Screaming for Vengeance

The Hellion
 
(Instrumental)

Electric Eye
 
Up here in space
I'm looking down on you.
My lasers trace
Everything you do.
You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind.
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time.
I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam.
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean.
I'm elected electric spy
I protected electric eye.
Always in focus
You can't feel my stare.
I zoom into you
You don't know I'm there.
I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove.
Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
There's nothing you can do about it.
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows.
Protected.  Detective.  Electric eye.

Riding On The Wind
 
Shooting for the stars
Cruise the speed of light.
Glowin' god of Mars
Body burning bright.
Well I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind
Yes I'm ridin', ridin' on the wind.
Tearing up through life
Million miles an hour
Blinding all in sight
Surging rush of power.
Thunderbolt from hell
Shattering aloud.
Screamin' demons yell
Bursting through the clouds.

Bloodstone
 
I've been trying
There's no denying.
It's sending me
Out of my mind.
I've seen reason
Change to treason.
It's losing its sense
Of all kind.
How much longer will it take
For the world to see.
We should learn to live
And simply let it be.
Bloodstone, bloodstone.
In the night time
Wake in fright.
I'm so scared of the game
That's being played.
Start to wonder
What's going under.
And how many deals
Have been made.
Bloodstone.
I can't take it.
You got me living
On a bloodstone
I don't want that bloodstone.

(Take These) Chains
 
I move away it don't do me no good
Three thousand miles don't help like I thought it would.
Help me, I'm beggin' you please.
You've got the power down on my knees
Give me some kind of life.
Leave me be.
Take these chains off
Take 'em off of my heart
Reach out to me, as if from the grave
I tried to run but I'm tied to you like a slave.
It's my fault for loving you so
You were so precious, how could I know.
You turned mean overnight
Poor poor me.
I don't owe you anything
Why don't you get out of my life.
Through it all the memories cling
And I can't sleep at night.
Help me, I'm beggin' you please.
You've got the power down on my knees
Give me some kind of life.
Leave me be.

Pain and Pleasure
 
I wanna tell ya, hey I think you oughta know
The way you're treating me, I feel I'll have ta go.
I've heard the rumours and it seems they're comin' true
You do waht suits ya, but then that's nothin' new.
Do what you wanna do
Oh what you put me through.
How I suffer for your love.
Say what you wanna say
You know that you're gonna pay
For all the times that I've cried.
You give me pain, but you bring me pleasure
Get out of my life.
You bring me pain, but you give me pleasure
You don't know what I like.
You've got me tied up, dog upon a leash
Instead of messin' 'round, practice what you preach.
Your days are numbered, my day's arrived
The way I see it, we're dead or we're alive

Screaming for Vengeance
 
Hey listen don't you let them get your mind
Fill your brain with orders and that's not right.
They're playing at a game that draws you closer
Till you're living in a world that's ruled by fear.
Always takin' baby out that's o.k.
What they're givin' maybe it's out of phase with me.
Told you one you're never gonna win the race
Same old no tomorrow kicked in the face.
We are screaming, screaming for vengeance
The world is a manacled place.
Screaming, screaming for vengeance
The world is defiled in disgrace.
Tie a blindfold all around your head
Spin you 'round in the torture before the dread.
And then you're pushed and shoved into every corner
Then they lead you out into the final slaughter.
As the sweat is runnin' down your neck
All your praying for's to stop your body breakin' up.
Oh your heart is pumpin' gonna soon explode
Got to fight the horror of this mental load.
So you wait it out and bide your time
Rip off that straight jacket gotta break that line.
Everyone who wins in the great escape
Leaves a thousand more who suffer in their wake.
I don't talk about it but that's alright
Table's turned now there's a revenge in sight.
If it takes forever babe I tell ya I can wait
Send them screaming back through their hell's own gate.

You've Got Another Think Comin'
 
One life I'm gonna live it up
I'm takin' flight said I'll never get enough.
Stand tall I'm young and kinda proud
I'm on top as long as the music's loud.
If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool 'cause it's a case of do or die.
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
If you think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another think comin'.
That's right here's where the talkin' ends
Well listen this night there'll be some action spent.
Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots
I got an ace card comin' down on the rocks.
If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain
Listen I ain't foolin' and you'd better think again.
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
If you think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another think comin'.
In this world we're livin' in we have our share of sorrow
Answer now is don't give in aim for a new tomorrow.
Oh so hot no time to take a rest yeah
Act tough ain't room for second best.
Real strong got me some security
Hey I'm a big smash I'm goin' for infinity yeah.

