1. Downer
Flying so low to the ground
Cynical view, the world gone wrong
Banished utopia laid to waste before its time
Heeds the worst case scene in his heathen ways
Got no use for a crutch
Solutions bring more questions to your mind
Answers never found
Chorus:
Given life, but born to die
Made to suffer, age and go blind
Given life, but left to die
We're all goners when doomsday's near
Slavin' and wastin' our time
Spinnin' the wheel at the same old grind
Taken for granted, trodden and trampled
Fake smiles hiding rage
Jealous masquerade on crooked paths
Will my task be done
When the noose is hung before I die
Chorus
Downer, doomsyer, downer
Downer, truth-seeker, downer
Solo - Perry
2. Castle Peak
Slide Solo - Perry
From this tower I can see it all
Past, present, future in chaos
Many years ago I climbed this slope
I was young, down, in need of hope
A rite of passage to manhood
The truth written in alcove stone
Friends stry and turn their backs
I found my calling on that ledge
Visions of a deep blue sky
The roar of guitars in my mind
Chorus:
Natives planted their feet here
I find my dreams when I am near
It might seem bleak, but it's real
Castle Peak, the summit heals
It's a long journey down
Some slip, some fall, lose it all
I returned to blaze that trail
Striving to reach new heights
Chorus
Solo - Perry
In moonlight its shadow looms
Sentinel for the valley below
Seasons pass and trials true
The tower stands by the moon
Find the time to ride the wind
And scale the cliff to destiny
Chorus
3. On The Slab
Shootin' up and tappin' your veins
You're burning out, hangin' by gallows high
Makin' my gallows high
Stars goin' nova before their time
At the end of your rope
You'll inhale your death off a slab
On the slab
Chorus:
I still remember those days when rock legends they died hard
Never learning their lesson, stickin' those needles in their arms
Never heeding that warning till they're laid out on a slab
Turning off and turning out
Dropping off Earth's face
Escaping reality's walls
Tasting evil flowers, staring into space
Fading out and sinking low
You're losing touch
You're dyin' hard
Never growing up
Always giving in
Chorus
Solo - Perry
Reaching out for blue skies
Clawing at that gray soil
Taking the long slide down to a beggar's grave
Excuses so lame to glorify your game
Long since gone
Your family, they cry
Your beligerence
You gave up everything dear
Leaving your friends in fear
Leaving your friends in tears
Chorus
4. The Crying Of Lot 246
I climbed so high
Wanna touch the indigo sky
Hitting a brick wall
Hopes crumble, I scream and call
Rugged landscape, watch it bleed
Purple hills, got no need
Trees uprooted, toxic litter
Auction 'em off to the highest bidder
Barbed wire to keep us out
False intentions, there is no doubt
No man by his own hands
Can sell or tame this land
Build your mall, level it all
No retreat to the wild
Concrete entombs us all
No respite for nature's child
What belongs to all of us who walk the Earth
What belongs to all of us who breathe the air
Corporate men with pockets deep
Never climbed the mountains steep
They hide behind their city walls
Piling bills in bank vaults - Oh no!
Solo - Perry
Out of stone I'll build my castle
Politics, I don't want your hassle
Just got to live out my days in peace
Want all this pushing to cease
Rugged landscape, watch it bleed
Purple hills, got no need
Trees uprooted, toxic litter
Auction 'em off to the highest bidder
Oh no!
5. Throwback
Theme Lead - Perry
They say my hair's too long
They say my jeans are too tight
They claim I play too loud - too loud!
And lead the Pentagram crowd - livin' in a ram!
Chorus:
I'm a throwback, baby
Born too late
Well, I'm a throwback, baby
But I wasn't taught to hate
Got my axe slung high
My Doom notes don't lie
They watch my heroes die
Public eye don't cry
Chorus
People try to put me down
But they just don't understand
I'm a heavy rockin' man
Heavy rockin', heavy rockin' man, yeah!
Feedback guitar - Perry
Solo - Perry
Chorus
I'm a godless son
I'm the nameless one
Heavy rockin' raw
I'll split you like a saw - Buzzsaw!
