1. King with the Axe
Like a viper
Your blood will flow upon his strike
Like all the others
Young and old alike
Time is running out
There’s no one left to hear you shout
Time is running out
Not who he used to be
The man behind the mystery
He’s coming at you
Full force
The king with the axe
He’s coming at you
Full force
The king with the axe
Like a buzz saw
He’s gonna cut you up on sight
You turn around and
There’s no chance left, loo late to fight
Time is running out
There’s no one left to hear you shout
Time is running out
Not who he used to be
The man behind the mystery
He’s coming at you
Full force
The king with the axe
He’s coming at you
Full force
The king with the axe
He’s coming at you
Full force
The king with the axe
He’s coming at you
Full force
The king with the axe
A bloody rampage
Merciless onslaught in the night
Another victim
The executioner’s delight
Time is running out
There’s no one left to hear you shout
Time is running out
Not who he used to be
The man behind the mystery
He’s coming at you
Full force
The king with the axe
He’s coming at you
Full force
The king with the axe
He’s gonna chop you down
2. Spit on Your Grave
Ruthless and evil lies that deceive
Meaningless virtues knee deep in greed
I am the master with the iron fist
I am the master no one knows exists
I am the master I'll take your life
I am the master I'll spit on your grave
Taking advantage guilty as sin
And into the cauldron where no one can win
Thrown down and stepped on and knifed in the back
Civilization is under attack.
3. Thrash 'til Death
We like it faster than lightning
We'll have it no other way
So fast that it can get frightening
Thrash it out day after day
Never enough satisfaction
Can't get the Marshall's past ten
Live in the heat of the action
Metal devides mice from men
No compromise we will thrash til' death
Feel the drums pounding like thunder
Guitar riffs cut through the air
Casting a spell you'll be under
Thrashing 'til death unaware
Metal will flow through your bloodstream
Take over your body and mind
You'll never stop your headbanging
Raising your fists to the sky
No compromise we will thrash 'til death
We like it faster than lightning
We'll have it no other way
So fast that it can get frightening
Thrash it out day after day
Never enough satisfaction
Can't get the Marshall's past ten
Live in the heat of the action
Metal devides mice from men
No compromise we will thrash 'til death
Thrash til' death!
4. Chained Up, Strapped Down
5. The Burning of Atlanta
The craving to ignite, reflects a glowing light
The fire in his eyes is bearing no disguise
Armed with an evil grin, that sparks the flame within
The pyromaniac will burn this town, ignoring all costs
[Chorus:]
Atlanta is burning down
Atlanta is burning down
Atlanta is burning down
Atlanta is burning down
Thousands will die
And there's no telling why
In his psychotic mind, his twisted thoughts unkind
No motive to this deed, he's of an evil breed
A killer to his grave, now who could ever save
The striker meets the match, the flames begin to catch
And he's gone
[Repeat chorus]
The culprit of the crime will not escape this time
Cause what he left behind, would be the proof they'd find
A tank of gasoline was proof...the guillotine.
6. Stirrin' the Cauldron
The moon is full one dark evil night
A blood curdling chill perilous fight
The fog is thick the clouds set in
A twist of fate a night of sin
The howl of the wolf a dark evil power
Creeps down your spine it's the witching hour
The minute you fall to the hands of the flame
Evil will take its course, it's all over
The wicked witch's mission is through
Once the bubbling brew has tasted you
The eye of newt and fang of bat
A pinch of this a pinch of that
An door lurks from burning skin
The spice of life the cauldron will win
The chanting is done devour your stew
Just don't turn your eyes or it'll devour you.
7. Respect the Dead
Ones your souls at rest
That's when you'll confess
Cut you down to size
Make you realize
That you not so tough
Say you've had enough
What it takes to learn
On the cross you'll burn
You must respect the dead
That's where your future lies
You must respect the dead
Or they'll rip out your eyes
When you in your tomb
You will meet with doom
Cause you've cursed the dead
Better left unsaid
You'll regret the days
That you've spit on graves
Now your time has come
You immortal scum.
8. Last Man Alive
Take a look to the sky for your pot of gold
You can hear every cloud story to be told
Listen close what is this
Not bird or plane
Could it be the H bomb fucking with your brain
Even if you'd seen it you never would believe it
Even in your sleep you would never dream it
The bomb is falling fast nothing's going to stop it
How will you know that you're the last man alive
All it takes just one touch over one, two, three
With a flick of a switch turn on World War 3
With a flash there will be no one left alive
Search the earth just to find worldwide homicide
Metal mass cuts the wind whistling through its course
Suddenly crashing down hits the ground full force
Aims to kill one and all bursting into flames
Only you're left alive no one left to blame.
