"Tyrant" (1976 Single)
1. Tyrant
2. Rocka Rolla
3. Genocide
1. Tyrant
Behold, 'tis I the commander
Whose grip controls you all
Resist me not, surrender
I'll no compassion call
Tyrant, capture of humanity
Tyrant, conqueror of all
Tyrant, hideous destructor
Tyrant, every man shall fall
Your very lives are held within my fingers
I snap them and you cower down in fear
You spineless things who belly down to slither
To the end of the world you follow to be near
Tyrant, capture of humanity
Tyrant, conqueror of all
Tyrant, hideous destructor
Tyrant, every man shall fall
Mourn for us oppressed in fear
Chained and shackled, we are bound
Freedom choked, in dread we live
Since Tyrant was enthroned
I listen not to sympathy
Whilst ruler of this land
Withdraw your feeble aches and moans
Or suffer smite from this my hand
Tyrant, capture of humanity
Tyrant, conqueror of all
Tyrant, hideous destructor
Tyrant, every man shall fall
Mourn for us oppressed in fear
Chained and shackled, we are bound
Freedom choked, in dread we live
Since Tyrant was enthroned
My legions faithful onto death
I'll summon to my court
And as you perish each of you
Shall scream as you are sought
Tyrant, capture of humanity
Tyrant, conqueror of all
Tyrant, hideous destructor
Tyrant, every man shall fall
2. Rocka Rolla
Man eatin' momma, steam driven hammer
Sorts the men out from the boys
Takes no messin', all in wrestlin'
Is one of her pride and joys
She a classy, flashy lassy
Imitation sapphire shine
Two faced liar, full of fire
But I know the flame is mine
Rocka rolla woman for a rocka rolla man
You can take her if you want her
If you think you can
Rocka rolla woman for a rocka rolla man
You can take her if you want her you can
She's a grip and choke ya
Heavy smoker
Wrong side of the law
Midnight shady
Good time lady
Heavy, ready show you what for
Barroom fighter
Ten pint a nighter
Definite ninety-nine
Diamond cluster
Knuckle duster
Feline on the borderline
Rocka rolla woman for a rocka rolla man
You can take her if you want her
If you think you can
Rocka rolla woman for a rocka rolla man
You can take her if you want her you can
3. Genocide
Mercenary battalions
Are poised to strike us down
Terminations conquest
Upon us now fullgrown
Save me, my heart's open wide
Help me, no question of pride
Save me, my people have died
Total genocide
Devastation hungers
She waits to leap to earth
Imminent liquidation
Before the grand rebirth
Save me, my heart's open wide
Help me, no question of pride
Help me, my people have died
Total genocide
Sin after sin I have endured
Yet the wounds I bare are the wounds of love
Frantic mindless zombies
Grab at fleeting time
Lost in cold perplexion
Waiting for the sign
Generations tremble
Clinging face to face
Helpless situation
To end the perfect race
Flashing senseless sabers
Cut us to the ground
Eager for the life blood
Of all who can be found
Save me, my heart's open wide
Help me, no question of pride
Save me, my people have died
Total genocide
Slice to the left, slice to the right
None to retaliate, none will fight
Chopping at the hearts, snuffing out the lives
This race departs, no-one will survive
Heads to the feet, feet to the air
Souls to the soil, heavy in despair
End of all ends, body into dust
To greet death friends, extinction is a must
