2. Blow Your Speakers
Wrote a letter
To the M.T.V
What's going on
Now don't you care about me
Sent the same letter
To the radio, ha
But my party went dead
Like a shot in the head
We all like it - Rock and roll
We all want it - On your show
Play it loud, don't play it low
Blow your speakers with rock and roll
We got lots of stations
Around the nation
And the stuff they're playing
It just ain't worth saying
People want music
To get 'em movin'
We don't want labels
We want music on the cable
We all like it - Rock and roll
We all want it - On your show
Play it loud, don't play it low
Blow your speakers with rock and roll
We got lots of stations
Around the nation
And the stuff they're playing
It just ain't worth saying
We all like it - Rock and roll
We all want it - On your show
Play it loud, don't play it low
Blow your speakers with rock and roll
3. Carry On
The north star always guides me
When winter skies are gray
And I wait for the sun when all are one
I shall not betray
Call at me, I'm waiting
When all are led astray
Carry on my sons forever
Carry on when I'm gone
Carry on for when the day is long
Forever carry on
For as long as we're together then
Forever carry on
Darkness all around us
We don't close our eyes
No one's gonna ground us
We were born to fly
Comin' at us no stoppin'
Born to amplify
Carry on my sons forever
Carry on when I'm gone
Carry on for when the day is long
Forever carry on
For as long as we're together then
Forever carry on
Yea, be my brother
Fight to stay alive
All the world can't change is
With all their burned-out jive
Come get us now we're waiting
We won't run and hide
Carry on my sons forever
Carry on when I'm gone
Carry on for when the day is long
Forever carry on
For as long as we're together then
Forever carry on
Now we're all together
Let's sing a fighting song
One hundred thousand riders
We can't all be wrong
Coming at us no stopping
Always carry on
Carry on my sons forever
Carry on when I'm gone
Carry on for when the day is long
Forever carry on
For as long as we're together then
Forever carry on
4. Violence and Bloodshed
Civilization crumblin' fast
End the world with a blast
People afraid walkin' the streets
Scums have their day
Till they run into me
Are you ready?
Livin' in fear ain't livin' to me
I'm armed with a gun defending the free
They blew it in Nam
Shot up my friends
I'm back in the street
The fight never ends
I was born with a gun in my hand
I'll die for my country
But I'll die like a man
Violence and Bloodshed
Violence and Bloodshed
Violence and Bloodshed
Now that we're back to animal law
The payback's a bitch
I'm paying all
All my life I've been waiting to see
Who's gonna win crumbs or me
Are you ready?
My brother's still in Da-Nang
Putting an ad in the back of Kerrang
We're looking for people who just wanna kill
We'll go back to Nam cause no one else will
Land of the free
Home of the brave
Now that's how it is
And that's how it stays
Violence and Bloodshed
Violence and Bloodshed
Violence and Bloodshed
5. Defender
"When you are old enough to read these words
Their meaning will unfold
These words are all that's left
And though we've never met, my only son
I hope you know
That I would've been there to watch you grow
But my call was heard and I did go
Now your mission lies ahead of you
As it did mine so long ago
To help the helpless ones who all look up to you
And to defend them to the end"
Defender
Ride like the wind
Fight proud my son
You're the Defender
God has sent
Father, father, father I look up to you
And heed thy call
This letter ends my search
I'll live your dream now passed on to me
And I now wait to shake the hand of fate
Like the dusk awaiting dawn
So wizards cast your spell
WIth no heart to do me well
So it is written, it shall be
Defender
Ride like the wind
Fight proud my son
You're the Defender
God has sent
6. Drums of Doom
7. Holy War
Damnation, religion
Salvation
Fire and Steel
Damnation, religion
Salvation
Fire and Steel
I have seen the fire
Of a thousand suns pass by
While blasphemers spread their gospel
Bearing false witness, now we rise
All ye children of the wild
Fists like hammers fill the air
Vast legions all immortals
Smash the stillness everywhere
Holy, holy war
Holy
We are fighting, fighting a holy war
Holy war - See us fly on winds of doom
Holy war - Baptized in fire and steel
Holy war - For the end we bring is soon
Holy war - Now face the storm
A holy war
Brothers of metal know no masters
Metal's our religion we take it to the grave
Rulers of the earth
Our dawn of glory
All reborn, we live again
Hold true ye sacred army
Our last battle is at hand
Sweep this dogs from our kingdom
Bless this ground, our holy land
Holy, holy war
Holy
We are fighting, fighting a holy war
Holy war - See us fly on winds of doom
Holy war - Baptized in fire and steel
Holy war - For the end we bring is soon
Holy war - Now face the storm
A holy war
8. Master of Revenge
Black dogs howl in the night
The lion is dead
A solitary messenger
The Master of Revenge
9. Black Wind, Fire and Steel
Full moon's light is calling me
My kingdom lies within
The mystic soul and lion's heart
Brought by the talisman
The ecstasy of battle takes me
Where the falcons fly
Imortal youth was granted me
I will never die
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Pounded by the hammers
Of the giants of the world
I can see the darkness
I'm the overlord
Single combat I await
My shadow brings them fear
The spikes upon my chariot
Will grind them when they're near
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
I am an outcast
On the path of no return
Punisher and swordsman
I was born to burn
Black wind always follows
Where my black horse rides
Fire's in my soul
Steel is on my side
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
I am an outcast
On the path of no return
Punisher and swordsman
I was born to burn
Black wind always follows
Where my black horse rides
Fire's in my soul
Steel is on my side
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
Born to teach them all to heel
Born of black wind, fire and steel
