Album Lyrics
1. Holy Wars… the Punishment Due
Brother will kill brother spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion something I don’t understand
And fools like me, who cross the sea and come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep, for their beliefs “Do you kill on God’s command?”
A country that’s divided surely will not stand
My past erased, no more disgrace, no foolish naive stand
The end is near, it’s crystal clear part of the master plan
Don’t look now to Israel it might be your homelands
Holy wars
Upon my podium, as the know it all scholar
Down in my seat of judgment Gavel’s bang, uphold the law
Up on my soapbox, a leader out to change the world
Down in my pulpit as the holier than thou could be messenger of God
Wage the war on organized crime
Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks behind the lines
Some people risk to employ me, some people live to destroy me
Either way they die, they die
They killed my wife and my baby, with hopes to enslave me
First mistake, last mistake
Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants
Next mistake… no more mistakes
Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite
Because I don’t say it, don’t mean I ain’t thinking it
Next thing you know, they’ll take my thoughts away
I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose and the lack of mercy killings
Mercy killings, mercy killings, killings, killings, killings
Next thing you know, they’ll take my thoughts away
2. Hangar 18
Welcome to our fortress tall
I’ll take some time to show you around
Impossible to break these walls
For you see the steel is much too strong
Computer banks to rule the world
Instruments to sight the stars
Possibly I’ve seen too much
Hangar 18 I know too much
Foreign life forms inventory
Suspended State of cryogenics
Selective amnesia’s the story
Believed foretold but who’d suspect
The military intelligence
Two words combined that can’t make sense
Possibly I’ve seen too much
Hangar 18 I know too much
3. Take No Prisoners
Got one chance (Infiltrate them)
Get it right (Terminate them)
Panzers will (Permeate them)
Break their pride (Denigrate them)
And their people (Retrograde them)
Typhus (Deteriate them)
Epidemic (Devastate them)
Take no prisoners (Cremate them)
Burn!
Going to war, give ‘em hell, d-day, next stop Normandie
Beginning of the end, we know how to and sure shit we’ll win
War is peace, sure man, a retreat for the damned
A playground for the demented, a haven for those who walk this world, bereft of heart and soul
Love and war they say all is fair
Take his life won’t take his hair
Your body has parts, your country’s past
By the way son here’s your wheelchair
He once had to be all he could be, now he’s nothing for no one, nowhere to see
Funny thing, he’s like you and me, it’s a funny thing, funny thing
Tears streak his solemn stare, abandoned for wreckage nobody cares
No one knew what would happen there, no one spoke no one even dared
Don’t ask what you can do for your country
Ask what your country can do for you
Take no prisoners, take no shit
Take no prisoners, take no shit
Take no prisoners, take no shit
Take no prisoners, take no… ah shit
4. Five Magics
Bestow upon me knowledge, wizard all knowing, all wise
I want to rule my kingdom, make sweet the breeze that was defiled
Dethrone the evil prince’s iron fists in velvet gloves of sin
Parade the gray robed monks vestal virgins, wheel the wyvern’s in
Let the ceremony consecrate the marriage
Let me be the protege of five magics
Give me alchemy, give me sorcery, give me wizardry, thermatology
Electricity, master all of these, magic if you please, bring him to his knees
I master five magics
I master five magics
I master five magics
I master five magics
Possessed with hellish torment (Possessed with hellish torment)
I master magics five (I master magics five)
Hunting the abyss Lord (Hunting the abyss Lord)
Only one will stay alive (Only one will stay alive)
He who lives by the sword (He who lives by the sword)
Will surely also die (Will surely also die)
He who lives in sin (He who lives in sin)
Will surely live the lie
5. Poison Was the Cure
I miss the warm embrace I felt
First time you touched me
Secure and safe in open arms
I should have known you’d crush me
A snake, you were when we met
I loved you anyway
Pulling out your poisoned fangs
The venom never goes away
Serpent swims free in my blood
Dragons sleeping in my veins
Jekyll speaking with tongue
Roach egg laying in my brain
Stalked beneath your shadow
Sleepwalking to the gallows
I’m the sun that beats your brow in
Till I finally threw the towel in
