1. Sign of the Times
Politicians, War decisions
Are we killing the enemy
Prostitution, revolution
Getting high in the streets
Malnutrition on television
Is it something you wanted to see
Vulgar language, intoxication
Is getting the best of me
Front page headlines
It’s on the news
Giving you the blues...
Sign of the times
Well Satanism, realism
Burning the souls of the meek
Adultery, sex on T.V.
Controlling the way that we think
(bridge, chorus)
Hey man, do you wanna catch yourself
On the cover of a front page headline
You know they’re talkin’ about you
When they say it’s the sign, the sign
The sign of the times
Guaranteed front page headline
It’s the sign of the times
Well Heroism, terrorism
Socialism, well I’d like a little masochism
It’s the sign of the times
2. Death Row
Look around we’re the future
Every man, woman, thing, and child
We are made from the dust of the earth
We are tame but we live in the wild
A last generation
The end of the line
To some celebration
It will be here in time
Death Row
Like a thief in the night
There are those who want freedom
If you choose you will be
Many claim to be innocent
But many have yet to be saved
A mass population
A need for a war
Just a mind stimulation
And the end of the world
(chorus)
When it seems like the ending
And the time’s growing near
Just remember who saves you
From the evil and fear
The last generation
The end of the line
to some celebration
It will be here in time
(chorus)
Say Death, Death Row, Come and get me
3. Metal Knights
Turn up the lights
Break down the night with metal voices
There’s a feeling of all senses
With open hand you take command
Of those around you
Nothing seems to bother you here
Nothing’s gonna stop you, is that clear
When you were down
No one could help you stop from falling
And you just kept on crawling
But now you’re back, cut loose the slack
Of those around you
You don’t need them hangin’ around here
Nothing’s gonna stop you, is that clear
Turn off the lights
Break down the night with metal voices
You now control all your defenses
With open hand you take command
Of those around you
Nothing’s gonna stop you is that clear
All you have to conquer is your fear
You’re the metal knights
4. The Street
Time isn’t fair when no one is there
I’m drifting away from the sun
As I wake in a sweat, the thought of my death
Has me runnin’, from what I have done
Well life on the street, there’s nothing to eat
But the women who help you survive
You’ve got to keep in the love and the sin
The power to keep you alive
Fight for what is right, and if it’s wrong
I’ll do what I please
So if I’m low, don’t let me go
‘Cause you’ll never see me down on my knees
Street, life’s the street
You gotta fight for what you believe in
Street, life’s the street
You’ve go the power and you are the one
Hiding inside so no one can find
The anger of what’s in the past
I’m leaving the fear, you’ve got to make clear
You’re numbered, and you are the one
So forget all the rest, you know you’re the best
And nothing can take that away
So when life gets you down, just reach for the crown
You’re the king of life in the street, Yeah..
(chorus)
5. Beyond the Sign (of the Cross)
When you see us comin’, you know it’s your life
Once a boy and now a man
And you’re cut with the knife
Take a stand, the final command
And you’ve got what you need
At the sign of the cross you know that
You will never bleed
FIGHT
At the sign of the cross
KILL
Now that you got the fever
It’s in your mind
You take the world on one on one, you’ll win tonight
You’ll take them all and now
You’ve got them in your hand
At the sign of the cross you know that
You’re a popular man
Repeat verse 1
6. Cries in the Night
Abandoned Children, hungry mouths
A mother’s lost love screams and shouts
Daddy’s never here to see
The things that will become of me
Ladies of the evening call
Dealer, can you get me an 8-ball
Lifestyles spawning cold desires
Cannot cool the inner fire
Shameless, homeless hungry child
In the streets you were born to be wild
Eternal Torment,
Screams like cries in the night
Life of constant sorrow
Brings everlasting cries in the night
A boy becomes a man of hate
A prisoner of his mental state
Caring is not within his heart
He’s Learning how to play his part
Rejected by his family, disaster to society
Forgiven only from above
But he will never learn to love
(chorus)
7. Sick Society
Every day it’s the same
people everywhere are victimized, terrorized
Children steal for a meal
And they don’t give a damn what they do
‘Cause they learned it from you
It’s another day of hell for the ones
Who live in poverty
It’s not the only way
Liars, Killers, Master Thieves
All a part of a sick society
Religious wars, social whores
Wives in Washington are labelling you
Tell me who’s screwing who
T.V. soaps, kids on dope
Planet earth is at the end of the line
A sign of the times
It’s another day of hell
‘Cause we all could use some therapy
But there’s another way
Liars, Killers, Master Thieves
All a part of a sick society
8. AntiChrist
I sense a burning feeling tonight, electric light
Majestic kings of the earth will we fight tonight, or reunite
Prepare for war, send the young ones out to play
And right away
Just remember these things and you’ll be okay
I know I will, if you
Fight, Kill, Destroy
Murder, Cheat, and Lie
Victory is mine, I am the AntiChrist
Attack
And then the voices of angels fill the sky
God is alive!!
“You can run far away but you can’t hide”
Don’t listen to them!! If you
Fight, Kill. Destroy
Murder, Cheat, and Lie
Victory is mine, I am the AntiChrist
On the battle field they’re raging
And the sudden storm engages them
We will return
As the four walls are closing
And all of them knowing damn well
They will never return again
Repeat 1st verse
9. Armageddon
In the beginning, the many souls of man
were falling, they were falling
And then a light cracked open the sky,
and they heard someone calling, a voice was saying
How many times have I tried to keep you away from the lies
Now you’re near the end, and Armageddon
I give you the son in thy name
But many of you are still vain
Machines, destruction and tounge, yeah
In Armageddon
Hey twentieth century man, you spit on the land
And you’re crying, because you’re dying
I will give you the key to life
For thy children
Repeat chorus
And now the time has come, and you’ll see
When you die, you’ll fly, no more lies
You will find out in the end, when you see
Your soul has fallen
Repeat chorus
The time has come too near
No more of the fear
What do you say, Armageddon, today
It’s the start, but it’s the end of the world!!
10. You Won't Take Me Alive
11. Live My Life Again
12. Someone Is Watching Me
