In the 21st Century, it's gonna take one man and his blades to save the world from another man...and HIS blades.
In the future, the streets will belong to the Rollerboys.
Better say your prayers, boy... they're coming.
Gary Lee: [opening narration, which also turns out to be a PATTON-esque Rollerboy-recruiting commercial] Before many of you were born, our parents caused the Great Crash. They were consumed with greed. They ignored repeated warnings, and borrowed more money than they could ever repay. They lost our farms, lost our factories, lost our homes. Alien races foreclosed on our nation while we... We were locked in homeless camps. Now America belongs to the enemy. Forget your parents. They didn't care about us. We are the New Generation, and we are the Remedy. You need a new family, a family that cares. The Rollerboys care. Join with us. Let us be your Strength. Let us be your Warriors. Help the White Army win back our homeland. The Day of the Rope is coming.
Griffin: [afterGriffin and Miltie have joined the Rollerboys, much to Speedbagger's obvious dismay] Speedbagger... Don't hate me, okay?::Speedbagger: I don't hate nobody, son. Hate's the root of all evil... And evil's goddamn tempting, ain't it...? I just hope there's something left of what I saw in you two boys.::Griffin: Well, we love you very much.::Speedbagger: I don't want your LOVE! I just want you to THINK about what you're DOING! Please!
Gary Lee: [performs the Rollerboy-Induction Ceremony for Griffin] Hail Griffin, our newest Brother...! Griffin is now of the Dragon! His Rage is the Breath of the Dragon! And his Fire shall consume the infestation that has crippled America! If the White Army is to fulfill its divine purpose, we must have a homeland! Those who would deny us, they are the enemy, and they shall perish! We are your Strength, and we are your Warriors! The Future Is Ours!
Gary Lee: [at a Rollerboy office-building, he explains to Griffin why the Rollerboys don't use their own designer-drugs] I am very strict on this: We have to remain pure. Let the others indulge their weaknesses.::Griffin: Why sell it, then?::Gary Lee: Because we have to, for now; It's just a phase. Besides, some people just aren't worth saving... Do you remember when we were kids? Blood Brothers? Penknife and a couple drops of blood?::Griffin: Yeah... We're lucky we didn't get tetanus, huh?::Gary Lee: It's more serious now. Once in, never out. That's how we live. But you ought to know, I have this thing about betrayers... They tick me off.::Griffin: ...Sounds fair to me.
Griffin: [upon discovering that he's been helping the Rollerboys beat up Speedbagger] Don't touch him again. Get your hands off him.::Gary Lee: Back off! I like a man who stands by his friends...::Griffin: Why the Speedbagger?::Gary Lee: ...You just can't have friends like THAT.
Bullwinkle: [at Gary Lee's office building, he and Bullwinkle are interviewing Griffin as a potential Rollerboy] I have one more question, Griffin: when and why did you change your mind about us, all of a sudden? [Griffin levels an empty assault rifle at him]::Griffin: ...I *never* changed my mind about *you*. [he passes the rifle to Bullwinkle]::Gary Lee: Same old Griffin, huh? Good to have you with us...! You'll have to excuse Bullwinkle; he's terribly loyal, just not very sophisticated.
In a Lawless Land Ruled by the Gun, He's the Law.

One of these days, he'll make a hell of an officer.::Bright Water, Jake Flagg's Daughter: A blue belly?::Matt Dillon: A blue belly who near got himself killed lookin' out for you.
Matt Dillon: You know, Kitty, it's really been good seeing you again. Maybe when all this is over and I get back... [his sentence is incomplete as Kitty responds]::Kitty Russell: I'll be here. [as Matt closes the door behind him] Aren't I always?
Kitty Russell: No woman ever loved a man more than I loved Matt Dillon.
Matt Dillon: Glad ya came. You're lookin' great.::Kitty Russell: You cut that out.::Matt Dillon: What?::Kitty Russell: You listen to me, cowboy. I've got you out from underneath my fingernails and you're gonna stay out. Do you hear me?::Matt Dillon: Yes, ma'am...

The watt ( /ˈwɒt/ WOT; symbol: W) is a derived unit of power in the International System of Units (SI), named after the Scottish engineer James Watt (1736–1819). The unit, defined as one joule per second, measures the rate of energy conversion or transfer.
) is the SI derived unit of electrical resistance.
The watt is named after the Scottish scientist James Watt for his contributions to the development of the steam engine. The unit was recognized by the Second Congress of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1882. The 11th General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1960 adopted it for the measurement of power into the International System of Units (SI).
The femtowatt is equal to one quadrillionth (10−15) of a watt. Technologically important powers that are measured in femtowatts are typically found in reference(s) to radio and radar receivers. For example, meaningful FM tuner performance figures for sensitivity, quieting and signal-to-noise require that the RF energy applied to the antenna input be specified. These input levels are often stated in dBf (decibels referenced to 1 femtowatt). This is 0.2739 microvolt across a 75 ohm load or 0.5477 microvolt across a 300 ohm load; the specification takes into account the RF input impedance of the tuner.
Reggie Watts (born March 23, 1972) is a Brooklyn-based comedian and musician. His shows are mostly improvised and consist of stream of consciousness stand-up in various shifting personae, mixed with loop pedal-based a cappella compositions. He performs regularly on television, radio, and in live theater. His comic skills come into play in improvisational performance, as well as performance of written music.
Born in Germany as Reginald Lucien Frank Roger Watts, Watts is the only child of Christiane and Charles Alphonso Watts; his mother is French and his father is African-American. His father was an officer in the United States Air Force and the family lived in Germany and Spain before relocating to Great Falls, Montana, where Watts was raised and graduated from Great Falls High School. Watts also took piano and violin lessons from the age of five until he was 16.
Watts moved to Seattle at age 18 where he briefly attended the Art Institute of Seattle before eventually studying jazz at Cornish College of the Arts. He went on to play in a number of Seattle bands of wildly varying styles/genres, including Hit Explosion, Swampdweller, Action Buddy, Chiarrscuro, Clementine, Smell No Taste, Wayne Horvitz 4+1 Ensemble, Das Rut, Synthclub, Elemental, Eyvand Kang Seven Nades, Free Space, etc. He became the front man for soul, rock, and hip hop group Maktub, with whom he has recorded five albums.
