price of life is high Now you're gonna die |

Fairies Wear Boots
|
|
Goin' home late last night Suddenly I got a fright Yeah I looked through the window and surprised what I saw Fairy boots were dancin' with a dwarf All right now! Yea, fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me Yeah I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies Yeah fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes All right now! Yea, fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me Yeah I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies Yeah fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes All right now! So I went to the doctor see what he could give me He said Son, Son, you've gone too far 'Cause smokin' and trippin' is all that you do Yeah! |
