1. The Hellion/Electric Eye

Up here in space
I'm looking down on you
My lasers trace
Everything you do

You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time

I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye

Always in focus
You can't feel my stare
I zoom into you
You don't know I'm there

I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove

I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye

Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
There's nothing you can do about it
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows

I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye
I'm elected electric spy
I'm elected protective, detective, Electric Eye




2. Metal Gods

We've taken too much for granted
And all the time it had grown
From the techno seeds we first planted
Evolved a mind of its' own

Marching in the streets
Dragging iron feet
Laser beaming hearts
Ripping men apart

From off I've seen my perfection
Where we could do as we please
In secrecy this infection
Was speading like a disease

Hiding underground
Knowing we'd be found
Caring for our lives
Reaped by robots scythes

Metal Gods, Metal Gods
Metal Gods, metal Gods

Machines are taking all over
With mankind in their command
In time they'd like to discover
How they can make their demand

Better be the slaves
To their wicked ways
But meeting with our death
Engulfed in molten breath




3. Riding on the Wind

Shooting for the stars
Cruise the speed of light
Glowin god of Mars
Body burning bright

Well I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind
Yes I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind

Tearing up through life
Million miles an hour
Blinding all in sight
Surging rush of power

Well I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind
Yes I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind

Ridin' on the wind! Ridin' on the wind!
Ridin' on the wind! RIDING ON THE WIND!

Thunderbolt from hell
Shattering aloud
Screamin' demons yell
Bursting through the clouds

Well I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind
Yes I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind




4. The Ripper

You're in for surprise
You're in for a shock, ahh
In London town streets
When there's darkness and fog
When you least expect me
And you turn your back
I'll attack

I smile when I'm sneaking
Through shadows by the wall
I laugh when I'm creeping
But you won't hear me at all

All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper

You'll soon shake with fear
Never knowing if I'm near
I'm sly and I'm shameless, nocturnal and nameless
Except for the ripper
Or if you like "Jack the knife"

Any back alley street
Is where we'll probably meet
Underneath a gas lamp
Where the air's cold and damp

I'm a nasty surprise
I'm a devil in disguise
I'm a footstep at night
I'm a scream of the fright

All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper
The ripper
The ripper




5. A Touch of Evil

You mesmerise slowly
Till I can't believe my eyes
Ecstasy controls me
What you give just serves me right

Without warning you're here
Like magic you appear
I taste the fear

I'm so afraid
But I still feed the flame

In the night
Come to me
You know I want your Touch of Evil
In the night
Please set me free
I can't resist a Touch of Evil

Aroused with desire
You put me in a trance
A vision of fire
I never had a chance

A dark angel of sin
Preying deep from within
Come take me in

I'm so afraid
But I still feed the flame

In the night
Come to me
You know I want your Touch of Evil
In the night
Please set me free
I can't resist a Touch of Evil

Arousing me now with a sense of desire
Possessing my soul till my body's on fire

A dark angel of sin
Preying deep from within
Come take me in

I'm so afraid
But I still feed the flame

You're possessing me




6. Judas Rising

White bolts of lightning
Came out of nowhere
Blinded the darkness
Creating the storm

War in the heavens
Vengeance ignited
torment and tempest
attacks like a swarm
Forged out of flame from chaos to destiny
Bringer of pain forever undying

Judas is Rising

Eternal betrayer
ice cold and evil
Taking no prisoners
dark prince of the world

Humanity trembles
enslaving you sinners
You can't beg for mercy
For none will be saved

The burden of shame
Echos the prophecy
Ascending from Hell
Forever despising

Judas is Rising

Apprentice revealed
Deceivers are crying
My crucified steel
Evangelizing

Judas is Rising
Judas is Rising




7. Revolution

If you think it's over, better think again
There'll be no compromise
Time to hit the power, feel adrenaline
Move into overdrive

Here comes the revolution
Time for retribution

If you think I'll back down or accept defeat
Brace for the aftershock
Take it to the limits, take it to the streets
Give it everything you've got

Time to come together
Revolution
Living on forever
Revolution

Get ready for the revolution

It's a revolution
It's a retribution

Something's in the air
Time to change, it's time to change

You better watch out tonight
You better watch out for the revolution

Bring it down, bring it down




8. Hot Rockin'

I've done my share of workin' out.
I wanna go some place, where I can scream and shout.
Show me the lights, where I can find
The only thing I need to give me peace of mind!

