1. Holy
Raised from the glowing ashes of cauldron iron
The Phoenix arose from the sanctum of metal
Emerging into the light
So many hard times
So many bad lies
A man of steel
You know I'm real
Ev'rything I do
I'm taking all control - it's my heart
You know it's how I feel
So stick it in your mind - now you're mine
Time - it's time I'm taking over
And crank it up in overdrive
I'll tell you why
You know I'm holy
So fucking holy - raise your hands
You know I'm holy
So fucking holy - pain and pride
So many places
So many aces I made a curse
I gave you birth
Ah - glorious metal times
The master of our lives - never died
A special kind of force
Together no remorse - you'll be mine
Burning on overload
Legends won't die
No cross - no burdens to control
No asking why
The master never dies
2. Raiders Of Beyond
Raiders gonna open up the stargate
The planetary call is here to stay
Galactic energy's in all directions
A ticket for a ride on a time machine
Now the gate is open solar wide
Million kingdoms are inside
Raiders of beyond - energise
Raiders of beyond - speed of light
Raiders of beyond - blinding white
Raiders of beyond - blaze eternity
Systematical declining forces 'n' gravity has lost 'n' gone for good
Hypersonic engines scream for mercy
The elements will bear and take the load
3. Midnight Mover
Hey you -- come on
I show you something
There is what it takes for you
Mmh, you better follow me
Go -- gonna ease your pain
Ooh, you will remember me
That's it what they used to say
Seducing everybody for the money
Slow down -- back off
Tell him you don't pay the price
He is a midnight mover
Coming in the night -- going with the light
He is a midnight mover
He can't go on in the sunlight
You better use your brain
Ooh, you are forever free
That's it, there's no place to stay
For someone who is losing, it's not funny
Slow down -- back off
Tell him you don't pay the price
He is a midnight mover
Coming in the night -- going with the light
He is a midnight mover
Midnight mover -- midnight mover
He is a midnight mover
Coming in the night -- going with the light
He is a midnight mover
He can't go on in the sunlight
He is a midnight mover
Coming in the night -- going with the light
He is a midnight mover
He can't go on in the sunlight
4. Independence Day
One electrified eye Freezing metalized smile No more cheating the code The scene is set - emotions disconnected Welcome to the cyber trail Laser cops and sirens wail Held down with magnetic force Said: come with us - you broke the law Obey the rules - don't do no wrong A thought too loud - and crime is done No appeal for the common man Just cold hard facts - in computer land All freedom burns on eternal fire There's no more independence day Forever gone never have another No other independence day Cyborg arms put the straps around One more second 'till the switch comes down Flaching lights - a cage of steel Turns my head into a dead dogs meal In this world - robotic rage You'll understand the acid pain Do no right - you won't last long Remote controlled - under the heel of submission All freedom burns on eternal fire There's no more independence day Forever gone never have another No other independence day No remorse - for human kind No recourse - to keep your mind It's too late - there's no escape Is this the end of the line All freedom burns on eternal fire There's no more independence day Forever gone never have another No other independence day All freedom burns on eternal fire There's no more independence day Forever gone never have another No other independence day No use for humanity We'll never ever be free again No tomorrows Zero - the number of the year Zero - the number of the year
5. Metal Eater
It slits you up - deep inside It hits you here right between your eyes It’s somehow evil - red - hot - and weird A dangerous feeling - you never want it It turns you inside out Don’t know why I can’t beat it It feels like burning steel It sounds like grinding metal sheets Metal eater- it always gets you Metal eater - money eating murder slot machine - metal eater If you would know - how to stop But you’re hooked to the bandits for your life And as you see it - it’s better than to run But you’re deadwrong - it’s gonna kill ya It’s gonna smash you after all Don’t know why I can’t beat it It feels like burning steel It sounds like grinding metal sheets Metal eater - it always gets you Metal eater - money eating murder slot machine Don’t know why I can’t beat it It feels like burning steel It sounds like grinding metal sheets Metal eater - it always gets you Metal eater - money eating murder slot machine Metal eater - with a smile - it’s gonna kill ya Metal eater - money eating murder slot machine Metal eater - burning steel - it’s somehow evil Metal eater - no one stops the money eating murder slot machine
6. Protectors Of Terror
