1. Resurrection
I'm digging deep inside my soul
To bring myself out of this god-damned hole
I rid the demons from my heart
And found the truth was with me from the start
Holy angel lift me from this burning hell - resurrection make me whole
Son of judas bring the saints to my revenge - resurrection bring me home
I walked alone into a fight
No longer standing in satanic light
I tried to look too far ahead
And saw the road go to my past instead
Holy angel lift me from this burning hell - resurrection make me whole
Son of judas bring the saints to my revenge - resurrection bring me home
I've faced the things i've said and done
There is no bastard left to overcome
The peace of mind I thought was lost
Was right in front of me on paths i've crossed
Holy angel lift me from this burning hell - resurrection make me whole
Son of judas bring the saints to my revenge - resurrection bring me home
2. Made In Hell
From memories of '68 when the wizard shook the world
Metal came from foundries where the midlands sound unfurled
The bullring was a lonely place of concrete towers and steel
The coal mines and the industries were all I had to feel.
Something inside took hold of me, I really didn't know
But overtime it came to be, I knew which way to go
I drove around in search of what would make this all come true
From jazz and electricity and good old southern blues
Hell, we're born to raise some hell
Hell, we're gonna raise some hell
In henry's and in mother's where i'd go to bang my head
The feeling took a hold of me with every word I said
The voice was born and came alive from all I saw and heard
And now I knew my destiny, I had to spread the word.
I took the scream around the world
From london to L.A.
Unleashed in downtown tokyo
Blew godzilla away
Then on the sound and fury went from sidney to brazil
It sent the russians crazy cause they never get their fill.
Of hell, we're born to raise some hell
Hell, we're gonna raise some hell
Hell, we're born to raise some hell
Hell, we're gonna raise some hell
The stage and the lights and the amps are ablaze watch them burn
From all this insanity the metal god's will return.
Shock waves attack relentlessly, intimidating force
So many bands surrounding you with evil from our source
It screams across the universe and slams you to the floor
This blitzkrieg psycho mania is coming on full roar
The world's a stage that's waiting for its bad ass to get kicked
And we're all on the road to hell and that's route 666
Hell, we're born to raise some hell
Hell, we're gonna raise some hell
Hell, we're born to raise some hell
Hell, we're gonna raise some hell
3. Into The Pit
Bear witness to treason
Abeyance they cower
Compulsion of liars
Addicted to power
Into the pit
Into the pit
Conspiring for sation
Malfeasance on high
Obstruction of duty
Disorder will rise
Into the pit
Into the pit
Possession by force
Reprisal to task
Defenseless no longer
Expulsion by mass
Into the pit
Into the pit
4. Nailed To The Gun
Sig sauer. Victim of a system's non-control
Devour, striking terror into every soul
Communication breakdown onto self destruction
Schizophrenic people breeding hate
Pessimistic thinking from a failed connection
Survival comes when we annihilate
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
Paranoia, termination sickness zero's good
Blind power, executing humans in cold blood
Degenerating children with an opiated bullet
Poison flows from words out on the street
Trapped inside the home that has become the prison
Dissin' everybody that we meet
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
Locked and loaded, governmental lost to anarchy
Weapon goaded, magnum is gagging liberty
Cultural collision in an endless frenzy
Numbing minds with threats of violence
Hopeless to the dream of any decent future
Running on sheer fear and ignorance
Nailed to the gun
Nailed to the gun
5. Light Comes Out Of Black
Innocence is calling
Raptures in the past
Craving for salvation of the mind
Serenity is calling
Seeking only truth
Vision block forever left behind
Light comes out of black
Stand and face the fear
Give him eye too eye
Walk the walk right here
Images unraveling
Saw through the disguise
Crystal clear and shining through and through
Liberation traveling
Bringing down the wall
Universe waking coming too
Light comes out of black
Stand and face the fear
Give him eye too eye
Walk the walk right here
Let the fight begin
Watch the power soar
Work the magic now
Free forever more
Now feel the light
Lifting up and rising all alive
Now feel the light
Keep the faith inside and i'll survive...
