1. Scared to Death
Oh no! Somebody said they're marching out tonight
Fists high, their eyes straight on, the goal far out of sight
Screaming leaders, tell you what to say
They're all tools of the rulers behind 'em
They're scared to death!
They talk 'bout power and 'bout glory to gain
To be an hero 'n' get an order's the main thing
March into battle, you'll see what is real
Hell's coming nearer and death's on your heels
They're scared - scared to death
The agony is brutal - scared to death
Ha, ha, ha they stand face to face with a gun
What will be harder, the bullet - the man?
Satan's calling - you must pay the price
You had the choice you believed in their lies
"Aaaaaah - where are those creeps who ordered war?"
They sit at home and earn still more war is business, so die?
"No..."
Oh no! Somebody said they're marching out tonight
Fists high, their eyes straight on, the goal far out of sight
March into battle, you'll see what is real
Hell's coming nearer and death's on your heels
2. Deceiver
No! You interfere with my free will
I won't give my mind for you to fill
All those words are lies, don't need no
Deceiver
Hate is what you sow between all men
Kill - you made them acquiesce to death
You earn well when other men die
Deceiver
Fool, stay blind, get in line
Count me out, I've no doubts
A man in herd, with a lack of conscience
This won't be my way, can't see where's the sense
Darkness spreading thicker day by day
They're afraid of having lost their way
This is nutritive power for a
Deceiver
3. Reign of Fear
Shadows are creeping - the air's so still
While you're sleeping - they're on the loose
Eyes wide open - you lie awake
You wish it was morning - but you can't choose
The air is full of sound
Their time has come to move
Night scenes, they scream
Night scenes...
The walls are cracking - you cannot move
Something rotten - lies next to you
Will this nightmare never end?
This is torture - man can't prevent
You are exposed for hours
To supernatural powers
Your body won't be injured
But in your mind you'll get scared
Has our fate been written in our sleep
Can we see the way we got to keep
Shadows are creeping - the air's so still
While you're sleeping - they're on the loose
The night is full of wonders
If you just like it gruesome
You hear but you can't see
A thrilling scenery
4. Hand of Glory
Disturbing the peace of the night for a raid
Stealing goods taken through gre
A playtoty transcendental powers had made
This is the thing that you need
Hand of glory
Stopping all the sleepers from awakening this night
Hand of glory
Witchcraft triumphs in joy while the fingers are set alight
All who live in this house fell asleep
The hand was making them drowse
Now there's time to take all you need
Ho hindrance to plund'rin' this house
First you need a hanged man's corpse
Cut off the left hand and preserve it
But dress it not with tannin pure
Witches know the right mixture
The hand makes succesfull robbery - well
But just take care of the thumb
If it don't burn someone's not in the spell
And he'll discover your plan
5. Raw Energy
Hellchild, you got
No fun, you're wild
That's you: dependent,
Obey, you do
No way to go
So come on
Oh yeah, you need a
Brainstorm today
Shout out your pain
be strong, be loud
No way to go
Bang - it's raw energy
Bang - it's raw energy
Don't fear your dreams
Work'em out, they'll come clear
Never surrender
Next time do better
Feel the comin' of the chord
Oh, it says a lot more than a thousand words
6. Echoes of Evil
I tell you Jesus Christ was just an ordinary man
But he was wise, much wiser than the rest
The few to see wrote tales 'bout him but time perverted it all
The banner's changed, the world ain't changed at all
Forced to fight for law and order
In the name of God to slaughter
Living in this world could be a life in hell
They're around everywhere, can't you tell?
Echoes of evil
You know, they don't know what it is when they talk 'bout the law
The rights are wrong when only riches rule
You hear them say we're civilized but still blacks are slaves
When money talks they won't hear all the cries
Forced to fight with law and order
In the name of God to slaughter
Dying at the front is tradition, you know
Just like fathers and grandfathers did
Echoes of evil
We're men - we're bound to fail but we can learn it
The ones who never face it will stay blind
We gained too much by science but we can't use it
Prepare your mind to stop before it's to late
The preacher's done the rites of Christ for a thousand years or more
Believes in personified gods
Does he fear waking up to see it's not so easy
Opposing good 'n' bad as he did?
Forced to fight with law and order
In the name of God to slaughter
What is religion - shit in your brain
A blade of straw in oceans of life
Don't follow leaders, no matter what side
Though it's harder to live your ideals
There are echoes of evil
7. Chaste Flesh
Sweet childlike lady
You stir me up
The time is coming
To warm up your ass
I've got the number
And when it's night
I'll come to screw ya
I'll tear you right
Now we're together
Delightful feast
You are a virgin
I am a beast
Chaste flesh - I'm gonna change it
Chaste flesh - I can arrange it
Chaste flesh - lay down or die
Chaste flesh now obey
She's coming nearer
Oh, if she knew
She's so wanton
Genuine and new
My body's hungry
Sweating in heat
I'm gonna give her
My rod of meat
Biting, scratching - baby you unchain my lust
Howling, growling - when will you unchain my lust
8. Suicide
I've been stumblin' through my years
All I had was sweat and tears
When I thought I had it made
I was always much too late
And throughout my whole life I've done everything wrong
No way out - suicide
No way out - suicide
I am loosing all I get
For myself there's just regret
And my brain, it feels so ill
Am I waiting for the kill?
What the hell's there on earth that cold keep me alive?
There's a shadow on my back taking the wrong track
Now I've gone a bit too far
I've begun a private war
All I hate is myself but I've shot someone else
9. Machinery
Life means being perfect day by day
Restless
I need somebody's help to get away
Don't trust no one,
They don't want you, they want your pay
Win or loose
Machinery - destroying what I want to be
Machinery - there's nothing that you get for free
Reporters work for those who pay them well
Ruthless
The top priority is just to sell
Obey or die
If you don't play the game, you'll die
Win or loose
Machinery - doesn't care about you and me
Machinery - got no choice at all
The public wants to be fed with big lies
Illusions, images and big dreams
Turns fools into kings, let genies die meanwhile
The glory's half as bright as it seems to be
Why don't you really love the things you do?
Liar
No matter what it is, it won't be true
Bitch of success
You sold your honour for the gold
Win or loose
Machinery - destroying what I want to be
Machinery - got no choice at a
Machinery - there's nothing that you get for free
Machinery - hear the salesman's call
