Symphonic Terror

They're running wild
They're on a down hill ride

Like a rebel they look for more
Too young to die

Now you know your dreams are useless
And there 're lies You'll never tell

'Cause you're so
Restless - restless and wild
Restless - restless and wild
Restless - restless and wild
Restless - restless and wild

Star born lovers
Angels in the night on a highway
They don't look back
Everybody's lost the way - yeah

The little girl wants to be an actress
Young boys are easy riders

They live so
Restless - restless and wild
Restless - restless and wild
Restless - restless and wild
Restless - restless and wild

Stay down - time will roll on
How do you feel when the night is gone
Stay down - time will come 'round
You are the man made for highway life
For the highway life

City lights moving on
No tomorrows - no destinations
Like a wheel turning on and on
You're a man born to run

Every world that you have seen was senseless
Keep moving on there's no other way

Cause you're so

Restless - restless and wild
Restless - restless and wild
Restless - restless and wild
Restless - restless and wild

Running through the jungle
Way back in '78
Here's the story of the people's temple
And my great escape
Communing with a madman
The promise of utopia
White nights, suicide drills
Shades of things to come

He said

We're gonna mix it up
Add the cyanide
Then we'll drink it up
You're gonna feel so fine

I said

Don't drink the Koolaid
Don't taste the holy water
Don't drink the Koolaid
No matter what the preacher - what the preacher says

The day of disaster struck
The murders did begin
His sheep drank it willingly
While mothers force fed their kin
33 escaped this hell
Some would call it fate
That's how I lived to tell the tale
About the day he mixed the grape

He said

We're gonna mix it up
Add the cyanide
You better drink it up
You're gonna get so high

Don't drink the Koolaid
Don't taste the holy water
Don't drink the Koolaid
No matter what the preacher says

Don't drink the Koolaid
Don't you down the holy water
Don't drink the Koolaid
Don't believe a word he says

Most of the congregation
900 dead
Jones found his own way out
A bullet to the head

Don't drink the Koolaid
Don't you taste the holy water
Don't drink the Koolaid
No matter what the preacher says

Don't drink the Koolaid
I won't down the holy water
Don't drink the Koolaid
No matter what the preacher
What the preacher says

In the cool of the evening, when the fires start burning bright

Hear the twilight callin', as the flames burst into the night

It's creeping in your bloodstream, like a Metal disease

Underneath the streetlights, everything is larger than life

Ya hear the roar, see it gleaming like the edge on a switch-blade knife

A worldwide eruption, underneath your skin

Worldwide corruption, slowly seeping in,

It's a pandemic

It's a metal disease, pandemic

Brain cell abduction, creeping in like sin, it's a pandemic,

'A metal disease, pandemic

Brain cell destruction, breeding metal from within,

Whaaaa!!!!

Give into the venom, circulating underneath the skin

Like mercury poison, liquid metal boils within

Spreading like a wildfire, burning up the earth

Caught in the crossfire, all around the world

There's no way to stop it now,

It's a pandemic

It's a metal disease, pandemic

Burnt in your hard drive, smokin' up the earth, like a Pandemic

A pandemic, it's a metal disease

Pandemic, wow, it's a metal disease

Pandemic, caught in the barbed wire, it's underneath the skin

It's a pandemic, it's a metal disease

Pandemic

It's creeping in your bloodstream

It's a pandemic, it's a metal disease

A feeling, a presence,
Time is of the essence
A fear that you'll be left alone
A warning, a presence
Delivery of a message
It's all there in the unknown

Alerting, averting
It's all disconcerting
Shots ring out from afar
Swerving, observing
The sound is a piercing screech
Of a speeding car

It's your final journey
Destination unknown!
On your final journey
You'll be travelling alone

A pitching and rolling
Sensation controlling
You strike while the iron's a glow
Sensing the danger
One look from a stranger just passing
Somehow you know

It's your final journey
Destination unknown!
On your final journey
You'll be travelling alone

Urgent, urgent
Somehow it's all converging
Your instincts tell you to run
Away from the blackness, the fear and the madness
Onward, into the sun

It's your final journey
Destination unknown!
On your final journey
You'll be travelling alone

In timeless tower high midst dead of night
Entwined in struggling moonbeams misty light
Unshadowed figur, clad in mantled grey
Looks not, feels naught
Starres eastwards

To think of once upon a time
Of Camelot and quests to find
Powers to deceive death's misty shawl
Wizard, be it for yourself or dead lady and leige
That you weep?

