Starlight

Know the bright lights of Hollywood
Movietowns, a phony world
Seen a few nights of wonder,
Seen a few nights of hell

Walkin' down the foggy streets of London-town
Now I know it well
Every light in the world is nothing
To the light we know so well

Starlight, shining bright, starlight

Had a bit of life in high society
The slums have seen me, too
And the rich and poor would wonder,
At somethin' old and new

See it every night goin' slowly 'round
Can't you see it's true
Out there every man is equal
Way out there in the blue

Starlight, shining bright, starlight

Take it all the way all night long
Twinkle on, you stars
I feel my brain is blinded,
I wonder what you are

Starlight, shining bright, starlight

Starlight...

London Leatherboys

Walking down the main street
I see a city's face
Boys dressed in leather
Girls dressed in lace

See the easy riders
They're roaring down their way
They need to give full speed ahead

They've been bunched together
To keep their crazy life
They turn on the power
Get wrecked every night

Got some kind of feeling
Looking in his eyes
I feel the power surge to a head

London leatherboys
Nightmare's pleasure, what you've done
London leatherboys
All together

After all the roaring
The sound of silence scares
Girl of the leader
Cried in his arms

Don't you see the danger
When we are running wild
Please, stop the games, it's getting late

London leatherboys
Nightmare's pleasure, what you've done
London leatherboys
All together

Swearing that he would do - He could not even say
Boy dressed in leather - Boy died in pain
They're the easy rider - But heroes die too fast
He was more than the best of the bunch

Best together - lousy leather
Say what's better - all together

London leatherboys
Nightmare's pleasure, what you've done
London leatherboys
All together

I Don't Wanna Be Like You

Heaven knows
Heaven knows I tried
To be like you
To be a part of the tribe

I'd rather leave it all behind
But that's alright
I'm not your average type
No Mr. Clean - hey, I wanna be me

Can't you see - I'm the exception to the rule
I know what I want
And I know I'm gonna get it
That's is why - I'm the exception to the rule
Don't push me too far
The way I am is just because

I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you
The walls can be shaking
The earth could be quaking
I still don't wanna be like you

I'm hog-tied'n'dirty
I'm tough and mean
Keep your Wall Street slickers
And the American dream

You ('ve) done me over and over
You ('ve) tried to tie me down
Why don't you step out of the shadows
Dare to roll the dice
Let it roll - and don't you push me around

Can't you see - I'm the exception to the rule
I know what I want
And I know I'm gonna get it
That's is why - I'm the exception to the rule
Don't push me too far
The way I am is just because

I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you - never ever!
The walls can be shaking
The earth could be quaking
But I still don't wanna be like you

The ordinary way of life ain't for me
I do what I want and I wanna be free
Never know, where I go or what I'm gonna do
Why can't you see - the only thing I know is that

I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you
If the oceans turn to desert
Hell can turn to ice
But I still don't wanna be like you

I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna be like you - no way!
The walls can be shaking
The earth could be quaking
But I still don't wanna be like - you!

Breaker

Rollin' just like thunder,
Tryin' to get you down
Mistreatin' everything,
If you were king he'd take your crown
If you were a dead man
He'd take ya from your grave
He will not mourn for you or me

Happiness he cannot feel
And love to him is so unreal
He burns like hell, he wants you dead,
Altogether hate's all he feel
Movin' like a spider' killin' off a fly
No hands, just fists, no heart, just rocks

Icicle brains
Bicycle chains

Rulin' like a tyrant,
Teasin' everyone around
He drags his legs, he plants his feet,
He's botherin' the ground
Here and now this man
You see plans his terror free
He's born to rule, a king to be

Icicle brains
Bicycle chains

He's a breaker
He will take ya
Destroyin' all around you
He's a breaker
He's a taker
He'd kill, maim, destroy to the end

Movin' like a spider,
Preyin' on the rest
Rulin' like a tyrant,
Tyrannosaurus rex
You could be a dead man,
And you won't know why
No hands, just fists,
No heart, just rocks

Icicle brains
Bicycle chains

He's a breaker
He will take ya
Destroyin' all around you
He's a breaker
He's a taker
He'd kill, maim, destroy to the end

Slaves To Metal

We hold the seeds of metal
And we scatter them around
We'll eat you up - and spit you out
Like a pack of wolves on the hunt

