2000's LYRICS

Formulas equations for song
Memories that last a life long
Mixing of rhythm and riff
Multiplied by the players I'm with
Personal complete alliance

Groove science

Looking for just the right sound
Inspirations where it's found
Doing it with self reliance
Finding all the parts
Writing from our hearts

Groove science
Groove science

Absolute devotion for song
The science for writing is strong
Listening for just the right note
Learning from what we wrote
A breaking of all the silence
Finding all the parts
Writing from our hearts

Groove Science
Groove Science

Prophecies of Armageddon
The end of all we know
Like Atlantis lost and forgotten
When the winds of disaster blow

Pieces of shattered planets
Fragments of space debree
Atomic powered rocket
Won't keep us from our destiny

Ball of fire
Streak the sky
Ball of fire
Comets falling from the sky
Destructive force we can't defy
Ball of fire
Ball of fire

The universe and all it's wonders
Planets among the stars
Ripping and roaring thunder
When earth becomes a wasteland like Mars

Ball of fire
Streak the sky
Ball of fire
Comets falling from the sky
A force we can't defy

Ball of fire
Ball of fire
Ball of fire
Ball of fire

I know a guy you just can't trust
He's rotten to the core
I know a guy that will push you
Further than you've been before
Broken promises a pack of lies
Dishonest piece of shit
Broken jaw a blackened eye
Would more than do the trick

A burned out loser with nothing to lose
Always on the take
A burned out abuser with nothing to choose
Of that make no mistake

Chorus:
Brainless, heartless
Useless, clueless
Company you shouldn't keep
The creep , the creep, the creep
Will fuck you over
The creep , the creep, the creep

There's a moral for every story
This one has no end
There's a player who's never sorry
And you he'll soon befriend
Don't be surprised he'll be disguised
As someone that you know
Don't compromise just realize
What friends you must let go

-Chorus-

Mental fixation in a cyber dream
Daily addiction to the computer screen
Log in, sign in, tune your world out
Boot up, download, surfing about
Visual stimuli in your eyes to your mind
Habitual tool for all of mankind

Chorus:
Addicted, caught in the web
Unrestricted to what you've been fed
Computer drone
Computer drone

Click from link to fall in the net
Backwards and forward see what you get
Mental fixation in a cyber dream
Daily affliction to the up most extreme

-Chorus-

Computer, computer, computer drone
Computer, computer, computer drone

One step ahead, they're on your tail
Live or dead you're skipping bail
Over your shoulder, no time to stop
You're getting bolder watch out for a cop

A born thief on the lamb
His mother's grief, he don't give a damn
Has a rap sheet as long as my arm
An escapee from a work farm

Chorus:
Beat the law
Beat the law
Beat the law

Criminal on the loose
Escape the hangman's noose

Steal a car grand larceny
Won't get far committing a felony
On the run no place to hide
Ain't no fun, a kick in the pride

A dream team lawyer is what you need
A filthy liar to get you freed
You walk away an exonerated man
But everyday you'll be damned

-Chorus 2X-

Ring bell, fighters in the ring
Start match, begin the clobbering

Drop kick, caught up in the rope
Pin fall, for the man with no hope

Head butt, arm drag

Chorus:
Pro wrestling fight to win
Pro wrestling be the champion

Choke slam, below the belt a knee
Face lock, in steps the referee
Bear hug, cross face chicken wing
Monkey flip, gorilla press and fling

Toe hold, kick out

-Chorus-

Cage match, hell inside the cell
Hard core, blood the tale will tell
Choreographed, for the crowd appeal
Screen play, the pain is truly real

Back drop, eye gauge
Hip toss, kick out

-Chorus 2X-

Ocean of fantasy many fathoms deep
Calling in the darkness attracting you to seek

Luring lonely seaman to a perilous end
Shark infested waters on their eyes they can't depend
Obscured by fog and distance a maiden in the mist
Hear her call of singing your fate will have a twist

Chorus:
Siren, siren, siren of the sea
Siren, siren, siren of the sea

On the sea of years gone past many a sailor died
Searching the darkness when the lonely maiden cried
Run aground upon the reefs a desperate agony
When finding a woman of your dreams becomes your destiny

-Chorus-
Siren, siren, siren of the sea

Working your ass off every single day
Waiting for a pay cheque just to pay your way
A selfish boss with no money to spare
Watches you live in poverty you know he doesn't care

Chorus:
Disgruntled
Disgruntled

Rain or snow, wind or hail the postman's decree
Another day another dollar living ain't for free
Revenge and anger is your driving force
A gun in hand seems the only recourse

