1. Rock the World


In these times
Of confusion and sin
We must redeem
Our human ways
This force that
Fights to live
Will fight
Till it dies
And rise again
To save the day
WE ALL
ROCK THE WORLD
WE ALL
ROCK THE WORLD
The power grows
To destroy
This flag of hate
That waves so
High in the air
We raise our fists
In rebellion we stand
Our hungry hearts
Set the snare
WE ALL
ROCK THE WORLD
WE ALL
ROCK THE WORLD
Ageless as time
Change is revealed
We will rock for you
WE ALL
ROCK THE WORLD
WE ALL
ROCK THE WORLD



2. Power Metal


You say you want it loud
IŽll never turn it down
You want to feel my power
Pound you in the ground
I want to give you fury
Blow your head apart
IŽll leave you comatose
From the very start
You say you want some metal
IŽll give you all IŽve got
My deadly grasp is lethal
This force will never stop
POWER METAL
ROCK FOREVER
POWER METAL
ON FOREVER
I am the metal beast
The battle dog I deal
My soul was spawned in hell
My body coiled steel
Put on this earth to
Melt it down to the core
IŽll make you feel such pain
YouŽre cominŽ back for more
You say you want some Metal
IŽll give you all IŽve got
My deadly grasp is lethal
This force will never stop
POWER METAL
ROCK FOREVER
POWER METAL
ON FOREVE



3. WeŽll Meet Again


I walk the
Streets of darkness
Where hell awaits
Guarded by the mystery
Just beyond the gates
Searching for the answer
Every man must find
Before eternity beckons
I will make you mine
GOODBYE MYSTERY
GOODBYE PAIN
GOODBYE LOVE
WEŽLL MEET AGAIN
In another lifetime
SheŽll take another man
SheŽs left me here to die
Its killing me again
GOODBYE MYSTERY
GOODBYE PAIN
GOODBYE LOVE
WEŽLL MEET AGAIN



4. Over and Out


Slaving for eternity
Aiming for construction
Wreckless crew abandon me
Bringing on destruction
Primal needs
Annoying ways
INCAPACITATION
A legacy of submankind
Who seem to rule this nation
Out of touch with your life
CanŽ t you see the signs
For me to know
Can you find out
Read betwen the lines
NO WAY OUT
When the cat goes away
OVER AND OUT
The mice come out and play
Unrelentless trilogy
Asking to accept them
Tempers flare
Screams are heard
To uphold the profession
Time and time and times again
I will not play your game
I ask you once a billion times
To keep your life the same
NO WAY OUT
When the cat goes away
OVER AND OUT
The mice come out and play
NO WAY OUT
The price that you must pay
OVER AND OUT
Every dog has its day



5. Proud To Be Loud


Listen up good
I got a lot to say
I know what I want
And I get my own way
I call Žem as I see Žem
I donŽt play by the book
One dose of volume
ThatŽs all it took
IŽve seen it, IŽve done it
IŽve heard it before
Now itŽs my turn
To settle the score
IŽll sing it, IŽll shout it
IŽll say it again
I donŽt care if they
Never give in cause IŽm
PROUD TO BE LOUD
PROUD TO BE LOUD
YOU KNOW IŽM PROUD
PROUD TO BE LOUD
Well IŽve alway believed
In freedom of speech
And iŽve always been the one
Who practiced what I preached
LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT
IŽll give you the choice
But itŽll snow in hell
Before I lower my voice
I live it, I breathe it
I gotta have more
ItŽs full blast
And this means war
The power, the glory
Its callinŽ my name
I wonŽt start to
Play their game cause IŽm
PROUD TO BE LOUD
PROUD TO BE LOUD
IŽM PROUD TO BE LOUD
AND IŽLL NEVER
TURN IT DOWN AGAIN NO
PROUD TO BE LOUD
PROUD TO BE LOUD
IŽM PROUD,
PROUD TO BE LOUD



6. Down Below


People runninŽ
In the street
LookinŽ for some
Meat to eat
Its in your
Dirty magazines
All across your
TV screens
Midnight Riders
In the street
Feel the fire
Catch the heat
YOU BETTER GO
DOWN BELOW
YOU BETTER GO
DOWN BELOW

See the ladies
Of the night
Built for speed
To my delight
I steal them
In my limousine
Hear them shout
Hear them scream
Its a dirty job
But somebodyŽs gotta do it
Scream



7. Death Trap


I see you runninŽ
YouŽre gone
A million miles away
But you know IŽm cominŽ
Violence that
Blows you into space
And you think
YouŽre gonna get away
Like you did before
But youŽre the type
I never feel sorry for, so
FALL INTO MY DEATH TRAP
FALL INTO MY DEATH TRAP
LifeŽs paranoia
YouŽre hiding in
The dark all day
At nite I call you
Cause I know
YouŽre always wide awake
So you never
Sleep at all at nite
Extermination
Of youŽre wasted life
So now IŽve got you
YouŽre cornered like a fool
I terminate you
Live by my golden rule
Task complete
And once again IŽve won
Now I search
For another victim to come
I canŽt explain the sheer
Thrill of it all
Its such a chill
To watch the meek just fall
DEATH TRAP
DEATH TRAP
FALL IN



8. Hard Ride


YouŽre in the danger zone
You canŽt be left alone
Your heart is
In this for the ride
But when it comes down to it
You spoke your mind and you blew it
I want you when I want
And still I hear you say
HARD RIDE WITH ME
Its a matter of time before
You fall down on your knees
HARD RIDE STAY FREE
Its a matter of time
Žfore its too late
The pressureŽs building up
You feel youŽve had enough
So go now
AWAY
IŽll lay it on the table
YouŽre feelinŽ so unstable
I want to love you
But you seem so far away

And I donŽt even know your name
I just want to throw you away



9. Burnnn


We want to live our life
Forever each day
To burn your candle
At both ends
Mach 10 velocity
Not slowing down at all
Your metal heart
Just never bends
OOOOOOO
DonŽt stop to
Wait for life just
BURN it to the ground
BURN
ITS TIME TO SWEAT
HAVE NO REGRET
JUST BURN IT DOWN
BURN
ALL YOUŽRE LIVINŽ FOR
IS THE GLORY IN YOUR HEART
LIVE HARD, DIE GREAT
BURN IT DOWN
