| Yesterday is dead and gone |
|---|
The fire's inside us tonight
These bridges will burn so bright
Tomorrow there's no life
No more power 's chains
Reaching for the life beyond
We will rise to the dark again
Ready to fight for what we believe to be right
Yesterday is dead and gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Breaking the chains
Shaking the cage
Heed our war cry
Let there be no doubt
We walked out
This is reckoning time
[Chorus]
We are standing in the flames
Reaching for the sky
Fight to the end
Yesterday is dead and gone
Under a blood red sky
Our voice will be heard
In a world
Where compassion is lost
You try to control us
This is so absurd
Freedom will be won at any cost
[Pre-Chorus]
Breaking the chains
Shaking the cage
Heed our war cry
Let there be no doubt
We walked out
This is reckoning time
[Chorus]
We are standing in the flames
Reaching for the sky
Fight to the end
Yesterday is dead and gone...
...Yesterday is dead and gone...
[Pre-Chorus]
Breaking the chains
Shaking the cage
Hear our war cry
Let there be no doubt
We walked out
This is reckoning time...
...This is reckoning time...
...Yesterday is dead and gone...

All danger trust
In the end there is no relief

| Under black flags we march |

Your hate is our trigger
Revolution now
The more we have to suffer
The more we will fight
With Our Fists up in the air!
Legions marching - Ready to fire
These streets will burn - Let the black flag rise
Legions marching - Ready to fire
Empires of corruption - Crash and fall
Under black flags we march...
The voice of rebellion - Calls your name
Servants of the truth - Are standing tall
With Our Fists up in the air!
Legions marching - Ready to fire
These streets will burn - Let the black flag rise
Legions marching - Ready to fire
Empires of corruption - Crash and fall

| No gods, no masters |
|---|
Here I am, back to the wall,
I picked the fight against the time,
Free at last I go my own way,
I will resist them, till the day I die,
I am who I am; my time has come.
I am who I am, take it or leave it,
A rebel at heart,
No gods, no masters,
My time has come.
There is no second place,
No perfect world,
Your head is whole,
Freedom in your heart,
Be strong; take this chance,
Make your way; a better future comes.
I am who I am; my time has come.
I am who I am, take it or leave it,
A rebel at heart,
No gods, no masters,
My time has come.
No gods, no masters.
What doesn’t kill us make us stronger.
Locked and loaded ready to strike,
You stand loud and proud, united as one.
I am who I am, take it or leave it,
A rebel at heart,
No gods, no masters,
My time has come.

| City of the dead |
|---|
In this city of broken dreams
Monuments of death arise
This is the Necropolis
Where the nameless live and breathe
Rotten tombs of ancient kings
Days of glory are gone
A mockery to the living souls
Confined in darkness
Trapped inside these walls
Between their father's bones
Stillborn to this world
All their hopes are lost
Doomed to live on a burial ground
An empty shrine their home
The poorest of society
Find some shelter but no peace
Children play between the stones
Laughter echoes from the walls
Their cradle of innocent joy
Will be their grave of sorrow
Trapped inside these walls
Between their father's bones
Stillborn to this world
All their hopes are lost
No safety, no dignity, no light, no justice,
no future, no home and nowhere to go
Their misery, frustration, anger, depression,
sadness, madness will drown in hatred
[Lead - Michael / Christopher]
Trapped inside these walls
Between their father's bones
Stillborn to this world
All their hopes are lost

| Through the eyes of a raven |
|---|
Broken bodies stiff from storms
Our spirits scarred to ice
The only witness left alive
The raven and its staring eyes
Taste the blood
Hear their cries
Horrifying genocide
We lost our paradise
Through the eyes of the raven
See the slaughter, your crimes
They will remember
And so shall I
[Melody - Christopher]
When I die
Let the ravens fly
Let my body lie
Under snow and blood
The wolves of war at your throat
Leave nothing but severed bones
Scattered upon battlefields
Life is the price you pay
He who is proud is not for long
He who is brave will be destroyed
Your murder a heavy crown
Layered with thorns of shame
Through the eyes of the raven
See the slaughter, your crimes
They will remember
And so shall I
[Melody - Christopher]
When I die
Let the ravens fly
Let my body lie
Under snow and blood
[2x]

| Cruelty without beauty |
|---|
Disinfected torture chamber
price of fear
If there walls could talk and scream
[Pre-Chorus]
No life outside
No in between
[Chorus]
CRUELTY WITHOUT BEAUTY !!
Victims have no voice
Let the lies
[Pre-Chorus]
No life outside
No in between
[Chorus]
CRUELTY WITHOUT BEAUTY !!
[SOLO]
The blood cannot be washed clean
Realise they, in your dreams
You will hear the screams

| Cult of chaos |
|---|
Chaos is creation
A swirling mass of atoms and ideas
Natural selection the sculptor of all life
Survival of the fittest, all your tall tales are dead
We are legion, one will and one heartbeat
This is anarchy
We are a godless entity
[Lead - Christopher]
There are many ways to die
But only one way to live
Let the cult of chaos reign
Be as free as you can be
[Melody - Michael]
[Lead - Christopher]
Confusion, diffusion, your system in turmoil
Disillusion, revolution, the storm to cleanse this world
False prophets, propaganda
Speak in tongues and dead words
'Til the fangs of reality
Will sink into their throats
This is anarchy
We are a godless entity
There are many ways to die
But only one way to live
Let the cult of chaos reign
Be as free as you can be
[Melody - Michael]
There will be dead silence and then a new beginning
Let the cult of chaos reign
[Melody - Christopher]
[Lead - Christopher]
There are many ways to die
But only one way to live
Let the cult of chaos reign
Be as free as you can be
[2x]

