1. Over the Wall (live)
I've been a prisoner trapped in by fear
Ordered for the rest of my life
Condemned in a jail cell, ain't seen life in years
Escape is the only way out
Restart my life or self destruction
To climb this wall of dark construction
Holding the quest for freedom that beckons me
My sanity is all but gone, my patience is growing very weak
I need to get a hold of myself
I stare at the wall for the right time has come
Escape must occur on this night
Restart my life or self destruction
To climb this wall of dark construction
Holding the quest for freedom that beckons me
Stand in my way and I'll run you straight through
There's no one to stop me now
For I'm on the loose and I'm ready to start
Torture and hell an this town
Over the wall!!!
The search will not stop and hounds will not rest
Till I am back in my cell
For if I am caught, I'll try it again
Over the wall I will go, I will go.!. Go!
Restart my life or self destruction
To climb this wall of dark construction
Holding the quest for freedom that beckons me
2. So Many Lies (live)
I didn't mean to offend you, but you were way out of line
And I can't help the way I feel, who said I feel fine?
I'll only give you one warning then you must realize
The day of judgement is closing in; your selfish ways bring your demise
He who lies; evil pays
Who are you? Who made you anyway ?
Wrong or right - who's to say?
I wanna know who made you God today?
Slave to the ways of the system soon to be crucified
I've seen into your darkest fears, the ones you cannot hide
I know where you go when your fears start showing
You run, you cannot hide
Will they respect you when you ask of the world:
Forgive me for so many lies
He who lies; evil pays
Who are you? Who made you anyway ?
Wrong or right - who's to say?
I wanna know who made you God today?
Is there a need to pretend to be a man so divine?
And even if I offended you, my truth you can't deny
I know where you go when your fears start showing
You run, you cannot hide
Will they respect you when you ask of the world:
Forgive me for so many lies
He who lies; evil pays
Who are you? Who made you anyway ?
Wrong or right - who's to say?
I wanna know who made you God today?
3. The Haunting (live)
Hear the screams, screams of fright: shrieks of terror through the night
Souls of old band to hold; the meeting for the haunting night
Headless ghosts fill the halls, shadow plays of grief and pain
Phantom speaks his final note; tenants of the castle slain
Black cats will appear as the witching hour nears
Lost souls will all be told for a haunting we will... go!
See their dreams come to life under pressure holding tight
Feel the cold grabbing hold to feed you to the haunting night
Evil witch black as pitch starts a fire with a flinch
Burning fire rising higher making music like a choir
Children of the night - they're howling at black skies
The ruthless calls within for the haunting now begins!
~Stay away!~ from the shining light; can't seem to find the answers there
~Bring back!~ the terror in the night that we all share tonight!
Hear the screams, screams of fright: shrieks of terror through the night
Souls of old band to hold; the meeting for the haunting night
Headless ghosts fill the halls, shadow plays of grief and pain
Phantom speaks his final note; tenants of the castle slain
Black cats will appear as the witching hour nears
Lost souls will all be told for a haunting we will... go!!!
4. Disciples of the Watch (live)
Cast to the fire, banned by the light worship and listen to me
Condemned in his mind, in his evil place your fate is all that you'll see
I am the one to show you the path - salvation is in the fields
Listen up children and follow me or I'll let you pay the price of Malachi!
Disciples of the watch ~obey!~ or I'll burn you to that cross!
Holding the mass, the demon is cast to resurrect your soul
Calling to him is like an evil sin - a prophet is what they're told
Taking the land under command killing friend or foe
Feel the might of his evil wrath desecrate your soul!
Disciples of the watch ~obey!~ or I'll burn you to that cross!
Disciples of the watch, disciples of the watch... watch...
Obey.!.
Cast to the fire, banned by the light worship and listen to me
Condemned in his mind, in his evil place your fate is all that you'll see
I am the one to show you the path - salvation is in the fields
Listen up children and follow me or I'll let you pay the price of Malachi!
Disciples of the watch ~obey!~ or I'll burn you to that cross!
Disciples of the watch...
5. Reign of Terror
Marching our way through the crypts of the dead
Taking his land by command
Killing our victims and taking no slaves
Hitler's final Third Reich
Engines are roaring, the warheads a blast
The destroyer claims their fate
Hell's legions armies, they march to defy
Lucifer takes his wait
Obeying this task by our leaders will
Death camps have taken their toll
The cold winds of winter are present forever
Destroyers claim their fate
Fighting our way through the mist of the night
Taking the life from young souls
Marching our armies prepared to fight
The cities all laid destroyed
Machine guns are firing, the tanks are a blast
Bombing our way through Hell
Generals smiling, destruction strikes
Our armies have done well
Obeying this task by our leaders will
Death camps have taken their toll
The cold winds of winter are present forever
Destroyers claim their fate... their fate.!.
Though the dead have trapped us in
We'll break the pact a deadly whim
Faisoned hammers wielded straight
Cursing us back to Hell's gates, ah!
Black magic force thats taken it's course
The world lives in fear, the death calls are near...
Awaiting this task battle at last
The worlds left to defy; now's the time for you to die...
Marching our way through the crypts of the dead
Taking his land by command
Killing our victims and taking no slaves
Hitler's final Third Reich
Engines are roaring, the warheads a blast
The destroyer claims their fate
Hell's legions armies, they march to defy
Lucifer takes his wait
Obeying this task by our leaders will
Death camps have taken their toll
The cold winds of winter are present forever
Destroyers claim their fate
6. Return to Serenity (radio edit)
I'm gonna take you to a place far from here
No one will see us; watch the pain as it disappears
No time for anger, no time for despair
Won't you come with me? There's a room for us there
This innocent beauty my words can't describe
This rebirth purity brings a sullen tear right to your eyes
No time for anger, no time for despair
Please let me take you 'cause I'm already there
I'm so alone - my head's my home
I'll return to serenity
Rhyme without reason is why children cry
They see through the system, that's breeding them just so they die
So please let me take you and I'll show you the truth
Inside my reality we shared in our youth
I'm so alone - my head's my home
And I feel... so alone, so alone, you know
At last I'll return to serenity
Now that I've taken you to a place far from here
I really must go back; close your eyes and we'll disappear
Won't you come with me, salvation we'll share
Inside of my head now there's a room for us there
I'm so alone - my head's my home
And I feel... so alone, so alone, you know
At last I'll return to serenity
