Wizard - Trail Of Death Album Lyrics

Creeping Death

MY LIFE WAS NOT EXITING
BUT ALSO NOT REALLY FRIGHTING
I DID NOT CARE ABOUT THE THINGS
WHATEVER FUTURE BRINGS
EXPECTED SURELY TO LIVE FOREVER
AT LEAST FOR ME TIME’S RUNNING SLOWER
THIS CHANGED WITHIN SOME PAINFUL DAYS
THERE WOULD BE NO REDEMPTIVE WAYS
UNHEALABLE BUT FAST DISEASE
NO DRUGS WERE FOUND THE PAIN TO EASE

WHEN NIGHT COMES DOWN, FROZEN INSIDE
I’M PETRIFIED, I CANNOT HIDE

THIS AGONISING CREEPING DEATH!
HOW CAN I STAND THIS ON MY OWN?
OH MY GOD, IS THIS YOUR DRESS?
PLEASE DON’T LET ME BE ALONE!

THE PHYSICAL DECAY IS CLEAR
THAT’S NOT WHAT I DO REALLY FEAR
BUT WHAT IS UP WHEN ALL IS DONE?
WHAT AWAITS ME, WHEN I’M GONE?

I’D GLADLY TRUST IN JESUS CHRIST
ETERNAL LIFE AND PARADISE
BUT IT IS SO HARD FOR ME
WHAT WILL I SEE, WHAT WILL THERE BE?

NOW IT IS NEAR, THE LAST GOODBYE
THERE’S NO TIME LEFT TO ASK YOU WHY?

THIS AGONISING CREEPING DEATH!
HOW CAN I STAND THIS ON MY OWN?
OH MY GOD, IS THIS YOUR DRESS?
PLEASE DON’T LET ME BE ALONE!

War Butcher

I STUMBLE AROUND IN WALLS OF DEBRIS
I’M PERFECTLY ARMED, NO HAND LEFT FREE
EVERYTHING I WEAR IS DESIGNED TO KILL
FOR THIS JOB I LACK NO SKILL

I LAY LAND MINES OUT FOR THE KINDS
I RAPE ALL WOMEN AND SPREAD MY AIDS
I SLIT THROATS, CUTTING SLOW BUT DEEP
I KILL SOLDIERS IN THEIR SLEEP

WAR BUTCHER - I AM THE MAN! YES I CAN!
I JUST DEFEND RIGHT TO THE END
WAR BUTCHER - I AM MAN! YES I CAN!
TOO LATE TO REGRET, TOO LATE TO FORGET!

SO MANY PEOPLE, FATED TO DIE
THE REASON WAS, ANOTHER LIE
SURELY THEY ALL DIED, BY MY HAND
NO CHANCE TO ESCAPE TO ANOTHER LAND

I AM MAD BUT AT THE SAME TIME SAD
I REMEMBERED WHAT MY MOTHER SAID
PLEASE DON’T GO, DON’T SELL YOUR SOUL
YOUR GRAVE WILL BE IN DIRTY SOIL

WAR BUTCHER - THE LAST COMBAT HAS COME FOR ME
I PISS MY TROUSERS, CAN’T YOU SEE?
WAR BUTCHER - I CANNOT SEE THE BULLET FLYING
BUT I FEEL THAT I’M DYING

WAR BUTCHER - WHO SAID I COULD?
WHO KNEW I WOULD?
GRAVE IN THE LAST ROW - RELEASE MW NOW!
WAR BUTCHER

Electrocution

BY LAW AND ORDER OF THE STATE TEXAS
YOU WILL COME TO DEATH BY ELECTROCUTION
MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL

"DEATH PENALTY" WERE THEIR LAST WORD
YES, I DESERVE TO LEAVE THIS WORLD
PARENTS CANNOT STAND MY CRIME
A CHILD DIED BY THE HAND OF MINE

I’M ROTTING ENDLESS IN THIS ROOM
AWAITING HERE A PAINFUL DOOM
EXCUSES CANNOT MAKE UNDONE
I DO REGRET, GO DOWN, MY SUN

OLD SPARKY IS A FRIEND OF MINE
I HEAR THE BELLS BEGIN TO CHIME
OLD SPARKY, I AM READY TO DIE
THE FINAL HOUR, I WAS FRY

QUARTER, CRUCIFY OR DROWNING
SHOOTING, STONING, GAS CHAMBER
THE GUILLOTINE, BURIED ALIVE
BURN AT THE STAKE, DIE BY THE KNIFE

MANKIND INVENTED SO MUCH WAYS
TO PAINFUL END A CRIMINAL’S DAYS
I ASK MYSELF, IS THERE A SOLUTION
BUT I CAN’T STOP ELECTROCUTION

OLD SPARKY IS A FRIEND OF MINE
I HEAR THE BELLS BEGIN TO CHIME
OLD SPARKY, I AM READY TO DIE
THE FINAL HOUR, I WAS FRY

OLD SPARKY IS A FRIEND OF MINE
I HEAR THE BELLS BEGIN TO CHIME
OLD SPARKY, THE CHAIR IS READY, I AM NOT
ARE YOU SURE IT WAS NO PLOT?

