from A Tribute To Judas Priest : Legends Of Metal Vol. I [tribute] (1996)
Pounding the world like a battering ram
Forging the furnace for the final grand slam Chopping away at the source soon the course will be done Leaving a trail of destruction that's second to none Hammering anvils straining muscle and might Shattering blows crashing browbeating fright Fast devastating and desolisating the curse Blasting the cannons of truth through each man of this earth Wielding the axe comes the one culmination That's always seemed certain to bring down the curtain on greed Sifting the good from the bad it's the age for the rage Of the dogs which must fall to the just and be free Now grate for the vandals who trampled and sampled Till this place conditioned brought forth demolition to war The slipping and sliding corrosive subsiding That withered and wained till the world seemed all drained fills the bay Pounding the world like a battering ram Forging the furnace for the final grand slam Chopping away at the source soon the course will be done Leaving a trail of destruction that's second to none Second to none |

Come on and fight!
Witches grow restless, the priests are impatient My legions scream, "The doors must be open! Our Master repels a message of hope On through the gates we march The sentinels await with their sabers in grasp A vast group, a locust attack! A vast group, a locust attack! Attacking with force as we show no remorse Obstructing our victims fate The blood in the chalice saluting the fight All virgins must die on this night Psychotic reaction from a serpents kiss Is taking the life from your soul And leading a train of destruction from Hell Finding our way through Hell's Hole! Curse of the Legions of Death! Curse of the Legions of Death! Curse of the Legions of Death! Curse of the Legions of Death! Provoke the Dead! Curse of the Legions of Death! Provoke the Dead! Curse of the Legions of Death! Curse of the Legions of Death! |

All that can escape me, all I realize
That it will come back to me the day my father dies His burning eyes would stare at you I was born a masochise I cried out in pain, as he clenches up his fist Slowly as the years go by, the darkness builds inside Trying to find a passage out, before I lose my mind Ingestuous temptation but what is wrong or right Why must I fall victim of hereditary spite Soon! we will arise, forming despise Conceptual intent Blessed in contempt! Thoughts have now come back to me It's time to perpetrate Take me to my sanity, before it gets too late Hear me as I call to you, right here down below Resurrect my will to live, come before i... go! Soon! we will arise, forming despise Conceptual intent Blessed in contempt! |

Take a look, what do you see
Image in the mirror Yesterday is yesterday You'll meet your marker I know that time grows old Can't stop the seasons Shifting sands slip through your hands Time is gone before it's begun... (CHORUS:) Die A little more A little more for every day Lord why Oh tell me why Do the seasons slowly grey? Days of blue just turn to grey The picture slowly aging Nothing left to the memory Death will not forsake them God fearing people say They are not afraid of dying So why do they turn to faith When faith has no meaning in life? Time worn, worn time Say goodbye to yesterday After life, life after It's all the same The golden years bring out the pain Death rolls in like the seasons change You've lost all hope but still you pray Aging eyes that fail to see The mirror has been shattered Death's knocking on their door A vision filled with laughter I know that time grows old Can't stop the seasons And as the end draws near The story's over before it's begun... (CHORUS:) |

I have been a prisioner
Trapped in by fear Ordered for the rest of my life Condemned in a jail cell Ain't seen life in years Escape is the only way out Restart my life Or self destruction To climb this wall of dark construction Holding the quest for freedom That beckons me My sanity is all but gone My patience is growing very weak I need to get a hold of my self I stare at the wall For the right time has come Escape must occur on this night Restart my life Or self destruction To climb this wall of dark construction Holding the quest for freedom That beckons me Stand in my way And I`ll run you straight through There no one to stop me now For I on the loose And I`m ready to start Torture and hell in this town Over The Wall!!! The search will not stop And hounds will not rest Till I am back in my cell For if I am caught, I`ll try it again Over the wall I`ll go, I`ll go!!! Restart my life Or self destruction To climb this wall of dark construction Holding the quest for freedom That beckons me |

I didn't mean to offend you But you were way out of line And I can't help the way I feel Who sad I feel fine ? I'll only give you one warning Then you must realize The day of judgement is closing in Your selfish ways bring your demise He who lies Evil pays Who are you ? Who made you anyway ? Wrong or right Who's to say I wanna know Who made you God today Slave to the ways of the system Soon to be crucified I've seen into your darkest fears The ones you cannot hide I know where you go when Your fears start showing You run You cannot hide Will they respect you when You ask of the world "Forgive me for so many lies" ? Is there a need to pretend To be a man, so divine And even if I offended you My truth you can't deny I know where you go when Your fears start showing You run You cannot hide Will they respect you when You ask of the world "Forgive me for so many lies" ? |

