I've sworn the oath upon my family grave
I'm dragging you under,
Spirits wander; meet your pain
If you cry as your die
I'll just remind those you fooled with your lies
I know you would like to stab me from behind
It is payback time, so run but you can't hide
CHORUS:
So don't you stand in my way, I don't want you to stay
My truth is not your lie
Beware if you care, but you can't prepare
Forsaken; the pride
I came to a point of no return, someone's got to burn
Go down, down, down to a warmer place
Revenge for human race
Hey, home boy; you're nothing but a fake
I remember your laughter, the moment after
My soul was raped
But who's laughing now?
The old sun is now colder than ice
Won't be screaming out for vengeance anymore
I've been playing the game enough to change the score
CHORUS
1st solo: Nordlund
2nd solo: Haglund
I sworn the oath upon my family grave
I'm dragging you under,
Spirits wander; hope you're afraid
Had a gun under my pillow; now it's gone
The vendetta's now completed, guess I won
CHORUS
You're a disgrace; you're a fraud; I'll meet your face
[Johansson / Nordlund / Lindstedt]
It's another boring day; I wanted to run
And people in my way
Oh, what have I done?
Here we are, time to stay Raw
Burning up but what do we know?
Live to learn; wait another minute
By the will to die
Their haunted houses were made of strangers
He'll break the sun and light
The marker's cleared and locked
It's time to rock
It's time to rock
It's time to rock
When your cell is down and locked
It's time to rock
There is a lonely man
He's taking control
He might be doing wrong
It's eating his soul
Came out; riding the law
They're forced to say: we'll open the door
In between; lost inside a riddle
And we may have to die
He live upon the edge of danger
They'll hold their weapons down
But I will never stop
It's time to rock
It's time to rock
It's time to rock
Yes, when your world is down and locked
It's time to rock
[Solo: Nordlund]
Their haunted houses were made of strangers
He'll break the sun and light
The maker's cleared and locked
It's time to rock
It's time to rock
It's time to rock
Yes when your mind is cleared and locked
It's time to rock
It's time to rock
It's time to rock
Wes when your world is down and locked
It's time to rock
It's time to rock
It's time to rock
All around the world
And I will never ever stop
And I ain't never gonna drop
Facing the world with polluted eyes
Diving to see who I am!
Falling from grace now oblivion
Sail out: fade out
[Chorus:]
My bleeding eyes, only blind men
You're a serpentine: minds game: fools game
Behind the walls from the gospel
The field of gold, must be lost here
As I am deeper than down
Lead me to embrace, or I will die
Climbing to God in a desperate way
Longing the day when I die
Biding my time in the Trojan horse
Some day, some way
[Chorus:]
In the burning sun: only blind men
What is to be won? Minds games fools game
A light ablaze in the open
The ghouls of pain are awoken
But I will follow the road
Away from Babylon, or I will die
Raising my voice for wooden majer
Breaking my back for the master taker
Running along through the flood of life
Locked in a horse, but you can't hold me out
Working my time in the mortal chamber
Surrounded by walls of amber
Rushing along, though the system failed
There's a story to be told and it is always on my mind
And don't you tell me that I'm wrong
'Cause it's all I ever dreamed about
Move out of my way
I'll be there to synchronise
And I got nothing to say today
Well.I'm the one and I'm the strong
Let me be your lover and your friend
Tell me why you're leaving,where did I go wrong
Take me now make me understand
Am I clear,how many times must I try?
Until I find:The Rainbow in your mind
I remember years ago
How used to spend my nights
Couldn't see what's going on
That you were made a running man
Whenever you pay I will be your merchandise
You were dreaming of yesterday
But I'm the one and I'm the strong
This world is built on jealousy
Fakes and frauds are hurting me
I'm just glad to be alive
Hand on the bible; hand on the book that speaks of war
Two different faces of the world
Now and for always; look there behind the walls of time
To blind the world and see
[Chorus:]
When the darkness comes; screams of silence
Soon it's done; when darkness comes
When darkness comes
Life's just a requiem; death is a never ending song
Invite the spirits of relief to the house without windows
Lost since the days when legends lived
The only quest is to breathe
[Chorus:]
When the darkness comes; screams of silence
Now it's done; when darkness comes
Close the fire power child; it's the Devil's eye
When darkness comes
Is this the creation of new incarnations between good and bad?
A sign of the afterlife or a dream to be dreamed, to be dreamed
[Solo]
I believe the darkness, it's my only friend
Heavenly father; I no longer bother
Oh, I'm waiting for the day
[Chorus:]
When the darkness comes; screams of silence
Now it's done; when darkness comes
Close the fire power child; it's the Devil's eye
When darkness comes
You know, you know that you never will die
As I left with a grin you stood by the grave
A pilgrim's confusion. From the crypt came the fools on parade
Was born with this urge. The future looked bright
They called me the chosen one blessed with this might
Then on the stage I saw that crippled little child
In tears before the new born savior
[Chorus:]
I got the power to heal
I got the power to heal
While you run like a rat in your wheel
I got the power to heal
I got the power to heal
Now I'm sick of your lies
Be sure of that I have got the power to heal
The power to heal
My path may be grim, but I do what I like
A menace to wisdom, I'm the nail they're so eager to bite
Am I dirty or clean or something in between?
My mind may be broken but my heart's made of steel
The hand of late is here to lead me through the night
Just like a soldier of desire
[Chorus:]
I got the power to heal
I got the power to heal
In control of the cards that you deal
I got the power to heal
I got the power to heal
When you clutch after straws
My call says that I have got the power to heal
[Solo]
The sentenced:
Forgive me father for I have sinned
Killed another man
Blood upon my hands
I followed the cold winds
Tracked down by the arm of the law
The warder:
Look at the man tou are
We'll switch off your life, it's gone too far
From here there's no escape
And in the death now you're bound to loose
Your one and only wire
More fuel to the pure
The sentenced:
I'm on the green mile trying to get out
Electrical ride into the light
The warder:
And on the green mile you'll never be alone
The guards are there beside you
The sentenced:
So read me my last rites
Give me just one sign
Soon I've paid my crime
Banished out of heaven
Old sparky will make me go down
And after the monsters ball
The rookie's prepared to do it all
This is my last goodbye
The executioner; the lord of might
You are my only saviour
Tried hard to be braver
I'm on the green mile trying to get out
Electrical ride into the light
The Prison Chaplain:
On the green mile you'll never be alone
An angel flies above you
Green mile
Walk the green mile
Green mile
Solo: Haglund
Use your only wire
More fuel to the pyre
I'm here to die
I'm on the green mile trying to get out
Out of the cell, into the light
On the green mile you'll never be alone
The guards are there beside you
I'm on the green mile trying to get out
Electrical ride into the light
And on the green mile you'll never be alone
Now electrified, the lightning ride
[Johansson / Nordlund / Lindstedt]
Well, I know I was born with a crown made of troll
Faking a smile and I try to move on
Calling the shots like the king of the flies
Hiding myself, but my art's gonna take me higher
So much higher again
Love, hate and fury coming my way
Cry out in anger, got nothing to say
Cool, rich and famous, smoking cigars
The hole in my brain, won't stop me to ride the flame
Ride the flame
And the flames go higher and higher
Away from love and hate; tales of fate
Lord, I cry out in anger
[Solo: Nordlund / Haglund]
I take you all higher, so much higher again
Love, hate and fury coming my way
Cry out in anger, got nothing to say
Cool, rich and famous, smoking cigars
The hole in my brain
The hole in my brain
Love, hate and fury coming my way
Cry out in anger, got nothing to say
Cool, rich and famous, smoking cigars
The hole in my brain, won't stop me to ride the flame
Ride the flame
Early in the morning; it's time for you to go
I guess you're a disciple of the clock
You're dreaming away, I hear what you say
To live a life so boring is nothing we can do
We're writing down the testament; the testament of rock
We came into the light; with rock we conquered the fear
Hard times, life was a fight; in denim and leather with hearts made of steel
Banged our heads against the wall,
Raised our fists and yelled
Knock, knock open up the door;
It's alive
So sing with me
We'll always sing our fighting song
[Chorus:]
We'll never stop; forever strong, it goes on and on and on
We're here to write the will; the testament of rock
Get lost you posers of fraud; low life you run with the pack
Stay true, no mainstream betray;
We live as we learn
Let us take you to burn
Sold ours souls to rock'n'roll to live forevermore
If it's too loud than you're too old;
Scream it out and let it bleed
Another day another song
[Chorus:]
We're writing down the testament, it's our last will and our last call
Writing down the testament; we're bound to rise and you shall fall
[Solo]
Banged our heads against the wall;
Raised our fists and yelled
Knock, knock open up the door;
It's alive, so sing with me
I'll always sing my fighting song
Here I'm lying with the dying
This is a song about a crime, we must tell it again and again
The people cry; revolution, but no one dares
From a whisper in the leaves to the breeze off the ocean
Domino effect when the avalanches start to roll
Look inside the magic ball and show me what is wrong
You're a mystery woman; magic man; you're mesmerized
CHORUS:
Who'll be there when a titan cries?
