1. Evil
Evil takes my hand - it’s with me constantly
Evil is my life - it is my therapy
Evil are my thoughts and my insanity
Evil so good. Evil so me
Chorus
Evil - You fucked with me, so it had to be
Evil - Thrashing and raging in hell
Evil - See it in my mind, that's all you'll find
Evil - The master of all will return
And in Hell you will burn
'Cause we're Evil
So fuckin' Evil
Sweet Evil
E-V-l-L
Evil is my life - it takes dedication
Evil I present without hesitation
Evil is what I sell, here's my presentation
Evii so good. Evil so me
Chorus
Evil takes me by the hand
Leads me to the promised land
Changed my life from oh so bland
Living to be Evil
Evil is what I was born to be
It's the only life for me
Raging mad insanity
Evil, fuckin’ Evil
Chorus
2. Crazy but Proud
You were my hopes, you were my dreams, you were
my goals
You were the reason 1 could live You were my pride, you were my joy, you were my
love
That's why I took all you would give
You made my life so full, your love for me so pure
You were my only friend, all sorrows you could cure
Chorus 1
But now you're wearing
It starts another bout
Can't take it - let me out
I'm going Crazy But Proud
I’m crazy and proud
Shout it out loud
Crazy But Proud
You took my hopes, you took my dreams, you took my goals
You took away my will to live
You took my pride, you took my joy, you took my love
Now I have no more to give
You left me down and out, begging you for more
You were my suicide - left me passed out on the floor
Chorus
Just one more time — But will it be the last time?
You make me shake, you make me bum, You make me rage
You make my life so hard to live
You left down, you left sick, you left me poor
You left me, Lord now please forgive
I slammed the door on you, but you just broke it down
I tried to hide from you, but always I was found
So now I try again
But I cannot pretend
That we won't meet again
And I stay Crazy But Proud
I hope and I pray
That they'll always stay
And one day I’ll say Sober & Proud
3. Master of No Mercy
A carrier of death, a stork in reverse
He blesses you with sickness, 'cause love is a curse
The arsenic in your Kool-aid, the bomb in your mail
He disappears in motion, but leaves a bloody trail
Drop to your knees, humble you pray
But you can't put of your Judgement Day
A knock at your door, who could it be?
You got a new friend, who's gonna set your soul free He's making a list, he's checking it twice
No amount of money can stop his vice
Chorus
A wink of the eye, a snap of the fingers
Now the smell of death is all that lingers
A doctor of death, with a Ph.D.
A specialist in pure misery
Chorus
The Master Of No Mercy
You fucked with him even though you knew
And now your worst nightmares, they all come true
You scream and shout, you beg and plead
But he's got your soul and that's all he needs
Chorus
The Master Of No Mercy
He's the Master, the Master Of No Mercy
He's the Master, the Master Of No Mercy
He's the Master, the Master Of No Mercy
He's the Master, the Master Of No Mercy
4. Day of the Damned
The world so long has weighed on me
Left me buried and forgotten
But now I've come to pay you back - decomposed and rotting
Digging out with my hand, it blossoms from the earth
Soon my body will be free - I start my second birth
They rise from the dead, coming to take your soul
They are the zombies from the grave, No Mercy is what they show
There's no turning back, the eternal rise
They come for your soul, there's no place to hide
They want you to burn, to burn in Hell
Day Of The Damned, get on your knees and pray
Day Of The Damned, 'cause they're gonna take your soul away
For years I've planned out my revenge
How all my dreams come true
The soul you've had while I've had none • I take away
from you
I eat your brain and take your mind and spread the
world with doom
So come with me and I'll unleash the terror and the gloom
So now my rage the world has seen
I return back to the earth
But sleep not easy as you'll see I'll have a new rebirth
Keep a candle lit for me, for to death you'll be a slave
And one day I'll come back for you and take you to your grave
DAY OF THE DAMNED
5. Controlled by Hatred
I see the world - it slips so far away
I struggle every night and day
Chances are my life will stay
Controlled By Hatred
Terror reigns my world, Lord please tell me why
I’m on my knees, I start to cry
I live my life - another lie
Controlled By Hatred
Scrambled brains, toasted mind
Look in my heart, therein no goodness will you find
I've turned my back to all responsibility
I have no place for all your sensitivity
And now I'm checking in, And now I'm checking out
Now I start to scream. Listen to me shout
Shout it out, let me hear what you're all about
Shout it out, and now you know what I'm all about
Bleeding heart, knife to cheek
Only the strong survive so I search out for the weak
I search you out and now you're right within my reach
Now you'll learn a lesson only I can teach
And now I’m checking out, And now I'm checking in
Now I start to pray, just another sin
Why can't I win? Seems like I never win
It's a sin, seems like I never win
Who am l, I feel no pain
I close my eyes and now I see so clear
I slip away - just left all fear
Not a sound, but I still hear - Controlled By Hatred
And now the world it slips so far away, looking back on yesterday
Leave me nothing more to say - Controlled By Hatred
I didn't think that I could ever try
Now tears of joy i start to cry
I free my soul and now I fly
Controlled By Hatred
6. Im Your Nightmare
Welcome to the nightmare - I'm your fucking nightmare
Angels shout as demons sing
Doors slam shut, doorbells ring
Windows smash, dishes break
Death is tree - you'll partake
It's no mistake
Now you shiver and shake
Asleep or awake
I'm Your Nightmare
Colors turn from green to red
Put the covers over your head
Sweaty palms, your heart beats fast
Death is free, your life is past
Chorus
Black star the enemy, white light such tragedy
Happiness is priced for me, I'll be buying - your death is free
All dreams come true, 'cause I'm your fucking nightmare
