1. The Living Dead
The night returns, shadows fall
A cold wind blows, I stand alone
A thousand voices, ghosts that call my name
Tears came once, so long ago
Been offered love, my heart was cold
Now in this life, I just don't know how to love
I walk through this hell that I made my own
No flames in the darkness, I have no soul
I have no future but always to roam alone
Don't cry for me, the nightmares I've seen
The pain inside me, I'm the living dead
The cries of the hungry cut deep to the bone
A crucified prophet, dead on his throne
He died for his people
But I have no one, I walk alone
Don't cry for me, the nightmares I've seen
The pain inside me, I'm the living dead
I walk through this hell that I made my own
No flames in the darkness, I have no soul
I have no future but always to roam alone
Don't cry for me, the nightmares I've seen
The pain inside me, I'm the living dead
Don't cry for me, the nightmares I've seen
The pain inside me, I'm the living dead
2. Mad Man in the Attic
I don't want to hear
I don't want to see
I wish I was blind, burn my eyes
I don't to speak
I've no more to say
I can't even scream, struck dumb
All the nightmares I have seen
All the lies I once believed
Now lock me up, hide me away
I'm the mad man in the attic
I've seen children die
I've heard countries lie
I've seen rivers running red
I saw peace leave, I had their disease
I won't ever not forget
I've not seen all this today
For years it's eaten me away
Now my soul's a rotting grave
I'm the mad man in the attic
Look around, see what I see
It's not the way the world's supposed to be
Humanity is now replaced by greed
See the scars upon your knees
Can you taste the shit you have to eat
Eat some more so you can be like them
I don't want to hear
I don't want to see
I wish I was blind, burn my eyes
I don't to speak
I've no more to say
I can't even scream, struck dumb
All the nightmares I have seen
All the lies I once believed
Now lock me up, hide me away
I'm the mad man in the attic
I'm the mad man in the attic
3. War Machine
Screaming with the bloodlust
Carnage all around
Laying waste to all who come
Their bodies on the ground
Pounding like a hammer
All those in my way
I crush their bones beneath my heel
I am the war machine
Run in fear, your doom is here
No retreat from the war machine
Saints or sinners fall around me
No one will survive
I smell their blood upon the air
Their fear before they die
Run in fear, your hell is here
Your defeat from the war machine
I was built a thousand years ago
To rage throughout the land
I bring destruction to the world
Created to crush man
Run in fear, your hell is here
Your defeat from the war machine
4. Brothers of the Tomb
Run to the dark, away from the light
Contorted with anger, ready to fight
Years of oppression, cast off these chains
We strike as one, we die or be slaves
Whipped until bleeding, many have died
Ruled by a tyrant, taken at night
Into his temple, brought to our knees
Begging for mercy, so our children can live
We were born enslaved
From the cradle to the grave
We begin the fight
Brothers of the tomb arise
Tears of blood will fall
Time for us to take control
Our kind must survive
Brothers of the tomb unite
Free from our shacles, free from his pain
Death to the man whose dreams are insane
Torn to the dark, hate in our eyes
His body lies broken, his kingdom destroyed
We were born enslaved
From the cradle to the grave
We begin the fight
Brothers of the tomb arise
Tears of blood will fall
Time for us to take control
Our kind must survive
Brothers of the tomb unite
Run to the dark, away from the light
Contorted with anger, ready to fight
Years of oppression, cast off these chains
We strike as one, die or be slaves
We were born enslaved
From the cradle to the grave
We begin the fight
Brothers of the tomb arise
Tears of blood will fall
Time for us to take control
Our kind must survive
Brothers of the tomb unite
Free from our shacles, free from his pain
Death to the man whose dreams are insane
Torn to the dark, hate in our eyes
His body lies broken, his kingdom destroyed
5. P.O.V. 2005
I'm not fucking down with you
All the crap from your bullshit crew
Don't wanna be a part of things you do
Fuck you and your point of view
You're telling me you're the master race
Well I believe you're the world's disgrace
Hollow lies, facist salutes
Fuck you and your point of view
Left, right on you march
You're from a bygone age
Ain't you heard the news
There ain't no master race