I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go Hot Rockin'

Where is the spark that kicks the air?
Where is the energy that charges everywhere?
I see the crowd, I hear the roar!
I feel my body to leave the ground and soar!

I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go Hot Rockin'!

I'm goin' out in search of the bright lights.
Somehow I feel that tonight is the right night!
I'm almost there, I've got the vibration.
It's coming strong from this generation.
My blood is hot, from now on I'm set free!
My pulse is hot, so don't try to stop me!
Cuz this is it, and I'm Hot Rockin'!

Don't let it stop, don't let it end,
Please let it carry on and on and on again.
I get so high. Knocked off my feet, yeah!
This is the only way I want, I want, I want

I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go Hot Rockin'!

It's all I want, it's all I crave
I just do want to go Hot Rockin'!




9. Breaking the Law

There I was completely wasting
Out of work and down
All inside it's so frustrating
As I drift from town to town
Feel as though nobody cares if I live or die
So I might as well begin
To put some action in my life

Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law

So much for the golden future
I can't even start
I've had every promise broken
There's anger in my heart
You don't know what it's like
You don't have a clue
If you did you'd find yourselves
Doing the same thing too

Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law

You don't know what it's like

Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law
Breaking the law




10. I'm A Rocker

The greatest times, I've ever known
They're locked inside o' me
And carved out of stone

I've broken hearts
Made people sing
I've drove a million miles
I've done everything

I'm a rocker, Oh oh
Do as I feel as I say
I'm a rocker, Oh oh
And no one can take that away

Bring on the night
That's when I live
I come alive inside
Give all I can give

I live each day
Like it's my last
I live for rock and roll
I never look back

I'm a rocker, Oh oh
Do as I feel as I say
I'm a rocker, Oh oh
And no one can take that away

I'm a rocker
And I'm always revvin' up
I'm a rocker
I can never get enough
I'm a rocker
It's something in my blood
I'm a rocker
Wouldn't change it even if I could

I'm a rocker, Oh oh
Do as I feel as I say
I'm a rocker, Oh oh
And no one can take that away




11. Diamonds and Rust

I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual, it's just that the moon is full
And here I sit, hand on the telephone
Hearing the voice I'd known, a couple of light-years ago
Heading straight for a fall

But we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around
And snow in your hair
Now we're smiling out the window of a crummy hotel
Over Washington Square

Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me
We both could've died then and there

Now you're telling me, you're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You were so good with words
And at keeping things vague

Cause I need some of that vagueness now
It's call come back too dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust
I've already paid

But we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Diamonds, diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust




12. Worth Fighting For

You said I could never find
a way to ease your mind
but where I go you wind up in the dust

I tried so hard to have you reach
another side of me
Instead you went to nowhere and forgot

So I wander on
asking where you might have gone
from what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for

Desert heat can wear ya down
but still I'm rolling through
Did I see your figure in the haze

I am driven by a thirst
to quench myself of love
The sun beats on me
for the price I pay

So I wander on
Asking where you might have gone
from what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for
yeah

Night road leads me to a town
I'm beckoned by the glow of jealousy
and tumble weed

They're calling out, calling out
Forever more
worth fighting for

I'm living in the wind
and bow down from what I saw
my shadow for a friend
still some things are worth fighting for

So I wander on
Asking where you might have gone
from what I knew before
Some things are worth fighting for
yeah




13. Deal with the Devil

Forged in the black country
Under blood red skies
We all had our dream to realize

Driving in the transit
Down to Holy Joe's
Used to lose our head
While metal flowed

Nothing held us back or dared to try
Something in our blood
Won't let us die

We watched our world of metal
Watched it grow
Fueled the fury solid to the bone

Gotta deal with the devil
Cause you know that it's real
Done a deal with the devil
From a heart made of steel

Rollin' down the M-Way
Took it to the smoke
Bangin' heads there
'Til we all went broke

When we don the leather
And the whips and chains
Nothing matters more
We can't be tamed

