1. Before The Devil Knows You're Dead

[Instrumental]

2. Riding The Eagle

Countless miles he carried me

Crossed mountains and the seas
Roaring on I got a mission to complete

Metal fighter, shining brighter

Flying high as we cross the sky

High on those wings
Riding the eagle
High as we cross the sky
Taking the world we'll fly
 We travelled through the universe
Supersonic without fear
They tell a tail of an eagle flyin' free

Metal fighter, shining brighter

Flying high as we cross the sky

High on those wings
Riding the eagle
High as we cross the sky
Taking the world we'll fly

[Solo]

Flying high as we cross the sky

High on those wings
Riding the eagle
High as we cross the sky
Taking the world we'll fly
High on those wings
Riding the eagle

3. Six Times Dead (16.6)

Yes we're alive - with seven lives

Not forever 'cause forever is a lie
Not crucify keep your coffin nails
All these obvious lies have failed

We don't know
What you've been told
We will show you

16.6 all over this world

16.6 it's true what you've heard
Six times dead and we're back on the track again

16.6 all over this world

We're back from Hell by a sixth rebirth
Breaking them bones and sticks
With 16.6
16.6
 No sacrament - no sacrilege
Has brought us back from this awful place
One more minute - control the pain
Hear you breath and go entirely insane

We don't know
What you've been told
We will show you

16.6 all over this world

16.6 it's true what you've heard
Six times dead and we're back on the track again

16.6 all over this world

We're back from Hell by a sixth rebirth
Breaking the bones and sticks
With 16.6
16.6

4. Black Rain

As I watched the rising sun

A walking shadow on the run
There's no hope and there's no anger, I'm defenseless
I stand alone out in the cold
Ten more miles on desert sand
The Earth still shakes - I hear tank shells explode

Is it just a dead memory

Stranded in the thirty third latitude degree
A few words of truth could never lie
Who will kill me - I'm a refuge alive

In and out - I watch the sky explode

Enough - our mission's sold
The flushing black rain kills is all
In and out - I watch the sky explode
Enough - our mission's sold
Even if the black rain kills us all

As men of honor and belief

We never knew our enemies
 There's no reason that's worth dying for
As I hear the silence brake
A so called fight, a big mistake
Or was it just to see another thousand die

Under friendly fire of our own crew

Another day will never come true

In and out - I watch the sky explode

Enough - our mission's sold
The flushing black rain kills us all
In and out - I watch the sky explode
Enough - our mission's sold
Even if the black rain kills us all

5. Under The Radar

May lightning strike me

As I roam the blood red skies
I wear no armor, no disguise
Fearless fighter
I'm coming around the bend
My heart's my weapon, my defense

Strike like the lightning

Out of the dark
Right out of frozen skies
Into your heart

Racing the ages

I'm bending time and space
Under the radar I will race
Say your prayers
To a hero on parole
No one was ever in control

Strike like the lightning

Chasing the storm
Where ever thunder's rolling
I'm coming home
Strike like the lightning
Under the radar
 [Solo]

Strike like the lightning

Chasing the storm
Where ever thunder's rolling
I'm coming home
Under the radar
Out of the dark
Right out of frozen skies
Into your heart

As I roam the blood red skies

I wear no armor, no disguise
I'm a fearless fighter

6. 5.0 / Torn

Destiny, no question where I've been

Where's the sense My view is getting cold as ice
Living sin, a look an evil grin
You cheat and win
Danger and humans to the bomb

Religions are walking to the war

Sacred human rights
I highly doubt the prophecy
Egos torn apart

And when the sun will never rise

The pain grows deep inside you
Give me your hand and let us
Leave the world behind the curtain
Is there's a future is there not
We never lose our courage
I'm not afraid, that we will
Break the chains of lies and promises

Faded the past even lost memories

I saw their treasure burn
Just wanna live without concerns

There's always a risk in good and bad

Pressure and lost control
 I go a silent, lonely way
Egos torn apart

And when the sun will never rise

The pain grows deep inside you
Give me your hand and let us
Leave the world behind the curtain
Is there's a future is there not
We never lose our courage
I'm not afraid, that we will
Break the chains of lies and promises

"Is there anybody out there who cares about

What we're doing to our world?
I don't think our children ever understand
What we have done to this planet! It's time to react NOW!"

