1. Stampede

Crossed bars out the door
Stubborn run out through the town
Crawl cross beyond control
This body's gonna take you down
Move over till you walk
Black boulder will spit you out
Spend with me till the morn'
I'll tell you what it's all about
Wretched time!

Cross bar, over head
Keep 'em through the air
No time, no escape, caught through the stare
Still wear the parachute, drag you in the depth
I'll plant you in the soil
And serve you just pedets
So loud! It's the end of the line
You breed your kind
But you wasted your breath

(Stampede!)
Trapped into the ground
(Stampede!)
Flattened by the sound
(Stampede!)
Burn you on the stove
(Stampede!)
And pulverize your grounds!

You're gone and disappeared through the bloody swerve
Jab you, round you down to a moshpit straight from hell
Neck you out the throne, rearrange your face
And when you bottom out, it's a long way down from grace
So loud!
It's the end of the line
You breath your?
But don't waste your breath!
You'll never win!

(Stampede!)
Trapped into the ground
(Stampede!)
Flattened by the sound
(Stampede!)
Burn you on the stove
(Stampede!)
And pulverize your grounds!

2. Dying Breed

Once upon a midnight, the metal flag was raised
Long ago a sabbath black cut through the purple haze
Upon a silver mountain a message loud and clear
Screaming with a vengeance that we will forever hear

They're the pride of our ages
In their anthems we trust
Like denim and leather
And diamonds and rust

Here's to...the rocking warriors
Here's to...our heroes and friends
And those who've gone before us
We're loyal straight 'til the end

They're The Last of a Dying Breed
And we salute you
The Last of a Dying Breed

The zeppelin led it's voyage thru skies of purple deep
The guillotine come crashing down and heads rolled in the streets
And in a land down under highway to hell was paved
An iron fist cut the deck and drew the ace of spades

They're the pride of our ages
In their anthems we trust
It's metal to metal
And dust to dust

3. Dark Side Of My Heart

There's a space in the darkness, where a fire still burns
It's beyond a reason, past point of no return
There's a hunger that's calling, and the fever runs wild
It's where the light throws shadows on the thoughts of every child

Deep within this hallowed chamber where two worlds collide
If you open up the door, don't cross the line

You know it's tearing me apart, this is the dark side of my heart
And I knew it from the start, there in the dark side of my heart

Just a slave to the shadows, just a pawn in the game
Drawn to the slaughter like a moth before a flame
It's the good and the evil, walking side by side
You can feel it coming, but there is no place to hide

Tell me all your darkest secrets and I'll tell you mine
Open up the door but don't cross the line

You know it's tearing me apart, this is the dark side of me heart
And I knew it from the start, here in the dark side of my heart

There's an ager on my shoulder, but the devils whisper in my ear
It's the battle old as time itself
A taunt that never disappears

Tell me all your darkest secrets and I'll tell you mine
Open up the door but don't cross the line

You know it's tearing me apart, this is the dark side of my heart
And I knew it from the start, there in the dark side of my heart

4. Fall Of The Empire

Can you remember how it used to be
We were so proud and free, so free
Strong and mighty powerful and true
Can you remember

Now all around us pestilence and greed
Famine, hate and war
It surrounds us like a black disease
Just take a look around us

In spite of every upright intention
We live and die by the sword
It's second nature, and so the question is
Can we learn or will we burn

The fall of the empire... What have we done
The fall of the empire... It's the dawn of the setting sun
The fall of the empire... can this race be won
It's the fall of the empire... or has the end begun

Will the mountains crumble to the ground
Will the earth stand still
Will we rise a mushroom cloud
Will the mountains crumble

Can we heed a lesson from the past
And put aside our hate
Or will we blow ourselves to kingdom come
tell me is it too late

Inside of every aronination
There is hope that lies within
It's second nature, and the question is
Can we learn or will we burn

The fall of the empire... What have we done
The fall of the empire... It's the dawn of the setting sun
The fall of the empire... can this race be won
It's the fall of the empire... or has the end begun

5. Trail Of Tears

Liars and murderers, pale faced intruders
Came one day to our shores
Years of deceit and injustice and greed
Led to the crimes and the wars
Hopelessly wronged, dragged from our homes
Placed into stockades
Loaded on wagons as cattle or sheep
Silently filled with this rage

And all through the nights, we sang and we cried
holding on dearly
What gives you the right to do this
Who are the savages now!

It's a trail of tears, keep home fires burning
We're on a trail of tears, to were dreams go to die

Suffering and dying, enduring the cold
Oppression without regret
Wantonly stealing our land and our gold
The Cherokee will not forget

And all through the nights, we sang and we cried
holding on dearly
Four thousand graves along the way
Who are the savages now!

