1. Metal On Metal

Metal on metal
It's what I crave
The louder the better
I'll turn in my grave

Metal on metal
Ears start to bleed
Cranking it up
Fulfilling my need

Metal on metal
Shakin the place
Blows back your hair
Caves in your face

Metal on metal
Feeling the grind
Up go the hammers
A victim to find

Metal on metal
Heads start to bang
Denim and leathers
Chains that clang

Keep on rockin
Keep on rockin
To this metal tonight
Keep on pounding
Keep on pounding
Join the heavy metal fight

Metal on metal
Gets you so high
Excitement and action
Won't pass you by

Metal on metal
The hardened breed
True to the end
A fire to feed

Metal on metal
Heat starts to rise
Kickin it out
With screams and cries

Metal on metal Never will die
Parties and concerts
Keep it alive

Metal on metal
It's the only way
To hell with tomorrow
Let's live for today




2. Smokin' Green

Smokin'!
Every waking moment of every single day
I roll a big fat joint to get me on my way
It changes my outlook, you know it sets me right
Oh how I love it for showing me the light

It's so cool It's my school I ain't no fool.
Smokin' green, smokin' green
Under the influence I've been

When I'm feeling shitty, I mean really feeling down
You never have to worry when there's tons of green in town
It's become a habit, a habit till the end
I can't but have it, have it as a friend

Every waking moment of every bloody day
I roll a big fat joint to get me on my way
Some people think it's evil, they just can't conceive
It's all a matter of taste and what you believe

Smokin' green, smokin' green
Under the influence I've been




3. Winged Assassins

Machines made for killing at mach speed and more
Sleek in design and loaded for war
Sidewinding missiles, heat-seeks and sparrows
Strafing squadrons cause havoc and terror

Winged Assassins - Seek their prey

Camouflage colours impair observation
Insignia painted depicting its nation
Defying detection at low altitude
Penetrate, attack, evade and elude

Soaring death - Taking lives
No escape - Widows weep

Winged Assassins - Seek their prey

Radar is sweeping and scanning the skies
Searching out targets with infrared eyes
Enemy forces appear on the screen
Computers lock in, all systems are green

Formation - Orders, permission to arm
Closing in - To make the kill

Trigger in hand, blood lust in his heart
The pilot is ready to play out his part
Underwing stores await a demand
Releasing the arsenal upon his command

Soaring death - Taking lives
No escape - Widows weep

Permission is given to unleash the power
Rockets home in, strike and devour
Wreckage falls helpless rolling in flames
Another life wasted in some general's games

Task complete - Honours awaiting heroes
Painted scrap - Awarding murder

Winged Assassins - Seek their prey




4. Free As The Wind

Running wild crazy and free
Being anything I want to be
Got no time for hanging around
Ain't nobody gonna tie me down
Spend my time doing what I please
Take the world on, got 'em on their knees
People think that I'm no good
Won't do the things they think I should

Life's confusing me and messin' me around
Don't know if I'm ever coming down
Got to get your mind out of my head
Leave me alone and live your life instead

Play my music way too loud
My hair's too long, I don't fit in the crowd
Leather jacket and denim jeans
Metal studs run down the seams
Times are hard but I don't care
'Cause if I want it I'll take my share
Talkin' life on a bit too steep
Outta my way or I'll bury you deep

Gotta stop pushin' shovin' me around
Gotta stop tryin' to put me down
Got to get your mind out of my head
Leave me alone and live your life instead

Lotta people got a lot to say
But I'm doing things my own way
'Cause I'm free as the wind

Maybe someday they will understand
Just why I choose to be my own man
It doesn't matter I ain't gonna change
The master plan should be rearranged
Breaking rules is what I do
On the bad side it's a better view
If it's too loud then you're too old
Get the hell out 'cause you've been told

Gotta stop pushin' shovin' me around
Gotta stop tryin' to put me down
Got to get your mind out of my head
Leave me alone and live your life instead

Lotta people got a lot to say
But I'm doing things my own way
'Cause I'm free as the wind




5. Old School

Nowadays it's just not the same
Now they're playing a different game
I love to think about the things I miss
Sometimes I just like to reminisce

