1. 24 Hours Ago
Behind the wheel just went along
I'm tired of hearing the same old song
Look, I rule the night, no end in sight
I think I'm going insane!, oh yeah
Engines grind, I hit the red line
I'm movin' fast, forget the past
I'm burning tread in my head
I am gone, twenty four hours ago, yeah
Got to escape, can't take any more
I grabbed my suitcase and kicked down the door, yeah
I've got blood shot eyes, hypnotized
I feel no pain!, oh yeah
Engines grind, I hit the red line
I'm movin' fast, forget the past
I'm burning tread in my head
I am gone, twenty four hours ago, yeah
Engines grind, I hit the red line
I'm movin' fast, forget the past
I'm burning tread in my head
I am gone, yeah
Twenty four hours ago, yeah
2. Beyond the Doors of the Dark
Listen to me children of the night
Beyond the doors of darkness you will find
A thousand worlds for you to see here
Take my hand and follow me, oh...
Beyond the doors of the dark
Demon in your heart
Scream and thrash your head
Turn around, now you're dead
Under the darkened haze
Lost here in glaze
Are you looking to be free?
A never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside
Another day's begun
Under the moon and sun
Circle has been drawn
Life has been prolonged
Hell is eternity
Hell is your destiny
I'll tell you to die
A never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside
Oh, beyond the doors of the dark, yeah
Beyond the doors of the dark, oh yeah
It's time to meet your fate
Heaven can wait
All the walls are closing in
Things crawl on your skin
He's grabbing down at you
There's nothing you can do
No place to run and hide
A never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside
He wants to take your soul
You know you're dreaming
Call your precious little life
Under... my knife
Hell is eternity
Hell is your destiny
I'll tell you to die
Never ending suicide
Of nightmares you have inside
Oh, beyond the doors of the dark, yeah
Beyond the doors of the dark
Beyond the doors of the dark
Beyond the doors of the dark, oh no, no
3. Legions
A call from the night - metal storming masses
In the lies battle cry screaming to the night
Oh no, summon up the legions to do our deeds
Our legion's needs are growing every day
We're coming out tonight
We come from the darker light
Join your hands and pray
Maybe you can all be saved?
Legions of the night
Legions of the night
Good God!
Legions of the night
Can they hear your battle cry?
Cry out, but what does it matter?
There's no way to escape the hold we have on you
Oh ho, controlled by the master
Infiltrate, penetrate your little precious minds
We're coming out tonight
We come from the darker light
Join your hands and pray
Maybe you can all be saved?
Legions of the night
Legions of the night
Good God!
Legions of the night
Can they hear your battle cry?
Scream loud - let the masses hear you
Banging hard across the ground shatter the darkest lights
Oh no, heed the master's calling
Congregate, celebrate the power you've obtained
Good God!
Legions of the night
Legions of the night
Good God!
Legions of the night
Can I hear your battle cry?, yeah
4. Strange Wings
She is a native of the stormy skies, yeah
I, I caught a glimpse from the depths of my eyes
Atop a black winged mare casting a wicked stare
She throws her head back and rides into the night
She flies strange wings
Behind a thin disguise
She flies strange wings
Still tears she cries
Oh I, I followed her to the brink of dawn, yeah
She, she took control of my very soul, yeah
She's still a mystery, in her arms I long to be
I don't know why, I turn and reach to the sky
She flies strange wings
Behind a thin disguise
She flies strange wings
Still tears she cries
She flies strange wings
Behind a thin disguise
She flies strange wings
Still tears she cries!
Strange wings!
Behind a thin disguise
Strange wings!
5. Prelude to Madness
No lyrics/instrumental.
6. Hall of the Mountain King
Far away in a land caught between time and space
Where the books of life lay
We fear this castle of stone
The mountain king roams all alone in here
But he's not the only one
Lost inside, forever hidden from the sun
Madness reigns
In the Hall of the Mountain King, oh yeah
His deep dark eyes keep watch on his kingdom
And the mysteries that sleeps safe inside
His hall, his towers of stone
Shall not be overthrown for eternity
It is guarded by the king
Insanity and the power that it brings
Madness reigns
In the Hall of the Mountain King, oh yeah
In the Hall of the Mountain King, oh yeah...
Come with me, stay close by my side
As the darkness of night closes in
Don't fear in the thunder it roars
When the Mountain King calls all his children home
To where I hid him we must run
Refuge here, but I was forever on the run
Madness reigns, my friends...
In the Hall of the Mountain King, oh yeah
In the Hall of the Mountain King, oh yeah...
7. The Price You Pay
I know you're all alone tonight
And I hear your cries
From the world that lies
Beyond these lives
You've got dreams inside
They cut, I know
Cut so deep, but you never show
That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay
Is your soul on the line, my dear
As you take your bows
To a silent crowd
That never hears
Close your eyes for now
And leave your rage
Take my hand and walk the stage
That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay
There's no need to worry
'Cause you have tomorrows
Another phase of life has begun
Am I getting through to you?
Can your mind reach beyond tonight?
I believe your love for life
Will never die
So, my child, you ask
What does this mean?
Cut the chains and chase the dream
That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay
That's the price you pay, oh yeah
That's the price you pay
When you come here to play...
8. White Witch
Heart beat is rapid, your blood pumping faster
Hands reach for the blade
Touch her, feel her, your body it craves her
She leads you to your grave
She's an image all dressed all in white
No, you know you want her now
Casting a spell, her power on you
You'd leave, but you don't know how
White witch, white witch
Poisoning you
White witch, white witch
Coming for you
White witch, white witch
Taking your souls
White witch, white witch
Taking control
Wrapped and enraging, I use to maintain it
Do you want some more?
Give her your money, sell her your soul
The deadliest of whores
Wicked white demon is staring at you
Controlling all that you say and you do
Sweating intensely, the music's much loader
On the glass is a poison powder
White witch, white witch
Poisoning you
White witch, white witch
Coming for you
White witch, white witch
Taking your souls
White witch, white witch
Taking control
White witch, white witch
Poisoning you
White witch, white witch
Coming to you
White witch, white witch
Taking your souls
White witch, white witch
Taking control
She is now your only master
Your whole life's a complete disaster
Don't you dare let her in
As your final chore!
White witch, white witch
Poisoning you
White witch, white witch
Coming for you
White witch, white witch
Taking your souls
White witch, white witch
Taking control
Taking my soul
Taking control...
9. Last Dawn
Instrumental/no lyrics.
10. Devastation
Waiting for disaster, blackness in the night
I roam the world to hear the cry
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
2000 brings the untimely end
Of all living things, yeah
The Four Horsemen have started their ride
Can you see them in the sky?
Glaring down at the ground
Smile on their face as they commence
The end of the human race
Total devastation
Prepare yourself for death!
This world's insane
Start your fields afire, watching them burn
Tomorrow will be another world's turn
To win is the end, to be a part of judgment day
We should have listened to what Christ had to say
Total devastation
Prepare yourself for death!
This world's insane
What do you say?
We all have our chances of living in peace
Now, I'm afraid, you're in too deep
What can you do when you're a fool?
It all goes this way
You should have listened to what Christ had to say
Total devastation
Prepare yourself to die!
This world's insane
No, no, no, no
This world's insane
Oh yeah!
No! No! !No! No!
Stop it
