1. Fight Fire With Fire
Do unto others as they've done to you
But what the hell is this world coming to?
Blow the universe into nothingness
Nuclear warfare shall lay us to rest
Fight fire with fire
Ending is near
Fight fire with fire
Bursting with fear
You all shall die!
Time is like a fuse short and burning fast
Armagedon's here like said in the past
Fight fire with fire
Ending is near
Figth fire with fire
Bursting with fear
Soon to fill our lungs the hot winds of death
The gods are laughing so take your last breath
Fight fire with fire
Ending is near
Fight fire with fire
Bursting with fear
Fight fire with fire
2. Ride the Lightning
Guilty as charged
But dammit it ain't right
There's someone else controlling me
Death in the air
Strapped in the electric chair
This can't be happening to me
Who made you God to say
I'll take your life from you!
Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame
Wait for the sign
To flick the switch of death
It's the beginnign of the end
Sweat chilling cold
As I watch death unfold
Consciousness my only friend
My fingers grip with fear
What am I doing here?
Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
I can feel the flame
Someone help me
Oh please God help me
They're trying to take it all away
I don't want to die
Time moving slow
The minutes seem like hours
The final curtain call I see
How true is this?
Just get it over with
If this is true just let it be
Wakened by horrid scream
Freed from this frightening dream
Flash before my eyes
Now it's time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flame
3. For Whom the Bell Tolls
Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun on they run through the endless grey
On they fight for they are right, yes but who's to say?
For a hill men would kill why? they do not know
Suffered wounds test their pride
Men of five still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
Take a look to the sky just before you die
It's the last time you will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goals fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be blinded eyes to see
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whomt he bell tolls
4. Fade to Black
Life it seems will fade away
Drifting farther everyday
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free
Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me but now he is gone
No one but me can save myself but it's too late
Now I can't think think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm now I will just say goodbye
5. Trapped Under Ice
I don't know how to live through this hell
Woken up I'm still locked in this shell
Frozen soul frozen down to the core
Break the ice I can't take anymore
Freezing can't move at all
Screaming can't hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out I'm trapped under ice
Crystallized as I lay here in rest
Eyes of glass stare directly at death
From deep sleep I have broken away
No one knows no one hears what I say
Freezing can't move at all
Screaming can't hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out I'm trapped under ice
Scream from my soul
Fate mystified
Hell forever more
No release from my cryonic state
What is this? I've been stricken by fate
Wrapped up tight cannot move can't break free
Hand of doom has a tight grip on me
Freezing can't move at all
Screaming can't hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out I'm trapped under ice
6. Escape
Feel no pain but my life ain't easy
I know I'm my best friend
No one cares but I'm so much stronger
I'll fight until the end
To escape from the true false world
Undamaged destiny
Can't get caught in the endless circle
Ring of stupidty
Out for my own out to be free
One with my mind they just can't see
No need to hear things that they say
Life is for my own to live my own way
Rape my mind and destroy my feelings
Don't tell me what to do
I don't care now cause I'm on my side
And I can see through you
Feed my brain with your so called standards
Who says that I ain't right
Break away from your common fashion
See through your blurry sight
Out for my own out to be free
One with my mind they just can't see
No need to hear things that they say
Life is for my own to live my own way
See them try to bring the hammer down
No damn chains can nhold me to the ground
Life is for my own to live my own way
7. Creeping Death
Slaves Hebrews born to serve to the pharaoh
Heed to his every word live in fear
Faith of the unknown one the deliverer
Wait something must be done four hundred years
So let it be written so let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written so let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death
Now let my people go land of goshen
Go I will be with thee bush of fire
Blood running red and strong down the Nile
Plague darkness three days long hail to fire
So let it be written so let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written so let it be done
to kill the first born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death
Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first born man
Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first born man
I rule the midnite air the destroyer
Born I shall soon be there deadly mass
I creep the steps and floor final darkness
Blood lambs blood painted door I shall pass
So let it be written so let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written so let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death
8. The Call of Ktulu
