1. The Tempter
I am the tempter
Ruler of hell
Bringer of evil
Beware
Watch for temptation for it is there
Takes his time but loves to dare
All the people they are losing their minds
He don't care, takes all kinds
Says love won't you take a bite
God appears says "this ain't right"
We are damned for what evil has done
You know now the Tempter has won
I am the one
The almighty
I'll give you the good things in life
Take me
It is said God tempteth no man
Keep in mind you know he can
Listen to one now this we must
For we are all conceived with lust
The tempter, he taketh you brain
WE know now who will reign
god says it bringeth forth sin
Take my word it brings on death
This time you have won
but what about the next
You know I'll get you
Bastards
When you are losing your mortal soul
It's too late to cry to the Lord
Hear me now all you sinners
2. Assassin
On earth there are men who take
Lives of those who care enough to help
What gives you the right
To put man's life in your hands
You're a cold-blooded killer
You must be insane
Revolting against the human race
Don't give a damn about anyone
What gives you the right
To put man's life in your hands
You're a cold-blooded killer
You must be insane
Assassin, were you sent from hell
To destroy one more chance for peace
What gives you the right
To put man's life in your hands
You're a cold-blooded killer
You must be insane
Stupid man of hate
3. Victim of the Insane
You want the world to buy your happiness
Ain't it a shame you have to hurt the ones you love
Never giving yourself taking all that you can get
But you don't take nothing with you except your soul
I'm so tired of hearing that I'm wrong
Everyone laughs at me. Why me?
I'm so tired of being pushed around
I feel like I've been betrayed
We take each other's love, forget to give back
Isn't it a pity, how we break each other's hearts
I know we're only human and not to blame
But who the hell are you to cause so much pain
I'm so tired of hearing that I'm wrong
Everyone laughs at me. Why me?
I'm so tired of being pushed around
I feel like I've been betrayed
Why do you criticize me
What have I done to deserve such a fate
Why do you look at me that way
Because of all your tears your eyes can't hope to see
See that we are all the same
We are not perfect, just forgiven
Open your eyes and set yourself free
Before we are all victims of the insane
4. Revelation (Life or Death)
Troubled is the world
Evil in the air
God is here to help
When Satan casts despair
Beast upon the earth
Christians dying
Satan says, "trust me"
He was only lying
Poor souls of earth
In hates desire
Eternal death
In the lake of fire
We don't need no sympathy
>From those of you who'll live
We believe in dying
For things that God will give
Lucifer will rule the earth
Seven years of death
God will grant eternal life
For all of you we pray
5. Bastards Will Pay
You make our decisions
You make our rules
Then you make us fight your stupid wars
That's going too far
Come on people, let me hear you say
You Bastards, you're gonna pay
You tell us not to steal
You tell us not to kill
Then you tell us to fight for your country
That's tell us to die
Come on people, let me hear you say
You Bastards, you're gonna pay
"Reach for yourself
And your battered mates
The time has come
I'm not talkin' about no revolution
I only want to find a solution
I want to change the world"
You can't fight 'em with words
You can't fight 'em with rage
Fight 'em with peace and love
It's our only chance
Come on people, let me hear you say
You Bastards, you're gonna pay
6. The Fall of Lucifer
Lucifer, the angel of light
Wanted power, and chose to fight
Lord God, the creator of all
Is the power, met his final call
Choose the way that's in your heart
Conquer all the hate
You need all the love God brings
Don't fall in the hands of fate
Now the dragon, so he is called
Went to battle like fire he crawled
Lord God, mighty sword in hand
Slayed the dragon, will this ever end
Choose the way that's in your heart
Conquer all the hate
You need all the love God brings
Don't fall in the hands of fate
od's throne which was never done
Good must come at any cost
Lucifer, now the wicked Satan
Lives in fire, hate you, yes he can
Cast down from heaven
Thou hath been beaten O Lucifer
With all they followers of sin
You shall die in flames of the fire
So you think that you believe
Satan just laughing in your face
Join hands give praise to the lord
Be saved, o will you not be saved
7. Endtime (instrumental)
8. Psalm 9
The Lord shall endure forever
For he hath prepared his throne for judgment
And they that know thy name will put thy trust in thee
For thou Lord have not forsaken those that seek thee
I will praise thee O Lord
I will sing praise in they name
Don't forget the cry of the humble
Have mercy on me
Put them in fear O Lord
That the nations may know
Let them realize they are just men, just men
Thou hast rebuked the HEATHEN
Thou hast destroyed the wicked
Won't forget the cry of the humble
Have mercy on me
Put them in fear O Lord
That the nations may know
Let them realize they are just men, just men
The Lord shall endure forever
For he hath prepared his throne for judgment
And they that know thy name will put thy trust in thee
For thou Lord have not forsaken those that seek thee
Put them in fear O Lord
That the nations may know
Let them realize they are just men, just men
The Lord will be a refuge
For the oppressed
A refuge in times of trouble
We are not holy men
But at least we try
Try to serve as best we can
Sometimes I'd like to die
Why must you be so angry
Treat each other wrong
The poor will not be forgotten
God loves us all
9. Tales of Brave Ulysses (Cream cover)
You thought the leaden winter would bring you down forever,
But you rode upon a steamer to the violence of the sun.
And the colors of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids,
And you touch the distant beaches with tales of brave ulysses:
How his naked ears were tortured by the sirens sweetly singing,
For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white laced lips.
And you see a girl’s brown body dancing through the turquoise,
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea.
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body,
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind.
The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.
Her name is aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell,
And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands
With tales of brave ulysses; how his naked ears were tortured
By the sirens sweetly singing.
The tiny purple fishes run lauging through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.