-Chorus 2X-

Rat race to nowhere, just to make a buck
Garbage can dinner on the street and out of luck
Broken dreams, broken home all because of money
Land of opportunity is not all milk and honey
When revenge and anger is your driving force
Then a gun to your head is the only recourse

-Chorus 2X-

You thought that metal was a trend
Got some news for you my friend
Anvil music is what I am
Really don't give a damn
If you think that we suck
I really don't give a fuck
I defy all the rules
Make the skeptics look like fools

Listen close I'll tell you why
I'll play my music till I die
My life is what I dedicate
To what I love not what I hate

Chorus:
Real metal
Real metal

Like addiction till death do part
Metal music straight from the heart
Not for money just for the cause
Love to hear the fan's applause
One hit wonders fly by night
The eternal oversight
It's true Anvil the real McCoy
It's my passion, pride and joy

-Chorus-

From Hard 'N' Heavy to Pound for Pound
From Worth the Weight to Speed of Sound
Donnington, Wacken, Brugge, in between
Still so much left unseen
All the songs all the places
All the fun in people's faces
To the diehard, I'm glad your there
If not for you I'd be nowhere

-Chorus 2X-

Frozen landscape, a winter sun
Darkened blanket, cocoon is spun
Planted seeds are waiting to grow

Thriving forests and jungle rain
Scorched deserts across the plain
The power of nature makes it so

Summer breeze
Winter freeze

City sky lines, smog filled air
Busy freeways of despair
The destructive forces of mankind

Avalanche of techno power
Counting down the final hour
The quest for knowledge is left behind
Left behind

Steaming geysers, lava flow
Formed the planet we all know
Divided the land from the sea
The fundamental ecology

Summer breeze
Winter freeze

Dying forests, no jungle rain
All's become a desert plain
The destructive forces of mankind

The results of techno power
When it's become the final hour
What will be the remnants left behind
Left behind
Left behind
Left behind
Left behind

Seduce my mind
Seduce my soul
Shit or go blind
No self control
All that I crave
All that I desire
I'll be diggin my grave
Until the day I expire

Chorus:
Stay away from me dirty Dorothy
Won't you let me be
Stay away from me dirty Dorothy
I've got to be free

The deadly embrace
A lasting affair
Unforgettable face
That doesn't care
Just another quick fix
It won't be my last
More dirty tricks
To take my money fast

-Chorus-

Crying out for help

I've tried to quit
I've pushed it away
Hooked on the shit
Just another day
Tar on the road
Tar in my lung
Like a heavy load
The final bell has rung

-Chorus 4X-

Not happy unless I'm miserable, sadness is my friend
A disaster waiting to happen that I can't comprehend
Born under a bad sign, the dark side of the moon
Sealed with my iron fist that pounds out my doom

You don't want to be like me

Sarcastic and cynicle has become my way
Waking up each morning to another perfect day
Misery needs company doesn't want to be alone
Have a seat stay awhile I'll knock you off your thone

Chorus:
You don't want to be like me
Misery's bad company
You don't want to be like me

The lines on my face the maps of my soul
Trials and tribulations are more than my goals
I might live to win but I was born to lose
Paying the price for the life that I choose
Staying in the saddle is all that I know
Holding on tight and never letting go
Been there, done that I'll do it 'till the end
Frustrated, underrated it's hard to pretend

-Chorus-

Sitting in my time machine blasting through all time
Watching fractured memories, my future is left behind
Seasons passing in a blink, days pass by to years
Take me to a better place, save me from my fears

Chorus:
The future, the past
New horizons, through time I blast
Race against time
Race against time

Past the golden gates of paradise in the land that time forgot
Retrieve the wishes of your dreams, the things in life you sought
Beyond your wildest fantasies, your eyes you won't believe
Pioneer a new frontier, another concept to conceive

-Chorus-

Race against time
Race against time

Travelled through the centuries of uncalculated time
When laws of physics are broken it's not considered a crime
You can stand and watch as battles rage and people die in vein
Like watching an old time movie over and over again

No future, no past
Lost horizon, will we last?
Race against time

Fire and brimstone, sulfur smell
The home of evil in the depths of hell
Cauldrons a-boil with blood and bone
Your soul is taken for the devil to own

In Hell
In Hell

Toxic air and intense heat
Burning embers upon your feet
Drawn and quartered, disemboweled
When serving Satan is what you've vowed

Fire's burning in Hell
In Hell

Tortured souls must pay the price
Victims of their own device
Banished to this forsaken place
To stare upon the demon's face

Fire's burning in Hell

In Hell
In Hell

Severed limbs and burned out eyes
No one cares and no one cries
On your knees you bend and cower
To bare your soul to be devoured

Fire's burning in Hell
In Hell
In Hell
In Hell

Jesus was crucified
Moses parted the sea
I saw it on a movie
On the TV
The bible is a book
That started with Adam and Eve
Filled with mambo jumbo
Do you believe?

