Get up... Get the hell on outta here Cut the ropes that bind you Stand up... straight into your fear Leave the past behind you
Your cautious ways...have spawned your nothing
Life...is just an empty stage Where do you go from here Living...puts the words upon the page Open to a new frontier
Your mundane life... is history You'll seize the day... it's mystery
[Chorus:] Cut the ripcord... don't look back Burn the bridges down Grab the handle... clench your fist Beat the bastards down
Fire... There's fire in your heart Flames of passion burn Higher... raging from the start And now there's no return
Go have your way... your fantasy Embrace the day... it's destiny
[Chorus:] Cut the ripcord...don't look back Burn the bridges down Grab the handle...clench your fist Beat the bastards down Cut the ripcord, no turning back Bum the bridges down Grab the handle... Crack the whip Beat the bastards down beat em' down
[Solo]
[Chorus:] Cut the ripcord... don't look back Burn the bridges down Grab the handle... clench your fist Beat the bastards down Cut the ripcord, no turning back Burn the bridges down Grab the handle... Crack the whip Beat the bastards down Beat em' down
You steal from the hungry... you take from the poor You swindle the rich man... and then you steal more Greed is your life-blood... and white collar crime Your hands don't get dirty... no, you steal with your mind
But the days of your reign... are all over now The fortress you built for yourself, has come crashing down
[Chorus:] There is no shelter... (no shelter) No limos, no yachts, no homes There is no shelter... (no shelter) Vultures pick at your bones
Welcome to main street... you forgot your champagne All of your off-shore accounts, have gone down the drain Your stocks are all worthless, your paper trail burns Your riches have turned into rags, the tables have turned
An eye for an eye... justice is served Vengeance is ever so sweet, when you get what you deserve No, no, no, no!!
[Chorus:] There is no shelter... (no shelter) No limo's, no yachts, no homes There is no shelter... (no shelter) Vultures pick at your bones There is no shelter... (no shelter) Only life in your cell There is no shelter... (no shelter)
No, you can't take it with you to hell
[Solo]
[Chorus:] No shelter... (no shelter) No limo's, no yachts, no homes There is no shelter... (no shelter) Vultures pick at your bones There is no shelter... (no shelter) Only life in your cell No shelter... (no shelter) No, you can't take it with you to hell
Everybody's on probation... Close to the end of the line Subject to cancellation... Livin' on borrowed time One day you've got it all... Then you're flat on your back So hurry up and get your ticket... Cos' the train's comin' down the track
[Pre-Chorus:] You can't run from the reaper You'll never hold back the tide Can't stop a raging river You know it's only a matter of time
[Chorus:] Yeah, there's a new world comin' Yeah, it's a brand new world
Gravity is like a free ride... Rollin' down a one way street Caught up in a giant landslide... Rockin' people off their feet One day you got it all... Then you're deep in a hole Got no time to pack your bags... The world ain't gonna wait for you
[Pre-Chorus:] You can't run from the reaper You'll never hold back the tide Can't stop a raging river You know its only a matter of time
[Chorus:] Yeah, there's a new world comin' It's a brand new world (Oh...) There's a new world comin' (Oh...) Yeah, it's a brand new... world
[Solo]
[Chorus:] (Oh...) There's a new world comin' (Oh...) Yeah, it's a brand new world (Oh...) There's a new world comin' (Oh...) Yeah, there's a new world... comin'
In the cool of the evening, when the fires start burning bright Hear the twilight callin', as the flames burst into the night It's creeping in your bloodstream... like a Metal disease
Underneath the streetlights, everything is larger than life Ya hear the roar, see it gleaming like the edge on a switch-blade knife A worldwide eruption... underneath your skin Worldwide corruption... slowly seeping in,
[Chorus:] It's a pandemic It's a metal disease... pandemic Brain cell abduction, creeping in like sin, it's a pandemic... 'A metal disease... pandemic Brain cell destruction, breeding metal from within... Whaaaa!!!!
Give into the venom, circulating underneath the skin Like mercury poison, liquid metal boils within Spreading like a wildfire, burning up the earth Caught in the crossfire, all around the world There's no way to stop it now...