Benjamin Brian Thomas Watt (born 6 December 1962, Barnes, London) is a British musician, DJ, and record producer, best known as one half of the duo, Everything but the Girl.
Watt is the son of British bandleader Tommy Watt and has four half brothers and sisters. He is the youngest of the family. Watt lives with his spouse and creative partner Tracey Thorn in Hampstead, North London. They met at Hull University in 1981 and after 28 years as a couple, in 2009, they married at the Chelsea Registry Office. They have twin daughters, Jean and Alfie, born in 1998, and a son, Blake, born in 2001.
Watt began recording in 1981 on the indie label Cherry Red - and went on to make the album North Marine Drive, a collection of folk-jazz solo recordings in 1983. He then joined forces with vocalist Tracey Thorn. For 18 years they wrote and recorded together - creating nine studio albums as Everything but the Girl (EBTG), signing to Warners in 1984, and then Virgin in 1995. These albums and many of their singles achieved UK and US chart success, the song "Missing" reaching number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1995. In the mid-nineties, the band shifted focus from alt-pop towards electronica, charting with Walking Wounded, Protection (with Massive Attack), Temperamental and other work.
David Jon Gilmour,CBE (born 6 March 1946) is an English rock musician and multi-instrumentalist who is best known as the guitarist, one of the lead singers and main songwriters in the progressive rock band Pink Floyd. It is estimated that as of 2010, the group have sold over 250 million records worldwide, including 74.5 million units sold in the United States.
In addition to his work with Pink Floyd, Gilmour has worked as a producer for a variety of artists, and has enjoyed a successful career as a solo artist. Gilmour has been actively involved with many charities over the course of his career.
In 2003, he was appointed CBE for his charity work and was awarded with the Outstanding Contribution title at the 2008 Q Awards. In 2011, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him number 14 in their list of the greatest guitarists of all time.
Gilmour was born in Cambridge, England. His father, Douglas Gilmour, was a senior lecturer in zoology at the University of Cambridge and his mother, Sylvia (née Wilson), was a teacher and film editor who raised her family at Grantchester Meadows, later immortalised by a Roger Waters song on Pink Floyd's Ummagumma. He has a younger brother who is also a musician.
Bernard Joseph Butler (born 1 May 1970, Stamford Hill, North London) is an English musician and record producer. He first emerged in the early Britpop era with Suede. He has been hailed by some critics as the greatest guitarist of his generation, as well as one of Britain's most original and influential guitarists. He was voted the 24th greatest guitarist of the last 30 years in a national 2010 BBC poll.
He first achieved fame in 1992 as the guitarist with Suede, forging a songwriting partnership with Brett Anderson, at the time an instant phenomenon in UK pop music. He co-wrote and played guitars on every track until 1994, when he exited Suede, leaving behind the Mercury Music Prize winning debut Suede, as well as the follow-up Dog Man Star.
In 1994 Butler formed the duo McAlmont and Butler with David McAlmont. They released two singles, "Yes" and "You Do". A compilation album, The Sound of McAlmont and Butler, was released after the split. He went on to release two solo albums under his own name, People Move On and Friends and Lovers on Creation Records yielding the hit single "Stay". In 2001 Butler teamed up with McAlmont for a second McAlmont and Butler album, Bring it Back, touring the UK with two singles, "Falling" and "Bring it Back".
In The Darkness
Why am I here now
What have I done
Running on empty- I got nowhere to run
Can't get an answer
Can't get it right
Just try to make it
'till the end of the night
Is there a way to avoid doing wrong
Lead me away from the darkness
Light up my day show me where I belong
Please don't leave me all alone in the darkness
Far in the distance
There is night, there is day
Sounds are waving nets of dismay
Sometimes I'm stuck in a shocking delay
Like in a slow motion movie
I'm reaching out for something to hold
Life slips away in the cold- in the cold
My heart is so cold- my heart is so cold
Why was I turned down
What's going on
I wish there was something that could have been done
How can I get there
Where is the light
How can I make it
'till the end of the night
How can I turn darkness to light
Leaving my fear in the darkness
Is there a way how can I overcome
My restless night's and my fear- and my fear
In the darkness- in the darkness- in the darkness
Thunder In The Tower
Well, the lightning flashed at midnight
And the dogs did howl along
You don't believe it - unless you've seen it
It was the night the thunder broke
There is no more creation
No room for good - no hope
You better cry for salvation - as
The reaper dangled by the rope
A scream for help - the morning after
They'd equalised the score
And in their minds - there's only laughter
A smile - without a cause
And there was thunder in the tower
As the cat crept out
There was thunder in the tower
There's no escape - no doubt
It's been the night the birds were silent
And the town was deadly still
A curling lip - an icy grip
'n' bony fingers that can kill
Assembling in the tower
The payment bloody high
They tried to cheat their final hour
He's gonna get them eye to eye
And there was thunder in the tower
Screaming silence in the air
There was thunder in the tower
Awesome power ev'rywhere
And there was thunder in the tower
They didn't care it's right or wrong
There was thunder in the tower
And the reaper came along
No Limits
One life - never been a riddle
Black nights - live it to the max
It's all extremely done
No way - to colonise the middle
Ride hard - desperadoes at your back
Under a blood red sun
In this world - up to us
We stand or we fall - yeah
We got no limits - no hideaway
We got no limits - live today
We got no limits - the way to stay
We got no limits - no limits all the way
Gear up - life is what we make it
Rock hard - shaft it to the top
We've only just begun
Sun's up - we're gonna do some shakin'
Break out - we give it all we got
Make way 'cause here we come
In this world we decide
To answer the call - yeah
Power'n'riches'n'rank
Mean nothing at all
Render the game to the end
Once and for all - once and for all - yeah
We got no limits - no hideaway
We got no limits - live today
We got no limits - the only way to stay
We got no limits
