Death Awaits You
(Graves/Paine)
1ST VERSE:
(vocal:Johnny"Death"Crystal)
I look almost human by the light of the moon... You knew I'd be coming but not this soon... My sickle looks cold and sharp to the touch... A well executed swing wont hurt too much...
1ST CHORUS: Death awaits you... Death awaits you... You cant see me at night but you know I'm there... The full moon is my killing light, the grave my lair...
2ND VERSE: Terrified you search for a safe place to hide... But at each dead end turn I'll be standing by your side... My boney fingers stretch out and clutch at your sleeve... My toothy grin flashes, its time to leave...
2ND CHORUS: Death awaits you... Death awaits you... Death awaits you... Death awaits...
(lead solo:Johnny"Death"Crystal)
3RD CHORUS: Death awaits you... Death awaits you... Death awaits you... Death awaits you and you and you and you (laughs)
2. Sinister Minister
Sinister Minister
(Graves/Paine)
1ST VERSE:
(vocal:Rob Graves)
I walk day and night from grave to grave... Lurking and searching for someone to save... By the light of the moon I dig up the ground... When I know theres no one around...
CHORUS: I shovel and dig through the mounds of fresh sand... In hopes of finding a cold and clammy hand... But all I find is rotting flesh turned to dust... Even that I hold and fondle with lust...
2ND VERSE: Digging and poking around your rotting bones... Who knows what I'll do when its you that I own... I'll dig up your tomb on a cold night in the rain... But dont you worry, when youre dead you feel no pain, sweet pain...
REPEAT CHORUS:
(lead solo:Rob Graves)
3RD VERSE: So when your time comes and your life must cease... Dont expect to rest in peace (laughs)... Because I'm waiting to dig you up too... I suggest cremation the wise thing to do...
REPEAT CHORUS:
3. The Executioner
The Executioner
(Graves)
1ST VERSE
(vocal:J.D.Shadowz)
Come to me your time is near... Youre living your last day... Beg me crawling in your fear... I enjoy it more that way...
CHORUS: Beg me, beg me, beg me, I am The Executioner...
2ND VERSE: Remember now just what you said... You'll never die this way... Your rotting corpse will have no head... When you lie in your grave...
REPEAT CHORUS:
(lead solo:Rob Graves)
3RD VERSE: And so my metal blade does fall... Your blood runs down my thigh... Its when you know youre safe from death... That you will surely die...
REPEAT CHORUS:
(scream:Rob Graves)
4. Night Cruizer
Night Cruizer
(Graves/Paine/Shadowz)
1ST VERSE:
(vocal:Sadie Paine)
When the full moon lights up the night... Thats when my hunger is right... The fog creeps and covers the ground... Your blood chills when you hear the sound...
1ST CHORUS: A 440 six-pack that screams through the night... A wicked black Cuda of muscle and might... I'm stalking the city, I'm ruling the night... I am The Night Cruizer until morning light...
2ND VERSE: I pull to the curb, I've spotted my prey... I smile and lick my lips, you'll do as I say... Look deep into my eyes, you feel my fire... You'll fill my need as you spill your desire...
2ND CHORUS: I have the power to make you my slave... Or eat you and beat you and throw you away... But I think I'll bite, you look good to me... Once I have done so, you'll never be free...
(lead solo:Rob Graves)
3RD VERSE: Time to shift your gears into overdrive... My never ending thirst is unsatisfied... Hammering, pile-driving your stake into me... Feeding the fire and burning the meat...
3RD CHORUS: Dawn is approaching, I cant hang around... Cold, blue and lifeless is how you'll be found... I fade into black, I return to the ground... New victims await me tonight at sundown...
5. Don't Tie Me Down
Don't Tie Me Down
(Graves/Paine/Shadowz)
1ST VERSE:
(vocal:Sadie Paine)
Your time to rise, lust in your eyes...
I hear the cries, pain in your thighs...
Love hard as steel, you burn to feel...
Come to the cave, make you my slave...
1ST BRIDGE:
Tied and helpless, take you tonight...
CHORUS:
Wont tie you down, just tie you up...
Wont tie you down, tie you up, tie you...
Dont tie me down, just tie me up...
Dont tie me down, tie me up, tie me up...
2ND VERSE:
Youre not the first, wont be the last...
My love you thirst, dont drink too fast...
Bang on my door, beg me for more...
Fill you with pain, drive you insane...
2ND BRIDGE:
Tied and helpless, take me tonight...
REPEAT CHORUS:
(lead solo:Rob Graves)
REPEAT 2ND BRIDGE:
REPEAT CHORUS:
6. Halloween
Halloween
(Graves)
1ST VERSE:
(vocal:Rob Graves)
Night has fallen, the wind begins to blow... Children at play in the streets, the ones you know... Clouds fill the sky, the leaves are falling down... A cauldron of black spills a spell onto your town...
1ST CHORUS:
(backing vocal:J.D.Shadowz) Tonight is halloween, your heart turns to stone... Theres death on halloween, spells of death will be sown... You'll die on halloween, on the sacrificial mound... Tonight is halloween, where remains will be found...
2ND VERSE: Descending down like you knew they would... Bringing death to your neighborhood... Children dance unsuspectingly... Their blood will spill on this sacred eve...
REPEAT CHORUS:
3RD VERSE: Slaughtered lambs on the ground, they bleed... Eating flesh is their only need... You want to wake from this dream of hell... This is no dream, you know damn well...
REPEAT CHORUS:
(lead solo:Rob Graves)
REPEAT CHORUS:
Halloween
7. Wake the Dead
Wake The Dead
(Graves)
1ST VERSE:
(vocal:Rob Graves)
We call to you from beyond the grave...
My crusting writhing rotting metal slaves...
Power forged in fire throughout the land...
The weak must die we'll take a metal stand...
CHORUS:
Wake, wake the dead...
2ND VERSE:
Massive molding armies who have been freed...
Waiting as we plant our metal seed...
Spreading like infection throughout the world...
You'll take our injection with a metal sword...
BRIDGE:
Wake, wake, wake...
(lead solo:Rob Graves)
3RD VERSE:
I can see them coming through the fire...
I can see them crawling from their graves...
REPEAT BRIDGE:
REPEAT CHORUS:
4TH VERSE:
Come join us we'll wake the dead...
8. Metal Mission
Metal Mission
(Graves/Shadowz)
INTRO:
(vocal:Rob Graves)
I know what it's like to be alone...
In a world of desperation...
I've heard and I've seen it all before...
From human pretension...
But I know that strongly I'll survive...
As long as I play, metal...
1ST VERSE:
Metal is inside me...
Metal is all around me...
Metal is universal now...
You must all crack your skulls...
2ND VERSE:
Slicing down to the bone...
Seizing the metal throne...
Molten blood is pounding...
Through your metal veins...
1ST CHORUS:
Mezmerizing, pulverizing...
Death defying, never lying...
Metal mission, steel precision...
Show the world the metal law...
Crack you skulls...
(lead solo:Rob Graves)
2ND CHORUS:
Feeling stronger, thrashing longer...
Sparing no one, our deed must be done...
Metal mission, steel precision...
Show the world the metal law...
Crack your skulls...