With tooth and nail they fight
And they're defending the rights; the light
Some blood must be spilled
In the games when a titan cried
You will see the dictator die
Who'll be king of the reich of blood?
Tears from a titan
To the master we begged for our lives; one more night
No remorse, executions or fire-might
Mess around get him down; biding time in the wolf's lair
What's another mile? Freedom's closer now
No more concentration camps; burn them to the ground
Cast a spell on the devils hands, the evil eye
CHORUS
1st solo: Nordlund
2nd solo: Haglund
Tyranny goes on, father and the son
Prophecies are wrong, no one's here to deliver
Bloody serenade, dying is the aid
Tears from a titan
On and on and on, father and the son
Prophecies are wrong, no one's here to deliver
Bloody serenade, dying is the aid
Tears from a titan
Titan cries; who'll be there when a titan cries?
I will
Titan cries; from the eyes of evil
CHORUS
[Johansson / Nordlund / Lindstedt]
Russian tundra, cold is the night
Still it's not too late
There's no bail; Siberian trail
Doomed to live my last days
Like a cursed in the dark
From the eye you can't hide
When the fatherland decides you're Christ
In their state they create a better race
But take my warning
It is right before your eyes
A new time dawning
Gonna send me off
To Stalingrad
A fatal birth of one mans earth
Now it's all too late
Curtain of iron, confusion in the crowd
A union made by violence, greed and force
To tame all the men in the land
And to crush their houses of glass; in flesh
On my way to Gulag this preacher spoke
He said:
Take my warning
It is right before your eyes
A new time dawning
We will die
For the traitor of mankind
They made me fight in Stalingrad
All the people died in Stalingrad
[Solo: Nordlund / Haglund]
I'm a cursed in the dark
From the eye you can't hide
When the fatherland decides you're a Christ
In the state they create a better race
But take my warning
It's the beginning of the end
A new time dawning
Defenders of the worst of crimes
Take my warning
It is right before your eyes
A new time dawning
We will die for the traitor of mankind
We will die in Stalingrad
Satanic tribute or a holy sign; it's burning tonight
Turned upside down, the last will of the crucified
Rise; all you people must rise to make them all realize
This is a war we cannot win
Life is a dark road and it's leading straight to Hell
[Chorus:]
Are they divine or occult those who kneel by St-Peter's cross
See the altar of the damned; St-Peter's cross
Symbolic value caught up in between the cross and the belief
Unholy game; it cannot be an happy end
Liar, you're going down in fire; you'll have to stand before Lucifer's trial
In this human sacrifice
Road to redemption but the masters don't ask twice
[Chorus:]
Are they divine or occult those who kneel by St-Peter's cross
See the altar of the damned; St-Peter's cross
[Solo]
A simple sinner or from Heaven sent; of innocence born
Turned upside down, the last will of the crucified
Life is a dark road and it's leading straight to Hell
[Chorus:]
Are they divine or occult those who kneel by St-Peter's cross
See the altar of the damned; St-Peter's cross
Are they divine or occult those who kneel by St-Peter's cross
See the altar of the damned; St-Peter's cross
St-Peter's cross
The wizard in white; as the day turned to night in the year of never
Observing the sky as the wolf starts to cry; sleep forever
See the bleeding faces, fell the winds of lost places again
So many days so many nights
So many days so many nights; dreaming
A sorcerer's spell, he kills and he tells about the gods forsaken
Possessed by the sign, the cursed and the rime; wicked taker
See the bleeding faces, fell the winds of lost places again
[Chorus:]
So many days so many nights, dreamer, screamer, look at the world
So many days so many nights, danger, stranger, walk through the black
So many days so many nights, So many days so many nights
So many days so many nights
They're standing on the outside, they try to get in
[Solo]
The wizard in white; as the day turned to night in the year of never
Observing the sky as the wolf starts to cry; sleep forever
See the bleeding faces, fell the winds of lost places again
[Chorus:]
So many days so many nights, dreamer, screamer, look at the world
So many days so many nights, danger, stranger, walk through the black
So many days so many nights, The wizard in white
You've got ashes on the tip of your finger
You've got secrets in the back of your mind
You've been searching for the meaning of evil
'Cause you're attracted to the darkness of life
You've been playing with the words of a liar
And you're tired of the war that you rage
You've been hanging on the edge of the fire
And your pride has got you locked in a cage
You, you got to find the peace of mind that you've been looking' for
You, you got to fight to have the life that you've been searching' for
(You gotta' slay the dragon, You gotta' kill the beast)
(You gotta' slay the dragon, You gotta' kill the beast)
Running' through the night trying' to feel alright and it's time you want to burn
Carry all the weight of your love and hate, will the tables ever turn?
Running' down the road with a heavy load, trying' to leave the world behind
Listen to the voice 'cause you have a choice and it's time to draw the line
When you've reached the end of the road
And you find a hole in your soul
I believe it's time to slay the beast
You're still counting on the change of the seasons
You've been waiting for the passage of time
While your loneliness has taken you hostage
You've been hiding in a circle of lies
You, you got to find the peace of mind that you've been looking' for
You, you got to fight to have the life that you've been searching' for
(You gotta' slay the dragon, You gotta' kill the beast)
(You gotta' slay the dragon, You gotta' kill the beast)
Running' through the night trying' to feel alright and this time you want to burn
Carry all the weight of your love and hate, will the tables ever turn?
Running' down the road with a heavy load, trying' to leave the world behind
Listen to the voice 'cause you have a choice and it's time to draw the line
When you've reached the end of the road
And you find a hole in your soul
I believe it's time to slay the beast
You've got ashes on the tips of your fingers
You've got secrets in the back of your mind
You've been searching for the meaning of evil
'Cause you're attracted to the darkness of life
You've been playing with the words of a liar
And you're tired of the war that you rage
You've been hanging on the edge of desire
And your pride has got you locked in a cage
You gotta' slay the dragon
You gotta' kill the beast
You gotta' slay the dragon
Defenders of the world now forsaken
Stealers of the sun in the making
Chaos and destruction all around this time
Mirror, mirror: who's the liar?
To be or not to be; who was the soldier with a heart?
Master and slave, so many miles apart
[Chorus:]
You must surrender tonight, there will be a tomorrow
Words must be stronger than weapons of steel
Remember the days in a decade of sorrow
Come to life rainbow warrior
The rainbow warrior
Protectors of the earth; profit maker
Surfing on the waves; nuclear shaker
I may be a cynic but you'll burn in Hell
Infant killer down in fire
Ten tons of metal goes down to the bottom of the deep
Ghost of the sailor and the guardian of the sea
[Chorus:]
You must surrender tonight, there will be a tomorrow
Words must be stronger than weapons of steel
Remember the days in a decade of sorrow
Come to life rainbow warrior
The man on the moon awake in the night
The king of the sea; is God left behind
A twist of the truth, a child of rebirth
In colors so bright here on earth
[Solo]
Who was the soldier with a heart?
Master and slave, so many miles apart
[Chorus:]
You must surrender tonight, there will be a tomorrow
Words must be stronger than weapons of steel
Remember the days in a decade of sorrow
Come to life...
