1. Fight Fire With Fire
Do unto others as they have done unto you But what in 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 is 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
2. Ride The Lightning
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 flame
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 am I doing here?
Flash before my eyes Now it's time to die Burning in my brain I can feel the flame
Someone help me Oh please, God help me They are 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 horrid scream Freed from this frightening dream
Flash before my eyes Now it's time to die Burning in my brain I can feel the flame
3. For Whom The Bell Tolls
Make his fight on the hills in the early day Constant chill deep inside Shouting gun on they run through the endless gray On they fight for their right, yes, but who's to say?
For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know [Incomprehensible] wounds test their pride Men of five, still alive through the raging glow Gone insane from the pain and they surely know
For whom the bell tolls Time marches on For whom the bell tolls
Take a look to the sky just before you die It is the last time he will Blackened roar, massive roar fills the crumbling sky Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery He hears the silence so loud Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be Now they see what will be blinded eyes to see
For whom the bell tolls Time marches on For whom the bell tolls
4. Fade To Black
Life it seems, will fade away Drifting further every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free
Things are not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly lost, this cant be real Cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness taking dawn I was me, but now hes gone
No one but me can save myself, but its too late
Now I cant think, think why I should even try Yesterday seems as though it never existed Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye
5. Trapped Under Ice
I don't know how to live through this hell Woken up, I'm still locked in this shell Frozen soul, frozen down to the core Break the ice, I can't take anymore
Freezing Can't move at all Screaming Can't hear my call I am dying to live Cry out I'm trapped under ice
Crystallized, as I lay here and rest Eyes of glass stare directly at death From deep sleep I have broken away No one knows, no one hears what I say
Freezing Can't move at all Screaming Can't hear my call I am dying to live Cry out I'm trapped under ice
Scream, from my soul Fate, mystified Hell, forever more
No release from my cryonics state What is this?, I've been stricken by fate Wrapped up tight, cannot move, can't break free Hand of doom has a tight grip on me
Freezing Can't move at all Screaming Can't hear my call I am dying to live Cry out I'm trapped under ice
6. Escape
Feel no pain, but my life ain't easy I know I'm my best friend No one cares, but I'm so much stronger I'll fight until the end
To escape from the true false world Undamaged destiny Can't get caught in the endless circle Ring of stupidity
Out for my own, out to be free One with my mind, they just can't see No need to hear things that they say Life's for my own, to live my own way
Rape my mind and destroy my feelings Don't tell me what to do I don't care now 'cause I'm on my side And I can see through you
Feed my brain with your so-called standards Who says that I ain't right? Break away from your common fashion See through your blurry sight
Out for my own, out to be free One with my mind, they just can't see No need to hear things that they say Life's for my own, to live my own way
See them try to bring the hammer down No damn chains can hold me to the ground
Life's for my own, to live my own way
7. Creeping Death
Slaves Hebrews born to serve, to the pharaoh Heed To his every word, live in fear Faith Of the unknown one, the deliverer Wait Something must be done, four hundred years
So let it be written So let it be done I'm sent here by the chosen one So let it be written So let it be done To kill the first born pharaoh son I'm creeping death
Now Let my people go, land of Goshen Go I will be with thee, bush of fire Blood Running red and strong, down the Nile Plague Darkness three days long, hail to fire
So let it be written So let it be done I'm sent here by the chosen one So let it be written So let it be done To kill the first born pharaoh son I'm creeping death
Die by my hand I creep across the land Killing first-born man
Die by my hand I creep across the land Killing first-born man
I Rule the midnight air, the destroyer Born I shall soon be there, deadly mass I Creep the steps and floor, final darkness Blood Lamb's blood, painted door, I shall pass
So let it be written So let it be done I'm sent here by the chosen one So let it be written So let it be done To kill the first born pharaoh son I'm creeping death
