1. Holy Martyr
One has seen the power and the glory
Whom shall save us from our selves at last
Prophets tell of latter years in mourning
Voices cry out warnings from the past
Disciples of the Dead- Sea Scrolls are preaching
The soul of man lived from the dawn of time
With every passing day
Mankind is reaching for the gift of truth from the divine
Do we believe in the Holy martyr
What is the secret yet to be unveiled
Must offerings be made upon the altar
Hallowed be thy name or has he failed
Reverance is easy
When you sing a Gospel Hymn
For the moment tranquil feelings do rise
But as trails and tribulations
Of your world begin
What once was truth is sabotaged by lies
Do we believe in the Holy martyr
What is the secret yet to be unveiled
Must offerings be made upon the altar
Hallowed be thy name or has he failed
2. Termination
Through the mist of not so distant future years
Comes a killer with a frame of steel
Though he may look like any other man
Something about him just isn't real
With the strength of one hundred mortal men
He stalks the city streets for you
With eyes that focus like a zoom in camera lens
There's nothing you can do
[Chorus]
Cyborg lust
Program - to terminate
Cyborg lust
Come to seal your fate
Man's technology caused this bloody war to wage
Computers try to take control
Laser blasts fill the smoky skies with rage
Mechanical beings fight with soul
The death machine is sent back in time to kill
The one who will teach us all to fight
Onto this Earth a young woman's blood must spill
To complete the program he will kill on sight
[Chorus]
Cyborg lust
Cyborg lust
Refrain 1st verse & Chorus
Terminate, Terminate, Terminate...
3. Dragon's Breath
Gaze into the valley where broken bodies lie
Watch the smoke that's rising a sign that more shall die
The beast has taken many the ashes tell the tale
Lord we ask for mercy and set out on the trail
[Chorus:]
Give us all sanctuary dragon's breath we fear
Shelter us from the burning dragon's breath is near
Spitting flame and fire dragon's here
Searching for a place where we can stand and fight
Death is the only trace left behind this night
From the black abyss he rumbles all the earth
With a demon kiss he claims another birth
[Chorus]
Oh dear lord save us all from the death, Dragon's Breath
[Chorus]
4. Teeth Of The Hydra
Destiny calls
To leave these walls
For only the fleece
Can bring us peace
I am to rule
A king not a fool
The prophesy I will defend
And sail to the worlds end
Fear the children slain of the hydra
For they will seek to kill upon command
None can escape the teeth of the hydra
From the teeth of the hydra
Come the children of the Damned
Many have tried
And many have died
So it is told
In search of the ram of gold
And guarding the prize
With death in its eyes
Lies a seven-headed serpent
In shadows awaiting the bold
We, have not come here to kill
But for the fleece
Be it the Gods will
We, same as the legend
The prophesy will be fulfilled in the end
Our battle has come
And I fear to run
But with my blade of steel
The serpent is done
From his teeth on the ground
With an evil sound
Grow skeletons of death
Wanting my soul
5. Battle Cry
Catch a fleeting glimpse then be on your way
Oh the end is near if you choose to stay
This forsaken land torn by grief and strife
No it's not worth the value of your life
[Chorus:]
The smell of death lingers in the air
Bloodstained bodies scattered everywhere
In the distance thunder in the sky
See the sorrow, hear the battlecry, battlecry
The carnage races on well into the night
As the sun creeps up we see the morning light
On the battlefield the tragedy of dawn
Through the crimson tide we still carry on
[Chorus]
6. The Curse
When the moon is full and burning bright
Comes a strange feeling
Something's watching in the night
I'm tossing and turning
In a cold and sweaty bed
I search for answers
To questions that are ringing in my head
Must I kill again tonight
How can I fight the Beast within
Must I kill again tonight
My soul will burn from the sin
Must I kill again
Forty thousand years have passed
But man has never Learned
Legendary fears are,
Cast in blood that doesn't burn
Only a shot of silver
Can release these chains that bind
A bullet from a holy Cross
Brings the kiss of death so kind
Savage instincts rules me
Grim despair entombs me
Haunting dreams torment and control
The hunger for flesh devours
A curse immortal powers
Inhuman lust to kill tears at my soul
Severe the bloodline
Give me release
The undead are screaming
For vengeance and peace
7. Nightmares
8. Bounty Hunter
I am the bastard
Fallen from grace
I am the nightmare
Your gonna me face to face
I am the bunter
Killing is my game
When you least expect me
I might set you aflame
I am the hunter
If you meet my price
I will do the dirty deed
On a human sacrifice
All these years I've traveled
From the desert to the sea
I am the man with the final plan
To set your spirit free
Cross my path in terror
Mercy I've never tried
I've given no fair warning
To the uncounted who have died
The battleaxe I'm wielding
Is favored to the gun
Brass knuckles are a pleasure
There's only pieces when I'm done
You'll never see me coming
Yet you'll feel the pain
Shadows hide my evil
I'm on the prowl again
I am the hunter
Assassin from days of old
I hunt my bounty
For silver and for gold
9. Thorn In Your Flesh
Feel it stabbing in the air
You talk to me of reasons
Why you don't care
You're always pushing harder
I can't get no rest
If I couId just remember
Remember my name
[Chorus]
Cause I'm the thorn in your flesh
Yes I'm the thorn in your flesh
Call of the wild keeps you there
Oh well I guess I'm the last of things to do on your list
You keep on counting higher
And if you get any lower
I guess you'll blast away what's left of my brain
[Chorus]
Cause I'm the thorn in your flesh
Yes I'm the thorn in your flesh
I never had me no place to roam
I never had a thing of my own
Now you fill me up with your fire
Let me feel desire
[Chorus]
Cause I'm the thorn in your flesh
Yes I'm the thorn in your flesh
10. Die By The Blade
All through the night steel by your side
Journey into the darkness beyond southern lights
A mission of vengeance and terror we are the reign
You live by the sword you'll die die by the blade
You stand in my way a fatal mistake
The path of destruction lies lies in your way
Nowhere to run the nightmare is real
There's no way escaping the wrath the wrath of my steel
[Chorus:]
You live by the sword you'll die by the blade
Stand for the fight your life I will take
You'll die by the blade
On into the night steel by your side
Journey into the darkness beyond southern lights
A mission of vengeance and terror we are the reign
You live by the sword you'll die die by the blade
[Chorus]
11. Hell's Gates
Evil winds howl 'cross the frozen plain
Demons fury floods my mind again
Multitudes of homeless wander lost and scared
Into the burning lake of fire they are dared
Hell's gates open with a dream
Feel the fire lick your body clean
Hell waits the time is soon at hand
Hell's gates will open where you stand
Another shaded face among the crowd
Mindless voices screaming right out loud
Ghostly chanting ringing in my head
Shaping frightful visions of the totured and the dead
Hell's gates open with a dream
Feel the fire lick your body clean
Hell waits the time is soon at hand
Hell's gates, Hell's gates
Will open where you stand
Pages turn sinners burn
Judgment comes to all
Satan's rule for the fool
Who never ssaw the fall
Days will end God will send
His only son to slay
The demons seeds of hate and greed
Has eternal debts to pay
Hell's gates open with a dream
Feel the fire lick your body clean
Hell waits the time is soon at hand
Hell's gates are opening like he planned