You must surrender tonight, there will be a tomorrow
Words must be stronger than weapons of steel
Remember the days in a decade of sorrow
Come to life... rainbow warrior
The rainbow warrior
Hail Mother Mary, the right way is scary
Stay out; I will beware
Hail Mother Mary, the loving and caring
I stand on the edge of the stair
Fast rolls on the wheels to the future so bright
We're struck; we are
The raiders of the ark
The race is on
Raiders of the ark
I know it's a pity; the lack of desire now
An urge for salvation, alarming for the nation
Fraud is everywhere
Eternal damnation, abusing the treasure
The gospels in the air
Sacred my task though we're leaving this earth
Fall out, we are
The raiders of the ark
The race is on
Raiders of the ark
I know it's a pity; the lack of delight
Blessed be thy child in the black of the night
The spirit's still alive
Shelter from the world never doing what is right
We fear the dark; we're raiders of the ark
1st solo: Nordlund
2nd solo: Haglund
I cry for the human race
Left another trace
Looking for the ark an endless race
We see but we are blind
Guess we'll never find
The treasure with the rimes
'Cause we walk on the water, we play it again
Too late; we are
The raiders of the ark
The race is on
Raiders of the ark
Rain and fire; taking me higher
Ice and snow; take me home
You know we are searching in the dark
[Johansson / Nordlund / Lindstedt]
Came out of speed and I knew that I'd won
Turning the steel for the king and his crown
Scared from the start, I could never be late
Leaving the others for a lonely day
You know I never needed love
Don't you lie; never lie
I guess you'll stay the night awake
I'm going to win what's to take
You pull the break
You pull the break
You pull the break
You know what to take
You pull the break
You pull the break
You pull the break
You're a loser, your ground will quake
You pull the break
Married the highway; sleeping with the road
Talk to myself, I'm about to explode
Using my sense, I will never return
Bur one day you're all about to burn
I wish that I had wings to fly
Way up high, so high
Tomorrow will be all too late
Only for one man's mistake
You pull the break
You pull the break
You pull the break
You know what to take
You pull the break
You pull the break
You pull the break
You're a loser, your ground will quake
You pull the break
[Solo: Nordlund]
Here I go, no
You know I never needed love
Don't you lie
I guess you'll stay the night awake
I'm going to win what's to take
Break
I live what to take
Don't pull, don't pull
You pull the break
You pull the break
You pull the break
You know what to take
You pull the break
You're faster than the speed of light
You're holding on the curves so tight
I know that I will live to die
[Johansson / Nordlund / Lindstedt]
Come along
Won't you hear my song?
Well, there's a mystic river; many people shiver
But I will burn with delight
Dragons to the left; maidens to the right
Brimstone, fire and ice
And I shall always sing my song
I'll always be around to praise the bones
Praise the bones
I can't create another rime
Inside a fantasy world
We are living for to praise the bones
I saw elves and striders; black horse riders
Mean machines ready to strike
I read it in the cradle; keep it on the table
Religion meant for a child
And I shall always sing my song
I'll always be around to praise the bones
Praise the bones
I can't create another rime
Inside a fantasy world
We are living for to praise the bones
Praise the bones
Praise the bones
Praise the bones
Oh no
Come on and praise it
[Solo: Nordlund / Haglund]
And I shall always sing my song
I'll always be around to praise the bones
Praise the bones
I can't create another rime
Inside a fantasy world
We are living for to praise the bones
In the land of the dark where the horsemen ride
It is written and told 'bout the other side
They are disciples without knowing why
And they're blessed with a gift; so determined to die
Heaven and Hell; fire and ice
[Chorus:]
It's the power and the glory
In paradise you'll be rewarded for your sacrifice
It's the power and the glory
Now it's your turn, set the unholy people to burn
In the cold of the night in the pale moon light
Say a prayer to the one and his last goodbye
Captured by evil and makers of lies
Trapped in a world where the outcast will rise
Fortunate and fame; life is a game
[Chorus:]
It's the power and the glory
In paradise you'll be rewarded for your sacrifice
It's the power and the glory
Now it's your turn, set the unholy people to burn
[Solo]
We're talking 'bout heaven and Hell; fire and ice
[Chorus:]
It's the power and the glory
In paradise you'll be rewarded for your sacrifice
It's the power and the glory
Beggar, begging for life
Squeezing the last from the past
Bleed for the earth
For the silent rebirth
Forever may end all too fast
But why would anyone care?
Please let me go, it's only a dream
Back to earth, or a one way ticket leading to the sun?
The mouth of Hell is open
The mother ship's calling and calling
Planet Earth
Travel you pilgrims of Mars
Take us beyond the unknown
Bring us the answer we've yearned for so long
The war of existence is on
But why exploring the worlds
And open the doors without knowing what's there
Back to earth, or a one way ticket leading to the sun?
The mouth of Hell is open
The mother ship's calling and calling
Planet Earth
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
Oh, beggar, begging for time
Squeezing the last from the past
Bleed for the earth, for the silent rebirth
Forever may end all too fast
But why would anyone care?
Please let me go, it's only a dream
Back to earth, or a one way ticket leading to the sun?
The mouth of Hell is open
The mother ship's calling and calling
heard the spirit calling me… Saying God has a job for me
But my reply was, "Lord, why me?" Please find someone instead of me
But for this work He had chose me… In mama’s womb He had ordained me
Gave His anointing and ability…To fulfill the ministry
He said … Embrace my destiny And find… My true identity
Operate in… Power and authority And fulfil… the plan God has for me
That’s what He told me…Embrace my destiny Stay on… the path He set for me
I would walk in… I’d walk in victory And fulfill… the plan God has for me

But now you feel empty inside… The money, sex and drugs you’ve tried
Will never ever satisfy…Son, I think you’d better recognize and
Embrace… Embrace your destiny And find… Your true identity
Operate in… Power and authority And be… who God wants you to be
You must embrace … Embrace your destiny Destiny… go as the spirit leads

Rap:
Harvest is ripe… but the laborers few… it’s getting late in the day … so much work to do…
You know the Lord’s done for you … and still his call you refuse.

[Johansson / Nordlund / Lindstedt]
In the feet of dawning; to the pagan sea
For the breath of yawning; falling like a leaf
See the cries of the aged and wise
The know where the world will go
Way down to the train of the caravan
Won't you give it away, give it away
Give your life or you will stand alone
Open up the gate and try
Let the black sun shine
All you fools and those to stay
Let the black sun shine
Heroes die and so do I
And so do I
When the giant's falling and your spirit rise
Distant voices calling; make your sacrifice
Your life's not an easy ride
For those on the other side
Don't run to the scene of another crime
Won't you give it away, give it away
Give your life; don't climb the mountain high
Open up the gate and try
Let the black sun shine
Start to run, start to run
Let the black sun shine
Heroes die and so do I
So do I
Maybe some can realize that the closer to our God
Flames and songs in Neverland
You are there and never coming home
There's an evil song to the world tonight
Delirium; save me God; save me God
[Solo: Nordlund]
So give your life or you will stand alone
Open up the gate and try
Let the black sun shine
All you fools and those to stay
Let the black sun shine
Heroes die and so do I
So do I
Master of deliria; keep away, won't let it out
Let the black sun shine
All the fools in the masquerade
Seduction of the good and brave
Now listen here
Night is young a moonlit sky
Time to meet the crowd
Union makers of the wild
Into the void out of the sun
Stronger than clever
Power hour in the tower
Life is in a rage
Why? We'll never take a bow
That's our pride
For the king and the queen
We are the soldiers
Now it's time to save our souls
There's always a chance to battle the evil
Out of the light, ride into the mist
Like Oliver Twist
Who's that demon in my head?
A spectre from the past
Fingers crossed, I wonder why
Ain't going to kneel; don't want to be steel
Pick pocketing boys
Life is not an opera, no
Far from the grace
Filth; a life amount the rays
No way
For the king and the queen
We are the soldiers
Now it's time to save our souls
There's always a chance to battle the evil
Never retire; raise your fighting fist
Like Oliver Twist
Oliver Twist
For the king and the queen
1st solo: Nordlund
2nd solo: Haglund
Power hour in the tower
Far from the grace
Why? We'll never take a bow
That's pride
For the king and the queen
We are the soldiers
Now it's time to save our souls
There's always a chance to battle the evil
Out of the light, right into the mist
What's another broken bone ?
Another life to spill
There's lady in black who feeds the darkness,
High up on the hill
Burn her:stone her
They know what not to do
Kill her:take her
She's crying over you
Chorus:
She'll Burn alive for the people with no souls
Who doesn't try She's burning alive
Do they cry ?
