1. Riding the Storm
Breaking the waves, a ride on the wild raging sea
Playing with fortune, oh, what a lust to be free
Flashlights and thunder, the pattering rain on the hull
From a stormy horizon we get our course
The cry of freedom
Face in the wind , we're riding the storm
We'll stay our course whatever will come
Wandering souls in the sea of the damned
Death or glory, oh, oh we're riding the storm
Cracks in the planks, the rigging upwards and down
Staggering masts, the pounding splash of the prow
The wind in our sails, our flag flies high on the top
From a stormy horizon we get our course
The cry of freedom
Face in the wind , we're riding the storm
We'll stay our course whatever will come
Wandering souls in the sea of the damned
Death or glory, oh, oh we're riding the storm
2. Under Jolly Roger
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 shall 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 shall 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 shall burn
Surrender or fight there's no return
Under Jolly Roger
3. Blazon Stone
Like an hawk-eyed eagle, we're cruising on our raid
Our dogged pride will never fade
Born-free we're still sailing the seven stormy seas
No-one will force us to our knees
Stand tight, we'll fight the fear and pain
United force
Blazon stone, power and hope to the slave
Blazon stone, a mascot to the tortured
Blazon stone
Break the chains of torment
Madness causing pain
Can't be the fate that rules the game
Corruption, hate and treason the evil we must fight
United we will stand the night
Stand tight, we'll fight the fear and pain
United force
Blazon stone, power and hope to the slave
Blazon stone, suppression, we'll send to the grave
Blazon stone, we spit into the face of death
Blazon stone, a mascot to the tortured
Blazon stone
They demonize our pride, blood on blood, we can't submit
We battle side by side, like a pounding ram that hit their head
Their man-o-war shall burn
Mr. Mortis reaps his seed the point of no return
Slanderous lies we will defeat
Stand tight we'll fight the fear and pain
United force
Blazon stone, power and hope to the slave
Blazon stone, suppression we send to it's grave
Blazon stone, we spit in the face of death
Blazon stone, a mascot to the tortured
Blazon stone
4. Sinister Eyes
A blue and blinding light
Is devouring the dark
Someone must be there, it's no fancy
And no lark
Footsteps trail my moves
I turn around and no one's there
Phantom hands that touch my back
A pungent smell is in the air
Black-eyed visitors talk to me at night
Revealing the truth
Sinister eyes
Deciphering the prophecy
Sinister eyes
Warning of catastrophe
Muddled hours are still lost, a weird
Module at my neck
Curious voice that talks to me
Piercing eyes that hit my back
A dream crawls through my sleep
A small and grayskinned seer
He talks about the universe, I fell
I've known him for a hundred years
Black-eyed visitors talk to me at night
Revealing the truth
Sinister eyes
Deciphering the prophecy
Sinister eyes
Warning of catastrophe
You wonder why there's no contact
The man of science twists the truth
Politicians telling lies, these
Criminals have to lose
2000 years of blood and death, no
Money will ever change the fate
Army, church and government, can't
You fell their scornful hate ?