[Solo]

Religions are walking to the war

Sacred human rights
I highly doubt the prophecy
Egos torn apart

And when the sun will never rise

The pain grows deep inside you
Give me your hand and let us
Leave the world behind the curtain
Is there's a future is there not
We never lose our courage
I'm not afraid, that we will
Break the chains of lies and promises

7. Soar

Let me live and let me breath

Even if my anger seethes
And I have learn... my lesson well
Never again, never again
I will hear them scream "amen"
No solution, all system's failed

Hammer is rising, march off to war

 No compromising
Spread your wings and soar

Full emotion, dark devotion

Here's the second law of motion
Don't be scared to fly alone
It's my fate to put it straight
The heartless monster will create
2012 and 16.6.

Hammer is rising, march off to war

No compromising
Spread your wings and soar

Annihilation - radiation
A warning sign for every nation
But I'm not dead and gone
Never again, never again
Goodbye and prayer failed
Your final hour... the end is done

Hammer is rising, march off to war

No compromising
Spread your wings and soar

Hammer is rising, march off to war

No compromising
Spread your wings and soar

8. Killbound

Ever since I was born I was different to the others

No one ever like my company
Virtual thrills feed my hunger
Six six six is an admissible number

Hello - here I go - got my six gun loaded

Anytime - anyplace - I pull the trigger on the way

I'm killbound
Killbound - A crossed viper
Killbound
I'll take no prisoners
 The Cops to the left - the killers to the right
I am ready to take every fight

Hello - here I go - got my six gun loaded

Anytime - anyplace - I pull the trigger on the way

I'm killbound
Killbound - A crossed viper
Killbound
I'll take no prisoners *2

Ain't no fear in the heart of a killer

There's no way to stop this thriller

Hello - here I go - got my six gun loaded

Anytime - anyplace - I pull the trigger on the way

I'm killbound
Killbound - A crossed viper
Killbound
I'll take no prisoners
I'm killbound
Killbound - A crossed viper
Killbound
I'll take no prisoners / Killbound

9. No Smoke Without Fire

4 A.M. - I couldn't sleep tonight at all

Just lay awake
Once again I made a very big mistake
And turned away
Just wait a minute - I can't take no more
It's cloak and dagger as you slam the door
I fight my demons - I risk it all
I can't believe it

You fire my fate - I opened the gate

Things were better left unsaid
As I crossed the line
There's no smoke without a fire
No smoke without a fire
 My one way street
There's no fire without a flame
Not one word spoken
Don't lie to me
'Cause you can't try to break
What's already broken

Where's the fallen angel - take me out of hell

My anger's rising and I feel your spell
I fight my demons and I risk it all
You don't hurt me no more

You fire my fate - I opened the gate

Things were better left unsaid
As I crossed the line
There's no smoke without a fire
No smoke without a fire

No smoke, no smoke without fire

A promise was made to be broken

It looks like I'm losing the fight

10. Night After Night

Can't get rid of this taste of blood

Can't erase the face that hunts me
A call from the shadows below
A serenade of haunting voices

Someone is digging my grave

Waiting for my body to arrive
My soul will burn alive
My blood is cold as ice

Night after night

I hear them calling from the dark without light
Fight after fight
I keep on falling, deeper and deeper below
To the world that I don't wanna know
Life after life
 The darkness will fall again
Chased by the dead and the lonely
I know that's my own devour
The evil inside growing stronger

Someone is digging my grave

Waiting for my body to arrive
But my soul will burn alive
My blood is cold as ice

Night after night

I hear them calling from the dark without light
Fight after fight
I keep on falling, deeper and deeper below
To the world that I don't wanna know
Life after life

