1. The Rivalry
Since all time began the holy council guards the light
They saw dawn of man, made by gods to serve their pride
Their slave, he fell from grace, he became the renegade
But evilness took place, 'cause a darkened force lurked in the shade
Silent wings of black, shadowed all the good at heart
The snake on the attack, shot to bite right off the dark
The poison in their vein, freezed their soul, their heart, their mind
So they praised the evil's name, the beast to serve, the world to grind
Time of all eternity, can never change the final destiny
The purified that stood the fight, will be saved to see the world of light
The Rivalry, since eternity, the final fight the blackened world to free
Lost in hate, determined fate, all evil's damned to walk the fiery gate
The time is right at hand, to see the truth behind the lie
Decade of evils end, the poisened heart is doomed to die
The chosen one is here, they're in a deadly fix
He is the one they fear, cause he is up to all their tricks
Time of all eternity, can never change the final destiny
The purified that stood the fight, will be saved to see the world of light
The Rivalry, since eternity, the final fight the blackened world to free
Lost in hate, determined fate, all evil's damned to walk the fiery gate
2. Draw the Line
Glowing fire deep in your heart
Cry of freedom ready to start
Times of darkness' pushing the line
Take a stand now tight here on time
These words on the wind
Revolution's back again
This time, right time
Draw the line
Draw the line
When the time is right!
Classify you and push you around
Kicking's started when you're down
on the ground
No more self-doubt to hold you down
No more pushing when yo're standing your ground
3. Detonator
Getting loaded, the heat is on
A bomb exploded, I'm getting hun
The body's raging, well, I see red
No more caging, 'til the hunger's fed
-Words of thunder, storm breaks loose
Now, going under, no way to move
I'm a flash of lighting, cracking to the ground
The heat is melting, release is found
T.N.T. is the deepest part of me
Dynamite, the stuff to get it right
Detonator
I smash your mirror, saw the truth behind
Gone to zero, I'm not blind
Toxic terror, that's what you are
Insulting error has gone to far
Pre & Chorus...
Getting loaded, the heat is on
A bomb exploded, I'm getting hun
The body's raging, well, I see red
No more caging, 'til the hunger's fed
Pre & Chorus...
4. Firebreather
Three days of darkness, eternal night
Celestial sign swallows up the light
A raging storm, Armaggeddon's here
The enslaved's hope is the evil's fear
He rides the wind on silent wings, Laserbeams ripping steel
Black helicopters go up in flames, before they know that he's real
Firebreather, raging from the stormy sky
Firebreather, smoke and thunder steal the light away
Black soldiers walk the gates of hell
They drop their mask, they come off their shell
Minotaurs and genetic beasts
Invade the world with a bloody feast
He rides the wind on silent wings, Laserbeams ripping steel
Black helicopters go up in flames, before they know that he's real
Firebreather, raging from the stormy sky
Firebreather, smoke and thunder steal the light away
Man in black your time is up
Universal law, you're outta luck
No dirty tricks, no unfair fight
He shoots your head off with his first strike
He rides the wind on silent wings, Laserbeams ripping steel
Black helicopters go up in flames, before they know that he's real
Firebreather, raging for the stormy sky
Firebreather, smoke and thunder steal the light away
5. Kiss of Death
Hey Mr. Man in black, no more disguise
It's just a waste of time, we see through your lies
You think you've ruled the world, through the endless time
But on your wealthless soul, I wouldn't bet a dime
When the elder drops his arm you're dead and lost
He takes away your breath with the kiss of death
No deal can save your soul, we know your evil name
We see your cloven hoof, we know your evil game
When the elder drops his arm you're dead and lost
He takes away your breath with the kiss of death
You've really passed the point, the point of no return
When your evil soul will melt, the good at heart will yearn
When the elder drops his arm you're dead and lost
He takes away your breath with the kiss of death
6. Ballad of William Kidd
He was born at the shore of Greenock in the year 1645
Ran away at the age of fourteen, to flee from his soul-killing life
He signed on to sail the wild-winds
But he worked down his hands and his knees
He stood his test on the waters, so they said he was bred to the sea
In 1697, the "Adventure..." was setting its sails
With the letter of marque and reprisal, Kidd was prepared for his trail
They sailed the sea with the mission, to hunt down "Tew" and "Long Ben"
A serious riot was rising, so Kidd struck down one of his men
And he died!