Ev'rybody live the life
Can't Get Enough
Again it's around seven
I'm burning like a candlelight
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm ready for this night
You'd better run for cover
Before I start to smile
No way there's time for wasting
Never walk in a line
Never walk in a line
Oh yeah
And I just keep going
Forget these boring times
And I'm hungry for desire
No way to live in a line
You'd better run for cover
Before I start to smile
No way there's time for wasting
Never walk in a line
Reckless and mean I'm ruling the scene - I never get enough
Acting the night - I'm gone with the light - I can't
get enough
I never get enough
Again it's around seven
I'm burning like a candlelight
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm ready for this night
Reckless and mean I'm ruling the scene - I never get enough
Acting the night - I'm gone with the light - I can't
get enough
Reckless and mean I'm ruling the scene - I never get enough
Acting the night - I'm gone with the light - I can't
get enough
I never get enough

He would be just like us
We think he knows of madness
Who says he's got to be real

A sin is not the only way
But that's how it seems to be
We are timebombs- cold killing machines

The world is spitting fire
On sun and moon and stars
It can't be our desire
Writing the rules on the wall
We can't wait another day
Where do we go from here
A sin is not the only way
But that's how it seems to be
We are timebombs- cold killing machines
We are timebombs- cold killing machines

Freelance Man
You are a nothing and deceased
You ain't alive at all
Don't try to be sensible
I'll bang your head on the wall
I got no time to be locked in
I'm a dangerous son
You're always second
I'm the number one
Hail the battle
Take a bow
Monumental
Gonna stand my ground
I'm gonna stand my ground
'cause I'm a freelance man
I ain't walking I ain't talking tonight
Heart of steel - twisted feel - I'm no easy ride
You will never ever lock me up tight
'cause I'm a freelance man
And I'm breaking and I'm taking tonight
No mistake - don't dictate - I'm no easy ride
Don't you never ever lock me up tight
I'm always doing what I please
I'm always having a ball
You make me contemptible
I'll bury you in a hole
It's better you to be locked in
I'll be a terrible guard
You'll never matter
I'm still the number one
Hail the battle, ...
Turn on your brain before you talk
It was no secret what I am
You rue the day - you've been done over
I'm just a freelance man
One Step To Fate
Now it's time to break the spell
Future's written down
Is it tears or happiness
What's your fate - time will tell
Is it left or is it right
Elect the road you'll take
Will you see the other side
Take a ride - take a ride to see
There's no excuses if it's badness
So many ways it can go wrong
And if it happens to be gladness
Then you can say that you have won
That you have won
One step to fate - why don't you follow me
One step to fate - I know it's near
One step to fate - no power's over me
One step to fate - it only takes one step to fate
The time is now it's make or break
The turning of the tide
This is the way it has to be
Live your life to the edge
Could be bad you know it might
The mission's under way
Now you've reached the other side
Open up - open up your eyes
No more excuses if it's badness
So many ways that have gone wrong
Not always happens to be gladness
Which ever way you know you've won
You know you've won
With a touch of sadness
Dreams can fade away
Laughter is my passion
Never cried away
Break The Rules
Everything is wrong, yet they all deny it
But the time will come, when they can't hide it
Somebody says hey man- what's up with you
I say 'just make way' cause I'm sick of you
Sick 'n tired of no good two faced liars
Buck here- buck there, that's their sole desire
Leaders always put your life in fear
I don't wanna see the world disappear
You got to burn it up- burn it up tonight
Cause the time has come for us- to put it right
You gotta break the rules, so keep the aces high
Break the rules- break the rules
Burn 'em down with fire
No good thinking you don't have the power
Cause it's coming soon it's gonna be our finest hour
All I do is smile because I've been thru this before
I know just how to play this game- I'm kicking down your door
You got to burn it up- burn it up tonight...
You gotta break the rules, so keep the aces high
Break the rules- break the rules
Burn 'em down with fire
You gotta break the rules, so keep the aces high
Break the rules- break the rules
Burn 'em down with fire
[SOLO]
You gotta break the rules...
Warrior
Wasn't there a time
When no one lived in pain
Zero down to zero
But a warrior
The innocence of birth
The power of the earth
Out of all that's good
Comes a warrior
Time- is it you who changes minds
Suing us- for something we've not done
Stealing the heroes- all the guiding lights, to find the way
Justice has been gone
To pieces for so long
Some killers call themselves
A warrior
Warriors with no pride
Committing suicide
The picture of a man
That's your warrior
'cause he's a warrior
Yes, he's a warrior
He fights for peace and freedom
'cause he's a warrior
Yes, he's a warrior
He fights for peace and freedom
Think about the time
Where manhood promised pride
And history was made
Just by warriors
We have to face the world
And hope that someone's heard
Who could replace a man
Like the warrior
'cause he's a warrior
Yes, he's a warrior
He fights for peace and freedom
'cause he's a warrior
Yes, he's a warrior
He fights for peace and freedom
Time- is it you who changes minds
Suing us- for something we've not done
Stealing the heroes- all the guiding lights, to find the way
'cause he's a warrior
Yes, he's a warrior
He fights for peace and freedom
'cause he's a warrior
Yes, he's a warrior
He fights for peace and freedom
'cause he's a warrior..........
Animal House
Morning is breaking with death on the street
Driving downtown in a red corvette
The daemons and satans are creeping around
LA nights are madhouse nights
The murderers- are heroes
They're speeding all over the town
And justice- is drunken
I'm tumbling upside down
I'm a madman
Living in an animal house
I'm a madman
Living in an animal house
Living in an animal house
Rockers in concert are serving the bible
Praying in public is getting a habit
For selling out everything seems to be right, oh yeah
The sunset is crowded with tramps passing out
They're sleeping- in trash cans
There's witchcraft in everyone's eyes
Satans and daemons
All dressed up in suits and ties
I'm a madman
Living in an animal house
I'm a madman
Living in an animal house
Madman- going crazy- living in an animal house
I'm a madman...

