  Death Dealer

(No!)

Now the demon's here again

Vengeance burning in my soul

I'm a soldier

In the legion of forever

Ride on the storm

Never surrender

To death or glory Marching

On hallowed ground

Till death

Victorious

Death dealer is on the hunt

On the hunt

Can't believe that this is true

Demon really loves the pain

I'm a soldier

In the legion of forever

Ride on the storm

Never surrender

To death or glory Marching

On hallowed ground

Till death

Victorious

Death dealer is on the hunt

On the hunt

Death dealer is on the hunt

On the hunt

(Interlude/Guitar Solo)

He is the bringer of the pain

Jesus Christ Not again

I'm a soldier

In the legion of forever

Ride on the storm

Never surrender

To death or glory Marching

On hallowed ground

Till death

Victorious

(Whaa!)

Death dealer is on the hunt

On the hunt

(Interlude)

  Damnation Game

Damnation Game (Whoa!)

Damnation Game

I won my freedom I paid the price

I keep on searching Never seem to find what I need

Just like a dream

The Europeans we had to fight

I had no choice they made me wise And now I won't fall

into the night

Now you must roll the dice

(Roll the dice)

And meet your own demise

European always lies

Always lies

No one wins

Nobody wins

In this Damnation Game

Nobody wins

In this Damnation Game

I draw the card

The ace of spades

I play for keeps And never, ever fade away

Devil to pay

Patience a virtue

It's wearing thin

You play the game But you will never, ever win

You're living in sin

Now you must roll the dice

(Roll the dice)

And meet your own demise

European always lies

Always lies

No one wins

Nobody wins

In this Damnation Game

Nobody wins

In this Damnation Game

(Interlude/Guitar Solo)

Nobody wins

In this Damnation Game

Nobody wins

In this Damnation Game

Nobody wins

In this Damnation Game

Nobody wins

In this Damnation Game

Damnation Game

Damnation Game

Damnation Game

(Outro Soloing)

(Oohhh!)

  Live To Fight (Another Day)

Live by the sword and never surrender

Die by the sword Don't give in

Now I must rise

Take the journey

Blood, sweat and tears is what you'll find

These wasted years in mortal sin

Angels of death

Always follow you

I must live to fight another day

I'll see the light again

You must learn to burn

For eternity Relentlessly Oh, no

Oh!


The battle cries are getting louder

It's time for you to face the truth

No higher ground

You can run to

Must sacrifice It's all or nothing

Must lift the curse That's haunting you

Forever lost

but never found

I must live to fight another day

I'll see the light again

You must learn to burn

For eternity Relentlessly Oh, no!

Yeah, oh!

(Guitar Solo)

I must live to fight another day

I'll see the light again

You must learn to burn

For eternity Relentlessly Oh, no!

Whoa!

(Outro Soloing)

  Red Devil

Burning down the avenue

Carburetor's breathing

Feel the torque push on through

Hear the tires screaming

Pedal to the metal

Drop the clutch and run

Now the rubber's burning

And the race it has begun

Hear the engine roar

In this mean machine

Time's standing still And my Red Devil's flying

Catch me if you can

Full speed ahead In this red brutal beauty

Four hundred horses running wild

Sayonara see you later

Now you disappear

In my rear view mirror

As I'm changing gear

Screaming down the boulevard

You will eat my dust

Fire breathing beauty

I will always trust

Hear the engine roar

In this mean machine

Time's standing still And my Red Devil's flying

Catch me if you can

Full speed ahead In this red brutal beauty

Four hundred horses running wild

(Guitar Solo)

Screaming down the boulevard

In this mean machine


Time's standing still And my Red Devil's flying

Catch me if you can

Full speed ahead In this red brutal beauty

Four hundred horses running wild

(Outro Soloing)

Wild!