When they realized they never asked her why
She's burning She's burning alive
Caught inside this evil dream,
With this vicious love machine
Sucking life from our senses,
It's a game that just can't win
Stab her:Rob her
Her time is running out
Ban her:Break her
She's crying in the night
A rider came from far away
to tell the story to the king
he was a saint in armour
find the sole crusader
take him to the cliff, lit him see the vultures
the phantoms of universe
Rage is a sin and we're all giving in
let the weapons of evil rust
the death machine won't wait until tomorrow
Pray for the new revelation
no more reign of blood
you must stand united side by side
it's a new revelation
save our troops tonight
while metal hails are falling on their shields
On their shields
Cravens from the underworld
Cravens from the underworld
live by the rules of slaying or be tamed
it's hard to kill dead creatures
outcasts in euphoria
dweil in the tombs of dark illusionis
be brothers of deliverance
Fathers an sons let us gather as one
fight together until the end
the war machine won't stop before tomorrow
Pray for the new revelation
no more reign of blood
you must stand united side by side
it's a new revelation
save our troops tonight
while metal hails are falling on their shields
No more rain of blood
on their shields
you got to start to march
The conclusion of life
is it only a paradox?
want to be in a cowards shape?
cast your chains, victory will cost
[Guitar solo]
The conclusion of life

He played Sabbath bloody Sabbath
In the basement people worshiped in stereo
Best friend was Uriah, I tell you loud and clear
Boys get ready to fight; all right we are princes of the night
Weekend warriors, disciples of hard rock radio
[Chorus]
He was a Metal DJ
Metal DJ; once and forever
Metal DJ
Like children we learned, he took us to burn
Black night and star struck
With a whole lotta love at space station number 5
Charlotte the harlot saw when Rosie broke the law
Boys get ready to fight; tonight we are hungry like before
Vinyl renegades; destroyers of public radio
[Chorus]
Our tables have turned
Metal DJ; I raise my glass
Metal DJ; I fill my cup
Metal DJ; I drink to you
[Solo]
He played the heavy songs
He was our mentor
With lessons in rock
[Chorus]
And don't you know he was a Metal DJ
Metal DJ, playing all the heavy songs
Metal DJ
We lived and we learned he took us to burn
And don't you know he was a Metal DJ
Metal DJ; once and forever
Metal DJ
Like children we learned, he took us to burn
We drink to you
Soldier boy, where's your toy?
Make your mama proud
And the medals of gold shows you're no murderer
Soldier boy do you feel joy
While sniping humans down
In the ruins of the Balkans or in Lebanon
Wonder what is lost in a mind so cold?
Forever to be damned
He's a mercenary man, your life is in his hand
Sorrow falls, up from the valley of the death he'll rise again
Mercenary man, the nations will bleed, he will never be free again
Baghdad dawn soon it's gone
Holy places burn
There are tribes killing tribes in Somalia
Infected boil drowned in oil
Profit's in command
High score of this game called hysteria
Years went by, this soldier returned to Ma in a body bag
He's a mercenary man, your life is in his hand
Sorrow falls, up from the valley of the death he'll rise again
Mercenary man, the nations will bleed, he will never be free again
The Nazarene could walk on the water
For you and me, but why?
The curtain will fall, humanity
Pity the whore, insanity
Stabbing your friend, you cheater
Failure of death or fraud of life
Puppets of rage, no pantomime
Walking the stage under the gun
Power supreme you are the
Master of flies
Is there a chance for to pay back the fee of life?
He is forever damned
He's a mercenary man, your life is in his hand
Sorrow falls, up from the valley of the death he'll rise again
Mercenary man, the nations will bleed, he will never be free again
He will never be free again
well, he's a man on a mission; he is sent from Allah
longing for the glory in Sangri-La
got god on hes side; no one can take him away
he's glorious, he said
viva the revolution
I know I will be born again
long live mass confusion
I'm a martyr
hidden in the London caves
hidden in the London caves
in the caves of London
I'm a guy with a message, turn on the news
children of the west; here's the Baghdad blues
there's a bomb in my bag;
our justice is going to blow you away
I'm the glorious, he said
viva the revolution
I know I will be born again
long live mass confusion
I'll be a legend. you'll have to face
terror down under ground in the London caves
hidden down under in the London caves
I will never be found in the London caves
man of god
I'm a man on a mission, I'm blessed by Allah
longing for the glory in Shangri-La
got a bomb in my bag, my justice will blow you away
I'm glorius, I say
viva the revolution
I know I will be born again
long live mass confusion
London town under ground
viva the revolution
i know I will be born again
long live mass confusion
I'll have a place by the master's side
terror down under ground in the London caves
hidden down under ground in tha London caves
I will never be found in the London caves
never
I will never be found
I'm a guy with a message
[Johansson / Nordlund / Lindstedt]
If you are wind, I would go to a place where wind don't blow
It's time to leave
If you are steel, I would be like a flame to melt you down
You have to see and tell me why you cry
Why you cry
He came to save our lives; to kill the tyrant and the beast
He brought a legion
And maybe one day he will rise up and say:
I fought in this holy war, in quest to find the Astral Doors
Look into the future; you'll fall forever
In the slaughter to release us; we shall survive
Lionheart
Lionheart
Brave and divine
Lionheart
We stand for the sake, fighting side by side
They came to paradise; I stood beside them in my dreams
And all those pages
To me seemed so real though they're all make believe
Liar; how you sacrificed my soul
Got no wish of growing old
And when I die at last; I won't miss you
To the warrior from the loser; who can survive?
Lionheart
You are stronger than the steel
Lionheart
Brave and divine
Lionheart
You are riding on the wings of Heavens might
Fighting side by side
[Solo: Nordlund / Nordlund]
In the slaughter to release us; we shall survive
Lionheart
Lionheart
Brave and divine
Lionheart
We stand for the sake, my life at stake
Lionheart
You are stronger than the steel
Lionheart
Brave and divine
Lionheart
You are riding on the wings of Heavens might
Fighting side by side
If you are steel, I would be like a flame to melt you down
Who's to stand when the rocks are rolling?
who's to dance around the golden calf?
will the slaves now rule the masters?
in the bloodstained holy land
shalom; look at yourself
the kingdom won't rise again
a phantom's eyes; a new thrown dice
la'olam; who's king of the kings?
Israel, Israel
Israel; time will always foretell
a palestine looks for resurrection
the pearl gates closing down
don't steal from your brother
on my cross I see a world that is turning
arise; chains ever crack
outcast in desert land
you can not escape the execrate
Messiah; they'll never forgive
Israel, Israel
Israel, time will always fortell
my soul is burning
it's burning
my world is turning
behold Israel
you know we cry for you
and then we look into
a phantom's eyes; a new thrown dice
shalom; the kingdom won't rise again
David's star and what we are
arise; who's the king of the kings?
Israel, Israel
Israel; the dark side of heaven
Israel, Israel
Israel; time will always foretell
Dear Mr devil, your songs were right
Music for the children of the night
Try to learn? Who wants to live forever?
Stay up late until the sunrise
Madness across the town
I see angels fly
A fire in the sky
In rock we trust; in rock we trust
Play loud; no one can break us
In rock we trust; in rock we trust
Rock hard; in rock we trust
Dear Mr devil, you gave the sign
A revelation to open up their minds
To be alive is to be filled with anger
Behold the allied forces
Soldiers in front the stage
We are denim knights
Go higher, realize
In rock we trust; in rock we trust
Play loud; no one can break us
In rock we trust; in rock we trust
Rock hard; 'cause in rock we trust
For rock we live; for rock we die
In rock we trust
1st solo: Nordlund
2nd solo: Haglund
Attack; the allied forces
Madness across the town
You know we are denim knights
Go higher, realize
In rock we trust; in rock we trust
Play loud; no one can break us
In rock we trust; in rock we trust
We stand for what we are
In rock we trust; in rock we trust
Play loud; none is a faker
In rock we trust; in rock we trust
They are the hungry children, dying before our eyes
I dry their frozen tears, I won't let them down
Ten thousand screaming out
Calling out my name
[Chorus:]
We cry: we cry for the children of mankind
We cry: we cry for the nature that we found
The hungry people
The world is moving faster, spinning round and round
We're bound to meet disaster, high above the ground
Which one is innocent?
