1. Prophet of Doom
Run, run, run for your lives
Swiftly take cover
We�re paying the price
The sun, the sun
The sun is falling down
I can hear is falling down
Oi can hear the people cry
I felt it, I see it
The end is drawing near
No one can stop what has begun
Prophet of doom, the end is coming soon
Hear the thunder, Thor�s thunder
Of doom�
Time, time
There is no time
To make is right
To see the light
Lies, lies
Those were all lies
So now we are fighting
Yes, we must fight
The earth is quaking
We are shaking
The end is drawing near
No one can pray
And make it go away
You feel it
You see it
The end is drawing new
No one can stop what has begun
Prophet of doom
Hear the thunder, Thor�s thunder
Of doom�
The earth is quaking
We are shaking
The end is drawing near
No one can pray
And make it go away
You feel it�
The end is drawing new
No one can stop what has begun
Prophets of doom, the end is coming soon
Hear the thunder, Thor�s thunder
Of doom�
2. Crucify
You really think
That you are clever
But you are quite insane
In hell your soul
Will burn forever
Bringing eternal pain
You tried to
Crucify me
I know you
Will never see.
Crucify me�
I�ll pot and end
To your blood letting
I�ll seize your evil reign
You�ll have no more
Money netting
The loser must be slain
You tried to
Crucify me
I know you
Will never see.
Crucify me�
3. Bad Reputation
Well, you must reap
What you have sown
You�re into deep
You�re standing alone
What you have done
Can�t be undone
Hear what they say
They�re talking about you
It�s time to pay
Pay for your dues
You must be strong
You know they are wrong
Enduring lies
They will die like flies
Wheather the storm
Always, above the norm
Just listen to them
Saying
You�ve got a bad reputation
Bad reputation
You�ve got a bad reputation
They�re quick to judge
And they drew first blood
They held a grudge
And dragged your name through the mud
What they have done
Can�t be undone
You sleep with the devil
They say you�ve been had
You�re living in peril
They say you�ve gon mad
They�re looking at you
Saying
You�ve got a bad reputation
Bad reputation
You�ve got a bad reputation
Bad reputation
Hit me with your best shot
Just do your worst
But ha, I�ve got the jackpot baby
And I�ll always be first
You�ve got a bad reputation
Bad reputation
You�re got a bad reputation
Bad reputation.
4. Catch 22
Well you�re damned if you do
You�re damned if you don�t
Catch 22
You�re so very close, yet so far
You gave your best shot
Still no cigar
Working your fingers down to the bone
Running with sinners, your life�s just on loan
Catch 22
They say you can
They say that you can�t
Catch 22
The limits the sky
But they lock you inside
You�re livin a lie
You�ll never know why
Workin your fingers down to the bone
Running with sinners, your life�s just a loan
Catch 22�
You think you will win
But you always lose
Catch 22
You think they�re so strong
They think they are so wise
You know they are wrong
They tread on thin ice
Working your fingers down to the bone
Running with sinners
Your life is just a loan
Catch 22�
You think you will win, but you always lose
Catch 22
They think the are so strong
They think they are so wise
You know they are wrong
Hey tread on thin ice
Workin you fingers, down to the bone
Running with sinners, your life is just a loan
Catch 22.
5. Masquerade
You never show yourself
You�re living in disguise
You keep on runnin
And you�ll run until you die
Someday you�ll realize
You made a great mistake
The devil in your eyes
You�re just a big fat fake
Break down the falls
Drop the false facade
Always in disguise
In the mask you made
Tryin to hide your eyes
In the masquerade
Why?
Yu can�t be running around
Hiding behind your mask
You can�t be shooting straight
Is that too much to ask
You played me for a fool
But the fool me for a fool
But the fool was always you
You tried to be so cool
But it was never true
Break down the falls
Drop the false façade
Always in disguise
In the mask you made
Tryin to hide your eyes
In the masquerade
Break down the falls
Drop the false façade
Always in disguise
In the mask you made
Tryin to hide your eyes
In the masquerade
Why?
