Arthur W. "Art" Bell, III (born June 17, 1945) is an American broadcaster and author, known primarily as one of the founders and the original host of the paranormal-themed radio program Coast to Coast AM. He also created and formerly hosted its companion show, Dreamland. Semi-retired from Coast to Coast AM since 2003, he hosted the show many weekends for the following four years. He announced his retirement from weekend hosting on July 1, 2007 but occasionally serves as a guest host. He attributed the reason for this latest retirement to a desire to spend time with his new wife and daughter, born May 30, 2007. He added that unlike his previous "retirements," this one will stand, while leaving open the option to return. Classic Bell-hosted episodes of Coast to Coast AM can be heard in some markets on Saturday nights under the name Somewhere in Time.
Bell founded and was the original owner of Pahrump, Nevada-based radio station, KNYE 95.1 FM. His broadcast studio and transmitter were located near his home in Pahrump while he hosted Coast to Coast AM except from June to December 2006, when he lived in the Philippines. He returned to the Philippines March 10, 2009 with his family after having significant difficulties obtaining a U.S. visa for his wife Airyn.
I'm a soldier of fortune,
I'm trained and I'm ready to kill
Put me in battle
I follow the sound of the gun
And give me an order
At many I'll fire at will
I got no emotions
I'm living with thunder and steel
I don't hear no lies
All I hear are your battle cries
I'm a soldier of fortune
I'm trained and I'm ready to die
To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
A cold death awaits me tonight
If I stumble or fall
My friends lay around me
Their bodies all tattered and torn
But mine is not to reason why
Mine is just to do or die
Can you feel the power,
Can you feel the glory?
Can you feel the power,
Can you feel the glory?
Can you feel the power?
Is it with you tonight?
I' fighting for freedom
I'm safe, I've got God on my side
But with what poison rights
Can you justify your battle hymn
The general says we'll win the war
Let me take you to a prison
Where a man is dying behind bars
His death is right before him
But it's not his choice and it's not his fault
They served him wrong and placed him
Here to die upon death row
And there's little now to help this man
For their justice ha been done
A jury turned a blinding eye
Now death is all he sees
And now he has no choice at all
But to die in misery
Oh God above why don't you lend a hand?
To this scarred and helpless soul
Of an innocent man
For if you're up there in the sky
Why don't you make it right?
Just turn him loose and end his fight
Turn him loose and make this right
He's reached the final hour
As the minutes have ticked his life away
But mercy hasn't come for him
So he looks for faith
And he starts to pray
As the seconds fall he's taken
To the place he'll die tonight
While the preacher comes to read
To him his final dying rites
As they walk to death
The man is screaming
An innocence from the crime
And the priest believes the words he hears
From the sadness in his eyes
He tells the priest he once believed
In God above and serving thee for life
But God has chosen him to die
To make him pay for another's crime
A lie, it's just a lie
But faith is dead and now it's time
To end the pain and say goodbye...
As the man died before them
The electric chair was charged to kill
While the priest was staring at the sky
The smell of death just filled the air
Yes, the verdict death was carried out
On the man who did no wrong
The end for him had finally come
And his soul it now was gone
When the call did come after his death
Claiming that the man was free
All were shocked except the priest
Who knew the travesty
Oh God above why did you take his life?
Is he at peace there standing by your side?
Has his non-belief been born again,
For will we ever know?
The many reasons for the way things go
The many reasons for the way things go
Your many reasons for the way things go
As life goes on, there's still no answers
To why we all must die
Why put us here then take away our lives?