[Chorus:] It's a pandemic It's a metal disease... pandemic Burnt in your hard drive, smokin' up the earth, like a Pandemic A pandemic... it's a metal disease
[Solo]
[Chorus:] Pandemic... wow, it's a metal disease Pandemic... caught in the barbed wire, it's underneath the skin It's a pandemic... it's a metal disease
Pandemic It's creeping in your bloodstream It's a pandemic!!!!!!!... it's a metal disease
A shadow in an empty doorway... Call your name but no reply I still see your face... but there's no trace Photographs... no good bye Seems like I must dreaming... but it's all here in black and white A hollow, lost and empty feeling They say all wounds are healed in time But I feel worn... and somehow unborn Every day's an uphill climb Hanging on just for tomorrow... but i find it hard to see the light I'm just looking for something... to Kill the Pain Tonight
[Solo] Yeah, we're all looking for something... to Kill the Pain Tonight C'mon, we're all looking for something... to Kill the Pain Tonight
Ever have a feeling... Comin' from behind You catch a fleeting glimpse from the corner of your eye Your worst nightmare's... 'round the bend You're falling off a cliff and there's no end
You feel like a number... a target on the wall You need a place to hide but you feel ten feet tall Full moon's risin'... I see it in your eyes Hiding within the shadows of the night
There's no escape... go ahead and run (We've got your number) You've been sold out... the price is right You're worth more dead than alive
[Chorus:] Locked and loaded... hot upon your trail Locked and loaded... licensed to kill
Runnin' through the jungle... 'cover of the night It'll do no good I got you in my sight Ya begging for mercy... I got nothin' to say Just run like hell cos ya know it's time to pay
There's no escape... go ahead and run (We've got your number) You've been sold out... the price is right You're worth more dead than alive
[Chorus:] Locked and loaded... hot upon your trail Locked and loaded... licensed to kill
[Solo]
[Chorus:] Locked and loaded... hot upon your trail Locked and loaded... licensed to kill (locked) locked and loaded (locked) locked and loaded (locked, locked and loaded) Licensed to kill
Way out in a haunted hollow A strange chill on a ghostly lake Dark shadows in a twilight haze A lost cabin in a tree lined maze
Nightly apparitions... lost destinations Victims calling from beyond the grave
[Chorus:] And now... Now they walk the night Searching for the light... One step beyond Beyond the shades of death (shades of death)
The darkest shades of death (shades of death) Beyond the shades
Tied... tied to the devil's chair... a sinister affair Terror's drawing near... out on the streets of fear
Eyes shine in the black of the night Somethings moving but it's out of sight Cryptic symbols in an Indian cave A hitchhiker take you to your grave A presence in the air... feelings of dispair Footsteps walking in the leaves behind you
[Chorus:] And now... Now they walk the night Searching for the light... one step beyond The darkest shades of death (shades of death) Beyond the shades of death (shades of death) The darkest shades
Cursed... there's a curse on the ground... Terror's drawing near A dark force all around... out on the streets of fear
[Solo]

[Chorus:] And now... and now they walk the night Searching for the light... one step beyond Beyond the darkest shades of death (shades of death) Beyond the shades of death (shades of death) Beyond the shades of death (shades of death) The darkest shades of death (shades of death) Beyond the darkest shades of death
For the right to be free, We pay the wages of war. For our dreams and ideals, all that we are fighting for. For honor and duty, Nations we will defend Securing our safety and peace We will fight till the end
As allies we stand, in far away lands Heeding the battle cry We pay the price, with great sacrifice The fuel of freedoms’ fire
Together we fight, BLOOD OF THE NATIONS We kill and we die, BLOOD OF THE NATIONS A noble cause… And the blood is on the hands
We leave behind our homes to ensure the way of life to avenge our brothers' murders and stand up for what is right For our countries and our future our legions carry on The War against the Terror that we did not bring upon
As allies we stand… in hostile lands So the masses can be free We pay the price with great sacrifice and that's the way it has to be Together we fight, BLOOD OF THE NATIONS we're brothers, hand in hand We kill and we die, BLOOD OF THE NATIONS Cause war is hell
We pay with our lives BLOOD OF THE NATIONS Cause freedom isn't free We bleed and we cry BLOOD OF THE NATIONS A soldier,lot and he will make our stand
Together we fight, BLOOD OF THE NATIONS We kill and we die, BLOOD OF THE NATIONS a noble cause
We pay with our lives BLOOD OF THE NATIONS Cause freedom isn't free We bleed and we cry BLOOD OF THE NATIONS A soldier's lot
BLOOD OF THE NATIONS We pay with our lives BLOOD OF THE NATIONS Cause war is hell
The future is predestined The writing's on the wall Can you see the telltale signs? The turning point has come Here it comes Suicide bombs exploding As missiles crack the sky Earthquakes and tsunamis Signal the end of time
In the here And the now Feel the fear It's all coming down
The world is turning, turning inside out The world is burning, it's burning on somehow But it's broken... it's burning Goin' up in flames!
Can we change the path we're on Somehow turn the tide Smother the all-consuming fire Before the world collides
With the here And the now Feel the fear All coming down
The world is turning, turning inside out The world is burning, it's burning on somehow The world is turning, turning inside out The world is burning, it's burning on somehow But it's broken... it's burning Goin' up in flames!
Do you remember bluer skies Happy days and simpler times Seems not that long ago But so far away Will it ever be the same again? I don't think so
'Cause it's here And it's now Feel the fear All coming down
The world is turning, turning inside out The world is burning, it's burning on somehow But it's broken... it's burning Goin' up in flames Up in flames
