Juggernaut Of Justice
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy)

My soul's a fire that you can't put out
An avalanche of power
Flowing like a river of endless smite
My hunger that will devour
Title wave of perpetual force
That will never die
Driving force with no remorse
The falling of the sky
Hurricane out of control
You know I'm coming your way
The aggression in my blood
Living for today

Chorus:
Juggernaut of justice
It's what we want to be
Juggernaut of justice
The truth will set you free

My desire is an endless void
Never to be filled
Eternal hunger that never dies
And never to be killed
Landslide of intensity
Never gonna stop
Loving power will devour
All the way to the top
Hurricane out of control
You know I'm coming your way
The aggression in my soul
Blow you all away

-Chorus-
Juggernaut of justice
Juggernaut of justice
Juggernaut of justice


When Hell Breaks Loose
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy)

Trapped aggression that needs explode
Fire all cannons ready for reload
Burning anger that's ready to ignite
Fists will fly and settle this tonight

Blistering vengeance, the hatred's alive
A grip on your throat, you'll never survive
Vicious emotion, begin to see red
Blood thirsty thoughts within your head

Chorus:
When Hell breaks loose
I'm ready to kill
When Hell breaks loose
You know I will
When Hell breaks loose
I'm ready to kill
When Hell breaks loose
You know I will

Anger burns the flame
Set to go insane
All are in a craze
Decimate and set it all ablaze

Tormented resentment, all you can find
Virtue and honour are in a decline
Brutal violence and boiling blood
Let it die drowning in the mud

-Chorus-

When Hell breaks loose
When Hell breaks loose
When Hell breaks loose

On Fire
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy)

The music flows so free
The songs inside of me
That never seem to fade
The many things I've seen
And everywhere I've been
And all the songs that I've played

The choices that I've made
That I would not betray
Then I would feel so lost
The voice that is within
That I could not begin
Without accepting the cost

Chorus:
On fire
On fire
I'm on fire
I'll never burn out
On fire
On fire
I'm on fire
Of this have no doubt

I know that I will never let go
I know that I will always grow

I love just what I do
Won't stop until I'm through
Never take me away
I give it all I got
You know I'll never stop
You know I'm here to stay

-Chorus-
On fire
On fire
I'll never burn out
On fire
On fire

Never going to give it up

Won't stop 'til I win the cup

Not afraid of being had
Not afraid when things go bad

I believe in my way
Til' the end of the day
Straight from the heart
The way I will behave
I will be brave
Right from the start

Conspiracy
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy)

People talking, but they just don't know
Truth is hidden, lies begin to flow
Broken phone, the facts go wrong
Great deception don't take long

Take belief in what they say
Before you know it, it's all gone astray

Conpiracy
It's a conspiracy
You'll never know it's a conspiracy
Conpiracy

The suspicion grows
What they let us know

Illuminati's society
Agendas to ruin the economy
Financiers are going bankrupt
Those responsible are all corrupt

Conpiracy
It's a conspiracy
Conpiracy
It's a conspiracy

Conpiracy
Conpiracy


Running
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy)

Getting off my ass
Getting on my feet
Gotta get going, I'm ready to compete
Keeping the pace
Gonna win the race
I'm running, I'm running, running for my life
I'm running, I'm running, running for my life

Off with a quickstart
Fast as I can go
Make it to the finish line is all I wanna know
Don't wanna be lame
Fonna win the game
I'm running, I'm running, running for my life
Living for the dream
Victory supreme
Winning is all that I like

-Verse 1-
I'm running, I'm running, running for my life
Running for my life

Living for the dream
Victory's supreme
Winning is all that I like


Paranormal
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy)

Shadow on my shoulder
Someone's watching me
Shadow on my shoulder
A lost entity
Subtle and silent
A whisper on the wind
Benevolent and quiet
Uneasiness sets in

Covert and controlling
Random acts of fate
Conscious yet consolling
Opportunity's the bait
Coincidence, cohesion
Right time and place
Spirit of believing
In that mindspace

