Ravaged by Time
02:45
|
|||
Proud towers crumble and fall
See the shattered folk whom once stood tall
Straight from blue heavens came the smothering cloud
The golden meadows they withered and browned
Ere Goliath’s kingdom they did see
Now hear the lowly men groan in misery;
‘Woe, the gleaming stones were pillaged hard’
As the eras turned the marble to mud
Holding on, ravaged by time
Holding on, ravaged by time
Holding on, ravaged by time

Still Alive & Kicking
03:17
|
|||
Grasping in the shadows, roasting in the night
Hear the stifled shouts
Among the colonnades, skulks a sorry sight
Desperate whereabouts
Still alive & kicking
Frantic are the cries, the thunder doesn’t die
It resonates around
From Hades’ own cave, by clawing through the fray
One can seize the crown
Still alive & kicking
Fire burns below, the lost only can know
The way a free man strikes
Thrusting full at once, hold the power front
With full atomic might
Still alive & kicking

Smart Kills
04:28
|

Wondering aloud, blowing smoke behind me
The deluge falls in sheets
With straining eyes, the moon my only guide
Upon the sodden streets
What does it take to like me?
It’s gnawing at my brain
What does it take, can’t somebody tell me?
The anger stirs again
Smart Kills, a way of life
Bear the yoke, nurse the knife
Smart Kills
Smart Kills, helping me
Stave off the misery
Smart Kills
Brick twitten rings with footsteps, I flick an embering butt
A thirsty blade held tight
Cold-shouldered, spurned, browbeaten and burnt
Knuckles are turning white

The Scraggard (Howlin')
02:45
|
|||
I’m skulking round, I don’t have a care for money
My shoes have long since lost their shine
Got a grim heart and tongue, ‘cause to me I think it’s funny
Poke every bear, speak out of line
My shirt is threadbare, my mind a gurt confusion
My teeth ground to flour, my fists are tight
I’ve never felt a woman’s touch, to me love is an illusion
It scrambles away, stays out my sight
In my petrol tank is heavy music
Sirening, feeding power long through the dark nights
Stilling the course on the high seas of life
With nickel strings and gutter rhymes

Dark Dreaming
04:06
|
|||
Throw me a rope & pull me out of the tide
Got a demon deep inside
Throw me a rope & pull me out of the tide
Heavy, burdened I can’t hide
Is it a dream or reality? I feel the weight of the finality
Unfamiliar environment
Need a way for it to end
Trapped in my mind, all of the time
Trapped in my mind, day & night
I’m dark dreaming
Dark dreaming
Dark dreaming
Throw me a rope & pull me out of the tide
Got a demon deep inside
Throw me a rope & pull me out of the tide
Heavy, burdened I can’t hide
Can’t avoid the coming event, I fall into the torment
I lay in bed but I don’t want to sleep
Or am I dreaming and in too deep?

Panzerchild
03:24
|
|||
‘Midst shrieks and anguished cries,
He fights ‘neath dullen skies,
Fighting for his right to be
Firm and in fixed belief
Unwavering,
Boldly forth, a life to lead
When your world’s a war, face the cannonfire
Exult in triumph, onwards ever higher
You’ll get your victory leaf
Fight the Panzerchild fight
(Panzerchild fight)
Bannicked with bullets still
Harsh-done but iron-shelled
Set to win, this soldier never flees
Come the day, the sieger stands
No white flag in hand
Atop Olympus, he’s fit to feast

Alone in the Oaks
05:49
|
|||
‘Twas God’s will I was born a disfigured man
Tarred as a freak I turned to a thieving hand
Caught and cast-out of town by the village folk
Condemned and banished to a life amongst the oaks
With twisting trees as my only friends
If I must die here I must first take revenge
The humble homesteads round the old church spire
As they sleep shall they feel the heat of man-made fire

In These Trembling Hands
04:09
|
|||
The gunfire rumbles around
Showered with blackened earth, I hug the frozen ground
And you’re here
You’re here
In these trembling hands
Uttering desperate prayers
On tattered resin-paper I catch your face so fair
As whistles split the air
And you’re here
You’re here
In these trembling hands
My stomach wrenched with fear
Onwards they come, the guns are drawing ever near

Steamhammer
06:07
|
|||
Burning eyes, burning arms
Blown-out ears and a blown-out heart
Grimacing faces, through the searing steam
Born under blows, strained at the seam
Steamhammer, forged man and me
Steamhammer, forged man and me
Forced overload, the firm ground breaks
Foundations shatter and shake
Face the heat of the furnace bright
Pull well, pull fast, pull until it’s light
Steamhammer, forged man and me
Steamhammer, forged man and me
Steamhammer, created he
Whose heart is pounding and nerves are steel
When the only way’s through bitter trials
See Hephaestus smile
