1. Give 'Em The Axe
Innocence red thunder, the spell that you're under
Pretending you don't want it, well I know
Plead with me to stop, I hear your screams
Adrenaline is pumping, you're under attack
Give 'em the axe - a demolition blow
Give 'em the axe - you never, never know
I chase you up and down, you like my style
My palms are sweating ah
My body's on fire
I give it to you all down deep inside
I watch you feeding back
You're under attack
You are everything I am
Can't you see its all the same
It's just a game
Give 'em the axe - a demolition blow
Give 'em the axe - put 'em up or go
Give 'em the axe - a demolition blow
Give 'em the axe - tonight will steal the show
2. Kiss Of Death
I couldn't stop them , they cam from afar
They're out to get me, I knew who they are
Machine gun blasts send shivers up my spine
The kiss of death has marked me for all time
I tried to get away
With no chance for escape
A gang of seven eyes filled with hate
They said
No more tomorrows
You're marked with kiss of death
Ripped out forever
You wear the kiss of death
I'd never cross you, I'd never sell you out
Find the singer who's lies it is you shout
I am startled and I'll scream
My last good-bye
Their trigger finger pulls
And the bullets start to fly
chorus reprise
3. No Time To Lose
Burning red thunder, the spell that you're under
Is a curse of the times
A lover, a leaver, unfaithful deceiver
Your heartache is just in your mind
Give it up for tonight
Don't even care if it's wrong or right
Lust is too strong to fight
Look to see your blinded sights
I feel your frustrations
I know your relations, you're trapped in a dream
A glass cage around you,
But now that I've found you
I'll shatter it and set you free
We're on the loose - we can't stop time
No time to lose - I'm yours tonight
And you're mine
Give it up for tonight
Don't even care if it's wrong or right
Lust is too strong to fight
Look to see your blinded sights
chorus reprise (2x)
4. Long Live Rock 'N' Roll (Rainbow cover)
At the end of a dream
If you know where I mean
When the mist just starts to clear
In a similar way
At the end of today
I could feel the sound of writing on the wall
It cries for you
It's the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screamin' in my head
Long live rock and roll (3x)
In a different time
When the words didn't rhyme
You could never quite be sure
Then on with the change
It was simple but strange
And you knew the feeling seem to say it all
It cries for you
It's the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screamin' in my mind
chorus
If you suddenly see
What has happened to me
You should spread the word around
And tell everyone here
That it's perfectly clear
They can sail above it all on what they've found
It cries for you
It's the best that you can do
Like a sound that's everywhere
I can hear it screamin' through the air
chorus
