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. Metal Gods
We've taken too much for granted
And all the time it had grown
From the techno seeds we first planted
Evolved a mind of its' own
Marching in the streets
Dragging iron feet
Laser beaming hearts
Ripping men apart
From off I've seen my perfection
Where we could do as we please
In secrecy this infection
Was speading like a disease
Hiding underground
Knowing we'd be found
Caring for our lives
Reaped by robots scythes
Metal Gods, Metal Gods
Metal Gods, metal Gods
Machines are taking all over
With mankind in their command
In time they'd like to discover
How they can make their demand
Better be the slaves
To their wicked ways
But meeting with our death
Engulfed in molten breath
3. Riding on the Wind
Shooting for the stars
Cruise the speed of light
Glowin god of Mars
Body burning bright
Well I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind
Yes I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind
Tearing up through life
Million miles an hour
Blinding all in sight
Surging rush of power
Well I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind
Yes I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind
Ridin' on the wind! Ridin' on the wind!
Ridin' on the wind! RIDING ON THE WIND!
Thunderbolt from hell
Shattering aloud
Screamin' demons yell
Bursting through the clouds
Well I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind
Yes I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind
4. The Ripper
You're in for surprise
You're in for a shock, ahh
In London town streets
When there's darkness and fog
When you least expect me
And you turn your back
I'll attack
I smile when I'm sneaking
Through shadows by the wall
I laugh when I'm creeping
But you won't hear me at all
All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper
You'll soon shake with fear
Never knowing if I'm near
I'm sly and I'm shameless, nocturnal and nameless
Except for the ripper
Or if you like "Jack the knife"
Any back alley street
Is where we'll probably meet
Underneath a gas lamp
Where the air's cold and damp
I'm a nasty surprise
I'm a devil in disguise
I'm a footstep at night
I'm a scream of the fright
All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper
The ripper
The ripper
5. A Touch of Evil
You mesmerise slowly
Till I can't believe my eyes
Ecstasy controls me
What you give just serves me right
Without warning you're here
Like magic you appear
I taste the fear
I'm so afraid
But I still feed the flame
In the night
Come to me
You know I want your Touch of Evil
In the night
Please set me free
I can't resist a Touch of Evil
Aroused with desire
You put me in a trance
A vision of fire
I never had a chance
A dark angel of sin
Preying deep from within
Come take me in
I'm so afraid
But I still feed the flame
In the night
Come to me
You know I want your Touch of Evil
In the night
Please set me free
I can't resist a Touch of Evil
Arousing me now with a sense of desire
Possessing my soul till my body's on fire
A dark angel of sin
Preying deep from within
Come take me in
I'm so afraid
But I still feed the flame
You're possessing me
6. Judas Rising
White bolts of lightning
Came out of nowhere
Blinded the darkness
Creating the storm
War in the heavens
Vengeance ignited
torment and tempest
attacks like a swarm
Forged out of flame from chaos to destiny
Bringer of pain forever undying
Judas is Rising
Eternal betrayer
ice cold and evil
Taking no prisoners
dark prince of the world
Humanity trembles
enslaving you sinners
You can't beg for mercy
For none will be saved
The burden of shame
Echos the prophecy
Ascending from Hell
Forever despising
Judas is Rising
Apprentice revealed
Deceivers are crying
My crucified steel
Evangelizing
Judas is Rising
Judas is Rising
7. Revolution
If you think it's over, better think again
There'll be no compromise
Time to hit the power, feel adrenaline
Move into overdrive
Here comes the revolution
Time for retribution
If you think I'll back down or accept defeat
Brace for the aftershock
Take it to the limits, take it to the streets
Give it everything you've got
Time to come together
Revolution
Living on forever
Revolution
Get ready for the revolution
It's a revolution
It's a retribution
Something's in the air
Time to change, it's time to change
You better watch out tonight
You better watch out for the revolution
Bring it down, bring it down
8. Hot Rockin'
I've done my share of workin' out.
I wanna go some place, where I can scream and shout.
Show me the lights, where I can find
The only thing I need to give me peace of mind!
I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go Hot Rockin'
Where is the spark that kicks the air?
Where is the energy that charges everywhere?
I see the crowd, I hear the roar!
I feel my body to leave the ground and soar!
I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go Hot Rockin'!
I'm goin' out in search of the bright lights.
Somehow I feel that tonight is the right night!
I'm almost there, I've got the vibration.
It's coming strong from this generation.
My blood is hot, from now on I'm set free!
My pulse is hot, so don't try to stop me!
Cuz this is it, and I'm Hot Rockin'!
Don't let it stop, don't let it end,
Please let it carry on and on and on again.
I get so high. Knocked off my feet, yeah!
This is the only way I want, I want, I want
I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go Hot Rockin'!
It's all I want, it's all I crave
I just do want to go Hot Rockin'!
9. Breaking the Law
There I was completely wasting
Out of work and down
All inside it's so frustrating
As I drift from town to town
Feel as though nobody cares if I live or die
So I might as well begin
To put some action in my life
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
So much for the golden future
I can't even start
I've had every promise broken
There's anger in my heart
You don't know what it's like
You don't have a clue
If you did you'd find yourselves
Doing the same thing too
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
You don't know what it's like
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
10. I'm A Rocker
The greatest times, I've ever known
They're locked inside o' me
And carved out of stone
I've broken hearts
Made people sing
I've drove a million miles
I've done everything
I'm a rocker, Oh oh
Do as I feel as I say
I'm a rocker, Oh oh
And no one can take that away
Bring on the night
That's when I live
I come alive inside
Give all I can give
I live each day
Like it's my last
I live for rock and roll
I never look back
I'm a rocker, Oh oh
Do as I feel as I say
I'm a rocker, Oh oh
And no one can take that away
I'm a rocker
And I'm always revvin' up
I'm a rocker
I can never get enough
I'm a rocker