It's a trail of tears, keep home fires burning
We're on a trail of tears, to were dreams go to die
It's a trail of tears, for our homes we are yearning
We're on a trail of tears, to were dreams go to die

6. Wanna Be Free

Young girl in a darkened room, crying all alone
Forced upon by her captors, so far from her home
While in another country, a rich man counts his take
He cares not for the lifes he ruins
Why can't we make a world where there's

No more... Human trafficking
No more... Hunger and lies
No more... Crime and poverty

If we would heed the cries and unbind the ties
We all wanna be free
Break the barricades, open prison gates
We all wanna be free
Tear down the wall, we want it all
We all wanna be free
If we all stand together... We're all gonna be free

In the scums of LA, a man with a habbit dies
Needle still hanging in his arms
Nobody cares of cries
And in a foreign country, a rich man counts his take
No remorse for the life he ruins
Why can't we make a world where there's

No more... Gangs murdering
No more... Pushers and lies
No more... Crime and poverty

If we could heed the cries and rebind the ties
We all wanna be free
Break the barricades, open prison gates
We all wanna be free
Tear down the wall, we want it all
We all wanna be free
If we all stand together... We're all gonna be free

7. 200 Years

Lights out forever, After the final war
Cities reduced to rubble as plant lipe settles the score
Bridges and tunnels collapsing, Towers no longer stand
A post traumatic eden where roaches rule the land

No more civilization, Only shadows remain
No more death or pollution... Population zero

Welcome to the stone age, 200 Years after mankind
Welcome to the silent scream, The Earth has been reclaimed
Welcome to the stone age, 200 Years after mankind
A paradise for no one, And no one left to blame

Gone are the seven wonders, Pyramids only survive
Paradise has been erased, Earth again will thrive
Continental glaciers scrape the planet clean
Removing any remnants of society

No more traffic and madness, No more nuclear power
No more new technology... Population zero

Welcome to the stone age, 200 Years after mankind
Welcome to the silent scream, The Earth has been reclaimed
Welcome to the wasteland, 200 Years after mankind
A paradise for no one, And no one left to blame

8. Bloodbath Mastermind

Lurking in darkness where no one may go
Hatred breeds in your mind
Consciously heartless, blood running cold
Your evils begun to unwind

Lost in confusion your plotting unfolds
Madness starts to take shade
Explosions and shootings, out of control
The innocent run to escape

When all that we care for has gone up in smoke
A burnt out horizon remains
The last things heard were the curses you spoke
And the shots that took you away

You're the antimatter, bloodbath mastermind
Human antimatter, bloodbath mastermind

No one can say why you've taken this path
Murder has become your creed
Or how you became this psychopath
Spawn of the seed

The depth of your sickness could not be contained
It's now just a story we'll tell
All we can hope for is that justice be paid
And you serve your sentence in Hell

You're the antimatter, bloodbath mastermind
Human antimatter, bloodbath mastermind

We seek retribution for the crimes
But you have taken that away
You chose a cowards suicide
Could be we're better off this way You're the antimatter

9. From The Ashes We Rise

There's a storm out on the horizon
Blackin' out the day
Hell and high water
Come to take my world away

I can hear the wind blow
I can hear the screams and cries
Slamming doors, running for cover
Praying this rage goes by
Now everything we've worked for
It's gone in a moments glance
I need something to believe
I need a second change

With injured souls and wounded hands
We'll carry on, we'll struggle, we'll rebuild the land

We've been knocked down... we'll get up
From the ashes we rise
We've been kicked around... sure enough
We will survive
We've been shot down... we'll get up
From the ashes we rise
Life is so hard... so just get tough
We will survive

I can see the ruins
Of life that used to be
Everything has been shot to Hell
In this harsh reality
Devastation all around us
Blood is all I see
But with strength, believe and our fellow men
We'll meet our destiny

With injured souls...

10. The Curse

Why are the world's biggest sinners
Always saints when they're gone?
It's all about losers and winners
Not about who's right and who is wrong

Who's the thief, who's the traitor?
Who's the one to save the day?
And who will be in the spotlight
While the good ones fade away

Yes I realize it's just a fact of life
Nothing's ever really free
And if I have to I will gladly pay the price
We can't escape our destiny

It's the curse of being good
The curse of doing right
It's the curse of being good
The curse of doing right
The price we pay for our honour

No more Mr Nice Guy
No more Mr Right
Should I be like all the others?
Should I give up the good fight?

This never-ending struggle
Has been part of me so long
Is it a curse is it a blessing?
We know who's right, who is wrong

I'm not complaining this is how I lived my life
I('ll) keep my pride my dignity
And if I have to I will gladly pay the price
You can't cheat your destiny

It's the curse of being good
The curse of doing right
It's the curse of being good
The curse of doing right
The price we pay for our honour

Yes I realize it's just a fact of life
Nothing's ever really free
And if I have to I will gladly pay the price
You can't cheat your destiny

It's the curse of being good
The curse of doing right
It's the curse of being good
The curse of doing right
The price we pay for our honour

It's the curse of being good
The curse of doing right

11. Final Journey

A feeling, a presence,
Time is of the essence,
A fear that you'll be left alone.
A warning, a presage,
Delivery of a message,
It's all there in the unknown.

Alerting, averting
It's all disconcerting,
Shots ring out from afar.
Swerving, observing,
The sound is a piercing screech
Of a speeding car.

It's your final journey!
Destination unknown...
On your final journey
You'll be travelling alone!

A pitching and rolling,
Sensation controlling,
You strike while the iron's aglow.
Sensing the danger,
One look from a stranger
Just passing somehow you know.

Urgent, urgent,
Somehow it's all converging,
Your instincts tell you to run
Away from the blackness,
The fear and the madness,
Onwards into the sun.