For when life falls then death will call
And it's time to meet thy maker
As day does end and night begins
It is written on the wall
You can never tell just when
The time will come to meet thy maker
And you'll never be quite prepared
For what's waiting for us all
It's a game you must play
You can't win in the end
And losing brings the death of your life
No way to know just when you'll go
When it's time to meet thy maker
It'll come down fast and come down hard
When the finger points at you
There's just no telling what's in store
When it's time to meet thy maker
And you'll never be quite prepared
For what's waiting for us all
It's a game you must play
You can't win in the end
And losing brings the death of your life
For the reaper dressed in black
Is watching what you do
As the hands of death are
Reaching from the grave
So meet thy maker! The one in black
Meet thy maker! There's no turning back
Meet thy maker! It's your time
Meet thy maker! The end of the line is here
So death has come, you've learned the truth
And finally met your maker
As you stand alone amongst the dead
Remember this old song
Forget the stories that you've heard
I'm the Lord your maker
The king of death that is my name
And I'm with you till the end
Yes, it's me you will find at the end of the line
As I light the fire and feed you to the flames
It stands before me in my mind
For this is what I see
The perfect image of a world
Created just for me
Too great to speak I'm without words
In which I can describe
This part of me that's never free
Forever caught in time
But it's just an illusion
That passes the time away
A strange illusion
That's with me everyday
It's just an illusion
That traps me in my dreams
Just an illusion, a thought, a fantasy
For I've existed in this world
Just waiting for the day
That I'd become the messenger
For all there was to say
And now I've waited for my chance
To re-invent the dream
To re-establish thoughts of hope
With every breath I breathe
Yes, wishful thinking brings me hope
And leaves me to my dreams
For it's my way of letting go
And passing time with ease
But there's no saving what's been lost
To what we call mankind
Yet fantasies are always free
War!
Inside his mind it's '69
Somewhere in Vietnam
Yes, in his head there's millions dead
From guns, grenades, and bombs
For he's the one that feels the thunder
A prisoner of the times
Just trapped alone in a mental shock
And wanting just to die
As evil unfolds before the eyes
The horror of killing another man
One nation under God
For all around him there is pain
So is the wage of sin
The memories on the battlefield
Are buried deep within
For now the future's only past
And broken is this man
Eternally his life was lost
While fighting for his land
As evil unfolds before the eyes
The horror of killing another man
One nation under God
War! Forever there is war! For there is war!
He can thank the USA
For the way he feels today
For there is war! There is war!
I see them all around me
They're all living just to die
Just trying to make their way
And moving on
But nothing stops the torment
Of those days in Vietnam
As the battle in their minds
Is raging on
Shellshocked mindless madmen
For deep inside there is war!
They had the strength of courage
And they had the will to fight
But in the end they learned
Just how to die
And as they live the terror
Of a time so long ago
It's now too late
To save their wasted lives
And so again the music plays
The battle hymn of war
For there is war!
And every night within the dark
Those nightmares comes again
For there is war!
War!
So here's the lesson to be learned
Amongst this grief and pain
And that's in life there's nothing
Worth the hell of war again
So leave the courage to the fire
And vengeance will stay free
And liberty will carry on
For all eternity
As evil unfolds before the eyes
The horror of killing another man
One nation under God
She lies sleeping in her beauty
All alone and in the night
While the dark it craves
Her pure and blessed blood, yeah!
But with power and the force
There's no fear within her heart
For in trust she feels
Eternal strength inside
For she's the queen of queens
In a blissful serenade
And with all her faith
She's far from danger now
In a sea of dreaming terror
She's a beauty amongst beasts
And within her blood
The scent of heaven flows
For placed within her heart
Is a strength that denies evil
And with every passing day
That evil grows
Believe in thee
You must stand up
And face every sin
For the power that's inside you
Is there for the strong
To survive the night
And with evil always rising
Her faith is on the move
So the wicked has no chance
To steal her soul, yeah!
For with every human force
There's a strong and burning feeling
That gives them strength
To always overcome
For she's the queen of queens
In a blissful serenade
And with all her faith
She's far from danger now
Believe in thee
You must stand up
And face every sin
For the power that's inside you
Is there for the strong to survive
Believe in thee
You must stand up
And fight till the end
For when the terror is rising
You can come forth
You can show them your fight
And she can hear them calling
The creatures of the night
For in her dreams
She hears the screams
Oh listen them cry
So they cry for the dreaming queen
From far atop the mountain
While their evil hymns
Are sung to sadly mourn
With an echo 'cross the land
There's a circle that's been broken
She's held her strength
She's far from danger now...
So far from danger now!