Of the greed we share
All my nights, I could hear their cries for life
I'm a loser: I am no one I am praying down the line
[Solo]
It's hard to pray for someone and to justify
I dry their frozen tears and I won't let them down
Ten thousand screaming out
My pretty little angel eyes, every little thing you do to me
I know your love will kill me
Pretty little angel eyes, every little word you throw at me
I know someone will break us down
Forgive them too blinded to see
[Chorus:]
Because it's third strike and out; hitting the balls in the light
Greenfield of life
Third strike, I'm done; missed the test flight to the stars
Greenfield of life
Adrenaline starts to pump, get in to a state of misery
This time no one can take me
I only see it black or white, beaten by my own hypocrisy
This time I want you to hold me down
Forgive those who did not believe
[Chorus:]
Because it's third strike and out; hitting the balls in the light
Greenfield of life
Third strike, I'm done; missed the test flight to the stars
Greenfield of life
I can never believe in what I see; I can never foretell about the need
I am a liar I play it in repeat; I am the fire you never gonna see
I can never believe in what I see; I can never foretell about the need
I am a liar I play it in repeat; I am the fire you never gonna see
[Solo]
Someone will break us down; forgive them too blinded to see
[Chorus:]
Because it's third strike and out; hitting the balls in the light
Greenfield of life
Third strike, I'm done; missed the test flight to the stars
Greenfield of life
Third strike and out; hitting the balls in the light
Greenfield of life
Third strike, I'm done; missed the test flight to the stars
(Greenfield of life)
Greenfield of life
(Greenfield of life)
Greenfield of life
[Johansson / Nordlund / Lindstedt]
With a gun inside your mouth life's rushing by
In the shade of sin; to live you have to die
Convicting yourself to the cross; it was your loss
The face made of tragic and tears:
Now it's here
It goes on and on and on
From the cradle to the grave
Well, it rolls like a wheel
The torture goes on and on
In the houses made of stone you try to hide
But the eyes of the beholder will try
To drag you from heaven to hell, I tell
The treasure, the struggle in pain
All in vain
It goes on and on and on
From the cradle to the grave
Well, it rolls like a wheel
On and on and on
On and on and on
It goes on and on and on
On and on and on
It goes on and on and on
[Solo: Nordlund / Haglund]
Now you're gone
The torments tongue brought you under the ground
I can see it now so clear; you have to die
Convicting yourself to the cross; it was your loss
The face made of tragic and tears
Now it's near
It goes on and on and on
From the cradle to the grave
Well, it rolls like a wheel
The torture goes on and on
It goes on and on and on
From the cradle to the grave
In the calm in the storm
On and on and on
On and on
From the cradle to the grave
it's wrong; it's right
you will explode like dynamite
for real; you're sodomized
I am an evil boy
my music shall be played loud
running with the greyhound
I'm hard; stakes are high
looking for the manna coming out of the sky
I'm waiting for you all the time
signed; sealed; delivered
rise of the figure
here's from Satan with love
more snow to find
you are a mountain I must climb
no rules for the anti Christ
I sank the Noah's ark
dying in the playhouse
tell me why I'm spellbound
my way; the rebel to pay
whole lotta shaking on the tip of my tounge
your makeup is the devil's mark
signed; sealed; delivered
rise of the figure
here's from Satan with love
I'll rise up from the ashes
I'll steal away your cries
from darkness I am coming of
don't put, don't put me down
signed; sealed; delivered
rise of the figure
whole lotta shaking on the tip of my tounge
signed; sealed; delivered
rise of the figure
On through the night we march
Heavy load upon our heathen hearts
The war goes on and on and on
My nights are cold and I'll always wait for the changer of days
Holy man, it's not too late
We're gonna shine like the morning star, forever and ever
Cause we were chosen to fight in the freedom war
So carry on, carry on
Now I sit here in loneliness
Long ago I fought the civil war
I feel it's the point of no return
The time is now but I stand alone with the voices inside
General: I wonder why?
We're gonna shine like the morning star, forever and ever
Cause we were chosen to fight in the freedom war
So carry on, carry on
On through the night we march
Heavy load upon our heathen hearts
The war goes on and on and on
My nights are cold and I'd like to sleep for the rest of my days
A Judas kiss and then farewell
We're gonna shine like the morning star, forever and ever
Cause we were chosen to fight in the freedom war
announced that the building´s on fire
met up with the band; we couldn´t understand
systems now red alert
we look at a funeral pyre
a song for the starlight
tumbling down; but why?
there´s a fire in our house; no sun at night
a fire in our house
they scream: there´s a fire in our house
I saw the light; a fire in our house
some dude´s burned the place to the ground
went out for a jam it was seven pm
rehersed for the tour of our life
too much of the smoke
some said: now we´re broke
we´d better off to immigrate
before it is all too late
a song for the victims of pyromania
there´s a fire in our house; I saw the light
a fire in our house
they scream: there´s a fire in our house
it´s burning down; a fire in our house
that dude burned it down to the ground
a molotov coctail throught the window
the world must be mad
fighting the fire with fire
so hear what I say; where are your feelings?
what have you done? there´s a fire in our house
me and the boys; we looked throught the funeral pyre
a song for the starlight
tumbling down but why?
there´s a fire in our house; no sun at night
a fire in our house
they scream: there´s i fire in our house
I saw the light
a fire in our house
fire in our house
Lost and gone, traces found; evil souls and evil hearts
Lost in the twilight, the day can't be found; heathens of the holy ground
They are lying; the prince of the dark says it's time to come home
Evil injections go straight through the heart, people with the Devil's mark
It is rising, the kingdom of pleasure and eternal pain
Set them free, soon they'll have to see
No one can be blind when he stands by the masters of
Hell and Heaven
[Chorus:]
To burn in the fire and flame again and again
Two people of lust in the unbroken chain
In the fire and flame, no light in the black
Into the pyre of man; fire and flame
Fire and flame
Satan is anxious he wants to come home, virgin of the holy man
They are strangers; thousands will gather to pray in their names
Set them free, soon they'll have to see
Maybe they will find a haven somewhere in between
Hell and Heaven
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Johansson / Haglund]
In the picture of the soldier
In a world that's getting colder
Colors balms for my kind
Some were looking for this haven
Rumors blowing in the wind
Oh please, let me stay for a while
They came across the water
To escape from the slaughter
I took my chance but I wnted to pay
A poor boy has to lose; it's black, white and grey
There was fear in their eyes
There was blood on the walls
I can still recall
All the fear in their eyes
When their world had to fall
There was fear in their eyes
No medication from a doctor
Could ever heal this broken man
I needed someone to hold
The purgatory of life
Brought the violence to my heart
Sorry babe; forgive me babe
Now I'm gone
My execration
Of the world that rules the nation
I'm not a boy, I stand equal to God
Don't need any money
I do what I want
There was fear in their eyes
There was blood on the walls
I can still recall
All the fear in their eyes
When their world had to fall
It was in their eyes
[Solo: Haglund]
For the king and the castle
For the knight of the swords
I will march out to war
They are dying there; dying there
But the pain has been here for so long
Determination of my home land
The Promised Land
I too my chance but I wanted to pay
A poor boy has to lose; it's black, white and grey
There was fear in their eyes
There was blood on the walls
I can still recall
All the fear in their eyes
When their world had to fall
I saw fear in your eyes
A strange noise; this can not be right
I toss and i turn; I live and I learn
lost and lonely tomorrow
now my bliss and my sorrow
who´s to blame? the soul enterprise
A fool´s trial behind enemy lines
with no lawyer
my demons are for real
white noise
stuck inthe twilight zone
I deram in white
white noise
electric voices; lost in paradise
won´t leave you behind, I still hear the sigh
waves in the air, the devil may care
are you real or illusion?
got no final conclusion
a minefield; the godforsaken side
a brave long ride, won´t lead you
through nothing but sorrow
and men are´nt made of steel
white noise
stuck inthe twilight zone
I deram in white
white noise
electric voices; lost in paradise
a brave long ride won´t lead you
through nothing but sorrow
and men are´nt made of steel
a fool´s trial behind enemy lines
with no lawyer
my demons are for real
why? why did you have to die?
I still can hear
white noise
stuck in the twilight zone
I dream in white
white noise
electric voices
lost in paradise
Heavy thoughts in the dark
Hell on earth for the man without a heart
Suicide worth a try; let the sky fall down
All alone forever lost like the stranded
On the shore where specters cry
[Chorus:]
Evil spirits fly, you can't hold on
There's nowhere to hide
When evil spirits fly above us all
Forever and ever, forever and ever more
What is life, what is lust?