We are the kings of madness

We are the sons of evil
Burning down every house
We are the metal gladiators
Unchain the beast and let it loose

Come raise your hand and shout it out
We want it now we want it loud

'Cause we are slaves to metal
Locked into the taste of steel
Slaves to metal
We'll march you to the beat
We are slaves to metal
Chained up to the sound
Slaves to metal
We'll rock you to the ground - so evil

Born to be the bloodhounds
In the legions of the damned
A million miles of madnesses
On the battleground of screaming guitars

Will you taste the sweat of metal
Will you lick the open wounds
It's the ultiment commandment
Which will guarantee your doom

Come raise your hand and shout it out
We want it now we want it loud

'Cause we are slaves to metal
Locked into the taste of steel
Slaves to metal
We'll march you to the beat
We are slaves to metal
Chained up to the sound
Slaves to metal
We'll rock you to the ground

'Cause we are slaves to metal
Locked into the taste of steel
Slaves to metal
We'll march you to the beat
We are slaves to metal
Chained up to the sound
Slaves to metal
We'll rock you to the ground

Slaves to metal

Princess Of The Dawn

There's rain on the mountain
A white frost on the moors
It's an epoch of eternity
Waters touch the holy shore

It's a land of mystery
The world of unseen eyes
You can feel the shadow of a princess
She waits for you inside

The guardians of God play the pawns
Beg for mercy - hail the queen
Princess of the Dawn

In the war of the dragons
Young blood ran it's course
They fell to his blade
The knight Iron Horse

A forgotten priest
Disappearing in the haze
A chamber of vestal virgins
Twilight is her slave

The Wizard of Oz moved the pawns
Life for Satan - dust to dust
Princess of the Dawn

On the day of the testament
The seventh moon was raging fire
Heaven cried for the sacrifice
The midnight sun was rising higher

The Beauty and the Beast
Lies in her royal crypt
Her kiss is bitter sweet
Death upon her lips

The Holy Grail held the pawns
Kings and bishops bow to grace
Princess of the Dawn

The guardians of God play the pawns
Beg for mercy - hail the queen
Princess of the Dawn

A new day dawns for heaven and earth
A first sunbeam is killing the night
Once upon a time for ever more
The gloom with the spirit of that Lady in White

Princess - Princess - Princess of the Dawn
Princess - Princess - Princess of the Dawn
Princess - Princess - Princess of the Dawn
Princess - Princess - Princess of the Dawn

Restless And Wild

They're running wild
They're on a down hill ride
Like a rebel they look for more
Too young to die

Now you know your dreams are useless
And there 're lies You'll never tell

'cause you're so
Restless - restless and wild
Restless - restless and wild
Restless - restless and wild
Restless - restless and wild

Star born lovers
Angels in the night on a highway
They don't look back
Everybody's lost the way - yeah

The little girl wants to be an actress
Young boys are easy riders

They live so
Restless - restless and wild
Restless - restless and wild
Restless - restless and wild
Restless - restless and wild

Stay down - time will roll on
How do you feel when the night is gone
Stay down - time will come 'round
You are the man made for highway life
For the highway life

City lights moving on
No tomorrows - no destinations
Like a wheel turning on and on
You're a man born to run

Every world that you have seen was senseless
Keep moving on there's no other way

Cause you're so

Restless - restless and wild
Restless - restless and wild
Restless - restless and wild
Restless - restless and wild

Son Of A Bitch

Illusions and dreams
You're what you are
Do you know what I mean
I hear you clear
See in your eyes
Lying to please
It pleases to lie
You say it's your way
You say we'll make it
Right to the top
Your bullshit gets me
What have you got
I don't believe
A word you say
You make me laugh
Get outta my way
You say it's your way
Now listen to what I think of you:
Son of a bitch
Kiss my ass
Son of a bitch
Son of a bitch
You asshole
Son of a bitch
Cock suckin' motherfucker
I was right - take this: uuaah
Son of a bitch, ...
Cut you three times below the ass to short to shit
Two timing son of a dog

This One's For You

I can't wait much longer
Revenge is overdue
You took your chance and screwed me
Way back in '82

Inside my hate is burning
My brain's on overload
My innocence is over
Now I'm ready to explode

I'm gonna be your nemesis
I like it when you scream
I'm the mother of your nightmares
Got a contract to redeem

This one's for you - right in your face
Just sit on this and spin around
This one's for you - your time is up
Stick it - shove it - where the sun don't shine