Holy wood, Holy shit

David and Goliath
Man and morality
Wars in the Middle East
A taste of reality
Ishmael and Isaac
Brothers in hate
Prewritten history
Does it tell us our fate?

Holy holy holy wood, Holy shit
Holy wood, Holy shit
Holy shit

Our father who art in heaven (spit)

Written like a screen play
With morality implied
A priest diddles a choir boy
Truth can be denied
Politics, religion
Still go hand in hand
Draw you own conclusion
Draw your line in the sand
Jesus was crucified
Moses parted the sea
I saw it on a movie
On the TV

Holy holy holy holy wood, Holy shit
Holy wood, Holy shit

Dick Dale
Sure could wail
Haley rocked the clock
Chuck and Holly
Good golly Miss Molly
It was the birth of rock n roll
Beatles, Stones
Innovative tones
Hendrix burned his guitar
Acid rock
What a shock
Adolecence of rock n roll

Chorus:
Parents said it's wrong
Don't listen to the devil's song
Critics said it won't last long
After 50 years still going strong
Still going strong
Still going strong, never will die
Still going strong
Still going strong, I tell no lie

Jimmy Page
All the rage
Cream was over the top
Rod and Beck
Deep Purple's living wreck
Black Sabbath sold their soul

-Chorus-

Still going strong
Still going strong
Still going strong
Still going strong
Still going strong
Still going strong, never will die
Still going strong
Still going strong, I tell no lie

Priest and Maiden came along
Anvil makes a metal song
Like a club that you belong
Here we are still going strong

Never ending universe coming to an end
Oceans running dry, on what can we depend?
Alien abduction, sight a UFO
Decimated landscape, I don't want to know
Unanswered questions I ponder each day
Please don't you ask me, I have nothing to say?

Don't ask me for the answer
Don't ask me cause I don't know

Decomposing plastic, the sun going black
When will they push the button? When's the Messiah coming back?
Natural disaster, volcanoes erupt
Innocent convicted, justice is corrupt
Unanswered questions I ponder each day
Please don't you ask me, I have nothing to say

Don't ask me any questions
Don't ask me the status quo
Don't ask me for the answer
Don't ask me cause I don't know

Genetic engineering create a perfect clone
Find a cure for cancer, we're in the twilight zone
The end of all hostility, refugees set free
Peace and tranquility, the final destiny
Unanswered questions day after day
Please don't you ask me, I really can't say

Don't ask me any questions
Don't ask me the status quo
Don't ask me for the answer
Don't ask me cause I don't know
Don't ask me any questions
Don't ask me which way to go
Don't ask me for the answer
Don't ask me cause I don't know

Seems no matter what I do
I end up standing in line
I find myself in another queue
Give me some cheese for my wine
It doesn't matter where you go
It's always the same old thing
Feels like roots will begin to grow
When it's winter it will soon be spring

Caught in another traffic jam
The bank teller's broken a nail
You know I really don't give a damn
The cheque is in the mail
They said they'd pay me yesterday
I know it's always late
Just another wasted day
You've got to hurry up and wait

Chorus:
Waiting, waiting, always someone in front of you
Waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, it's something I hate to do
Waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting

Take a number, stand in line
That's what you must do
I've had enough, I have no time
Won't you tell me something new?
The waiting game has its rules
That you can't defy
I always seem to lose my cool
I'll be waiting until I die

-Chorus-

- instrumental -

Don't know where to begin
It comes from within
It's my story
Started as a boy
Music was my toy
It's my glory
Never passed a day
That I didn't play
My heart out
I'll never let it go
It's all I wanna know
That's what I'm about
That's what I'm about

I do it for the love
It's all I'm thinking of
It's in my heart
I feel it in my soul
It's my only goal
I do my part
Never will pass a day
That I won't play
My heart out
I'll never let it go
I'll just let you know
That's what I'm about
That's what I'm about

There's a plant that we all know
As sweet sativa
Long sticky leaves and a frosty glow
Sweet little diva
Sweet Sativa, never leave ya
Gets me through the stresses in my life

Sativa
Sweet sativa

Fragrant scent that you long to smoke
Sweet sativa
If you posses this to have a toke
I want to meet ya
Sweet Sativa, never leave ya
Gets me through depression in my life

