1. Back On the Hunt
Through the darkness he came with the wind
Now he’s awake and on the prowl again
With eyes of fire that burn in the night
He’s on his way back, still afraid of the light
He hide and seek, crawls and sneaks looking for a breed
His head lifts higher, with eyes of fire, he’s found what he needs
Head bowed down, sneaking around, the victim is in sight
You won’t hear the one you fear, you’ll only feel his bite
A lonely girl in the dead of the night
An easy breed now has come in sight
His eyes glow stronger, his head is bowing down
He is in position, his feet don’t make a sound
The bite she feels, no one can heal, her blood is flowing fast
It all gets dark, she’s got his mark, now her life has passed
He rises slow, his eyes still glow, he’s feeling satisfied
The lovely taste, the feel he’s chased, he’s getting into stride
Back on the hunt for the blood that fed him years ago
He has returned from the netherworlds of death and pain
Seeking victims, lonely women, now he’s come back on the hunt
The good old scene, right before his eyes
The lovely girl, hot blooded and nice
A toothedge flash when he shows a grin
Something’s wrong when he’s to bite her skin
He hears a scream, a torchlight beam, the light is in his eyes
He feels a stitch, he sees the bitch with a winning grin
He has awoke, he feels a stroke, a sudden burning pain
A cross they take, his heart they break, but for how long will he rest?
Back on the hunt for the blood that fed him years ago
He has returned from the netherworlds of death and pain
Seeking victims, lonely women, now he’s come back on the hunt
2. Heart Of Stone
Givin’ it up, givin’ it in, I can’t get no grip of myself
The girls always leave and I beg and I grieve to no use
Trying to live, trying to love, trying to get something out
But to no use; I’m cold and alone and abused
I’m looking for something to come in my way
But nothing’s in sight and I can just say…
I say you, you turned my heart to stone
I’m hurt and abused and I’m alone
I said you, you turned my heart to stone
But I’m getting used to being alone
You just say – get outta my way
And then you shove me aside
The next day you tell me goodbye
And then you leave me alone
It’s no way that I can say what you’re trying to prove
There might be a way, but I just can’t stand it no more
Still looking for someone to come in my way
To let me feel loving, but I can just say…
You, you turned my heart to stone
I’m hurt and abused and I’m alone
I said you, you turned my heart to stone
But I’m getting used to being alone
Breaking it out, shouting out loud
You howl like a mad dog at me
Then you just leave me alone for the thirtieth time
I am used to being used and left with my heart in a mess
But now it’s been hardened
My feelings have chilled all in all
I’m no longer looking for someone to come
My heart has been broken and hardened to stone
I say you, you turned my heart to stone
I’m hurt and abused and I’m alone
I said you, you turned my heart to stone
But I’m getting used to being alone
3. Breaking Out
I’ll give up, I’ll give in
My head’s in a mess, my eyes they spin
I’m feeling restless, I feel insane
I gotta get out before it gets to my mind
I feel the panic growing inside
I gotta get, get it, get it out right now
I feel the panic growing inside
I gotta get, get it, get it out right now
Breakin’ out, breakin’ loose
But there’s no way out, no way for me to choose
Take me out, take me away
From this insanity, from this passion play
Breakin’ out, breakin’ loose
But there’s no way out, no way for me to choose
Take me out, take me away
From this insanity, from this passion play
The past is future, the now is then
In front of me stands the day with a grin
I hesitate for my first step
From the place that’s had me in its grip
I feel the freedom growing inside
I feel it coming, feel it coming out now
I feel the freedom growing inside
I feel it coming, feel it coming out now
Breakin’ out, breakin’ loose
But there’s no way out, no way for me to choose
Take me out, take me away
From this insanity, from this passion play
Breakin’ out, breakin’ loose
But there’s no way out, no way for me to choose