Black-eyed visitors talk to me at night
Revealing the truth
Sinister eyes
Deciphering the prophecy
Sinister eyes
Warning of catastrophe
5. Purgatory
The full moon's shining high in the sky
A screaming black bat passes by
A cold draught strangles your throat
You try to move but you are leashed in chains
You feel your end's coming and the power of darkness
The devil has come to require your soul
You have no right to refuse it
You have to say "Good-Bye" and go
The curtains are moving and a shadow appears
Your blood is still frozen, you're nearly killed by fears
A dark shadow creeps to your deathbed
It's too late to regret your sins
He says to you "Well, surrender
I want your soul for hell"
You have no right to refuse it
You have to say "Good-Bye" and go
Oh sorry you'd never done anything wrong
But nobody cares if you are gone
You were full of prejudices, badness and real sin
You were against sexual liberty, long hair and the idolent youth
I don't want your fucking moral and god
Cause I'm the deuce
Go and burn in Purgatory
Go and burn in Hell
Go and burn all your sins away
Go and burn in Hell
6. Bones to Ashes
Angel of death is walking through the ice-cold air
to take the witches remains, he comes to take his share
Hangman has done his work, destroying their dirty minds
Loyal to the church to torture and to bind
Murder and grinding, searching and finding a victim to kill
Oppression and torment, killing to defend their faith
Bones to ashes, black witches are blown to dust
Bone to ashes, torment's for religious lust
Bones to ashes, black witches are blown to dust
Bone to ashes, torment's for religious lust
Tormenter's raising his torch ino the sky
to burn the convicted witch who is condemend to die
He transmutes her body to dust to free her soul
Fire destroys her flesh, no bell for her which tolls
Murder and grinding, searching and finding a victim to kill
Oppression and torment, killing to defend their faith
Bones to ashes, black witches are blown to dust
Bone to ashes, torment's for religious lust
Bones to ashes, black witches are blown to dust
Bone to ashes, torment's for religious lust
Pest and damnation to those who are delude
Of too much blood and death they are accused
Two much tombs and tiger, a treason to all mankind
Fuck these bastards who are blind
Murder and grinding, searching and finding a victim to kill
Oppression and torment, killing to defend their faith
Bones to ashes, black witches are blown to dust
Bone to ashes, torment's for religious lust
Bones to ashes, black witches are blown to dust
Bone to ashes, torment's for religious lust
7. Branded and Exiled
Red hot iron heated by living coal
Ready for branding to strike his goal
The torrid cast iron marks the leather
To banish the renegade from now on forever
Many relocated all across the land
Together we've got the power in our hands
We're strong enough to fight mendacious laws
We've got the wrath, 'cause we are
Branded and exiled
Together we can stand the night
Rabbits would sink into the morass of unjustice
They try to deliver it from the deep black abyss
Our shell of wrath explodes, they're winding like an ill
That day we're ready to make those bastards kneel
Many relocated all across the land
Together we've got the power in our hands
We're strong enough to fight mendacious laws
We've got the wrath, 'cause we are
Branded and exiled
Together we can stand the night
8. Uaschitschun
No more eagles gonna ride the wind
Turning circles in the sky
Badlands growing and the bison's gone
Uaschitschun tell me why
Why'd you kill my creed
Claiming earth and wind
You never kept your vow
But you can't lock me in
I'm riding free
Riding free with the wind
Free as an eagle
Proud as a king
My mother's the earth and my father's the wind
You can't posses them, they are free
It's time for you to see what you have done
Can't hold my soul cause I will flee
Why do you kill yourself
Ravage what you need to live
You can't eat your gold
Natures calling you
"Only when the last tree has been felt,
the last fish caught,
the last river poisoned,
will you know, that men cannot eat money."
9. Genghis Khan
He was just a gentile man
It was his love to grind
He didn't know the fear
He never had to hide
He loved the glance of metal
And the smell of blood
The flame of badness burned inside him
That was the only thing he had got
Genghis Khan
Can't you see it's all a lie
The time had it made
He was a man like you and me
His era was his fate
He freed his conquered land
From the ban of death
Freedom to the mongolenation
By fanning their wrath
Genghis Khan
10. Soulless
Spineless and false you are creeping through time
Your flag's turning with the wind, your advantage is prime
Feathering your nest is your one and only law
Treachery and fraud is the sense that you are living for
Living on a lie, a mind-killing spell
You'll never ever learn cause you're living in your self-made hell
You 're soulless, when the fire of evil burns in your heart
You're soulless, cause hate and greed's gonna tear you apart
The sledgehammer method is the way in which you act
You double-cross and cheat, you never show respect