You've always been a wise guy
You played at being rough
I stripped away your masquerade
And now you ain't so tough

You're a coward with no backbone
I will crush you with my heel
Put the scrapings in my blender
Add some bourbon - what a meal

I'm gonna be your nemesis
I like it when you scream
I'm the mother of your nightmares
Got a contract to redeem

This one's for you - right in your face
Just sit on this and spin around
This one's for you - I hold the ace
Stick it - shove it

This one's for you - right in your face
Just sit on this and spin around
This one's for you - a bunch of fives
Stick it - shove it

This one's for you - right in your face
Just sit on this and spin around
This one's for you - no one but you
Stick it - shove it
Where the sun don't shine

Bulletproof

He called it this - he called it that
But never what it was
We called it shit - we called it grass
That's the way it was
He took it once - just for the thrill
He'd bought a ticket to ride

We laughed about - the jokes he told
He was one of the boys
Hey, what a guy - he used to be
When he was sober and dry

Smokey nights - Gloomy lights
He was high as a kite
When he turned into a demon
No way to calm him down
Just like a Jekyl and Hyde

He wasn't bulletproof
Shot himself the final round
No man is bulletproof
It's destination underground
Too many journeys - on acid trains
Too many trips - on the astral plane

Danced with Lucy in the sky
On a cloud of ecstasy
Too late to stop him now
Even sacrifice his mother
Turn against his only friend
To reach the ultimate high

He wasn't bulletproof
He shot himself the final round
No man is bulletproof
It's destination underground
Bulletproof
The chief is your medicine-man
No man is bulletproof
He's gonna drug you down

He thought that he could fly
That he could reach the sky
But he went up too high - oh, so high
He kissed the ground - goodbye

He wasn't bulletproof
He shot himself the final round
No man is bulletproof
Destination underground
Bulletproof
The chief is your medicine-man
No man is bulletproof
He's gonna drug you down

Too High To Get It Right

Getting everything is easy for you
Fail for anything is something you can't do
If it doesn't work in the way you want it for
You start dreaming until it's right

Lie is lie -- and truth is truth
You'll turn it 'round, let someone else go down
You won't remember and no one would wonder
How you change it upside down

Too high to get it right
(too high to get -- too high to get)
Too high to get it right

(too high to get it right) -- too high to get it right
(too high to get it right) -- to get it right
(too high to get it right) -- too high to get it right
(too high to get it right) -- to get it right

To get it right

You can't deny it you're leaving your world
You are so restless, who's the one who's hurt
Living in your dreams and who seems to care
Cheating you is easy, 'cause you don't understand

Holding on -- letting loose
Don't you feel that you are confused
Too many words -- not spoken out
Too many things you've not thought about

Too high to get it right
(too high to get -- too high to get)
Too high to get it right

(too high to get it right) -- too high to get it right
(too high to get it right) -- to get it right
(too high to get it right) -- too high to get it right
(too high to get it right) -- to get it right

(too high to get it right) -- too high to get it right
(too high to get it right) -- to get it right
(too high to get it right) -- too high to get it right
(too high to get it right) -- to get it right

(too high to get it right) -- too high to get it right
(too high to get it right) -- to get it right
(too high to get it right) -- too high to get it right

(too high to get it -- too high to get it -- too high to get it)

Too high to get it (right)

Metal Heart

It is 1999
The human race has to face it
They are confronted with the truth
It's secret -- mysterious

A surgeon said it in the news
The human race is dying
But the result is no disease
Searching for you

Metal heart -- metal heart
They found it everywhere
Metal heart -- metal heart
Lifeless piece of steel

The scaring fact was even told
Total confusion
They found the same nightmare
Heartbeats -- time bombs

Metal heart -- metal heart
Unplugged they're dying
Metal heart -- metal heart
Unplugged they die

Metal heart -- metal heart
They found it everywhere
Metal heart -- metal heart
Lifeless piece of steel

Metal heart -- metal heart -- metal heart
Unplugged they're dying
Metal heart -- metal heart

Fast As A Shark

Fog in the streets
A church clock beats
Midnight - darkness all around

You better beware
You better take care
Be prepared for the shock

The time has come
And he's the one
Who's breathing down your neck

Coming from behind
Now it's your time
A loser will die

Fast as a shark he'll cut out of the dark
He's a killer - he'll rip out your heart
On a one way track and you're not coming back
'Cause the killer's on the attack