In days of old
When the books were untold Speak of a world crushed by sin. "The people will mourn of a war to be born" Nobody would listen to him. Think back in time When the future you find Is so faint that it's too hard to see. Don't disavow his word For the truth must be heard Cause the preacher tells visions he sees. In 1906 Like the future predicts The city will crumble to the bay Then what's in store When the worlds go to war? Peace will have come another day Then came the one In the year of '41 Warfare would light up the sky He beckoned the call Of the future for all Blinded by what's in his eyes In days of old When the books were untold Speak of a world crushed by sin. "The people will mourn of a war to be born" Nobody would listen to him. Think back in time When the future you find Is so faint that it's too hard to see.

A world of chaos A world of fear A world of anger and corruption When all is lost And millions starve Is this humanity's destruction? Life! A game that people play Cryout! Will they see another day? No one help us, The children pray Nobody listens to their crying This great depression When will it end? To live like this is worse than dying Life! A game that people play Cryout! Will they see another day? Your destiny is over Your fate has declined Refuse to discover What so many could find Death's endless toil As I long for rest Life's now forsaken Condemned to repress! [Guitar Solo] No sign of Heaven No sign of Hell Just the sign of pain and sorrow This generation inhabits all To form an order for tomorrow Life! A game that people play Cryout!

Where death has reared itself a throne We're all the good, the bad The worst and the best And where they land is their eternal rest Foul plays of passion At twilight's dim In joy of woe, of good and sin Winds of storm and fates overcast Darkly my presence Is now your past Join the insanity Or die as you fall Into the pit! The mass production And the killing of all Into the pit! The future screams for help Are fading away Into the pit! The world tomorrow Will it die for today? Into the pit! So in the sad, silent watches of night The lonely pathway envisions my sight Echoes of laughter And boundless cries Son here I wander under infinite skies Join the insanity Or die as you fall Into the pit!

Nothing to live for What started with a simple match Turned into something more The pain I felt inside my head Came on my day of birth Now the time has come for me To burn the planet earth [Chorus] I can feel the fire Burning inside of me The powers at my fingers Waiting you shall see Burn! Ignite the population Burn! Causing mass cremation Burn! Feel no shame or pity Burn! Apocalyptic city Years have passed as I stood still To plan the final blow I'll make the town go up in flames A hellish death they'll know As I pour on the gasoline I listen deep inside I hear the cries of all my victims Nowhere to run or hide [Chorus] Now my great assault is over And my life is done Staring at my great infernos Was my only fun So I leave you with my tale Here my conscious falls Victim of myself So now I'll end it all [Chorus] |

I have been a prisioner
Trapped in by fear Ordered for the rest of my life Condemned in a jail cell Ain't seen life in years Escape is the only way out Restart my life Or self destruction To climb this wall of dark construction Holding the quest for freedom That beckons me My sanity is all but gone My patience is growing very weak I need to get a hold of my self I stare at the wall For the right time has come Escape must occur on this night Restart my life Or self destruction To climb this wall of dark construction Holding the quest for freedom That beckons me Stand in my way And I`ll run you straight through There no one to stop me now For I on the loose And I`m ready to start Torture and hell in this town Over The Wall!!! The search will not stop And hounds will not rest Till I am back in my cell For if I am caught, I`ll try it again Over the wall I`ll go, I`ll go!!! Restart my life Or self destruction To climb this wall of dark construction Holding the quest for freedom That beckons me |

Takers of humanity, elders paranoid The time is now Give up this world you once destroyed Society versus the underground Their battles fought and lost the time has come to rule the world at any cost For the past it's too late 'Cause the world can't control fate Shadows cast loud and clear Tell the world the new order's here Cities turn to battlefields a deadly spell is cast corpses falling one by one until the last The preacher speaks of prophecy so many years before No one escapes their punishment the gods of war For the past it's too late 'Cause the world can't control fate Shadows cast loud and clear Tell the world the new order's here Death is like an empty space feel no thoughts of fear the future cries as mother nature sheds a tear The world becomes a prisoner a victim of its crime The human race is now a race against time FOR THE PAST IT'S TOO LATE 'CAUSE THE WORLD CAN'T CONTROL FATE SHADOWS CAST LOUD AND CLEAR TELL THE WORLD THE NEW ORDER'S HERE |