Looking back - with no regret
Stay on track - I won't forget, I won't forget

Old school - embracing the past
Old school - only good things last

Innocence and sentiment
Are in permanent retirement

Stay on track - with no regret, I won't forget

It's not that I like to live in the past
But some things just don't last
I remember how it used to be
I use the past to influence me

Looking back - with no regret
Stay on track - I won't forget, I won't forget




6. Bushpig

Watch me drive my bushpig
Watch me part the pines
Four by four couldn't take more
Any hill to climb
Drive her with a split shift
Drive her up a tree
My desert dog's a big fat hog
When you drive with me

Put her into overdrive
Put her in the ditch
My skid plate sure works great
When I use my winch
Fast and clean
Raw and mean

Love my bushpig, drive her everyday
Love my bushpig, gotta have my way

Ride her through the deep dark woods
Ride through all terrain
Chuggin' and crawlin' ain't no stalling
With my cleveland power train
Crank it with her mudders
Crank it double time
If you can't find it you can grind it
Fourwheelin' ain't no crime
Turn up the dirt
Down with her skirt
Takin' the hill
Just for the thrill

Love my bushpig, when I have my way

Ain't nothing like this big fat pig
There's nothing she won't do
She'll do it fast and make it last
And won't be through with you
Take you where you wanna go
Anytime of day
Between the blanket hot to spank it
That's all I've gotta say
Fast and clean
Raw and mean

Love my bushpig, do it everyday
Love my bushpig, when I have my way




7. Blood On The Ice

Slap shot sucker shot
Down on your knees
Skate to the face
You're gouged and you bleed
Tussle and muscle
Flare like a rocket
Goon squad hired hit
A buck in the pocket

Blood on the ice
Blood on the ice

Puck shy, black eye
Jam in the corner
Tangled up, beat up
A body for the coroner

Blood on the ice

Pile up, punch out
In the end zone
Puck in the mouth
The sound of crushed bone

Blood on the ice
Blood on the ice
Blood on the ice

Shoot to score
Fight to kill
Play to win
Cheer for more

Rookie rabbit punches
Blow to blow
Duck and punch, dance
Toe to toe
Face off, square off
Cross check to the jaw
High stick, end butt
You wanna break the law

Blood on the ice
Blood on the ice
Pounding way to win the fight
Blood on the ice
Black and blue; red on white




8. March Of The Crabs (instrumental)




9. Jackhammer

Slip away out the back door
Get away from the scenery score
In the car you're ready to move
In the backseat you start to groove

Right turn left turn got the boys in both hands
Playin in stereo like you do with most bands

Unlocking the door
I can tell you can't wait
Seekin power rockin
Girl you love to vibrate

Can't get to sleep 'cause I hear you squealin
Like a stuck little pig you love the feelin
I wish you'd shut up 'cause I'm tryin to sleep
I'm gonna gag you gonna push it down deep

Running out of breath
You're chokin fast
You begin to sputter
You're not gonna last

Jackhammer pounding your pile
Jackhammer you're gonna cream
Jackhammer that's your style
Jackhammer you're gonna scream

There you go again with your dirty little mind
Trying to turn me on won't happen this time
Hangin around and that won't do
Nothing on my mind but gettin rid of you

Time for you to leave
Can't take no more
Just wanna see you
Walking out the door




10. Speed Of Sound

Turbine starts, engines whine
Rocket fire, you know it s blast off time
Burning fuel, deadly tool
Break the sky, shock wave blast, ripping fast

The speed of sound, speed of sound
The speed of sound, speed of sound

Sonic boom, machine of doom
The power to fly, bird s eye view,climbing to

[Chorus:]
The speed of sound, speed of sound
The speed of sound, speed of sound
The speed of sound, speed of sound
The speed of sound, speed of sound

High speed flight, vapour trail
Thunderous thrust, hear the engine s wail
After burn, no return
The angel s cry, searing speed, the power to exceed

[Chorus 2X]




11. 666

Chains of death have been unleashed
Ripped and tattered stricken from hell
Sold my soul but the contract's been breached
Entering humanity from death's well

Your fate is sealed revelation is near
I hear your screams but I thrive off your fear
Received my warning but you didn't, didn't, didn't learn

