1. The Dungeons Are Calling
Down in the dungeons
Of concrete and terror
Candles light the way
Can you hear me say?
The dungeons are calling
The dungeons are calling... for me
I can't escape, this den must be Hell
Pleasures of freedom denied me in this cell
I steal from my friends, victims of my pain
It's nearing the end, I live like the dead!
The dungeons are calling
Calling for me, oh!
The dungeons are calling
The rack waits for me
Down in the dungeons I'm locked away
Suicide ride I take everday
Prisoner in Hell, victim in pain
The dungeons are calling for me!
None of my friends want to come out and play
They think I'm crazy, but what can I say?
Prisoner in Hell, victim in pain
It's nearing the end, I live like the dead
The dungeons are calling
Calling for me, oh!
The dungeons are calling
The rack waits for me
2. City Beneath the Surface
Hi, welcome to Hell
You are all here
For this is where you must dwell
Sinners and cheats
Sit here with Satan
And have all your spirits meet
Oh, city beneath the surface above
How you survive on evil and blood?
You breathers in this space
You never can leave this place
Die, we all must die
How will you face it
When you bend to your knees and cry?
Burn, like witches burn
When will you sinners believe
That it's your time to learn?
Oh, city beneath the surface above
How you survive on evil and blood?
You breathers in this space
You never can leave this place
Oh, city beneath the surface above
How you survive on evil and blood?
You breathers in this space
You never can leave this place
Punished for the way that you lived
Raping and stealing, but never one thought to give
Here forever, not a trail or a trace
Total illusions of tales of the unholy place
3. Sirens
On the sea they heard the voices sing
Through the storm the island's closing in
They'd heard tales of lives lost at sea
Deserted beach just beyong their reach
You're approaching the island of the...
Sirens
Sirens
Hungry for man tonight
Sirens
Sirens
Claiming the sailors' lives
Nine men made it to a shore
A night of terror lies neatly in store
Who are those women? Are they real?
Is this just a crazy dream?
You're approaching the island of the...
Sirens
Sirens
Hungry for flesh tonight
Sirens
Sirens
Claiming the sailors' lives
Terror happens quickly
Remains till the sailor are gone
They vanished in the night
Sirens singing their song
Whoa... till they're gone...
4. Of Rage and War
You got Lybia, you got the Russians
You got civilian planes crashing to the oceans
Airports full of terrorists
Nazis, skins, anarchists
When are they gonna learn?
Better listen to me you son of a bitch
Better disarm those missiles sleeping in the ditch
You have no goddamn right to do the things you do
The world would be a better place if we were rid of you
Of rage and war
Every country's got the bomb
The scientists are working on
Chemical weapons to melt the flesh
With no source of defense
Shoot me I'll shoot you
Like there's nothing better to do
Who's the loser in the end?
Better listen to me you son of a bitch
Better disarm those missiles sleeping in the ditch
You have no goddamn right to do the things you do
The world would be a better place if we were rid of you
Of rage and war
War broods in foreign lands
Missiles launch upon command
Islam, Lebanon, what the hell is going on?
Ambassadors, who say they try
Negotiating suicide?
Are they prepared to face the end
Of rage and war?
5. She's in Love
She likes what she sees
Starts to drop to her knees
Gazing with an appetite
Licks her lips in sheer delight
She's one of a kind
A sight for sore eyes
It's all the needs to be happy
I bet she never knew
It would taste so good
No, she's in love
I knew she's in love
Oh no, she's in love
Oh yeah, she's in love
She just loves to please
Kiss of life her specialty
Oh, how well she knows
Just how to make it grow
She's one of a kind
A sight for sore eyes
It's all she needs to be happy
I bet she never knew
It would taste so good
No, she's in love
I knew she's in love
Oh no, she's in love
Oh yeah, she's in love
6. Hounds
Sun sets on the moon
The cry of the hounds live forevermore
Stalking the night
They roam the countryside till morning's light
Do you hear the hounds they call?
Scan the dark eyes aglow
Through the bitter rain and cold
They hunt you down
Hunt you down
They run wild and free
Across the fields and valleys of their native land
Nature's beasts derranged
Beyond belief no one understands
Do you hear the hounds they call?
Scan the dark eyes aglow
Through the bitter rain and cold
They hunt you down
Hunt you down
Can you hear them in the night?
They got you in their sight
Do you hear the hounds they call?
Scan the dark eyes aglow
Through the bitter rain and cold
They hunt you down
Hunt you down
7. Thorazine Shuffle
8. 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...