Surprise attack
Coming from the back
An expert of the deadly knack

Just take care
Just beware
Be prepared for the fight

Fast as a shark he'll cut out of the dark
He's a killer - he'll rip out your heart
On a one way track and you're not coming back
'Cause the killer's on the attack

Watch out - watch out

Fast as a shark he'll cut out of the dark
He's a killer - he'll rip out your heart
On a one way track and you're not coming back
'Cause the killer's on the attack

Fast as a shark he'll cut out of the dark
He's a killer - he'll rip out your heart
On a one way track and you're not coming back
'Cause the killer's
'Cause the killer's
'Cause the killer's on the attack

Balls To The Wall

Too many slaves in this world
Die by torture and pain
Too many people do not see
They're killing themselves, going insane

Too many people do not know
Bondage is over the human race
They believe slaves are always lose
And this fear keeps them down

Watch the damned - God bless ya
They're gonna break the chains
No, you can't stop them - God bless ya
They're coming to get you

And then you'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall - Balls to the wall

You may screw their brains
You may sacrifice them too
You may mortify their flesh
You may rape them all

One day the tortured stand up
And revolt against the evil
They make your drink your blood
And tear yourself to pieces

You better watch the damned - God bless ya
They're gonna break the chains
No, you can't stop them - God bless ya
They're coming to get you

And then you'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall - Balls to the wall

Here we go!

Come on man, let's stand up all over the world
Let's plug a bomb in everyone's ass
If they don't keep us alive
We're gonna fight for the right

Build a wall with the bodies, and you're saved
Make the world scared
Come on, show me the sign of victory
Sign of victory - Sign of victory

You better watch the damned - God bless ya
They're gonna break the chains
No, you can't stop them - God bless ya
They're coming to get you

You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall - Balls to the wall

You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You'll get your balls to the wall, man

What Else

Heroes - keep dying
Nations - dividing
Principles - they're gone
It's war

Wallstreet - buy in politics
Jesus - up for sale
Do anything - for money
I'm a whore

What else - what's in it for me
What else
What else - what's in it for me
What else

Deadlines - headlines
Make me - the biggest star
I don't need personality
cause it's war

I'm greedy - I'm deadly
Don't give a fuck anymore
Anything for money

Sodom And Gomorra

Ever since the stone-age
Man's been on the hunt
We were born to kill

Fighting for survival
All in self-defence
It was do or die

Now we're living in jungles
The concrete age
A maximum overdose of pleasure and pain

Self-inflicted - life corrupting
Antisocial - controversial - living in sin

Sodom and Gomorra
Let me tell you what I see
Sodom and Gomorra

Got not law and order
Ruled by anarchy
It's here to stay

Chaos in the classroom
Kids are killing kids
Getting outta hand

Mothers and fathers - the sickening ones
Raping the children
At the end of a gun

Self-inflicted - life corrupting
Antisocial - controversial - living in sin

Sodom and Gomorra
Let me tell you what I see
Sodom and Gomorra
We're in a burning hell for all eternity

Sodom and Gomorra
You mustn't look back
To Sodom and Gomorra
Don't you look back -
to the essence of evil

This universe of hatred
Aggression is the force
Heading for oblivion
We're on collision-course

Evolution's over
The devil has prevailed
Heaven screams for vengeance
This is judgement day

Self-inflicted - life corrupting
Antisocial - controversial - living in sin

Sodom and Gomorra
Let me tell you what I see
Sodom and Gomorra
Forever ruled by anarchy

Sodom and Gomorra
Forever damned to purgatory
Sodom and Gomorra

The Beast Inside

My mind is razor-sharp
And I'm wild-cat-mean
I'd like to shred your face
A danger to you
When I feel the urge
Deep down inside
I lose my human touch
I'm like a killing machine

I want to resist - but I can't hold it back
The beast is unleashed - it's got to attack
Again and again the force is too strong
It's breaching the chains

I've got the beast inside
Don't you trust in me
I've got the beast inside
Craving a victim - it's telling me to kill

I look through evil eyes
Prowling in the streets
In the dead of night
I'm a man on the hunt

I know my soul is under siege
Can't somebody stop me now
'cause I'm losing control

I've got the beast inside
Don't you trust in me
I know it must have been
The beast inside
It's driving me to kill