On Spanis plain marched your royal sire
To burn his bridges on God's holy fire
Struck down by horse and moorish battle blade
Alone, to this end, your fate

But hesten now, as skies grow black
And forces mass to take you back
Mere moments, to a time that seems
So distant, and so very long ago

There's rain on the mountain
A white frost on the moors
It's an epoch of eternity
Waters touch the holy shore

It's a land of mystery
The world of unseen eyes
You can feel the shadow of a princess
She waits for you inside

The guardians of God play the pawns
Beg for mercy - hail the queen
Princess of the Dawn

In the war of the dragons
Young blood ran it's course
They fell to his blade
The knight Iron Horse

A forgotten priest
Disappearing in the haze
A chamber of vestal virgins
Twilight is her slave

The Wizard of Oz moved the pawns
Life for Satan - dust to dust
Princess of the Dawn

On the day of the testament
The seventh moon was raging fire
Heaven cried for the sacrifice
The midnight sun was rising higher

The Beauty and the Beast
Lies in her royal crypt
Her kiss is bitter sweet
Death upon her lips

The Holy Grail held the pawns
Kings and bishops bow to grace
Princess of the Dawn

The guardians of God play the pawns
Beg for mercy - hail the queen
Princess of the Dawn

A new day dawns for heaven and earth
A first sunbeam is killing the night
Once upon a time for ever more
The gloom with the spirit of that Lady in White

Princess - Princess - Princess of the Dawn
Princess - Princess - Princess of the Dawn
Princess - Princess - Princess of the Dawn
Princess - Princess - Princess of the Dawn

Out along the Volga
My mind's set to kill
Men standing ground with iron will

Death march approaching
Evil in stride
Never give quarter to the other side

Gunfire and bloodshed
Shredding flesh and bone
As young men die in the killing zone

Through streets to factories
Fighting hand to hand
Be prepared to die for the motherland

(Oh, sing it)

So hungry, so cold
But there can be no surrender
For creed and pride, take hold
Blood is the cry
We'll kill or die

For Stalingrad
Stalingrad
We'll kill or die
Stalingrad
Yeah, blood is the cry

(Let me hear you)
It's the battle of Stalingrad

Two soldiers dying
Battered and blind
Enemies no more, they've come to find

Mission forgotten
Now brothers in death
They hold each other abreast to the final breath

So hungry, so cold
But there can be no surrender
For creed and pride, take hold

So hungry, so cold
We're only following orders
We gave our hearts and souls
Brothers we fight, frozen in time
In Stalingrad

Stalingrad
Frozen in time
Stalingrad
Yeah, brothers we fight

It's the battle of Stalingrad, hey

Stalingrad

Stalingrad
Frozen in time

The battle of Stalingrad

Yeah, the battle of Stalingrad

Stalingrad
Stalingrad

There's a space in the darkness, where a fire still burns
It's beyond a reason, past point of no return
There's a hunger that's calling, and the fever runs wild
It's where the light throws shadows on the thoughts of every child

Deep within this hallowed chamber where two worlds collide
If you open up the door, don't cross the line

You know it's tearing me apart
This is the dark side of my heart
And I knew it from the start
There in the dark side of my heart

Just a slave to the shadows, just a pawn in the game
Drawn to the slaughter like a moth before a flame
It's the good and the evil, walking side by side
You can feel it coming, but there is no place to hide

Tell me all your darkest secrets and I'll tell you mine
Open up the door but don't cross the line

You know it's tearing me apart
This is the dark side of my heart
And I knew it from the start
There in the dark side of my heart

There's an ager on my shoulder
But the devils whisper in my ear
It's the battle old as time itself
A taunt that never disappears

Tell me all your darkest secrets and I'll tell you mine
Open up the door but don't cross the line

You know it's tearing me apart
This is the dark side of my heart
And I knew it from the start
There in the dark side of my heart

You know it's tearing me apart
This is the dark side of my heart
And I knew it from the start
There in the dark side of my heart

There's a space in the darkness, where a fire still burns
It's beyond a reason, past point of no return
There's a hunger that's calling, and the fever runs wild
It's where the light throws shadows on the thoughts of every child

