1. Inquisitor
Repent,
blood will fall like rain.
Torment,
hooks into your brain.
Whiplash,
chained to the wrack.
Razor slash,
your spines about to crack.
Your body now,
belongs to me.
Soon you'll burn,
in purgatory.
Chorus
Inquisitor,
sworn confessor.
Inquisitor,
tourniquet will turn.
Inquisitor,
unholy oppressor.
Inquisitor,
smiles as the sinners burn.
Deviant,
lacerate your flesh.
Militant,
devils child confess.
Blasphemer,
learn your lesson well.
Redeemer,
gonna send you down to hell.
Sign your name
or piece by piece,
death will be
merciful release.
(Chorus)
You will kneel before me,
I kill rob you of your sight.
Blood god
bow down humbly,
decapitation by divine right.
Heresy by thought,
Heresy by deed.
Heresy!
Excommunication!
Heresy is sought,
Heresy in breed.
Heresy!
Death and mutilation!
If thine eyes offend,
be in no doubt.
I will descend and then...
I’ll rip them out!
(Chorus)
2. Eye Of The Sun
Temple reaches to the sky,
in this year of feathered serpent.
Proud young warrior
stands in sun light,
with his back against
the world.
Sweat gets in his eyes,
starts to climb the giant stairway.
Head is bowed,
mouth is dry.
Awaiting death
the final word.
Every breath may be his last,
soon in time the end will come.
High priest will spill a life,
spirits praise ...
The eye of the sun!
Down on the ground,
grim multitudes are forming.
Heat haze hangs on the horizon,
shadows fall before their eyes.
Tension mounts
the appointed hour,
Is getting ever nearer.
Someone cries
god help him!
Then looks the other way.
Great stone idol
claims itÕs prize,
waits until
the day is done.
Immortality bathed
in golden rays...
The eye of the sun!
Oh but if
the holy writings tell a lie,
how many more doomed to die
In vain?
Never asking
knowing why?
The gods desire blood to give rain!
Solemn hush hangs in the air,
as he kneels before the alter.
Reflections of a past life,
flash by then slip away.
All hope of freedom gone,
as there cast upon the four winds.
Role of the chosen one,
was the price he had to pay.
Crimson blade arches down,
and then he’s gone.
Phoenix rising from the ashes
blazing like...
The eye!
The eye!
The eye!
The eye!
3. Cyberworld
I want you
to infect your mind,
neural assimilation.
Gaze into my electric eye,
retinal digitisation complete.
Transmit your data
trapped in the heart
of my mainframe,
drawn into a vast computer
game.
Surrender flesh
and let it slip away,
only the strong
shall win on this day.
Your memories now
I shall steal,
Ill drain you till you are
unreal,
and when I'm done
all hope is gone.
Chorus
In Cyber world,
In Cyber world,
In Cyber world.
Impulse waves
connect our thoughts,
challenge on man
and machine.
A mighty test
no quarter sought,
pixels fly
inside silicon dream.
implanted wires
hook into your brain,
your life won’t ever
be the same.
Heroes quest
of dragons and kings,
an endless flight
on virtual wings.
There’s no time
to think it over,
titans clash in a supernova.
raging on
till battles won.
(Chorus)
Surrender flesh
and let it slip away,
only the strong
shall win on this day.
Your memories now
I shall steal,
Ill drain you till you are
unreal,
and when I'm done
all hope is gone.
(Chorus)
4. Kiss Of Evil
We rise as the sun has fallen,
the midnight world I roam.
Life and death has no dominion,
but the grave shall be our home.
Naked alone you are defenceless,
like a body in a tomb.
Haunted in your silent slumber,
as I creep into your room.
You will hear me.
You will heed me.
You will fear me.
You will need me!
Chorus
Children of the darkness feed,
bring the kiss of evil.
Legions of the lost night breed,
taste the kiss of evil.
Love bites,
flying in the night.
We are flying in,
flying in the night.
The darkness of the night!
I am met without resistance,
my gift is bitter sweet.
Senses sharpened Nosferatu,
mortal prey are easy meat.
Joined immortal yet un-living,
once you taste my first attack.
fate is sealed in realms of shadow,
there can be no turning back.
You will hear me.
You will heed me.
You will fear me.
You will need me.
(Chorus)
I want it,
you got it.
I feel hot blood,
in the still of the night.
There ain’t no doubt
about it,
you heat me up
till I loose my mind.
Running wild,
in the city.
Your face so god damn pretty.
Your neck,
my eyes of fire.
Food for the love vampire!
(Chorus)
5. Eye Of The Zombie
Don’t go messing around
down there,
at devils bayou,
In the midnight hour
ain’t no place to be.
Strange things are known
blacker than
swampy water,
Dead men talk
and are walking free.
There’s an evil woman
who dwells
in sleepy hollow,
Once she gets her hooks
onto you
you’ll never be free.
Chorus
Eye of the zombie!
Eye of the zombie!
Eye of the zombie,
on me!
Eye of the zombie!
Eye of the zombie!
Eye of the zombie,
on me!
People round these parts
won’t never
talk to strangers,
Keep the shutters closed
from dusk till dawn.
Be on your guard
the night has
hidden dangers,
or you won’t even
live to see another morn.
She’s a black magic woman
Baron Sameads daughter,
dance into the fire
and she’ll
make you scream.