How many died in World War Two
Fuck you and your point of view
Left, right on you march
Reliving glory days
Ain't you heard the news
There ain't no master race
Sieg heil, hands held high
Wipe you out without a trace
Persecute cunts like you
I hope that hell awaits
Puta
Fuck you
I'm not fucking down with you
All the crap from your bullshit crew
Don't wanna be a part of things you do
Fuck you and your point of view
Left, right on you march
Reliving glory days
Ain't you heard the news
There ain't no master race
Sieg heil, hands held high
Wipe you out without a trace
Persecute cunts like you
I hope that hell awaits
Fuck you
6. Nomad
I move around the world, seeking peace but finding none
A thousand cries for help but no pity underneath the sun
I have seen a world where nobody gives a damn
Shed your tears of blood children, all join hands to die
Scar upon scar, pain upon pain
Building layers high upon my back
Rage against race, the world becomes my cage
Never finding hope, I'm trapped
Nomad
Searching for a place where I can hide
Nomad
Praying to a god I cannot find
I've seen death after death, nations in fear
Bones of children scattered on the ground
Arrow turns to gun, gun turns to bomb
What has man achieved throughout the years
Nomad
Searching for a place where I can hide
Nomad
Praying to a god I cannot find
How many deaths, when will it end
Religion's now an enemy, it used to be a friend
Burn them for their lies, then we become like them
I turn my back upon the world, another blood millenium
Nomad
Searching for a place where I can hide
Nomad
Praying to a god I cannot find
Nomad
Searching for a place where I can hide
Nomad
Praying to a god I cannot find
Scar upon scar, pain upon pain
Building layers high upon my back
Rage against race, the world becomes my cage
I'm never finding hope, I'm trapped
Death after death, nations in fear
Bones of children scattered on the ground
Arrow turns to gun, gun turns to bomb
What has man achieved throughout the years
Nomad
Searching for a place where I can hide
Nomad
Praying to a god I cannot find
I move around the world, seeking peace but finding none
A thousand cries for help but no pity underneath the sun
Nomad
7. S.A.T.A.N.
Satan
I'll poison your mind, fool
I'll spread my disease
I'm the cancer within you
On your fear I feed
I'm the prince of the darkness
Do you know my name
S.A.T.A.N., fall to your knees
In wars I will guide you, in misery I trade
The bullet with your name on, I'll weep at your grave
I'm the keeper of your nightmares, spit in your face
S.A.T.A.N. evil
Beat the wings of hellions
The gateway to my world
I will be your true friend, I'll be with you for life
Cry when your children die, and then I fuck your wife
S.A.T.A.N. or diablo sounds nice
I can give you all you want, all you do is sign
You know my
I'm your worst nightmare, Diablo is my name
Evil
8. Cold World
Stand witness, world evil, how cheap is life
Indifference to reason, we watch them die
Cut down, starved to death, it's only life
Face down in the street, close your eyes
We don't want to watch millions die
Cold world
Who will speak against these crimes
Most say I'm alright, I've got what's mine
Anyhow, whose got the fucking time
Cold world
Stand witness, world evil, how cheap is life
Indifference to reason, we watch them die
Stand witness, world evil, how cheap a life
Indifference to reason, we watch them die
9. Do or Die
I didn't believe this could happen to me
That I'd fall so far and so deep
My hopes all went bust, lying there in the dust
But I'll always get back on my feet
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
A little muscle, lots of pain
Battle hardened, take the strain
I am still the man
In my world I'm king, if you want to get in
You must always believe in the plan
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
A little muscle, lots of pain
Battle hardened, take the strain
El Hombre is the name, motherfucker
I didn't believe this could happen to me
That I'd fall so far and so deep
My hopes all went bust, lying there in the dust
But I'll always get back on my feet
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
A little muscle, lots of pain
Battle hardened, take the strain
I am still the man
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
A little muscle, lots of pain
Battle hardened, take the strain
I am still the man
I am still the man
I am still the man
10. Dog Dead
Everytime I try to do things right
Another fucker's got me in their sights