The Arbiter
We lie and cheat the game
Corruption's everywhere
We try to buy our justice
Lies are hard to beat
When our days are over
Cross the great divide
The final day is coming
He knows wrong from right
Cut out the way it has been done
Just keep the fear inside
Nowhere to hide nowhere to run
Your life is on the line
Take the word of the arbiter
He always gets it right
Take the word of the arbiter
If it's left or if it's right
With him there's no objection
You can't have a deal
The word he says is final
Punishment's for real
Talking - never moves
You hear it in your head
Body shaken terror
And he cuts you dead
Take the word of the arbiter
His word s always right
Take the word of the arbiter
Nothing left and nothing right
I've been away from home
Was outta sight
No other change has come
Who let the boredom in
We got our rockin' rights
We'll overcome
The mirror never lies
We'll show 'em how it's done
We always dress in black
To be unkind
We always dress in black
With you in mind
It's the way of life we live - you know where we are coming from
It's the way of life we live in - and we're not wrong
'cause it's the way of life we live - you know where we are coming from
It's the way of life we live in - we are the strong
We never will deceive
Take no double-talk
And all the fat cats bull
Don't like the way we walk
They spit behind our backs
Unwelcomed class
But it's way down deep
They wanna be like us
We always dress in black, ...
It's the way of life we live, ...
Time is ticking by
For you life is such a lie
You clipped your wings to fly
You could have had it all - but!
Work nine to five
Finish fifty-five
Only born to die
You ever been alive?
We always dress in black, ...
Sometimes it's not fair
Too many lies are told
Here we go - don't blame me
What are you lying for
Don't treat me like a toy
I have been through this pain
Long before- again and again
I believe that it's much too much
I only listen to my heart
It's never telling me a lie
I only listen to my heart
Like a kick in the face - sentimental lies
Like a kick in the face - sentimental lies
Don't you dare to hurt me
It's my life - and it's real
I'm not your fool
I will fight for my right
I only listen to my heart
It's never telling me a lie
I only listen to my heart
Like a kick in the face - sentimental lies
Like a kick in the face - sentimental lies
Like a kick in the face
Let's get right down to it
I hate the way you talk
I'm leaving all the bad times
I leave it all - all for you
I only listen to my heart
It's never telling me a lie
I only listen to my heart
It's like a kick in your face - sentimental lies
Like a kick in your face - sentimental lies
It's like a kick in your face - sentimental lies
Fight for the right thing
Fight for yourself-no one should run your life
Believe in you- it's just the best to do
Before you're giving up
Stay put and give yourself a chance to grow
Get tough and rough- defend yourself on time
Get coming back for more
You gotta push it through
You're gonna make the truth come true
Back in pain- freedom is not free
Back in pain- freedom is not free
You see yourself so busy
Doing things people always telling you to do
No matter what- always on your own
Fight just for the right thing
Go all the way and never ever change it
Get coming back for more
You gotta push it through
You're gonna make the truth come true
Back in pain- I wanna see your pride
Back in pain- freedom is not free
Back in pain- you're gonna win this fight
Back in pain- freedom is not free, yeah
Oh yeah, you can't do it on your own
I tell ya nothing, nothing new
You gotta see yourself as what you are
Blinded by light and lost- lost in the dark
Back in pain- I wanna see your pride
Back in pain- freedom is not free
Back in pain- you're gonna win this fight
Back in pain- freedom is not free, yeah
Back in pain- I wanna see your pride
Back in pain
No light inside as empty room
Under pressure I can't win
The screams - the pain - it's all inside
All this talking all the time
When there is something left
Talk to me face to face
Expected so much more
I'm sick and tired of it all
Why don't you pray for the hunted
I scream for help to free my heart
You better pray for the hunter
I wonder why you take me apart
The light has diedd and who's to blame
You're the one who messed around
You shook - you took - you played your games
The time has come you're going down
When there is something left
Talk to me face to face
Expected so much more
I'm sick and tired of it all
Why don't you pray for the hunted
I scream for help to free my heart
You better pray for the hunter
I wonder why you take me apart
You take me apart
Why don't you pray for the hunted
You better pray for the hunter
Why don't you pray for the hunted
You better pray for the hunter
Why don't you pray for the hunted
I scream for help to free my heart
You better pray for the hunter
I wonder why you take me apart
Why don't you pray for the hunted
You score no more you've lost this game
You better pray for the hunter
I have to tell a story - about a man
Never in the mood - to change his life
Nobody wants to help him - as he spirals down
But one day the wrong decision - hit him overnight
No more cocktail parties - champagne's run dry
No company take-overs - stock markets high
No more hand-jobs in the boardroom - sex is history
And no saunas, no jacuzzis - the penalties you'll reap
At last he realized - he did it wrong
Messed big time everywhere - double-dealing lies
He's going down on his bad luck - his just deserts
He's going down on his bad luck - what he deserved
His old man told him always - listen son
It's a two-way street to fortune - you gotta hit and run
Don't forget the mirror - look who's behind
And don't you come up crying - when it's faster coming down
At last he realized - he did it wrong
Messed big time everywhere - double-dealing lies
He's going down on his bad luck - his just deserts
He's going down on his bad luck - what he deserved
He's going down on his bad luck - it's his time
He's going down on his bad luck - can't rewind
Do you get the story - you know this man
Have you learned a lesson - do you understand
When all you got is crystal - you shouldn't cast a stone
So be careful when you go up - 'cause you'll meet them coming down
He's going down on his bad luck - his just deserts
He's going down on his bad luck - what he deserved
He's going down on his bad luck - it's his time
Sweet Little Child
Darkness- and yet another day slips away
So lonely- life's just like an empty room
Where is the answer, when our love was so sweet
I wish I could hold you tonight
But we only came close in my dreams
Sweet little child
Give me your answer
Some broken hearts
They'd die for that answer
To try to get back, back to the past to break free
Tell me how can I find your sunshine again
Truth is well- you know that better than me
I wish I could hold you tonight
But we only came close in my dreams
Sweet little child
Give me your answer
Some broken hearts
They'd die for that answer
To try to get back, back to the past to break free,
Sweet little child
Give me your answer
Some broken hearts
They'd die for that answer
To try to get back, back to the past to break free
[SOLO]
You know some broken hearts, would die for that answer
Sweet little child
Give me your answer
Standin' in the night, i don't know just somewhere
And i'm feeling cold inside about what i see
Give 'em all guns, there's nothin' left- for losers
Time is running out so secretly
This ain't no paradise
The nightmare's on it's way
Insanity appears- in their eyes
Streets on fire- ready or not
Will the goodtimes return- no way!
