(Narration)
In the mouth of evil I am the tongue that bleeds
in the jaws of death I hold the gun of greed
now fall in line

They say I'm twisted and my mind is on the run
I am a sacrificial number
I see their faces when I close my burning eyes
I feel their voices getting louder
Marching on we're hypnotized
and when the day turns into night

I am dehumanized you point and I collect
Metal-head puppets are leading
another charge of madness walking into certain death
Flashes in the clouds I heard them screaming
No
screaming no

Fall, fall in line
Give up your own pride
all for something greater than you and I
Fall in line
Time after time I pray for certain death to grace me
with her light

Wait, don't neglect
your own promise to serve and protect
Move out, forget
in the name of a nation, forgive me

Fall in line

Marching on we're hypnotized
and when the day begins to die

Fall, fall in line
give up your own pride
all for something greater than you and I
Fall in line
Time after time I pray for certain death to grace me
with her light

On and on and on we fall in line
But why?
We're falling in line
				

Beyond the illusion
the fantasy of fools where
the old ones sail away
on the shadows of the new
scream and shout
but know that before
too late you'll hear the cry of the damned

Oh, we rise and fall together in a perfect harmony
the search goes on forever we're lost in chains
Hear the cries

Deny the confusion
throw away the key
Don't hide inside the cobwebs you call home
You bleed, you cut, you'll see
now it's too late to fear the cry of the damned

Oh, we rise and fall together in a perfect harmony
the search goes on forever we're lost in chains
hear the cries

Hear them crying
cry, cry, cry it out

Oh, we rise and fall together
in a perfect harmony
the search goes on
forever we're lost in chains
Do you know of the shadows over heaven and the magic under hell
We rise and fall
together we're lost
Hear the cries
cutting through the night
There was no warning
Have they lost their eyes
Cry of the damned
Beyond the illusion
the fantasy of fools where
the old ones sail away
on the shadows of the new
scream and shout
but know that before
too late you’ll hear the cry of the damned

Oh, we rise and fall together in a perfect harmony
the search goes on forever we’re lost in chains
Hear the cries

Deny the confusion
throw away the key
Don’t hide inside the cobwebs you call home
You bleed, you cut, you’ll see
now it’s too late to fear the cry of the damned

Oh, we rise and fall together in a perfect harmony
the search goes on forever we’re lost in chains
hear the cries

Hear them crying
cry, cry, cry it out

Oh, we rise and fall together
in a perfect harmony
the search goes on
forever we’re lost in chains
Do you know of the shadows over heaven and the magic under hell
We rise and fall
together we’re lost
Hear the cries
cutting through the night
There was no warning
Have they lost their eyes
Cry of the damned
				

She loves the rain
falling on her golden hair
She'd kiss the pain
to greet him with a smile
She starts her day
walking in his shadow
but she loves him anyway
Will she ever say goodbye

She cries
lonely is the night
she cries
She falls to watch him rise
she cries

Another bottle
smashes to the ground
Quickly down she follows
thinking of a time
when she was gleaming
the world was at her door
then "come to me" he calls to her
like so many times before

She cries
lonely is the night
she cries
as she falls to watch him rise

Words can never tell
the secrets of the heart
Living for his pleasure
she always plays the part
A man of many faces
a man of many rules
seven years of deprivation
well now his end is coming soon

Waiting by the table
By midnight he was home
Grabbed her by the waist
then he felt the gun below
He shook his head in laughter
he said "do it if you dare"
One moment passed in silence
then the sound of vengeance
filled the air

She'll cry no longer
She'll never fall again

oh, yeah

A thousand miles away
looking out the window now
she'll kiss the ball and chain
but she's free forevermore
She loves the rain
falling on her golden hair
She's breaking out of heaven
and the storms of yesterday
will fade away
				

Two years blinded by nightmares
locked inside an iron cage
Bars of steel chains around her ankles
knowing well she'll never be the same
bringing her back will raise hell onto heaven my friend
the night of his fate she was branded
for all eternity