6. Molto Arpeggiosa (instrumental)
7. Miracle of Life
I was old
When I was born
I was feeling cold
And my soul was torn
I walked alone
In solitude and sorrow
I�ve been shown
I can see tomorrow
Then I found you
And we were one
A new life found�
It�s a miracle of life
My life has been
A journey full of hop
And all I�ve seen
Is the end of my rope
We�ll I have lost
And I have won
Counting the cost
My faith was never gone
Then I found you
And we were one
A new life found�
It�s miracle of life
I�ve made the sacrifice
Lord knows I paid the price
A miracle of life
I always had a dream
But it�s never what it seems
A miracle of life
So it is time
We were meant to be
Always with you
Always with me
Then I found you
And we were one
A new life found�
It�s a miracle of life
Then I found you
And we were one
A new life found�
It�s a miracle of life.
8. The Wizard
Climb up the mountain
That reaches the sky
Up there�s a tower
A thousand mils high
There you must tress pass
Escaping his knights
In there dwells the wizard
His breath like a blizzard
Ancient incantation
Evil revelations
For thousand of years
They have been searching for him high and low
The wizard is here only to disappear
He hides from the world
In through the dungeons
Weapons are drawn
Passage in hiding
Dead before dawn
Master of witchcraft
Friend of the beast
Wisdom through tempest from the east
In there dwells the wizard
His face like a lizard
Ancient incantations
Evil revelations
For thousand of years
They have been searching for him high and low
The wizard is here only to bring you fear
He hides from the world
For thousands of years
They have been searching for him high and low
The wizard is here only to bring you fear
He hides from the world
The wizard.
9. Preludium (instrumental)
10. Wild One
Once upon a time
When I was younger
On a hell ride without brakes
Nothing in the world
Could still my hunger
No matter what the stakes
I was the viking
I saw the light
The force was rising
Shining bright
I was the soldier without faith
The black star�s glowing rage
Running wild
I was the wild one
Not a man, just a child
Running wild
I was the wild one
Wild, wild, wild on
Not a man, just a child
Running wild
Things were simple then
I had no worries
Never stopping for red lights
Invincible in mind
Speeding through lide
Just another barfight
I was the viking
I saw the light
The force was rising
Shining bright
I was the soldier without faith
The black star�s glowing rage
Running wild.
11. Tarot
I don�t know for sure
But I�ve been told
I have lived before
And I�ll live again
In a distant land
In the spirit realms
Not as the heathen in the north.
Tarot�
Is there a crystall ball
To enlighten me
Anythin at all
To make me see
What the future holds
What has been before
Like the seer from the east
Not as the heathen from the north.
Tarot�
Like the seer from the east
Not as the heathen from the north.
Tarot�
12. Instru-mental Institution(instrumental)
13. War to End All Wars
I�m ready for battle
I�m ready for war
Slaughtered like cattle
You sons of babylon�s whore
In a matter of time
Titans will clash
To put an end to your lies
And the world turns to ash
I must use the force
N the war to end all wars
War to end all wars
There is no castle
I can�t bring down
You will die faster
You fucking clown
In our complication
Someone must bend
My justification will come in the end
Must end this madness
I must use the force
I must cure this sadness
In the war to end all wars
I must use the force
In the war to end all wars
War to end all wars�
I must end this madness
I must use the force
I must cure this sadness
In the war to end all wars
I must use the force
In the war to end all wars.
14. Black Sheep of the Family
I walked down
That lonely road of life
Got my fair shar
Seen a different light
Well I tried so hard
So don�t you know I�ll always be
The black sheep of the family
Don�t you know I�ll always be
The black sheep of the family
Alright, I�ve got this car
It�s shinny and black
So don�t fuck with it
Or I�ll attack
And if it weren�t for bad luck, man
I wouldn�t have no luck at all
No, no luck at all
So don�t you know I�ll always be
The black sheep of the family.