Sativa
Sweet sativa
Cannabis sativa

Grown by nature down in Mexico
Sweet sativa
Don't say it's bad, I don't wanna know
I won't believe ya
Sweet sativa, I'll never leave ya
Gets me through the boredom in my life

Sativa
Sweet sativa
Sativa
Sweet sativa
Cannabis sativa

I don't care what you say
I just live for today
I just do what I feel
A brazen heart made of steel
Nothing can stop me
I do it my way

I'm defiant

You can't tell me what to do
To myself I know I'm true
I defy and break the rules
The masses are asses, a bunch of fools
Nothing can stop me
I do it my way
No one can blame me
For being this way

Chorus:
I'm defiant
Defiant

Against the grain is where I go
A rebel cause is all I know
A social misfit is on the loose
Making the life that I choose
Nothing can stop me
I do it my way
No one can blame me
For being this way

-Chorus 2X-

I don't care what you say
I just live for today
I just do what I feel
Brazen heart made of steel
Nothing can stop me
I do it my way
No one can blame me
For being this way

-Chorus 4X-

When all's been lost it's a heavy cost
When you're in a state of despair
Something you had that's all gone bad
Sometimes life isn't fair
Like a bad hand at poker, no ace, no joker
Find yourself in the red
Head in your sand is all you've got planned
It's best not to get out of bed

Depression, Depression

A loosing cause a time to pause
A moment to reflect
Feeling so blue, nothing to do
Keep your self respect
Don't give up, you could still win the cup
You've got to play to win
Don't despair you can make it fair
Give it another spin

Depression, depression

Thinking back when you were on track
You had it under control
But now you pay with this unlucky day
Dig yourself out of a hole
Filled with regret a losing bet
On the craps table of life
Bow your head down wearing a frown
Just another day of strife

Depression, Depression

- instrumental -

Fight
Stand up and fight
Fight for your right
Kill
In for the kill
Do what you will

Attack
Stabbed in the back
The whip starts to crack
Revenge
Oh, sweet revenge
Time to avenge

Fuel for the fire
Fuel for the fire

Boiling blood and fire
Gasoline to a flame
I'm just a live wire
Don't you know it's not a game?
It's not a game

Go
Go for the throat
Stand back and gloat
Hate
Deep rooted hate
When the anger is great

Fuel for the fire
Feed the flame
Fuel for the fire
Feed the flame
Fuel for the fire
Feed the flame
Fuel for the fire
Feed the flame
Fuel for the fire
Feed the flame
Fuel for the fire
Feed the flame
Fuel for the fire
Feed the flame
Fuel for the fire
Feed the flame
Feed the flame
Feed the flame

Stand at attention, be a masculine man
Keep on going for as long as you can
All it takes is just one little pill
Last all night and get your fill

Chorus:
Keep it up, keep it up
Keep it up, keep it up
Keep it up, keep it up
Keep it up, keep it up

Unending pleasure, a woman's delight
Unbending treasure that lasts all night
All it takes is just one little pill
Every night you can get a thrill

-Chorus-

Ow!
-Chorus-

Enhancing performance in a drug induced way
The modern world where the adults play
All it takes is just one little pill
If you haven't got it, you soon will

-Chorus 2X-

Once bit, twice shy
Just the average kind of guy
Loved and lost felt the pain
The need to start all over again
Heart broken, on the mend
The loss of that special friend
The look and feel of despair
War and love where it's all fair
You just want a place to hide, (place to hide)
Don't show the hurt you feel inside
Keep your feelings bottled up, (bottled up)
An abandoned ship you won't give up

Sing me a love song
Song of pain
Sing me a love song, (sing a song of pain)
They're one in the same, yeah

Started young and innocent
All the good times that were spent
Soft caress and sweet perfume
A hopeless love on it's way to doom
In time you grow apart
Feel the anguish of a broken heart
Caught in a love that didn't last
Cleanse yourself of the past
You just have to let it go, (let it go)
Try not to let your feelings show
You don't know where you went wrong, (where you went wrong)
Experience will make you strong

A love song
Song of pain

Sing me a love song
A song of pain, (sing a song of love)
Sing me a love song, (sing a song of pain)
Song of pain

Time passes, your heart grows cold
To the echo of the old
In with the new, on to the next
Love can be so complex
Once bit, twice shy
Just the average kind of guy
Loved and lost, felt the pain
The need to start all over again
You just have to let it go, (let it go)
Find someone new and let love grow
Seize the moment, don't take too long, (don't take too long)
Experience will make you strong