(Evil Laugh)

  The Four Horsemen (Of The Apocalypse)

Fallen angel Show the signs

He's no stranger in your eyes

He's immortal, He's forever

From the portal his demons shall dance


Burning skies

Now the four

Horsemen ride

Along the shore

Across the sea

The beast will rise

You will be sacrificed

Revelation tells

End of days


Never ending Masquerade,

All pretending Death's charade

Burning skies

Now the four

Horsemen ride

Along the shore

Across the sea

The beast will rise

You will be sacrificed

Revelation tells

The end of days

(Solo Break/Interlude/Guitar Solo)

Fallen angel Show the signs

He's no stranger in your eyes

He's immortal, He's forever

From the portal his demons shall dance

Burning skies

Now the four

Horsemen ride

Along the shore

Across the sea

The beast will rise

You will be sacrificed

Revelation tells

The end of days

(Outro Solo)

  Priest Of The Unholy

Born out of fire

Evil rising

We must pay the price

And sacrifice

No grand illusion

This demon dance

Eternally black

No turning back

Veil of mystery

And this masquerade

Lay your weapons down

Surrender now or die

Die!

Priest of the unholy ..... yeah

Burning with vengeance

Burning forever

No mercy to give

No time to live

The final curtain

Comes down at last

Repent all your sins

All your sins

Veil of mystery

And this masquerade

Lay your weapons down

Surrender now or die

Die!

Priest of the unholy ..... yeah

Priest of the unholy ..... yeah

(Guitar Solo)

Into the darkness

Your soul must fall

Your gamble has failed

Gamble has failed

Mountains of madness

There'll be no mercy

We must pay the price

And sacrifice

Veil of mystery

And this masquerade

Lay your weapons down

Surrender now or die

Die!

(Outro Solo)

  Be Careful What You Wish For

You're walking the tight rope With no one to hold when you fall

Hold on to what you got Or you'll end up losing it all

Be careful what you wish for, my friend

You might find what you fear

Listen to the whispers in your ear

Ooh, Your wicked ways

Your wicked ways

You keep on pushing But now you are pushing too far

The demon will find you No matter just who you are

Be careful what you wish for, my friend

You might find what you fear

Listen to the whispers in your ear

Be careful what you wish for, my friend

You might find what you fear

Listen to the whispers in your ear

Yeah!

Your wicked ways

Your wicked ways

Your wicked ways

Oh!

(Interludes/Guitar Solo)

With friends just like this I sure don't need enemies

A cheat never wins And winners, they don't ever cheat

Be careful what you wish for, my friend

You might find what you fear

Listen to the whispers in your ear

Be careful what you wish for, my friend

You might find what you fear

Listen to the whispers in your ear

Your wicked ways

Ooh, your wicked ways

Wicked ways

  Magic City

Well it seemed to me

That the place to be

Was far away

From the dark and the cold

So I sailed away Into the sun

Across the blue sea... (that's right)

Magic city is my home

Where I wanna be

Forever more

Well I had to go away

'Cause I just couldn't stay

Where the cold winds blow

And I'm surrounded by ice and snow... (know I was right)

So I sailed away Into the sun

Across the blue sea

Magic city is my home

Where I wanna be

Forever more

Magic city is my home

Where I wanna be

Forever more

Oohaoh... Ooh... Oohaoh... Ooh... (some guitar now)

(Guitar Solo)

  The Eleventh Hour

Read the signs

On the horizon

Turning blind

No one can see

Hypnotized

Seems like forever

To realize

What this must be

Now eons have passed

Since the dawn of time

When Our Lord

Turned water into wine


Must be done

Eleventh hour

To be undone

There is no time

Slips away

Like an illusion

Forever lost

Stay gone forever

Now eons have passed

Since the dawn of time

When Our Lord

Turned water into wine

(Interlude/Guitar Solo)

No man's land

Just like a stranger

I lost my way

In this strange land

Hypnotized

Seems like forever

To realize

What this must be

Now eons have passed

Since the dawn of time

When Our Lord

Turned water into wine