Fever

I'd spend my days alone
I used to stay at home
Lost in seclusion there.
Like I was in a cell
A captured heart as well
Surrounded by despair.
Darkness filled my soul
Losing all control.
Down on the streets below
Bright city lights would glow.
The energy would rise
And through the heat I'd gaze
Still counting empty days.
With fire in my eyes
Living through this hell
Can I break this spell.
Fever.  You set my soul on fire.
Fever.  You fill me with desire.
Fever.  You always get it right.
Fever.  All day and all night.
Then one night as I walked
I heard your body talk
I saw a shooting star.
In some magnetic trance
Our beating hearts would dance
And crash down from afar.
Oh how strange fate is
Never dreamed of this.
So destiny has brought us
Oh so close together
We were like angels in the night
Living the dream
At last I'll be with you forever.
And all at once it feels so right.

Devil's Child
 
Hypnotize me
Mesmerize me
Feel my willpower slip.
Light my fire
With cold desire
Losing all my grip.
Eat my diamonds
Drinkin' all my gin
Feast your eyes on
A whole lotta sin.
On no you're so damned wicked
You got me by the throat
Oh no got your claws stuck in my
You never let me go
I believe you're the devil
I believe you're the devil's child.
Took my dreams
And now it seems you're nothing but a liar
Smash and grab at all I had
Build my funeral pyre.
Stop pretendin'
Got me growin' old
Your tormentin's
Fit to snap my soul.
You took my heart
And left it blown to smithereens.
I gave my body as a slave
You cut my flesh
And drank my blood that poured in streams
I'm left here broken and ashamed.
Goin' under
Hear the thunder
Death defying grace.
Your condition breeds ammunition
Shoots me in the face.
Vivious talkin'
Stabs me like a knife
Scratched and bruised, so abused
I'm a human sacrifice.

Defenders of the Faith

Freewheel Burning

Fast and furious we ride the universe
To carve a road for us that slices every
 curve in sight
We accelerate, no time to hesitate
This load will detonate whoever would
Contend its right
Born to lead
At breakneck speed
With high octane
We're spitting flames
freewheel burning
On we catapult, we're thrusting to the hilt
Unearthing every fault, go headlong
 into any date
We don't accept defeat, we never will retreat
We blaze with scorching heat obliterations
 everywhere
Look before you leap has never been
 the way we keep
Our road is free
Charging to the top and never give in never
 stops the
Way to be
Hold on to the lead with all your will and
 concede
You'll find there's life with victory on high

Jawbreaker

Deadly as the viper
Peering form its coil
The poison there is coming to the boil
Ticking like a time bomb
The fuse is running short
on the verge of snapping if it's caught
And all the pressure that's been building up
For all the years it bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Ready to explode
Jawbreaker
Crouching in the corner
Wound up as a spring
Piercing eyes that flash are shimmering
Muscles are all contorted
Claws dug in the dirt
Every ounce of fiber on alert

Rock Hard Ride Free

Get a grip on the action
Movin' heaven and earth
Gotta get a reaction
Push for all that you're worth
No denyin we're goin' against the grain
So defiant they'll never put us down
Rock Hard Ride Free
All day, all night
Rock Hard Ride Free
All your life
Tough as steel
Stop at nothin'
Look at fate in the face
Don't take no for an answer
Grab the lead in the race
Rock with a purpose
Got a mind that won't bend
Diehard resolution
That is true to the end

Sentinel

Along deserted avenues
Steam begins to rise
The figures primed and ready
Prepared for quick surprise
He's watchin' for a sign
His life is on the line
Dogs whine in the alleys
Smoke is on the wind
From deep inside its empty shell
A cathedral bell begins to toll
A storm begins to grow
Amidst the upturned burned-out cars
The challengers await
And in their fists clutch iron bars
With which to seal his fate
Across his chest is scabbards rest
The rows of throwing knives
Whose razor points in challenged tests
Have finished many lives
Now facing one another
The stand-off eats at time
Then all at once a silence falls
As the bell ceases its chime
Upon this sign the challengers
With shrieks and cries rush forth
The knives fly out like bullets
Upon their deadly course
Screams of pain and agony
Rent the silent air
Amidst the dying bodies
Blood runs everywhere
The figure stands expressionless
Impassive and alone
Unmoved by this victory
And the seeds of death he's sown
Sworn to avenge
Condemn to Hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the Sentinel