If you're stuck inside a world you cannot trust
Exorcised by the words from your poisoned mind
In the torture of the night, ask the angels
For the road to peace
[Chorus:]
Evil spirits fly, you can't hold on
There's nowhere to hide
When evil spirits fly above us all
Forever and ever, forever and ever more
[Solo]
All alone forever lost like the stranded
On the shore where specters cry
Evil, oh so evil
[Chorus:]
Evil spirits fly, you can't hold on
There's nowhere to hide
When evil spirits fly above us all
Forever and ever, forever and ever more
And we all must die, we all must die
This is the anthem of the dark
They are here again; the spirits of the dark
In the house of the holy; with the Devil's mark
Shine on; shine on; forever and forevermore
I can see it clear so please turn off the light
Making melodies and words about astral nights
Dream on; dream on; tomorrow belongs to the sun
[Chorus:]
Don't fear what you hear, salvation is near
Today's not a good day to die
Don't deny what you see; it's time to believe
The notes that we found in the ark
The anthem of the dark
Uprising from the twilight zone
The anthem of the dark
He was sentenced to oblivion
On the witches hill the madness has begun
Resurrection of the outcast; the falling one
Angel of angel; he laughed when you fell from the sky
[Chorus:]
They are here again, the spirits, the spirits of the dark
In the house of the holy; with the Devil's mark
[Solo]
Now we offer you the music of our souls
First the stone begins to bleed and then it'll start to roll
Shine on; shine on; your kingdom shall finally rise
[Johansson / Haglund / Nordlund / Roberg]
Prime time suicide; they are creatures with no rights
They are so cold; some heads are gonna roll
Wipe it off and spit it out
I know where you go
Devil or angel or heaven or steel
Got more to say
Evil is forever
In good times and despair
Evil is forever
And tomorrows luck is drifting in the air
It's the same song and nothing going wrong
In the carnage of our lives
Stand up and fight the commercialized
And you will be the last to find
Stray hound, fool around
Saints and sinners, beggars and thieves
No more to say
Evil is forever
In good times and despair
Evil is forever
And tomorrows luck is drifting in the air
So evil
[Solo: Nordlund / Haglund]
Prime time suicide; they are creatures with no rights
They are so cold; some heads are gonna roll
Wipe it off and spit it out
I know where you go
Devil or angel or heaven or steel
Got more to say
Evil is forever
In good times and despair
Evil is forever
But no one really cares
Evil is forever
It is here to ruin your day
Evil is forever
And you want to go, but one day you shall pay
So evil
Evil is forever
Evil is forever
Evil is forever
And it makes me wanna cry
Evil is forever
Soon I'm gonna die
Evil is forever
Can you hear me now?
Evil is forever
Gonna die
And the band played on
While the world was falling to pieces
It's getting dark you see
If you need light just let me know
Mr. President
We don't need your stupid lies
Making history there
I'm telling you the time is now
Cold War survivor, bless your heart
Tell your story one more time
Cold War survivor, you are the teacher now
Teach me more, teach me more
The parades at the Red Square
Under threat everyone is smiling
From the divided states
Illegal movements under ground
Mr. President
No forgiveness, no regret
Changing history there again
The time is now
Cold War survivor, bless your heart
Tell your story one more time
Cold War survivor, you are the teacher now
Teach me more, teach me more
Teach me more about the cold war
I'm entertained, am I still sane?
I'm of a breed that you will never ever tame
I know for sure, I just ignore
All the crap thrown in my face
Mr. President
We don't need your stupid lies
Making history there
You know the people said stop
Cold War survivor, bless your heart
Tell your story one more time
Cold War survivor, you are the teacher now
Teach me more, teach me more
I'm entertained, am I still sane?
I'm of a breed that you will never ever tame
I know for sure, I just ignore
All the crap thrown in my face
we´ve been running out of time
you´ve been eating up our mind
but we always try to get a little higher
you´ve been told of in the tales
how you steal what we create
like a fool in the sea of desire
no freedom, no pride, no joy
we must rise, burn the ice
lost to genocide
the cloudbreaker´s coming to find
searching a sign from the rimes
the cloudbreaker´s always around
watching the world from the sky
someone said life is a game
it´s like pleasure versus pain
open up your eyes and see the world in daylight
cause they laugh at human race
and they spit you in your face
realize they´re only prophets in a world of lies
they rule in the name of god,
bring´em down, melt their crown
lost to genocide
the cloudbreaker´s coming to find
searching a sign from the rimes
the cloudbreaker´s always around
watching the world from the sky
no freedom, no pride, no joy
we must rise, burn the ice
lost to genocide
the cloudbreaker´s coming to find
searching a sign from the rimes
the cloudbreaker´s always around
watching the world from the sky
from the sky
from the sky
-I'm a child...of rock 'n' roll-
I've climbed up the sacred mountain
I've dived in the darkest of seas
I've read the Koran and the Bible
They didn't set me free
Searched for the ??? of ???
Travelled to the temple of dawn
Was ??? by the great ???
He didn't talk to me
Cause I'm a child of rock 'n' roll
I'm a child of rock 'n' roll
I'm a child of rock 'n' roll
Get out of my way
There's a fire in my soul
In school ™ was punished to silence
At work there was nothing to say
For ages my life was a prison
I had a broken heart
My best friend said "you are crazy"
This sport will only lead you to hell
Wake up! It's better to burn out than fade away
Cause I'm a child of rock 'n' roll
I'm a child of rock 'n' roll
Yes I'm a child of rock 'n' roll
Get out of my way
There's a fire in my soul
Save me
From the people inside my soul
I am loosing control
Cause I'm a child of rock 'n' roll
I've climbed up the sacred mountain
I've dived in the darkest of seas
I've read the Khoran and the Bible
They didn't set me free
Cause I'm a child of rock 'n' roll
Child of rock 'n' roll
Yes I'm a child of rock 'n' roll
Get out of my way
There's a fire in my soul
Cause I'm a child of rock 'n' roll
Here's a song I will sing, you're a clown, I'm a king; I'm still alive
You're a fake, a disgrace, wipe that smile off your face; I'll take you down
Because some day there may be a cure for this burning
The rage in my soul, I'll be coming back for more
[Chorus:]
I'll return to the call of the wild
Cold case or a son of a gun
On my way to the place where I'll meet my maker
Won't rest 'til I die; I'll return to the call of the wild
Well I read it myself in a book by the shelf, became mesmerized
It was all about me and my wish to be free from the fools around
It's no joyride to be on the top of the mountain
The best of the art; there are enemies everywhere
[Chorus:]
I'll return to the call of the wild
Cold case or a son of a gun
On my way to the place where I'll meet my maker
Won't rest 'til I die; I'll return to the call of the wild
[Solo]
You must go, you're no good
I'm so tired of the creatures only here to ruin my world
Shut your mouth, nobody cares; this is the call of the wild
...and I'm still alive
[Chorus:]
I'll return to the call of the wild
Cold case or a son of a gun
On my way to the place where I'll meet my maker
Won't rest 'til I die; I'll return to the call of the wild
(call of the wild)
(call of the wild)
I'll return to the call of the wild
(call of the wild)
(call of the wild)
[Johansson / Nordlund / Haglund]
He's an unholy ranger, not a logical trainer
A prior and preacher with style
No one knew he was able
No one heard 'bout the chamber
In the darkest of dark
On the back side of religion
Enchanter and Judas; murderer and thief
Tempting the weak and foretold about the
Glory of heaven, it's for now and forever; you and I
The Bride of Christ
Not evil, but afraid he would leave here there behind
She's the Bride of Christ
She had been there forever and she wasn't so clever
She fell just like rain from the sky
He stood in the middle; Stan played on his fiddle
They danced in their church
To celebrate their new Messiah
Glory of heaven, it's for now and forever; you and I
The Bride of Christ
Not evil, but afraid he would leave here there behind
She's the Bride of Christ
"You can all meet Jesus.
You can all be a part of his great big family.
So come and join the army:
Be a soldier in the name of God!"