Deep within this hallowed chamber where two worlds collide
If you open up the door, don't cross the line

You know it's tearing me apart
This is the dark side of my heart
And I knew it from the start
There in the dark side of my heart

Just a slave to the shadows, just a pawn in the game
Drawn to the slaughter like a moth before a flame
It's the good and the evil, walking side by side
You can feel it coming, but there is no place to hide

Tell me all your darkest secrets and I'll tell you mine
Open up the door but don't cross the line

You know it's tearing me apart
This is the dark side of my heart
And I knew it from the start
There in the dark side of my heart

There's an ager on my shoulder
But the devils whisper in my ear
It's the battle old as time itself
A taunt that never disappears

Tell me all your darkest secrets and I'll tell you mine
Open up the door but don't cross the line

You know it's tearing me apart
This is the dark side of my heart
And I knew it from the start
There in the dark side of my heart

You know it's tearing me apart
This is the dark side of my heart
And I knew it from the start
There in the dark side of my heart

Rollin' just like thunder
Tryin' to get you down
Mistreatin' everything
If you were king he'd take your crown

If you were a dead man
He'd take ya from your grave
He will not mourn for you or me

Happiness he cannot feel
And love to him is so unreal
He burns like hell, he wants you dead
Altogether hates all he feel
Movin' like a spider killin' off a fly
No hands, just fists, no heart, just rocks

Icicle brains
Bicycle chains

Rulin' like a tyrant
Teasin' everyone around
Drags his legs, he plants his feet
Botherin' the ground

Here and now this man you see
Plans his terror free
He's born to rule, a king to be

Icicle brains
Bicycle chains

He's a breaker
He will take ya
Destroyin' all around you

He's a breaker
He's a taker
He'd kill, maim, destroy to the end

Movin' like a spider
Fealin' on the rest
Rulin' like a tyrant
Tyrannosaurus rex

You could be a dead man
And you won't know why
No hands, just fists
No heart, just rocks

Icicle brains
Bicycle chains

He's a breaker
He will take ya
Destroyin' all around you

He's a breaker
He's a taker
He'd kill, maim, destroy to the end

So cold and lonely
It seems so long since someone was here
Following the shadows
With the sun till it disappears
Thousands of stone white crosses
A formation for all to see
With flags and flames
The ranks and the names of those
Who died to be free

Yes the fire remains in our hearts
All of our dreams made new
Etched in the flames of freedom
We're living on through you

We're the Shadow Soldiers
Laid to rest standing tall
Shadow Soldiers
In freedom you live
That's why we've given it all

Taken too soon from the lives we loved
A misery I can not explain
Only when we feel your presence
Are we sure we did not die in vein

Yes the fire remains in our hearts
All of our dreams made new
Etched in the flames of freedom
Are these words
Oh so true

We're living on through you

We're the Shadow Soldiers
Laid to rest standing tall
Shadow Soldiers
In freedom you live
That's why we've given it all

Yes the fire remains in our hearts
All of our dreams made new
Etched in the flames of freedom
We're living on through you

We're the Shadow Soldiers
Laid to rest standing tall
Shadow Soldiers
In freedom you live
That's why we've given it all

Shallow Soldiers

Laid to rest standing tall
Shadow Soldiers
In freedom you live
That's why we've given it all

Once upon a midnight, the metal flag was raised upon him
Long ago a sabbath black cut through the purple haze
Upon a silver mountain, a message loud and clear
Screaming with a vengeance that we will forever hear

They're the pride of our ages
In their anthems we trust
Like denim and leather
And diamonds and rust

Here's to a rocking warriors
Here's to our heroes and friends
And those who've gone before us
We're loyal, straight 'til the end

They're the last of a dying breed
And we salute you
The last of a dying breed, ooh

The zeppelin led it's voyage thru skies of purple deep
The guillotine come crashing down and heads rolled in the streets
And in a land down under, highway to hell was paved
An iron fist cut the deck and drew the ace of spades

They're the pride of our ages
In their anthems we trust
'Cause it's metal to metal
And dust to dust

Here's to a rocking warriors
Here's to our heroes and friends
And those who've gone before us
We're loyal, straight 'til the end

(Sing it) They're the last of a dying breed
And we salute you
The last of a dying breed, hey

