1. Madam Guillotine
Running through the streets
The silence is haunting you
You know they prepare for attack
Can't walk around, I got to beware
Keep in the dark, out of sight
Got to keep running, time's running out
Beware of the knife in your back
Victim of hate, no one believes
Who cares what is wrong or what is right
Bridge
Screaming vengeance, I want to be free
Murder or treason, what's it to be
Chorus
Stand and stare so silently
Death awaits so patiently
Priest approach, the rites are read
Wait and see, the blade will fall
Running like hell and into the night
Wait 'til the time is just right
People are screaming out for revenge
The price is a life for a life
Fighting and screaming, bodies lie bleeding
Fires burn into the night
Years of restraint begin to decay
It's the law of the knife
Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus
The tide of power has turned
Now you are screaming don't let me die
Silently you fall down to your knees
Scream that charges are lies
Solo
It's too late now, the angel of death hangs over you
Tears fill my eyes, you hear the blade slide
You're going to die
2. Fever
Run for your life, there's danger in the air
You know the fate
Can't reason why, I look into the past
But it's too late
Down on the streets, into the depths of the night
Never, never look back
Chorus
Fever, fever, fever
All night long
Fever, fever, fever
All night long
Dressed for the kill, blood is running hot
Again tonight
Time's running out, all hell's breaking loose
It's dynamite
Neon lights, battle fights
No one stands in the way
Chorus
Solo
Chorus
Solo
3. Night Of The Blade
Run for your life, there's danger in the air
You know the fate
Can't reason why, I look into the past
But it's too late
Down on the streets, into the depths of the night
Never, never look back
Chorus
Fever, fever, fever
All night long
Fever, fever, fever
All night long
Dressed for the kill, blood is running hot
Again tonight
Time's running out, all hell's breaking loose
It's dynamite
Neon lights, battle fights
No one stands in the way
Chorus
Solo
Chorus
Solo
4. Breakout
Stare through the window, a cold and empty cell
Recalling all the fear I feel about this night
Time's standing still, my spirit's running low
I'm not afraid to die but I know the end's in sight
Bridge
Another prisoner trapped inside these walls
Tell me that I'm dreaming, I hear them call my name
Chorus
Danger, danger, breakout, breakout
danger, danger, breakout, breakout
Siren's screaming out, searchlights burn my eyes
My body's aching, the dogs are on my trail
Tears in my eyes, roadblocks up ahead
Somebody's screaming, the dead men tell no tales
Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus
Solo
Repeat chorus
5. Unleash The Beast
Step this way, don't be afraid
Ten minutes of your time, the show has begun
Don't wait too long, there's room for more
Straight through that door, no need to run
Bridge
Now you pay, too slow to see
How it's too be, oh the lies
Death on the run, take me now
Chorus
Running, running for cover
Running, unleash the beast
Running, running for cover
Running, unleash the beast
The time has come, don't run away
Just step a little closer and you will be mine
You've made the choice, you're free to go
The price you pay is anytime
Bridge
Solo
Chorus
Solo
Chorus
6. Attack Attack
Sunrise, another day, smile on a killer's face
Strikes terror through the heart, all's lost without a trace
Pressure high at overload, fever pitch, it's gonna blow
They're closing in, the time is short
Somebody's gonna steal the show
A game of chance, the stakes are high
Spin the wheel, the ball will ride
No escape, no return
Squeeze the trigger, it's time to die
Power mad, the path is set
Can anybody tame this land
Terror deals destruction
Are we gonna change this hand
Make a stand, the charge begins
One step from genocide
And everybody's screaming why
It's hard to tell who's on your side
Chorus
Attack, attack
Until there's no one left to fight
Attack, attack
My gun is ready to explode
Attack, attack
until there's no one left to fight
attack, attack
my gun is ready to explode
Solo
Repeat chorus
7. Lightning Strikes (extended version)
I want to know if there's a reason
We keep on searching, we don't find a clue
In the gutter, in the free zone
We're all monkeys in a human zoo
Bridge#1
I won't take it any longer
Street lover, a love alone
The storm is raging, it's getting stronger
It's like a bomb, it's ready to blow
Bridge#2
Thunder rolls, and I can't live forever
Thunder rolls, I just can't take it
Chorus
Lightning strikes straight through the heart (x4)
Keep trying just a little harder
Give me an inch and I'll take the world
I'm hungry, think I'll raid the larder
I need attention like a little girl
Bridge#1
Bridge#2
Chorus
Solo
Bridge#2
Chorus
8. Warrior Of The Rising Sun
In a long time ago, when the sword was your soul
And the sun turned to gold, and the day turned to night
A man stands alone, knowing he has the right
And the power of life, over all he surveys
With his sword in his hand, he rules all the land
Even fools understand, he lives just to fight
A man rich in pride, no one dares to defy
Don't stare in his eyes, 'cos he's the samurai
He bows his head and cries
'By The Sword I Will Live To Die'
His eyes are ablaze when he screams out his name
He lifts his sword to the rising sun
The sun hits the steel as he's shielding his eyes
He rules with the blade, will it drive him insane?
Death in life is his only way
Blood stains the land as they heed his commands
He'll fight to the death, when he makes his last stand
The time will come when they claim his crown
He'll be cut down 'cos he's only a man
But until that day, he will rule all this land
Samurai!
Samurai!
Samurai!
Samurai!
By the sword, You live to die...
Solo
You first killed so long ago
The way the warrior learns to fight
Can you feel your life's blood draining away?
Has the power to foresee
Knows the future, what's been before
Can't you see he's getting stronger? Sa-mur-ai!
Samurai!
9. Someone To Love
That girl, she don't give a damn
I try to fight it but its driving me mad
Nothing stops her, nothing ever could
Like a flame burning inside
One look into her eyes, she'll burn you alive
I can't fight it, don't know if I should
I know you run around, I know the things you say
I feel the pain but I can't turn away
I know its wrong but I just can't break the spell
Cold as ice, always in control
But you're so distant, always far away
Can't believe it, thought I knew so well
Chorus
Someone to love (someone to love)
Gonna make you feel alright
Someone to love (someone to love)
Gonna make you feel alright
Someone to love
Red hot, burning fire, gonna bring my love to you
I can feel your blood run hot
Gonna bring you, to your knees
Solo
Repeat Chorus
10. Mean Streak
Standing in the shadows, evil smile upon his face
Today he's on top but tomorrow he'll be down
He strikes for vengeance then he's gone without a trace
Mark my words, he'll be back, no time to lose
Bridge
Play into his hands, it's no good turning back
One look into his eyes, a face that twists your mind
Chorus
Mean streak
He's got a mean streak
Oh mean streak
A mean streak
Acting like a child but he walks the road to ruin
Steal everything you've got, then throw your life away
When he gives a helping hand, do you know what he's doing
He's got the power to make things work, it's part of his plan
Bridge
Chorus
Solo
Bridge