Blue-blooded men they fell from grace
Piranhas eating their own
They sacrificed at the altar of lies
So fate took its course in the ballad of William Kidd
The "Adventure..." returned to her hometown, Kidd was forced to defence
They charged him with looting and murder, his patrons and generous friends
He'd left his crew at St. Thomas, to guard his honour from shame
But the lords they lied like a trooper, not to lose their own heads in the game
Blue-blooded men they fell from grace
Piranhas eating their own
They sacrificed at the altar of lies
So fate took its course in the ballad of William Kidd
The lords testified their unholy lies, to save their own heads from the gallows
They sacrificed Kidd, they took him for a ride, that conspiratorial fellows
They judged him and they found him guilty of piracy on the high seas
Betraying men of honour, you know lie and cheat as they please
A case of judicial murder caused the death of the seafaring man
Slanderous bunch of liars, to hell your souls will be damned
Blue-blooded men they fell from grace
Piranhas eating their own
They sacrificed at the altar of lies
So fate took its portentous course. What a shame!
In the ballad of William Kidd
7. Victory
The gods of past and future, returning from the sky
Defenders of the holy, they are soaring on high
All slaves of evils' kingdom, dropping down like flies
The final raging battle that's when the evil dies
The poison of illusion, the world falls asleep
The evil reigns its kingdom by cunning and deceit
The force of seduction, chaos in the game
Man is trapped in blindness, praising Dorkas' name
Darkness falls and light will rise
The force of judgement finally strikes
Victory
Selfdestructive mankind's like wax in his hands
War and plain destruction are fit to set an end
A vulnerable system to serve the evil's way
Raising all its madness until the final day
Darkness falls and light will rise
The force of judgement finally strikes
Victory
Terror reigns in the prophecy
"Babylon" will fall, so plain to foresee
A nightmare rules the mirage of gold
Slipping to damnation by trying to hold
The rivalry is dying, the longawaited end
Destruction of all evil, no power could defend
Dorkas' crown is falling, he's melting down in pain
His kingdom falls to pieces, dying in the flame
Darkness falls and light will rise
The force of judgement finally strikes
Victory
8. Tsar
At the day of his coronation
He sank down in deepest dispair
Hundreds of russians were dying
By rapture, the sun and its glare
After several years of waiting
He came, the heir to the throne
Their son was born as a bleeder
His parents so sad and alone
The tsarina felt what was coming
A vision that darkened her soul
The tsar was given a warning
Intrigues so darkened and cold
Destiny called, the empire fell
The two-headed eagle that died
Bullets of hate were erasing their lifes
No prayer and nobody cried
[Leadbreak Rolf]
In their darkest hour the "staretz" appeared
He saved Aleksej from death
Rasputins' power, a dissolate life
Sentenced to take his last breath
The world was on war, drowning in flames
Gasbombs, horror and death
[Leadbreak Thilo]
The reds brought on revolution
He decided to take his discharge
But they placed him under detention
The red star, its idols should march
The Romanows took up their cross
The desaster was to foresee
On the 16th July 1918
They were slaughtered, a whole dynasty
[Pre]
[Chorus]
9. Welcome to Hell
I, I bid you welcome
On earth, this maltreated place
Home, home of destruction
Facing insanities' trace
Money, money's the idol
The altar, holy icon of man
Facing the truth of a place you never should be
Here comes the warning, the warning you get for free
Welcome, welcome, welcome to hell
Demons' terror is waving its spell
Welcome, welcome, welcome to hell
Visions, nightmares are fit to tell, welcome to hell
Souls feeding the gear
Victims of obedient trust
Slaves working their ass off
Reward, to bite the dust
Pre...
Say, say farewell
Flee, rushing headlong fast
Pre & Chorus...