But here I go, here I go, I'm ready for another round
Everyday I think, ok, today is gonna be the day
Then boom, I feel the blast but I don't hear the sound
It ain't safe to walk my streets
Never trust the people that I meet
Wanna dig myself a hole, hide underground
What the fuck do you want from me
Always give me so much grief
I already hold the cards form hell
I'm dog dead, shot down
My head's up, mutha fucker
I won't stay down
I'm dog dead, shot down
My head's up, mutha fucker
I won't stay down
I believe you're afraid of me
I don't have your lame beliefs
But I won't change mine, just so we are friends
If it's right I'll take it on
It's all about where your heart belongs
So if you piss me off, then it's one to one
I'm dog dead, shot down
My head's up, mutha fucker
I won't stay down
I'm dog dead, shot down
My head's up, mutha fucker
I won't stay down
I'll always do what I believe in
I'll always try to make life change
You always fuck with people's freedom
Try to shoot me down in flames
Fuck you
Everytime I try to do things right
Another fucker's got me in their sights
But here I come, here I go
Everyday I'm ready for another round
Fuck you
Everytime I try to do things right
Another fucker's got me in their sights
But here I go, here I go, I'm ready for another round
Everyday I think, ok, today is gonna be the day
Then boom, I feel the blast but I don't hear the sound
It ain't safe to walk my streets
Never trust the people that I meet
Wanna dig myself a hole, hide underground
What the fuck do you want from me
Always give me so much grief
I already hold the cards form hell
I'm dog dead, shot down
My head's up, mutha fucker
I won't stay down
I'm dog dead, shot down
My head's up, mutha fucker
I won't stay down
Dog dead
Shot down
I believe you're afraid of me
I don't have your lame beliefs
But I won't change mine, just so we are friends
If it's right I'll take it on
It's all about where your heart belongs
So if you piss me off, it's one to one
Everytime I try to do things right
Another fucker's got me in their sights
But here I go, here I go, I'm ready for another round
I'm dog dead, shot down
My head's up, mutha fucker
I won't stay down
I'm dog dead
11. Symphony of Destruction (Megadeth cover)
You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch people's heads a'roll
A'roll...
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony of destruction
Acting like a robot
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes...
The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
Awarring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall...
12. Wrathchild (live) (Iron Maiden cover)
I was born into a scene of angriness and greed, and dominance and persecution.
My mother was a queen, my dad I've never seen, I was never meant to be.
And now I spend my time looking all around,
For a man that's nowhere to be found.
Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching,
I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around.
*Chorus*:
'Cos I'm a wrathchild, well I'm a wrathchild.
Yeah I'm a wrathchild. I'm coming to get you, oooh yeah.
Say it doesn't matter ain't nothin' gonna alter the course of my destination.
I know I've got to find some serious piece of mind, or I know I'll go crazy.
But now I spend my time looking all around,
For a man thats nowhere to be found.
Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching,
I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around.
*Chorus*
13. Phantom of the Opera (live) (Iron Maiden cover)
I've been looking so long for you now you won't get away from my grasp.
You've been living so long in hiding in hiding behind that false mask.
And you know and I know that you ain't got long now to last.
Your looks and your feelings are just the remains of your past.
You're standing in the wings, there you wait for the curtain to fall.
Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all.
Yeah, I know that you're gonna scratch me, maim me and maul.
You know I'm helpless from your mesmerising cat call.
Keep your distance, walk away, don't take his bait.
Don't you stray, don't fade away.
Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may.
Don't you stray, from the narrow way.
I'm running and hiding in my dreams you're always there.
You're the Phantom of the Opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare.
You damaged my mind and my soul it just floats through the air.
Haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair.