(Chorus)
Slave until the end of time
Sh’e s the devils daughter,
the living dead cry out
into an endless dream.
(Chorus)
6. Absolute Power
You tell me
that we live in democracy?
You tell me
that our children are free?
I’m telling you
were getting screwed
every way but loose,
cant you see
we live in heir achy?
Rich man lives his wildest
dreams,
fat act licking off the cream.
You gotta fight
for the right to live!
Chorus
Slaves and masters
lust for gold,
megalomania
takes control.
How much to sell
your soul?
Absolute Power!
Absolute Power!
Absolute Power!
Corrupts yeah!
Diamond Jim’s
living in the lap
of luxury,
Ivory towers
at the top of the tree.
Homeless starve
on the streets,
abandoned refugees
down and out
in cardboard city.
Poor man has to soldier on,
vermin to be spat upon.
Skid row
ain’t no place to go!
(Chorus)
Nation,
of limitation.
Know your station,
sell your mother for a price.
Nation,
of limitation.
Know your station,
sell your mother for a price.
(Chorus)
Absolute power
... Corrupts absolutely!
7. Whore Of Babylon
The seer has a message,
it spells out a warning.
Foretold of evil,
from times early dawning.
Lillith is her name,
she’ll drive you insane.
From hell spawn she came,
to find you.
She tells you damnation,
is nothing to fear.
Proclaims revelations,
is already here.
Black are her eyes,
beguiling with lies.
With blood lust she cries,
let the night games begin!
Chorus
Whore of Babylon!
Whore of Babylon!
Whore of Babylon!
Whore of Babylon!
Daughter of darkness,
banished from Eden.
She is the succubus,
lays down with demons.
Lucifer's child,
restless and wild.
A harlot defiled,
blind fool!
Queen of seduction,
bewitching the priests.
Lust and corruption,
the mark of the beast.
Haunting your dreams,
insidious schemes.
She laughs at your screams,
the nightmare won’t end.
(Chorus)
She’ll take you to the alter,
like a human sacrifice.
Easy virtue incarnate,
she’s a mistress of the night.
Priestess of seduction,
she’s all your body needs.
Eat you alive,
fuck you till you bleed!
(Chorus)
8. Golgotha
My God
why hast thou forsaken me?
Done all that’s asked in your name.
Why must my path lead on
to Calvary?
How could my death be in vain?
I preached the gospel,
from the highest mountain.
I reached the mighty,
beast of the field.
Who raised the dead?
Walked on water?
Tempted by Satan,
but I would not yield.
Chorus
Golgotha!
Golgotha!
Golgotha, oh!
Golgotha!
Golgotha!
Golgotha, oh!
I healed the leaper,
and freed the harlot.
The lame could walk,
my hands can heal.
I fed the hungry,
banished demons.
The blind see
through me,
but my fate is sealed.
(Chorus)
See how I bleed?
How can it come to this?
Broken betrayed
by a Judas kiss.
Thorns crown my head,
Messiah they call me.
Soon I will be dead,
mortal man from Galilee.
Holy father,
my time has come.
holy ghost,
now receive your son.
(Chorus)
9. King For A Day
I roam the plains
got no name,
don’t need anybody.
You are in chains
society reigns,
holding everyone.
People say they
cant understand me?
don’t you even start to try.
Barren skies in my eyes
gotta be free,
vagabond till I die.
Chorus
Do as I do,
do what I say.
You make the rules
but I don’t wanna play.
Know my own mind
go my own way,
doomed to follow,
who made you king for a day?
Who made you?
Who made you?
Who made you?
Who made you?
Who made you king
for a day?
Who made you king
king for a day?
Who made you king
for a day?
Who made you king
king for a day?
They pay for dirt
beneath their feet,
I stray where I want to.
Stay in one place
they spit in your face,
wanderlust grabs you.
People say they
cannot understand me,
don’t you even start to try.
Barren skies in my eyes
gotta be free,
vagabond till I die.
(Chorus)
10. Angels In Hell
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done.
There will be a reckoning,
on judgment day.
... Judgment Day!
He is here
the cloven one,
prince of lies
light bearer
Hel ben sha-ha.
Live in fear
all hope is gone,
the dead shall rise
see Lucifer
morning star!
No prayer for the dying
blood rains from the skies,
carnage and mutilation
Leviathan is nigh.
This is the end of days!
Chorus
Way on high
down below,
Angels in hell,
Angels in hell!
Way on high
down below,
Angels in hell,
Angels in hell!
We are the Angels in hell!
Demonic hoards
fill the skies,
damnated souls
cry out
in the fire.
Meek are slain
crucified,
they writhe in pain.
Burned on a mighty pyre.
Do what thou wilt
shall be,
the whole of the lore.
The great beast has risen
from the sea,
unholy war.
This is the end of the world!
(Chorus)
We are Angels in hell,
were going down to dwell
... Into the fire!
Cast down
into brimstone
and fire,
for a thousand years.
Earth bound
Satan works his desire,
Armageddon nears.
Chaos reigns
Ragnarok,
out of oblivion
trumpets
sound over us.
Host remains
the hand of god,
in a flash of light
the saints are victorious.
Apocalypse is over,
salvation is at hand.
Triumphant martyrs
have made a final stand.
Fall to your knees
to give praise.
(Chorus)