Sing me a love song
A song of pain
Sing me a love song
Extinguish the flame, (sing a song of love)
Sing me a love song, (sing a song of pain)
A song of pain, (sing a song of love)
Sing me a love song, (sing a song of pain)
Relinquish the blame

Something for nothing, a bargain, a steal
Used cars on credit card, lost another wheel
I'd like to get it for free
It's what the price should be
I just wanna pay less
I just have to confess
Quality and value, always wanting more
Tip my hat to the taxman, the revenue does poor
You get what you pay for

Cheap and stingy may have its own way
There's a lesson to be learned from being this way
You get nothing for free
You gotta let it be
You know you can't ignore
When you know the score
You get what you pay for
You get what you pay for
Get what you pay for

Nothing for nothing is the golden rule
Suckers born everyday, don't be left a fool
You get nothing for free
You get to pay the fee
You know you can't ignore
When you know the score
You get what you pay for
You get what you pay for
You get what you pay for
You get what you pay for

Murdering wilderness teaming with life
Cold blooded killers armed with mechanized knife
Razor sharp blades slicing limb from limb
When the motor is revving, let the cutting begin

Tooth picks from logs or pulp and paper
Raping a harvest, stealing from nature
Ravaging hillsides until nothing remains
Depleting oxygen, an industries pains

The chainsaw

At the core an industry
That makes its money from society
Give the people what they need
Take a forest, plant a seed

Slice and dice, chemically treat
Over and over it will repeat
Oak, maple, birch, and pine
The receding of the forest line

The chain of blades do spin round
Taking trees to the ground
Deadly cost to environment
Watch just where your money's spent

Supply demand is on the rise
Self destruction in disguise
Blades of steel that never stop
The cutting of another crop

The chainsaw
The chainsaw

-Verse 1-

The chainsaw
The chainsaw
The chainsaw
The chainsaw
The chainsaw

When you are a cheat, you will be beat, self defeat
If you're unaware, you best take care, life's not fair
Take control of your very soul
I hope you know what I mean

Don't get caught in the act behind your lovers back then deny the fact
When your hands in the jar, wish upon a star, you won't get far
Every soul has self control
You should know what I mean

Chorus:
Can't catch me, can't catch me, can't catch me foolin around
Can't catch me, can't catch me, can't catch me when my pants are down

When you think you're cool
And you've been found a fool
Don't blame me

Take my advice, don't think twice, you will suffice
Consequence, has no defense, you'll have to pay the price
Taking heed of your manly need
You know just what I mean

-Chorus 2X-

Everyone's a critic, opinions are for free
The only one that matters is the one that belongs to me
I used to be gullible, innocent, naïve
All the things I've seen and heard I can't believe

Chorus:
Lies, I hear everyday
Lies, I don't know what to say
Go away

Go away

Narrow minded, jaded, get too loud a voice
Freedom of the press and the freedom of choice
I used to be a believer in what I'd seen and read
I wish I knew the real truth, not the bullshit been fed

-Chorus-

The innocent stay uninformed, go on what they've heard
Take belief in anything, no matter how absurd
Lambs to the slaughter, victims of crime
Lost in a paper jungle 'til the end of time

-Chorus-

Well alright!
Living off the money of misery
It's a dog eat dog mentality
The corporate world is a pocket bleeder
Better watch out for the bottom feeder

Chorus:
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
Bottom feeder

Yeah!
Rob you blind just to make a buck
Kick you hard when you're down on your luck
The whole damn world is a money eater
Watch out for the bottom feeder

Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
-Chorus-

Hold on to your cash
A stock market crash
You better hide, hide your stash

Yeah!
Squeezing blood from the proverbial stone
Paying it off when your life's on loan
A card game with a cheater
Better watch out for the bottom feeder

Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
-Chorus-

Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder
Bottom feeder, bottom feeder

I was searching for tomorrow
Waiting for the sun to shine
In a cloak of deepest sorrow
Now forever 'til the end of time
A glimmer of hope, a light to follow
I'm just waiting for my time
To break through, make it to
Just where I want to be

Winding roads and false pretences
On deafened ears I make my plea
Signed in blood, I've lost my senses

Chorus:
Won't someone rescue me
Rescue me from a cruel world
Rescue me, rescue me
Rescue me from a cruel world

Confuse you, defuse you
Don't take the pride from me
Abuse you, refuse you

-Chorus-

I'm still searching for tomorrow
Waiting for the sun to rise
Living off the time I borrowed
Even after the countless tries
Fulfilled hopes, a light to follow
Unrelented 'til the day I die
Stop the pain, live again
Spare me from this agony

