1. Conjuration of the Watcher
On Sacred Ground
Standing there with Specters all around
Make no Sound
The Circle must be closed before you're found
Light the Light
Break the Seal, perform the Mystic Rite
Ancient Might
Your Blood will spill if you don't Conjure
Soon the Presence fills the Air all around
Waving Flaming Swords in Hand
An Ancient Being from a different Vanished Time
Scred Power Desert Sands
How He's watching now
Seeing them Burn
Watching the Flames taking them all
Megawatt Power Blazing through time
Watcher devours, lust in his mind
Candle Light
Playing tricks with Shadows in the Air
Don't despair
The Vision comes you climb the Sacred Stair
Through the door
Three steps beyond you lies the Magick Gate
Don't be late
The Hour has come for you to meet your fate
He's watching you and every move you make
Waving Flaming Swords in hand
An Ancient being from a different Vanished time
Sacred power brilliant mind
Now He's watching now
Seeing them Burn
Watching the flames taking them all
Megawatt Power Blazing through time
Watcher devours, lust in his mind
Now He's watching now
Seeing them Burn
Watching the flames taking them all
Giving you knowledge beyond the thrones
Black shooting stars the seven stones
2. Don't Say Goodbye (Tonight) (re-recorded)
There's danger, charging the air tonight
A feeling of hopeless despair
Oh my love it's not the first time
I've felt the tremors of hate
Jealousy is on the rise
I can see the snake in your eyes
The time has come for us to aim for the heart
I'm begging you
Don't say goodbye tonight love
Don't say goodbye to my love
Don't say goodbye I need you to stay
Lost, gone in an instant
An angry word, then the crash of the door
Oh, it's too late you're lost to the nightwind
The black sky cries out your name
And it seems like it's happened before
And it's bound to a thousand times more
When will we ever learn, learn how to love?
3. Rain of Fire
WE SUMMON THE SONS OF ANU,
SPIRITS OF LIVING FIRE!!!In the night we gather for the slaying of the beast
The chosen kings of fire summoned by the priests
lord give me strenght to crush my enemies
Their pain and their suffering will be music to my ears
RAIN OF FIRE - wash away my pain, wash away my fate
Let me rise up born again
RAIN OF FIRE - blood runs from the sky, I'm the lord of flies
On the wings of hate I rise
Soon it will be over abd we'll gather for the feast
Hear the weeping of their woman as they grovel at our feet
The gods have shown their favor, my victory is known
Your gods have proven false, your death is mine to own
RAIN OF FIRE - wash away my pain, wash away my tears
Let me rise up born again
RAIN OF FIRE - give power to my call, devouring their flesh
Purify as all - RAIN OF FIRE
Trample to dust in the fire of lust
With fire we slay all who stand in our way
A covenant bound in the world underground
We slash and we strike see your head on a spike
Once free and so brave, now your people are slaves, oh...
RAIN OF FIRE - the sons of Anu rise, the fields of blood are mine
On a burning horse I ride
RAIN OF FIRE - ravager of towns our covenant is bound
In your kingdom underground
RAIN OF FIRE - rape our enemies, burn their village bright
In a golden wall of light
RAIN OF FIRE - blood runs from the sky, the veils of death divide
And the crucified arise - RAIN OF FIRE!!!
4. Annihilation
Trample to dust all their remains
Leave no trace or sign at all
The Gods of the temple will recall my name
The Chosen Lord of Fire
5. Hellfire Woman
She'll bleed you dry
She'll leave you there to die
She'll cut you with a knife
She'll carve away your life
Yeah just like a wildcat
She'll scratch you with her claws
And if you try to leave her
She'll stab you in the back
HELLFIRE, HELLFIRE, HELLFIRE WOMAN
HELLFIRE, HELLFIRE, HELLFIRE WOMAN
Hell path no fury like a woman scorned!!!
She's the kind of woman
That's not hard to understand
She cracks the whip and she holds the upper hand
She'll bet ya, she'll mistreat ya
Make you quiver and quail
The female of the species is deadlier than the man
HELLFIRE, HELLFIRE, HELLFIRE WOMAN
HELLFIRE, HELLFIRE, HELLFIRE WOMAN
Hell path no fury like a woman scorned!!!
I know she's a demon but she answers to the name of woman
Creature schooles in a dark desires and evil
I jst be strong to resist this succubus
Floating in orgies of passion
She is my Goddess and I AM HER GOD
On raven wings she glides into my bed
Nocturnal rites, fear and passion wed
Forbidden reason far below the sea
Salvation shines from your divinity
HELLFIRE, HELLFIRE, HELLFIRE WOMAN
HELLFIRE, HELLFIRE, HELLFIRE WOMAN
Hell path no fury like a woman scorned!!!
