1. Let There Be Rock (AC/DC cover)
In the beginning
Back in nineteen fifty-five
Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show
And all that jive
The white man had the smoltz
The black man had the blues
No one knew what they was gonna do
But Tchaikovsky had the news
He said -
"Let there be light", and there was light
"Let there be sound", and there was sound
"Let there be drums", and there was drums
"Let there be guitar", and there was guitar
"Let there be rock"
And it came to pass
That rock 'n' roll was born
All across the land every rockin' band
Was blowing up a storm
The guitarman got famous
The businessman got rich
And in every bar there was a super star
With a seven year itch
There were fifteen million fingers
Learning how to play
And you could hear the fingers picking
And this is what they had to say
"Let there be light"
"Sound"
"Drums"
"Guitar"
"Let there be rock"
One night in a club called `The Shaking Hand'
There was a ninety-two decibel rocking band
The music was good and the music was loud
And the singer turned and he said to the crowd -
"Let there be rock"
2. Metal Forces (Live)
Battles burn the wrath of hell the force cannot be slain
Men and steel we stand as one to fight on through the pain
Soldiers die the blood runs red we bear the blackest hates
Metal force now crack the sky and raise the seven gates
[Chorus:]
Running wild shellshock cracks the beams
Sweat and leather thrashing metal screams
Battle cries the power racks they roar
Blood and death upon the stage of war
The metal forces
Haunting mist engulfs the stage we make the final stand
Satan's troops attack as one and hold the death command
Fighting hard with axe and chain the flame it burns the night
Metal storm the heavens fall we ride on seas of light
[Chorus]
Metal storm a fork of light raining from the skies
Evil strikes across the land the metal forces rise
Darkness cast on blinded eyes this war cannot be won
Sweat and blood hail from above as the battle rages on
High on stage the end draws near we fight on through the pain
Metal forces stand as one this power runs through veins
[Chorus]
3. Power From Hell (Live) / Angels Of Death (Live)
The gates of hell have opened wide with deadly speed the metal it strikes
A fork of light rains from the sky To feed the amps with power supply
Killerwatts to be unleashed we'll show no mercy bring you to your knees
Hit the switch the power's free it'll blow your ears & make you mutha's
scream
[CHORUS:]
Onslaught...Power from hell
Power, power, power, power from hell
With the wrath of Satan in our minds we take the stage to play for our lives
When the power racks hit overdrive the banging heads they look toward the sky
Thrashing metal savage screams yeah this is hell it's not just a dream
Hammers pound at breakneck speed to crush the souls of those who disbelieve
[CHORUS]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angels of Death:
Tyrants from hell prepare to burn our souls
At the sound of the knell the Earth becomes a morgue
[CHORUS:]
Angels of death the seven trumpets hail
Tyrants from hell have lust to burn our souls
Death by the flame in darkness we shall fall
Nuclear warfare a war to end all wars
Fire from hell revelations told
Engulfed in this tomb death awaits us all
Power and greed are our captors in this hell
