MASTER RECORDING LYRICS

FONT:
Guilty as charged but damn it, it ain’t right There’s someone else controlling me Death in the air, strapped in the electric chair This can’t be happening to me Who made you God to say: “I’ll take your life from you”? Flash before my eyes Now it’s time to die Burning in my brain I can feel the flames Wait for the sign to flick the switch of death It’s the beginning of the end Sweat, chilling cold as I watch death unfold Consciousness my only friend My fingers grip with fear What I am doing here? Flash before my eyes Now it’s time to die Burning in my brain I can feel the flames Someone help me Oh please, God help me They’re trying to take it all away I don’t want to die Someone help me Oh please, God help me They’re trying to take it all away I don’t want to die Time moving slow, the minutes seem like hours The final curtain call I see How true is this? Just get it over with If this is true, just let it be Wakened by the horrid scream Freed from the frightening dream Flash before my eyes Now it’s time to die Burning in my brain I can feel the flames No mercy for what we’re doing No thought to even what we’ve done We don’t need to feel the sorrow No remorse for the helpless one War without end No remorse, no repent We don’t care what it meant Another day, another death Another sorrow, another breath No remorse, no repent We don’t care what it meant Another day, another death Another sorrow, another breath Blood feeds the war machine As it eats its way across the land We don’t need the feel the sorrow No remorse is the one command War without end No remorse, no repent We don’t care what it meant Another day, another death Another sorrow, another breath No remorse, no repent We don’t care what it meant Another day, another death Another sorrow, another breath Only the strong survive No one to save the weaker race We are ready to kill all comers Like a loaded gun right at your face War without end No remorse, no repent We don’t care what it meant Another day, another death Another sorrow, another breath No remorse, no repent We don’t care what it meant Another day, another death Another sorrow, another breath Attack! Bullets are flying, people are dying With madness surrounding, all hell’s breaking loose Soldiers are hounding, bodies are mounting Cannons are shouting to take their abuse With war machines going, blood starts to flowing No mercy given to anyone here The furious fighting, swords are like lighting It all becomes frightening, you know death is near No remorse Woah! No life till leather We’re gonna kick some ass tonight We got the metal madness When our fans start screaming, it’s right, well alright yeah When we start to rock we never want to stop again Hit the lights Hit the lights Hit the lights You know our fans are insane We’re gonna blow this place away With volume higher Than anything today, the only way yeah When we start to rock we never want to stop again Hit the lights Hit the lights Hit the lights With all our screaming We’re gonna rip right through your brain We got the lethal power It’s causing you sweet pain, oh sweet pain yeah When we start to rock we never want to stop again Hit the lights Hit the lights Hit the lights Hit the lights By last breath of the fourth winds blow, better raise your ears The sound of hooves knocks at your door Lock up your wife and children now, it’s time to wield the blade For now you’ve got some company The Horsemen are drawing nearer On leather steeds they ride They’ve come to take your life On through the dead of night With the four Horsemen ride Or choose your fate and die Oh ye-yeah! You’ve been dying since the day you were born, you know it’s all been planned The quartet of deliverance rides A sinner once a sinner twice, no need for confession now Cause now you’ve got the fight of your life The Horsemen are drawing nearer On leather steeds they ride They’ve come to take your life On through the dead of night With the four Horsemen ride Or choose your fate and die Oh ye-yeah! Time! Has taken its toll on you, the lines that crack your face Famine! Your body it has torn through, withered in every place Pestilence! For what you had to endure and what you have put others through Death! Deliverance for you for sure, now there’s nothing you can do Gather round young warriors now, saddle up your steeds Killing scores with demon swords Now is the death of doers of wrong, swing the judgement hammer down Safely inside armor, blood, guts and sweat The Horsemen are drawing nearer On leather steeds they ride They’ve come to take your life On through the dead of night With the four Horsemen ride Or choose your fate and die Oh ye-yeah! Sound is ripping through your ears, the deafening sound of metal nears Bodies waiting for his whips, the taste of leather on your lips Hear the cry of War louder than before With his sword in hand to control the land Crushing metal strikes on this frightening night Fall onto your knees for the Phantom Lord Victims falling under chains, you hear them crying death pains The fists of terrors breaking through, now there’s nothing you can do Hear the cry of War louder than before With his sword in hand to control the land Crushing metal strikes on this frightening night Fall onto your knees for the Phantom Lord Uoh! The leather armies have prevailed, the Phantom Lord has never failed Smoke is lifting from the ground, the rising volume metal sound Hear the cry of War louder than before With his sword in hand to control the land Crushing metal strikes on this frightening night Fall onto your knees for the Phantom Lord Fall to your knees and bow to the Phantom Lord Do unto others as they’ve done to you But what the hell is this world coming to? Blow the universe into nothingness Nuclear warfare shall lay us to rest Fight fire with fire Ending is near Fight fire with fire Bursting with fear We all shall die Time is like a fuse, short and burning fast Armageddon’s here, like said in the past Fight fire with fire Ending is near Fight fire with fire Bursting with fear Soon to fill our lungs, the hot winds of death The gods are laughing, so take your last breath Fight fire with fire Ending is near Fight fire with fire Bursting with fear Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire Fight!