Love Bites

When you feel safe
When you feel warm
That's when I rise
That's when I crawl
Gliding on mist
Hardly a sound
Bring the kiss
Evils abound
In the dead of night love bites
Into your room
Where in deep sleep
There you lie still
To you I creep
Then I descend
Close to your lips
Across you I bend
You smile as I sip
Now you are mine
In my control
One taste of your life
And I own your soul
Softly you stir
Gently you moan
Lust's in the air
Wake as I groan
In the dead of night love bites
Love bites you
Invites you
To feast in the night
Excites you
Delights you
It drains you to white
Love bites
You knew at first sight
You'd enjoy my attack
That with my first bite
There'd be no turning back
So come in my arms
I strike any hour
I will return
To trap and devour
In the dead of night love bites

Eat Me Alive

Wrapped tight around me
Like a second flesh hot skin
Cling to my body
As the ecstasy begins
Your wild vibrations
Got me shooting from the hip
Crazed and insatiable let rip
Eat me alive
Sounds like an animal
Panting to the beat
Groan in the pleasure zone
Gasping from the heat
Gut-wrenching frenzy
That deranges every joint
I'm gonna force you at gun point
To eat me alive
Bound to deliver as
You give and I collect
Squealing impassioned as
The rod of steel injects
Lunge to the maximum
Spread-eagled to the wall
You're well equipped to take it all
So eat me alive

Some Heads are Gonna Roll

You can look to the left and
Look to the right
But you will live in danger tonite
When the enemy comes he will
Never be heard
He'll blow your mind and not say a word
Blinding lights--flashing colors
Sleepless nights
If the man with the power
Can't keep it under control
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
(Repeat)
The power-mad freaks who are
Ruling the earth
Will show how little they think you're worth
With animal lust they'll
Devour your life
And slice your word to bits like a knife
One last day burning hell fire
You're blown away
If the man with the power
Can't keep it under control
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll
(Repeat)
Know what it's like
When you're taken for granted
There goes your life
It's so underhanded
If the man with the power
Can't keep it under control
Some heads are gonna roll
Some heads are gonna roll

Night Comes Down

In the last rays of the setting sun
And the past days, that's where our
memories run
And all of those times
Still race through my mind
I'm shattered inside to find
When the night comes down
And I'm here all alone
When the night comes down
And there's no place to go
Call me and I'll wait till the summer
You never understood
Call me and I'll wait forever
For a love that's only good
As the light starts to dim
The fear closes in
And the nightmares begin
Oh no you won't be there tomorrow
Oh no say it isn't true
Can't take this pain and sorrow
Oh can't you see my heart is broken in two

Heavy Duty

I know you like it hot
Love to writhe and sweat
You think that this feels good
You ain't felt nothin' yet
Red-hot licks in the palm of my hand
Feel your body quake
As we hit the promised land
I'm heavy duty
We'll rise inside ya till the power
 splits your head
We're gonna rock ya till your metal
 hunger's fed
Let's all join forces
Rule with iron hand
And prove to all the world
Metal rules the land
We're heavy duty
So come on let's tell the world
We are defenders of the faith

Defenders of the Faith

We are defenders of the faith
(Repeat into infinity and fade)

TURBO LOVER

You won’t hear me, But you’ll feel me
Without warning, something’s
dawning, listen.
Then within your senses, You’ll know
you’re defenseless
How your heart beats, when you run
for cover
You can’t retreat, I spy like no other
Then we race together. We can
ride forever
Wrapped in horse-power, driving
into fury
Changing gear I pull you tighter to me.
I’m your turbo lover.  Tell me there’s
no other
I’m your turbo lover.  Better run
for cover.
We hold each other closer, as we shift
to overdrive
And everything goes rushing by, with
every nerve alive
We move so fast it seems as tough
we’ve taken to the sky
Love machines in harmony, we hear
the engines cry.
On and on we’re charging to the place
so many seek
In perfect synchronicity of which so
many speak
We feel so close to heaven in this
roaring heavy load
And then in sheer abandonment, we
shatter and explode.