Take me out, take me away
From this insanity, from this passion play
Breakin’ out, breakin’ loose
But there’s no way out, no way for me to choose
Take me out, take me away
From this insanity, from this passion play
Breakin’ out, breakin’ loose
But there’s no way out, no way for me to choose
Take me out, take me away
From this insanity, from this passion play
4. Confused
Walking – alone on the shelf
Talking – to no one but myself
Soaking – wet by the rain
Choking – the agony’s like a chain
Feeling – like I’m empty inside
Reeling – I wanna run and hide
Sinking – deeper within
Thinking – ‘bout how my life’s been
Get away and leave me alone…
No please stay, I need someone around
Say a word, I gotta hear a sound
Tell me please
Tell me why my dreams have been dashed to the ground
Fearing – the fun and the bore
Tearing – apart my brain for sure
My life - is just a mystery
Hard strife – without a single enemy
Get away and leave me alone…
No please stay, I need someone around
Say a word, I gotta hear a sound
Tell me please
Tell me why my dreams have been dashed to the ground
I’m so confused, feels like I’m being used
Just pushed around on a dusty ground
I’m so confused, feels like I’m being used
Just pushed around on a dusty ground
Restless – I’m wandering around
Breathless – I just wanna shout
Screaming – my head’s in a spin
A demon – shows it’s nasty grin
Get away and leave me alone…
No please stay, I need someone around
Say a word, I gotta hear a sound
Tell me please
Tell me why my dreams have been dashed to the ground
I’m so confused, feels like I’m being used
Just pushed around on a dusty ground
I’m so confused, feels like I’m being used
Just pushed around on a dusty ground
5. Metal Attack
I’m breaking the chain while trying to gain just what I deserve
I don’t take no chance, no joy in advance
I wait and see ‘till I’m done
Crazy, lazy, is what they’re calling me
But that ain’t right, I’m as smart as can be
I’m never breathless, I’m never restless
As cool as anyone can be
I’m no sinner, no sinner from hell, but I sure ain’t no saint
Just an ordinary heavy metal man
With two feet on the ground
I ain’t no sinner and I ain’t no fool
I’m just as good as you, you better try to keep it cool
The angels in black lead the metal attack
We’re on our way back, the leaders of the pack
We’re never bound, defeated
It’s over the top, so we’ll never stop, we ain’t gonna give in
Taker, breaker, is what they’re calling me
I ain’t gonna change, it’s the way I wanna be
I’m never unsure, you can’t be too sure
I might be there by your tail
I ain’t no freak and I sure ain’t meek
But you sure treat me that way
I’m from the same place, of the same flesh and blood
I think your brain must’ve languished
I ain’t no sinner and I ain’t no fool
I’m just as good as you, you better try to keep it cool
The angels in black lead the metal attack
I ain’t no sinner and I ain’t no fool
I’m just as good as you, you better try to keep it cool
The angels in black lead the metal attack
A randy dandy is what you are to me
You know you look that way, when you move the way you do
I want the silver, silver and leather
It’s the way it ought to be
I’m ordinary heavy metal man
With both feet on the ground
The metal attack is on it’s way back

6. The Battle
7. Doomwatch
When you hear it strike you better hide and pray
It’s time for retribution, it’s the judgement day
It’s the conclusive moment, the ruin of the earth
Will it be an execution of the mankind herd?
Can we prevent this murder, or don’t we have the guts?
Can we defy the persons that drives us nuts
Why are they beating around the bush like wounded hounds
While the end of our earth is coming in leaps and bounds
If we had the guts to defy the big man’s words
You soon would have them all on your back, the kings and lords
In it’s time there’ll be a discharge, that is what they fear
We’ll take our vengeance for all our painful years
When you hear it strike you better hide and pray
It’s time for retribution, it’s the judgement day
It’s the conclusive moment, the ruin of the earth
Will it be an execution of the mankind herd?
Can we prevent this murder, or don’t we have the guts?