Streets on fire- ready or not
Will we ever learn- no way!
Echoing sounds of thunder make me shiver
Battlefields turn to wasteland- no one wins
The ghost of terror creeping, through the cities
And someone says it's a holy war
This ain't no paradise...
Streets on fire- ready or not...
Solo
Humans will always fight
The same shit everywhere
East or west, the same desires
Will always haunt the earth
Solo

And in your mind this place is full of steel,

A hole in the middle of the night

He is a man forced to live with the rats
But he is dying for a smile from you
He is a man without a home in his life
Is that a reason to walk on the line
It's like a game - don't mess around

No life of double standard what he's looking for
Only a dream of tender delight
No more a bloody fool in this dirty town

Go Back To Hell
Mystic rainbows- in the night
Flashing colours- shining bright
Can't you see me- in the dark
Feel a heat wave- of a spark
If you're fighting the world just beware of the knives in your back
When you need to defend then you know that it's best to attack
See the light- feel the pain- and you're going insane
Go back to hell- go back to hell
To the sight of mystic light you've seen before
Go back to hell- go back to hell
Where the dead are always knocking at your door
Feel so lonely- far away
Eat your heart out- time to pray
Moving faster- to the flames
And I'm playing- all the games
If you're fighting the world just beware of the knives in your back
When you need to defend then you know that it's best to attack
See the light- feel the pain- and you're going insane
Go back to hell- go back to hell
To the sight of mystic light you've seen before
Go back to hell- go back to hell
Where the dead are always knocking at your door
Go back to hell- go back to hell
To the sight of mystic light you've seen before
Go back to hell- go back to hell
Where the dead are always knocking at your door..
Run For Cover
See the man in white
He's old he wouldn't dare to fight, to fight another
Rockin' like a beast upon on a never ending dream
We love each other
Asking for a sign- the action's coming from behind
Let's run for cover
Feel the music's beat, we fight for rock
And in the heat we stand together
We're holding back for you when you fight
And we stand for one another
We're holding back for you, when you run for cover
And see those open eyes
When you are standing here tonight
That's why- We're holding back for you, when you run for cover
Restless in the night, we all stand up for this delight
We fight together
We're holding back for you when you fight
And we stand for one another
We're holding back for you, when you run for cover
We're holding back for you.......
Recall The Sin
Many years ago
My heart and soul was full of fire
Breaking heads - hit and run
And the sun was brighter
So wild and reckless
Cared about no law and order
We used to ram - the black and whites
They called a six-one-niner
Those were my glory days
Just bad-boys-crazy-ways
My wild-man-holy-times
I always shot on sight
And I recall the sin
And I recall the sin
In many sleepless nights
I found the dream I'm missing
Kicking ass - living fast
Been living in a prison
Time to change the colours
Sweep away the madness
Here I come - back for good
Say good-bye to sadness
I've been around and done some things
But I am proud of what I've been
Some call me many different names
You'll burn in hell when you touch my pain
And when the lights begin to blind
I raise my fist for my own kind
If you could see what I have seen
I'm just a waking - breaking - taking - living machine
I'll come to you - in the night
So hear my scream - I'll take my rights
We're godforsaken - we are stone hard
Wrecking the rules for our family
We're on a mission for the stone hard
We are free and we'll always be
I've been allowed to do my thing
And all the things should not have been
So many see me different ways
And passion kills the end of my days
And when the insides come alive
I see reflections of my life
If you could see what I have seen
I'm just an earthquake terror making rocking machine
Thunderforce
Thunder- thunderforce
Thunder- thunderforce
In a lonely night- stars are shining bright
My soul is wandering- striking the universe
I am flying to a light- to a point of no return
In the name of a master- some spirit picks me up
Oh- I feel the heat
Getting attacked- I'm fighting back
Oh- is this the light- the light of glory
Thunder- thunderforce- lightning strikes again
Thunder- thunderforce- lightning strikes again
Getting closer- you will see- the master- that's yourself, oh yeah
Oh- I feel the heat
Getting attacked- I'm fighting back
Oh- is this the light- the light of glory
Thunder- thunderforce- lightning strikes again
Thunder- thunderforce- lightning strikes again
Thunder- thunderforce- striking the universe
Thunder- thunderforce- getting attacked- I'm fighting back
Thunder- thunderforce- lightning strikes again
Thunder- thunderforce- dancing on fire- dancing in hell
Thunderforce
We're History
You look to me for some outstanding meaning
You got the devil in your eyes and nothing in your soul
If you think I'm gonna sell myself, then you must be dreaming
There's no way, I'm gonna fall into your hole
You never seem to help me when I'm bleeding
You gotta knife for a tongue and you're tearing at my heart
I thought you were a friend, but in truth you never liked me
You lied and cheated us from the start
You are wrong, love doesn't last forever
You're nothing new there is no mystery
Now you're gone you thought you were so clever
You and me are now history, we're history...
[SOLO]
I don't like your face
I don't like your eyes
I don't like your lips, I hate your lies
This time's the last time it's goodbye time
You are wrong, love doesn't last forever
You're nothing new there is no mystery
Now you're gone you thought you were so clever
You and me are now history, we're history...
We're history, we're history
I don't need you and I don't care
We're history, we're history...
