1. Mrs Victoria
+++++++++++++++
As I laid my head to rest, my grandmother she said.
I have for you a fairy tale of a friend I knew so well.
The story that I tell you, is as close as you can feel.
So close your eyes and go to sleep, I'll make your dreams come real.
There was a boy just like you, a handsome lad he was.
He never played with the other children, he was the only son.
His father and his mother, spoiled him with toys.
His grandmother, she was a witch, a scare to little boys.
They called her Mrs. Victoria
The little girls and boys their stories told ya
On Halloween the children didn't dare
They knew behind the door there was a scare
He went to school just like you, he never missed a class
But all the other children, they made fun of him and laughed
His teacher she felt sorry for him, put him above the rest
But all his mates they beat and bruised him, called him the teacher's pet
They called her Mrs. Victoria
They didn't like her grandson so they showed her
They beat him up before an after school
To all the kids he was the fool of fools
[guitar solo]
His name was Johnny just like yours, a lonely boy he'd been
He knew his grandma was the reason why he had no friends
All the children hated her, they hated this young boy
He thought that he would kill her, he was ready to destroy
Her name was Mrs. Victoria
He stabbed her in the back, the blood poured from her
Now Johnny lives alone, he has no problems or no pain
Inside an asylum, for the insane.
2. Aliens
+++++++++
through pioneer 10 and voyager 1
we've launched our knowledge to other suns
aspiring and reaching for the highest of beings
we've lost our search for the world's basic needs
the aliens - inside our machines!
the aliens - inside our dreams!
the aliens are here!
through fiction and lies we gaze at the skies
for flying saucers and men with three eyes
creating those monsters we seek to destroy
like children at play smashing their toys!
the aliens - controlling our spheres!
the aliens - so far yet so near!
all mths of men and gods will apply
when sanity and reason begin to die
the dragons you've denied and wish to slay
may rise to conquer us all someday!
the aliens - the message is clear!
the aliens - the aliens are here!
3. Child of the damned
++++++++++++++++++++++
you made me see right past myself
well beyond my fears
realized i'm synchronized
far beyond my years
i'm so geared into them
i serve unto their souls
now that i'm addicted
my hunger only grows
i'm a child of the damned
i follow where i go
rigging to the cross
as holy as a whore!
i'm just a child of the damned
witches' coven the time is come
for those sabbatical years
revelation is the message
for all in all to hear
prophets slayed mankind arrayed
into a mass submission
evil's here and the lord of hell
gives you the proposition!
i'm a child of the damned
i follow where i go
rigging to the cross
as holy as a whore!
i'm just a child of the damned
give away your life's goals
your meaning and ambition
it means nothing to you
after all it's superstition!
do not be afraid
the world is near the end
is it better to rule in hell
than it is to serve in heaven?
i'm a child of the damned
i follow where i go
rigging to the cross
as holy as a whore!
i'm just a child of the damned
5. Lucifer's hammer
+++++++++++++++++++
it comes from the heavens
on a mission from hell!
a force of destruction
that nothing can repel!
a story is born that no one will live to tell
the obliteration of man
now encased in its shell!
at the push of a button
we all will go to hell!
who will be left to toll the funeral bell!
the hammer will fall on you!
devastation! destruction of all the nations!
annihilation! clouding of all the skies!
raise the dead from their graves
and throw in yourselves and hide!
save us! from ourselves!
6. Black mass
+++++++++++++
on the eve of tribulation
before the morrow's wrath
it was then then that the covens gathered
for the final black mass!
the moon it was full
and the time had come for us all
the sun it was gone
and the people awaited their call
the devil was there
with the fire burning in the air
the demons they danced
and drank from the chalice they shared
nobody cared!
now the evil of man
had passed by the act of lucifer's kiss
and the evil broke loose
from the tombs of hell's fiery abyss
the devil was there
with the fire burning in the air
the demons they danced
and drank from the chalice they shared
now the prince knelt down
for communion of the time that he fast
and the father he blessed
his child with the blood of the black mass!
black mass!
7. Lost and lonely days
+++++++++++++++++++++++
she came to me i thought i found her
the girl of all my dreams
and until then i did not know what
happiness could bring
we laughed we cried side by side
the summers turned to years
but winter came the skies have greyed
from happiness to tears
she said she would never leave me
never let me go
but now she's left with me this feeling
so sad and so alone
she went away i tried to find her
i cried aloud her name
i realized it was goodbye
the heartache and the pain
why did she go away and leave me with the heartache
why did she leave me with the pain
if i could tell her so i'd tell her that i love her
and all my dreams have gone away
these lost and lonely days
if you could feel the way i feel about you
hear the things i say
if you could see the way i am without you
these lost and lonely days
8. Soliloquy
++++++++++++
i feel the pain inside my heart
like a knife it tears me apart
my tears they shed i have no one
god! please tell me what i have done
i have no friends, no one who cares
nobody with love they can share
they laugh at me! i don't know why!
i lock the door and i cry!
i see myself i am a man
just like you and all of your friends
my heart so warm shattered like glass
don't know how much longer i can last
i have no friends, no one who cares
nobody with love they can share
they laugh at me! i don't know why!
i lock the door and i cry!
alone again! i'm alone again!
alone again! i'm alone again!
well that's how it will be 'til the end.
so when you die no one will care
i ask you do you think that it's fair?
soliloquy! well that's my plea
won't someone please believe in me?
i have no friends, no one who cares
nobody with love they can share
they laugh at me! i don't know why!
i lock the door and i cry!
alone again! i'm alone again!
alone again! i'm alone again!
well that's how it will be 'til the end.
9. Deliver us from evil
+++++++++++++++++++++++
deliver us from all the wicked
deliver us from the woe
free! these chains of hell
and now's the time to strike the final blow
one by one! to the swords! to the guns
two by two! and away we go
father and son! heed the words we pray
deliver us from evil this day
deliver us from evil today
deliver us from ill minded rulers
deliver us from all their talk
see all the evil and the greed
these people that seek what they've lost
one by one! to the swords! to the guns
two by two! and away we go
father and son! heed the words we pray
deliver us from evil this day
deliver us from evil today
prepare for the final awakening
prepare for the time it has come
look to the heavens! a crack in the sky
the ending of time has begun
and now all that you have is gone..
deliver us from all the hatred
deliver us from all the sin
and we who believe will eternally sing
these words in which we call the battle hymn!
one by one! to the swords! to the guns
two by two! and away we go
father and son! heed the words we pray
deliver us from evil this day
deliver us from evil today
