1. Beyond the Black
The war is over
The crypt we now taste
In the late 1900's, there is no human race
We split the planet with atomic birth
Man has died
We seal the urn.
Negotiations are over
Troops are marching to their doom
All that I see is a nightmare
The smoke is blotting out the moon
No, God please stop this bloody slaughter
We are off the beaten track
All the masses are rebelling
To withstand the dark attack
Will we make it back beyond the black?
Tanks are rolling in millions
See them come, and now they're gone
All the mountains are blackened
They said it came from just one bomb
No God please stop this bloody slaughter
Let it all repeat -- attack
All the masses are rebelling
To withstand the dark attack
Will we make it back beyond the black?
Will we make it back beyond?
Out of the crypt with faces marred
Seems the night has won
We unite as one
No more weapons, no more guns
Look out!
Food supplies are worth more than gold
Turn the young into old
With blinded eyes we count the cost
Of everything that we lost
Look out!
[Screams]
Watch out!
Beyond the black
2. Metal Church
Many, many years ago on a distant shore
Men did gather secretly beyond a hidden door
They travelled long and travelled far
Darkness through the night
Yes, this is the place they've chosen
To build another site
Congregation rises, starts to chant a hymn
Of evil, lust and hatred, the roots of every sin
The crazies stand before them while the others wait
Why they worship metal gods each and every day
All the evil things we do, the secrets that we keep
Metal church, unholy, can't you be the sacrifice
Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right
Metal church will find you, comes from very far
Metal church behind you, knows just who you are
No use in speaking out against anything we do
Now the story starts again, all the time is lost
Metal Church begins to do....
Watch the souls become lost
Metal church, unholy, can't you be the sacrifice
Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right
Metal church will find you, comes from very far
Metal church inside you, knows just who you are
The metal church!
3. Merciless Onslaught
No lyrics/instrumental.
4. Gods of Wrath
A lonely god you captured, do you feel the pain
Tried to help the people but your help was all in vain
You gave to us their fire, but who was watching you
Chained and eyes are bleeding, now what you gonna do?
Whoa, oh
Yeah! Alright! Come on! Right now!
Now that they picked you, a lesson has been taught
Join us now in vengeance and let the bodies rot
A thousand times a thousand is finally gonna end
Storms of war are brewing- we need your help but when
Whoa, yeah, ahh!
Gods of wrath
Gods of wrath
Gods of wrath
Gods of wrath are heartless when they left you hanging there
Cast out and abandoned, you had to pay the fare
Now's the time to break free and help us if you can
Cuz we're all behind you to start the master plan
Whoa, yeah, ahh
Gods of wrath
Gods of wrath
Gods of wrath
Harpies far above you
Saying you will never learn
Reach up to the heavens and let the bodies burn
You know you have the answer
You've always been a friend
Break the chains in anger and let it all begin
Whoa, yeah, ahh
Gods of wrath
Gods of wrath
Gods of wrath
God, come down, gods are before you
5. Hitman
Your woman's unfaithful, she's got a backdoor man
You've seen the signs and you understand
They'll soon be dead, now, I know just what to do
I got the guns, ha-ha, I got the tools
In the name of all, I'm just a hitman
I'll get the job done
No one will ever know it was you, it was you
They got their men promoted before it's time
You break a sweat and your balls before the moments time
Don't get excited, I got a plan
We'll take him down now, he'll be one dead man
In the name of all, I'm just a hitman
I'll get the job done
No one will ever know it was you, it was you
Just don't pay me, then you will see
What a dead man really can
You're at the cemetary feeling all alone
Just like a dog who can smell the bone
You start to cry or make one little sound
You'll be the next one, I'll put you in the ground
In the name of all, I'm just a hitman
I'll get the job done
No one will ever know it was you, it was you
6. In the Blood
Just the pain has worn me down
Don't play me far ahead
Living quiet, fighting for some time
Your gonna see one day
Your not listening now
You haven't heard a word I said
Your laughter burns hot
An existing pawn
Your lies are open now
Nothin' left to hide
Now, I'm telling you
Leave all your troubles far away
I've listened now to this dead-end shit
It all just sounds the same
Your laughter burns hot
An existing pawn
Your lies are open now
Nothin' left to hide
You're a big boy now
Get up off the floor
You what?!
Do you want to know
Coming to get you
Yes, everybody wants a piece of your ass
It's time you know the pain
Your time is running out
We're gonna meet on judgement day
Your laughter burns hot
An existing pawn
Your lies are open now
Nothin' left to hide
Hide, hide, hide, ahh,
Your in the blood
7. (My Favorite) Nightmare
Better flood that restless soul of ecstacy and fright
In a path, splattered gore all through the night
Wakin' up at midnight, my bodies soaked in sweat
All my friends are down the stairs, watching the TV set
Hearing now a scratching noise outside my window pane
Wondering if it's real or am I going insane
Running fast to lock the doors, a banshee now awaits
Seconds count, I warn my friends, or is it now too late?
A friend of mine is the first one out to check
Ripping flesh, [something] fly, we hear them slowly die
Then the cry of the banshee..., we run for our life
Scream! Scream for your life!
Scream! Scream for your life!
Ahh! No!
8. Battalions
Deep slumber awakened by sirens
I realize life's been thrown to the lions
What I saw last night, our city so fair
And to my horror, the bloody town square
The time is now, we must avenge
We form tonight, we kill tonight
We must rest to regain our strength
We form tonight, we kill tonight
Battalion advances surrounding their backs
In the night we'll attack with no questions of mercy
We'll take all they have and we'll drive them before us
Hear lamentations of women who cry for the loved ones we crush to avenge
Gather all survivors, the forces retreat
They've leveled our city, there's rubble in the streets
Surprise attack with no explaination
What will we do with a demolished nation?
Death to come for what they've done
Stab their backs, their necks will crack
Stronger than ever, our guns held high
Stab their backs, their necks will crack
Battalion advances surrounding their backs
In the night we'll attack with no questions of mercy
We'll take all they have and we'll drive them before us
Hear lamentations of women who cry for the loved ones we crush to avenge
The people have organized an army of vengeance
Struck them down, the bodies just like remnants
Dogs of war, like lepers that are shunned
We stand proud, the battle has been won
The time is now, we must avenge
We form tonight, We kill tonight
We must rest to regain our strength
We form tonight, we kill tonight
Battalion advances surrounding their backs
In the night we'll attack with no questions of mercy
We'll take all they have and we'll drive them before us
Hear lamentations of women who cry for the loved ones we crush to avenge
9. Highway Star (Deep Purple cover)
Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound
Oooh it's a killing machine