6. Redman (Bang cover)
Nations died and lost their land
And sacred ground turned to sand
Our leaders words the cries of our kin
Aswirl around us, adrift in the wind
A weapon of war invaded mankind
Fatal germs killed all left behind
Sparing those few who fled underground
Unlike the Redman would never be found
We all need a wishing star
A spirit to tell us who we are
Our future's unclear it's baked in the clay
Give us a chance to start a new day
Start a new day...
Solo - Perry
Why we were spared we may never know
We're given a choice, a gun or a bow
Beneath our feet the survivors have died
Again through the calm of nature we ride
We all need a wishing star
A spirit to tell us who we are
Our future's unclear it's baked in the clay
Give us a chance to start a new day
Start a new day...
7. High Speed Love
Revs are climbing higher
I'm lightin' up the tires
Just like Formula One
Slippin' into fifth gear, hoping there's no cops near
I'm Attila the Hun - on wheels!
High Speed Love!
Smokin' on the eight track
Think I'm on a race track
Nicky Lauda here I come
When I hit the open road is when I go go go
Just like Formula One
High Speed Love!
Lead Guitar Fills - Greg
Break hard, heel and toe
Hit the gas, can't go slow
Oh, I think I'm in love
Double clutch downshift
Throw it in a power drift
Oh, I know I'm in love
High Speed Love!
Solo - Greg
8. Route 666
Cruising down the road, how could I know
What would happen that night
My engine just died, I didn't know why
My eyes were blinded with light
I started to run, then started the fun
For then came the Beast in the night
I turned round to see it beckon to me
And felt my blood turn to ice - to ice!
As it capered toward me, all I could see
Were eyes filled with fire
As I felt its caress, and the heat of its kiss
My loathing turned to desire
I leapt to its touch, fell into its clutch
My heart beat faster and faster
I knew it too late to change my fate
I was slave, It was master
When you travel down this road
You know you're sellin' your soul
To the Beast who is waiting
For you alone
On Route 666
Oh, now you've been picked
By the Beast who is waiting
On Route 666
Solo - Perry
If you don't believe what happened to me
Don't you call me a liar
Just look in my eyes; Don't look so surprised
I said they're filled with fire
Now it's your turn, and now you will learn
What it means to be picked
So goodby my friend, I'll see you again
I'll meet you on Route 666...
9. Shelob`s Lair
Escape from danger to the light of day
But they knew too little of Shelob's ways
Thoughts are stifled in the choking air
Forever trapped in Shelob's Lair
Shelob's Lair
Warned by eyes that never sleep
Orcs swarm from their dungeons deep
Nazgul's cries rent the air
The Ringbearer lies in Shelob's Lair
Solo - Perry
Shelob was hungry, intent on her prey
She never looked where Samwise lay
Even as Sam looked on in despair
She sensed an intruder in Shelob's Lair
Shelob's Lair
Too late she looked and felt the bite
The bite of Sting pierced her side
Stench of death filled the air
Now Shelob dies in Shelob's Lair
Slay that bitch!
Solo - Greg
10. Half Past Human
Travel forward into time, to see what's going to be
Evolution in reverse; an ugly thing to see
Fifty million centuries; Man-Ape ruled the Earth
Science is forgotten, as Darkness sweeps its curse
The dying sun flickers, like a candle in the wind
Man-Ape only laughs; there's still time for sin
Sacrifices to the Beast; hear their baleful cries
A ritual old as time; for evil never dies
The Beast has arisen; to lead Its Chosen Ones
Into darkness eternal, beneath the dying sun
Underneath the eidolon, the ritual begins
Thirteen screaming souls, to feed the one within
Solo - Perry
Earth is dark and frozen; there'll never be another dawn
The bloody rule has ended, for mankind's faithless spawn
Dead disciples, a frozen Earth, but the Beast It does not mourn
It croakes a laugh and turns Its thoughts to worlds as yet unborn
4th Verse Leas Fills - Greg
Solo - Greg