9. Spit on Your Grave
Ruthless and evil lies that deceive
Meaningless virtues knee deep in greed
I am the master with the iron fist
I am the master no one knows exists
I am the master I'll take your life
I am the master I'll spit on your grave
Taking advantage guilty as sin
And into the cauldron where no one can win
Thrown down and stepped on and knifed in the back
Civilization is under attack.
10. Killing on Monroe Street
There’s a killing on Monroe Street
It happened right before my eyes
With deadly action
Come satisfaction
And you can hear the victims cries
Happens all the time
Every night and day
If you hang on Monroe Street
You might get blown away
Happens all the time
Every night and day
If you hang on Monroe Street
You might get blown away
There’s a riot
Down on Jackson
The raging angry mob you fear
Deadly axe licks
Double bass kicks
It’s an assault upon the ears
Happens all the time
Every night and day
If you hang on Monroe Street
You might get blown away
Happens all the time
Every night and day
If you hang on Monroe Street
You might get blown away
There’s a killing on Monroe Street
It happened right before my eyes
With deadly action
Come satisfaction
And you can hear the victims cries
Happens all the time
Every night and day
If you hang on Monroe Street
You might get blown away
Happens all the time
Every night and day
If you hang on Monroe Street
You might get blown away
11. Eternal Eyes
A bomb explodes in your head, it's one of those days
You should have stayed in bed, something's gone wrong
Nothing's gone right, eternal eyes will take you alive
It's a fact of life, it's a fact of death - eternal eyes
Are you dead or alive, can't get them out of your face
Can't get them out of your mind, you'll never escape
With two feet in your grave.
12. Respect the Dead
Ones your souls at rest
That's when you'll confess
Cut you down to size
Make you realize
That you not so tough
Say you've had enough
What it takes to learn
On the cross you'll burn
You must respect the dead
That's where your future lies
You must respect the dead
Or they'll rip out your eyes
When you in your tomb
You will meet with doom
Cause you've cursed the dead
Better left unsaid
You'll regret the days
That you've spit on graves
Now your time has come
You immortal scum.

15. Nailed to the Cross
With an evil life comes an evil fate
Only a question of time to open the gate
It's a fact that you're going to die
By tomorrow you'll be crucified
Nailed on, nailed to the cross
Nailed on, nailed to the cross
You stand erect no life left
Your soul's been robbed Lucifer’s theft
Consciousness loneliness at the top
Must confess but it's too late for them to stop
A frowning face falls from out of the sky
Spitting blood head of a demon from hell
And you're left without a soul to sell
Double cross, eternity in hell
Nailed on, nailed to the cross
Nailed on, nailed to the
You know that you're dead when you're nailed to the cross...
16. War Monger
Lurking in the astral skies lust, power, greed, hate
Leader of the fighting force face of black fate
2100 A.D. at this man's will
Power thrashing death brigade regroups to kill
Can't just ignore what's right bow to the power lord
Warmonger
Bombs are falling from above death metal storm
Dogfight of the modern day star wars take form
Starship shooting in and out amazing grace
To each man a battle star chasing through space
Obeying every order heard brainwashed by their leader's word
Kamikaze warriors aim for the sun
Taking off for outer space four, three, two, one
Retrorockets activate lifting the craft
Final sound the fighters hear warmonger laugh
All the troops have died at war bow to the power lord
Warmonger.
17. Message in Blood
Black act of injustice brought by the wizard of evil
Cast death and corruption who left the message in blood?
Death reign cleanse the earth it's the ageless night
The world's end is near wrong outnumbers right
What's left helter shelter look read between the lines
Can you find a meaning to these sinister crimes?
18. Nailed to the Cross
With an evil life comes an evil fate
Only a question of time to open the gate
It's a fact that you're going to die
By tomorrow you'll be crucified
Nailed on, nailed to the cross
Nailed on, nailed to the cross
You stand erect no life left
Your soul's been robbed Lucifer’s theft
Consciousness loneliness at the top
Must confess but it's too late for them to stop
A frowning face falls from out of the sky
Spitting blood head of a demon from hell
And you're left without a soul to sell
Double cross, eternity in hell
Nailed on, nailed to the cross
Nailed on, nailed to the
You know that you're dead when you're nailed to the cross...
19. Stagedive
Get on the go over and done plotting the plan of attack
It's time to fly over the stage high above each Marshall stack
Passing the guard making the move scale the P.A. to the top
End the first verse past the bass bins not fearing the 30 foot drop
Thrash to kill blood will spill
Now that you've met your match and nothing will suffice
Airborne offering thrashing sacrifice
Stealing the show eyes of the crowd focus of activity
Forty feet high moment of fame going down in history
Begin the flight splitting the smoke a swan dive into the sky
Tumbling down head over heels listening to cracking bones cry.