LOCKED IN

I can’t stand the way you move it
You drive me crazy with that walk
You get me so excited. I tremble and
I shake
When you make the moves you make.
You’ve got the key. The key to my heart
Go ahead and use it
Drag me in
Slam the door.
Then I’ll be yours, for evermore
You’ve got me locked in
Locked inside your love
I can’t take it when you touch me
Feels so good I could explode
You’ve got me in a frenzy
I tremble and I quake
When you shake the things you shake.

PRIVATE PROPERTY

You think you’re cool and got it all,
You think you run the scene
I don’t believe how you’d conceive,
that you’re good enough for me
You think you’ve got it all sewn up
But I’ll cut you right down to size
The way I figure you don’t exist,
so you better realise.
Don’t you touch, don’t get near
Don’t take me for a fool
Make no mistake.  No give and take
I’m too good for you.
So keep your hands off, Private
Property
Hands off. Oh oh
Keep your hands off private property
Hands off me.  Hands off. Keep your
hands off me
I’m number one when I turn it on.
Do you think you can relate
You’d be amazed, left in a daze.
To see me operate.
You live in a fantasy.  I don’t even care.
If you’re lookin’ for sympathy.  It ain’t
there
Hands off, keep your dirty hands
off me.

PARENTAL GUIDANCE

You say I waste my life away, but I live
it to the full
And how would you know anyway,
you’re just mister dull
Why don’t you get into the things we
do today
You could lose twenty years right
away, so we say
We don’t need, no, no no no parental
guidance here
Every day you scream at me to turn the music low
Well if you keep on screaming, you’ll
make me deaf you know.
You always chew me out, because I
stay out late
Until your three-piece suit comes back
in date, get one thing straight
There’s no communication. I’m tired
of explanation
Is this message getting through
You went through the same thing too
Don’t you remember what it’s like to
lose control
Put on my jacket - for you get too old.
Let’s rock n’ roll.

ROCK YOU ALL AROUND THE WORLD

In the cities of the World, You know
every boy and girl
Goes crazy to the beat of rock n’ roll
And as the volume is soaring, all the
crowd is roaring
Let it roll
Well, we don’t care in the least, cause
our metal is a feast
But there’s always someone tryin’ to
put it down
So we crank the music louder.  And our
voices turn to power
With a wall of sound we’ll blow Œem
all away
Rock you all around the World
We’re gonna rock.  We’re gonna roll
We’re gonna shake you down
We’re gonna lose control
No one can hold us down, just look
around and see
This generation’s getting up, and
breakin’ free
Rock you all around the World
We’re gonna rock, we’re gonna
rock you

OUT IN THE COLD

I’m layin’ awake at night.  I can’t get
you out of my mind
All I can hear is my heart beat.  And a
voice in the dark of some kind
Where are you now.  The fears are
comin’ back to me once again
Oh, I wish you were here. Takin’ good
care of me
I want you, I feel as though I’m out
in the cold
Out in the cold, hear me calling
Cold.  Out in the cold please rescue me
I know it was you I hurt.  I didn’t mean
to hurt you
So much to forgive and forget
Can’t take anymore of his hurt.  Oh no,
Oh no
There’s so many things I regret
You shut me out.  Where are you now
I need you, and I’m so cold
Can’t you hear my heart beat
Give me a chance baby
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do to make
it alright
Just one more chance baby
I need all your lovin’ tonight

WILD NIGHTS, HOT AND CRAZY DAYS

I’m gonna break-out
I’m gonna drive my car
I’m gonna get up and go
I want some action
I’ve been workin’ so hard
I’m gonna over load
Can you feel the beat
Everybody’s rockin’ in the summer heat
As the sun goes down
Well deep down inside, you feel your
temperature rise
For those, wild nights, hot and
crazy days
I’m feelin’ good tonight
I’m gonna cruise around
Makin’ every head turn
Wind up the radio
I’m in the mood for some lovin’
cause the night time’s comin’
Come on, gettin’ hot tonight, come on
that’s right
Come on, there’s no end in sight,
come on alright.

