1. War
Lyrics by: Scott St. Onge
Verse 1
They've got the guns, we've got the tanks
A dispute is at hand
The bombs drop, your city burns
Concrete turned to sand
A thousand lives in a single flush
So tell me where does it end
There's no point, so someone tell me why
Who gives the command -- to die
Bridge
As the tension mounts
And the battle nears
Things destroyed in minutes,
That took years to build
Chorus
WAR! Death for millions
Ending all your fears
WAR! The end of mankind,
Madness preservers
Verse 2
The enemies stock the battlefields
With all the latest things
Battle zone, hearing lost
By armor piercing rings
No where to hide as a laser sights,
A round's let loose
Now your life is ending,
Who makes the excuse -- to die
Bridge
In the heat of the fight,
Not sure what to do
Time's blurred in your mind,
Gut feelings coming through
Chorus
WAR! Death for millions
Ending all your fears
WAR! The end of mankind,
Madness preservers
Verse 3
Enemy planes in your airspace,
Why do they have to fly so low
The seeds of death they carry,
The seeds of death they sow
The time is near
Amidst the smoke and flame
The world's in ruins, that's a shame
2. Turning To Black
Lyrics: J. Witt
S. Randall
Verse 1
They shed their wings
Before they learned to fly
They told the truth
Before they learned to fly
They took the bite
Before they learned to eat
They took the knife
Before they learned defeat
A power struggle
In their breed, all for shame
They wear the mask,
The mask of life’s game
Burned by fate
Before the grand prise came
Blood stained hands,
Killer of the king
Chorus
Turning to black,
No light on the morn
Turning to black,
For darkness was born
Verse 2
They learned to laugh
Before they learned to cry
Commit no crimes
But still need alibis
Bite off the hands
That feed the status quo
Shoot down the truth,
In religion they’re bred to know
A bloody fight,
A deadly way to win
Slaughter of innocence,
Herrod’s mortal sin
A shooting star
Before the darkness came
Challenging fate…
Chorus
Turning to black,
No light on the morn
Turning to black,
For darkness was born
Verse 3
They closed their eyes
Before they learned t see
Prisoners before they were ever free
The hands of time,
Tick, tick, impending doom
The rising tides curse
Both me and you
And in the end
All hope turns to black
No light in front,
No light in back
No heaven above,
No hell below
Nothing but purgatory as you go
Chorus
Turning to black,
No light on the morn
Turning to black,
For darkness was born
3. Suicide 39
Lyrics by: Jack Witt
Verse 1
Please, please set me free
Release my being, why don’t you
Why, why the questions die
The smell of death surrounds you
Bridge
Live...for..judgement day
Thirty-nine suicides for Heaven’s Gate
Verse 2
Wait, wait don’t hesitate
Just leave behind your vicitims
Ina spider’s web, caught;
Again, techno violation
Chorus
Where have they gone?
Where do they roam?
They followed hope, followed lies
Left this world for the skies
Now their souls are gone
A demi-god had his fun
Verse 3
See, see disillusioned you’ll be
I’ll take your brain right from you
Your thoughts are mine
We’ll leave through time
Apocalyptic duty
Bridge
Live...for..judgement day
Thirty-nine suicides for Heaven’s Gate
Guitar Solo

Verse 4
Wait, wait don’t hesitate
Just leave behid your victims
Ina spider’s web, caught;
Again, techno-vision
Chorus
Where have they gone?
Where do they roam?
They followed hope, followed lies
Left this world for the skies
Now their souls are gone
A demi-god had his fun
Bridge
Live...for..judgement day
Thirty-nine suicides for Heaven’s Gate
4. Never Forfeit
Lyrics by: Jack Witt
Verse 1
Why do the children sleep
With their backs to the wall?
Why does their innocence bleed
To let passion take it all?
Chorus
Was it the same in my life?
Was it the same in yours?
The devil takes his own bite
To ensure we sleep in peace no more
Verse 2
Why do the children cry
Hypocritical lullabies?
Why do they take their lives
To birth another sacrifice?
Chorus
Was it the same in my life?
Was it the same in yours?
The devil takes his own bite
To ensure we sleep in peace no more
Interlude
I will not forfeit it
I will not accept this
I will not forfeit this
I will not bow down
Verse 3
Why do the children lie?
For selfish greedy spite?
Why do they steal the heart?
To break it into pieces
Right from the start?
Chorus
Was it the same in my life?
Was it the same in yours?