10. The Brotherhood
Cold and rapacious we rule it all
The demon crushing your chest
We watch your despair, your struggle of life
We bet on who's coming best
Increasing our fortune, choking your breath
Living on our Cockaigne
We steal from the poor to feed on the rich
With caviar, diamonds, champagne
We are sucking your life and your blood
War, the bloody lucrative tool
To work on your doubts and fear
Gold, we sold our souls onto
The greedy and cold profiteer
Ruling the world with a stick and a carrot
Slavery's our believe
Juggle with intrigues, justice is blind
Never giving reprieve
Brothers in arms, your arm feels the needle
The poison injecting the fear
We render homage to the evil inside us
The demon, the cold profiteer
Pre...
Chorus...
We take what we get to get what it takes
To work on your doubts and fear
"Gimme the headline, I'll give you the war"
The greedy and cold profiteer
11. Pirate Song
Rising the flag on the masthead
The sails and the ropes' holding tight
The gunners are eager to fire
Well prepared for the fight
Fight, flee or surrender
Defeat you can't deny
Better give up in the first place
Or drown in the blink of an eye
Gold, jewels and diamonds
The price we'll have to claim
Noble rogues are standing
We'll never quit in the game
We gonna ride the sea, we pray to the wind and the glory
That's why we are raging wild and free
Come sing along with the pirate song
Hail to the wind, hooray to the glory
We're gonna fight 'til the battle's won
On the raging sea
No way to move your deadlocked
Nailed down by feu-eclair
Lead is carrying fire
Victory's noble and fair
Pre & Chorus...
12. Rogues en Vogue
Once there was a promised land
Spoiled by fatal hands
It turned into a pyre
Burning high and bright
World wars, crisis, famine, cashing in all along
Slaves to bloody profit, determined to do wrong
Ignorance and arrogance
Hardly find a chance
To see "the golden age"
The "chamber" is their place
Rogues en vogue, touching fire
Shot their load with the tongue of the liar
Rogues en vogue
The holy forces on the game
Soulless rogues deadly tamed
The "Eldest" well prepared
Returning to the stars
Into the fire's hungry flames, you're falling
To burn away your sins
R.e.v. (R.e.v.)
Into the fire's deadly flames, you're falling
Right into the void
13. Bad to the Bone (live)
Fifty years ago with the world at war
Hands bloodied - devastated
Better believe they're back for more
Pounding the world with a fist of steel
Jack booted, heavy handed
Careless of the pain we feel
Bastards - throwing life away
Killers - alive today
Oh oh oh oh
Don't tell no lies
I see through your eyes
You're bad to the bone
Oh oh oh oh
Don't tell no lies
You can't hear the cries
'Cos you're bad to the bone
Times have changed but he don't know
Zoot suit, black tie
Careless that the lies are low
One for all and all for one
Talking smooth - hidden truth
Time bomb ticking just begun
Standing alone for the world to see
Non-starter - push harder
He still believes his time will come
Small wonder - old thunder
Can't he see that he's wrong!?
14. Welcome to Hell (live)
I, I did you welcome
On earth, this maltreated place
Home, home of destruction
Facing insanities' trace
Money, money's the idol
The altar, holy icon of man
Facing the truth of a place you never should be
Here comes the warning, the warning you get for free
Welcome, welcome, welcome to hell
Demons' terror is waving its spell
Welcome, welcome, welcome to hell
Visions, nightmares are fit to tell, welcome to hell
Souls feeding the gear
Victims of obedient trust
Slaves working their ass off
Reward, to bite the dust
Pre...
Say, say farewell
Flee, rushing headlong fast
Pre & Chorus...
15. Under Jolly Roger (live)
Weigh anchor, hoist the sails
Cruisin' for booty on watery trails
No exploiter we see can still sail on
Our cannons fire till his ship goes down
Fly our flag, we teach them fear
Capture them, the end is near
Firing guns they shell burn
Surrender or fight there's no return
Under Jolly Roger
Venerable scoundrels, no blood on our hands
Our engagement are tough, but only for defence
Carefully we sail around the reefs
To force those die-hards to their knees
Fly our flag, we teach them fear
Capture them, the end is near
Firing guns they shell burn
Surrender or fight there's no return
Under Jolly Roger
Coming through the waves to free all the captives
Boarding the vessels we know all the tactics
We're the menace, the curse of the sea
We pulverize the men'o'war pay or flee
Fly our flag, we teach them fear
Capture them, the end is near
Firing guns they shell burn
Surrender or fight there's no return
Under Jolly Roger