Time held still, bells began to chime
don't cry, don't cry
When the flame burns out life can start again
at the gates of
the gates of twilight
oh well

Calling out at night you long for the gates of twilight
a city of Eden where chains can be broken at first sight, yeah

To cleanse your mind
forget your past life, you must die
To crack the stone and break the code
let it go, let it go
Realize, see the lies, no more hunger
see the dust not the sand
You're the rise and the fall of a future white

There a flower dies
take me there she cries
bells began to chime
When the time is right to close your eyes a flower dies
just like you and I
when the time is right
take me there we all fall down sometime
Time held still bells began to chime
Don't cry, don't cry
The flame burned out life had come again
at the gates of
the gates of, of, of
at the gates
they're at the gates
the gates of twilight
				

Touches touch her body against mine
Hush now hush she's squeezing me tight
Her breath on my neck as she whispers there's a place we ought to go
A place down the edge of the town if you're ready to roll

She's got me wired ohh I'm hot for her touch
Yeah baby
Then she leads me with delight
Like a mistress of the night
Woman in black a bad scene
Take what you will from me

She likes it loud, hard
Movin' to the rhythm
I can't get quite enough she cries to me in pleasure
Woah whoa yeah
She's got it oh she's got it
Rhythm of Desire

Pause for a moment she's kissing a cigarette
Sitting by the window I will never forget
When she looked me in the eyes and she told me
We can do it again

The first time that I set my eyes on you
You were the only target to a love I never knew
Take me won't ya shake me baby
Time and time over time again
Do me do me don't let it end
Yeah
Satisfaction
That's all she ever gives to me
Love reaction
Fever it's burning me inside
I need you baby
She's driving me
Driving me wild
				

Black skies echoing thunder
Casting shadows in the dead of the night
Ruler of the seven seas
Queen of illusion there's a storm that's rising

The lightning strikes the stormchild
Rolls on through the night and day
Deep in the eye of the twister
Stormchild is coming your way

Tick-tock she moves like a hunter
Riding with the wind
Fools you to believe she ain't nothing but a child
She's the tempest in the night

The lightning strikes the Stormchild
Rolls on through the night and day
Deep in the eye of the twister
Stormchild is coming your way

Coming to get ya

So if you mess with the stormchild there's nothing to do
Better run for your life when she's coming for you
Echoing thunder casting shadows again
Queen of illusion there's a storm that's rising

The lightning strikes the stormchild
Rolls on through the night and day
Deep in the eye of the twister
Stormchild is coming

The lightning strikes the Stormchild
Rolls on through the break of day
Deep in the eye of the twister
Stormchild is coming
				

Nightfall she's watching me
with shining eyes in the dark
Nightmare entangle me
like a stone to the spark

Whoa, she is magic and I'm under her spell
don't believe a word

She's a liar in love
Yeah she treats me like a fool
she's a liar in love

Chained down with affection
she shot me straight through the heart
Sorrow is a woman
and I knew from the start

Whoa, she's the magic I sense in the air
but don't believe a word

She's a liar in love
Yeah she's got me on my knees
she's a liar, a liar in love

Don't believe a word
She's a liar in love
Yeah she plays me like a fool
She's a liar
A liar in love yes
Well she's got me on my knees I'm begging darling please for love
Woman, woman, oh.. Woman
				

Stand and deliver, electrifying steel
Riding wings of metal seeking fire from within
They shoot to thrill

You're in for a wild night
You're in for a chase
Revving up the engine fueled with fire from within
They shoot to thrill
To thrill
They shoot to thrill

Deadly strikes
It's got you locked in sight, assassination
Shoot you down
Shoot to thrill
The terminator shoot to thrill
To thrill
Shoot to thrill
Dive!

Extermination, annihilation
Ordinary citizen condemned to die in confrontation
Termination, massacre
Without a warning, shoot you down
Ohh no
Shoot you down

Shoot to thrill
Shoot, shoot
Shoot to kill
To thrill, to thrill, to thrill, to kill
Wings of steel, In for the kill
Shoot to thrill
Shoot to thrill!