HOT FOR LOVE

Twenty-four hours of the day, you’re
on my trail and I can’t get away
I can’t shake you off.  You’re a wolf
on the prowl
You got my scent and I can hear
you howl
No where to run.  No where to hin.
No where to go
No where to run to. No where to hide
this hurt inside
Hot for love
When the sun goes down, I can feel
your heat
Till the sun comes up, when you’ve
got me worn deadbeat
I said I’m all burned out, I’m a physical wreck
But there you go again with your hot
breath on my neck

RECKLESS

No one can stop me now
I’m like a human dynamo
Live wired and chargin’ out with power
This time I won’t hold back, I’m rarin’
to get up and go
Fuelled up and growin’ by the hour
Look out, I’m blastin’ through the lines
alive and kickin’
Watch out, I’m young and lethal
I’m goin’ home here until eternity
I’m feelin’ reckless
Way outa hand, a real survivor
Reckless, comin’ at gale force ten
Around me I feel the shock waves,
building from the energy
A force field that no one can break
through
Solid as rock no wonder I am
indestructible
First places in everything I do
Radio active I’m shootin’ through the
atmosphere
Takin’ off, I’m headin’ like a rocket
through the atmosphere

RAM IT DOWN

Raise the sights, the city lights are calling
We’re hot tonight, the time is right, there’s nitro in the air
In the street is where we’ll meet, we’re warning
On the beat, we won’t retreat, beware
Thousands of cars and a million guitars
Screaming with power in the air
We’ve found the place where the decibels race
This army of rock will be there
To ram it down, ram it down
Straight through the heart of this town
Ram it down, ram it down
Razing the place to the ground
Ram it down
Bodies revvin’ in leather heaven in wonder
Lights are dimmin’ and heads are swimmin’ as thunder
hits the stage
Hell breaks loose, turn on the juice get stronger
We metal maniacs begin to rave
Thousands of cars and a million guitars
Screaming with power in the air
We’ve found the place where the decibels race
This army of rock will be there
To ram it down, ram it down
Straight through the heart of this town
Ram it down, ram it down
Razing the place to the ground
Ram it down
Shout it out, we’re all together now
Shout it out, we join as one, one
Thousands of cars and a million guitars
Screaming with power in the air
We’ve found the place where the decibels race
This army of rock will be there
To ram it down, ram it down
Straight through the heart of this town
Ram it down, ram it down
Razing the place to the ground
Ram it down

HEAVY METAL

When the power chords come crashing down
go tearing through my sense
It’s for the strong, not for the weak
In light and dark dimension
It stimulates, regenerates
It’s therapeutic healing
It lifts our feet up off the ground
and blasts us through the ceiling
Between the eyes
I hear it screaming
And it electrifies
Your inner feelings
Hot shock waves charge the air
All heads are banging
Fists pumping everywhere
Guitars are cranking
Heavy metal. Heavy metal
What do you want
Heavy metal. Heavy metal
What do you want
Ten thousands lights come
blazing down
With razor sharp precision
The speakers pour out molten steel
The beat gives double vision
An armour plated raging beast
That’s born of steel and leather
It will survive against all odds
Stampeding on forever
Between the eyes
I hear it screaming
And it electrifies
Your inner feelings
Hot shock waves charge the air
All heads are banging
Fists pumping everywhere
Guitars are cranking
Heavy metal. Heavy metal
What do you want
Heavy metal. Heavy metal
What do you want

LOVE ZONE

Been awake all night, can’t get no sleep
I need a steel blue heart walkin’ down the street
With your razor nails, and your painted smile
You’re gonna get richer, I gotta get wild
Any time you want to
Any way you need
Get your love for money there, satisfaction guaranteed
Wo oh, love zone
You know what I mean
Wo oh, love zone
Live that fantasy
I’m behind the wheel, throttle open wide
The gas tanks full do you want to ride
Drivin’ in the fast lane at night
I can’t keep my eyes off your red tail light
You know where we’re goin’
I know where where are
Set the rear view mirror for
the backseat or the car
Wo oh, love zone
You know what I mean
Wo oh, love zone
Live that fantasy
In your leather and chrome you’re all the rage
All you want to do is get backstage
You heard all the stories, are they true
The rock ‘n’ roll circus is calling you
When you get there baby
You’ll be hypnotised
Never seen nothin’ like it no,
You won’t believe your eyes
Wo oh, love zone
You know what I mean
Wo oh, love zone
Live that fantasy
Wo oh, love zone
You know what I mean
Wo oh, love zone
Live that fantasy
Everybody get in
Everybody get in that love zone

