1. Still at War
All right... There they stand our fine leaders all,
While they're together... Has any one thought to talk...
There's no plan. Crisis? Not at all their own existence
Relies on a horse to stalk...
While they're backbiting an air strike, like lightning engage!
There's been no peace sittings today... They're still fighting... 'Cause we're Still at War,
Still at War, still fighting, but what are they fighting for
Uncle Sam, this one's too close to call, you're under pressure,
From Israel's wailing wall, insane sad man
Your flag's about to fall the world is indifferent
To your pleas for food for oil hatred inciting
A no-fly zone sitting... engage! It's too late the bombs are away...They're still fighting...
Cause we're, Still at War... Still at War. Still fighting, but what are they fighting for?
(repeat) Still At War... Still At War... Let it be so... They're still fighting,
'Cause we're, Still At War. Still At War, still fighting,
But what are they fighting for? (repeat) Still At War... Still At War...
2. That Girl's Name Is Death (T.G.N.I.D.)
Goin' down now... I should've known,
From the start, when I met her, at Selhurst Park
So she could get her evil way, she had me drinking night and day
The 205 was parked up we talked a while...
And then we fucked, I lost my tether
I was blown apart she stole my hard drive
And then my heart I didn't need to be stuck like glue,
In a relationship, with a girl like you...
Nineteen with life to go, there was no trick she didn't know, she has a mole
Where my tongue rests where? You'll have to guess
That girl's name is death, that girl's name is death
It lasted a thousand days, it just left me confused & dazed
When push come to shove little old Alge
Wasn't good enough...Nineteen with life to go...
There was no trick she didn't know...
Blonde hair perfect face... What she needs is a pearl necklace...
One regret, I have to this day that I didn't give her "A"
She has a mole where my tongue rests, where?
You'll have to guess... that girls name is death...
Werrrrrrroooo goin down now... Nineteen with life to go... etc...That girl's name is death...
3. Light the Fire (Watch 'em Burn)
Yo! A protest march is guarded, on each side
By London's finest Metropolitan pride
There won't be trouble, batons left behind...
The tapes are runnin'... A marcher thinks that now is the time...
To make a statement, while still in her prime
She sets her clothes alight, several times...
The tapes are runnin', the tapes are runnin', the tapes are runnin', the tapes are runnin'
In real time... Light the fire, watch'em burn. Light the fire, watch'em burn, watch'em burn
The lens man stands, behind the Police line...
Taking shots that he will soon decide...
What will make the headlines at nine
The tapes are runnin', the tapes are runnin', the tapes are runnin', the tapes are runnin'...
In real time... Light the Fire, watch'em burn, light the Fire, watch'em burn
(repeat) Watch'em burn, watch'em burn, watch'em burn, Oh modulate,
Would you Clifford, light the fire... Light the fire, watch'em burn, light the fire, watch'em burn
(repeat) Watch'em burn, watch'em burn. Watch'em burn, watch'em burn. Hell, watch'em burn.
4. The World Awaits
Yeah, Yeah I tend to see things, as they really are...
Right up close, near and far emotional cripple and Lord I bare the scars...
That's me standing at the bar from the age of eighteen, to the age of twenty-one...
I was fired up, having fun down at the "speak", chasing slammers on the run...
And getting high, from a shotgun I walked in, eyes open wide it felt good inside
Was I scared? I was petrified... But I won't stop, 'til I'm certified...
I've got the world, in the palm of my hand...The world awaits my every command...
For the last six years I have lived with pain...In my side, in my brain
It's no matter, I'd still be the same...Heading out on the road again
I walked in, eyes open wide... It felt good inside, was I scared? I was petrified...
But I won't stop 'til I'm certified, I've got the world in the palm of my hand...
The world awaits my every command (repeat) I've got the world in the palm of my hand...
The world awaits my every command (repeat)
5. And Then We Hear the Thunder
Tornado's a coming mother nature's main event storm chasers running
To the scene of the accident a car lies broken at the side of the road
Someone trapped inside but who will know a gas line's broke, it's on fire
It will explode debris falls from the sky the sheer force, the sheer power
It mystifies we all have a time to die but it's time to say goodbye...
And then we heard the thunder so loud it shook the ground
And then we heard the thunder such an awesome sound
The wreck is still burning Detroit metal, twisted and bent
There's no point returning as those inside are heaven sent
We just stand and watch and cry with remorse, we cower
Under dangerous skies we all have a time to die but it's time to say goodbye...
And then we heard the thunder so loud it shook the ground
And then we heard the thunder such an awesome sound.
6. In the Last Hours Before Dawn
See the young man see he's crying see his first born, lay in his arms dying
Where a child once stood was where she always would
See his young wife, see she's crying see her first born, lay in his arms dying
If she only stood where her child always would
A young life would not know the river ice would not hold
A young life would not know the river freezes so cold
In the last hours before dawn in the last hours before dawn
In the last hours, they will mourn in the last hours before dawn
See the flowers, see the coffin see that her life will not be forgotten
If they only could, you know they'd turn back the clock for good
A young life would not know the river ice would not hold
A young life would not know the river freezes so cold.