Angel Of Death

MY LOVING FATHER NAMED ME ZETH
I’M LIVING IN THIS LAND OF DEATH
THE ONLY GOODS THIS GROUND WILL BEAR
IS COAL AND FEAR WE HAVE TO SHARE

I KNOW THE MINES HERE ARE NOT SAFE
BUT OTHERS TOLD ME TO BE BRAVE
FOR YEARS NOW I WORK IN THIS TRAP
BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY, IT’S CRAP

THE ONLY WAY IS GOING DOWN
DARKNESS WILL BECOME MY GOWN
I FEEL YOU STRONG

I FEEL YOU STRONG, ANGEL OF DEATH
WHY DON’T YOU TALK TO ME, TO ZETH?
YOUR WINGS ARE WIDE AND PAINTED BLACK
EATING MY SOUL, EMBRACING MY HEART,
CLASPING MY NECK, ANGEL OF DEATH

IT FEELS LIKE HUNDRED YEARS HAVE PASSED
I HEARD A BANG ABOVE, SO FAST
THE CEILING CRUSHED DOWN ONTO THE FLOOR
I CAN’T REMEMBER ANY MORE

I WOKE UP STUCK BETWEEN TWO STONES
NO CHANCE TO MOVE ONE OF MY BONES
BURIED ALIVE, WELL DONE, I THINK
AWAITING AZRAEL TO WINK

THE ONLY WAY IS GOING DOWN
DARKNESS WILL BECOME MY GOWN
I FEEL YOU STRONG

I FEEL YOU STRONG, ANGEL OF DEATH
WHY DON’T YOU TALK TO ME, TO ZETH?
YOUR WINGS ARE WIDE AND PAINTED BLACK

NO HOPE FOR RESCUE AROUND HERE
I LANGUISH, DIE OF THIRST, DON’T CHEER
I’D NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD TAKE SO LONG
ANGEL OF DEATH IS SLOW AND STRONG

I FEEL YOU STRONG, ANGEL OF DEATH
WHY DON’T YOU TALK TO ME, TO ZETH?
YOUR WINGS ARE WIDE AND PAINTED BLACK

Angel Of The Dark

YOU CALL ME SAINT
YOU CALL ME SINNER
SOMETIMES YOU WANNA BURN ME
BUT I’M NOT GOD
AND I’M NOT EVIL

I AM AN ANGEL OF THE DARK

FOE SO LONG I WANDERED
AND SEARCHED THE TRUTH
IS THERE A SENSE IN THE END

MY FLESH IS IMMORTAL
BUT MY SOUL IS DEAD
NOBODY CAN IMAGINE THE PAIN

A DARK DESIRE INSIDE ME
NO WORDS WILL GIVE ME HOPE
DAMNED TO ETERNAL LIFE
NO WARMTH EMBRACES MY SOUL

I AM AN ANGEL OF THE DARK
I LIVE HUNDREDS OF YEARS
I SAW MILLIONS OF TEARS
I AM AN ANGELS OF THE DARK
I AM NOT BORN TO DIE
I AM NOT BORN TO CRY

ALONG TIME AGO
I FELL IN LOVE
MARIA, MY WARMTH AND MY LIFE

BUT IT ENDS LIKE IT STARTED
IT CRUSHED ALL MY HOPES
TO LIVE A NORMAL GUY

A DARK DESIRE INSIDE ME
NO WORDS WILL GIVE ME HOPE
DAMNED TO ETERNAL LIFE
NO WARMTH EMBRACES MY SOUL

I AM AN ANGEL OF THE DARK
I AM AN ANGEL OF THE DARK
I AM AN ANGEL OF THE DARK
I AM AN ANGEL OF THE DARK
I LIVE HUNDREDS OF YEARS
I SAW MILLIONS OF TEARS
I AM AN ANGELS OF THE DARK
I AM NOT BORN TO DIE
I AM NOT BORN TO CRY
I AM AN ANGEL OF THE DARK

