The sound of gunfire echoes through the night
The killing and hatred is a terrible sight
Reports come in of a heavy attack
Message received, we're moving back

Preparations are made for the journey back
Hints for survival, supplies are packed
No more nights in this eternal hell
Destination is simple, we're moving out

Killing time - your life's on the line
Killing time – your time to kill
Killing time – what'd you say?
Killing time - yeah, killing time

The silence is over, they attack us again
The killing and hatred drive me insane
Reports come in of a savage attack
Message received, we're moving out

Ingenuity is needed to keep us alive
No time for cowardice, it's kill and survive
Like the killer kid with the switchblade knife
One nasty word, he'll take your life

Killing time - your life's on the line
Killing time – your time to kill
Killing time – what'd you say?
Killing time - yeah, killing time

The nation wakes in anger
They stand side by side
The idols that we worship
Have fallen or have died
The truth is now apparent
As a cry runs through the night
Too late to stop the bloody deed
For they have lost their fight
Lost their fight

Behind its walls a city sleeps
Unaware that they have been slain
Outside in the distance
The enemy plots for its gain
The traitor climbs a steep staircase
To a tower that stands on high
With lighted torch he signals
Betraying all those inside

The flood gates, they are open
By a secret code broken
Ten thousand black hooded soldiers
Enter like dragons breathing fire
Guns that show no mercy
Forged from the devil's own fire
For in this dark and evil night
There were many born to die

Genius Romanizations
Behind its walls a city sleeps
Unaware it's been slain
For in this dark and evil night
There were many born to die

The nation wakes in anger
They stand side by side
The idols that we worship
Have fallen or have died
The truth is now apparent
As a cry rings through the night
To late to stop the bloody deed
There were many born to die
There were many born to die
Born to die
Many, many born to die
				

Lunatics with automatic guns
Contaminated beef, muggers on the street
The Berlin Wall was the first thing to fall
Civil war in Bosnia, bye bye Yugoslavia

All around the world is falling down
Political solutions can't be found
What's going to happen to the communist party
Who really cares? Who wants to know

This is the real world yeah
Welcome to the real world

L.A. riots shocked a nation
Oil pollution, bloody revolutions
The Vietnam war was the first one we saw
Government corruption, nuclear destruction

Every day there's another disaster
New leaders and political masters
What's going to happen to you and me
We need to know, we want the truth

This is the real world yeah
This is the real world

Government corruption, nuclear destruction
The Soviets had a meltdown, can't live in that town
Political solutions, bloody revolutions
Welcome, welcome
Welcome to the real world

People may come and people may go
Don't hang around 'cause they don't wanna know
It's not the world that I want
It's not the world that I need
Tell me, tell me, why does it terrify me?

Every day there's another disaster
Banana republics with political masters
What does the future hold for you and me
What wants to know? Who really cares?

This is the real world yeah
Welcome to the real world
				

Dangerous ground is all that I found
I gotta tread so carefully
Big time talking makes no sound
You gotta act so cleverly

Welcome to the big time, how's it been?
Step inside, I'm gonna build you a dream

White light thunder, fire and rain
Days of thunder, can you take this strain

Seen it all let down long ago
Never knew where you're coming from
Or what you gonna do
Came across as Jesus Christ
Shook our hand, paid the price
We got crucified

Welcome to the big time, how's it been?
Step inside, I'm gonna build you a dream

White light thunder, fire and rain
Days of thunder, can't you take this strain
White light thunder, fire and rain
Days of thunder, coming round again

Welcome to the big time, how's it been?
Step inside my friend, I'm gonna build you a rock n roll dream

White light thunder, fire and rain
Days of thunder, can't you take this strain
White light thunder, fire and rain
Days of thunder, coming round again
				

The prophet said beware, the judgement draws near
The time has come to save your soul
The message it is clear
Kingdoms, mountains crumble to the ground
Forgotten cities once lost, now they are found

From the north four horsemen ride
On steeds of many colours
Conquest, power, judgement of all others
Come and see, see the sword, given on to me
The sword of fire, plague and famine
Death on to thee

Reach out with your hand
Touch me if you can
I'm running from the eye of the storm

From the sea the beast shall rise
His chains they are broken
Death to those who bear his mark
For they were not chose
Thunder, lightning strikes him to the ground
Satan lost in a lake of fie, never to be found

Reach out with your hand
Touch me if you can
I'm running from the eye of the storm

The prophet said beware, the judgement draws near
The time has come to save your soul
The message it is clear
Reach out with your hand
Touch me if you can
I'm running from the eye of the storm
Of the storm
I'm running, just got running, keep on running
I'm running from the eye of the storm
Of the storm
				

Hey you with your silly little views
Stand up and pay attention
Got a message for you coming through
Divine intervention
I'm a man on a mission sent down by god
Coming down to judge ya
Coming to lay down the law

I'm the face in the vision
I'm the sign on the wall
Can't ya, can't ya, can't ya hear me call

Stand up, come on
Everybody raise their hands
Time and time again
I'll help you understand
Stand up, get up, get out
I will lead the way
Time and time again I'll take you
To your judgement day

I'm a parody of wisdom, the clown of the ball
The mother of invention, the jackal in us all
I'm an incantation, I'm personified
The eternal idol, I'm immortalised

I'm symbolised, I'm personified
I'm immortalised

Stand up, come on
Everybody raise their hands
Time and time again
I'll help you understand
Stand up, get up, get out
I will lead the way
Time and time again I'll take you
To your judgement day

Stand up, come on
Everybody raise their hands
Time and time again
I'll help you understand
Stand up, get up, get out
I will lead the way
Time and time again I'll take you
To your judgement day
				

She was D.U.D. on a downtown spree
Looking for somewhere to spend it
She was hot to trod, she was ready to go
Zooming in on me, I could never say no