Rescue me
Rescue me from a cruel world
Rescue me, rescue me
Rescue me from a cruel world
Rescue me, rescue me
Rescue me from a cruel world
Rescue me, rescue me
Rescue me from a cruel world

Just one shot of nitrous, I'll leave you in the dust
Peddles to the metal, feel the engine thrust
The power of a monster raging under the hood
The sheer lust of power makes me feel so good

Chorus:
Fast driver, pass you on the curve
Fast driver, the power and the nerve

Low riding tires grip the road like glue
Hair pin corners, a breeze to get through
Five speed tranny and overhead cam
When the cops see me comin' they learn just who I am

-Chorus-
Fast driver, foot made of lead
Fast driver, wearing down the tread

Car race, on your mark get set go
Keeping the pace fast not slow
Car race, on your mark get set go
No time to waste, let's go, go, go
Go, go, go, go

Burning up the pavement, leave a trail of black
The smell of burnt rubber, I won't be comin' back
Fast as a bullet fired from a gun
Getting home alive is a race I've won

-Chorus-
Fast driver, foot made of lead
Fast driver, wearing down the tread
-Chorus-

Sweat was dripping off her chin
Slip and sliding her shiny skin
Too greasy to grab a hold
A sweat house momma so I've been told
Perspiration outta control, makes it so she's hard to hold
If she slips away don't blame me
Sweaty Betty

She'll wet you down without a doubt
When you leave you'll slide on out
Perspiration outta control, makes it so she's hard to hold
If she slips away don't blame me
Sweaty Betty

Soaked in sweat, shining away
Sexy in a slimy way
You bet your ass you'll get drenched
Don't get near that sweaty wench
Sweaty Betty

Tarot card and tealeaves
A crystal ball
The gypsy's kiss
The death cards call

Bad luck, misfortune
Superstitious belief
Good luck, a rebirth
And a sigh of relief

This is thirteen
This is thirteen

Cast a spell from the wave of a wand
The depths of hell, there's a voice from beyond

Palm reading, candlelight
Fortunes to tell
Fear the unknown
Under a spell

This is thirteen
This is thirteen

The fortuneteller's incantation
Rats in the cellar, abomination
Edge of your seat in anticipation

Reincarnation
Belief in a myth
Holding a séance
Is it the dead you're talking with?

This is thirteen
This is thirteen
This is thirteen
This is thirteen
This is thirteen
This is thirteen

Jets lift off
Armed to go
Sights lock on
Targets below
Objects marked
Cue bomb bay
Pull the trigger
Bombs away
Say your last goodbyes
We're coming to your skies
A reckoning this day
You threatened our shores
So now we'll come to yours
And make you all pay

Chorus:
Bombs away
Bombs away
Bombs away

Shells explode
Flashing light
Burning fires
Turn day to night
Head on back
Reload bay
Armed again
Bombs away
You don't stand a chance
Air Force has advanced
To blow you all away
Soon you'll understand
That we will burn your land
On this judgement day

-Chorus-

Much is gone
Fight's not done
Third wave
Has just begun
One to go
Mustn't stall
Do it now
Fuck ‘em all
Nothing you can do
We're coming after you
Today is the day
Pay for what you've done
We'll bomb you one by one
Until you all have paid

-Chorus 2X-

When you bite the hand that feeds
Destructive forces out to get you
When you can't fulfill your needs
You can't achieve what you want to

Chorus:
Burning bridges, a fire attack
Burning bridges, you can't go back

Unnecessary choice
Victim of your own decisions
Listen to your inner voice
Product of your own condition

-Chorus-

Feeling the pressure bearing down on me
Garbage or treasure, what's it going to be?

Failure or success
Balanced on the dividing line
Sins to confess
Ain't no one's fault but mine

-Chorus 2X-

Seeing the future through distorted eyes
Tainted by anger, stress and lies
Feeling the pressure bearing down on me
Garbage or treasure, what's it going to be?

-Chorus-

Controlling your actions
All for good or bad
Disposable transactions
For that, you should be glad

-Chorus 2X-

My blood's a boil and I'm in a rage
On with the onslaught, ripping rampage
Life's ambition, it will never fade
Stainless steel, tempered blade
Clenched fists, ready to go
One for the money, two for the show
When you're ready, you're good to go

When you're ready to fight
When you're ready to fight
When you're ready to fight

All comers, I will beat you all
I go all rounds, never going to fall
Strength to win can over take
Perseverance, make no mistake

When you're ready to fight
When you're ready to fight

Clenched fists, ready to go
One for the money, two for the show
When you're ready, you're good to go

Let's go!