[Solo: Nordlund / Haglund]
Enchanter and Judas; murderer and thief
Tempting the weak and foretold about the
Glory of heaven, it's for now and forever; you and I
The Bride of Christ
Not evil, but afraid he would leave here there behind
She's the Bride of Christ
Glory of heaven, it's for now and forever; you and I
The Bride of Christ
Not evil, but afraid he would leave here there behind
She's the Bride of Christ
Bride of Christ
Bride of Christ
The men in the village had to bow for the Bride of Christ
Bride of Christ
Bride of Christ
The comen and children, obeying the Bride of Christ
No, no
Hear the sound of the river, it'll drag you down
You've been walking through the fire
You've been raised in misery; in the name of God
See the rage of the water and prepare to drown
Like the wounded wants a doctor, son you really need a boat
To stay alive as nature's running wild
[Chorus:]
Blood River; sail away
When you see the light, the time has come to pay
Blood River
You may try to run, they'll find you anyway
By the shore someone's laughing; now it's you against the world
They've been lying they have cheated, made a wasteland of the earth
without knowing why the innocent must die
[Chorus:]
Blood River; sail away
When you see the light, the time has come to pay
Blood River
You may try to run, they'll find you anyway
Life is not a fairytale; life is not a game to play
longing for last goodbye, waiting for the final trial
[Solo]
[Chorus:]
Blood River; sail away
When you see the light, the time has come to pay
Blood River
fly away; enola gay
carrying the bomb of judgement day
in their minds they knew it too well
angels sent from hell
the empire strikes; pacific surprise
harbour's on fire, a fatal advice
victory; the world is at stake
a bound that no one could break
land of the rising sun
everyone; waiting for the rain
atomic clouds
black rain
black rain
Hiroshima; drowning in black rain
a burning child; still alive
seek the river; for the final dive
bodies floating out to the sea
into eternity
all lost in flames, panic and pain
the day turned to night, but here comes the rain
they all drank to borrow some time
radiated cries
home for samurai
they're warriors; waiting for the rain
atomic clouds
black rain
black rain
Hiroshima; drowning in black rain
Hiroshima
black rain
Hiroshima
land of the rising sun
everyone; waiting for the rain
atomic clouds
black rain
nuclear dust
black rain; they saw it coming down
black rain; over Hiroshima
black rain, coming from heaven
drinking the black rain
When you were young
A fugitive always on the run
Washing your hands in blood
Looking for the danger
Sleeping with a fallen angel, stranger
Open up your arms and dont ever let me go
Hold me, hold me
All the tears in my eyes are real
You are the only one
Wont you tell me how it feels to live a lie?
Save me, save me
Im a bastard son
And Ill never let you go
The days are my nights
Your shadow will always be around
Keep me from the gun
Whats your contribution?
Life is just a grand illusion, dreaming
Dont you wake me up
Theres so much for me to lose
Hold me, hold me
All the tears in my eyes are real
You are the only one
Wont you tell me how it feels to live a lie?
Save me, save me
Im a bastard son
And now Im coming home
Did you try to do the right
Did you put up a fight for your own child?
I was born to this world and I wont live forever a lie
Chorus
Bastard son
Im the bastard son and now Im coming home
Sail away on a ship across the sea
Sail away to the dreams you stil believe
But you'll never; never ever find home
Wrong; they all are wrong
I've seen the future virtualized
A vision of doom; no place to run
Fraud, life is a fraud
They are the cult of the cross
Deliver us, enemies of sanctuary
I've tried so many times to learn about the dark
The end of days I feel; apocalypse revealed
Say you will be the one to break the seventh seal
A study in black; it's the last appeal
Apocalypse revealed
Out of your cell you might discover
That there's a psychic tower
Deep inside of everyone
It's out of our sight, erased the sun
Chains; it still remains
No more invisible trails, God has failed
Buried with his foolish pride
Pale's the faceless driver out of seven mortal lies
My future is surreal; apocalypse revealed
Say you will be the one to break the seventh seal
The final eclipse; it's the last appeal
Apocalypse revealed
Freedom at last
Heathen hearts, you fools must bow
Solo: Nordlund
Falling down from your spot in universe
Faded out; after this it won't be worse
But we'll never, never ever
Take that they are wrong, they all are wrong
They are the cult of the cross
Deliver us; enemies of sanctuary
I've tried so many times
To learn about the dark
The end of days I feel; apocalypse revealed
Say you will be the one to break the seventh seal
A study in black; it's the last appeal
Apocalypse
Take me to the river and tomorrow's shore
Travel me through tunnels in the mines of war
Apocalypse, the last eclipse
Lead me from temptations from a world of flesh
Mental incarnation; will it stand in the test of time?
Well I know it was a tale, but I also know that I will never learn
So the story of my life is a lie and my fortune will never turn
I know I'll burn
Since the dawn of the days
I have looked for the fire within
It's not a penny from the blood red sky
The talisman, my loving light
Heaven is calling
Candles burning in the night
Now and forever
Now you got to help me find
My lost crucifix
Help me find
My lost crucifix
My lost crucifix
On the road to the damned
I have walked on the path of my life
It wasn't easy but I'd go again
Nightmares of insanity
Satan is laughing
Show me just another sign
Now and forever
Now you got to help me find
So the coming of the light was a scene played in my deepest sleep
The secret of my life is a promise no one could ever keep
You know, the talisman, my loving light
Satan is laughing
Candles burning in the night
Now and forever
Now you got to help me find
My lost, my lost, lost crucifix
Help me find, I'm dying, I'm dying
Hail Mother Mary, the right way is scary
Stay out; I will beware
Hail Mother Mary, the loving and caring
I stand on the edge of the stair
Fast rolls on the wheels to the future so bright
We're struck; we are
The raiders of the ark
The race is on
Raiders of the ark
I know it's a pity; the lack of desire now
An urge for salvation, alarming for the nation
Fraud is everywhere
Eternal damnation, abusing the treasure
The gospels in the air
Sacred my task though we're leaving this earth
Fall out, we are
The raiders of the ark
The race is on
Raiders of the ark
I know it's a pity; the lack of delight
Blessed be thy child in the black of the night
The spirit's still alive
Shelter from the world never doing what is right
We fear the dark; we're raiders of the ark
[1st solo: Nordlund]
[2nd solo: Haglund]
I cry for the human race
Left another trace
Looking for the ark an endless race
We see but we are blind
Guess we'll never find
The treasure with the rimes
'Cause we walk on the water, we play it again
Too late; we are
The raiders of the ark
The race is on
Raiders of the ark
Rain and fire; taking me higher
Ice and snow; take me home
You know we are searching in the dark
City of David, kingdom of Israel
King Solomon built the holy temple on mount Muriah
Alexander the Great of Macedonia
Then the emperor of Rome
Crusaders, Arabians
Broke down the people
Their will to survive
It's a part of the real world
What's here to live has to die
A holy city you are
Like a light in the far
Home of the holy men
You are the key of mankind
The rock must roll again
Nothing has changed, this war will go on and on
Victims of wrath in memory forevermore
There by the dome of the rock and the western wall
Father forgive what they've done
Foundations about to fall
What can be sacred?
Is there an end?
This is an ocean of stories
They're just a part of the plan
A holy city you are
Like a light in the far
Home of the holy men
You are the key of mankind
The rock must roll again
What is right, what is wrong?
I just don't know
We should learn how to play
'cause no one is here to stay
Light to the people
They will survive
It's a part of the real world
And the hatred must die
A holy city you are
Like a light in the far
Home of the holy men
A holy city you are
Like a light in the far
Home of the holy men
You are the key of mankind
It's time to prepare for the attack
This land is forever the darkest of black
We will never, never, ever back down
Start the blitz, who is blix?
The head of the UN inspectors
They're liars and traitors
We speak for the free world
Not commiting a crime
Attack, and then we shall protect
Operation freedom is here
We're saving Iraq
Attack, let's wring that evil neck
Ready to fight in the name of freedom
This was right, I am stronger than steel
Though my friends say that I have deceived my belief
I'm not breaking, shaking, quaking
'cause I can justifiy all my lies
My conscience is clean ask the people
Unenlightened by purpose
The fraud of the century
Not commiting a crime
Attack, and then we shall protect
Operation freedom is here
We're saving Iraq
Attack, let's wring that evil neck
Live and let die in the name of freedom
Revenge of the failure
A gift to your father
Have I been a good boy?
Now I'm drinking the night away
Working on the suicide rime
There's no reason for one more season
Sharing what is mine
Here you are, my final spell
God is great but I guess I'll see you in hell
There we can ride the flames
The eternal wishing well
You are a lying thief
But I guess I'll see you in hell
My second name is a big mistake
Frantic like a merry go round
Mind intrusion, brain pollution
Suicidal rime
Life or death, it's all the same
Turn your back, but I guess I'll see you in hell
There we can ride the flames
The eternal wishing well
You are a lying thief
But I guess I'll see you in hell
But I guess I'll see you in hell
My suicide rime, my suicide rime
Here you are, my final spell
You've heard it
The story of my life
Slaves under lock in the seventh crusade
This war won't stop, it's of heaven made
Soldiers of the seventh crusade
So many say it's the crusaders fault
The world is upside down
But as you know they only did what they'd been told
Couldn't realize it was forever, on and on
They were knights on the seventh crusade
Blood from a rock
Knights on the seventh crusade
Slaves under lock, this war won't stop
So what is Jesus for the common man?
Muhammad's dear old friend
I wonder what they think abouth these infernal fights
Are we all infected souls of evil?