Fighting through the din and accolades
Turn the phase around with razorblades

Watched the movement grow
Into one voice
Took on all the world
It had no choice

Gotta deal with the devil
Cause you know that it's real
Done a deal with the devil
From a heart made of stee




14. Beyond the Realms of Death

He had enough
He couldn't take anymore
He'd found a place
In his mind and slammed the door
No matter how they tried
They couldn't understand
They washed and dressed him
Fed him by hand

Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you

Withdrawn he'd sit there
Stare blank into space
No sign of life
Would flicker on his face
Until one day he smiled
It seemed as though with pride
The wind kissed him
Goodbye - and then he died

Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you

Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for livin' in
Yeah! I will start again
It can take forever, and ever, and ever
And ever, but I'll still win

How many like him
Are there still
But to us, all
Seem to have lost the will
They lie in thousands
Plagued and lost
Is nothing worth this bitter cost

Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you
Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for livin' in

Beyond the realms of death




15. Turbo Lover

You won't hear me, But you'll feel me
Without warning, somethings dawning, listen
Then within your senses,
You'll know you're defenseless
How your heart beats, when you run for cover
Your cant retreat I spy like no other

Then we race together
We can ride forever
Wrapped in horsepower, driving into fury
Changing gear I pull you tighter to me

I'm your turbo lover
Tell me there's no other
I'm your turbo lover
Better run for cover

We hold each other closer, as we shift to overdrive
And eveyrthing goes rushing by, with every nerve alive
We move so fast it seems as though we've taken to the sky
Love machines in harmony, we hear the engines cry

I'm your turbo lover
Tell me there's no other
I'm your turbo lover
Better run for cover

On and on we're charging to the place so many seek
In perfect synchronicity of which so many speak
We feel so close to heaven in this roaring heavy load
And then in sheer abandonment, we shatter and explode

I'm your turbo lover
Tell me there's no other
I'm your turbo lover
Better run for cover

I'm your turbo lover
Tell me there's no other
I'm your turbo lover
Better run for cover




16. Hellrider

Here they come
These gods of steel
Megatron
Devouring what's concealed

Speed of Death
Crossfired they stare
Final breath
From vapourizing glares

Raised to man oppressed
Sign of persecution

Hellrider
Roars on through the night
Hellrider
Raised for the fight

All incensed
To overthrow
Strong defence
With armaments they grow

By this quest
Their fates renowned
Put to rest
Abominations grow

Time to ram it down
Judgement for the tyrant

Hellrider
Roars throug the night
Hellrider
Raised for the fight

Fight undying and eternal
Wheels bring death and pain infernal
Honour bound your strength repleted
To no end they're undefeated

Hellrider Hellrider
You fought their battle for them

Hellrider Hellrider
You brought them through their despair

Hellrider Hellrider
Your tempered steel relinquished

Hellrider Hellrider
You slaught them all extinguished

Wrath of doom
In killing fields
They consume
Their valiants never yield

Triumph to the gods
Vanquished of enslavers

Hellrider
Breaking their will
Hellrider
In for the kill

Hellrider Hellrider
You fought their battle for them

Hellrider Hellrider
You brought them through it all

Hellrider




17. Victim of Changes

Whiskey woman don't you know that you are driving me insane?
The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my brain
Don't you know you're driving me insane?

You're tryin' to find your way through life
Tryin' to get some new direction
Another woman's got her man
She won't find no new connection

Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through

Take another look around, you're not going anywhere
You realize you're growing old and no-one seems to care
You're tryin' to find your way again
Tryin' to find some new...
Another woman's got her man
She won't find no new...

Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through

You bin foolin'
With some hot guy
I want to know
Why is it why

Get up, get out
You know you really blew it
I've had enough, I've had enough
Good God, pluck me

Once she was wonderful
Once she was fine
Once she was beautiful
Once she was mine, she was mine

Now change has come over her body
She doesn't see me anymore
Now change has come over her body
She doesn't see me anymore

Changes
Changes
Changes
Changes
Victim of changes




18. Exciter

Racing 'cross the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing through the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand

Stand by for Exciter
Salvation in his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation bids to ask

Everything he touches
Fries into a crisp
Let him get close to you
So you're in his trip
First you'll smoke and smolder
Blister up in singe
When ignition hits you
The very soul of your being will cringe

Stand by for Exciter
Salvation in his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to your knees and repent if you please

Who is this man
Where is he from
Exciter comes
For everyone
You'll never see him but you will taste the fire upon your tongue

He's come to make you snap out
Of the state that you are in
Look around and make you
See the light again
So much self indulgance
Results in shattered eyes
Predominant complacency
Leads to beguiling lies

Stand by for Exciter
Salvation in his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation bids to ask

When he leaps amidst us
With combustive dance
All shall bear the branding
Of his thermal lance
Cauterising masses
Melting into one
Only when there's order
Will his job be done

Stand by for Exciter
Salvation in his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to your knees and repent if you please

Who is this man
Where is he from
Exciter comes
For everyone
You'll never see him but you will taste the fire upon your tongue

Racing past the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing through the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand

Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter




19. Painkiller

Faster than a bullet
Terrifying scream
Enraged and full of anger
He's half man and half machine

Rides the Metal Monster
Breathing smoke and fire
Closing in with vengeance soaring high

He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller

Planets devastated
Mankind's on its knees
A saviour comes from out the skies
In answer to their pleas

Through boiling clouds of thunder
Blasting bolts fo steel
Evils going under deadly wheels

He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller

Faster than a lazer bullet
Louder than an atom bomb
Chromium plated boiling metal
Brighter than a thousand suns

Flying high on rapture
Stronger free and brave
Nevermore encaptured
They've been brought back from the grave

With mankind ressurrected
Forever to survive
Returns from Armageddon to the skies

He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller
Wings of steel Painkiller
Deadly steel Painkiller

He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller

Pain, Pain, Killer, Killer

Can't stop the Painkiller




20. Hell Bent For Leather

Seek him here, seek him on the highway
Never knowing when he'll appear
All await, engine's ticking over
Hear the roar as they sense the fear

Wheels! A glint of steel and a flash of light!
Screams! From a streak of fire as he strikes!

Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather

Black as night, faster than a shadowCrimson flare from a raging sun
An exhibition, of sheer precision
Yet no one knows from where he comes

Fools! Self destruct cannot take that crown
Dreams! Crash one by one to the ground

Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather

There's many who tried to prove that they're faster
But they didn't last and they died as they tried

There's many who tried to prove that they're faster
But they didn't last and they died as they tried

Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather




21. Living after Midnight

Living after midnight
Rockin' to the dawn
Lovin' till the morning
Then I'm gone, I'm gone

I took the city 'bout 1am
Loaded, loaded
I'm all geared up to score again
Loaded, loaded
I come alive in a neon light
That's when I make my moves right

Living after midnight
Rockin' till the dawn
Lovin' till the mornin'
Then I'm gone, i'm gone

Got gleaming chrome reflectin' steel
Loaded, loaded
Ready to take on every deal
Loaded, loaded
My pulse is racin', i'm hot to take
This motor's revved up fit to break

Living after midnight
Rockin' to the dawn
Lovin' till the morning
Then I'm gone, I'm gone

I'm aiming for you
I'm gonna floor you
My body's coming all night long!

The air's electric, sparking power
Loaded, loaded
I'm getting harder by the hour
Loaded, loaded
I set my sights and then home in
The joint starts flyin' when I begin

Living after midnight
Rockin' to the dawn
Lovin' till the morning
Then I'm gone, I'm gone




22. You've Got another Thing Comin'

One life I'm gonna live it up
I'm takin' flight I said i'll never get enough
Stand tall I'm young and kinda proud
I'm on top as long as the music's loud

If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another thing comin'

That's right here's where the talkin' ends
Well listen this night there'll be some action spent
Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots
I got an ace card comin' down on the rocks

If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain
Listen I ain't foolin' and you'd better think again
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You got another thing comin

In this world we're livin' in we have our share of sorrow
Answer now is don't give in aim for a new tomorrow

Oh so hot no time to take a rest yeah
Act tough ain't room for second best
Real strong got me some security
Hey I'm a big smash I'm goin' for infinity yeah

If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another thing comin'