My blood's a boil and I'm in a rage
On with the onslaught, ripping rampage
Strength to win and over take
Perseverance, make no mistake
Make no mistake
Clenched fists, ready to go
One for the money, two for the show
When you're ready, you're good to go

When you're ready to fight
When you're ready to fight
When you're ready
When you're ready to fight
When you're ready
When you're ready to fight
When you're ready to fight
When you're ready to fight

When you are lost and you can't find your way
Look for a landmark, as an eagle looks for prey
See the horizon, watch the sun going down
Into the darkness, light fades all around

Chorus:
Flying blind
Flying blind

Look at the ground as you fly overhead
Not the same as the flight plan said
Into the darkness, light fades all around
See the horizon, watch the sun going down

-Chorus 2X-

When you're flying and you just can't see
Just can't see where you're going to be
When you're flying and you just can't see
The forest from the trees

Travel in circles and going nowhere
Better or worse, you do what you dare
Take a chance and fly into the night
Blind as a bat, searching for the light

-Chorus 2X-
Flying blind
When you're flying and you just can't see
Flying blind
Just can't see where you're going to be
Flying blind
When you're flying and you just can't see
Flying blind

Dreaming up a nightmare and another sleepless night
Restless sedation with no end in sight
Fists clenched in anger, shivering in fear
Your blood begins to boil, dementia is near

Chorus:
Room number nine
Number nine

You're a rat in a maze and you're trying to find your way
You're climbing the wall and trying to get away
Running a race and going nowhere
Electroshock therapy, take all you can bear

-Chorus 2X-

Only a dream
It's only a dream
(It's not what it seems)
It's not what it seems
It's only a dream
(Only a dream)

Only a dream
It's only a dream
(It's not what it seems)
It's not what it seems
It's only a dream
(It's only a dream)

-Chorus-

Rubber room walls keep me from the pain
Need a shot of lithium to make it right again
Dream another nightmare, another sleepless night
Subconscious psychosis, wake up or die of fright

Room number nine
-Chorus 3X-
Room number nine

Resentment and anger gnaw at your mind
Just like disease that makes you go blind
Vengeance and hatred fill your soul
When getting even is your only goal

All the things that have been said and done
Never forgiven, the fight is won
Battle and conquest that will never end
In the land of business you have no friend

Chorus:
Axe to grind, axe to grind
Sparks will fly
Axe to grind, axe to grind

Vengeance that is blind
Plight on mankind
In blood, you have signed
After all you will find

-Chorus-

Burdened with truth, guilt will steal your soul
A fight to the death, the final toll
Red faced anger that will never be resolved
Only a friendship that's been dissolved

Axe to grind, axe to grind

Give me no heartache, bring me no pain
Eradicated like a nasty stain
Take away anger, you'll find hate
Take away hatred to change your fate

-Chorus-

Vengeance that is blind
Plight on mankind
In blood, you have signed
An axe you will grind

Feed
Feed

Count your pennies and don't spend a dime
Ripping yourself off is a crime
It's a crime
The lust for money, an obsession of life
Cheap son of a bitch, it cuts like a knife
Cuts like a knife
Steal a share
Do and dare
Don't steal from me

Chorus:
Feed, feed the greed
Feed, feed the greed

Another day, another dollar, another scam
Actions speak louder than the man
Than the man
Take you for a ride
Integrity's died
Don't lie to me

Feed
Feed

-Chorus-

When you're old you are sure to be alone
King among paupers, sitting on a throne
On a throne
Take your dough
You can go
Straight to hell

-Chorus-

-Chorus-

Big business, it's all around
Big business, let's bring it down
Big business, the FDA
Big business, the placebo way

Big business, Nike shoes
Big business, sweathouse blues
Big business, Tobacco Company
Big business for the mortuary

Nothing's free
Pay for it all
Can't you see?
Nations will fall

Chorus:
Big business
Big business
Big business
Big business

War for peace
The Middle East

Big business, the Church always wins
Big business, paying for sins
Big business, oil prices
Big business, war devices

Nothing's free
Pay for it all
Rising fee
Nations will fall

-Chorus 2X-

In the lottery of life you need a ticket to win
Gotta know where you come from, gotta know where you've been
Throw the dice, take a chance, got to let it roll
Crap game of life, trying to reach your goal

Should' a would' a could' a
Should' a would' a could' a

Never say you're sorry for things you should have done
The power and the glory, when you've finally won

Hey

Chorus:
Should' a would' a could' a
When you want to right a wrong
Should' a would' a could' a
Take a chance before it's gone
Should' a would' a could' a
Fight before you fall
Should' a would' a could' a
When your back's to the wall

You must be brave and fearless, strength to survive
Determined and relentless, a love that never dies
That never dies
That never dies

Life is like a card game, a good hand makes you win
Gotta know your enemies before the war begins
Stock and bond markets, ringing the bell
Is there money in your pocket? Have you something to sell?