Tonight - is a show
And i gotta be there
Banging my head to a metal attack
We got nothing to fear
Dancing and screaming begging our heroes for more
Burning the streets cause we gotta be first thru the door
We want it loud
There's no other reason we came for
We want it loud
The louder the better we need more
They keep us locked, locked in
For hours and hours we wait in line
You get pushed to the limit
We can't even breath no more
Like a volcano we're boiling and ready to blow
Fight all the way got to see this damn rock and roll show
We want it loud
There's no other reason we came for
We want it loud
The louder the better we need more
We want it loud - we want it loud - we want it loud
Yeah, it's gotta be loud
Yeah - we want it loud
There's no other reason we came for
We want it loud
The louder the better we need more
We want it loud
There's no other reason we came for
We want it loud
The louder the better we need more
We want it loud - we want it loud - we want it loud
We want it loud - we want it loud - we want it loud
Hell Bites Back
Hell Bites Back
You'll Do The Time
And That's A Fact
Your Lesson Has Begun
No Prison Life
Can Offer Back
You Gotta Walk The Line To Come
Now Comes The Time When The Payment Is Due
Now It‘S The Time To Go On
I Know That
Hell Bites Back
Hell Bites Back
It May Be Right
It May Be Wrong
When They Close Your Door
You'll Hate The Day
And Fear The Night
You Gave The Finger To The Law
Bridge
Chorus
Never Surrender - Cover Your Back
Nothing To Stop A Stab In The Back
Never Give In - Never Give Out
Better Be Good - Never Get Out
Friends Will Be Friends
A voice in the back - the lies and the fears
No colour but black - the truth disappears
Just by the look in your eyes I can tell
That your honour is gone - you're caught in confusion and
pain
Mysterious sounds - hidden in ice
Your lying is found - protective disguise
No one is braking the wheels are forsaken
In sheer overdrive - diamonds and rust
Breaking their lives - I burst them to dust
Friends will be friends
Down on this dirty road
Friends will be friends
One for all
The meaning is wrong - there's no reason why
The logic is gone - it's hard to deny
Friends will be friends
Down on this dirty road
Friends will be friends
All for one - one for all
No one is braking the wheels are forsaken
Diamonds and rust - I burst them to dust
[Instrumental]
Preparing for the masses who will fight a horror war
With a little bit of luck and a powerful attack
Gonna force the allied law
Spreading death and blood- terrorizing all the world
In a bloody kinda hope like a killer working dope
Living weapons- cold as ice
Without a sign of fear in their face
They stand up in this serious race
Nothing to lose much to gain
Calling the shots in this game
Powersquad rules- powersquad wins
Forcing you to run
Powersquad rules- powersquad wins
Your life is in their hands
Defending all their idols hard as the burning land
In the middle of the night in a darkest hiding hole
Living legends will be born
Preaching peace of love- emphasizing to be strong
It's another kind of fight for another holy right
Living peaceful in this world
Without a sign of fear in their face
They stand up in this serious race
Nothing to lose much to gain
Calling the shots in this game
Powersquad rules- powersquad wins
Forcing you to run
Powersquad rules- powersquad wins
Your life is in their hands
We see them die- we see them cry
Pain and heartache- losses of lives
In their fearless hearts- they're rising high
To just another world of eternity
Without a sign of fear in their face
They stand up in this serious race
Nothing to lose much to gain
Calling the shots in this game
Powersquad rules- powersquad wins
Forcing you to run
Powersquad rules- powersquad wins
Your life is in their hands
Powersquad rules- powersquad wins
Forcing you to run
Powersquad rules- powersquad wins
Your life is in their hands
Can you feel the morning light
Wanna make the sunrise mine
Been wandering from dusk to dawn
So many sleepless nights
Can't seem to get it right
So many memories in my mind
How many years have gone
Where was I coming from
I need someone to take me home
Has love just passed me by
No tears no reasons why
For harmony I'd sell my soul
For - my aim is right and strong
The sign I've waited for
There's no more knives into my heart
Now - I know right from wrong
My rescue's just begun
I've turned and faced the midnight sun
In the book of the healer
In the time of the healer
Why is the world so blind
I asked it many times
The answer's here for all to see
Now the past is laid to rest
Resurrection - born again
I thank the healer for it all
For - my aim is right and strong
The sign I've waited for
There's no more knives into my heart
Now - I know right from wrong
My rescue's just begun
I've turned and faced the midnight sun
In the book of the healer
In the time of the healer
It's on you - take your chance
Try it once and you'll break free
Power's out - just reach beyond
They say i won't make it to the top of the hill
Won't take the fruit of a tree
And ev'rybody says i'm out for the kill
They're all laughing at me
They're all laughing at me
I'm a rebel - rebel - don't you just know it
I'm a rebel - rebel
And they're all laughing at me
They say i'm a danger to the public and all
I only wish they would see
I'm just a product of a screwed up world - but they're all
They're all laughing at me
But they're all laughing at me
I'm a rebel - rebel - don't you just know it
I'm a rebel - rebel - don't you just know it
I'm a rebel - rebel
But they're all laughing at me
Never ever wash my old blue jeans
And brush the smile off my face
But still i'm a member of the
Human race - human race - human race - human race
I'm a rebel - rebel - don't you just know it
I'm a rebel - rebel - don't you just know it
I'm a rebel - rebel - don't you just know it
I'm a rebel - rebel
And they're all laughing at me
For all of time we had a man
Who had a frozen heart
He's standig on a hill
And sees the morning come
Fear and rage - destruction
He made a world of pain
Hate and sin - confession
He craved a senseless crime
'cause he's a sane killer - he takes you by surprise
He's a sane killer - stares into your eyes
He's a hate stinger - nothing left to chance
He's a sane killer - and he's the last to dance
Just in time he finds the way
To do without the lies
It's time to bruise and maim
Stripped of all disguise
Fear and rage - destruction
No warning or a sign
Hate and sin - confession
He's deadly from behind
'cause he's a sane killer - he takes you by surprise
He's a sane killer - stares into your eyes
He's a hate stinger - nothing left to chance
He's a sane killer - and he's the last to dance
The devil rings - we pay the rent
The cruellest cut of all
We built the road he travelled on
The lessons come to call
So look for signs behind the eyes
Destructor of us all
Stands alone deathly still
The stealer has arrived
Fear and rage - destruction
He made a world of pain