Innocence is calling
Raptures in the past
Craving for salvation of the mind
Serenity is calling
Seeking only truth
Visual blocked forever
Left behind
Light comes out of black
Stand and face the fear
Give him eye too eye
Walk the walk right here
Let the fight begin
Watch the power soar
Work the magic now
Free forever more
Light comes out of black
6. Stained Class
Wild eyed and tight fisted
I'm fused to the bone
I stand contemplating
Reacting alone
Impaled with betrayal
The tourniquet turns
Society's creation
Pole axed out and burnt
Long ago when man was king
His heart was clean
Now he's stained class
Time has slashed
Each un-touched thing
So now he's just
A stained class king
Transfixed at deliverance
Is this all there is?
Faithless continuum
Into the abyss
Fierce is my conviction
Absolute my belief
I spit at you apathy
And seducer deceit
Long ago when man was king
His heart was clean
Now he's stained class
Time has slashed
Each un-touched thing
So now he's just
A stained class king
Lethal, deadly, hung, drawn
And quartered he slaughtered and faltered
And altered the world.
But by doing so smashed
All his hopes and utopian dreams
Whipping, stripping peeling the flesh off
Relentless and senseless
His lust snapped like vipers
Whose fangs sank in deep
To infest and decay from the core.
Impaled with betrayal
The tourniquet turns
Society's creation
Pole axed out and burnt
Long ago when man was king
His heart was clean
Now he's stained class
Time has slashed
Each un-touched thing
So now he's just
A stained class king
Stained class king
7. Jawbreaker
Deadly as the viper
Peering from its coil
The poison there is coming to the boil
Ticking like a time bomb
The fuse is running short
On the verge of snapping if it's caught
And all the pressure that's been building up
For all the years it bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Ready to explode
Jawbreaker
Crouching in the corner
Wound up as a spring
Piercing eyes that flash are shimmering
Muscles all contorted
Claws dug in the dirt
Every ounce of fibre on alert
And all the pressure that's been building up
For all the years it bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Ready to explode
Jawbreaker
8. Running Wild
I move as fast as I can
I like to get around
I'm crazy like a mad man
My feet don't touch the ground
I move amongst the night life
And they just step aside
'cos when they see me coming
They know I'm running wild
Dead or alive
There's nothing that bothers me at all
I take on all comers
They back off or they fall
They raise their hands to stop me
I laugh and I defy
'cos what's the point in living
Unless you're living wild
No chains can hold me down
I always break away
I never hear society tell me what to do or say
I'll taste the life that pleases me
Or raise a storm for all the world to see
I never stumble never fall
Never stop for rest
I rebel but I walk tall
And I demand respect
I move amongst the night life
And they just step aside
'cos when they see me coming
They know I'm running wild
I'm running wild
Get gutta my way
I'm running wild
9. Slow Down
Let it be
Still my anger
Bring me peace
From my temper
I'm trying every way I can
I'm doing wrong I understand
Let it be - slow down - watch the pressure fall
Bring me peace - slow down - I can't have it, I can't have it all.
Break the strain
Feed my hunger
Tell my mind
To be stronger
I've got to move and make it real
I've got to make myself a deal
Break this strain - slow down - give up what I crave
Tell my mind - slow down - watch what I can, watch what I can save.
Will I rise
Out of shadow?
Staying calm
Feeling hollow
I'm here to give me one more chance
That choice is resting in my hands, yeah...
Let it be - slow down - watch the pressure fall
Bring me peace - slow down - I can't have it
I can't have it all
Break this strain - slow down - watch the pressure fall
Tell my mind - slow down - I can't have it
I can't have it all
10. The One You Love To Hate (featuring Bruce Dickinson)
You may not like the future
And we're not here to preach to you
We'll take you to the killing floor.
You think you want to know me
You think you want to own me
But I have nothing you can buy.
I can break you
I can raise you
Bring you to your knees
Cause I'm the one you love to hate.
You can't fool me
You can't rule me
You only wanna hang around
Cause I'm the one you love to hate.
So come on get a load of this
Something you can't afford to miss
You're just a vultcher on my veins.
Your nails won't crucify me
Got money, but you can't see
Your only future is your past.