They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror
They're in the business of illusion
An empire built on pain
The Almighty's inquisition
They're a fire burning out of controll
A thousand years of praying
Of faith, morality
A thousand years of staying
Of terror in the name of cross
Will you pray - will you cry
Thou shalt not bear false witness
When brothers in faith
Turn to brothers in arms
Thou shalt not make unto thee
any graven images
How many more have to die
They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror
You pay for your salvation
You have to bend your knees in pain
No surrender to temptation
You're a slave to the eye of the Lord
Will you pray - will you cry
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy
God in vain
When brothers in faith
Turn to brothers in arms
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's oxen
How many more have to die
They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror
- they are protectors
They are protectors of terror
Fear not those who dare to treed
upon the ashes of the chosen ones
They will drink the spillage of the blood
Behind closed doors the darkest
one prepares his altar of death
They are protectors
- will you pray - will you cry
Of terror
- when brothers in faith turn
to brothers in arms
They are protectors
- hom many more have to die
Laws carved in stone are rewritten in blood
They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror
They are protectors of terror
- they are protectors
They are protectors of terror
7. Animal House
Morning is breaking with death on the street
Driving downtown in a red corvette
The daemons and satans are creeping around
LA nights are madhouse nights
The murderers- are heroes T
hey're speeding all over the town
And justice- is drunken
I'm tumbling upside down
I'm a madman
Living in an animal house
I'm a madman
Living in an animal house
Living in an animal house
Rockers in concert are serving the bible
Praying in public is getting a habit
For selling out everything seems to be right, oh yeah
The sunset is crowded with tramps passing out They're sleeping- in trash cans
There's witchcraft in everyone's eyes
Satans and daemons
All dressed up in suits and ties
I'm a madman
Living in an animal house I
'm a madman
Living in an animal house
Madman- going crazy- living in an animal house
I'm a madman...
8. Turn Me On
I can't wait to get you
Down on the dirty floor
I know it ain't a place
But come on and close the door
I'm coming down for pleasure
For headgames all night long
Yes, indeed I wanna have it now
All what you've gotta give
I'm coming to the point
Where I can't hold myself
You shouldn't hold it back
It has to be done
Please, turn me on - Turn me on - I can't hold it
Please, turn me on - Turn me on - I explode
Please, turn me on - Turn me on - I can't hold it
Please, turn me on - Turn me on - I explode
It would be good to do it in the nice way
But sorry I ain't got no time
I know you would like some light
But sorry here is no lamp
So please, don't stop the feeling
Please, come close to me
I've gotta feel your hand
To bring it to an end
I'm coming to the point
Where I can't hold myself
You shouldn't hold it back
It has to be done
Please, turn me on - Turn me on - I can't hold it
Please, turn me on - Turn me on - I explode
Please, turn me on - Turn me on - I can't hold it
Please, turn me on - Turn me on - I explode
Baby, that was a hot lick
But someone's banging the door
Believe me, I'm sorry to stop you
But I'm coming back for more
It was more than I could ask for
Sorry babe, I've gotta go
Guess there's more than two now
Who wants to break the door
Please babe, I've gotta go
You have been really good
I know you want some more
But what can I do, let's go ahead
I'm coming to the point
Where I can't hold myself
You shouldn't hold it back
It has to be done
Please, turn me on - Turn me on - I can't hold it
Please, turn me on - Turn me on - I explode
Please, turn me on - Turn me on - I can't hold it
Please, turn me on - Turn me on - I explode
9. Drum Solo
10. T.V. War
T.V. war is part of life
Entertaining and far, far away
What a story and how they fight
Let's gamble and guess who will win
Danger is nowhere
We still got the chance to switch off
Remote control and the guarantee
It's somewhere else
T.V. war - T.V. war
Bloodless but deadly and cruel
T.V. war - T.V. war
We are eating, while we're watching
People die on the screen
Toasted and roasted and scrambled and fried
We are greedy and pay
Information - in between
Missiles are in the air
You can hear them and see
They're already here
T.V. war - T.V. war
Bloodless but deadly and cruel
T.V. war - T.V. war
Oh, yeah !
According to informed sources
Of the defence ministry:
There is now confirmation
That enemy missiles have penetrated our airspace
Impact is estimated in a matter of minutes
Good evening !
