1. The Hellion / Electric Eye
Up here in space
I'm looking down on you
My lasers trace
Everything you do
You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye
Always in focus
You can't feel my stare
I zoom into you
You don't know I'm there
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye
Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
There's nothing you can do about it
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean
I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye
I'm elected electric spy
I'm elected protective, detective, Electric Eye
2. Victim of Changes
Whiskey woman don't you know that you are driving me insane?
The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my brain
Don't you know you're driving me insane?
You're tryin' to find your way through life
Tryin' to get some new direction
Another woman's got her man
She won't find no new connection
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through
Take another look around, you're not going anywhere
You realize you're growing old and no-one seems to care
You're tryin' to find your way again
Tryin' to find some new...
Another woman's got her man
She won't find no new...
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through
You bin foolin'
With some hot guy
I want to know
Why is it why
Get up, get out
You know you really blew it
I've had enough, I've had enough
Good God, pluck me
Once she was wonderful
Once she was fine
Once she was beautiful
Once she was mine, she was mine
Now change has come over her body
She doesn't see me anymore
Now change has come over her body
She doesn't see me anymore
Changes
Changes
Changes
Changes
Victim of changes
3. Painkiller
Faster than a bullet
Terrifying scream
Enraged and full of anger
He's half man and half machine
Rides the Metal Monster
Breathing smoke and fire
Closing in with vengeance soaring high
He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller
Planets devastated
Mankind's on its knees
A saviour comes from out the skies
In answer to their pleas
Through boiling clouds of thunder
Blasting bolts fo steel
Evils going under deadly wheels
He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller
Faster than a lazer bullet
Louder than an atom bomb
Chromium plated boiling metal
Brighter than a thousand suns
Flying high on rapture
Stronger free and brave
Nevermore encaptured
They've been brought back from the grave
With mankind ressurrected
Forever to survive
Returns from Armageddon to the skies
He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller
Wings of steel Painkiller
Deadly steel Painkiller
He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller
Pain, Pain, Killer, Killer
Can't stop the Painkiller
4. Turbo Lover
You won't hear me, But you'll feel me
Without warning, somethings dawning, listen
Then within your senses,
You'll know you're defenseless
How your heart beats, when you run for cover
Your cant retreat I spy like no other
Then we race together
We can ride forever
Wrapped in horsepower, driving into fury
Changing gear I pull you tighter to me
I'm your turbo lover
Tell me there's no other
I'm your turbo lover
Better run for cover
We hold each other closer, as we shift to overdrive
And eveyrthing goes rushing by, with every nerve alive
We move so fast it seems as though we've taken to the sky
Love machines in harmony, we hear the engines cry
I'm your turbo lover
Tell me there's no other
I'm your turbo lover
Better run for cover
On and on we're charging to the place so many seek
In perfect synchronicity of which so many speak
We feel so close to heaven in this roaring heavy load
And then in sheer abandonment, we shatter and explode
I'm your turbo lover
Tell me there's no other
I'm your turbo lover
Better run for cover
I'm your turbo lover
Tell me there's no other
I'm your turbo lover
Better run for cover
5. Exciter
Racing 'cross the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing through the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation in his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation bids to ask
Everything he touches
Fries into a crisp
Let him get close to you
So you're in his trip
First you'll smoke and smolder
Blister up in singe
When ignition hits you
The very soul of your being will cringe
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation in his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to your knees and repent if you please
Who is this man
Where is he from
Exciter comes
For everyone
You'll never see him but you will taste the fire upon your tongue
He's come to make you snap out
Of the state that you are in
Look around and make you
See the light again
So much self indulgance
Results in shattered eyes
Predominant complacency
Leads to beguiling lies
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation in his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation bids to ask
When he leaps amidst us
With combustive dance
All shall bear the branding
Of his thermal lance
Cauterising masses
Melting into one
Only when there's order
Will his job be done
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation in his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to your knees and repent if you please
Who is this man
Where is he from
Exciter comes
For everyone
You'll never see him but you will taste the fire upon your tongue
Racing past the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing through the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
6. You've Got Another Thing Comin'
One life I'm gonna live it up
I'm takin' flight I said i'll never get enough
Stand tall I'm young and kinda proud
I'm on top as long as the music's loud
If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another thing comin'
That's right here's where the talkin' ends
Well listen this night there'll be some action spent
Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots
I got an ace card comin' down on the rocks
If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain
Listen I ain't foolin' and you'd better think again
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You got another thing comin
In this world we're livin' in we have our share of sorrow
Answer now is don't give in aim for a new tomorrow
Oh so hot no time to take a rest yeah
Act tough ain't room for second best
Real strong got me some security
Hey I'm a big smash I'm goin' for infinity yeah
If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another thing comin'
7. Heading out to the Highway
Hit'em boys!
