1. Heavy Metal Thunder

I've got something out of nothing, I've got life out of death
I've got my love from your hatred, so give me all you have left!
I've got a fate to challenge and a plan that will not fail
I've got rules I need to break and better ones to make!

I'm a clearheaded fucker
With a mind filled with doubt
But I've got no God or Satan
You can keep them if you want!
I am a hard core soft
I got metal to the bone
Baby your heart is mine to break
I might be more that you can take!

Don't you try to stop me now casue I'll be marching on – on and on
If death dares to face me I'll just keep marching on – on and on

I'm seeing red, through the hours I have bled
I'm a fan of S&M, tie my soul up once again
I've got no complaints, I don't blame anyone at all
I proudly blame myself, it helps me set things straight
So your days are all shit, well, then you know how that is
Are you tired of yourself? Why don't you throw yourself away
Because courage is free and so is your goddamn life
Nothing is over until your heart says... stop!

Don't you try to stop me now casue I'll be marching on – on and on
If death dares to face me I'll just keep marching on – on and on

2. Bad Boys

Dad ran away long before you were born
Mom, she was lost
Amongst demons she was torn
Hated from day one
Crushed like a bug on the ground
Beat up at home, beat up in school
No friends to be found
Sat tight through the years
Waiting for the tables to turn
Staring into the fire
Hoping the memories would burn
You stood the line from schoolyard to cell
Nobody cared until you unleashed your hell

Shout it
Out loud
We are here to stay!
Scream out
Scream loud
We are here to stay

Took a slow ride up and a fast one down
Fate is looking at you with it's frown
The rain hammers down
The storms are howling through the night
When the shit hits the fan
You do as expected from Satan's knight
You throw your life into the eye
Of the wishing well
Spin the wheel of chance
Until there are no chances left
With your hard dealt debts
You place all of your bets
Playing high with a handful of blanks

Shout it
Out loud
We are here to stay!
Scream out
Scream loud
We are here to stay

Why are all the wbad boys
Always seated in the back
They always hold the hammer
When the souls and the skulls starts to crack

Why are all the wbad boys
Always seated in the back
Darkness injected into light
Even hatred can't keep them on track

3. Love & Destruction

Deep in your sleep
I saw your soul open it's eye
A second that's buried
In the depth of my mind
That final moment
I had to realize
That we could not win this fight
Shadows were crawling all over the walls
Pulling you closer to death

Don't leave me here
With these words
They are all that's left
They are sunshine on your lips

Fallen red leaves
Covered the fields you held so dear
Winter crept nearer with heavy steps
Your hands got colder
Your mind eaten raw
Slowly fading day by day
You lost all your words
All skin and bones
Sorrow's got nowhere to turn

Don't leave me here
With these words
They are all that's left
They are sunshine on your lips
In our memories...

Grinded down
Torn up by the roots
Dragged down deep
Drowning in despair

Grinded down
Torn up by the roots
Dragged down deep
Drowning in despair

4. Hi-Fidelity Heartbreak

Eat your words, you don't love me anyway
Life goes on, we might meet another day
We got better dreams to chase
A better world to face
You say it's over and I know it is
Let me seal it with this last kiss

I want to try again
Let's fail again

Keep your thoughts, you don't owe me anything
Our love is like a bird with broken wings
I wanted to believe in us
Now my hopes are led astray
You say it's over and I know it is
Let me seal it with this last wish...

I want to try again
I want to fail again
We may be torn apart
Yes I want another taste

I want to try again
I want to fail again
Our time has passed us by
But the memories they are still lit

5. Metallic Depression

When the winter never ends
Moments all appear in sorrow
When the pain will never fade
You walk the footsteps of the dead
Visions of life are smiling at you
From nightly TV-screens
Your existence feels created from
The empty dreams of plastic life

Follow the beat of your heart
Don't let the silence tear you apart
Follow the steps of your destiny
Walk in the direction it's pointing out to you

When every day is all the same
You just sit and wait for it to end
It seems life promises nothing but death
Don't look for love because there is none left
An existence of lies, that's what you breed
You're trapped inside your hear – living dead
You submit to darkness, your illusions shattered
When the mind is cold and dead your thoughts are void

Follow the beat of your heart
Don't let the silence tear you apart
Follow the steps of your destiny
Walk in the direction it's pointing out to you

6. It's a Hard Life (But...)

Kiss the hand that crushes your dreams
Pledge allegiance to the flesh
Two empty hands are more than they seem
The years pass us by so fast
Eating us piece by piece
Until there are nothing left of us

Hold on
The thought that saves me
Keep me out of the dark
Shine on
The light that leads me
Till the end of my life

Now my mirror is growing darker
Even the smiles they hurt
While the picture of you is growing larger
This path of city lights
Leads me always back
To where I was and nowhere lese

Hold on
The thought that saves me
Keep me out of the dark
Shine on
The light that leads me
Till the end of my life

7. Call Out To The Lions

Half past heaven and hell
You're speeding down the highway
To where your visions eject
The neon lights are calling:
"Liberation of the self we sell"
Marching to the end of all existence
First rule you learned
Was to abandon your dreams
All I needed was these empty hands
And the power of my will

It takes a truth to open up your eyes
That is bigger than your greatest lie
It takes courage and guts
If you plan to survive your own death
Come on now, break yourself free
Of love long lost
Let your desires consume
This petty world
Sense the essence you are not
Allowed to comprehend

Come on!
Scream for me now!
Leave all your worries behind
Let me unleash your mind
Come on!
Let me show you the way
So sing with me now
Oooooohh
This is your life, this is your shot!

Come on!
Scream for me now!
Leave all your worries behind
Let me unleash your mind
Come on!
Let me show you the way
So sing with me now
Oooooohh
Scream for me now!
This is your life!
This is your shot!

8. We Will Survive

We're battered, bruised and broken
Thrown out with the trash
Lost in the blind alley of no retreat
We're golden rings among the litter
Nobody is there to pick us up
We are the light leading us through the night

We will survive
We will survive
This is our time
We will survive

We have worn our path
We've gone through fire and through ice
We have stared into the darkness of their eyes
The end of the line is where we want it to be
When our minds are armed, when our spirits are free...

We will survive
We will survive
This is our time
We will survive

No matter what!

9. Sin, Sex & Spandex

I am a beast, I'm full of sin
But trust your voices from within
I've got love to waste
So give me a taste
Pass me the wildness in your eyes
It reminds me that I'm alive
I roll you like a dice
You are my favourite vice

I say rise, rise now
High above the ground
This is just for you and me
We're gonna rise, rise, rise now
High above the ground
You are all and everything I need

We're diamonds on a wire
We're hope, death and desire
I'm all you require
I'm earth wind and fire
Like blood on a knife we gently slide
Rolling from side to side
The truth is open wide
On it's back we ride!

We gonna rise, rise, rise
So bleed with me again
We gonna rise, rise, rise
So bleed with me again
We're going high high high
So breathe life into me again
We're going high high high
So breathe life into me again

And I say rise, rise now
High above the ground
This is just for you and me
We're gonna rise, rise, rise now
High above the ground
You are all and everything I need