So far, far from danger now,
The time was known medieval
When kings and queens did rule the land
But there were two with insane minds
And wickedness at hand
For deep within their castle
They sat and laughed while people died
They never cared for anyone
But others of their kind
For life we plead, real blood
We bleed from the pain
Rising up we knew we must
Now stop these evil ones
To break these chains and
Make our claim for revolution
She was the queen of endless love
And deemed the rich and classy whore
She romanced many in her bed
Amidst the sounds of war
The king, the greedy tyrant spent
All of his time watching poor men die
And no one dared get in his way
Or it would mean their lives
It is from our voice that we now demand
Our freedom from your pain
And we will fight and kill to bring justice
Back to our people once again!
There's no longer independence
And without it we have no lives
So together now we will stand
And march and fight until you die
Kill! Let us stand and kill! Kill!
Behind the castle walls
Our pride was in our freedom
Which death would now reward
As a certain magic filled the hearts
Of our storming battle horde
For we felt as if in heaven
As our tattered armor shined
Yes, the poor were rising from their woes
To save our broken lives
Kill! Let us stand and kill! Kill!
Now we will attack!
Yes, the time had come for vengeance
For angered were us slaves
We had longed to storm the castle walls
And finally end their reign, end their reign...
We rode the path unto the bridge
That brought us to the gates
For our quest for peace had now begun
And death would lead the way, lead the way!
To the king and queen we now call
For you and your people all the same
We've suffered here now long enough
It's time to end our pain!
As we slayed the guards in battle
We knew that it was time
For now beyond the castle walls
Sat the king and queen to die
And we brought our swords together
And our pride we did defend
As we beheaded all the wicked ones
Who'd never reign again
Yes, the chains were finally freed
And there for all the town to see
Were the heads of the king and queen
Waiting in the dead of night
Your mind is all but still
Stalking is a horrid fright
It's a battle of wills
Worried you will feel the end
Can you feel the force
The tension falls upon you now
It's the war to end all wars
Midnight is the time to die
As the strike of twelve brings death
Holding on for your life is the final proving test
In front of you it does stand
The sinner that is night
Darkness has uncovered you
Death turns out the light
Back alley murders
The shadows showed you not a thing
A phobia of doom within
You sense the fear, now feel the sting
Madness is what brings the kill
Will it all come down
Who will die by this twisted life
Run, you had better run
In front of you it does stand
The sinner that is night
Darkness has uncovered you
Death turns out the light
Back alley murders
Your eyes are wide but yet you're blind
Back alley murders
Insanity's alive tonight
Is it fear that feeds on you
The visions of your stare
Is it waiting to unfold, my friend you best beware
Create your fears and die from them
How fragile are our minds
Phobia of doom within, destroying us inside
The hammers smashing, break you down
You're quickly fading fast
Looking forward isn't there
Keep looking to your past
All memories, see nothing new
No future, only doom
Collapsed and fallen is your world
Their souls possessed by evil
Their lives belong to him
Millions of years have watched them reign
The streets of old Salem
The force is which they worship
Scars the town with sin
Those who serve the evil one
This night will ride with them yeah!
In the name of Lucifer, the burning one
With the powers of hell itself they have come
Tonight they are armed with evil
Evil is their call
No one can stop this dawning curse
No one can see it fall
The devil's won, the evil's come tonight!
At night they ride again, at night they ride...
In the streets they preach the devil
Bringing only death
As little children say their prayers
Before they lay to rest
They pray they'll stand the coming terror
And wake to see the sun
As unholy soldiers slay them all one by one
The devil's won, the evil's come!
The stormbringer rides into town
To bring it to the ground
Our hearts have felt their deviance
The markings of the beast
A million years awaiting
Time to rise up and be free, free, free
Rise up and be free,
Free we're all free so rise up and be free!
Their holy land is in despair
The mighty how they fall
With burning darkness in their veins
They're fighting Satan's war
Salem's curse
The devil's won, the devil's come tonight!
