The Choice

You thought that you had the power

You thought you knew the way
Temptation gave you everything
And nothing could take it away

Vanity and pride, now you pay the price

Your legacy remains, the ashes of your life

Love or hate, peace or war

Life or death, the choice is yours

Lies just seem to surround you

Deception you practice each day
Caught in delusions of grandeur
Watching it all fade away

Vanity and pride, now you pay the price

Your legacy remains, the ashes of your life

Love or hate, peace or war

Life or death, the choice was yours

Sold your soul and you turned away

Now there's nothing left for you to say

All your talents are borrowed

But no one will call you a thief
You left a trail of destruction
Sorrow betrayal and grief

Love or hate, peace or war

Life or death, the choice was yours

Sold your soul and you turned away

Now there's nothing left for you to say
 Yeah you sold your soul and you turned away
You crossed the line, now it's way too late

The Hammer Will Fall

Vigilante man walks the street at night

Waiting on the dark side of town
His eyes are everywhere, he hears every sound
There ain't nothin' that he doesn't see
It was a desperate situation as the darkness closed in
I felt the sweat trickle down off my chin
When your feelin the pull
ya' gotta fight like a bull
Or everybody's gonna drag ya' on in

Demanding justice the meek seek their revenge

Vanquishing the wicked they have no regrets

The hammer will fall

The blood will make us free
The hammer will fall
The masses will rise again

He knows the difference between right and wrong

He only feeds on the dead
He's got his righteous anger he is known and feared
Death is all that he's got to give

So I hit the floor killing three or four

Shooting bullets fast as I can
Vengeance is mine sayeth the lord
and I'm his right hand man

Demanding justice the meek seek their revenge

Vanquishing the wicked they have no regrets

The hammer will fall

The blood will make us free
The hammer will fall
The masses will rise again
The hammer will fall
The dead will live forever
 The hammer will fall
The blind will see again

Shining in his glory the world must repent

Sanctioned by a greater power...
Destruction will rain down on the face of the earth

The hammer will fall

The blood will make us free
The hammer will fall
The masses will rise again
The hammer will fall
The dead will live forever
The hammer will fall
The blind will see again

Demanding justice the meek seek their revenge

Vanquishing the wicked they have no regrets

Soos Creek Cemetary

Soos creek cemetary late at night

The tombstones glowed with an eerie light
The moon was full as the fog rolled in
We were sleeping on a shack that was made out of tin
Something’s going on I said to one of my friends
This was a long time ago I mean way back then
I'll never forget what he said to me
With a twisted laugh and a goulish glee

Don't close your eyes or you will die

There’s no place left for you to hide

Don't you know that evil is real

A Presence here that only you can feel
Darkness tries to crush the light
If crippled by fear you will lose the fight

These things in the fog they were evil I could tell

Like laughter from the devil in the bowels of hell
Voices getting louder as they filled my head
And I knew in my heart that we'd soon be dead
 Don't close your eyes or you will die
There’s no place left for you to hide

Don't you know that evil is real

A Presence here that only you can feel
Darkness tries to crush the light
If crippled by fear you will lose the fight

Don't close your eyes or you will die

There’s no place left for you to hide

Don't you know that evil is real

A Presence here that only you can feel
Darkness tries to crush the light
If crippled by fear you will lose the fight

Hannibal

(The silence of the lamb)

I am one with those I take, their spirits live in me

I watch and wait and I know just when
It's home their gonna be
I am all the afterbirth, the part that no one wants
So strap me in your padded cell
Or I'll eat your body parts

I am a child of our society

Killing the weak makes sense to me
I am becoming - I am becoming

Those of you who think your smart

And try to pick my brain
I'll crawl inside your tiny head, making you insane
So stay at home, don't follow me
Your death would be a shame
Cause when you find the next one dead
You'll know just who to blame

I am a child of our society

Killing the weak makes sense to me
 I am becoming - I am becoming

I am a child of our society

Killing the weak makes sense to me
I am becoming - I am becoming

Burning At The Stake

In 1410 it was written then

The Smithfield fires burned so hot
The saints were led as the bodies bled
To a place where they knew they'd be free
Through the years and with all the fears
Kingdoms rose and then would fall
Caesar’s turn still the martyr's burned
As the pious would all heed the call

I will not kneel or confess to a lie

Standing for truth on this day I will die
Burning at the stake - Falsely accused

Burning at the stake - Burning at the stake

Flames are burning high

'45 the believers died as Stalin burned the country's face

Hitler proved he could remove 6 million just because of their race
We make the pleas of the century
Cause the fires are still burning hot
At your best could you stand the test
Of living in a prison til you rot?