-Chorus-
Should' a would' a could' a
Decisions on the fly
Should' a would' a could' a
A case of do or die

Hey
Should' a would' a could' a
Should' a would' a could' a
Should' a would' a could' a
Should' a would' a could' a

Chorus:
Worry
Worry
Worry

From the morning until the night
Anticipation, on my nails I bite
Another problem to resolve
Another problem to evolve
Everyday it's something new
In everyway it gets to you
I tell myself it will be ok
I can't wait another day

-Chorus-

Sweaty palms and twitching brow
To make it stop, I don't know how
There's no end to feel this way
Another worry, another day
My nerves are shattered like broken glass
My mind is scattered, I just can't last
Feeling tension, my head it aches
All my attention, for goodness sake

-Chorus-
All day long
-Chorus-

-Chorus-
All day long
-Chorus-

Sky is falling on my head
It won't stop until I'm dead
Teeth are gritted and locked in stress
On a Bible, I must confess

-Chorus-
All day long
-Chorus-

Life can be just like a Game Boy
Filled with frustration and joy
Pressing A or B, make a choice
Now responding to the computer's voice
You've started and there's no turning back
Over and over, you'll soon have the knack
The chances are you will lose
The challenge never seizes to amuse

Chorus:
Game over, game over
Game over, game over
Game over, game over
Back to start

One step forward and two steps back
Falling victim to the enemies attack
Evasive manoeuvres, try to score
When it all ends, you'll still want more

-Chorus-
Game over, game over
Game over, game over
Game over, game over
Learning the art

Honing your skills in hours of play
Taking your time and wasting your day

Patients and practice, all it takes
Beating the game, records to break
Life can be just like a Game Boy
All filled with frustration and joy

-Chorus-
Game over, game over
Game over, game over
Game over, game over
Learning the art
Game over, game over
Game over, game over
Game over, game over
Game over, game over
Game over, game over
Game over, game over

Searching for a place to hide
Running from those you've defied
Forsaking the land of the free
Leaving American policy

Trying to make a change
Hoping to rearrange
Planning a strategy
Going to be a refugee

Status of a free man
U.S. government banned
Anywhere is a place to be
You've just got to be free

Chorus:
American refugee
American refugee
American refugee
American refugee

-Verse 1-
Got to be free

-Chorus 2X-

Thumbs will twist, can you resist?
Beware the names on the inquisitor's list

Trial by fire, the holy desire
Religion and rule can be so cruel

Chorus:
All in the name of the cross
Thumbhang
Thumbhang

Word of the Pope, the loss of all hope
Maniplulation is here, governed by fear

-Chorus-

Mounted on horses, inquisitors ride
At the end of their spears the heathens died
Forced to confess they prayed as the lied
Prayed as they lied

Tortured and prisoned and sentenced to die
When it's the Church you weren't meant, meant to defy

Faith and soul, state of control
Money to steal, government's deal
Tortured and shamed, who could be blamed?
Using the cross, the lives that were lost

All in the name of God

Thumbhang
Thumbhang
Thumbhang
Thumbhang
Thumbhang

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight

I've got my clipboard, text books; lead me to the station
Yeah, I'm off to the civil war
I've got my kit bag, my heavy boots; I'm runnin' in the rain
Gonna run 'til my feet are raw

Slip kid, slip kid, second generation
I'm a soldier at thirteen
Slip kid, slip kid, realization
There's no easy way to be free
No easy way to be free

It's a hard, hard world

I left my doctor's prescription bungalow behind me
I left the door ajar
I left my vacuum flask full of hot tea and sugar
Left the keys right in my car

Slip kid, slip kid, second generation
Only half way up the tree
Slip kid, slip kid, I'm a relation
I'm a soldier at sixty-three
No easy way to be free

Slip kid
Slip kid
So keep away old man, you won't fool me (background: Slip kid)
You and your history won't rule me (background: Slip kid)
You might have been a fighter, but admit you failed (background: Slip kid)
I'm not affected by your blackmail (background: Slip kid)
You won't blackmail me

-Verse 1-

Slip kid, slip kid, slip out of trouble
Slip over here and set me free
Slip kid, slip kid, second generation
You're slidin' down the hill like me
No easy way to be free