Closet doors open then close
Candles burn, dead black rose
On your knees you start to pray
Death is free, it came today
Chorus
7. Widespread Bloodshed - Love Runs Red
Raging mad, half insane, lost my mind ail the same
Widespread Bloodshed, Love Runs Red
My pulse is rising as you run from me
I start to sweat with pure ecstasy
I stick it in and now my Love Runs Red
Chorus
There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere to hide,
You can't escape, i can't escape
Laughing out loud, I'm crying inside, I can't escape, I
Cant escape
Praying this will be the night. Love Runs Red - that's right
My mind be wasted that be true - the victim's me, not you
My love for you I must confess
Now with my knife you passed the test
I stick it in and now my Love Runs Red
Chorus
Widespread Bloodshed, Widespread Bloodshed,
Widespread Bloodshed, Widespread Bloodshed
Widespread Bloodshed. Widespread Bloodshed,
Widespread Bloodshed, Widespread Bloodshed
Widespread Bloodshed, Widespread Bloodshed,
Widespread Bloodshed. Widespread Bloodshed
Raging mad. fade to black - you're afraid, so I attack
You cannot stop what you cannot see
It's in my body but it's not me
I stick it in and now my blood runs red
Chorus
Widespread Bloodshed
8. My Own Way of Life
My life - That's right
People try to tell me how to live my life –
I don't need it, I'll live my own life
Try to fill me up with false hopes and lies –
I don't need it. I'll live my own life
Show me the truth they say they'll show me the light –
I don't need it, I'll live my own life
They try to tell me I'm wrong when I know I'm right –
I don't need it, I'll live my own life
i don't need it, I don't need you, I don't need them –
all I need is Choosin' My Own Way Of Life, Choosin' My Own Way
Of Life I'm mad as Hell and I ain't gonna take it –
I don't need it, I'll live my own life
If you think I am then I think you're mistaken –
I don't need it. I'll live my own life
Lock me in but you can't lock me out –
I don't need it, I'll live my own life
You can cut off my tongue, but I'll still scream and
shout – I don't need it, I’ll live my own life
Choosin' My Own Way Of Life. Choosin* My Own Way
Of Life
I'd rather have a penny than a heart of gold –
i don't need it, I'll live my own life -
I'd rather die young than do as I'm told
I don't need it, I'll live my own life
Never one to turn down a fight
I sleep all day so I can rage all night
You say it's so, but I'll wait and see
I'm living fast, I'm living free - I'm free, I'm living on the other side
Choosin' My Own Way Of Life, Choosin' My Own Way
Of Life
My destination is my own decision –
I don't need it, I'll live my own life
Living fast is my only religion –
I don't need it, I'll live my own life
Trust no one ‘cause I'm no fool
I learn on my own – I don't need no school
Choosin' My Own Way Of Life, Choosin' My Own Way Of Life, Choosin' My Own Way Of Life. Choosin' My Own Way Of Life
9. Waking the Dead
Kept in the guard of Mother Nature's womb
Rest in the safety of their tomb
Sheltered by six feet of soil and rock
The spade is the key which their gate we’ll unlock
Why should they rest so peacefully
when we're up above in pure misery
I don't care that they already died –
that's not enough to make me satisfied
Wait 'til the stroke of the midnight hour Then we’ll set loose the darkest of power Hell's gates will open a new Judgement Day Now is the time the dead will pay
Why should they rest so peacefully,
when we're up above in pure misery
I don't care that they already died -
that's no! enough to make me satisfied
Chorus 1
Waking The Dead, Waking The Dead, Wake The Dead.
Wake The Dead, Waking The Dead
Tearing over tombstones, thunder blasts from the sky
Now we feel the tears that they cry
Mausoleums firebombed now rage in flame
When the dead come out. They’re bodies we'll maim
Chorus 2
Rob - Robbing their graves, stealing their bones
Bang - Bang our heads to their screams and their
moans
Fix - fixing the wounds even time cannot heal
Soon - Soon we will know how good it feels
Chorus 1
Hell's gates open, earth trembles and shakes
Now their pardons are over, they pay for their mistakes
Purgatory hammers, they can do them no good
But did they really think that they would?
Chorus 2
Waking The Dead - you said that it couldn't be
Waking The Dead - you said that we wouldn't see
Waking The Dead - you said that it was all lies
Waking The Dead • now the dead stand before your own eyes
Chorus 2
Chorus 1
This is not damnation or an act of God
Now the dead they rise, ripping through the sod
Purgatory has to wait, but how can this be
The dead are free, the dead are free
Chorus 2
Silence is blaring, the earth opens wide
History repeats, reburied they die
Darkness descends through nature's pores
Now returned to their sleep under earth basement floors
Now they rest, not so peacefully
As they've had a taste of our misery
I didn't care that they'd already died
That wasn't enough to make me satisfied
Return back to their tombs, now they lay
This is no game for the novice to play
Repeat not the word lest ye be forewarned
The punishment of Hell's darkness and scorn
Repeat not a word of the sermon said
A prayer for the dead, don't play with the dead
Don't try to comprehend what's going on
You can't understand, please don't understand
Waking The Dead — and we'll be
Waking The Dead - alright now
Waking The Dead, Waking The Dead
Waking The Dead
Waking The Dead - and we'll be
Waking The Dead — alright now, listen, hear
I said the words, what have I done
I thought it was cool, I thought it was fun T
The words I say, they start to change
The syllables now rearranged
A language I can't comprehend
I shut my mouth, it doesn't end
The bowels of nature open wide
I cannot move, I cannot hide
I can't believe the things I see
The dead are free, the dead are free
I close my eyes, pray it's not real
The presence close, coldness I feel
What have I done — Lord please forgive
Once they died, but now they love
I wake the dead, I wake the dead
I wake the dead, I wake the dead