I will not kneel or confess to a lie

Standing for truth on this day I will die
Burning at the stake - Falsely accused

Burning at the stake - Burning at the stake

Flames are burning high

It is true, and I'm telling you

Lies travel faster than the truth
The world is wrong and it won't be long
Til the devil asks ya' who you're gonna' choose
It's still this way, each and every day
Thousands die for their faith
In your hearts desire could you take the fire
And face your final fate

Burning at the stake - Burning at the stake

Flames are burning high

D.S.D.

Deep in the land there is darkness

The thing that is there has conceived
Stephen and James were the first to die
Killed for the way they believed

Judgement day will come and you will bow down

All the dead will rise, the angels will cry

Die Satan Die

Die Satan Die

Pestilence, famine and blood wars

everyone loses there mind
Ripping the flesh off the holy
It's just a matter of time

Judgement day will come and you will bow down

All the dead will rise, the angels will cry

Die Satan Die

Die Satan Die

Torture so evil and cunning

The devil himself would be proud
Killing the innocent children
Their blood will cry out from the ground

Judgement day will come and you will bow down

All the dead will rise, the angels will cry

Die Satan Die

 Die Satan Die

Nightmare (Part II)

Danger, terror from out in the night

Shadows closing coming for my life
How could this have happened into misery
Locked inside a nightmare and no one has the key

It happened on a Friday
As I lay awake in bed
This spirit in the forest
Racing straight for my head
Blackness - Darkness - Madness
You can't know the fear

Voices louder ringing in my ears

Thought it was the radio (things been dead for years)
I can' stand it anymore make it go away
Imagine if you will of knowing you're the prey

It happened on a Friday
As I lay awake in bed
This spirit in the forest
Racing straight for my head
Blackness - Darkness - Madness
You can't know the fear

Locked inside a nightmare

Locked inside a nightmare

Pain is falling from the sky, you know you must forget
Vile recollections of unholy black regret
Paralyzed you can't move, just breathing is a choice
Impossible to stop, it can slip beneath a door

Locked inside a nightmare...

Vlad
 He lived before, He'll live again
His thirst for blood will never end
In a land far away, in a time long ago
In a castle that stood dark and cold

He's flying overhead, his sad wings beat the night

Stronger than a thousand men
but must avoid the light

Break these chains

Drive a stake through my heart
Set me free
Drive a stake through my heart

I am damned, never free, a prisoner of fate

This lust for blood consuming me
as I lay down in my grave

He's flying overhead, his sad wings beat the night

Stronger than a thousand men
but must avoid the light

Break these chains

Drive a stake through my heart
Set me free
Drive a stake through my heart

Across the threshold there is no end

From the grave I rise again

Break these chains

Drive a stake through my heart
Set me free
Drive a stake through my heart

Ballad For Marianne

It’s written somewhere in the corners of my mind

Never let the moon come and take me soon
When the days just pass me by
I sit and wonder staring at the sea
Why I'm standing here holding back the tears
 Under grey and broken skies
My heart is breaking
There is nothing left to say
Oh how can I end this pain

Take this pain away

Can't live another day

Everyday it's the same old thing

I’m walking in the rain
I can see your face but I can't erase the love you left behind
Why you chose to take your life and end it on that day
Marianne I can't understand why you had to turn away
This place you've gone to there ain't no going back
You left me here alone

Take this pain away

Can't live another day

Our son is weeping as we stand here by your grave

Ain't it sad and you know it’s bad to remember you this way
Life can sometimes be so cruel
But we must carry on
The morning star
You know it's never far
But you could never see
If I could have just one more wish
I'd hold you once again, oh hold you once again

Take this pain away

Can't live another day

Mississippi Queen

Mississippi queen
You know what I mean
Mississippi queen
She taught me everything

Down around Vicksburg

Down Louisiana Way
Lived a Cajun lady
 Called the Mississippi queen
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine

While the rest of them dudes was a gettin their kicks

Buddy beg your pardon I was gettin mine

Mississippi queen
You know what I mean
Mississippi queen
She taught me everything

This lady asked me if I could be her man

You know I done told her I do what I can
To keep her lookin pretty, buy her dresses that shine

While the rest of them dudes was a gettin their kicks

Buddy beg your pardon I was gettin mine

Mississippi queen
You know what I mean
Mississippi queen
She taught me everything

Down around Vicksburg

Down Louisiana Way
Lived a Cajun lady
Called the Mississippi queen
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine

While the rest of them dudes was a gettin their kicks

Buddy beg your pardon I was gettin mine