7. Conspiracy of Hate
Now they're all together. There is no one in disguise, now they're all together.
They can see each other's eyes now they're all together...
They can spin a web of lies now they're all together...They can ruin someone's life
A nations hero is exposed... But do we really care our hero's story will be told
But do we really care our hero's book will soon be sold...But do we really care
Our hero's album has gone gold... But, do we really care
A conspiracy of hate, the misery they create
Now in the star chamber...Their next victim is in line now in the star chamber.
Fit the suspect to the crime now in the star chamber...Throw the dice they'll win...
You'll lose now in the star chamber...
All aboard the ship of fools a nations hero is exposed
But, do we really care our hero's story will be told... But do we really care
Our hero's book will soon be sold... But do we really care
Our hero's album, has gone gold...But do we really care
A conspiracy of hate the misery they create
A conspiracy of hate the misery they create
A conspiracy of hate you bastards...A nations hero etc...
A conspiracy of hate the misery they create a conspiracy of hate
The misery they create a conspiracy of hate...
8. When the Hunter Becomes Hunted
Hell, yeah...Going back to Vietnam again, searching for ghosts and old news
I'm standing in the Saigon rain wonderin' which lens that I used
Oh yeah, what can you tell from a photograph? Oh yeah, how do you know
When to cry or laugh? Ho Chi Minh City is now it's name
Pot holed battered abused a waste of life for little gain
An airfield overgrown and disused
Oh yeah, what can you tell from a photograph? Oh yeah, how do you know when to cry or laugh?
When the hunter becomes the hunted, when the hunter becomes the hunted
Ah yeah... Hell yeah... Aaaaaaah...
The camera's silent it waits in vain focused and ready to use
This limbless child does have a name
Agent orange? I thought that you knew
Oh yeah, what can you tell from a photograph? Oh yeah, how do you know when to cry or laugh?
When the hunter becomes the hunted, when the hunter becomes the hunted
(repeat) Ah Yeah...Ah Yeah... When the hunter becomes the hunted
When the hunter becomes the hunted (repeat) Ah Yeah...
9. Return of the Filth Hounds
Ten long years of being off the tracks
We return a full on attack well, well, well
The tour bus Parked right out the back
The parking lot at Offenbach we met some friends there
Manfred and Gotz...They're out there, somewhere Manfred and Gotz...
They're out there, somewhere Cerberus...
Heralds the return Cerberus... Heralds the return Cerberus-Heralds the return... Of the filth hounds
We disembark for a night time raid Deutschland roars as we hit the stage...
Man, you should've been there Manfred and Gotz...
They're out there, somewhere Manfred and Gotz....
They're out there somewhere Cerberus...
Heralds the return Cerberus… Heralds the return Cerberus... Heralds the return... Of the filth hounds
M.T.W. Hammer on!!! Cerberus... Heralds The Return Cerberus...Heralds The Return Cerberus...
Heralds the return... Of the filth hounds...(repeat)
10. The Blood's Still on Their Hands
Yeah, yeah, just one man is all it takes...To turn fear... into race hale
This one man had chose the Jew to destroy away from view
Afraid to hide afraid to fight Gestapo raid in the night
One whole nation on the run from the jack boot and the gun...
They've not forgotten the Fuhrer's master plan
Juden Verbotten in Deutschland
They've not forgotten the hatred shown to man
Juden Verbotten... Understand... The blood's still on their hands
Pray for the fallen and the brave...And hope their souls will be saved
A Holocaust, no other name... Millions lie in unmarked graves...
They've not forgotten, etc...
The blood's still on their hands
The survivors one's he spared they're still frightened
They're still scared live a nightmare all their lives... Peace will come, when they die...
They've not forgotten, the Fuhrer's master plan, etc...
11. The Fear Inside
A bottom line decision you're in the field of vision a cut means an incision somewhere...
We're not in your division a lie, a politician you get what you are given so there...
There's nothing to see here a life without religion a crash without collision
A laugh without derision nowhere, a sense of style is driven
Four miles are never ridden, to a good home a kitten I don't care
Without love you are one without God you're no-one not allowed to have any fun
The fear inside...Right here inside...The fear inside...Right here, inside
The underneath is hidden the hand that feeds is bitten an ancient aunt, bedridden
Don't stare, forgive the unforgiven know every word that's written
The naked eye that's smitten do I care? Without love you are one
Without God you're no one not allowed to have any fun
The fear inside...Right here inside...The fear inside...Right here inside
(repeat) Ooooh shoo shoo. The fear inside... Right here inside
The Fear Inside... Right here inside (repeat) A how, how, how, how.