Evidence can only be found within
Feel the presence under your skin
Shouldn't fear what you can't see
What will be is supposed to be
Let the spirit free

Shadow on your shoulder
Someone's watching you
Shadow on your shoulder
You can't believe it's true
Subtle and silent
A whisper on the wind
Benevolent and quiet
Uneasiness within

Paranormal, paranormal
Paranormal
Paranormal, paranormal
Paranormal

Evidence can only be found within
Feel the presence under your skin
Shouldn't fear what you can't see
What will be is supposed to be
Let the spirit free

The Station
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy)

Waiting at the station early in the day
Trying to catch a train to get me on my way
Walking around the station feeling alone
Just get me home

Chorus:
The station
The station

Empty faces all passing me by
The pain in my heart, my soul ?????
My thoughts that linger remain until I die
I said goodbye

I won't forget
I won't regret
All of the time we had
Now I'm all alone
On my way home
On my own

-Chorus-
The station

When the train comes and takes me away
Wishing and hoping won't make me stay
Another moment, just another day
I'm on my way

I won't forget
I won't regret
All of the time we had
Now I'm all alone
On my way home
On my own

-Chorus 2X-


Tonight Is Coming
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy)

Woke up this morning ready for the night
Rolled out of bed just to see the light
Gotta get going, gotta get on my way
To get to the night, gotta make it through the day
I long to see the setting of the sun
I just can't wait until this day is done

Chorus:
Tonight is coming
Tonight is coming
All day long
All day long
Tonight is coming
All day long
Tonight is coming
All day long
All day long

By midafternoon the sun is high in the sky
I'm just waiting for the light, the light to die
Time ???? so far away
Minutes seem like hours in a never ending day
Never ending day

-Verse 1-

-Chorus-
Tonight is coming
All day long
Tonight is coming
All day long
All day long


What I Want To Be

Being me is what I want to do
I want to make my dreams all come true
Dedication's what I've been taught
Hold on to what you got
Razor's edge ????

Music from the soul and imagination
Take away all my frustration
The world's locked out and I got the key
I'm the maker of my destiny

What I want to be

What I want to be

Being me is what I want to do
I make my dreams all come true

Hope In Hell
(Anvil original - don't know who specifically wrote it)

When damnation has begun
And there's nowhere to run
In yourself, do believe
What you put out will be what you recieve

You think that you're the only one
Who's chances are slim to none
Living just to find the way
Right from the start, true to your heart you must stay
You must stay

Hope in Hell
Finding love and losing hate
Hope in Hell
Enjoy your life, it's not too late
It's not too late

Salvation is all you need

When damnation has begun
And chances are slim to none
Live your life and find a way
Straight from the heart, right from the start everyday
Everyway
Why not today?
Everyday

Hope in Hell
Finding love and losing hate
Hope in Hell
Enjoy your life, it's not too late
Hope in Hell
Finding love and losing hate
Hope in Hell
Don't stand in line, ????? can wait


Eat Your Words
(Anvil original - don't know who specifically wrote it)

Eat, eat your words

Opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one
Got one
A ?????? crow, don't speak before you know
Eat, eat your words
Shoot yourself in the foot when all is said and done
Said and done
Burning fire
Go retire
Eat, eat your words
Eat, eat your words

Prove you wrong
You must stay strong

Swallow the poison and put you to shame
Put you to shame
Devour crow, don't speak before you know
Eat, eat your words
When you fail you have yourself to blame
Self to blame
Blind choice
Silent voice
Eat, eat your words
Eat, eat your words

Prove you wrong
You must stay strong

Eat, eat your words
Eat, eat your words

Eat your words


Through With You
(Anvil original - don't know who specifically wrote it)

I trusted your intention
I believed in the things you say
I though you were my friend
And figured that you would stay
I gave you what I could
But I could never give enough
I felt your empty pain
When the going got so tough

Chorus:
See you next Tuesday
Want to say to you
See you next Tuesday
I'm through with you
I'm through
I'm through
Through with you
I'm through
I'm through
Through with you