COME AND GET IT

Do you like it heavy
Do you love it mean
Do you want it dirty
We don’t play it clean
Standing in the spotlight
Ceiling the the floor
I can see you rockin’
Let me hear you roar
Turn it up
Tear it down
Hammering through
Can you feel the sound
Any day.  Any night
Midnight madness
Dynamite
If you want it
Come and get it
Do you want it
Come and get it
Can you feel the power
Blinded by the light
Keep on goin’ crazy
Burnin’ up the night
Shouting out together
Boiling like the sun
Metal lives forever
Blazing on and on
Turn it up
Tear it down
Hammering through
Can you feel the sound
Any day.  Any night
Midnight madness
Dynamite
If you want it
Come and get it
Do you want it
Come and get it
Do you like it heavy
Do you love it loud
If you want it
Come and get it
Do you want it
Come and get it

HARD AS IRON

Whipcrack, stings the sky
Don’t mess with me I’m danger
The meanest one alive
Earthquake, breaks the Richter scale
The more that you resist
The more the pain you’ll feel
I’m blazing on to glory
There’s thunder in my veins
And nothing stands before me
Forever I’ll remain
Hard as iron
Sharp as steel
Stop for no man
You better beg and kneel
Untouched, cold as ice
I’ll turn your blood to water
Strangle in my vice
Shock waves, bones to dust
You’re messin’ with a mine field,
so expect the worst
I’m blazing on to glory
There’s thunder in my veins
And nothing stands before me
Forever I’ll remain
Hard as iron
Sharp as steel
Stop for no man
You better beg and kneel
As I destroy, last thing you’ll hear me cry, is victory, is
victory
I’m blazing on to glory
There’s thunder in my veins
And nothing stands before me
Forever I’ll remain
Hard as iron
Sharp as steel
Stop for no man
You better beg and kneel

BLOOD RED SKIES

As the sun goes down, I move around
Keeping to the shadows
Life, hangs by a thread
And I’ve heard it said, that I’ll not see tomorrow
If that’s my destiny, it’ll have to be
So I’ll face the future
Running out of time
I’m on the line
But I’ll go down fighting
Felt the hand of justice
Telling wrong from right
Threw me out upon the street in the middle of the night
Cybernetic hearbeat
Digital precise
Pneumatic fingers nearly had me in their vice
Not begging you
I’m telling you
You won’t break me
You won’t make me
You won’t take me,
Under blood red skies
You won’t break me
You won’t take me
I’ll fight you under
blood red skies
Through a shattered city, watched by laser eyes
Overhead the night squad glides
The decaying paradise
Automatic sniper
With computer sights
Scans the bleak horizon for its victim of the night
They’re closing in
They’ll never win
You won’t break me
You won’t make me
You won’t take me,
Under blood red skies
You won’t break me
You won’t take me
I’ll fight you under
blood red skies
As the end is drawing near
Standing proud, I won’t give in to fear
As I die a legend will be born
I will stand. I will fight
You’ll never take me alive
I’ll stand my ground
I won’t go down
You won’t break me
You won’t make me
You won’t take me,
Under blood red skies
You won’t break me
You won’t take me
I’ll fight you under
blood red skies
You’ll never take me alive
I’m telling you
Hands of justice
I will stand, I will fight
As the sun goes down
I won’t give in to fear

I’M A ROCKER

The greatest times, I’ve ever known
They’re locked inside o’ me
and carved out of stone
I’ve broken hearts
Made people sing
I’ve drove a million miles
I’ve done everything
I’m a rocker. Oh oh
Do as I feel as I say
I’m a rocker. Oh oh
And no one can take that way
Bring on the night
That’s when I live
I come alive inside
Give all I can give
I live each day
Like it’s my last
I love for rock and roll
I never look back
I’m a rocker. Oh oh
Do as I feel as I say
I’m a rocker. Oh oh
And no one can take that away
I’m a rocker
And I’m always revvin’ up
I’m a rocker
I can never get enough
I’m a rocker
It’s something in my blood
I’m a rocker
Wouldn’t change it even if I could
I’m a rocker. Oh oh
Do as I feel as I say
I’m a rocker. Oh oh
And no one can take that away