Hate and sin - confession
He craved a senseless crime
'cause he's a sane killer - he takes you by surprise
He's a sane killer - stares into your eyes
He's a hate stinger - nothing left to chance
He's a sane killer - and he's the last to dance
'cause he's a sane killer - he takes you by surprise
He's a sane killer - stares into your eyes
He's a hate stinger - nothing left to chance
Backstreet Loner
I lit another cigarette
She did a little pirouette
No friend of mine - a dollar's fine
A cruel world - when you cross this line
The masquerade is over
The mask - it fades away
Like a backstreet loner
No need to be afraid
In Johnny Nofinger's bar
I travelled so far
I've been to all those places
Just a shot on the bar
A cheap cigar
And all the dead-eyed faces
Hold down the fever
Don't you cross the line
Hold down the fever
Stop yourself in time
Never step on the ride
Just take my advice
I've suffered all the seasons
Feel it coming again
I paid the price
There's no rhyme - no reason
When masquerades are over
The show will fade away
You'll be a backstreet loner
You better be afraid
You always tried to be so nice
But always got it wrong
Day by day you played your games with me
But there's no way you'll win
But the time has come
I'll start another light
And now I'm gonna stand
Stand on my own - I've always been a man
Kick your desperate balls
It's my command the mighty fall
Kick your desperate balls
Received the blow forever tall
You got desperate balls
Double talk and desperate lies
You failed to see and recognize
So sorry for your puny minds
No salvation for your kind
You tried to take me on
For you I'm way too strong
I showed you how to stand
Stand on my own - I'll always be a man
Kick your desperate balls
So watch your back or I might call
Kick your desperate balls
From left or right or from below
You got desperate balls
You call those balls?
Feel the weight of mine!
You tried to take me on
For you I'm way too strong
I showed you how to stand
Stand on my own - I'll always be a man
Kick your desperate balls
It's my command the mighty fall
Kick your desperate balls
Received the blow forever tall
Kick your desperate balls
So watch your back or I might call
Kick your desperate balls
From left or right or from below
You got desperate balls
Don't Wanna Read Between The Lines
I Know What's Good, I Know What's Fine
I Know What Makes Me Feel Just Right
Don't Wanna Have An Endless Fight
And I Know – What's Right
I Know What's Right
And I Know – What's Wrong
I Know What's Wrong
I Give As Good As I Get
I Give As Good As I Get
I Know What Time To Lay My Head
I Know The Answers Best Unsaid
And No Decree Can Make Me See
Another Way Of Being Me
I Know The Way To Cross A Street
I Even Know To Trick Or Treat
I Know What's Right – I Know What's Wrong
You Better Listen Or You're Done
I Know There's No One Same As Me
I Am Unique – I've Got To Be
This Is The Way – I Am For Real
Manhunt
We're straining at the leash
We smell the human meat
The only way for us to go
The order of the pack
Command is kill - attack
Obey the master's law
Bad temper rules our minds
The hunt is on this time
We can't wait
No way to stay alive
The prey is finalised
It's total genocide
We're on the manhunt - we keep on pushing
We're on the manhunt
We're on the manhunt - we keep on pushing
We're on the manhunt
We train our deadly pride
No way for man to hide
We're always aiming for your neck
This is your final day
Just believe and pray
We're feasting on your eyes
We're on the manhunt - we keep on pushing
We're on the manhunt
We're on the manhunt - we keep on pushing
We're on the manhunt - this ain't no suicide
What is the victim's face - not us who's wrong
The terror of the chase - can't be undone
We turned the game around - not us who's wrong
You made us go to ground - can't be undone
We're on the manhunt - we keep on pushing
We're on the manhunt - this ain't no suicide
We're on the manhunt - we keep on pushing
We're on the manhunt - try to hide - no way to run
Mean Machine
The horror of a mad dog
Is chilling my blood in my brains
The lights disappearing
The cloud getting pregnant with rain
There's a rumor going round that
The master of darkness will come
They say he'll come from the sky
And there's nothing we can do
There'll be no place to hide
He's coming for me- he's coming for you!
Somewhere in time
Where creatures of the night never sleep
Lying and waiting, growing stronger
Planning our final defeat
They say he'll come from the sky...
Mean Machine
Comes from the sky
Stake your claims if you want to survive
Mean Machine
Comes from the sky
Don't try to run if you don't want to die
Mean machine
Comes from the sky
Stake your claims if you want to survive
[SOLO]
Mean Machine
Comes from the sky...
She's been around, knows how to make you think
You're in a world of innocence
She'll make you moan- make you moan and groan
Then spit you out and eat your bones
She sits around and thinks about those lies
It really makes her wonder
Chasing history- her world of ecstasy
A life of rape and plunder
Welcome to the rooms of your desire
Painted love- painted love
Take a ride and explore inside
Painted love- painted love
She knows how to make you scream and shout
You know she loves to get it out
The fascination of a fuckin' lie
It's just a case of do or die
She sits around and thinks...
Welcome to the rooms of your desire
Painted love- painted love
Reaching out- breaking out
Painted love- painted love
Take a ride, explore inside
Painted love- painted love
Reaching out- breaking out
Painted love- painted love
Solo
She sits around and thinks...
State Run Operation
Welcome to the madness
Of symptomatic rule
It's deadly and it's reckless
Another one is fooled
Miniature devices
The ears within the walls
Stiletto knives and cameras
To document it all
And the stream of data flows - endless
Police protection grows - it's here to stay
Another state run - state run operation
Another state run - state run operation
Under observation
Disloyalty is out
Covert operations
That's what it's all about
Hidden automatics
Activate the fuse
Forbidden terror tactics
The system is in use
Finger pointing accusations - they deny
Governmental legislation - why
Immovable and firm positions - don't defy
Supremacy and allegations - part of life
Catch My Fall
I wake up feeling lost without you
And the pain reminds me that I'm all alone
Those dreams we had, are now a nightmare
I feel just like a dog without a bone
Now is now and then was then
But I can't get used to being without you
It's a brand-new start and now I know that I should've
But I never ever thought I'd miss your eyes
'say' here we go again
All I need is you tonight
Why don't you call
All I need is you tonight
To catch my fall
I'd die for you over and over again
But I guess you've heard it all before
You say times have changed, changed your ways
But your absence makes me need you more and more
It's a brand-new start and now I know that I should've
Loved you then...
