  Razor Eater

You're being of the darkest descent. You don't belong anywhere.

You're always hungry, but never content. All of your sins, you could never bear.

Now you're feeling good. But you're really dead. And you're wearing make up and perfume.

In the gallows you were hung. But now I see you walk instead.

Razor eater. He'll never ever die.

Razor eater. He'll never ever die.

Well you kept your secrets. And locked them up. Then drained their blood. As you read your books.

See the show and drink from your cup. And then hang your darlings. From the hooks.

Slice them up, no one will ever know. But still you smell that smell.

And now you're dead since long ago. You better burn in hell.

Razor eater. He'll never ever die.

Razor eater. He'll never ever die.

(Guitar Solo)

Razor eater.

Razor eater.

Razor eater.

  Rise Up

You know I have seen the dark side. But evil is not my friend.

And you know I'll die trying. Keep on trying to the end.

You know I'm superstitious. But the devil never pays.

My victory is delicious. When you fall, fall from grace.

My holy sacrifice. It's time for me to rise. The demons chained me down.

It's time to rise.

Rise up. Rise up. Rise. Rise up.

I have had my share of fighting. But I still could fight some more.

Now I can see the horizon. Much better than before.

What I've been giving all these years. My blood, my sweat, my tears. I'll carry on forever.

My holy sacrifice. It's time for me to rise. The demons chained me down. It's time to rise.

Rise up. Rise up. Rise up.

(Guitar Solo)

My holy sacrifice. It's time for me to rise. The demons chained me down.

What I've been giving all these years. My blood, my sweat, my tears. I'll carry on forever.

It's time to rise.

Rise up. Rise up. Rise up. Rise.

  Valley Of Kings

Now we're on the journey. Back into darker times.

Can you see the man made mountains. They were built for those divine.

We walk into the twilight. In the land of the dead.

When the gods walked the earth. In the city of a thousand gates. They were kings from birth. That was their given fate.

In the valley of kings. Where the echoes still ring. On the hot desert winds. In the valley of kings.

Their souls that are immortal. Within their after life.

Their soaring through the portal. To be eternal light.

They were ruling without mercy. Reigning life on earth.

When the gods walked the earth. In the city of a thousand gates. They were kings from birth. That was their given fate.

In the valley of kings. Where the echoes still ring. On the hot desert winds. In the valley of kings.

(Interlude/Guitar Solo)

When the gods walked the earth. In the city of a thousand gates. They were kings from birth. That was their given fate.

In the valley of kings. Where the echoes still ring. On the hot desert winds. In the valley of kings.

  Ship Of Fools

When the rats are bailing out. And you are just signing on.

Then you turned and walked away. There is no love lost here, my friend.

But you have made a great mistake. You ate the hook, the sink and bait. Now you can't get out. It's much too late.

The ship of fools keep sailing on. The ship of fools keep sailing on. And on and on and on.

But I can be merciless for sure. And you'll sail for many moons.

I can't believe you lost your mind. I'll watch you falling down, again.

You have been living in a dream. And I can hear the same old theme. But nothing's ever what it seems.

The ship of fools keep sailing on. The ship of fools keep sailing on. And on and on and on.

(Guitar Solo)

The truth is always hard to face. Especially when you are in that place. Like the ship of fools.

The ship of fools keep sailing on. The ship of fools keep sailing on. And on and on and on.

The ship of fools keep sailing on. The ship of fools keep sailing on. And on and on and on.

  Attack!!

(Intro Guitar Solo)

Living large, living free. Living the life that dreams are made of.

Dying proud, dying free. Dying the death of heroes.

But what you've done now. Makes me want to cry.

You keep on pushing. Well now you've pushed too far.

You must die now. You must die now.

Once we were free. Living in perfect harmony.

It's much too late. And now there's no turning back.

Attack!!

Attack!!

Attack!!

Out of the blue. Out of the sky. The world comes crashing down.

Now it's out of true. We've been blown sky high. And the king has lost his crown.

We must fearless. And be relentless.

Kill these insects. Show no mercy.

You must die now. You must die now.

Once we were free. Living in perfect harmony.

It's much too late. And now there's no turning back.

Attack!!

Attack!!

Attack!!

(Guitar Solo)

Once we were free. Living in perfect harmony.

It's much too late. And now there's no turning back.

Attack!!

  Stronghold

Alright. Alright.

You sacrificed. And worked all your life. But now you're bleeding, crying all for nothing. Nothing.

You waiting for that day. And you're always praying. For the gates to finally open. Open.

Into my stronghold. You will never take my stronghold. Yeah.

Well you can bring. And army's might. But I will always fight. Until the end. The end.

You can never break. Through my walls. And I'll never fall. What's mine I will defend. Defend.

Into my stronghold. You will never take my stronghold. And I will show you no mercy.

(Guitar Solo)

Into my stronghold. You will never take my stronghold. Yeah.

Into my stronghold. You will never take my stronghold.

Well don't believe. What you have heard. Just don't believe. A single word. Not a word.

Into my stronghold. You will never take my stronghold. Yeah. Never. No.

  Mad Dog

Ever since that day I met you. Well I just knew. You must be mad.

But that's okay. Cause I've been thinking. And I've had worse. It ain't that bad.

But now it has reached. Another level. A lesser man would be scared.

Live as you preach. And not as the devil. We're all the same. Breathing air.

Mad. Mad. Mad dog.

Mad, mad dog.

Mad dog.

Mad, mad dog.

Now it's too late. Much too late. To fix your problem. Your brain is dead.