It's gotta be the beast - the beast - the beast
The beast - the beast - the beast - deep down inside

But when the deed is done
And the pain is gone
I feel renewed within
Until the voices return

The beast - the beast - the beast
The beast - the beast - the beast

My mind is razor-sharp
And I'm wild-cat-mean
I'd like to shred your face
I've told you before

When I feel the urge
Deep down inside
I lose my human touch
I'm just a killing machine

I want to resist -
But I can't hold it back
The beast is unleashed -
it's got to attack
Again and again the force is too strong
It's breaching the chains

It's gotta be the beast inside
Never ever trust in me
I know there is a beast inside
Inside in all of us

I feel I've got the beast inside
I'm screaming for help from this monster within
The beast inside - take a look in
The mirror - it's staring at you
Even at you - the beast inside

Bad Habits Die Hard

One step forward - two steps back
Living on the edge - it's as simple as that
I'm no Mr. Lucky - I've never been close
I'm higher than some - but I'm lower than most

Just when you thought that you'd got it made
The bitch draws blood again
You sow as you reap - the same mistakes
Buddy rings the bell - begin the same

Bad habits - bad habits die hard
Bad habits - bad habits die hard

I'm stuck in a rut - but I'm burning inside
I am what I am - just a low-down bum
Always end up in trouble - just trying to be good
But with tumbling dice - the sixes will come

Bad habits - bad habits die hard
I know I got a lot of bad habits - bad habits die hard
I bet you got 'em too

One step forward - two steps back
I get caught in the middle - nailed to the rack
Got a load of bad habits - corrupted within
I'm a freak of nature - full of vices and sins

Just when you thought that you'd got it made
The bitch draws blood again
You sow as you reap - the same mistakes
Buddy rings the bell - begin the game

Bad habits - bad habits die hard
Bad habits - bad habits die hard
I know I got a lot of bad habits - bad habits die hard
Everybody's got bad habits - bad habits die hard

Stone Evil

They terrorize and
Tyrannize democracies
Their narrow minds still nothing
Learned from history
The seeds of hate acquired from
Their ancestry
Spreading like a cancer in societies

They've got the poison inside
Rivers of pesticide
Skin-headed minions -
They're deaf, dumb and blind
Machind-like in body - robotic in mind

Stone evil - inherited sin
Stone evil - infected from within

They can't leave it -
They can't break the spell
Under orders to obey
It was meant to last a thousand years
It took the world into dismay

Stone evil - stone evil

If you're gonna throw the torch at us
Don't expect to not get burned
It's time to stand - and fight the right
This is the lesson we have learned

They're marching to a different beat and glorify
The darkest times when innocent were crucified
They paralyze and sterilize the masses' minds
They desecrate man's dignity - desensitize

They've got the poison inside
Rivers of pesticide
Skin-headed minions - they're deaf, dumb and blind
Machine-like in body - robotic in mind - evil

Stone evil - inherited sin
Stone evil - infected from within
Stone evil - inherited sin

Death Row

I'm dead meat - you took away my rights
To be a part of your society
A life-time in prison wouldn't justify
You wanna blow away a sucker - so I have to die

I'm still waiting for the final call
I wanna meet my maker - I'm ready to go
Kill me - kill me - kill me - please, kill me

Give me a reason why you're gonna let me wait
Some kind of punishment before you terminate
You're taking my life for your peace of mind
So let's go - start the show

Death row - I'm ready to go - death row
Let me die - let me go
Death row - I'm ready to go - death row
Let me die - let me go - death row

I'm a dead man walking so get outta my face
Rather die like a man than rotting this way
I hate you and you hate me
You can come and kiss my dignity
You're taking my life for your peace of mind
So let's go - start the show

Death row - I'm ready to go - death row
Let me die - let me go
Death row - I'm ready to go - death row
I'm ready to go - death row - death row

Your justice is not mine
You punish a crime with another crime
If you need to kill me for your peace of mind
Then let's go - start the show

Death row - I'm ready to go - death row
Let me die - let me go
Death row - I'm ready to go - death row
I'm ready to go - death row - death row

Death row - open up 'cause here I come
Death row - knock, knock, knocking
I'm no hero's son
Death row - there's no tears that you can sell
Death row - paid my ticket through the gates of hell

Death row - death row
Let me die - let me go
Death row - death row