Yes we are
There is a place on a higher ground
Where angel's play, heavenly sound
Get embraced by the great one's might
We're gonna shine like fire, fire light
This is a time of pure disharmony
And man is killing man
So for a thousand years time has been standing still
I guess this holy war will last forever, on and on
What is left to say?
Are you on your way to the seventh crusade?
Seventh crusade
To the seventh crusade
Seventh crusade
Knights on the seventh
The time is here to say goodbye
Welcome to heaven my friend
Damage done the war is won
This time I know it will end
Walk the walk, try to practice what you preach
Talk the talk, your rage must be unleashed
Crawl right back into your hole
If you can't look into my eyes
A ghost in the shadows
A symbol of what's sacred
Betrayed at last
Slaughtered by a sin for his sins
Cry out loud, it's the day after yesterday
Black storm cloud will rage in the day after yesterday
Yesterday
The night was young but we were old
See you at the gates of hell
What's the word out on the streets?
Do prophets have something to say?
Break out, get rid of your heavy chains
Think about all the lethal aliens
We're all puppets on a string
Doing what we have been told
The man in the mirror
A portrait of yourself
Congratulate
Our freedom is stronger than pain
Don't need much
Walk the walk
Try to practice what you preach
You are gone
Guess I'll see you at the gates of hell
Still a ghost in the shadows
A symbol of what's sacred
Betrayed at last
Slaughtered by a sin for his sin
By a sin for his sin
Betrayed at last
Thousands were summoned, to protect their land
Flag of their fathers, dear old uncle sam
This is the day the training must pay
The enemy's here, we all know
The futures and pasts nothing will last
It's a nightmare but for real
Run away, madness arising
Run away, eastern eruption, out of the sky
Pearl Harbor
Attack of the island in the sun
Pearl Harbor
The battle was lost
But the war was won
Warhawks and zeroes, evil in the air
Death in the water, dead bodies everywhere
Dragged into war, that big ugly whore
So vicious so greedy and dark
It's just like today, the poor has to pay
For the stripes and shining stars
No more fear, surf on the fire
Raging flames burning inside this last samurai
Run away, madness arising
Run away, eastern eruption, out of the sky
Pearl Harbor
Set me free
Pearl Harbor
Don't come out of your bunker
It's your dungeon, and your hell
Chasing the rainbow you searched all your life
The cradle of time, no one to sanctify
Arabian nights, the oriental ways
But still they shine on
[Chorus:]
Freedom's not found on the trail out of tears
And no one should live as a slave
You can not fight 'gainst your deepest of fears
It's written by nature of man
In the ocean of sand
Now you say you're Messiah,
None can just were you dwell
Searching the mountain, they seek underground
Hate are forever and traitors must die
Arabian nights, nomad affairs
True believers
If there's a sweet heartbreaker
You'd really try to make her
You're a loaded son of a gun
Go if your ground is shaking
And everyone is quaking
I will never, never, never let you down
Rock 'n' roll was made for children
For the kids in the heat of the night
In Rock we trust, you'll never stand alone
[Chorus:]
I'm the Man on the rock
The man on the rock
Like Jesus Christ
If you come up to my mountain to visit the apostle
You'll be King though just for a day
And there'll be music playing
While everyone is praying
And I will never be the one to let you down
Rock 'n' roll was made for children
For the kids in the heat of the night
Come winter, come rain, come permanent pain
This time I'm in charge of this runaway train
A vision one night; so clear and so bright
Can you feel me? Please believe me
Let the astral projection begin
By the earth and the moon
Now I'm leaving this body of sin
I will see you
With a stranger's eye
On the other side
I'm watching the age of aquarius
With a stranger's eye
Transcendental ride
Look at yourself
With a stranger's eye
True wisdom you seek, well, that's how you speak
You're stuck to the master like a dog with a leash
With me you'll be safe, you don't have to be brave
We're all children of universe
Meditation brings peace to your mind
By the wind and the sun
The dark spirits are left far behind
I will heal you
What is the meaning of life if you fear?
What is the point keep on breathing when nobody cares?
Come winter, come rain, come permanent pain
This time I'm in charge of this runaway train
With me you'll be safe, you don't have to be brave
We're all children of universe
Let the astral projection begin
By the wind and the sun
The dark spirits are left far behind
I will heal you
With a strangers eye
With a strangers eye
With a strangers eye
A cold winter night, the moon gave us light
No, no, no, no, no
Salves to desire, no fear in our eyes
Something tells me, no
Gave away our souls to the maker
Made a deal with the taker
To be or not to be
[Chorus:]
Burn down the wheel, burn down the wheel
Like a star in the night made of steel
Burn down the wheel, burn down the wheel
I go higher, with no wire, Is this for real?
Burning down the wheel
The game of the chase, get down with the race
Down, down, down, down, down
This madness of power, to rule and devour
Down, it'll drag you down
We're slave out of speed, made of fire
Were born on the road, and we'll die there
I'm free, we all are free
Well, is there someone who can tell?
And is there someone who can cast the spell away?
Say you can, I'll be damned, walk on the water
Saladin had to win
They were lambs on their way to slaughter
In the name of the Lord
They were fighting in rage
Not a glorious state
A bloody holy war
Why?
It's a struggle but no one is sorry
Why?
We are ready to do it again
March, we're going out to war
Like shelter from the storm
The battle of Jacob's Ford
March, their fundaments will break
The ground about to shake
In the battle of Jacob's Ford
Sacrifice under the sun
On the dunes of sand they did what had to be done
In the search of the grail
It's a task no one knows
By the honor of God
Another broken law
Why?
It's a minds game but no one is asking
Why?
And they do it again and again
Heaven is lost, a picture inside
Bury the bleeding, comfort the blind
Heaven is just a servant of hell, we're all fools
Heaven is lost, a picture inside
Bury the bleeding, comfort the blind
Heaven is just a servant of hell
We're all fools in life's wishing well
Well, is there someone who can tell?
And is there someone who can cast the spell away?
Say you can, I'll be damned, walk on the water
Saladin had to win
They were lambs on their way to
Is there someone who can tell?
Is there someone who can tell me
Is there someone?
Is there someone?
Rise
Babylon rise
I'm the whore of Babylon, come to me I'll sing my song
Prophets try to analyze, am I a tale or antichrist?
Unleash the great sin of Sodom and Gomorrah
Jackals and hounds out on the prowl
Protect yourself, need no one else
Children, unite, let me be your friend
The mother of harlots I am
Babylon rise
Evil is forever
Babylon rise
The resurrection is here
Feed yourself and no one else, the symptom of the world today
Hell is god and god is great, join me now in the fire lake
Democracy's a fake
Say welcome to destruction
A permanent chaos here to unfold
Intolerance and ignorance
Madness divide
Army's on the shore
The lonely invader for sure
Babylon rise
Evil is forever
Babylon rise
The new revelation is here
The mother of harlots I am
Unleash the great sin
The Babylon whore will be a friend of mine
Rise, rise, rise
Don't have to ask myself
Rise
Am I a god or antichrist?
Unleash the great sin of Sodom and Gomorrah
Jackals and hounds out on the prowl
Protect yourself, need no one else
Children, unite
Let me be your friend
In prison for life, the price to pay
For holding the knife, that gruesome day
In prison for life, I live to die
I'm in prison, in prison for life
Facing Armageddon
Violent revelation
Why? Can't someone tell me how?
Be merciful and mild
It's terminal, there's no way back
I'm on the run, the run now, babe
Can't you see that if true
Well, I'm in prison for life, I had to pay
For holding the knife, that gruesome day
In prison for life, I live to die
Lost all my rights
I'm in prison, in prison for life
Come here, humanizer
Blue sky, new horizons
I was crawling, I was drained
Sent shockwaves through my brain
Eternal dark, forever lost
And oh, I'm slipping away, away now babe
Now, can't you see it's true
I'm standing alone, alone now, babe
So let me die in piece
'Cause I'm in prison for life, the price to pay
For holding the knife, that gruesome day
In prison for life, I live to die
Lost all my rights
We look upon the man of twilight
Forever damned to holy ground
Behind the walls it's black, but evil shines
And none can leave until it's done
Strangers in our eyes
They walk in shaped of God
Hear me now, cast away your pride
[Chorus:]
Be wise, hear the unholy rime
Loud and clear of the Son and the Father
Inside the sanctum of crime be wise
In the name of the Father he lies
The momentary act of treason
Against the sacred calf he found
Sent off the biggest rock, to roll the world
And I won't stop until it's done
Stranger in your eyes
They walk in shapes of God