Won't fall asleep, I will stay you to light

It's not the right time - for your devastation
Your evil mind defying the curse
Won't let go

Night after night

I hear them calling from the dark without light
Fight after fight
I keep on falling, deeper and deeper below
To the world that I don't wanna know
Life after life

11. Smith & Wesson

You've turned your back on me

And left me alone
I saw this house, so high
- Will it take me to the sky
Another life, another soul
Taken by yourself esteem
16.6 floors to realize my dream

There was just one more way

And the ice cold wind howled through the night
I heard a distant scream
I'd never believed the door extreme
 There's just a one way street
Without an exit for us all to leave
And here we stay and nothing more to say

Let me burn - burn me alive

Got a bullet with your name on it
Hits you straight between the eyes
Let me burn - burn me alive
Guess it's time to teach a lesson
Gonna pack my Smith & Wesson

Compensator - regulator - there's an open door

One way will lead to Heaven
On a 16.6 floor
Immortal eyes and dirty lies
Free me from my pain
Will there ever be a place where all remains

There was just one more way

And the ice cold wind howled through the night
I heard a distant scream
I'd never believed the door extreme
There's just a one way street
Without an exit for us all to leave
And here we stay and nothing more to say

Let me burn - burn me alive

Got a bullet with your name on it
Hits you straight between the eyes
Let me burn - burn me alive
Guess it's time to teach a lesson
Gonna pack my Smith & Wesson

12. The Exorcist

Drive the Devil out of me

My soul is cryin' for liberty
Demon blood runs through my veins
The Beast will have no mercy can't you see

My nature is oppressed by sin

The incarnated pest within
Satan's curse hangs over me
 Water vaporizes at my skin

There's only one who can see

The evil beast inside me
Only the cross heals my heart
I need to see:

The Exorcist
Come take the fight with the beast
Demons no longer resist
Smoking a pipe with the priest
I want to break free

The Exorcist
The Exorcist

Strapped and gagged into my bed

An iron crown upon my head
Finger scratch upon the wall
Maggots on my skin - my eyes are red

A trident sign adorns my skin

Angels came and carved it in
Dr. Demon on his rounds
Sister pain says: let the show begin

There's only one who can see

The evil beast inside me
Only the cross heals my heart
I need to see:

The Exorcist
Come take the fight with the beast
Demons no longer resist
Smoking a pipe with the priest
I want to break free

13. Hands Of Time

[Magnus]
The hands of time are moving on
Didn't know it's been so long
Clocks are ticking time away
 I'm sad to say

[Mat]
So tired of waking up from this dream
I'm wishing that it would go on
Though I know it could be wrong
I keep holding on forever
When seconds turn into eternity
And screams become a sigh
The rain is my only friend
So unpredictable and yet so destined
For loose it in the end

[Henny]
The hands of time are movin' on
Didn't know it's been so long
Clocks are ticking time away
It's sad to say

[Mat]
It's hard to say, I love someone
It's even harder that we're done
Now I've got nothing left to lose
My lost soul and except what I have on

[Mat/Henny]
The hands of time are movin' on
Didn't know it's been so long
Clocks are ticking time away
It's sad to say

The hands of time are movin' on

Didn't know it's been so long
Clocks are ticking time away
It's sad to say

[Ralf]
Time is running, Time is running out
Time is running and takes the time away

[Mat]
Who was right and who was wrong
Who was cool and who was strong
When all colors turn to grey
When silence speaks louder than words
My sins are washed away

[Magnus / Mat / Henny]

The hands of time are movin' on
Didn't know it's been so long
Clocks are ticking time away
It's sad to say
The hands of time are movin' on
Didn't know it's been so long
Clocks are ticking time away
It's sad to say

[Ralf]
Time is running, time is running out
Time is running and takes the time away
Time is running, time is running out
Time is running and takes the time away

[Mat]
So tired of waking up from this dream
I wishing that it would go on
Though I know I could be wrong
I keep holding on forever
