1. Teaser
She's got a lot on her mind, she's not wastin' time, she knows what she's gotta have
Well, I can feel the fire in her desire, she knows I'm her kind of man
So look out, baby, 'cause here we go, there ain't no turnin' back
I got a one-way ticket to paradise, oh, you know it ain't that bad
Teaser! I just can't please her
Teaser! Watch her tease and get on your knees
Teaser! I just can't please her
Teaser!
I'm talkin' my way down to the 'prize', she's diggin' it all the way
I'm gettin' real close, 'Baby, you're the most' is what she had to say
'Well maybe next time you'll get some more than what you got tonight'
I said, 'Come on, darlin', you mean that's it? Baby, no, that just ain't right!'
I'm makin' my move, lookin' for the groove, and I'm waitin' for the call
On the side, she glanced at my pride and said, 'Baby that's just too small'
I said, 'Look here, bitch, I'm here to rock, don't wanna take no shit'
She said,'If that's the way you want it, then that's all you're gonna get'
2. Ritual
Far beyond the edge of sight, in a deep and distant land
Lies the dark and misty road that takes the shadow of a man
He stumbles on a band of savage sinners, pagan fools!
Worshipping the carcasses and carrion left by you
Have you seen their eyes?
Have you heard their cry?
Have you seen the pain
That brings them down again?
With pig's blood and with poison, they prepare the evil Rite
With dignity, they march their sacrifice into the night
A maid, no more than twelve years old, will soon be with the Man
Free the virgin chained to stone, and you will win her hand
Born within the young, and then it spread throughout the old
A demon wrecked their bodies, stole their minds, possessed their souls
Writhing, bleeding madman, spitting screaming, bloody fright!
One by one they fell and disappeared into the night
3. Headfirst
The night has come, we're heading for the door
The rush is big, gets down to the core
Headfirst tonight is all that's on my mind
I need it now, don't waste no time
One thing's for sure / There ain't no cure
One thing I know / I can't wait for the start of the show
Goin'
Headfirst into lovin'
That's when push comes to shovin'
Headfirst into lovin'
Headfirst into...
You got the fire to make the night go on
I've got desire to have some fun
You're lookin' hot (yeah!) We need some time alone
I call the shots, sucked dry to the bone
C'mon, baby, give me your love
And I'll take you higher
Don't mess with me, I need you to please
My desire
Oh, got me goin'
4. 1812: The Battle
Oh, tell all the boys / The battle calls us tonight
Oh, with fear in their eyes / Their leaders have poisoned their sight
With guns in their hands, and swords at their sides
They kill with such utter delight
Night has fallen, and blood has spilled
The battle, it calls us tonight
Oh, children are dying
Your dreams and their dreams are gone
Oh, with fear in their eyes
The leaders have poisoned the pawns
5. Cold Hearted Girl
You say you'll love me forever / You got my heart in your hands every day
You say "you've got to get it together / And make me part of your plans, take me away"
You say that you'll love me forever / But then you call it a day
You take my heart away
You're a woman of the world / You're a cold hearted girl
Dime-a-dozen, imitation, mother-of-pearl / Cold hearted girl
You say you've got no other / You tell me I'm your man every day
But you're a two-timin' lover / And now I gotta make plans, I gotta get away
6. I've Seen the Wizard
have seen the Wizard, and he's told me of his plan
He wanders through the darkness, gathering the damned
He strips you of your soul and then he throws you in the fire
When he finds you, he will force you to make love with all the liars
I have seen the Wizard, I have seen the Man
I have seen his magic, catch them, if you can
I have seen the magic of his mountain in the sky
Lords and demons disappear there, right before your eyes
Lies are true, and truth? It lies! You wonder, what is true?
Confusion shreds your soul, now look what has become of you
I've seen the Man, he sits there, high above the clouds
He's crying for the loss of all his children in the crowd
He's praying for your soul, he'll love you 'till the end of time
Praising you, your glories - forgiving you, your crimes
Yes, He's an old Man / His hands are filled with time
Time and time / Time and time, we'll see the end
I have seen the fires of hell, I have seen the dead
I have seen the Wizard deny everything he's said
I have seen the gates of Zion, I have seen the Man
I have seen His people die, they never understand
7. I Will Survive
Evil-eyed woman, you're doing it again / The way you look and the way you feel could capture any man
Make your magic potion, baby, fill it to the brim / Like a fool for your emptiness, I'll fall for you again
It's not the first time that I've felt this way for you / So many times, I've been hurt before, I can't help feeling used
But I will survive / I'll come out alive
I've learned a lot since the last time, baby / Can't take no more lies
You can push, but you can't take my life
I'll get out like the other times / I will survive
Evil-eyed woman, I know what's on your mind / It's easy to see what you want from me, you'll probably get it if you try
There's a fire burnin' deep within your eyes / You're just usin' me to entertain, and to keep you satisfied
Will it ever matter that you're killin' me inside? / Will you ever realise that my heart is gonna die?
