1. The Choice

You thought that you had the power
You thought you knew the way
Temptation gave you everything
And nothing could take it away

Vanity and pride now you pay the price
Your legacy remains, the ashes of your life

Love or hate – peace or war
Life or death – the choice is yours

Kies just seem to surround you
Deception you practice each day
Caught in delusions of grandeur

Vanity and pride now you pay the price
Your legacy remains, the ashes of your life

Love or hate – peace or war
Life or death – the choice is yours

Sold your soul and you turned away
Now there's nothing left for you to say

All of your talents are borrowed
But no one will call you a thief
You left a trail of destruction, sorrow, betrayal and grief

Love or hate – peace or war
Life or death – the choice is yours

Sold your soul and you turned away
Now there's nothing left for you to say
Yeah you sold your soul and you turned away
You crossed the line, now it's way too late

2. The Hammer Will Fall

Vigilante man walks the streets at night
Waiting on the dark side of town
His eyes are everywhere, he hars every sound
There ain't nothin' that he doesn't see
It was a desperate situation as the darkness closed in
I felt the swear trickle down off my chin
When your feeling the pull ya'gotta'fight like a bull
Or everybody's gonna drag ya on in

Demanding justice the meek seek their revenge
Vanquishing the wicked they have no regrets

The hammer will fall
The blood will make us free
The hammer will fall
The masses will rise again

He knows the difference between right and wrong
He only feeds on the dead
He's got his righteous anger he is known and feared
Death is all that he's got to give

So I hit the floor killing three or tour
Shooting bullets fast as I can
Vengeance is mine sayeth the lordand
I'm his right hand man

Demanding justice the meek seek their revenge
Vanquishing the wicked they have no regrets

The hammer will fall
The blood will make us free
The hammer will fall
The masses will rise again
The hammer will fall
The dead will live forever
The hammer will fall
The blind will see again

Shining in his glory the world must repent
Snctioned by a greater power...
Destruction will rain down on the face of the earth

The hammer will fall
The blood will make us free
The hammer will fall
The masses will rise again
The hammer will fall
The dead will live forever
The hammer will fall
The blind will see again

Demanding justice the meek seek their revenge
Vanquishing the wicked they have no regrets

3. Soos Creek Cemetary

Soos creek cemetery late at night
The tombstones glowed with an eerie light
The moon was full as the fog rolled in
We were sleeping on a shack that was made out of tin
Something's going on I said to my friends
This was a long time ago I mean way back when
I'll never forget what he said to me
With a twisted laugh and a ghoulish glee

Don't close your eyes or you will die
There's no place left for you to hide

Don't you know that evil is real
A presence here that only you can feel
Darkness tries to crush the light
If crippled by fear you will lose the fight

These things in the fog they were evil I could tell
Like laughter from the devil in the bowels of hell
Voices getting louder as they filled my head
And I knew in my heart that we would soon be dead

4. Hannibal

I am one with those I take, their spirits live in me
I watch and wait and I know just when
It's home their gonna be
I am all the afterbirth, the part that no one wants
So strap me in your padded cell
Or I'll eat your body parts

I am a child of our society
Killing the weak makes sense to me
I am becoming – I am becoming

Those of you who think you smart
And try and pick my brain
I'll crawl inside your tiny head making you insane
So stay at home, don't follow me
Your death would be a shame
Cause when you find the next one dead
You'll know just who to blane

5. Burning At The Stake

In 1410 it was written when
The Smithfield fires burned so hot
The Saints were led as the bodies bled
To a place where they knew that they'd be free
Through the years and with all the fears
Kingdoms rose and then would fall
Ceaser's turn still the martyrs burned
As the pious all would heed the call

I will not kneel or confess to a lie
Standing for truth on this day I will die
Burning at the stake – falsely accused

Burning at the stake – burning at the stake
Flames are burning high

45 the believers died as Stalin burned the country's face
Hitler proved he could remove 6 million just because of race
We make the plea of the century
Cause the fires still are burning hot
At your best could you stand the test
Of living in a prison till you rot?

It is true and I'm telling you, lies travel faster than the truth
The world is wrong and it won't be long
Till the devil asks ya who you're gonna choose
It's still this way, each and every day
Thousands die for their faith
In your hearts desire could you take the fire
And face your final fate

6. D.S.D.

Deep in the land there is darkness
The thing that is there has conceived

Stephen and James were the first to die
Killed for the way they believed

Judgement day will come and you will bow down
All the dead will rise, the angels will cry

Die satan die
Die satan die

Pestilence, famine and blood wars, everyone loses their mind
Ripping the flesh off the holy, it's just a matter of time

Torture so evil and cunning
The devil himself would be proud
Killing the innocent children
Their blood will cry out from the ground

7. Nightmare Part II

Danger, terror from out in the night
Shadows closing coming for my life
How could this have happened? Into misery
Locked inside a nightmare and no one has the key

It happened on a Friday
As I lay awake in bed
This spirit in the forest
Racing straight for my head

Blackness – darkness – madness
You can't know the fear

Locked inside a nightmare
Locked inside a nightmare

Voices louder ringing in my ears
Thought it was the radio (thing's been dead for years)
I can't stand it anymore make it go away
Imagine if you will of knowing you're the prey

Blackness – darkness – madness
You can't know the fear

Pain is falling from the sky, you know you must forget
Vile recollections of unholy black regret
Paralyzed you cannot move, just breathing is a chore
Impossible to stop, it can slip beneath a door

Locked inside a nightmare...

8. Vlad

He lived before, he'll live again
His thirst for blood will never end
In a land far away, in a time long ago
In a castle that stood dark and cold

He's flying overhead, his sad wings beat the night
Stronger than a thousand men but must avoid the light

Break these chains
Drive a stake through my heart
Set me free
Drive a stake through my heart

I am damned, never free, a prisoner of fate
This lust for blood consuming me as I lay down in my grave

Across the threshold there is no end
From the grave I rise again

9. Ballad For Marianne

It's written somewhere in the corners of my mind
Never let the moon come and take me soon
When the days just pass me by
I sit and wonder staring at the sea
Why I'm standing here holding back the tears
Under grey and broken skies
My heart is breaking
There is nothing left to say
Oh how can I end this pain

Take this pain away
Can't live another day

Everyday it's the same old thing, I'm walking in the rain
I can see your face but I can't erase the love you left behind
Why you chose to take your life and end it on that day
Marianne I can't understand why you had to turn away
This place you've gone to there ain't no going back
You left me here alone

Our son is weeping as we stand here by your grave
Ain't it sad and you know it's bad to remember you this way
Life can sometimes be so cruel
But we must carry on
The morning star
You know it's never far
but you could never see
If I could have just on more wish
I'd hold you once again, oh hold you once again

10. Mississippi Queen

Mississippi Queen
You know what I mean
Mississippi Queen
She taught me everything

Down around Vicksburg
Down Louisiana way
Lived a cajun lady
Called the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine

While the rest of them dudes was a getting their kicks
Buggy beg your pardon I was getting mine

Mississippi Queen
You know what I mean
Mississippi Queen
She taught me everything

This lady she asked me if I could be her man
You know I done told her I do what I can
To keep her looking pretty, but her dresses that shine

While the rest of them dudes was a getting their kicks
Buggy beg your pardon I was getting mine

Mississippi Queen
You know what I mean
Mississippi Queen
She taught me everything

Down around Vicksburg
Down Louisiana way
Lived a cajun lady
Called the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine

While the rest of them dudes was a getting their kicks
Buggy beg your pardon I was getting mine
