Exciter
Running wild
Sinner
The ripper
The green Manalishi (with the two pronged crown)
Diamonds and rust
Victim of changes
Genocide
Tyrant
Exciter
Racing' cross the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing to the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand

Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for ExciterSalvation bids to ask

Everything he touches
Fries into a crisp,
Let him get close to you
So you're in his trip,
First you'll smoke and smoulder
Blister up and singe
When ignition hits you
the very soul of your being will cringe.

Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to your knees and repent if you please

Who is this man?
Where is he from?
Exciter comes
For everyone
You'll never see him
But you will taste the fire upon your tongue

He's come to make you snap out
Of the state that you are in
Looks around and make you
See the light again
So much self-indulgence
Results in shattered eyes
Predominant complacency
Leads to beguiling lies.

Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Salvation bids to ask

When he leaps amidst us
With combustive dance
All shall bear the branding
Of his thermal lance,
Cauterising masses
Melting into one
Only when there's order
Will his job be done.

Stand by for Exciter
Salvation is his task
Stand by for Exciter
Here he comes now
Fall to your knees and repent if you please

Who is this man?
Where is he from?
Exciter comes
For everyone
You'll never see him
But you will taste the fire upon your tongue

Racing past the heavens
Straight into the dawn
Looking like a comet
Slicing through the morn
Scorching the horizon
Blazing to the land
Now he's here amongst us
The age of fire's at hand

Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter
Stand by for Exciter

Running wild
I move as fast as I can. I like to get around.
I'm crazy like a madman. My feet don't touch the ground.
I move amongst the night life and they just step aside.
'Cause when they see me coming, they know I'm Running Wild!

Dead or alive, there's nothing that bothers me at all.
I take on all comers. They back off or they fall.
They raise their hands to stop me. I laugh and I defy.
'Cause what's the point in living unless you're living wild?!

No chains can hold me down. I always break away.
I never hear society tell me what to do or say.
I taste the life that pleases me
and raise a storm for all the world to see!

I never stumble; never fall; never stop for rest.
I rebel but, I walk tall and I demand respect.
I move amongst the nightlife and they just step aside.
'Cause when they see me coming, they know I'm Running Wild!

I'm Running Wild!
I'm Running Wild!
Get outta my way!
I'm Running Wild!
I'm Running Wild!
You better believe it!
Wild...

Sinner
Sinner rider, rides in with the storm
The devil rides beside him
The devil is his god, God help you mourn
Do you, do you hear it, do you hear the thunder
Deafen every living thing about
Can you, can you see it, can you
See the mountains darken yonder
Black sun rising, time is running out

Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!

His steed of fury,
Eyes of fire and mane ablaze
Demonic vultures stalking
Drawn by the smell of war and pain
He roams the starways
Searching for the carcasses of war
But if it's hungry then its very presence
Disrupts the calm into the storm

Curse and damn you all you'll fall by the hand of the
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!

God of the Devils, God of the Devils
Won't you help them pray
God of the Devils, God of the Devils
Is there no other way

Can't you hear their souls calling out in their plight
Can't you see their blood is boiling setting them alight

Thirty years now sleeping, so sound
War raises its head, and looks slowly around
The Sinner is near, sensing the fear
And the beast will start movin' around

Can't you see their souls calling out in their brain
Can't you hear their blood is boiling setting them alight

Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!
Sinner!

Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the
Curse and damn you all you fall by the hand of the
Sinner!

The ripper
You're in for surprise.
You're in for a shock.
On London town streets,
when there's darkness and fog.
When you least expect me
and you turn your back, I'll attack!!!

I smile when I'm sneaking through shadows by the wall.
I laugh when I'm creeping but, you won't hear me at all.

All heed my warning:
"Never turn your back on The Ripper".

You'll soon shake with fear never knowing if I'm near.
I'm sly and I'm shameless; nocturnal and nameless

Except for "The Ripper"
or, if you like, "Jack The Knife"

Instrumental (Glenn)

In the back-alley street, is where we'll prob'bly meet.
Underneath the gas lamp, where the air's cold and damp.
I'm a nasty surprise. I'm a devil in disguise.
I'm a footstep at night. I'm a scream-out with fright.

All heed my warning:
"Never turn your back on The Ripper... The Ripper....The Ripper

The green Manalishi (with the two pronged crown)

Peter Green's song

Now, when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks
and the night is so black that the darkness cooks,
and you come creeping around, making me do things I don't want to.

I can't believe that she needed my love so bad,
always sneaking around, trying to drive me mad.
Busting into all my dreams; making me see things I don't want to see.

