1. Cover Up

something's going on, we need some answers know.
why do they fill us full of lies?
they're hiding something but soon we'll all know.
the answer waits in the skies.
they laugh at us, behind our backs, but soon their courage turns to fear.
they should have shared the secrets that they knew, now the end is drawing near.

it's too late to let the people know
it's too late to let your fears go
there's a cover up – in high places
cover up! hide your faces.

should have been ready for the attack, we could have beat them in the end.
sticking together, we could have overcome, see where your foolishness has led.
now they arrive, start to attack. invaders falling from the sky.
it's too late to stop the assault. the planet falls with a sigh.

it's too late to let the people know
it's too late to let your fears go
there's a cover up – in high places
cover up! hide your faces.

you stand in horror as the cities fall.
you never thought it come to this.
now it is over, you dug your own grave.
a planet crossed off the list.
we should have shared all that we owned.
we could have lived with them as one.
but for your pride, jealousy and hate, now the end of man has come

2. Turn Back

come with me and you will see the secrets of the past.
find the key and you will be the one to make it last.
do not fear, wipe that tear, you can end the hate.
come on know, i know how, i hope it's not to late.

twisting time until it turns backward through the years.
you might never understand, don't give into your fears.
changing things that never were, the future is at stake.
will you pass the final run or will you be too late

turn back – a century of war
go back – time to close the door
turn back – a century of hate
go back – no time to hesitate

traveling down an endless void as the years go by.
see the dead and dying, a tear falls from your eye.
you do not hesitate, you know what must be done.
a planet lies in chaos but evil's not yet won.

wondering if you did succeed, had you changed our fate?
turning to a stranger you pray it's no too late.
you ask her just one question, your heart is full of dread.
but she just turns in wonder – "what is war?" – is all she says

3. Victory In Disguise

them:
we have you here before is.
now tell us what you see.
the people don't support you, in you they don't believe.

him:
they always fear the unknown – the things they can't see.
you had to have a scapegoat, the one you chose was me.

victory in disguise – the fire never dies

them:
you struggle for these people, why do you even try?
what is the sense in freedom when you yourself will die?

him:
if i can free just one life, my work is justified.
it will go on forever, your power i defy.

victory in disguise – the fire never die

bridge:
the smell of death is in the air.
why does the man – who they hate – cause them fear?
is it because they know they're wrong and in the end he will have victory?

them:
why do you fight for freedom when no one gives a damn?
your little game is over, your death is now at hand

him:
i stand here chained and broken so you can be set free.
the future is the answer – my death will be the key.

4. Live To Die

deep inside the darkness lies the meaning of your soul.
drink deeply from the knowledge so you will always know.
the breath of life is just a sigh that whispers through the years.
blossoms in the sunlight – dies within your fears.

you see him in the twilight.
he turns and stare at you.
eyes full of hatred, burns you through and through.
memories are awakened of times and place past.
remembering the last time, you thought it was your last.

you and i – why do we live to die
locked in this game of hate
what shall we do to change our fate

through the ages you have battled.
many times, many worlds.
many empires have come and gone, many flags unfurled.
though you won the last fight, many more have yet to come.
locked in eternal combat 'tii we learn to live as one.

who'll make the final move – which one will start.
eyes open but they can't see.
you play your part.
hurry now, do not wait, it's time for you to choose your fate.

5. Kiss Of Death

you were faithful to the family.
they gave you everything you could ever need.
the don treated you just like a son.
how was he to know that you would be the one.
was it the feds – did they have a line on you?
or was it cash that turned your head?
it doesn't matter, 'cause when we are through,
you'll be glad that you are dead.

kiss of death – for your dishonor
kiss of death – now you must pay
kiss of death – make peace with your maker now

did you think that you would not be caught
or did you think that allegiance could be bought?
it doesn't matter, in the end it's all the same.
you made the final move in a deadly game.
just like judas you betrayed the one you loved.
on his power you did feed.
but unlike judas the tables have been turned,
prepare yourself to receive the –

kiss of death – for your dishonor
kiss of death – now you must pay
kiss of death – make peace with your maker now

i don't know why i did as i had done.
i feel as though ironic victory is won.
and through this irony justice will be served.
'cause i know in the end we get what we deserve.

this is a lesson for those that will hear.
just try and cross us, then you'll know fear.
when you least expect it, is when we make our call.
there's no escaping the hammer when it falls.
we have the power to bring you to your knees or make you dreams come true.
both the options are laid at your feet.
now the choice is up to you.

6. Cold-Blooded Killer

people live for the sunrise.
i for the rise of the moon.
they walk about in the sunlight,
like the dead i wait in my tomb.
i awake and meet the darkness.
feel the hunger in my veins.
no way to stop these feelings.
now it's more than just a game.

it never ends – it's all the same
i need to feed to end my pain.
i'm enslaved to my needs.
i'm nothing more than a cold-blooded killer – that's what i am.
cold-blooded killer – destroyer of man.

so many wasted years gone.
kill to live and live to kill.
no end to all the slaughter.
long ago i lost the thrill.
i have taken the lives of millions, the innocent and the brave.
with your blood i live on, but in the end, i will pay.

it never ends – it's all the same.
i need to feed to end my pain.
i'm enslaved to my needs.
i'm nothing more than a cold-blooded killer – that's what i am.
cold-blooded killer – destroyer of man.

7. Blind Rage

thrashing away in the darkness, the innocence of youth does provide.
fighting for honor and glory, for which they will battle and die.
broken bottles – shattered dreams. no tomorrows – violent screams

crushing a path through the suburbs.
taking whatever they will.
banded together by boredom, blind rage and lust all they feel.
broken bottles – shattered dreams. no tomorrows – silent screams

no use in talkin' – nobody hears – no use in cryin' – can't show your fears.
no use in tryin' – no future hear – just angry people – blind rage

fight for freedom – we're the only ones
fight for freedom – we know what must be done
fight for freedom – breaking all the rules
fight for freedom – wasting all the fools

fight! fight! – kill! kill!

living like there's no tomorrow, no future for them in sight.
opposition gives them false purpose.
raw power gives them the right.
broken bottles – shattered dreams. no tomorrows – silent screams

8. T.M. (You Paid The Price)

what went on in you head when they told you.
did you think that it was all a lie?
you were leading cattle to the slaughter.
you still lived when all around you died.
how many lives did it take to convince you –
did you see that what you did was wrong?
serving death to the people of the city.
were you so cold you could not see the harm?

mary – mary – oh the blood of a thousand lives stain your hands
mary – mary – but you paid the price

how did you feel when they said you had killed them – did you feel their agony and pain?
or did you think that they were mistaken – you would never, never kill or maim.
you wouldn't let them cut in your body.
you thought they were nothing more than fools.
when you have to answer to the master.
their souls will avenge themselves on you.

mary – mary – oh the blood of a thousand lives stain your hands
mary – mary – but you paid the price

i feel your sorrow, your agony and pain.
it's time to weep no more, sentence is over, you're debt has been paid.
lay your soul to rest.

did you finally tire of the running –or did your conscience finally get to you?
did they get you when you were not looking?
either way, your game was all through.
26 years you were locked from the outside.
they slammed the door and threw away the key.
you calmly accepted your 'sentence'.
for with your death you knew you'd then be free.
