1. H
2. Lebanon
Sound of bombs runs through the air
In the streets of Lebanon
Hate filled soldiers everywhere
The troops of Babylon
Bloodstains on the footpath
Madness on the ground
Senseless forms of bloodbath
As you hear the bugles sound
Dodging the machine gun fire
Fighting for their lives
Killing with their hearts desire
No one can survive
Chorus:
The battle of Lebanon - a killer
The battle of Lebanon - destruction
Trenches filled with muslim guards
Rifles set to fire
Left the enemy battle scarred
Terrorist guns for hire
Repeat chorus
Planning all the strategies to break the enemies back
Send out the kamikazes on a suicide attack
The muslims and the christians are fighting for their rights
Take the war of Lebanon to masochistic heights
Massacre and bloodshed are just a part of war
The children are defenseless and washed up on the floor
Aerial destruction and submarines below
Shooting guided missiles to give the final blow
3. Terminal Reward
4. Woman in Leather
Mistress in metal rules the night
Her body's in command
Driven by lust, a bestial sight
Crushed cities of the land
Perverted mind, can't be tame
Smell leather in the air
Gleaming studs, hell's the blame
We all know who cares
Teasing our minds, this isn't for real
I know I must be asleep
Trying your best to touch and feel
Thrusting you into the deep
The world turned black the earth stood still
The mistress in metal is here
She treads her ground she wants to kill
The world's in the grip of her fear
The play is complete, shout it aloud
Hail the mighty king
Shriekings of flesh, lie dormant and proud
This is a mortal sin
Agony and pain, incisions flow red
Wishing it was a dream
Taste my sweat, almost dead
Give it a final scream...
5. Martyrs of Eternity
Have you thought about the future?
Has it spoiled your desire?
To worship your creator, and step into the fire
Without a doubt, there's no way out
You watch the children morn
It's serious, delirious, you wonder why you're born
Martyrs of eternity spirits in the air
Martyrs of eternity face of despair
Are we closer to disaster?
That's been brought upon our own
Do we answer to our master, whose punishment is known?
You've got to fight, within your rights, then live in fear of danger
Never give, your will to live, away to any stranger
Martyrs of eternity spirits in the air
Martyrs of eternity face of despair
Dying, looking back on our mistakes
But no one wants to learn
Dying, the children of the human race
Are part of your concern
Dying, every time you give new life
Another one will burn
Dying, martyrs of eternity
Whose souls will not return
Is it worth all the frustrations, do you think it'll all work out?
Did we fail the expectations, do people scream and shout
There's no remorse, without of course a question for the answer
They left no clues, there in recluse, the world has a terminal cancer
Martyrs of Eternity
6. For Richer for Poorer
No-one finds their peace of mind
Manipulation of mankind
An indication of the blind
There’s no answer you will find
Freedom of choice, freedom of mind
Freedom of speech don’t waste our time
We know what we want
We’ll take it in our stride
Money making is what it takes
It’s your decision there’s no mistakes
Hear the voices crying out
You’ll see the poor go without
Don’t ask them the reason why
They’ve all the power money can buy
Don’t ask them to split their share
Don’t waste your time ‘cos they don’t care
Destitution is not a crime
Revolution’s a waste of time
Administrastions enjoy the ride
The government is on their side
Don’t ask them the reason why
They’ve all the power money can buy
Solo : Mick
The rich get richer, the poor stay poor
The rich get richer always wanting more
The rich get richer, the poor stay in poverty
Why did they decide to call it a democracy
Repeat
7. Voyage of the Disturbed
Dreams, looking for a sign of intelligent life
Screams, trying to realize the American plight
Wuth dignity and pride,
the government denied
Pushing to the limits cos'
they're never satisfied
Please, look at what you've done
Chorus:
Voyage of the disturbed
Chalenging another world,
Voyage of disturbed
Voyage of the disturbed
Chalenging a future world,
Voyage of disturbed
Fear succumbing to the needs of political might
Sheer, astronomical pressure
you hit the speed of light
No-one seems to realize
the fate of history
Please, look at what you've done
(Back to Chorus)
Solos : Mick, Paul
8. I am Immortal
I fear no foe, I have no fear
See me laughing when death comes near
Pain is sweet and life is cold
There's no repenting when you grow old
I seek revenge, my master's hell
Crumbled ruins as his kingdom fell
Must take your life, to set me free
Turn your back on immortality
I am Immortal got no right to die
I am Immortal no one can deny
I am Immortal 'til the end of time
I am Immortal
I have no guilt there is no law
My blackened heart's rotting at the core
Break the rules a crying shame
Nothing matters 'cos it's just a game
Take your aim, the life you choose
Just one chance if you win or lose
Fight 'til death the battle is won
Revenge is mine the superior one
I am Immortal got no right to die
I am Immortal no one can deny
I am Immortal 'til the end of time
I am Immortal
Take you chances if you dare
Time will break your evil stare
Legend says it's you or I
Destroy the myth and you will die
See the sound of slashing swords
Piercing through your heart
The screaming of the civil lords
Wash away the weeping wounds, tearing you apart
The weaving of the evil hordes
The Master will scorn you, he'll even forlorn you
He'll give you a price to pay
There's nothing he gave you, no reason to save you
Have mercy you bastard, take your soul away
Traumatic tales of torrid tears, chopping off your head
Trapped into a terror state
Forcing off those fractured fears, finding out your dead
Forget about your future fate
The Master has cursed you, his spell has dispersed you
He gave you the price to pay
Revenge has been won and a new life begun
'Cos I am immortal