Here's to our rocking warriors
Here's to our heroes and friends
And those who've gone before us
We're loyal, straight 'til the end
Let me hear you

They're the last of a dying breed
And we salute you
The last of a dying breed

I wanna hear you, fuckers
Let me hear you
They're the last of a dying breed
The last of a dying breed (louder)
(The last of a dying breed)
They're the last of a dying breed

The last of a dying breed

Fog in the streets
A church clock beats
Midnight - darkness all around

You better beware
You better take care
Be prepared for the shock

The time has come
And he's the one
Who's breathing down your neck

Coming from behind
Now it's your time
A loser will die

Fast as a shark he'll cut out of the dark
He's a killer - he'll rip out your heart
On a one way track and you're not coming back
'Cause the killer's on the attack

Surprise attack
Coming from the back
An expert of the deadly knack

Just take care
Just beware
Be prepared for the fight

Fast as a shark he'll cut out of the dark
He's a killer - he'll rip out your heart
On a one way track and you're not coming back
'Cause the killer's on the attack

Watch out - watch out
Fast as a shark he'll cut out of the dark
He's a killer - he'll rip out your heart
On a one way track and you're not coming back
'Cause the killer's on the attack

Fast as a shark he'll cut out of the dark
He's a killer - he'll rip out your heart
On a one way track and you're not coming back
'Cause the killer's
'Cause the killer's
'Cause the killer's on the attack

It is 1999
The human race has to face it
They are confronted with the truth
It's secret, mysterious

A surgeon said it in the news
The human race is dying
But the result is no disease
Searching for you

Metal heart, metal heart
They found it everywhere
Metal heart, metal heart
Lifeless piece of steel

The scaring fact was even told
Total confusion
They found the same nightmare
Heartbeats, timebombs

Metal heart, metal heart
Unplugged they're dying
Metal heart, metal heart
Unplugged they die

Metal heart, metal heart
They found it everywhere
Metal heart, metal heart
Lifeless piece of steel

Metal heart, metal heart, metal heart
Unplugged they're dying
Metal heart, metal heart

Back to the front lines, back to the night

Medieval marauders, under the lights

Back for the plunder, the thrill of the flames

The roar of the thunder, back in the game

Storming the castles, swords in the air

Killing the monsters in their own lair

Lighting the torches, setting the stage

You get what you ask for, right in the face

Six string sabers, screams in the night

War clubs pounding, living just for the fight

So we drive, through the night

With the howling wind at our backs

Riding on Teutonic terror

We will, give em' the axe

We will, give em' the axe

String up the razors, sharpen the blades

Tighten the skins up, no one escapes

Crank up the grindstone, load up the sleds

Saddle the horses, off with their heads!

Six string sabers, screams in the night

War clubs pounding, living just for the fight

So we drive, through the night

With the howling wind at our backs

Riding on Teutonic terror

We will, give em' the axe

We will, give em' the axe

For the roar, of the crowd

For the raging frontal attack

Delivering the Teutonic terror

We will, give em' the axe

We will, give em' the axe

So we drive, through the night

With the howling wind at our backs

Riding on Teutonic terror

We will, give em' the axe

For the roar, of the crowd

For the raging frontal attack

Delivering the Teutonic terror

We will, give em' the axe

We will, give em' the axe

Too many slaves in this world
Die by torture and pain
Too many people do not see
They're killing themselves, going insane

Too many people do not know
Bondage is over the human race
They believe slaves always lose
And this fear keeps them down

Watch the damned (God bless ya)
They're gonna break their chains (Hey)
No, you can't stop them (God bless ya)
They're coming to get you

And then you'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall, balls to the wall

You may screw their brains
You may sacrifice them, too
You may mortify their flesh
You may rape them all

One day the tortured stand up
And revolt against the evil
They make you drink your blood
And tear yourself to pieces

You better watch the damned (God bless ya)
They're gonna break their chains (Hey)
No, you can't stop them (God bless ya)
They're coming to get you

And then you'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall, balls to the wall

Balls to the wall
Balls to the wall
Balls to the wall
Balls to the wall

Watch the damned (God bless ya)
They're gonna break their chains (Hey)
No, you can't stop them (God bless ya)
They're coming to get you

And then you'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall

You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