The stormbringer rides into town
To bring it to the ground
At night they ride again
He's the warlock he's the midnight man
With magic he attacks
The sorcerer of full moons eyes
His soul is drenched in black
Within his lair for no one goes
They know the curse he'll bring
He beckons fools to come to him
From the highest hill he sings
"There is no force as great as mine
So fall into my arms,
You can't resist temptations urge
You can't deny my charm"
So take my hand my foolish children
For I'll not bring you harm
The warlock feeds on mindless fools
The poor who've lost their way
He takes their minds and steals their souls
Insisting they'll be saved!
His spell is cast on you
Sealing the fate of doom
You took his words too well
He'll see you down in hell...
The warlock strikes again
Another life does end
A victim of the night will never see...
The light begins yet another day
Another time and place
The warlock stands before the town
Preaching his magic ways
Another fool does raise his hand
Waiting to be "saved"
The warlock lives to fool the world
To trick them with his "sight"
He takes the mind and steals the soul
And laughs into the night...
Beware, oh beware, oh beware of the night:
(The warlock)
Beware, oh beware, oh beware of the night:
(The warlock)
Warlock, the warlock, the warlock waits for you,
Modern man in search of life
He wants to touch the stars
A million ways in which to die
He wishes to depart this world
"Grant thee wings and let me fly,
Along with moving winds"
Planet earth now stands below a new life begins...
At one with lovely night, spreading wings to fly
For there is nothing in your way
Accepting challenge that is at hand
Forever live another day!
Among the clouds and on through time
The darkness is no more
At war with none for it is done
Surviving from remorse
Eternal peace has been achieved
The skies a new friend
A wish fulfilled a nightmare killed
A dream that never ends
The life he had has led him to beyond...
The search for peace has come forever more
In death there are no limitations!
Around the earth you can hear our cries
Echo over the land
A coven of once noble humans
The symbol of honest man
Our sadness is always now and forever
Within us never to fade
The tears on our faces
Oh how they fall from broken, failing eyes
Lost city we are there if only in our minds
Lost city a city of heavenly dreams
Taken away taken all away
Lost city they've taken it all away
Beauty of life was ours forever
The nature of it all
But sinners of greed took their poisons of evil
And turned it on the world
The soul is nothing without hope
And that has finally died
An evil dream of endless sorrow has become reality
Our broken wings can't fly no more,
For we've become the past
Chilling wars have come and gone
The innocents were slain
Senseless killing insane acts
The torture and the pain
No life is safe upon this earth
When others sound our voice
For up till now it's misery that's leading man to die
Life's beauty was once proudly displayed
For everyone to see
A gift from heaven given to earth
What a sight unleashed
Then through the ages changes occurred
The beauty it started to fade
All of the charm was taken away
The angel loses its wings
Lost city we are there if only in our minds
Forever they've taken it all away
The queen's crown torn from her head
Sealing the end of us all
The fading of freedom leaves us to wonder
Will it ever return?
I once believed in miracles
Until the day did come
The day when all signs of life
Came crashing to the ground
I sadly watched as death
Did take them all away from me
With total sadness in my heart
I wondered what waits
I look into my future
I'm searching for the answers
I'd love to know what waits beyond, Beyond
Waits beyond
Is the world a place between time
Can there be nothing to life
Does no one know what waits beyond, Beyond
Waits beyond, what waits beyond, Beyond
I closed my eyes and lost my mind
I fell into the pain
A neverending loss of faith
Just lingers on and on
I thought all the dreams we shared
And all the times we had
Completely scared I turned away
And knew that death would come
Please, someone tell me what waits beyond
The hell of all my fears
Now standing at the crossroads
The turning point for me
I've learned that life is what it is
And death makes it complete
Beyond what waits
Waits beyond
I can feel it near me, I can feel it in my veins
I sense the presence of the darker side of life
It wants to take me, it's soon to control me
It wants to slowly bring my soul to them
Yes it does
It's in the things I do, it's in the air I breathe
It's always watching, just staring at me
It's in the basement, it's in the attic too
It never shows it's face
But I know that it's there
Because all this hell is forever
As all my fears come together
It's living in my mind
Misfortune
Breathing faster, the walls start moving in
Heartbeats feel like hammers beating
Deep inside my chest
Sweat and fear has come alive
My nerves attacking me
My mind is racing to no end, full anxiety
Now it's closer to my soul
Than it's ever been before
All my fears confront me now
I'm truly scared to death
Misfortune, that is me
Misfortune, that is me
I am misfortune
There was no one to turn to
To save me from my mind
It came alive and summoned me
And now it has my soul
Darkness beckons me, it eats me alive
The day has come, it's taken hold
It's finally become me
So now I am it's victim, misfortune, that is me
I'm all alone without a hope for all eternity
Because all this hell is forever
As all my fears come together
It's living in my mind
Misfortune
Last day of October as you walk the path
While morbid thoughts fill your head
That sinister lady you met in the woods
Has frightened you way beyond scared
Her tales of terror directed at you
Spoke of your downfall and fate
Half-hearted you laughed at
Predictions to come
Now all evil shall have it's day...