You should have tried. To set it straight. Now you missed that boat. And that's what I always said.

You're mad. Mad. Mad dog.

Mad, mad dog.

Mad dog.

(Interlude/Guitar Solo)

Mad. Mad, mad dog.

Mad dog, mad dog.

Yeah. I'm gonna put you down, down.

  In The Name Of God

In the name of God.

We didn't know for sure. That evil is right outside our door.

And now all the bad and ugly. Showing their faces more.

So now we have got to work it out. And think with precision.

Make sure we make the right decision. In the name of God.

In the name of God.

In the name of God.

Together we're standing tall. Together we will never fall.

Together we're living free. And the truth is all for all to see.

But since we've all been blinded. Blinded by evil.

Now is the time to stand and fight. In the name of God.

In the name of God.

In the name of God.

(Interlude/Guitar Solo)

In the name of God.

In the name of God.

In the name of God.

In the name of God.

  Freedom Isn't Free

Yeah. You know what I'm talking about.

Yeah one more time. Here we go.

Come on down. Just let it loose. Let's paint the town. Now we sure have nothing to lose.

Feel the groove, wow. In the night, feel the groove. Come on baby, lets get it tight.

Alright. Freedom isn't free. No, no. Get it tight, oh.

Alright. You know what I'm talking about. Come on, watch out.

You've got it. Okay.

  Valhalla

Valhalla.

Valhalla.

Pick up your sword. Pick up your shield. And get your ass on to the battle field.

This hell on earth. That you call your life. We'll snuff it out. And you're gonna die.

We come from the north. We come from the ice. We live dangerously. And very short lives.

We fight day by day. Sailing the seas. We're natural born slayers.

We live by the sword. And die by the sword. We're never afraid.

And to drink with the gods. To be singing their songs. I raise my cup in valhalla.

To feast in their halls. And laugh with them all. I raise my cup in valhalla.

Valhalla. You live by the sword. You die by the sword.

The hammer of Thor. Beating you down. The thunder crashing. Through your door.

With the gods by our side. We follow the stars. As we're sailing into this holy war.

We come from the north. We come from the ice. We live dangerously. And very short lives.

We fight day by day. Sailing the seas. We're natural born slayers.

We live by the sword. And die by the sword. We're never afraid.

And to drink with the gods. To be singing their songs. I raise my cup in valhalla.

To feast in their halls. And laugh with them all. I raise my cup in valhalla.

Valhalla. You live by the sword. You die by the sword.

Valhalla. You live by the sword. You die by the sword.

(Interlude/Guitar Solo)

Valhalla.

Valhalla.

Valhalla.

We come from the north. We come from the ice. We live dangerously. And very short lives.

We fight day by day. Sailing the seas. We're natural born slayers.

We live by the sword. And die by the sword. We're never afraid.

And to drink with the gods. To be singing their songs. I raise my cup in valhalla.

To feast in their halls. And laugh with them all. I raise my cup in valhalla.

(Interlude/Outro Solo)

  Touch The Sky

Can you remember all the times. We were rehearsing all the lines.

Way too high. But still we'd try.

We were loosing sleep. But for the cause. Rocking out without a pause.

Way too high. Way too high.

Then it seemed so cool. But it wasn't true.

And what I was told. There was no lies.

And now I won't die until I'm old.

We were way too high.

Trying to reach up and touch the sky.

Touch the sky.

We were way too high.

Trying to reach up and touch the sky.

But the end would justify. All the lost time that went by.

Do or die. Way too high.

Well, I can't believe it's true. And all the things that we would do.

Way too high. Way too high.

Then it seemed so cool. But it wasn't true.

And what I was told. There was no lies.

And now I won't die until I'm old.

We were way too high.

Trying to reach up and touch the sky.

Touch the sky.

We were way too high.

Trying to reach up and touch the sky.

(Guitar Solo)

All I was told. There was no lies.

I won't die till I'm old.

Trying to reach up and touch the sky.

We were way too high.

Trying to reach up and touch the sky.

We were way too high.

Trying to reach up and touch the sky.

We were way too high.

  Iron Clad

I can't believe you're even trying this. And the fact that you don't know what my power is.

On the battle field all the angels will fall. And you can't hide behind your crumbling walls.

Evil dreams they try to pull you in. But now's the time to pay for all your sins.

When it's even way too late to repent. So maybe your death is just heaven sent.

No shackles can hold me down. You can never understand.

You'll never take my crown. And all the power in my hands.

Forever I shall stay this way. And you'll never take what's mine away.

I just love when vengeance tastes so sweet. I just love when you must taste defeat.

Now you know you must die by my blade. Soon enough your soul will fade away.

It makes me laugh you even took your turn. You can't be serious, won't you ever learn.

I'm the man that you can never take out. You've must forgotten what it's all about.

Threw caution to the wind. Are you really all that blind.

Committing ancient sins. Are you really that behind.

We all have a cross to bear. You can seek but never find. Can't you feel the sadness there.

Did you loose your mind. Now it seems that way to me.

Did you commit those crimes. Open up your eyes and see.

Are you really all so blind. No wonder you were left behind again.

(Guitar Solo)

No shackles can hold me down. You can never understand.

You'll never take my crown. And all the power in my hands.

Forever I shall stay this way. And you'll never take what's mine away.

Did you loose your mind. Now it seems that way to me.

Did you commit those crimes. Open up your eyes and see.

Are you really all so blind. Will it ever set me free. No wonder you were left behind again.