Black Death

DEEP IN THE FOREST
IN THIS SMALL VILLAGE
THERE LIVE THE SURVIVORS
OF MY LITTLE GIFT

HARD WORKING MAN
MOTHERS AND CHILDREN
SWEET SMALL WHITE HOUSES
I DESTROY IT ALL

CAUSE NOW I CROSSED YOUR WAY
YOUR END IS NEAR DON’T PRAY
NOW YOU TAKE YOUR LAST BREATH
HERE COMES FATHER DEATH

I’M THE MASTER OF PAIN
BLACK DEATH IS MY NAME
I JUST WANT TO SEE YOU SUFFERING IN MY ARMS
I’M THE MASTER OF PAIN
BLACK DEATH IS MY NAME
I JUST WANT TO SEE YOU BLEEDING IN MY ARMS

BLOOD SPILLING MAN
SUFFERING WOMEN
LOUD CRYING CHILDREN
IS WHAT I WANT

FEVER INSANITY
BLOOD AND PAIN
ALL HOPE IS GONE
ONLY AGONY

COME TO MY CHAMBER OF PAIN
I WILL EMBRACE YOU
YOU WILL CRY AND I WILL LAUGH
YOU WILL BLEED
AND I WILL DRINK YOUR BLOOD
FEEL THE ETERNAL PAIN

One For All

IT’S THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
ENEMIES ARE WAITING
FOR THE FINAL COMMAND
HOW MANY LIVES WILL END?

THE SOUND OF DEATH AND HATE IS IN THE AIR
EVEN BRAVE HEARTS ARE POUNDING IN FEAR

NOW ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE
WITH THE BACKS AGAINST THE WALL
WE WILL TRY TO SURVIVE THIS END OF ALL
NOW ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE
THERE’S NO PLACE TO HIDE
SO RUN AND SURVIVE BEFORE YOU DIE

HUNDREDS OF IMPACTS
BURSTING IN THE NIGHT
THE FIRST HOUSES BURNING
FATHER DEATH WILL COME

THE SOUND OF DEATH AND HATE IS IN THE AIR
EVEN BRAVE HEARTS ARE POUNDING IN FEAR

NOW ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE
WITH THE BACKS AGAINST THE WALL
WE WILL TRY TO SURVIVE THIS END OF ALL
NOW ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE
THERE’S NO PLACE TO HIDE
SO RUN AND SURVIVE BEFORE YOU DIE

THE SMELL OF BLOOD AND SMOKE
TAKES OUR SIGHT
AN UNCHAINED NIGHTMARE
SEE YOU ALL IN HELL

NOW ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE
WITH THE BACKS AGAINST THE WALL
WE WILL TRY TO SURVIVE THIS END OF ALL
NOW ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE
THERE’S NO PLACE TO HIDE
SO RUN AND SURVIVE BEFORE YOU DIE

Post Mortem Vivere

I INVITE YOU TO FOLLOW ME ON A JOURNEY INTO THE AFTERLIFE
THIS MYSTIC DARKNESS OR HEAVENLY BRIGHTNESS WE DON’T KNOW
A PIECE OF ENDLESS TIME, INCONCEIVABLE FOR US
THEREFORE RELIGION WAS FOUNDED, TO EXPLAIN, TO HOPE

POST MORTEM VIVERE...

DEEPEST DARKNESS
EMPTY DEADNESS
THE DAMNED FEAR THE AFTERLIFE
DEEPEST DARKNESS
EMPTY DEADNESS
THE FAITHFUL WILL SURVIVE

PARADISE, THE SWEETEST FRUIT TO REACH, WHATEVER THIS MAY MEAN
HELL, THE ALLEGORY OF ALL EVIL, THE ENDLESS PAIN OF SOUL
BORN AGAIN, AS ANOTHER CREATURE, TO REACH A HIGHER LEVEL
THE BIG VOID, NOTHING WILL BE LEFT, GAME OVER

POST MORTEM VIVERE...

DEEPEST DARKNESS
EMPTY DEADNESS
THE DAMNED FEAR THE AFTERLIFE
DEEPEST DARKNESS
EMPTY DEADNESS
THE FAITHFUL WILL SURVIVE

Death Cannot Embrace Me

ONCE THERE WAS A FEVER INSIDE ME
IT SET THE DEMON FREE
AND TURNED ME INTO DARK ETERNITY

I AM, I AM A CREATURE OF MANKIND
AND I LAY IN MY BED
FEELING LIKE A MESSENGER OF DEATH

A BROKEN SOUL IN A BROKEN BODY
THAT IS DAMNED TO DARKNESS
AND CHAINED TO SHADOWS

DEATH CANNOT EMBRACE ME
I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’S FOR
I HAVE TO LIVE MY LIFE FOREVER
DEATH CANNOT EMBRACE ME
I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’S FOR
MY BODY IS BURNED BUT IT WILL STAY FOREVER