All I need is you tonight
Why don't you call
All I need is you tonight
To catch my fall
All I need is you tonight
Why don't you call
All I need is you tonight
To catch my fall- that's all
[SOLO]
All I need is you tonight...
I was born in a backstreet
Where people live a dirty life
Of course it was different most of the time
But it was not my fault
A life in hell
I saw it every morning
Dreams'n'desires
Can't hide myself anymore
I tried to live in heaven
But this dream did not come true
I tried to live in heaven
Next time I'll try to knock on this door again
I've been hunting
Day and night
Oh, I've been losing
Please, hold me tight
Why am I here now
And what can I do
You tell me you're sorry
You know it ain't true
I tried to live in heaven
But this dream did not come true
I tried to live in heaven
Next time I'll try to knock on this door again
You know what I mean
'Cause when you throw in the cards
Life goes on and on
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars
Life goes on and on and on and on again
'Cause when you throw in the cards
Life goes on and on
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars
Life goes on and on and on and on again
Now I'm taking my chances
Everyday, everynight
You know what I'm talking about, man
No more backstreet life
A life in hell
I saw it every morning
Dreams and desires
Don't hide myself anymore
I tried to live in heaven
But this dream did not come true
I tried to live in heaven
Next time I'll try to knock on this door again
You know what I mean
'Cause when you throw in the cards
Life goes on and on
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars
Life goes on and on and on and on again
'Cause when you throw in the cards
Life goes on and on
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars
Life goes on and on and on and on again
I made it out of this hell you know what I mean
I tried to live in heaven
But this dream did not come true
I tried to live in heaven
Next time I'll try to knock on this door again
You know what I mean
'Cause when you throw in the cards
Life goes on and on
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars
Life goes on and on and on and on again
'Cause when you throw in the cards
Life goes on and on
You're on a trip to nowhere
You'd better reach for the stars
Life goes on and on and on and on again
Future Land
It's a nightmare leading out of the dark
Tears running out of my eyes
Wake up and bring the truth into your life
I can't stand it anymore
All those nightmares - endless despair
Walk away from this dream
Show me the way out of the darkness
Into a land of light
See the world with different eyes
There's something true in this life
And I start getting closer
You'd better not fall behind
Don't take me to tomorrow
Don't take me to the future land
Don't take me to tomorrow
Don't take me to the future land
And now I've had enough of this ride
Just let me out of this game
So many reasons to step out and pay
Everyday it's the same
No more hiding - deep inside me
The pictures start to be real
You'd better listen to your heartbeat again
I know I wanna be free
See the world with different eyes
There's something true in this life
And I start getting closer
You'd better not fall behind
Don't take me to tomorrow (oh, no)
Don't take me to the future land (no lying - anymore)
Don't take me to tomorrow(mmmh, I)
Don't wanna see the future land
Don't take me to tomorrow (into the land of light)
Don't take me to the future land
Don't trade your life for sorrow (reach out for the paradise)
Stop longing for the future land
So many feelings deep in your heart
Don't you believe in this dream
So don't hide them deep inside you
Let them out this time, yeah
Don't take me to tomorrow (no lying anymore)
Don't take me to the future land (oh no)
Don't take me to tomorrow (don't take me away)
Don't take me to the future land (without day or night)
Don't trade your life for sorrow (oh no)
Stop longing for the future land (for the land of light)
It's a nightmare leading out of the dark
Tears running out of my eyes
Wake up and bring the truth into your life
I can't stand it anymore
All those nightmares - endless despair
Walk away from this dream
Show me the way out of the darkness
Into a land of light
Don't take me to tomorrow
Don't take me to the future land
Don't take me to tomorrow
Don't wanna see the future land
Don't trade your life for sorrow...

The Magic Mirror
God have the Ten Commandments
Moses passed them all
A look at Jesus' blessings
The sun belonged to Ra
Nero played with fire
Caesar was a laugh
The beauty Cleopatra
Ramses had it all
Drunk a skull with Odin
And rode with Ghingis Khan
Saw Attila, the great one
The Alps with Hannibal
Merlin and King Asrthur
A feast with Robin Hood
Friends with Leonardo
Columbus and the plot
With empires arising
And holy nations fall
The magic mirror shows you
Kings and Queens and all
Just take a look in the magic mirror
Don't turn around at what you see
Just take a look in the magic mirror
You're gonna see what you may be
Luther nailed our destiny
Beethoven wrote the scores
Napoleon and his triumph
Rasputin and the Tsar
Imagine our history
Without those famous names
It makes the world remember
That life is not in vain
They Want War
They are young and they're kids
and believe what they see
To do what they've been told
And so they walk away with open eyes
Some are eight or nine or ten
And they die like a fly, and no one knows
Who they are, they're smaller than the gun they load
See their eyes open wide
They died before they ever cried
They die in the streets and they die in the fields
When they do what they've been told
But now they're lying dead
Their eyes are closed
Some are eight or nine or ten
And they die like a fly and no one knows
Who they are, they're smaller than the gun they load
See their eyes open wide, they died before they ever cried
Who taught them how, how to pray
Who told them they're in paradise when they're gonna die
They are blind and they can't fight
They want war
They are blind and they can't fight
They want war
They are blind and they can't fight
They want war
They are blind and they can't fight
They want war
They are blind and they can't fight
They want war
They are blind and they can't fight
They want war...
You're gonna pay the price, you little devil in disguise
For taking life with no regard, you'll go to hell
And there you'll burn
Children in the battlefield, please don't go
Little birds with fluttering hearts, please don't go
