1. 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
2. Kill On Sight
When the Sun goes down
And street lamps burn
It's your time now
You've got a lesson to learn
Racing with the best
Feeling really mean
You're gonna face the test
You're a party to the scene
Crank it up
Set the place on fire
Burn it up
You're living on desire
No more rules
To the game
Life and death
One in the same
Filling every need
A man who's tough as steel
With power and with speed
As the music that you feel
Thrashing till you drop
But there is no pain
You can never stop
It's like thunder in your brain
Metal mongers to the very end
Metal music the power we defend
Driving forces cruise the speed of light
Feel the surge of energy
To kill on sight
Slowly forces rising
Driven by the sound
There's no compromising
The freedom that we've found
Down through the ages
Soon to be complete
We are tomorrow's warriors
Marching in the street
Metal mongers to the very end
Metal music the power we defend
Driving forces cruise the speed of light
Feel the surge of energy
To kill on sight
3. 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
4. Eye Of The Storm
Where is the light that guides me
Like the dawn it warms my soul
I wait alone in the darkness
Till I can play the songs
That make me whole
I'm lost in the eye of the storm
There's no way out for me
I'm alive in the eve of the storm
I don't need you to set me free..
Once the stage was but a dream
Now I live for the Roar of the Crowd
Sometimes it's all too good it seems
But when the music starts I stand proud
All at once the truth comes reaching
To touch your heart and let you know
There's a message that you are teaching
Power comes from within your soul
Look into the light and begin
To learn to ride the wind
There's no place on Earth I'd rather be
I'm alive, in the eye. of, the, storm
5. S.R.B.
6. 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
7. At All Cost
Do you see clearly
The image on the wall
Is true that man
Must surely fall
If we build foundations
Reflections in our eyes
Unless we look deep within
It's believing only lies
Shadows cast in likeness
Stretching with the Sun
Like the fear of death
They linger even though we run
Once before we lived in
Another space and time
Now that the Earth is our home
we need a reason for the Rhyme
Don't separate yourself from your dreams
Do what you must to survive
Don't give up and don't give in
You must keep your dream alive
Do what you must to survive
The consequence is clear
Regret will break your heart
lf you stop reaching for
The top you'll be torn apart
Nothing worthwhile is easy
The path isn't always clear
With each forward step
We take we bring
The meaning ever near
Fear plagues each moment
Conviction will decide
If energy is gained or lost
Nothing more can it provide
Against the odds we struggle
Each in his own way
But you are the one
That faces reflections of everyday
8. Destiny
No freedom for the man
With the button in his hand
He will end up standing alone
And on the day after
All hell breaks loose
The battle will be fought
With stick and stone
The beast has our backs
Against the wall
And the power to devour
One and all
Man must reach a higher
Plain for his world to remain
From this day forward
We must only look ahead
Tomorrow's dreams
May beome peace at last
Reality is hard to face
Til everything is lost
There can be no more
Living in the past
The beast has our backs
Against the wall
And the power to devour
One and all
We create our own destiny
Technology has come at last
Will it bring destruction from the past
Now will all this wealth
And knowledge ever shield us from the flame
History tells in grim detail
Of mans inhumanity to man
In search of worldly treasure and to rule
Savage wars raged on and on
As though there was a plan
But battle is the religion of the fool
The beast has our backs
Against the wall
And the power to devour
One and all
Man must reach
That higher plain
For his World to remain
9. 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
10. The Larch
