Album Lyrics
1. Victim of Changes
Whiskey woman don’t you know that you are drivin’ me insane?
The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my brain.
Don’t you know you’re driving me insane?
You’re tryin’ to find your way through life.
You’re tryin’ to get some new direction.
Another woman got her man.
She won’t find no new connection.
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she’s through.
Takes another look around, you’re not goin’ anywhere.
You’ve realized you’re gettin’ old and no one seems to care.
You’re tryin’ to find your way again.
You’re tryin’ to find some new.
Another woman’s got her man but she won’t find a new.
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she’s through.
You ‘bin foolin’ with some hot guy.
I want to know why is it why.
Get up, get out you know you really blew it.
I’ve had enough, I’ve had enough, good God pluck me.
Once she was wonderful.
Once she was fine.
Once she was beautiful.
Once she was mine.
She was mine.
Now change has come over her body, she doesn’t see me anymore.
Now change has come over her body, she doesn’t see me anymore.
Changes.
Changes.
Changes.
Changes.
Victim of changes.
2. The Ripper
You’re in for surprise, you’re in for a shock.
In London town streets when there’s darkness and fog.
When you least expect me and you turn your back…
…I’ll attack.
I smile when I’m sneaking through shadows by the wall.
I laugh when I’m creeping but you won’t hear me at all.
All hear my warning, never turn your back on the Ripper.
You’ll soon shake with fear, never knowing if I’m near.
I’m sly and I’m shameless, nocturnal and nameless.
Except for “The Ripper” or if you like “Jack The Knife”.
Any back alley street is where we’ll probably meet.
Underneath a gas lamp where the air’s cold and damp.
I’m a nasty surprise, I’m a devil in disguise.
I’m a footstep at night, I’m a scream of the fright.
All hear my warning, never turn your back on the Ripper.
The Ripper.
The Ripper.
3. Dreamer Deceiver
Standing by my window, breathing summer breeze.
Saw a figure floating, ‘neath the willow trees.
Asked us if we were happy, we said we didn’t know.
Took us by the hands and up we go.
We followed the dreamer through the purple hazy clouds.
He could control our sense of time.
We thought we were lost but no matter how we tried.
Everyone was in peace of mind.
We felt the sensations drift inside our frames.
Finding complete contentment there.
All the tensions that hurt us in the past.
Just seemed to vanish in thin air.
He said in the cosmos is a single sonic sound that is vibrating constantly.
If we could grip and hold on to the note, we would see our minds were free.
Oh they’re free!
We are lost above, floating way up high.
If you think you can find a way, you can surely try.
4. Deceiver
Solar winds are blowing, neutron star controlling.
All is lost, doomed and tossed, at what cost forever.
Meteors fly around me
Comets die and then they and then they…
You wanna see how they try to surround me.
I can say, here today, we shall stay forever.
If you want to find us in a hurry
Oh let me tell you don’t you worry.
I can’t say, here today, we shall stay forever.
5. Prelude
(Instrumental)
6. Tyrant
Behold ’tis I the commander, whose grip controls you all.
Resist me not, surrender, I’ll no compassion call.
Tyrant.
Capture of humanity.
Tyrant.
Conqueror of all.
Tyrant.
Hideous destructor.
Tyrant.
Every man shall fall.
Your very lives are held within my fingers, I snap them and you cower down in fear.
You spineless things who belly down to slither to the end of the world you follow to be near.
Tyrant.
Capture of humanity.
Tyrant.
Conqueror of all.
Tyrant.
Hideous destructor.
Tyrant.
Every man shall fall.
Mourn for us oppressed in fear, chained and shackled we are bound.
Freedom choked in dread we live since Tyrant was enthroned.
I listen not to sympathy, whilst ruler of this land.
Withdraw your feeble aches and moans or suffer smite from this my hand.
Tyrant.
Capture of humanity.
Tyrant.
Conqueror of all.
Tyrant.
Hideous destructor.
Tyrant.
Every man shall fall.
Mourn for us oppressed in fear, chained and shackled we are bound.
Freedom choked in dread we live since Tyrant was enthroned.
My legions faithful unto death, I’ll summon to my court.
As you perish, each of you shall scream as you are sought.
Tyrant.
Capture of humanity.
Tyrant.
Conqueror of all.
Tyrant.
Hideous destructor.
Tyrant.
Every man shall fall.
7. Genocide
Mercenary battalions are poised to strike us down.
Terminations conquest upon us now full grown.
Save me, my heart’s open wide.
Help me, no question of pride.
Save me, my people have died.
Total genocide.
Devastation hungers, she waits to leap to earth.
Imminent liquidation before the grand rebirth.
Save me, my heart’s open wide.
Help me, no question of pride.
Save me, my people have died.
Total genocide.
Sin after sin I have endured.
Yet the wounds I bear are the wounds of love.
Frantic mindless zombies, grab at fleeting time.
Lost in cold perplexion, waiting for the sign.
Generations tremble, clinging face to face.
Helpless situation to end the perfect race.
Flashing senseless sabers cut us to the ground.
Eager for the life blood of all who can be found.
Save me, my heart’s open wide.
Help me, no question of pride.
Save me, my people have died.
Total genocide.
Slice to the left, slice to the right.
None to retaliate, none will fight.
Chopping at the hearts, snuffing out the lives.
This race departs, no one will survive.
Heads to the feet, feet to the air.
Souls in the soil, heavy in despair.
End of all ends, body into dust to greet death friends, extinction is a must!
8. Epitaph
The old man’s sitting there, his head bowed down.
Every now and then he’ll take a look around.
His eyes reflect the memory-pain of years gone by.
He can’t regain nostalgic dreams he’ll never see again.
With trembling hands, he wipes a tear.
Many fall like rain, there’s one for every year.
His life laid out so clearly now, life that’s brought death.
So nearly now life once he clung to dearly lets go.
But spare a thought as you pass him by.
Take a closer look and you’ll say:
“He’s our tomorrow, just as much as we are his yesterday”.
A lonely grave and soon forgot.
Only wind and leaves lament his mournful song.
Yet they shout his epitaph out clear for anyone who’s passing near.
It names the person lying here as you and you and you and you.
9. Island of Domination
Beware of their coming.
Take heed our time is near.
Fatality relinguish not.
Brutality in arms doth seek to destroy.
They smashed through the clouds into the light of the moon.
Their steeds were full charging, called destruction and doom.
‘Twas as if all hell had broke loose on this night.
All in all it was a terrible sight.
Now we are taken unto the island of domination.
We gotta get, we gotta get, we gotta get out of this place.
There’s a man with a needle who’s pleading to get to my face.
Hide me and hold me, control free as best as you can.
It’s all becoming too much, I can’t cope for one man.
Now we are taken unto the island of domination.
Skyrider, supersonic flyer.
Nightdriver, demon of desire.
Spinesnapper tried your best to break us.
Throatchoker thought that you could take us.
The fright of your life, the fright of your life.
The fright of your life is here guaranteed.
This is no illusion confessing confusion you’re freed.
Lashings of strappings with beatings competing to win.
Oh what a mess I am blessed, dominations set in.
Now we are taken unto the island of domination.