Hear the screams, screams of fright
Shrieks of terror through the night Souls of old band to hold The meeting for the haunting night Headless ghosts fill the halls Shadow plays of grief and pain Phantom speaks his final note Tenants of the castle slain Black cats will appear As the witching hour nears Lost souls will all be told For haunting we will go! See their dreams come to life Under pressure holding tight Feel the cold grabbing hold To feed you to the haunting night Evil witch black as pitch Starts a fire with a flinch Burning fire rising higher Making music like a choir Children of the night They큥e howling at black skies The ruthless calls within For the haunting now begins Stay away from the shining light Can큧 seem to find the answer there Bring back the terror in the night That we all share tonight Hear the screams, screams of fright Shrieks of terror through the night Souls of old band to hold The meeting for the haunting Headless ghosts fill the halls Shadow plays of grief and pain Phantom speaks his final note Tenants of the castle slain Black cats will appear As the witching hour nears Lost souls will all be told For haunting we will go! |

In days of old
When the books were untold Speak of a world crushed by sin. "The people will mourn of a war to be born" Nobody would listen to him. Think back in time When the future you find Is so faint that it's too hard to see. Don't disavow his word For the truth must be heard Cause the preacher tells visions he sees. In 1906 Like the future predicts The city will crumble to the bay Then what's in store When the worlds go to war? Peace will have come another day Then came the one In the year of '41 Warfare would light up the sky He beckoned the call Of the future for all Blinded by what's in his eyes In days of old When the books were untold Speak of a world crushed by sin. "The people will mourn of a war to be born" Nobody would listen to him. Think back in time When the future you find Is so faint that it's too hard to see. Don't disavow his word For the truth must be heard Cause the preacher tells visions he sees. Listen to these words I preach Catastrophic lessons they shall teach Listen to these words I preach Catastrophic lessons they shall teach |

Here we go The people show Victims of tomorrow The way it goes It never shows Emptiness or sorrow There is nothing left inside Nothing left to cry for So I justify my crimes Things that I must die for So alone Away it goes The life that you have wasted You never know Where it might go The sweet success you've tasted Tasted by a bitter frown Knowing I must die for Can't confide, to all the lies No one to inquire As I wander, change os seasons As I realize That I'll soon be there I'll let you know The reapers show Makes you beg or borrow He comes to see The tragedy His fate he will not follow Wearing your electric crown The preacher starts to pray Shiver as the lights go down Heed these words I say As I wander Change of seasons I can't ponder I got my reasons As I realize I don't care All I know is That I'll soon be there Now it's done The time has come The people stand in silence Another dawn Has come and gone His fate has been decided There is no one left inside A brain without a mind Traces of a bitter man Are all that you will find CHORUS |

The day's vanished in the night, soon the children pray
Pray themselves alone, te hate build from their pride You can't take away, can't take what they own! The eyes watching from the sky, guides them throug the haze Calling far away, the rain is black as black, black as night Oh let them pray! False sense of pride, satisfies There's no reason for suicide Use your mind, and hope to find Find the meaning of existence... The cry's answers wonder why, why it's time to die Time to die alone, cause I'm wasting too much time Wandering down the line reason why I go my own! False sense of pride, satisfies There's no reason for suicide Use your mind, and hope to find Find the meaning of existence... |

Can't you seeThat in the world we live in Political liesAre just corporate decisions
They'll take awayAll the hopes, not their promises They'll put an end to thisLand of the living Look at the lost souls They seem so black Look at the lost souls Souls of black They got controlOf the heart of a nation Their social tribes Seem so graciously As time goes by'Cause time as you came see Will slowly die for you and me Look at the lost souls They seem so black Look at the lost souls Souls of black So put an end To this idolizationAntagonizing so commonly Open your eyes'Cause the lie's there so plain to see Life goes onThere's no Guarantees Look at the lost souls They seem so black Look at the lost souls Souls of blackThey're bleeding so black |

Deep in the pit and lying alone
Where death has reared itself a throne We're all the good, the bad The worst and the best And where they land is their eternal rest Foul plays of passion At twilight's dim In joy of woe, of good and sin Winds of storm and fates overcast Darkly my presence Is now your past Join the insanity Or die as you fall Into the pit! The mass production And the killing of all Into the pit! The future screams for help Are fading away Into the pit! The world tomorrow Will it die for today? Into the pit! So in the sad, silent watches of night The lonely pathway envisions my sight Echoes of laughter And boundless cries Son here I wander under infinite skies Join the insanity Or die as you fall Into the pit! The mass production And the killing of all Into the pit! The future screams for help Are fading away Into the pit! The world tomorrow Will it die for today? Into the pit! |