Well I've said it before, and I'll say it again
You get nothing for nothing: expect it when
You're backseat driving, and your hands ain't on the wheel
It's easy to go along with the crowd,
And find later on that your say ain't allowed
Oh that's the way to find what you've been missing
So I'm heading out to the highway
I got nothing to lose at all
I'm gonna do it my way
Take a chance before I fall
A chance before I fall!
You can hang in a left or hang in a right
The choice it is yours to do as you might
The road is open wide to place your bidding
Now, wherever you turn, wherever you go
If you get it wrong, at least you can know
There's miles and miles to put it back together!
And I'm heading out to the highway
I got nothing to lose at all
I'm gonna do it my way
Take a chance before I fall
A chance before I fall!
On the highway! On the highway!
Making a curve or taking the strain
On the decline, or ut on the wain
Oh everybody breaks down sooner or later
We'll put it to rights, we'll square up and mend.
Back on your feet to take the next bend!
You weather every storm that's coming atcha!
And I'm heading out to the highway
I got nothin' to lose at all
I'm gonna do it my way
Take a chance before I fall
Yes, I'm heading out to the highway,
I got nothing to lose at all.
I got nothing to lose at all!
8. Sinner
Sinner rider, rides on with the storm
The Devil rides beside him
The Devil is his God, God help you mourn
Do you, do you hear it do you
Hear the thunder
Deafen every living thing about
Can you, can you see it can you
See the mountains darken yonder
Black sun rising, time is running out
Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!
His steed of fury, eyes of fire and mane ablaze
Demonic vultures stalking
Drawn by the smell of war and pain
He roams the starways
Searching for the carcasses of war
But if it's hungry then it's very presence
Disrupts the calm into the storm
Curse and damn you all you'll fall by the hand of the Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!
God of the Devils, God of the Devils
Won't you help them pray
God of the Devils, God of the Devils
Is there no other way
Can't you hear their souls calling out in their brain
Can't you see their blood is boiling setting them alight
Thirty years now sleeping
So sound
War raises it's head
And looks slowly around
The Sinner is near, sensing the fear
And the beast will stop moving
Around
Can't you see their souls calling out in their brain
Can't you see their blood is boiling setting them alight
Sinner
Sinner
Sinner
Sinner
Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the
Curse and damn you all you'll fall by the hand of the
Sinner!
9. Screaming for Vengeance
Hey listen don't you let 'em get your mind
Fill your brain with orders, and that's not right
They're playing at a game that draws you closer
Till you're living in a world that's ruled by fear
Always takin' baby out that's OK
What they're givin' maybe it's out of phase with me
Told you once you're never gonna win the race
Same old no tomorrow -- kicked in the face!
We are screaming for vengeance
The world is a manacled place!
Screaming, screaming for vengeance
The world is defiled in disgrace!
Tie a blindfold all around your head
Spin you round in the torture before the dread
And then you're pushed and shoved into every corner
Then they lead you out into the final slaughter.
As the sweat is running down your neck
All your praying for's to stop you body breakin' up
Oh your heart is pumping, gonna soon explode
Got to fight the horror of this mental load.
We are screaming for vengeance
The world is a manacled place!
Screaming, screaming for vengeance
The world is defiled in disgrace!
So you wait it out and bide your time
Rip off that straight jacket gotta break that line
Everyone who wins in the great escape
Leaves a thousand more who suffer in their wake
I don't talk about it but that's alright
Table's turned now there's a revenge in sight
If it takes forever babe I tell ya I can wait
Send them screaming back through their hell's own gate
We are screaming for vengeance
The world is a manacled place
Screaming, screaming for vengeance
The world is defiled in disgrace
10. Nightcrawler
Howling winds keep screaming round
And the rain comes pouring down
Doors are locked and bolted now
As the thing crawls into town
Straight out of hell
One of a kind
Stalking his victim
Don't look behind you
Nightcrawler
Beware the beast in black
Nightcrawler
You know he's coming back
Night Crawler
Sanctuary is being sought
Whispered prayers a last resort
Homing in its' cry distorts
Terror struck they know they're caught
Straight out of hell
One of a kind
Stalking his victim
Don't look behind you
Nightcrawler
Beware the beast in black
Nightcrawler
You know he's coming back
Night Crawler
As night is falling
The end is drawing near
They'll hear
Their last rites echo on the wind
Huddled in the cellar
Fear caught in their eyes
Daring not to move or breathe
As the creature cries
Fingernails start scratching
On the outside wall
Clawing at the windows
"Come to me" it calls
Atmosphere's electric
As it now descend the stairs
Hiding in the darkness
Is so futile from its glare
Death comes in an instant
As they hoped it would
Souls ascend to heaven
While it feasts on flesh and blood