| Thorns in my flesh |
|---|
[Intro lead - Michael]
Liar, liar
Conceal the truth
Silver tongue with a serpent smile
Bigot, betrayer
Master of deceit
With your own interest at heart
When it all came to light
Innocence was lost
How do you sleep at night
Lost trust, turned to dust
[Lead - Christopher]
All for one, one for all
Did not apply to you
An intricate web of lies
As the wheels kept on turning
[Melody - Michael]
No more thorns in my flesh
No more chains hold me down
I control my destiny
[Lead - Michael]
Liar, liar

| Vengeance is mine |
|---|
Infestation
Of spirit and flesh
Indignation
Is all you left me with
Domination
Your ultimate goal
Transmigration
You will lose control
[Lead - Christopher]
I will rise up and prove you wrong
I have been waiting in the shadows for too long
[Harmony - Michael & Christopher]
The gates are opening - My true self unleashed
[Lead - Michael / Christopher]
Laceration
Of my mind and soul
Alteration
Your truth is full of lies
Liberation
Sweet revenge is mine
Devastation
You will burn in my hell
[Lead - Christopher]
I will rise up and prove you wrong
I have been waiting in the shadows for too long

The gates are opening - My true self unleashed
Vengeance is mine!

The gates are opening - My true self unleashed

| Secrets |
|---|
[Intro melody - Michael]
I've got a secret - I just can't tell
I have created my own hell
If you knew what I know
It would change your perfect world
Locked the vault - Thrown away the key
My lips are forever sealed
Buried in a place you'll never see
This secret dies with me
Don't ask me - For I cannot tell
Words can kill - Sharp as a blade of steel
Skeletons of the past...
This burden, this pain
Were all these tears in vain?
Memories of the past return
This one is going with me to the grave
It is beating me up inside
To that I must confess
Secret weighing down my soul
Until I draw my very last breath
Don't ask me - For I cannot tell
Words can kill - Sharp as a blade of steel
Skeletons of the past...
Skeletons of the past...
[Lead - Michael]
Skeletons of the past...
Skeletons of the past...
[Lead - Christopher]
[Outro melody - Michael]

Discharge |
They stand on the outside looking in
They stand on the outside looking in
They stand on the outside and feed you shit
They stand on the outside and feed you shit
They keep you in the dark
Poison poison poison your mind
There is no truth in what they say
There is no truth in what they say
Propaganda and lies
Propaganda and lies

| Wings of tomorrow |
|---|
Europe |
You must be dreaming,
Or going out of your mind
There's no way of changing,
The world over one night
Maybe you need to recover,
From all the things you've been through
Maybe you need to discover
That it ain't much left to do
Ride, ride, ride the wings of tomorrow
Ride, ride, ride to change the world
You feel sorry for the nation of 1984
And it cuts you like a razor
'Cause you've seen it all before
You've seen one war after another
So many lifes on the line
You must take care of one another
Or it's the end of time

| The oath |
|---|
Kiss |
Like a blade of a sword I am forged in flame
Fiery hot
Tempered steel fire-bright to the night I take
I fear not
Now compelled by something I cannot see
I go forth surrendering to history
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it rides with me
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be
Through a dream
I have a come to an ancient door
Lost in the mist
I have been there a hundred times or more
Pounding my fists
Now inside, the fire of the ancient burns
A boy goes in and suddenly a man returns
I gave my word and gained a key
I gave my heart and set it free
There's no turning back from this odyssey
Because I feel so alive suddenly
And I wonder, is this really me?

Dream evil |
I sign, a contract witht the devil.
I tried, for so very long.
I die, to become immortal.
Thats why, I sing this song!
Am I a wannabe?
Have I no dignity?
who gave up all my life to be...
in the Book of Heavy Metal?
Aaaooh..!
in the Book of Heavy Metal!
Aaaooh..!
In life, I have no religion,
besides, the heavy metal Gods!
were nothing, but black skin-tight leather
my skin, is clad with metal studs!
Am I a wannabe?
Have I no dignity?
I give up all my life to be...
in the Book of Heavy Metal?
Aaaooh..!
in the Book of Heavy Metal!

"some twenty years ago,
the gods put down their feet.
So far in to the ground
that the man of sword 'nor ended.
Could never change your rules upon wich
the very fundament of metal was made!"
-solo-
Read all about it,
in the Book of Heavy Metal!
Read all about it,
in the Metalian!
Read all about it,
in the Book of Heavy Metal!
Read all about it,
just read it!
Don't need no flashy house,
no car or ugly wife.
The only thing I want,
is what my parents don't.
Need no wide screen TV
knowing no honesty,
the only thing I want to be...
"To be or not to be"
in the Book of Heavy Metal!
Aaaooh..!
In the Book of Heavy Metal!
Aaaooh..!
In the Book of Heavy Metal!
In life...
Aaaooh..!
In the Book of Heavy Metal!
to death...
Aaaooh..!
In the Book of Heavy Metal!
I sign,
a contract with the devil!
in the Book of Heavy Metal!
I like,
to become a star!
In the book of Heavy Metal!
I die,
to become immortal!
In the book of Heavy Metal!
Thats why,
I play the guitar!
In the book of Heavy Metal!
Aaaooh..!
In the book of Heavy Metal!

In the book of Heavy Metal!

In the book of Heavy Metal!
