1. Am I Evil?
My mother was a witch, she was burned alive
Thankless little bitch, for the tears I cried
Take her down now, don't wanna see her face
Blistered and burnt, can't hide my disgrace
27 every one was nice, gotta see them,
Make them pay the price
See their bodies out on the ice, take my time
Am I evil, yes I am
Am I evil, I am man
As I watched my Mother die, I lost my head
Revenge now I sought, to break with my bread
Takin' no chances, you come with me
I'll split you to the bone
Help set you free.
27 every one was nice, gotta see them,
Make them pay the price
See their bodies out on the ice, take my time
Am I evil, yes I am
Am I evil, I am man
On with the action now, I'll strip your pride
I'll spread your blood around, I'll see you ride
Your face is scarred with steel, wounds deep and neat
Like a double dozen before you, smell so sweet.
27 every one was nice, gotta see them,
Make them pay the price
See their bodies out on the ice, take my time
Am I evil, yes I am
Am I evil, I am man
I'll make my residence, I'll watch your fire
You can come with me, sweet desire
My face is long forgotten, my face not my own
Sweet and timely whore, take me home.
2. Lightning to the Nations (live)
Yes i'm coming
Angel from the sky, put his hand in mine
I can spread you gifts, for golden present time
i'm going to set you down
I'm going to make it right
I'm going to bring it home
I'll bring you lightning to the nations
To the nations
To the nations
To the nations
From the shores of home, we send a gift of love
To sweet and hopeful hearts, a gift from high above
I'm going to set you down
I'm going to make it right
I'm going to bring it home
I'll bring you lightning to the nations
To the nations
To the nations
To the nations
Here it comes now
London
New York
To the nations
To the nations
Lightning to the Nations
3. The Prince
Now I see his face, I've seen him smile
Such in a lonely place, no golden mile
His eyes tell morbid tales, of his black heart
His deeds through ages past, tell of his part
See his face, see his smile
Time to die An angel from below, change my dreams
I want for glory's hour, for wealth's esteem
I wish to sell my soul, to be reborn
I wish for earthly riches, don't want no crown of thorns
See his face, see his smile
Time to die I was born a fool, don't want to stay that way
Devil take my soul, with diamonds you repay
I don't care for heaven, don't you look for me to cry
And I will burn in Hell, from the day I die
See his face, see his smile
Time to die
4. It's Electric
I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
Gotta groove from night to day
Gotta blow my honey jar, yeah
Gotta blow my blues away
I'm gonna make a stand
I'm gonna make a million
I'm gonna make it with you
I'm gonna be with my friend
I'm gonna put you through
It's electric,
It's electric,
It's electric,
It's electric,
I stop on red but I leave on amber
Danger paves my way
I'm gonna make it my friend
Gonna make it today
Gonna get the dust from my heels,
Down the highway I go
Gonna get the stars from my brow
Playing in a rock 'n' roll show
It's electric,
It's electric,
It's electric,
It's electric,
I stop on red but I leave on amber
Danger paves my way
I'm gonna make it my friend
Gonna make it today
Gonna get the dust from my heels,
Down the highway I go
Gonna get the stars from my brow
Playing in a rock 'n' roll show
It's electric,
It's electric,
It's electric,
It's electric,
5. Helpless
I gotta see you moving fast, see you come my way
See the dreams, I hope they last, never fade away
Gotta see the lights above, make it loud tonight
Gotta set it all on fire, set it all alight
I can see the flashing lights, hear the thunder roll
I am gonna set you alight
Gotta make it man, I ain't got no choice
Gotta fill this hall tonight
Helpless, Helpless, Helpless, Helpless
Helpless, Helpless, Helpless, Helpless
I don't know what I'm gonna do, maybe not tonight, yeah
Gotta set you all afire, gotta treat you right
I can see the flashing lights, lazer for your love
Gotta hear the thunder roar, coming from above
See the flashing lights, hear the thunder roar
I am gonna set you all alight
Gotta make it man, I ain't got no choice
Gotta fill this hall tonight
Helpless, Helpless, Helpless, Helpless
Helpless, Helpless, Helpless, Helpless
I can see the stars, I can see what's going on
Every night alone, I sing my songs just for fun
Only time will tell if I make it myself someday
The stage is mine, music is my destiny
Cannot squeeze the life from me
I can see the stars, I can see what's going on
Every night alone, I sing my songs just for fun
This business ain't for laughs, business men don't like it so
Helpless maybe babe, but you can still enjoy the show
Cannot squeeze the life from me
Gotta be good, see you tonight
I know that was fine
Gotta be safe, gotta be true
You know that you're mine
Help me now, I'm coming home, ohh
Gotta be fine, gotta be right
You'll set me alight
Help me now, I'm coming home
I can see the band from miles away
Looks so right, feels so tight, oohh
Feels so fine, feels so good. oohh
Makes a man a whole man
Lord it's gonna make my day
Helpless, helpless, oohh
Helpless, helpless, oohh
6. Shoot Out the Lights
Let me tell you now, about a friend of mine
He tried to shoot them lights, with whiskey and the wine
He didn't get so far, ah his gun was wrong
Now my sweet friend, where's your song?
Shoot out the lights, shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights, shoot out the lights
Now that friend of mine, he never made a day
Didn't know what to do, told him to get away
I ain't going yet he said, I'm gonna be a star
I got a gun my friend, sitting in the car
Shoot out the lights, shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights, shoot out the lights
Let me tell you now, about a friend of mine
He tried to shoot them lights, with whiskey and the wine
He didn't get so far, ah his gun was wrong
Now my sweet friend, where's your song?
Shoot out the lights, shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights, shoot out the lights
7. Dead Reckoning
New York City
New York time 2084
Business man makes a deal for a nuclear war
Time is right, split the atom, and the Berlin wall.
Bring your dead
Nuclear holocaust will fall
Dead reckoning
Dead reckoning
Make a deal
Time is right to start your fight
Friends are here, all are waiting for the night
Just reckon, to see if its alright
??? Dead reckoning
Dead reckoning
City weeps, children run to hide their skins
Time will stop, as the nuclear war begins
???? Children die, but I'm sure no-one can win
New York City
New York time 2085
Business man, he is dead no-one left alive
Saturn sky, a fire has just arrived
I can see, what a waste for the tears you cried
Dead reckoning
Dead reckoning
Dead reckoning
Dead reckoning
Dead reckoning
I reckon you're dead
8. We Won't Be Back
O.K. No surrender, I've got fear running down my spine
And back to sender, this may be my last time
I get the gun now, over the top to death
Watch them cry, Watch them die
We won't be back again
No no, we won't be back
No no, we won't be back
No no, we won't be back
Please remember, remember me from my past
Please be tender, Momma, this letter may be my last
I get the gun now, over the top to death
Watch them cry, Watch them fly
We won't be back again
No no, we won't be back
No no, we won't be back
No no, we won't be back
Oh no we won't be back again
No no we won't be back again
No no we won't be back again