I can break you
I can raise you
Bring you to your knees
Cause I'm the one you love to hate.
You can't fool me
You can't rule me
You only want to hang around
Cause I'm the one you love to hate.
I can break you
I can raise you
Bring you to your knees
Cause I'm the one you love to hate.
You can't fool me
You can't rule me
You only wanna hang around
Cause I'm the one you love to hate
11. Life in Black
Life in black
You never were there for me
No never at all
You never took care of me
You just watched me fall
Life in black
Life in black
I placed all my faith in you
I needed you here
Christ knows what i've got to do
To rid me of fear
Life in black
Life in black
You took me for everything
As long as I live
While there's still one breath in you
I'll never forgive
12. Hell`s Last Survivor
I cry from the madness
Then reach for a hand
Stay on the lifeline
'till I understand
I watched my worlds collide
And drive me underground
I've been to hell and back
And beat the devil down
I'm all I have
I'm all I need
The last survivor
I fought and won
And now I'm free
The last survivor
I pray for deliverance
Grown from the guilt
Live from the bottom
Destroy what I built
I watched my worlds collide
And drive me underground
I've been to hell and back
And beat the devil down
I'm all I have
I'm all I need
The last survivor
I fought and won
And now I'm free
The last survivor
I will survive
13. Sad Wings
Who can say they've never made mistakes?
Only fools will suffer what they make
Owning up rids poison when you can
Admitting you were wrong makes you a man
It's every where
But do you care?
Sad wings of destiny,
Where have they gone?
I know eternally
I'll carry on.
Did you think that I would disappear?
Were you so dried up from all your fear?
Thought you'd make me feel impossible
You were wrong now who looks like the fool?
It's up to you,
What did you do?
Sad wings of destiny
It used to burn.
I know that faithfully
I'll see you turn.
It's everywhere
But do you care
Sad wings of destiny,
Where have they gone?
I know eternally
I'll carry on.
Sad wings of destiny
It used to burn.
I know that faithfully
I'll see you turn.
Sad wings of destiny
14. Saviour
I'm set to paralyze
I'm older so I'm wise
I have been crucified
With words personified
Here I am now, I'm your savior
There can be only one
I'm the master, past and future
Now the end has begun
I've always stood alone
Your time got overgrown
Those words shot way too wide
No hate can take my pride
Here I am now, I'm your savior
You can see I'm the one
There's no reason for such treason
Now your end has begun
15. Silent Screams
Look at me I'm chasing
After dreams left in the storm.
What I am is all that
Really matters now
The lies are gone.
Tempting fate and losing
Friends along the way I loved.
No regrets I'm standing
With a needle in my heart.
You'll never know.
My life means everything.
Still I scream because
There's nothing left to do until the end.
The world goes on.
With all that i've become.
And still I scream inside
Though all the pain i've taken
Hasn't changed.
Nothing's changed at all
The truth is like a chain.
Heaven's calling me
The place where I belong.
Killing pain
Close my eyes a million faces
Get inside my mind.
Take a breath and fill my troubled
Soul with all mankind.
Killing pain
The man in black
I'm coming back
To spew my evil hate.
My crown of horns
And bloody thorns
I dig up what you fear.
I am the shape
That's in your room
That watches over you.
I am the needle
In your heart,
You're disillusioned god.
I am god
I am fate
I am all the things you make.
Yeah.
Hate.
I am black
I am white
I'm the blood upon the knife.
Yeah.
Hate.
Since time began I made a vow
To drag you underground.
To steal your soul of purity
And watch you waste away.
I am pure
I am right
I'm the god that makes you fight.
Yeah.
Hate.
I am life
I am death
I will steal your final breath.
Yeah.
Hate.
I prey upon your broken dreams
Your weakness gives me strength.
I'm laughing at your silent screams
I'll crush you with my hate.
Yeah.
You face it all
And face the fear that's here.
Until the silent screams
Leaves you with no choice to carry on.
You'll never fall
When all is said and done.
The only scream is here
The journey never ends
It's just begun.
The lies that never learn.
The needle's in my heart.
And things will never change.
So every time I scream I'm killing pain