T.V. war - T.V. war
Bloodless but deadly and cruel
T.V. war - T.V. war
Bloodless but deadly and cruel
T.V. war - T.V. war
11. No Limits
One life - never been a riddle
Black nights - live it to the max
It’s all extremely done
No way - to colonise the middle
Ride hard - desperadoes at your back
Under a blood red sun In this world - up to us
We stand or we fall - yeah
We got no limits - no hideaway
We got no limits - live today
We got no limits - the way to stay
We got no limits - no limits all the way
Gear up - life is what we make it
Rock hard - shaft it to the top
We’ve only just begun
Sun’s up - we’re gonna do some shakin’
Break out - we give it all we got
Make way ‘cause here we come
In this world we decide
To answer the call - yeah
We got no limits, ...
Power ‘n’ riches ‘n’ rank
Mean nothing at all
Render the game to the end
Once and for all - once and for all - yeah
We got no limits, ...
We got no limits - no hideaway
We got no limits - live today
We got no limits - the only way to stay
We got no limits
Ev’rybody live the life
12. Run If You Can
Run on up, run on down
Be a step ahead in time
Don't you stop to look in his eyes
He wants your soul, he wants your mind
He'll tear you apart
He'll rip you asunder
Stretch your mind, so look out
Hearts must break, hearts must bleed
When you heed the demon's call
Death is near, light is the speed
Flashing out "just kill them all"
Eat out your heart
Dark master of thunder
Lord of darkness and doubt
Run if you can, shake off the devil
Man, don't you pay with your life
Run if you can, deadly and evil
He's hell on earth and he's alive
Ooh, when it is all over
You've surrendered to the night
Out of the day, knowning no way
Deadly is the demon's night
All you know
Is a real world, real men
Love - what they need, it's gone
Run if you can, shake off the devil
Man, don't you pay with your life
Run if you can, deadly and evil
He's hell on earth and he's alive
Hearts must break, hearts must bleed
When you heed the demon's call
Death is near, light is the speed
Flashing out "just kill them all"
Eat out your heart
Dark master of thunder
Lord of darkness and doubt
Run if you can, shake off the devil
Man, don't you pay with your life
Run if you can, deadly and evil
He's hell on earth and he's alive
13. Winter Dreams
There's snow on the mountain
And fog in the street
Flickering candles in the room
Hear the church bell ring
See the children playing
I feel their pure delight
And the snow is falling
Taking me away
Cold winter nights - Cold winter dreams
Reflecting the sound of my heart
It's my taste of freedom
Cold winter nights - Cold winter dreams
Don't try to tear me apart - Cold winter dreams
Find myself in peace
Warn from underneath
Wish you would be here
In this magic scene
I've escaped from reality
Dancing in the snow
Cold blue sky gives me
The innocence I need
Cold winter nights - Cold winter dreams
Freezing the heat in my heart
It's my taste of freedom
Cold winter nights - Cold winter dreams
Chill me and tear me apart - Cold winter dreams
The world seems so clear
Like a wonderful diamond
Can't imagine there's meanness
Can't imagine one lie
But when I'm dead and gone
And snow's pouring down
I'm buried and covered
Peaceful under millions of stars
Cold winter nights - Cold winter dreams
Reflecting the sound of my heart
It's my taste of freedom
Cold winter nights - Cold winter dreams
Don't try to tear me apart - Cold winter dreams
14. In The Darkness
Why am I here now
What have I done
Running on empty
I got nowhere to run
Can't get an answer
Can't get it right
Just try to make it 'till the end of the night
Is there a way to avoid doing wrong
Lead me away from the darkness
Light up my day show me where I belong
Please don't leave me all alone in the darkness
Far in the distance
There is night, there is day
Sounds are waving nets of dismay
Sometimes I'm stuck in a shocking delay
Like in a slow motion movie
I'm reaching out for something to hold
Life slips away in the cold- in the cold
My heart is so cold- my heart is so cold
Why was I turned down
What's going on
I wish there was something that could have been done
How can I get there
Where is the light
How can I make it 'till the end of the night
How can I turn darkness to light
Leaving my fear in the darkness
Is there a way how can I overcome
My restless night's and my fear- and my fear In the darkness- in the darkness- in the darkness