Can we defy the persons that drives us nuts
8. Sweet Fear
Driving on the wrong side in 105
Feeling the wind in my hair; I’m alive
Sirens of a motorbike police I hear
No cause for alarm, ‘cos he won’t come near
Riding through gardens, make my way through a park
Evil Knievle’s like a hungry shark
Hanging by my tail, but I’m not for sale
I love this game and I love sweet fear
I love my sweet fear
It gives me a thrill to feel the chill running down my back
I love my sweet fear
It gives me a thrill to feel the chill running down my back
Walking on the roof edge of a skyscraper
And I tell you I ain’t no vapourer
A thousand eyes all stared up at me
I love my sweet fear, it makes me free
Every night I’m on the edge of danger
While making trouble with some nightranger
I run for my life as he picks up his knife
We’re running free, my fear and me
I love my sweet fear
It gives me a thrill to feel the chill running down my back
I love my sweet fear
It gives me a thrill to feel the chill running down my back
‘Cos I love my sweet fear
I love my sweet fear
High speed on ice in the dead of night
Without breaks and with no lights
Feeling the thrill of the creeping fear
It’s my way of living, my greed is sheer
How my life will end, I ain’t got no clue
It’s so many ways it can do
But until that day is here and done
I’ll do my living and have my fun
I love my sweet fear
It gives me a thrill to feel the chill running down my back
I love my sweet fear
It gives me a thrill to feel the chill running down my back
I love my sweet fear
It gives me a thrill to feel the chill running down my back
I love my sweet fear
It gives me a thrill to feel the chill running down my back
9. Freelance
I was raised in the heart of the city
Never feeling on my own
Out on the streets looking real pretty
Riding high all night long
A pretty girl on each side, bright lights, long nights
Nice guy, pretty shy, but if I leaves it’s no use to cry
Come on baby, I’m freelance
I’ll teach you loving way outta hand
I’m offering you a free chance
To be with me on a one night stand
Out in the night, looking for some meat
A dirty girl, but oh so sweet
We’ll go to my place if you’re so inclined
Jump in bed and see what you find
Hot love, doing good, I’ll take you high, I’ll make you fly
Tonight, it’s alright, but tomorrow you get outta my sight
Come on baby, I’m freelance
I’ll teach you loving way outta hand
I’m offering you a free chance
To be with me on a one night stand
I’m freelance
I’ll teach you loving way outta hand
Then one night at the disco-in, what a girl, what a queen
She takes my hand and we walk away, not a word, not a sound does she say
So sweet, so real neat, come on home with me tonight
No way, does she say, I’ve heard about your dirty play
Come on baby, I’m freelance
I’ll teach you loving way outta hand
I’m offering you a free chance
To be with me on a one night stand
I’m freelance
I’ll teach you loving way outta hand
10. Time Will Tell
In the beginning, in the dead of the night
A planet burning oh so bright
The light of the sun couldn’t touch the ground
Because of the black smoke all around
The clouds drew darker and a rain was falling down
It put out the flames with an awful sound
Now life started growing in the depths of the sea
It must’ve been the way it was meant to be
You will see, time will tell
If you’ll go to heaven or if you’ll end up in hell
Will it end by the toll of the bell
The future to come, time will tell
A million years already has passed
The man is here for to last
Wars and strives, battlescars and knives
The fearful threats for his life
Do you believe in all that you read
The bible and koran, is that all you need
Dust in the wind is all that we are
Follow your master and you will go far
You will see, time will tell
If you’ll go to heaven or if you’ll end up in hell
Will it end by the toll of the bell
The future to come, time will tell
There’ll be a war, the third of it’s kind
You’ll soon see what’s in the generals’ minds
When it is over earth has turned to hell
When will it end – time will tell
You will see, time will tell
If you’ll go to heaven or if you’ll end up in hell
Will it end by the toll of the bell
The future to come, time will tell
Time will tell
Time will tell