I TRY, I TRY TO FIGHT THE DEMON
AND I FEEL, I FEEL INSANITY, INSANITY
AND I WAKE, I WAKE UP SCREAMING
AND THERE IS NO HATE OR LOVE I CAN FEEL

I CAN FEEL NO HATE, I CAN FEEL NO LOVE
EVERYDAY I WAKE UP WITH TEARS IN MY EYES
WHO CAN SAVE MY LIFE
WHEN I FEEL DEATH INSIDE
NOBODY UNDERSTAND THE PAIN OF MY LIFE

Machinery Of Death

ONE SUNNY DAY, I THINK IT WAS SPRING
I FELT LIKE A PUPPET ON A STRING
I OPENED A DRAWER AND TOOK A KNIFE
A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE SEDUCED MY WIFE

I KNIFED HIM DOWN, TOOK HIS EYES
I THINK HE WAS REALLY VERY SURPRISED
FORTUNE FAVOURS FOOLS, THEY SAY
HIS BROTHERS CAME ALONG THE WAY

MACHINERY OF DEATH I START
IMPRESSIVE, FAST, COMPLETE AND SMART
A RED HAZE LAYS AROUND MY MIND
I SHOW NO MERCY, I AM BLIND

THEY LENT A RIFLE FROM GRANDPA AL
I SURELY MURDERED THEM ALL AS WELL
REMEMBER, WELL BEGUN IS HALF DONE
I RAN TO HIS HOME WITH MY NEW GUN

THEY SAW ME COMING, PRESENTED A FLAK
BUT I WAS FASTER, AND BROKE THEIR NECK
THE NOISE ANNOYED THE NEIGHBOURS' EARS
POLICE CAME SOON AND THEY WERE FIERCE

MACHINERY OF DEATH I START
IMPRESSIVE, FAST, COMPLETE AND SMART
A RED HAZE LAYS AROUND MY MIND
I SHOW NO MERCY, I AM BLIND

WHAT SHALL I SAY IT SHOOK THE GROUND
NO HEART OF THEM WILL FURTHER POUND
SOLDIERS IN TANKS WERE SENT TO ME
FROM UNIFORMS I SET THEM FREE

THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS
THAT WEAPONS ARE NO GOOD FOR THIS
YOU BETTER TALK AND USE YOUR BRAIN
OR YOU WILL FORCE A DEADLY RAIN

MACHINERY OF DEATH I START
IMPRESSIVE, FAST, COMPLETE AND SMART
A RED HAZE LAYS AROUND MY MIND
I SHOW NO MERCY, I AM BLIND

We Won't Die For Metal

REMEMBER HOW IT STARTED, THE FIRST BLAST IN MY EARS
BURNING IN MY HEAD, I - WILL - BE - FIERCE
I FELT SO STRONG, INVINCIBLE, MY HEART WAS OPEN WIDE
THE SOUND OF METAL STRUCK ME HARD, I - START - THE - FIGHT

I SEARCHED FOE METAL MANIACS
A BROTHERHOOD FOR ME
I FOUND THEM ON THE STREETS, I - WILL - NOT - FLEE

WE WORE BLACK LEATHER JACKETS
WITH PATCHES ALL AROUND
WE LOVE THE STYLE OF LIVING, BANG - TO - THE - SOUND

IF OTHERS DON’T LIKE OUR STYLE
WE ONLY SAY, FUCK YOU
SO LET US RAISE OUR FIST OF STEEL WITH PRIDE

LET US FIGHT
LET US FIGHT
DEFENDERS OF METAL STANDING SIDE BY SIDE
LET US FIGHT
LET US FIGHT
WE WON’T DIE FOR METAL BUT WE LIVE IT LOUD AND PROUD

25 YEARS AGO WE BEGUN TO DREAM
LOUD GUITARS A METAL SHOW, OUR HEARTS BEGUN TO BURN
POUNDING DRUMS A SCREAMING VOICE, PYROS ON THE STAGE
OUR DREAMS BECOME TRUE, FEEL OUR RAGE

IF OTHERS DON’T LIKE OUR STYLE
WE ONLY SAY, FUCK YOU
SO LET US RAISE OUR FIST OF STEEL WITH PRIDE

LET US FIGHT
LET US FIGHT
DEFENDERS OF METAL STANDING SIDE BY SIDE
LET US FIGHT
LET US FIGHT
WE WON’T DIE FOR METAL BUT WE LIVE IT LOUD AND PROUD