The winter is cold and bitter as hell
As the haunting moon guides the way
An owl on the tree sits shockingly quiet
As dark devours the day
The silence increases striking your nerves
Impatient to safely reach home
Awaiting the moment of fable or truth
Not knowing if "it" will come
The fire awaits you it's watching all the time
There's nothing you can do
But witness your world fall...
"Stay on your guard this dark Halloween
And never look at it's eyes"
"Pick up your pace and don't look back"
Said the lady so elder and wise
Pray to the heavens for protection and guidance
It's really all you can do
"It" is out there mark my words
And it's waiting just for you
The fire awaits you
It's watching all the time
There's nothing you can do
But die!
Here I sit among all evil at the gates of hell
Another victim of the fire
Born to serve it well
I scream and scream but no one comes
Burning all the time
My soul is damned in lakes of fire
We've always been a savage monster
Ripping through the night
And we've always wanted so much more
Than ordinary life
Inside our heart the blood is strong
As the sun goes down
The demons dance inside our veins
As life rolls on and on
With every passing hour we commit to sin
We grasp the claws of evil and commit to sin
With devils on our side we keep on flying high
In the dead of night we commit to sin
We take the stage burning hot
Always running wild
Tempting spectres of the night
For we are midnight's child
On all the fools we turn our back
And live our lives our way
We have no rules, we have no fears
It's all adrenaline
The future is in front of us
And we always shoot to thrill
We are evil on the move
And you cannot break our will
So let the devils have their time
It's best you stand aside
No sense to try and slow us down
No one lives, we all die
Prepare yourself for the end
No survivors on this night
Say goodbye my friend
Joining hands and saying prayers
Won't stop what's coming next
When the final seconds tick away
The next station stop is death
So watch it happen, see it burn
Terror aboard this flight
Hand in hand, they know the truth
That all will lose their lives
No survivors, finally no one's left to scream
Bring the body bags
For there's truly no survivors
No survivors, no survivors on this flight
No survivors on this night
Clinch in fear, scream in pain
Accept this all as fate
The ship is sinking to beyond
No turning back, too late
Take the time to pray to God
But the master now is Death
Those final seconds tick away
Your life is fading fast
Train has come crashing down
Life for you is done
Look the reaper in the eye
Yes, you are the one
Warning lights see only red
As fate is seeing green
The only ride you're taking now
For in my heart there's sorrow
I've been feeling this pain for all so long
The pouring rains have set the tone
For my closing day to come
Thunder it lights up a burning sky
As I choose my loss of existence
There is no time to reminisce there's only time to die
You see my world has ended
For the will to live has gone away
I saw it coming closing in
But at last my face is worn
I did not believe within a lifetime
My world would fade and die
But with little warning my heartbeat ends
And there's no longer life
A million goodbyes said in a moments time
A final cheer to all my family & friends
A million goodbyes I leave you all forever now
For death is taking me away...
"I have tried to live my life in peace
But so many things seem
To always stand in my way
Maybe everyone else too
Sees all the torment and despair
In my world or maybe it's just me
There's so many things
To deal with in a lifetime and too many
Of them just seem they aren't
Worth the trouble they bring
In death there will hopefully no longer be pain,
I soon shall see!"
A million goodbyes said in a moments time
A final cheer to all my family & friends
A million goodbyes I leave you all forever now
For death is taking me away...