Spider-like you crawl, you spin your web of lies
Eternally you'll lose, cause the truth will rule the dice
Living on a lie, a mind-killing spell
You'll never ever learn cause you're living in your self-made hell
You 're soulless, when the fire of evil burns in your heart
You're soulless, cause hate and greed's gonna tear you apart
Conceited and dense, imposture is your call
Self destructed-clown, imbecility is your fall
Reality and truth cut you down to size
Duck your rotten head, be prepared to pay the price
Living on a lie, a mind-killing spell
You'll never ever learn cause you're living in your self-made hell
You 're soulless, when the fire of evil burns in your heart
You're soulless, cause hate and greed's gonna tear you apart
You 're soulless, when the fire of evil burns in your heart
You're soulless, cause hate and greed's gonna tear you apart
You're soulless
You're soulless, heart of stone
You're soulless
You're soulless, bad to the bone
11. Lions of the Seas
Strong and proud the cruise, black banner at the top
The spoondrift hits the bow, they round the reefs and rocks
The voice of freedom whispers in the rushing wind
They roam the raging sea on their gliding wings
They fight the black to save the truth
They fight the scorning lie
Oppressions wall they will destroy
They'll fight it till they die
Lions of the sea
They ride the wind eternally
They fight to be free
Roaming the seven seas of fate
They save their souls from black, from its evil void
Facing the challenge its coldness to destroy
They deny the temporal power, they deny their evil lies
They're strain at the leash until the evil dies
They fight the black to save the truth
They fight the scorning lie
Oppressions wall they will destroy
They'll fight it till they die
Lions of the sea
They ride the wind eternally
They fight to be free
Roaming the seven seas of fate
They brave the sea eternally, they tame the raging waves
Freedom is their destiny, the sea will be their grave
Strong and proud the cruise, black banner at the top
The spoondrift hits the bow, they round the reefs and rocks
The voice of freedom whispers in the rushing wind
They roam the raging sea on their gliding wings
They fight the black to save the truth
They fight the scorning lie
Oppressions wall they will destroy
They'll fight it till they die
Lions of the sea
They ride the wind eternally
They fight to be free
Roaming the seven seas of fate
Lions of the sea
They ride the wind eternally
They fight to be free
Roaming the seven seas of fate
12. Bad to the Bone
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!?
13. Conquistadores
Exploring the seas to conquer new lands
Troops arrayed by the church
Sanctified and blessed they set out
Crusaders, gentiles scourge
They fight, they kill, they rape
Under the banner of the "holy" church
They hunt, they lie, they cheat, they steal
Doing dirty deeds under the churchbell's peal
Conquistadores
Hungry for gold, doing as the religious madman told
Conquistadores
Religions knight, havoc and death caused by pride
Pearls of glass, for ingets of gold
Violence, force and deceit
Taking the wealth or the Indian's life
Their way of feeding their greed
Heathen must turn, to Christianity
It's like "believe or die"
Arrogance and blindness, religion's force
Believers never ask the reason why.
14. Chains and Leather
As the day has gone and the heat has come
Headbanger's war tonight
Screaming metal unleashed for the battle
Makes them feel alright
Sweat and beer, devilish cheer
Glaring flashlights
Chains and leather will live forever
The band begins its fight
We are right praying metal tonight
The message from hell and its spell
Even Satan wears leather, our souls to it forever
So let us pray our rules tonight
Chains and Leather
Chains and Leather
Chains and Leather and rivets
Chains and Leather
Chains and Leather
Chains and Leather forever
All hell breaks loose and you have to choose
If you stay or go
Heaps are banging, chains are glanging
From the first to the last row
Praying their rules, having their booze
Thunder and aggression
Stunning the crowd, devilish loud
Our possession
We are right praying metal tonight
The message from hell and its spell
Even Satan wears leather, our souls to it forever
So let us pray our rules tonight
Chains and Leather
Chains and Leather
Chains and Leather and rivets
Chains and Leather
Chains and Leather
Chains and Leather forever
15. Prisoner of Our Time
Paint in subways
Paint in busses
With your Edding big black pentagrams
Black metal graffitis are thrown against the wall
Crucifixes are inversed
Pictures are signed by the triple six
Black metal art is shocking law 'n' order man
Rockers of the underground
Black and heavy is our sound
Lost the money
Lost the job
Being catched by the cop
I am living not the role that you wanna give to me
Living life
My own way
Not tomorrow, but today
You are against me, but I tell you K. M. A.!!!
Rockers of the underground
Black and heavy is our sound
We are prisoners of our time
But we are still alive
Fight for the freedom, Fight for the right
We are Running Wild