JOHHNY B. GOODE

Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods amongst the evergreens
There stood an old cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
That never ever learned to read and write so well
But he could play a guitar just like ringing a bell
Go go.  Go Johhny go
Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Old engineer sitting in the shade
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
The people passing by would stop an say
 Oh my but how that little country boy could pay
Go go.  Go Johnny go
Johnny B. Goode
His mother told him someday you will be a man
And you will be the leader of a big old band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music till the sun goes down
Maybe some day your name will be in lights, saying
Johnny B. Goode tonight
Go go.  Go Johnny go
Johnny B. Goode

LOVE YOU TO DEATH

You get me up, then we both get down
We roll all night makin’ heavy sounds
I’m all tied up on your bed
I’d rather be inside your head
Don’t do this, do it like that oh yeah
You’ve hit the spot, give it all you got
I don’t care
I’ll teach you a lesson
That you won’t forget
Why don’t you save your breath
ŒCause I’m gonna love ya’ to death
I’m comin’ to the point, I can’t hold back
Then you ease off with your attack
You’re the best I’ve had if you please
You never stop, you great big tease
Don’t do this, do it like that oh yeah
You’ve hit the spot, give it all you got
I don’t care
I’ll teach you a lesson
That you won’t forget
Why don’t you save your breath
ŒCause I’m gonna love ya’ to death
You can take me places, I thought I’d never go
And when you turn your love on me
Baby you’re the star of the show
You can take me places, I thought I’d never go
And when you turn your love on me
Baby you’re the star of the show
I’ll teach you a lesson
That you won’t forget
Why don’t you save your breath
ŒCause I’m gonna love ya’ to death

MONSTERS OF ROCK

It started many years ago, out of the black country
The seed became the embryo, for all on earth to see
Like stealth the word spread mouth to mouth, all corners
of the land
And soon the thing began to grow, and get right out of hand
From the concrete jungle
The smoke, the dirt, the grime
Could not contain the hunger
It grew and grew in time, into a
Monster.  Monster of rock
They could never bind it
It vowed to reach the top
Monster.  Monster of rock
They could never bind it
Impossible to stop
Took the sound across the seas, the people stood in awe
At last the sound had come to them
That they’d been waiting for
And millions roared, and millions cheered,
This spectacle on stage
And everyone went crazy as it bellowed out in rage
From the concrete jungle
The smoke, the dirt, the grime
Could not contain the hunger
I grew and grew in time, into a
Monster.  Monster of rock
They could never bind it
It vowed to reach the top
Monster.  Monster of rock
They could never bind it
Impossible to stop
From the concrete jungle
The smoke, the dirt, the grime
Could not contain the hunger
It grew and grew in time, into a
Monster.  Monster of rock
They could never bind it
It vowed to reach the top
Monster.  Monster of rock
They could never bind it
Impossible to stop

Painkiller

Painkiller

Faster than a bullet
Terrifying scream
Enraged and full of anger
He's half man and half machine
Rides the Metal Monster
Breathing smoke and fire
Closing in with vengeance soaring high
He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller
Planets devastated
Mankind's on its knees
A saviour comes from out the skies
In answer to their pleas
Through boiling clouds of thunder
Blasting bolts of steel
Evils going under deadly wheels
He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller
Faster than a lazer bullet
Louder than an atom bomb
Chromium plated boiling metal
Brighter than a thousand suns
Flying high on rapture
Stronger free and brave
Nevermore encaptured
They've been brought back from the grave
With mankind ressurrected
Forever to survive
Returns from Armageddon to the skies
He is the Painkiller
This is the Painkiller
Wings of steel Painkiller
Deadly wheels Painkiller

All Guns Blazing

Twisting the strangle grip
Won't give no mercy
Feeling those tendons rip
Torn up and mean
Blastmaster racks the ground
Bent on survival
Full throttle hammers down
A deadly scream
All Guns, All Guns Blazing
Forced into overdrive
Drawn out of anger
All talons poison dipped
Impaling spike
Heart pounding fever pitch
Blood pumping fury
Two fisted dynamo
Eager to strike
All Guns, All Guns Blazing
Cross cutting thundercharge
Blade of destruction
Flame throwing hurricane
Destroys the cage
Bone crushing alien
God of salvation
Sad wings that heaven sent
Wipes out in rage
All Guns, All Guns Blazing

