1. HeadBanging Man
++++++++++++++++++
Dressed in leather, dressed in chains
Full of agression, full of pains
Stage is open, light comes up
Metal kids go mad
Count - down is on for the band
Drunken women, drunken men
Show their hands forfucking arse
They bang their heads
He's a man, he's a kid
Wanna bang with you
Headbanging man
He's man, he's a kid
Wanna bang with you
Headbanging man
Metal music blows your heads
And metal maniacs bang to death
The air roars like a machine gun
Banging devils on the run
The show is over, kids are gone
And fucking people lay alone
Drun too much, they're falling down
It's a headbanging crown
*
He's a man, he's a kid
Wanna bang with you
Headbanging man
He's a man, he's a kid
Wanna bang with you
Headbanging with you
Headbanging man

2. Heavy Metal Breakdown
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Metal invasion that's all what we need
Metal dominion that's all what we want
We come to give you rules and principles
what you have to do
We come to shake your hands and legs
as fast as we can do
*
Heavy Metal Breakdown  x 4
Women and children want to hear the noise
Women and children want to feel the beat
Bang your heads as fast as you can
until you're breaking down
The night is long, the show is right
bang until you die
*
(guitar solo)

** x 2
Heavey Metal Breakdown
shake your legs and bang your heads
Heavey Metal Breakdown


3. Back From The War
++++++++++++++++++++
Bloody legs and bloody hands
Bloody necks and bloody heads
A smell of sulphur lays over me
A smell of mould also too
What I see, I know it's true
A battlefield, strewed with dead bodies
Awful sight, please give me peace
Deliver me from evil's work
Is it a dream or is it real
Is it illusion or reality
I'm a man
Not an armed murderer
I must leave this state of terror
I must run far, far away
Please hear my call, I must leave now
I tell no lies that's not a joke
*
Back from the war
Lay down to the ground
Back from the war
Lay down to the grount
You don't believe, so march to fight
You're gonna die like the other men
I'm a man
Not a devil's soldier
I'm a man
Not an armed murderer
I must leave this state of terror
I must run far, far away
Please let us live, live without war
Please keep the peace, the peace of the world

4. Yesterday
++++++++++++
*
Yesterday, when you left me on my own
Yesterday, when you left my heart alone
Yesterday, no, yesterday, no no
Yesterday, when your love was very true
Yesterday, when we knew what to do
Yesterday, no, yesterday, no
Yesterday, in my mind it's still alive
Yesterday, when we were husband and wife
Yesterday, no, yesterday, no
Yesterday, yesterday
yesterday, yesterday
Yesterday, no, yesterday, no
(guitar solo)
>>go to *
No - no - no - no
No - no - no - no
Yesterday, no, yesterday, no
Yesterday


5. We Wanna Rock you
++++++++++++++++++++
We wanna rock you
We wanna roll you
We ...
Back to stage, we return born again
New and four, here we are, we come to rock
Watch out, watch out
What you feel is it real
We Are back now
Watch out, watch out
Waht you feel is it real
We are back now
See the kids, hot for rock, hot for us
We make the show, now for you, heavy metal
Watch out, watch out
What you feel is it real
We are back now
Watch out, watch out
What you feel is it real
We are back now
*
We wanna rock you
We wanna roll you
We wanna rock you
We wanna roll you
Evey night
Sweat runs fast, on both sides, all are wet
Now you know, the shoe was good, heavy metal
Watch out, watch out
What you feel is it real
We are back now
Watch out, watch out
What you feel is it real
We are back now

6. Legion of The Lost
+++++++++++++++++++++
The gates of hell are open
The night of the wolf is broken
The signs of madness are shining
The sun of devil is rising
*
They're marchng through the night
they're searching for bread
They're infected with plague
they're infected with death
They know they have to die
and the end is a grave
They shout into the dark
it's a cry in the night
Marching for freedom, marching for life
Searching for love
but they don't wanna die
Don't walk to heaven, don't walk to hell
There's no escape for the legion
of the lost, legion of the lost
Legion of the lost, legion of the lost
They're marching on and on
there's no place to hide
They're living in fear, oh god can't you see
Their eyes are full of tears, they've started to run
Now they reach the end, the end of the way
Marching for freedom marching for life ...
(guitar solo)
Marching for freedom marching for life ...
*
Marching for freedom marchin for live ...
The legion of the lost


7. Tyrant
+++++++++
Lost horizons everywhere
the sun is grey and dark
A coach runs through the shattered night
without a tone
Four winds howl into the night
it's cold and wet
Horses, black and danerous
horror runs my blood
*
Tyrant
The beast, comes to kill us
The beast, comes to kill us
The beast, comes to kill us
The beast, comes to ...
Magic world's around my soul
desaster's burning high
He's the son of heaven's devil
he's the arm of death
Don't look back, don't look back
you can lose your life
Tyrant sees every step, every step you make
*
(guitar solo)
*
Tyrant
Tyrant!

9. Heart Attack
+++++++++++++++
Shape your eyes and watch them burn
there's always fire 'round the night
I want to grown into yourself
Wiping out the wise below
watch you change into a star
I want to gaze into a mirror
Shape your eyes and watch them burn
there's always fire 'round the night
Always fire where you're going to
Heart attack, heart attack
heart attack, heart attack
Watch your eyes and watch them burn
fire's always 'round with you
I want to grow into your soul
Shape your eyes and watch them burn
there's always fire 'round the night
I want to crawl into a mirror
Wipeing out the wise below
what you know it's you're alonw
I remember everybody, too
Heart attack x4
(guitar solo)