HELLFIRE WOMAN
HELLFIRE, HELLFIRE, HELLFIRE WOMAN
FIRE, HELLFIRE, HELLFIRE WOMAN...OH WOMAN
Oh take it away!!!
The beauty of the sin, oh...
Damnation...HELLFIRE WOMAN
Blood, blood at the gates of hell
Lover, virgin, demon, whore
Dark pagan queen...demon, whore
6. Children of the Storm (re-recorded)
Forge in Fire, tempered in STEEL,
CHILDREN OF THE STORM
Never Kneel !!!
Tear down the Walls!
Break the chain !The wicked wind is howling and it's screaming out my name
Above the ring of fire, the necromancer reigns
With thunder and lightning, he enforces his command
Of evil, lust and violence, destruction rules the landCHILDREN OF THE STORM, on
and on we run
CHILDREN OF THE STORM trying to find the sun
With wrathful hearts we've scaled the fortress
Whose summits reach the sky
In vain we roared and were defeated
His majesty reigns high
Weeping and wailing, another maiden dies
In the wind and ice we gather to blast this Demon from the sky
CHILDREN OF THE STORM, on and on we run
CHILDREN OF THE STORM trying to find the sun
Shadows fly past, but the Black Knight holds fast
And I'll trust in the strength of my song
Over the edge went the dark flame of dread,
And it's all in the strength of my hand
CHILDREN OF THE STORM, on and on we run
CHILDREN OF THE STORM trying to find the sun
CHILDREN OF THE STORM, on and on we run
CHILDREN OF THE STORM trying to find the sun
Keep on your guard, trust in the Sword, face,
face the flames... FACE THE FLAMES!!!
7. The Chosen Ones
Marching across the desert sands
Condemned to drift from land to land
No food or water or heaven's rain
So many tears and so much pain
It's a long road the nights are so cold
A thousand miles from my home
Now the wasteland becomes our homeland
There is no peace for those who roam...roam
They call them the CHOSEN ONES
But that's just a lie
They call them the CHOSEN ONES
Yet so many die
If they're the CHOSEN ONES
Under the sky
Who made them the CHOSEN ONES
To suffer and die
Only the pain here now is real...so real
Swords and arrows cannot defame
When they invoke thy masters name
The north star beckons beyond the gate
To live in strife is their only fate...oh
A thousand miles but I still roam....still I roam!!!
A promise foretold, the armies can't hold
The burning secrets on the scroll...still I roam...burn!
They call them the CHOSEN ONES
But that's just a lie
They call them the CHOSEN ONES
Yet so many die
If they're the CHOSEN ONES
Under the sky
Why must these CHOSEN ONES
Suffer and die...
Only the pain here now is real...march!
A million miles away
Oh...my god why have you forsaken me
Oh...we'll never understand
They call them the CHOSEN ONES
But that's just a lie
They call them the CHOSEN ONES
Yet so many die
If they're the CHOSEN ONES
Under the sky
Who made them the CHOSEN ONES
To suffer and die...
Only the pain here now is real...march! march!
(Across the desert...burning sand...black sun...no rain...
Burning in the sand...burn)
Only the pain, only the pain, omly the pain keeps us alive
The pain, the pain keeps us Alive!!!
We'll never understand...
8. The Succubus
Evil walks tonight
Unholy terror kills the light
Phantom furies whrl
Like a plague above the world
Seductive demons breathe
Writhing lust they take your seed
They're the daughter's of despair
A SUCCUBUS is here
Black night...in lust descending
Black night...they bring the devil's rain
Feasting on your flesh
They come in different forms
From a lovely nymphet girl
To a beast with scaly horns
Desire turns to greed
Your loins ache for release
Like pollen and the bees
You perpetuate the creed
Black night...in lust descending
Black night...they bring the devil's rain
THE SUCCUBUS lives on your blood and your seed
A vision of hell she delights when you bleed
Desire is torture like thirst without water
So just beware of the girl...in your bed
Believe!!!
9. Minuet in G Minor (re-recorded)
10. The Redeemer (re-recorded)
All rise, face the light!

11. I Am the One (re-recorded)
This evening a star did fall and the sky was all ablaze
It was a sign for me to gather Wings and fly, to fly
The Angels are all crying now for the one that was so fair
They fear that she has fallen, oh no, oh no... oh...
Riding like the rainbow, tearing 'cross the sky
Like the roar of thunder, I'm never gonna die
I've been here before, I'll return again
I'm the one who lights the way
The fire of hatred, the heat of the sun
I am upon you, I AM THE ONE
A choir of angels, get ready to run
I am upon you, I AM THE ONE!