All I wanted / was to love you / All I needed / was to hold you
Evil-eyed woman, If you want me for a while, you've gotta change all your evil ways, you've gotta tell me with a smile
But I think I know you better than to expect a change in you
Maybe you'll fake it for a little while, but you'll end up being cruel
I know you'll leave me, it's just a matter of time / I was a fool to ever think you'd stay and to think that you were mine
8. Take Me to the Kingdom
You were a good man / You knew the way
Born of the one Man / King for the day
I know where you will go when we have seen the end
And I will follow you, my friend
Take me! To the Kingdom
Take me! Take me away
To the Kingdom
Goin' to Paradise / Today is the day
Say the Last Rites / Take me away!
9. Ni4Ni
10. Eleanor Rigby (The Beatles cover)
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in a church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits by the window, wearing a face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people / Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people / Where do they all belong?
Father Mckenzie, writing the words to a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night while there's nobody there
What does he care?
Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried, along with her name
Nobody came
Father Mckenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
11. The Last Rites
Shot down in cold blood / Cold blood in the rain
Bullets of anger, bullets of pain
Killed without reason / Waste without cause
Now is the season, the season of loss
Welcome the darkness / Welcome the night
Pray for your soul / Pray the Last Rites
Murdered for ransom of vengance and hate
Dreams to fulfill, but now it's too late
Sirens and madness / Confusion and fear
The past is forgotten, the future is clear...
There's a place, not far from here, where the dead sing out in fear
Take my hand, I'll lead the way / Hell has time for those who stray
Now it's time for you to know / 'Cause you've got nothing, not a reason left to show
Choose your path o'er yonder hill, you know the one
Live in darkness all your life / Never see the Son
Pray for your Last Rites
12. As It Was Told...
When the walls of the castle come down and the King is nowhere in sight
Take command of the soldiers and be their new leader for the rest of the night
The fortune is there, it's hidden in the dungeon, take what you find
Of the riches, and the knowledge, and the freedom, and leave the rest there, behind
As the battle for your kingdom rages on and on, watch your men as they die
And the slaughter of your people subsides, for there's no one left alive
When the smoke blows away and there's nothing left to say, the dead will arise
And assassinate their leader, who turned and ran away, for leaving them to die
In the palace, on the street, hidden in everyone you meet
Is a hatred or a love, fighting for the domination of the other's defeat
If the hatred wins, the people kill each other in despair
And the essence of the blood of the battle seeps out and fills the air
If the love wins, the hatred conquered, fleeing in exile
And the children run free, for everyone to see, they're pleased for a while
Everybody's sayin' that the way to get to heaven is to be a good boy, now
But the way to get to heaven is a path that's been faded since the day you were born
13. Son of Souls (Sabre Demo - New Mix)
It's been ten long star-risings since cain left me
Naked and trembling in the fields
Destined to walk the barren plains
Fighting for my life without a shield
It is I, son of souls, who stakes my claim with wrath
And he who oppose shall meet his sacred maker
And we who are strong shall reign as kings forever
I'm ten foot, leather-suited killing mammoth
I'm ancient demon, spreading madness
I'm swirling waters, dark and deep
I'm the thoughts and fears that fill your sleep
Long and bright, the sword of incarnation
Fills the night with bloodthirst and light
Reigning as kings for everlasting life
14. The Blade (Sabre Demo - New Mix)
Pushing land behind us as we march to break the dome
A million years will bring us miles closer to their homes
Remnants of forgotten lands remind us of our goal
The lives of all the people are now tales we'll never know
What's left of them are mutants, warped and twisted form the mold
Hiding underground, protected from the firey cold
Swallowed by the landscape, lost a hundred times
Could it be that God is seeking payment for our crimes
Raping anger drives us, vengance unfulfilled to this day
A day or two will have us there to execute our plan
Then they all will learn the blade is quicker than the hand
I can see on the horizon as we march across the land
A gleaming dome of iron, miles larger than we'd planned
Burning down the city to a ton of molten lead
We'll blast away the living, and we'll persecute the dead.
Taking the road that will lead to destructing
The wall of the city, so death can be spread into
Madness, evil, wrong
Screaming for the dawn
All of the people who now live in peace with themselves
They forever will never forgive us for
What we have done
All their hopes are gone
Seizing the women and children and men
To be senselessly slaughtered again and again
Dead without a sound
No reason can be found
One day the gods will descend from the heavens
To stop all this killing and bring back the peace
That once was there
Spreading through the air
15. I've Seen the Wizard (Instrumental Version; Sabre Demo - New Mix)
I have seen the Wizard, and he's told me of his plan
He wanders through the darkness, gathering the damned
He strips you of your soul and then he throws you in the fire
When he finds you, he will force you to make love with all the liars
I have seen the Wizard, I have seen the Man
I have seen his magic, catch them, if you can
I have seen the magic of his mountain in the sky
Lords and demons disappear there, right before your eyes
Lies are true, and truth? It lies! You wonder, what is true?
Confusion shreds your soul, now look what has become of you
I've seen the Man, he sits there, high above the clouds
He's crying for the loss of all his children in the crowd
He's praying for your soul, he'll love you 'till the end of time
Praising you, your glories - forgiving you, your crimes
Yes, He's an old Man / His hands are filled with time
Time and time / Time and time, we'll see the end
I have seen the fires of hell, I have seen the dead
I have seen the Wizard deny everything he's said
I have seen the gates of Zion, I have seen the Man
I have seen His people die, they never understand