'Cause you're the Green Manalishi (With The Two-Pronged Crown).
All my trying is up. All your bringing is down.
Just take my love and slip away, leave me here, tryin' to keep from
following you.

Woah...oah...oah...oah...oah...oah...oah!
Woah...oah...oah...oah...oah...aah...aah!
Woah...oah...oah...oah...oah...oah...oah!
Woah...oah...oah...oah...oah...aah...aah!
YEAH!!!

Diamonds and rust

Joan Baez's song

I'll be damned here comes your ghost again
but, that's not unusual.
It's just that the moon is full
and, you decided to call

And here I sit, hand on the telephone,
hearing the voice I'd known,
a couple of light years ago,
headed straight for a fall.

But, we both know what memories can bring.
They bring Diamonds And Rust.
Yes, we both know what memories can bring.
They bring Diamonds And Rust.

Now, I see you standing with brown leaves all around
and snow in your hair.
Now, we're staring out the window of the crummy hotel
over Washington Square.
Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles, and hangs in the air.
Speaking strictly for me, we both could've died, then and there.

Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic.
Then give me another word for it.
You were so good with words
and at keeping things vague.

'Cause I need some of that vagueness now.
It's all come back too clearly. Yes, I love you dearly
but, if you're offering me Diamonds And Rust, I've already paid.

Well, we both know what memories can bring.
They bring Diamonds And Rust.
Yes, we both know what memories can bring.
They bring Diamonds And Rust.

Diamonds... Diamonds And Rust!
Diamonds... Diamonds And Rust!
Diamonds... Diamonds And Rust!
Diamonds... Diamonds And Rust!

Victim of changes
Whiskey woman don't you know that you are drivin' me insane
The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my brain
Don't you know you're driving me insane
You're tryin' to find your way through life
You're tryin' to get some new direction
Another woman got her man
She won't find no new connection

Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through

Takes another look around, you're not goin' anywhere
You've realised you're gettin' old and no one seems to care
You're tryin' to find your way again
You're tryin' to find some new...
Another woman's got her man
But she won't find a new...

Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through

You 'bin foolin' with some hot guy
I want to know why is it why
Get up get out you know you really blew it
I've had enough, I've had enough, good God pluck me

Once she was wonderful
Once she was fine
Once she was beautiful
Once she was mine...she was mine

Now change has come over her body, she doesn't see me anymore
Now change has come over her body, she doesn't see me anymore

Changes, changes, changes, changes
Victim of changes

Genocide
Mercenary batalions
are poised to strike us down.
Terminations conquest
upon us, now, full grown.

Save me. My heart's open wide.
Help me. No question of pride.
Save me. My people have died.
Total Genocide.

Devastation hungers.
She waits to leap to earth.
Imminent liquidation,
before the grand rebirth.

Save me. My heart's open wide.
Help me. No question of pride.
Save me. My people have died.
Total Genocide.

Sin after sin, I have endured
Yet, the wounds I bear, are the wounds of love.

Frantic, mindless zombies
grab at fleeting time.
Lost in cold perplexion;
waiting for the sign.

Generations tremble;
clinging face-to-face.
Helpless situation,
to end the perfect race.

Flashing, senseless sabers
cut us to the ground.
Eager for the life blood,
of all who can be found.

Save me. My heart's open wide.
Help me. No question of pride.
Save me. My people have died.
Total Genocide.

Slice to the left. Slice to the right.
None to retaliate. None will fight.
Chopping at the hearts. Snuffing out the lives.
This race departs. No one will survive.

Heads to the feet. Feet to the air.
Souls in the soil, heavy in despair.
End of all ends. Body into dust.
To greet death, friends, extinction is a must.

Tyrant
Behold! 'Tis I. The commander
whose grip controls you all.
Resist me not. Surrender.
I'll no compassion call.

(Tyrant) Capture of humanity.
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all.
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor.
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall.

Your very lives are held within my fingers.
I snap them and you cower down in fear.
You spineless things who belly down to slither,
to the end of the world you follow to be near.

(Tyrant) Capture of humanity.
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all.
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor.
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall.

Mourn for us, oppressed in fear.
Chained and shackled, we are bound.
Freedom choked, in dread we live.
Since Tyrant was enthroned.

I listen not to sympathy
whilst ruler of this land.
Withdraw your feeble aches and moans
or, suffer smite from this, my hand.

(Tyrant) Capture of humanity.
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all.
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor.
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall.

Mourn for us, oppressed in fear.
Chained and shackled, we are bound.
Freedom choked, in dread we live.
Since Tyrant was enthroned.

My legions faithful unto death,
I'll summon to my court.
And, as you perish, each of you
shall scream as you are sought.

(Tyrant) Capture of humanity.
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all.
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor.
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall.