The devil takes his own bite
To ensure we sleep in peace no more
Outro
I will not forfeit
I will not forget
(repeat and fade)
5. Iyoume
Lyrics by: Jack Witt
Steve Randall
Verse 1
So justice is served
When you make no friends,
Have no reserves
Mind games you play
A black heart beats an illusion game
What I have, you don’t need
What you have I don’t want
Six years to read my mind
Don’t judge a book
By the cover that binds
Chorus
You can’t take me down
To the ground
Fight fire with fire
I got burning desire
Snuff out the greed with humanity
The silver spoon is lost with reality
..I-you-me
Verse 2
Take one thousand steps back
But you’ve never been on track
A winner you will never be
Honesty clouded by
A big smoke screen
I’ve got something you don’t have
Strange things like this make us mad
Equivocal as you wanna be
It’ll never wrap it’s web around me
Chorus
You can’t take me down
To the ground
Fight fire with fire
I got burning desire
Snuff out the greed with humanity
The silver spoon is lost with reality
..I-you-me
Guitar Solo
Verse 3
Bask in sadness, dwell in fear
Make no efforts to clear the air
Silence is a purgatory
When words are hushed
For power’s glory
Make no efforts, gain no trust
The silver lining turns to dust
When it’s all been said and done
It’s all been said and dumb.
6. Out Of My Mind
Lyrics: J. Witt
Verse 1
Watch a shadow gather rain
Feel your mind become insane
Don’t bear witness to the thought
Your mind will bleed of what it thought
Down the river, as place I know
To ease your mind and just let go
It’s all pure thought, just black ‘n’ white
So eat my mind: A thought, delight!
Chorus (2x’s)
Out of my head, it must be
Out of my mind
Out of my brain, it must be
Out of my mind
Verse 2
Fallen leaves can make me think
Out of nothingness I’m on the brink
Free my mind, decisions none
Logic will block out the sun
Take a rose and pluck it bare
Society does not seem to care
Darkness is eternal night
To suck my knowledge out of sight
Chorus (2x’s)
Out of my head, it must be
Out of my mind
Out of my brain, it must be
Out of my mind
7. Fuel
Lyrics: S. St. Onges
Verse 1
Dead on your feet,
Suicide is sweet
Your maker you'll meet,
As time marches on
Guillotine at dawn,
For the crimes you commit
On your death bed you sit,
Now you wait your turn
What's left of you,
We'll burn; yes we'll burn
Chorus
You're fuel, fuel for our fire
You make our flames go higher
Bridge 1
You took, at every opportunity
For your gain, any means
And now with verdict guilty
Electric spark is what you need, you need
(Because death is such) a rush
Verse 2
When we throw the switch,
We'll watch your body twitch
And (laugh) ha, ha, ha
We'll laugh as you burn,
The flames make our wheels turn
Faster and faster,
At the command of our master
We'll put you in the ground,
And the last sound you'll hear
Will be gravel in your ear;
In your demise, we're sincere
Chorus
You're fuel, fuel for our fire
You make our flames go higher
Bridge 2
They strap you down, plug you in
And as lifeblood cooks in you veins
Body scorched and mind insane
Now the acrid smell fills the air
Your victims fate wasn't fair
Lead Bridge
It's your turn to pay
And pay you will
Verse 3
Dead in your seat, doctors job complete
You have the look of charred meat
And as they bring the stretcher in
We know you'll never sin again
Life to you was a game
Now death has become your name
You and death one in the same
Chorus
You're fuel, fuel for our fire
You make our flames go higher
Bridge 1
You took, at every opportunity
For your gain, any means
And now with verdict guilty
Electric spark is what you need, you need
(Because death is such) a rush
8. Paranoid (Black Sabbath cover)
Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
people think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late
9. Alice Dee
Lyrics: J. Michael
Verse 1
Thoughts are distorted now
'Cause I've been, Alice Dee
Everything is moving now
Is this what my eyes really see?
The world is spinning 'round and 'round
She's gonna take me Spiral Wound
Chorus
Alice Dee has gotta hold of me
Alice Dee is killing me
Verse 2
Cigarette trails that seem to last forever
Familiar face that looks like the devil
The red rose is bleeding now
It's blood I will drink
The world is spinning 'round and 'round
Can't tell if I'm up or down
Bridge
And as time seems to slow
Your heart seems to stop
Your eyes will begin to deceive you
Your brain will explode
And as time seems to slow
Your heart seems to stop
Guitar Solo
Chorus
Alice Dee has gotta hold of me
Alice Dee is killing me
Chorus
Alice Dee has gotta hold of me
Alice Dee is killing me