9. Power of the Night
Out there coming closer quicker
Moving with a swiftness
Closing in on me
Children of the metal movement
The legions growing stronger
Stronger than they believe
It's a power I'm drawing
From a light that's glowing
Power of the night
The call of the wild
Power of the night
Raise the fist of the metal child
Thrashing, screaming, twisting, banging
Heads upon the platform
The witch has been conceived
Children of the metal movement
The armies growing stronger
Crack my cranium
It's a power I'm drawing
From a light that's glowing
Power of the night
The call of the wild
Power of the night, ah!
Raise the fist of the metal child
Out there coming closer quicker
Moving with a swiftness
Closing in on me
Thrashing, screaming, twisting, banging
Heads upon the platform
The witch has been conceived
Power of the night
The call of the wild
Power of the night
Raise the fist of the metal child
Power of the night
The call from the wild
Power of the night
Power of the night
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
11. Warriors
As the edge of midnight falls
The warrior stands alone
Visions of the fighting past
A thousands tales are told
Immortal
Let the battles of street life begin
Don some leathers and chains
They live their life And they feel their own pain
The times that is chilling their bones
And they can't get away
Alone in the cold Watching night turn into day
Armed to attack
The soldiers react
Kill or be killed
Is the life they live
Warriors, warriors
Warriors of the world
Warriors, warriors
Warriors of the world
On the streets they are roaming the night
Out to claim their domain
One more pointless battle with nothing to gain
And life is a Hell for them
Living with the shadows of death
Scratching and clawing till no souls are left
Armed to attack
The soldiers react
Kill or be killed
Is the life they live
Warriors, warriors
Warriors of the world
Warriors, warriors
Warriors of the world
They call the streets of Hell their home!
They're not alone...
A thousands tales are told
The streets of Hell their home
Warriors, warriors
Warriors of the world
Warriors, warriors
Warriors of the world
Warriors, warriors
Warriors of the world
Warriors, warriors
Warriors of the world
12. Necrophilia
Last time she touched me
I set a course for L.A.
Midnight flight...
Now she tried to tell me
That she comes from the grave
Such a sight...
Stay away, your hands are cold
Frigid lips, evil soul..., yeah
She's a deceiver! Disbeliever!
Inconceiver! Necrophilia!
Black candles burning
On her altar of ice
She's no fight...
Heavy metal maiden
On her way through the night air!
Get away, your hands are cold
Cadaver eyes, wicked soul, yeah, no!
Black candles burning
On her altar of ice
She's no fighting...
Heavy metal maiden
On her way through the night air!
Stay away, your hands are cold
Frigid lips, evil soul..., yeah
She's a deceiver! Disbeliever!
Inconceiver! Necrophilia!
13. 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
14. Twisted Little Sister
Twisted little sister
Rollerskate baby
Driving me crazy tonight
I'm bound in your luscious chains
Beat me and hurt me
I love to get into pain
You never knew what this pain could do for you
Go down-down-down to the penetentiary
I tried suicide
Little sister ride
Hoping for more bodies to burn
For such an action
Call main attraction your love
I'm gagged, gagged and tied to a bed
Sweet tasting sister
Love what you do to my head
You never knew what this pain could do for you
Go down-down-down to the penetentiary
I tried suicide
Little sister ride
Broken, broken heart at the seams
Hey, I know you hate me
You know you ate me so mean
But now that my session is through
Twisted sister I'm longing for you, come here!
You never knew baby I need you, come on!
Go down-down-down to the penetentiary
I tried suicide
Little sister ride
15. Midas Knight
16. I Believe
Beyond the skies rising so high
Set a course for the unknown
But I believe there's life out there
Somehow we'll find it...
The countdown begins, our ship soon will launch
On it's perilous flight to the stars
A civilized race, on some distant world
They'll find you wherever they go
I believe we'll find a new world
Can't you see we cannot return?
Systems are go as we leave behind
A planet that's doomed to end
Nuclear wars, the polluted seas
Doomsday begins it's descent
Where do we go?
What'll we find?
Is there life?
Are they live?
I believe
For two thousand years we sought and we searched
The galaxy's black holes in space
Then on the day of 30-13 we came upon a race
I believe we can survive on this sphere
Plotting a course to enter our stratosphere
We're finally here
Can we survive?
A cryosphere
I hope there's life
I believe
We land our ship on a green barren plain
Once outside from a box the voice came:
"Welcome to Earth
May we ask who you are?
Our race is called Man
The planet is done, done, done, done..."
Planet is doomed
Hands of the moon
Forgotten tune
Hands of the moon
Planet is doomed
Forget the blue