Accuse you of a crime
Sentenced to endless time The price you have to pay Won't get away! Sworn in by the stand Your rights are gone The system's banned They think you are a liar A trial by FIRE! HEY! This is what the people say A new way A trial by fire! Locked in an empty cell Your life becomes a living hell The river of fire flows Time only knows! Trapped by flames of fury Ordered onto by the jury Death is their desire Thrown in the fire! Hey! This is what the people say A new way A trial by fire Quiver by the fiery light Cringing as your soul ignites The book of law's been thrown away starting today! The system before the war Is gone for now and ever more There is no sentence higher A TRIAL BY FIRE! Hey! This is what the people say A new way A trial by fire! DAMAGE |

Listen now to my sordid tale
My words they speak to you They testify You can't deny You see it's on so true I dwell in thoughts Of the universe What's immorality ? it's said to be The lies they breed The pages start to bleed How can this be ? Let go of my world Let it go ... Touch my soul With subliminal sin Deceptions they induce Ingest the lies Dissect the mind You can't control the youth Enslave the free With conformity Oppression takes its toll Hey little man Who are you To try to take control Of my soul ... Let go of my world Let me go ... Bleed me dry Read between the lies Filter out the truth Pick at my brain Brand me insane I know what I must do take my life into my own hands My sins I will atone It I don't cry I will reside Inside mental home Home sweet home ... Let go of my world Let it go ... |

We're gonna take you backThrough the pages of the pastJust another lonely boyI could laugh and playAnd live in any other wayThen the devil took my soulThe fortune and the fameI knew I was not the sameAnd I know I'd never returnLooking at the skyI knew I would never dieAnd forever shining throughWish the sky would sayThat blue would turn to greyAnd I know I'd be thereLike was like a fantasyTaken by realityDoes anyone remember meYou once knew meFlashes of the dayI knew I was here to stayBut no one stays the sameTurn the pages back in timeThrough the chapters in my mindLife's too short to leave behindIt's too lateLike was like a fantasyTaken by realityDoes anyone remember meYou once knew meFlashes of the dayI knew I was here to stayBut no oneKnows my name

Our ship sailed on through the
Violent burning sea Not knowing of the danger Waiting in store for me We wound up all in mayhem The vessel tossed and turned The compass that had led us We watched it slowly burn We'll never see our homeland We know it all right then That fate was on the second hand Of borrowed time again For that evil pathed our way The men were being thrown From left and right they feel The water was as hot as satan's Forge from hell The questions that arose like Where the hell are we I had a good idea we're in the Devils sea : the triangle ! See what's become of your Life left to live No hope from this land of trust Hells winds scream sacrilege Death from above The great white closes in The corpses afloat all shattered in rage No hope for our piece of mind Satans vessels come closer and closer He holds the seas fate in his hand [Chorus] "Violence terror" Raging waters Dying has scare us nowhere to go Darkness prevails no one to save us Every one man for himself The red gem of Hades is shining Too hot Satan's power becomes strong His armies have killed so many Before us A sacrifice must be done The door of the chosen Has opened for us what sanctuary Will we see See him panic crying in lust Screaming he'll get me [Chorus] Our ship sailed on through the Violent burning sea Not knowing of the danger Waiting in store for me We wound up all in mayhem The vessel tossed and turned The compass that had led us We watched it slowly burn We'll never see our homeland We know it all right then That fate was on the second hand Of borrowed time again For that evil pathed our way |

Banned by the light Worship and listen to me Condemned in his mind In his evil place Your fate is all that you'll see I am the one To show you the path Salvation is in the fields Listen up children and follow me Or I'll let you pay the price Of malachi! Disciples of the watch Obey! Or I'll burn you to that cross! Holding the mass The demon is cast To resurrect your soul Calling to him Is like an evil sin A prophet is what they're told Taking the land under command Killing friend or foe Feel the might of his evil wrath Desecrate your soul! Disciples of the watch Obey! Or I'll burn you to that cross! Cast to the fire Banned by the light Worship and listen to me Condemned in his mind In his evil place Your fate is all that you'll see I am the one To show you the path Salvation is in the fields Listen up children and follow me Or I'll let you pay the price Of malachi!