I'm the sound of anger, a cannon in the wind
I'm the great avenger, you'll pay for your sins
You can run for cover, but I'll get you anyway
I'm the one who lights the way
The fire of hatred, the heat of the sun
I am upon you, I AM THE ONE
A choir of angels, get ready to run
I am upon you, I AM THE ONE!
Riding like the rainbow, tearing cross the sky
I'm never ever, ever, ever gonna die
Oh racing with the shadows
Screaming in the night
I'm the one who lights the way
The fire of hatred, the heat of the sun
I am upon you, I AM THE ONE
A choir of angels, get ready to run
I am upon you, I AM THE ONE!
12. Hot and Wild (re-recorded)
White hot, white heat
We're gonna blind your eyes
Like a supernova one step closer
We'll leave you hypnotized
A fast guitar, a stage and some action!
A burning heart for you...yeah!
HOT & WILD tonight
Electric Lions stealing the spotlight
HOT & WILD tonight yeah
Ooh, oh, here she comes
I know she's comin for me
She's a fox in leather, whiskey & feathers
The joys and venus are free
Pour the wine in the cup of the future
And raise your glass for today!
HOT & WILD tonight
Electric Lions stealing the spotlight
HOT & WILD tonight yeah
HOT & WILD tonight...hot & wild, wild, ahhh let's go!
Pour the wine in the cup of the future
And raise your glass for today!!!
HOT & WILD tonight
Electric Lions stealing the spotlight
HOT & WILD tonight yeah
HOT & WILD tonight!!!
13. Birth Through Fire (re-recorded)
14. Guardians of the Flame (re-recorded)
When the winds of ice are raging
And the sun departs for night
There's a thousand eyes upon you
But no one sees your plight
Oh no mercy hath the darkness
No love or heavens rain
You can feel the sound of anguish
Hear the cries of screaming pain
We are the GUARDIANS OF THE FLAME
Masters of the ancient rites
Our duty was ordained
To protect the realm of light
If you cross the gates of wisdom
Beware of the outer sign
Here the wolves of war are feasting
And on who knows what they dine!
Oh if your courage doth forsake you
Invoke thy masters name
We come with swords of fire
To banish the profane
Oh, we are the ones who check the forces of evil
Flames fly from our hands to engulf
The bastard called sin
War, rains through the skies
Our wrath shakes the pillars of heaven, now
The jackal is slain, fountains of blood drench the land
Come light up the torch, we have returned victorious
All's well in the world tonight
Sweet dreams from the palace of light
Sleep well, my children
15. The Final Days
Nuclear waste, a can of mace
A mind is a terrible thing to waste
Virtual living, video sex
A voice keeps saying, "this is only a test" (only a test)
Online, out of time, TV crime
Hey, what's your sign
Thrash, trash Seattle fools
LA's out and New York rules!
This is a world gone crazy
This is a world gone mad
The end is drawing nearer
These are the FINAL DAYS!!! THE FINAL DAYS!!!
Prime time, teenage crime
Too many 12 year olds doing time
Drug dealers in the hall
Phony gangsters in the mall (I'm sick of it)
Aids, clones, cell phones
Can anyone tell me where is home!!! (where is it)
Prophets of doom, talk show goons
Did someone say, "he's coming soon"
This is a world gone crazy
This is a world gone mad
The end is drawing nearer
These are the FINAL DAYS!!!
Hollywood stars, cheap guitars
A headless body in a topless bar
Elephant bones, ice cream cones
Can't we all just get along, get along...
Dead rappers in the news
15 years olds with nothing to loose
Crowded jails, love for sale
Can't touch me, I'm out on bail...
(Don't fuck with me) THE FINAL DAYS!!!
Shock jocks, channel blocks
If you don't like my face hey suck my cock
Blown up airlines in the sky
Can anybody tell us the reason why
Dream date, procreate
Why don't you fucking masturbate
Lap dancer, radical cancer
I wish I did but I don't have the answer!
This is a world gone crazy
This is a world gone mad
The end is drawing nearer
These are the FINAL DAYS!!!
16. A Cry in the Night (re-recorded acoustic version)
A cry in the night I'm still hearing
No my love is gone I must be dreaming
Lost in the mist of passions strange
Wiping the tears I recall the pain
Of love and laughter, joy now slain
When your world turns cold won't you call my name
Come on
Cry out in the dark
I'll be by your side to give you warmth
And light and shield you from the night
Hold on, hold on, we'll fan the flames of love
Together again, just you and I
I watched the faces in the fire
No emotion was ever there
If this is truth then who's the liar?
Your eyes are blind, they don't love you
You're just an amusement, thought of with disdain
But I'm still waiting, won't you call my name
You say your heart is open to loves
Call and you can't refuse it's refrain
But you don't hear the real sirens song
Echoing it's refrain, my love still remains so