We won't be back
We won't be back
9. I Don't Got
I've been crying baby, oh there's no denying
I've been doing my best, I know I'm gonna keep on trying
Ain't got nobody, ain't got nobody, ain't got nobody to love
Ain't got nobody, ain't got nobody, ain't got nobody to love
I don't got, I don't got nobody's love
I don't got, I don't got nobody's love

10. Don’t You Ever Leave Me
Oh Babe
I can recall the day
Close enough to make me feel bad
Seems like only yesterday
Still in my heart it makes me sad
Oh no, oh no
Don't you ever leave me baby
Oh no, oh no
Don't you ever leave me
Oh no, oh no
Don't you ever leave me baby
Oh no, oh no
Don't you ever leave me
I can remember that night I cried
The love we had, you said you don't give me no more
And as you kissed my lips goodbye
I called out to you now to close the door
Oh no, oh no
Don't you ever leave me baby
Oh no, oh no
Don't you ever leave me
Oh no, oh no
Don't you ever leave me baby
Oh no, oh no

Don't you leave me baby
Don't you leave me baby

12. Play It Loud
Hey mom, what do you say
I've seen the lights more than what they say
The music's fine, I like it loud
I play my song, loud and proud
Yeah baby, it's alright
It's so late, I'll take my time
Light the lights and burn my brain
Sweeten me, it's just the same
Hey dad, what do you say, oh yeah
You gotta know, know, know what makes my day
You hit it good, you hit it right
I'm going on now, I'll be good tonight
Yeah baby, it's alright
It's so late, I'll take my time
Light the lights and burn my brain
Sweeten me, it's just the same
Play it loud...
Oh I want you to, I'll groove you too
Loud, oh, that's gotta be
You know it's gotta be
13. In the Heat of the Night
Steely eyes of a silvery people
Walk behind me, with evil intent.
Up to the tower, I stand alone
Stripped of rank before a throne I am sent.
What befalls us in the heat of the night?
What befalls us in the heat of the night?
Before long, behind adamantine doors,
I taste of the wine of their joy.
Through delirium of a tortured mind
Her face gave me strength to this day.
What befalls us in the heat of the night?
What befalls us in the heat of the night?
In the heat of the night
But love deceived me, and in my despair
I recalled the ring once again
Born of Sorrow my cunning revives me,
And I took them with me enchained
What befalls us in the heat of the night?
What befalls us in the heat of the night?
In the heat of the night
14. To Heaven from Hell
Lonely moor, sky is grey
Moon acroos the waves
See the steely shafts of light reflect across the bay
Towards the tower
The coach prepares
To shed its load of life
I'm prepared for what they see
For what they meet tonight
To Heaven form Hell
I've been there before
To Heaven from Hell
Sweet I'm Sure
To Heaven form Hell
I've been there before
To Heaven from Hell
Lock my door
On we go, up to the castle
Death waits for our call
left unkempt, but quietly praying
Remembers when to call
Alone for now
But soon not so
As we return to reclaim
The home of my generations
lost but now remain
To Heaven form Hell
I've been there before
To Heaven from Hell
Sweet I'm Sure
To Heaven form Hell
I've been there before
To Heaven from Hell
Lock my door
Oh Lord now help
Its entrance falling down
The madness of our fathers law
The pain of retribution
The house brought down to ground
Sins of my ancestors
The judgement day's at hand
Yeah
The creeping voice of fire
Screams out for bloody war
Send out the grave
15. Am I Evil?