Higher, she's taking me higher
Looking for me, I was looking for you
You were coming on strong
You're not around too long

Higher, she's taking me higher
Something's got a hold on me
I can't stop, can't break free
'Cause I need someone to rescue me
Take it to the limit, build me up
You're taking me higher
She's taking me higher

Gonna light my fuse, ain't got nothing to loose
I'm gonna blow my top 'cause I like it like that
Too much too fast, too little too late
The more you get is the more you take

Higher, she's taking me higher
Something's got a hold on me
I can't stop, can't break free
'Cause I need someone to rescue me
Take it to the limit, build me up
You're taking me higher
She's taking me higher

Higher, just a little bit higher
I wanna go higher, a little bit higher
Something's got a hold on me
I can't stop, can't break free
'Cause I need someone to rescue me
Take it to the limit, build me up
You're taking me higher
She's taking me higher

Higher, she's taking me higher
Something's got a hold on me
I can't stop, can't break free
'Cause I need someone to rescue me
Take it to the limit, build me up
You're taking me higher, higher, higher
				

Kindness is a favour, you won't get none from me
Your eyes they lie, displease, despise in hell eternity
If silence is your answer then leave here while you can
My world is filled with such as you
The ace is in my hand

Never had no problems in getting love and fun
The power of need's the power of greed
Will cut through any one
Don't live your life on my time
'Cause my time's all for me
Your wisdom fights, my wrongs, my rights
I'll never set you free

Heartless labours fulfil my every need
I'm the winner, lover of none
Prospector of greed

Echo voices haunts me, still I seek my goal
To win where I am able to tear apart your soul
If by chance I lose it, the truth it will be known
The seeds of my fraternity
The seeds that I have sown

Heartless labours fulfil my every need
I'm the winner, lover of none
Prospector of greed
Prospector of greed

Kindness is a favour, you won't get none from me
Your eyes they lie, displease, despise in hell eternity
If silence is your answer then leave here while you can
My world is filled with such as you
The ace is in my hand

Heartless labours fulfil my every need
I'm the winner, lover of none
Prospector of greed
Heartless labours fulfil my every need
I'm the winner
Prospector of greed
Prospector of greed

I'm the prospector of greed
				

????????? In the middle
Sing a song going down
On the other side of town
Tonight

Hmm, tonight

????????? In the middle
I can't help believing
Everything's gonna be
All right

Now that you're leaving
All the tears in your eyes
Don't disguise
How you're feeling sad
Inside

Now that you're going
All the sands on the world
Say you won't be coming back
No more

I've heard it all before

Tell me why, why, why
Why do we cry
Why standing all now
In the cold

Overwelmed that you're in singing
In the streets the judge failed bring in
They're crying out
We want no more

???????? And mothers crying
In the city the innocent dying
Let's send it now
We want no more

So tell me why, why, why
Why do we cry
Who's to blame
Now let us know

So tell me why, why, why
Why do we die
We stand alone now
In the cold

[Guitar solo]

So tell me why, why, why
Why do we cry
Who's to blame
Now let us know
So tell me why, why, why
Why do we die
We stand alone now
In the cold

Give and take
And compromised
Wipe the tear
From a children's eyes
We've had enough
We want now more
				

There's a raid going on in the East side of the city
There's a raid going on, the boys ain't showing no pity
Down on the waterfront there's shooting and there's killing
Down on the city streets the blood it is spilling

The boys, they're running, stealing and burning
The innocent are lying, screaming and dying
There's nowhere to run, you can't get away
Another street fight happens every day

There's a raid going on down in the city
There's a raid going on

Darkness all around me, blinding my view
I don't know where I'm going, I'm dazed and confused
I've struggled for a long time to get back on my feet
Every single effort ending in defeat

It's hard but I'm trying, there ain't no way out of here
I'm in a maze full of door ways, only one will take me clear
Which one is the right one, they all seem the same
Which one is the right one to get me out of here

There's a raid going on down in the city
There's a raid going on, the boys ain't showing no pity
There's a raid going on, we're coming on through
There's a raid going on, we got a raid on you

There's a raid going on down in the city
There's a raid going on

Fighting on forever, I guess that's what I choose
Someday I'm gonna make it, I'll never think I'll lose
Don't know me down for trying, I guess that's all I got
There ain't no denying I'm never gonna stop

There's a raid going on down in the cuty
A raid going on, the boys ain't showing no pity
Darkness all around me, blinding my view
I don't know where I'm going, I'm dazed and confused
I've struggled for a long time to get back on my feet
Every single effort ending in defeat

There's a raid going on down in the city
There's a raid going on, the boys ain't showing no pity
There's a raid going on, we're coming on through
There's a raid going on, we got a raid on you, and you, and you, and you
				

There's trouble in the wind, it's coming my way
It's coming round fast, it's here to stay
If you're looking for adventure, looking out for me
I'm the one you want, I'm the one you need

Reach out, take my hand
Only you can help me, can't you understand
You know you gotta reach out as far as you can
Let me be your leader, let me be your man
You know you got to reach out, yeah yeah yeah
Reach out

Your memories start to fade like a broken dream
You're coming on fast like a hurricane
I can't stop now, going fast
I'm gonna make this place burn
It's guaranteed to blow your mind
It's going down, down, down, down

Reach out, take my hand
Only you can help me, can't you understand
You know you gotta reach out as far as you can
Let me be your leader, let me be your man
You know you got to reach out, yeah yeah yeah

Heading down town, got to get around

See the night life, kill some liquor
Get a woman for fantasy
The night's still young

Just let me tell ya, let me sell ya
This thing called alcohol
For some strange reason, for some strange people

It's a thing called alcohol

You know it sucks from me