The weight of the world
It pulls at the soul
Bringing you down to your knees
The faces of doom they stare down at you
Demanding and taking from thee
But now is the time to reclaim your life
We'll scream and we'll fight
To give you your right
The powerhouse set at full speed
Power, power, powerhouse
Unleashed tonight
Power, power, powerhouse
Ready to fight
Power, power, powerhouse
Comes from deep inside
Power, power, powerhouse
Unleashed tonight
The cries for deliverance
Are louder than hell
We listen to them in the night
But you now know the sign
So raise it in pride
The powerhouse stands by your side
You've torn down the walls
That held you so long
You've now smashed them
And thrown them aside
Now it's your turn to live
And your turn to give
Your metal heart beating inside
So rise from the ashes
Of what's now your past
And scream out loud VICTORY
Yes, join in our call, we welcome you all
The powerhouse has set you free
Power! Power! Power! Power!
The power we give
The metal we live
Invaders cross our borders, riding hard on steeds of
fury
Bent on destruction laying waste to all within their
path
Warriors of Saxony are on the hunt again
The howling of these wardogs rings across the plains
Day of the Saxons, the day when blood will flow like
wine
Day of the Saxons, our warriors in armor one more time
Burning down our villages, killing like machines
Axes swung with a vengeance, they die without a scream
Slicing through the nation like the rising of the dead
Tired of domination we will fight to the end
Who are these bearded madmen who are trying to slay my
tribe
The bloodlust of the battlefield is blazing in their
eyes
Total devastation, emerging through the haze
Forging iron order in a molten metal daze
Day of the Saxons, the day when blood will flow like
wine
Day of the Saxons, our warriors in armor one more time
Invaders cross our borders, riding hard on steeds of
fury
Bent on destruction laying waste to all within their
path
Slicing through the nation like the rising of the dead
Tired of domination we fight to the end
Day of the Saxons, the day when blood will flow like
wine
Day of the Saxons, our warriors in armor one more time
Day of the Saxons, the day when blood will flow like
wine
Ain't no job too big or small,
Just one sweep of the wreckin' ball
Put 'em up, we'll knock 'em down,
Or knock 'em up, then leave town
Demolition of the mind
Desolation, left behind
Light the fuse, dynamite
Light the sky! in the night!
We're gonna walk
All over you
'Cause we are
The wreckin', wreckin' crew!
We are the wreckin' crew
Wreckin' crew!
We are the wreckin' crew
Destruction is a way of life
Destruction, mayhem, havoc, strife
Crack a smile, hear the sound
Watch 'em crumble to the ground
Innocence ain't no excuse,
Slip your neck inside the noose
Pay in blood I demand,
The wreckin' crew is outta hand
We'll wreck your neck!
Wreckin' crew!
Get wrecked!
Turn to ashes, turn to dust
We're the ones that you can trust
Evil smile, wicked grin,
Tear it down, begin to sin
Think that you will end it all,
There's no one left to ball or call
When there ain't nothin' left to do,
Call upon, the wreckin' crew!
We'll wreck your neck!
Wreckin' crew!
Yer wreck!
Ah! Wreckin' crew!
Out of nowhere it arrived, a mendes prey of fate
Gureling demon of mankind
No longer locked away
In the wings it awaits, just listen for the call
Rush of anger, speeding pulse
The time has finally come
The fist pushes down into the mind from the skull
The violent circle starts the spinning wheel
Round and round
Stay, stand your ground
As your forces become strong
Within you rivet rats come alive to take this fight
Hand of evil reaching out
Sending signals to the brain
Blood and anger tell the tale
The beast is coming home
A growing monster so alive
It's living, breeding deep inside
Taking violence for a ride in us all, the rat's alive
From the dark it screamed for life
Feeding violence to the mind
In us all the rat's alive, power and pain from inside
The rivet rat, Rivet rat
The rivet rat, Rivet rat
The rivet rat, Rivet rat
Long live the rivet
Rats are growing in your brain
They multiply and go insane
In us all the rat's alive, power and pain from inside
The rivet rat, Rivet rat
The rivet rat, Rivet rat
The rivet rat, Rivet rat
Long live the rivet
Rivet rat, from inside you
