1. Cover Up
It's too late to let the people know
It's too late to let your fears go
There's a cover up - in high places
Cover up! Hide your faces
Should have been ready for the attack
we could have beat them in the end
Sticking together, we could have overcome
see where your foolishness has led
Now the arrive, start to attack
Invaders falling from the sky
It's too late to stop the assault
The planet falls with a sigh
It's too late to let the people know
It's too late to let your fears go
There's a cover up - in high places
Cover up! Hide your faces
You stand in horror as the cities fall
You never thought it'd come to this
Now it is over, you dug your own grave
A planet crossed off the list
We should have shared all that we owned
We could have lived with them as one
But for your pride, jealousy and hate,
now the end of man has come
2. Turn Back
Come with me and you will see the secrets of the past
Find the key and you will be the one to make it last
Do not fear, wipe that tear, you can end the hate
Come on know, I know how, I hope it's not to late
Twisting time until it turns backward through the years
You might never understand, don't give into your fears
Changing things that never were, the future is at stake
Will you pass the final run or will you be too late
Turn back – a century of war
Go back – time to close the door
Turn back – a century of hate
Go back – no time to hesitate
Travelling down an endless void as the years go by
See the dead and dying, a tear falls from your eye
You do not hesitate, you know what must be done
A planet lies in chaos but evil's not yet won
Wondering if you did succeed, had you changed our fate?
Turning to a stranger you pray it's not too late
You ask her just one question, your heart is full of dread
But she just turns in wonder – "What is war?" is all she says
3. Victory In Disguise
them:
We have you here before us
Now tell us what you see
The people don't support you, in you they don't believe
him:
They always fear the unknown – the things they can't see
You had to have a scapegoat, the one you chose was me
Victory in disguise – the fire never dies
them:
You struggle for these people, why do you even try?
What is the sense in freedom when you yourself will die?
him:
If I can free just one life, my work is justified
It will go on forever, your power I defy
Victory in disguise – the fire never die
The smell of death is in the air
Why does the man – who they hate – cause them fear?
Is it because they know they're wrong and in the end he will have victory?
them:
Why do you fight for freedom when no one gives a damn?
Your little game is over, your death is now at hand
him:
I stand here chained and broken so you can be set free
The future is the answer – my death will be the key
4. Live To Die
Deep inside the darkness lies the meaning of your soul
Drink deeply from the knowledge so you will always know
The breath of life is just a sigh that whispers through the years
Blossoms in the sunlight – dies within your fears
You see him in the twilight
He turns and stare at you
Eyes full of hatred, burns you through and through
Memories are awakened of times and place past
Remembering the last time, you thought it was your last
You and I – why do we live to die
Locked in this game of hate
What shall we do to change our fate?
Through the ages you have battled
many times, many worlds
many empires have come and gone, many flags unfurled
Though you won the last fight, many more have yet to come
locked in eternal combat 'till we learn to live as one
Who'll make the final move – which one will start
Eyes open but they can't see
you play your part
Hurry now, do not wait
it's time for you to choose your fate
5. Kiss Of Death
You were faithful to the family
They gave you everything you could ever need
The don treated you just like a son
How was he to know that you would be the one
Was it the feds – did they have a line on you?
Or was it cash that turned your head?
It doesn't matter, 'cause when we are through,
you'll be glad that you are dead
Kiss of death – for your dishonor
Kiss of death – now you must pay
Kiss of death – make peace with your maker now
Did you think that you would not be caught
or did you think that allegiance could be bought?
It doesn't matter, in the end it's all the same
you made the final move in a deadly game
Just like Judas you betrayed the one you loved
On his power you did feed
But unlike Judas the tables have been turned,
prepare yourself to receive the...
Kiss of death – for your dishonor
Kiss of death – now you must pay
Kiss of death – make peace with your maker now
I don't know why I did as I had done
I feel as though ironic victory is won
and through this irony justice will be served
'cause I know in the end we get what we deserve
This is a lesson for those that will hear
just try and cross us, then you'll know fear
When you least expect it, is when we make our call
there's no escaping the hammer when it falls
We have the power to bring you to your knees
or make you dreams come true
Both the options are laid at your feet
now the choice is up to you
6. Cold-Blooded Killer
People live for the sunrise
I for the rise of the moon
They walk about in the sunlight,
like the dead I wait in my tomb
I awake and meet the darkness
feel the hunger in my veins
No way to stop these feelings
now it's more than just a game
It never ends – it's all the same
I need to feed to end my pain
I'm enslaved to my needs
I'm nothing more than a cold-blooded killer – that's what I am.
Cold-blooded killer – destroyer of man
So many wasted years gone
kill to live and live to kill
No end to all the slaughter
long ago I lost the thrill
I have taken the lives of millions
the innocent and the brave
With your blood I live on,
but in the end, I will pay
It never ends – it's all the same
I need to feed to end my pain
I'm enslaved to my needs.
I'm nothing more than a cold-blooded killer – that's what I am
Cold-blooded killer – destroyer of man
7. Blind Rage
Thrashing away in the darkness, the innocence of youth does provide
Fighting for honor and glory, for which they will battle and die
Broken bottles – shattered dreams
No tomorrows – violent screams
Crushing a path through the suburbs
taking whatever they will
Banded together by boredom,
blind rage and lust all they feel
Broken bottles – shattered dreams
No tomorrows – silent screams
No use in talkin' – nobody hears
No use in cryin' – can't show your fears
No use in tryin' – no future hear
Just angry people – blind rage
Fight for freedom – we're the only ones
Fight for freedom – we know what must be done
Fight for freedom – breaking all the rules
Fight for freedom – wasting all the fools
Fight! Fight! – Kill! Kill!
Living like there's no tomorrow,
no future for them in sight
Opposition gives them false purpose
Raw power gives them the right
Broken bottles – shattered dreams
No tomorrows – silent screams
8. T.M. (You Paid The Price)
What went on in you head when they told you
did you think that it was all a lie?
You were leading cattle to the slaughter
you still lived when all around you died
How many lives did it take to convince you -
did you see that what you did was wrong?
Serving death to the people of the city
were you so cold you could not see the harm?
Mary – Mary – oh the blood of a thousand lives stain your hands
Mary – Mary – but you paid the price
How did you feel when they said you had killed them – did you feel their agony and pain?
Or did you think that they were mistaken – you would never, never kill or maim
You wouldn't let them cut in your body
you thought they were nothing more than fools
When you have to answer to the master
their souls will avenge themselves on you
Mary – Mary – oh the blood of a thousand lives stain your hands
Mary – Mary – but you paid the price
I feel your sorrow, your agony and pain
It's time to weep no more, sentence is over, your debt has been paid
Lay your soul to rest
Did you finally tire of the running - or did your conscience finally get to you?
Did they get you when you were not looking?
Either way, your game was all through
26 years you were locked from the outside
They slammed the door and threw away the key
You calmly accepted your 'sentence'
for with your death you knew you'd then be free