Leather Rebel

Hero of the night
Blood and thunder
Rushing through me
Till the dawn of light
The sky is turning red
Like a renegade
All alone I walk through fire
Till I crash and blaze
I'm living on the edge
Start a chain reaction
Sears the neon light
Stealing all the action
Always takes the fight
Leather Rebel
Lightning in the dark
Leather Rebel
With a burning heart
Master of the streets
Bullet proof and bound for glory
Cities at my feet
I'm turning on the power
Running wild and free
No-one dares to stand before me
That's my destiny
To rule the darkest hours
I can see my future
Writings on the wall
Legend in my lifetime
Stories will recall

Metal Meltdown

Something's calling
In the night
Electric madness
Roars in sight
Heat is rising
Blazing fast
Hot and evil
Feel the blast
Out of control
About to explode
It's coming at ya
Here comes the Metal Meltdown
Run for your lives
Can't stop the Metal Meltdown

Piercing lazer
Burning glaze

About to explode
It's coming at ya
Here comes the Metal Meltdown
Run for your lives
Can't stop the Metal Meltdown

Temperature is boiling
Magnifying might
Feeding like a virus

Shockwaves all around
Generating energy
Screams so loud
It's comin' - Meltdown
Start runnin' - Countdown

Night Crawler

Howling winds keep screaming round
And the rain comes pouring down
Doors are locked and bolted now
As the thing crawls into town
Straight out of hell
One of a kind
Stalking his victim
Don't look behind you
Nightcrawler
Beware the beast in black
Nightcrawler
You know he's coming back
Night Crawler
Sanctuary is being sought
Whispered prayers a last resort
Homing in its' cry distorts
Terror struck they know they're caught
Straight out of hell
One of a kind
Stalking his victim
Don't look behind you
Nightcrawler
Beware the beast in black
Nightcrawler
You know he's coming back
Night Crawler
As night is falling
The end is drawing near
They'll hear
Their last rites echo on the wind
Huddled in the cellar
Fear caught in their eyes
Daring not to move or breathe
As the creature cries
Fingernails start scratching
On the outside wall
Clawing at the windows
"Come to me" it calls
Atmosphere's electric
As it now descend the stairs
Hiding in the darkness
Is so futile from its glare
Death comes in an instant
As they hoped it would
Souls ascend to heaven
While it feasts on flesh and blood

Between The Hammer & The Anvil

Storm warning
But there's no fear
Lies forming
The sacrament lays bare
The sinner
Will testify
They'll suffer
When sacrificed on high
The burning sermons purge their evil words
Between the Hammer and the Anvil
Force rises
False rituals
Baptises
The body and the soul
Our union
Their fall from grace
Confession (confess your sins)
Will seal them to their fate
The burning sermons will survive their curse
Between the Hammer and the Anvil
Transgression
They prey on grief
Our mission
To purify belief
This altar
Gives power and light
They'll falter
While we are shining bright
The burning sermons consecrate their sin
Between the Hammer and the Anvil
Storm warning
But there's no fear

A Touch Of Evil

You mesmerise slowly
Till I can't believe my eyes
Ecstasy controls me
What you give just serves me right
Without warning you're here
Like magic you appear
I taste the fear
I'm so afraid
But I still feed the flame
In the night
Come to me
You know I want your Touch of Evil
In the night
Please set me free
I can't resist a Touch of Evil
Aroused with desire
You put me in a trance
A vision of fire
I never had a chance
A dark angel of sin
Preying deep from within
Come take me in
I'm so afraid
But I still feed the flame
In the night
Come to me
You know I want your Touch of Evil
In the night
Please set me free
I can't resist a Touch of Evil
Arousing me now with a sense of desire
Possessing my soul till my body's on fire
A dark angel of sin
Preying deep from within
Come take me in
I'm so afraid
But I still feed the flame
You're possessing me

One Shot At Glory

Let me hear the battle cry
Calling on the wind
Let me see the banners fly
Before the storm begins
Let me feel the spirits soar
Destroy the enemy
Striking at the evil core
For all the world to see
This day will last forever
Deep in the hearts of men
Courage and victory
Remember, remember
One Shot At Glory
In the crossfire overhead
Fate stands before me
Words have all been said
One Shot At Glory
Driving hard and seeing red
Destiny calls me
One night of fire
One Shot At Glory
Fighting on with dignity
In life and death we deal
The power and the majesty
Amidst the blood and steel
I still hear the battle cry
The call goes on and on
I still see the banners fly
The battle's always won