Insatiable hunger
For the things that could never be
Living in a dream world
And not reality

-Chorus-

I gave you my friendship
Of that you can't deny
Only a faint memory
Until the day I die
The end is a new beginning
Forward you must go
Only time will tell
Who is friend or who is foe

-Chorus-
I'm through
I'm through
Through with you
I'm through
I'm through


The Fight Is Never Won
(Anvil original - don't know who specifically wrote it)

Battles rage everyday
Never going to stop
Soon will come the final day
When the bomb will drop
Soon will come the judgement day
When the bomb will drop

Quest for revenge
The ancient driving source
Justified in war
The taking by force
?????
And the killing course
Vulgar acts of violence
More people die in vain.
?????
The concept is insane
The loss of humanity
Who can we blame?

Chorus:
Send us all to kingdom come
Leave us all, nowhere to run
When the fight is never won
The fight is never won
The fight is never won

On top of the food chain
That is where we stay
Predetor, instinctive
We live to kill our prey
?????
Killing is our way

-Chorus-

Will peace become an option
That people want to make?
Government involvement
Always on the take
Government corruption
Turns it all to fake
All for the gain of money
Taking what's not yours
The very truest evil
Is the waging of wars
The very truest evil
Is the waging of wars

-Chorus-
The fight is never won


Pay The Toll
(Anvil original - don't know who specifically wrote it)

Like walking into darkness
Not knowing what you'll find
Paying the piper
And leave my debts behind

Backwards and forwards
It will always be the same
Payback for closure
Learn to play the game

Chorus:
Pay the toll
Pay the toll
For rock 'n roll
Pay the toll
Pay the toll

In order to receive
Give everything I've got
Grateful for the chance
And taking my best shot

-Chorus-
For rock 'n roll

Bring light into the darkness
Knowing what you'll find
Planning for a future
Leave your fears behind
Forwards and backwards
It will always be the same
Payment for the glory
Is how to play the game
How to play the game

-Chorus-
For rock 'n roll
-Chorus-
For rock 'n roll


Flying
(Anvil original - don't know who specifically wrote it)

Toronto to Chicago, down to New Orleans
Cross the Atlantic, wind up in Aberdeen
Spring to Australia, a day is in the heat
Then back to Alaska, sled dogs race to compete

Chorus:
Taxi the tarmac, let's go
Leaving the ground, the engines groan
Into the blue sky we go
Flying
Flying 'round the world
Flying
Flying 'round the world

Brussels to Warsaw then down to Italy
Cross the Mediterranean, gone to Galilee

-Chorus-
Flying
Flying 'round the world
Flying
Flying 'round the world

Down throught The Philippines all in one day
Tel Aviv to Turkey then down through Greece
Back home to Canada to see our famous geese

Taxi the tarmac, let's go
Leaving the ground, the engines groan
Into the blue sky we go
Into the blue sky we go
Flying
Flying 'round the world
Flying
Flying 'round the world
Flying
Flying 'round the world
Flying
Flying 'round the world
Flying 'round the world
Flying 'round the world

And will to succeed

Call of duty
To live for more

Get set for confrontation
Take cover, kill or die

Fight the good fight
Do it large and do it right

To find and eat a meal
Survival of the fittest
A trial by ordeal

Hunger deep inside
Never to subside
Live or die
You must have tried

Chorus 1:
Fire at will
Take the blame and live the thrill

Like a dirty trick being played on you
Luck never comes your way
Roll the dice, it's a crap shoot
You'll be back the very next day
To win the prize you must realize
Being there, what it's about
Shed your fears, dry your tears
Leave yourself no doubt

-Bridge-

Chorus 2:
Fire at will
Just take aim and shoot to kill
Fire at will
Take the blame and live the thrill

Have a course of action
Making use of a plan
Contemplate the circumstance
Doing what you can
The hunt of desire
You must do it everyday
Hit and miss, living bliss
In the catching of your prey

-Bridge-

-Chorus 2 2X-
Live the thrill
