FIRST FOUR ALBUMS, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE TO SAY THIS.
Stained Class
Wild-eyed and tight fisted, I'm fused to the bone
I stand contemplating, reacting alone
Impaled with betrayal
The tourniquet turns
Society's creation
Pole-axed out and burnt
Long ago when man was king, his heart was clean now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing, so now he's just a stained class king
Transfixed at deliverance, is this all there is
Faithless continuum, into the abyss
Fierce is my conviction, absolute my belief
I spit at you apathy, and seducer deceit
Long ago when man was king, his heart was clean now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing, so now he's just a stained class king
Lethal, deadly, hung, drawn and quartered
He slaughtered and faltered and altered the world
But by doing so smashed all his hopes and utopian dreams
Whipping, stripping, peeling the flesh off, relentless and senseless
His lust snapped like vipers whose fangs sank in deep
To infest and decay from the core
Impaled with betrayal, the tourniquet turns
Society's creation, pole-axed out and burnt
Long ago when man was king, his heart was clean now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing, so now he's just a stained class king
Stained class king
Saints in Hell
They laughed at their gods
And fought them in vain
So he turned his back on them
And left them in pain
Now here come the saints
With their banners held high
Each one of them martyrs
Quite willing to die
Wake the dead, the saints are in Hell
Wake the dead, they've come for the bell
Cover your fists
Razor your spears
It's been our possession
For 8,000 years
Fetch the scream eagles
Unleash the wild cats
Set loose the king cobras
And blood sucking bats
Wake the dead, the saints are in hell
Wake the dead, they've come for the bell
We are saints
In hell
We are saints
In hell
We're going down
Into the fire
We're going down
Into the fire
The streets run with blood from the mass mutilation
As carnage took toll for the bell
Abattoir, abattoir, mon dieu quelle horreur
For a time is was like second hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
The battle is over, the saints are alive
How can we all thank you, we felt so despised
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Saints in Hell
Beyond the Realms of Death
He had enough
He couldn't take anymore
He'd found a place
In his mind and slammed the door
No matter how they tried
They couldn't understand
They washed and dressed him
Fed him by hand
Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you
Withdrawn he'd sit there
Stare blank into space
No sign of life
Would flicker on his face
Until one day he smiled
It seemed as though with pride
The wind kissed him
Goodbye - and then he died
Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you
Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for livin' in
Yeah! I will start again
It can take forever, and ever, and ever
And ever, but I'll still win
How many like him
Are there still
But to us, all
Seem to have lost the will
They lie in thousands
Plagued and lost
Is nothing worth this bitter cost
Yeah! I've left the world behind
I'm safe here in my mind
Free to speak with my own kind
This is my life, this is my life
I'll decide not you
Keep the world with all its sin
It's not fit for livin' in
Beyond the realms of death
Sinner
Sinner rider, rides on 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 it's 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 brain
Can't you see their blood is boiling setting them alight
Thirty years now sleeping
So sound
War raises it's head
And looks slowly around
The Sinner is near, sensing the fear
And the beast will stop moving
Around
Can't you see their souls calling out in their brain
Can't you see 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'll fall by the hand of the
Sinner!
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 onto 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
Genocide
Mercenary battalions
Are poised to strike us down
Terminations conquest
Upon us now fullgrown
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 bare 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 to the soil, heavy in despair
End of all ends, body into dust
To greet death friends, extinction is a must
Dreamer Deceiver
Standing by my window
Breathing summer breeze
Saw a figure floating
'Neath the willow trees
Asked us if we were happy
We said we didn't know
Took us by the hands and up we go
We followed the dreamer through the purple hazy clouds
He could control our sense of time
We thought we were lost but no matter how we tried
Everyone was in piece of mind
We felt the sensations drift inside our frames
Finding complete contentment there
And all the tensions that hurt us in the past
Just seemed to vanish in thin air
He said in the cosmos is a single sonic sound
That is vibrating constantly
And if we could grip and hold on to the note
We would see our minds were free
Oh they're free
We are lost above
Floating way up high
If you think you can find a way
You can surely try
Winter
Got no silver in my pockets
Got no pillow for my head
And the winter it gets stronger
Got to ease my aching head
In the morning when I wake up
Get this feeling deep inside
And I wonder if I'll die young
Or I'll go out of my mind
Winter Retreat
Now winter wind fades from my face
My heart will no longer race
Sun smiling down from the sky
Melts away ice from my eye
Warmth eases back to my soul
Bitterness shrugs then it goes
Run of the Mill
What have you achieved
Now you're old
Did you fulfill ambition
Do as you were told
Or are you still doing
The same this year
Should I give sorrow
Or turn 'round and sneer
I know that the prospects
Weren't all that good
But they improved
And I'd have thought that you could
Have strived for that something
We all have deep inside
Not let it vanish
Along with your pride
Now with the aid of your new walking stick
You hobble along through society thick
And look mesmerized by the face of it all
You keep to the gutter in case you fall
I can't go on
I can't go on
I can't go on
I can't go on
I, I, I, I, I