666
666

Make my wars in the minds of man
Make the being itself fulfil my cause
Hitler and Manson were my right hand
To these men I entrusted my sacred laws

I'd rather be a king below than a servant above
I'd rather be free and hate than a prisoner of love
You heard my warning but you didn't, didn't, didn't learn

666




12. Stolen




13. Paper General




14. Forged In Fire (live)

Scraping the Earth in search of the essence
Metallic rock ore where iron is present
Extraction smelters burn hot with phosphorescence

Rivulets of sweat steam hot in the mold
Splashes in magenta, yellow and gold
Glowing sparks flashing too hot to hold

Made for pounding a massive weight
Forming metal, willing fate

Power blasted streams engage the injection
The mechanism reacts with affection
Processing starts and so begins infection

Altered shape, affected matter
Giving form, an ominous factor
Never break it, it will never bend
The Anvil was Forged In Fire

Made for pounding a massive weight
Forming metal, willing fate




15. School Love

Out in the school yard little Peaches play
Rubbing their beaves, they got a lot to say
Never doing work, teachers are mad
Really don't care 'cause they're never sad
Little school Peaches take a word from me
Got to do your work and that's the way to be

School Love
School Love

Caught in the can having some fun
Teachers on the prowl now you gotta run
Underneath the stairs safety for awhile
Feeling each other 'cause that's your style
Now that you are caught, caught in the act
Gonna be strapped and that's a fact

Keeping you apart, watching all the time
Punishment is due for a lover's crime
All you little girls have a lot to fear
Knowing your principal is so near
Doing it again, breaking all the rules
Teachers are coming, they're no bunch of fools




16. Motormount

You've tried them all from big to small
But no one's turned your crank
You're here tonight to get done right
I'm gonna fill your tank
Pull in the bay it's your lucky day
Get up on the hoist
From underneath we'll tool and grease
Gonna get you moist

What I see just can't be
Have to work you overtime
Gonna line you up and prime you up
Make you run so fine
Lift the hood if you know what's good
I wanna spark the gap
Fuel injection - no infection
Clean right to the cap

Ride the clutch Motormount
Drive all night
Grind the gears Motormount
Hold on tight

Motormount (drive all night)
Motormount (drive all night)

Dip my wrench into your stench
And twist the nuts up tight
Anticipate, Accelerate
And torque with all my might

Manifold - Got to hold
Transmission - Hydraulic spin

High speed ride - Power Glide
Can't survive overdrive

Pistons screaming, Rings are seizing
Think your valves are gone
Start to tire, then backfire
No longer can go on

Overheating - you're peaking
Start steamin' - watch you blow

High speed ride - Power Glide
Can't survive overdrive

Motormount (drive all night)




17. Doctor Kevorkian

Final Anaesthetic
From an outlaw medic
Permanent anaesthesia
Case of Euthanasia
Terminally ill
Making your will

Meet your destiny
Die with dignity
Doctor Kevorkian, Doctor Death
Doctor Kevorkian, Doctor Death

Clinical observation
Untimely termination
Unlawful act
Everlasting fact
Breathing in the gas
Death comes fast




18. Mothra

In a small town outside of destiny
The legend lives on yet it lives free
That night the mountains glowed with fiery rage
From the darkness of hell out she came

Comin' to get you!! You can't escape
You're gonna die, you wonder why??!!

Might wings beat out thunderous gusts of wind
Megatron eyes explode in the skies, it begins!
Talons like razors are shredding your bones to pieces
Is this a dream or is God's telling you it's over?

Mothra, Mothra, Mothra

Buildings are falling, black death is above you
You can't run there's nowhere to go
Rubble and stone block your path
You can't escape from it's wrath

Hot flashes burst, melting down civilization
Leaving destruction and desolation
You're still alive but your luck is running out
It's not a dream God's told you it's over
It's over!!!

What can we do?
A creature of the night
Are we through?
Will this be our plight
Please save us. please
What did we wrong to you?
This holocaust is killing all of us

I've sent this beast to purify your kind
And for your world leave no life behind

Conquest complete, Mothra is nesting
Population for future infesting
Purification yes it's been achieved
For eternity Mothra reigns supreme