It's something in my blood
I'm a rocker
Wouldn't change it even if I could
I'm a rocker, Oh oh
Do as I feel as I say
I'm a rocker, Oh oh
And no one can take that away
11. Diamonds and Rust
I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual, it's just that the moon is full
And here I sit, hand on the telephone
Hearing the voice I'd known, a couple of light-years ago
Heading straight for a fall
But we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around
And snow in your hair
Now we're smiling out the window of a crummy hotel
Over Washington Square
Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could've died then and there
Now you're telling me, you're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You were so good with words
And at keeping things vague
Cause I need some of that vagueness now
It's call come back too dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid
But we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
12. Worth Fighting For
You said I could never find
a way to ease your mind
but where I go you wind up in the dust
I tried so hard to have you reach
another side of me
Instead you went to nowhere and forgot
So I wander on
asking where you might have gone
from what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for
Desert heat can wear ya down
but still I'm rolling through
Did I see your figure in the haze
I am driven by a thirst
to quench myself of love
The sun beats on me
for the price I pay
So I wander on
Asking where you might have gone
from what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for
yeah
Night road leads me to a town
I'm beckoned by the glow of jealousy
and tumble weed
They're calling out, calling out
Forever more
worth fighting for
I'm living in the wind
and bow down from what I saw
my shadow for a friend
still some things are worth fighting for
So I wander on
Asking where you might have gone
from what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for
yeah
13. Deal with the Devil
Forged in the black country
Under blood red skies
We all had our dream to realize
Driving in the transit
Down to Holy Joe's
Used to lose our head
While metal flowed
Nothing held us back or dared to try
Something in our blood
Won't let us die
We watched our world of metal
Watched it grow
Fueled the fury solid to the bone
Gotta deal with the devil
Cause you know that it's real
Done a deal with the devil
From a heart made of steel
Rollin' down the M-Way
Took it to the smoke
Bangin' heads there
'Til we all went broke
When we don the leather
And the whips and chains
Nothing matters more
We can't be tamed
Fighting through the din and accolades
Turn the phase around with razorblades
Watched the movement grow
Into one voice
Took on all the world
It had no choice
Gotta deal with the devil
Cause you know that it's real
Done a deal with the devil
From a heart made of stee
14. Beyond the Realms of Death
He had enough
He couldn't take anymore
He'd found a place
In his mind and slammed the door
No matter how they tried
They couldn't understand
They washed and dressed him
Fed him by hand
Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you
Withdrawn he'd sit there
Stare blank into space
No sign of life
Would flicker on his face
Until one day he smiled
It seemed as though with pride
The wind kissed him
Goodbye - and then he died
Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you
Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for livin' in
Yeah! I will start again
It can take forever, and ever, and ever
And ever, but I'll still win
How many like him
Are there still
But to us, all
Seem to have lost the will
They lie in thousands
Plagued and lost
Is nothing worth this bitter cost
Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you
Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for livin' in
Beyond the realms of death
15. 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
16. Hellrider
Here they come
These gods of steel
Megatron
Devouring what's concealed
Speed of Death
Crossfired they stare
Final breath
From vapourizing glares
Raised to man oppressed
Sign of persecution
Hellrider
Roars on through the night
Hellrider
Raised for the fight
All incensed
To overthrow
Strong defence
With armaments they grow
By this quest
Their fates renowned
Put to rest
Abominations grow
Time to ram it down
Judgement for the tyrant
Hellrider
Roars throug the night
Hellrider
Raised for the fight
Fight undying and eternal
Wheels bring death and pain infernal
Honour bound your strength repleted
To no end they're undefeated
Hellrider Hellrider
You fought their battle for them
Hellrider Hellrider
You brought them through their despair
Hellrider Hellrider
Your tempered steel relinquished
Hellrider Hellrider
You slaught them all extinguished
Wrath of doom
In killing fields
They consume
Their valiants never yield
Triumph to the gods
Vanquished of enslavers
Hellrider
Breaking their will
Hellrider
In for the kill
Hellrider Hellrider
You fought their battle for them
Hellrider Hellrider
You brought them through it all
Hellrider
17. 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
18. 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
19. 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
20. Hell Bent For Leather
Seek him here, seek him on the highway
Never knowing when he'll appear
All await, engine's ticking over
Hear the roar as they sense the fear
Wheels! A glint of steel and a flash of light!
Screams! From a streak of fire as he strikes!
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Black as night, faster than a shadowCrimson flare from a raging sun
An exhibition, of sheer precision
Yet no one knows from where he comes
Fools! Self destruct cannot take that crown
Dreams! Crash one by one to the ground
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
There's many who tried to prove that they're faster
But they didn't last and they died as they tried
There's many who tried to prove that they're faster
But they didn't last and they died as they tried
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
21. Living after Midnight
Living after midnight
Rockin' to the dawn
Lovin' till the morning
Then I'm gone, I'm gone

That's when I make my moves right
Living after midnight

Living after midnight
Rockin' to the dawn
Lovin' till the morning

My body's coming all night long!
The air's electric, sparking power
Loaded, loaded
I'm getting harder by the hour
Loaded, loaded
I set my sights and then home in
The joint starts flyin' when I begin
Living after midnight
Rockin' to the dawn
Lovin' till the morning
Then I'm gone, I'm gone
22. 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

You think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another thing comin'