Never knowing if I’d wake up
In a whirlpool, got redundant
My brain was just some driftwood
In a cesspool I became dead
From a rock star to a desk fool
Was my destiny someone said
Life’s a tide pool
Taste the waters, life’s abundant
Taste me
6. Lucretia
Sitting up late at night, I tiptoe through the darkness
Cold as hell, black as spades, aware of my immediate surrounding
It’s in my place well I escape, up into my hideout
Hiding from everyone, my friends all say, “Dave you’re mental anyway” hey
Drift into a deeper state, I stalk the cobwebbed stairways
Dirt grits beneath my feet, the stair creaks, I precariously sneak, yeah
Hypnosis guides my hand, I slip slide through the walkways
Sit in granny’s rocking chair, memories are whirling by, yeah
Reminisce in the attic, Lucretia waits impatiently
Cobwebs make me squint, the cobra so eloquently glints
Moonbeams surge through the sky, the crystal ball’s energized
Surely that like the cat waiting, Lucretia rocks away, hey
7. Tornado of Souls
This morning I made the call, the one that ends it all
Hanging up, I wanted to cry, but dammit, this well’s gone dry
Not for the money, not for the fame
Not for the power, just no more games
But now I’m safe in the eye of the tornado
I can’t replace the lies, that let a 1000 days go
No more living trapped inside, in her way I’ll surely die
In the eye of the tornado, blow me away
You’ll grow to loathe my name, you’ll hate me just the same
You won’t need your breath and soon you’ll meet your death
Not from the years, not from the use
Not from the tears, just self abuse
But now I’m safe in the eye of the tornado
I can’t replace the lies, that let a 1000 days go
No more living trapped inside, in her way I’ll surely die
In the eye of the tornado, blow me away
Who’s to say, what’s for me to say
Who’s to say, what’s for me to be
Who’s to say, what’s for me to do
‘Cause a big nothing it’ll be for me
The land of opportunity
The golden chance for me
My future looks so bright
Now I think I’ve seen the light
Can’t say what’s on my mind
Can’t do what I really feel
In this bed I made for me
Is where I sleep, I really feel
I warn you of the fate, proven true to late
Your tongue twist perverse, come drink now of this curse
And now I fill your brain, I spin you round again
My poison fills your head as I tuck you into bed
You feel my fingertips, you won’t forget my lips
You’ll feel my cold breath, it’s the kiss of death
8. Dawn Patrol
Thermal count is rising in perpetual writhing
The primordial ooze and the sanity they lose
Awakened in the morning to more air pollution warnings
Still we sleepwalk off to work while our ne-ne-ne-nervous systems jerk
Pretending not to notice how history had forebode us
With the green house in effect our environment was wrecked
Now I can only laugh as I read our epitaph
We end our lives as moles in the dark of dawn patrol
9. Rust in Peace… Polaris
Tremble you weaklings, cower in fear
I am your ruler, land, sea and air
Immense in my girth, erect I stand tall
I am a nuclear murderer I am Polaris
Ready to pounce at the touch of a button
My system locked in on military gluttons
I rule on land, air and sea, pass judgement on humanity
Winds blow from the bowels of hell
Will we give warning? Only time will tell
Satan rears his ugly head, to spit into the wind
I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload a mile high
Rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload a mile high
Rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
Launch the Polaris, the end doesn’t scare us
When will this cease? Warheads will all rust in peace
Bomb shelters filled to the brim
Survival such a silly whim
World leaders sell missiles cheap
Your stomach turns, your flesh creeps
I rule on land, air and sea, pass judgement on humanity
Winds blow from the bowels of hell
Will we give warning? Only time will tell
I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload mile high
Rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload mile high
Rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
Launch the Polaris, the end doesn’t scare us
When will this cease? Warheads will all rust in peace
High priest of Holocaust, fire from the sea
Nuclear winter spreading disease
The day of final conflict all pay the price
The third World War, rapes peace, takes life
Back to the start, talk of the part
When the earth was cold as ice
Total dismay as the sun passed away
And days were black as night
I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload a mile high
Rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
I spread disease like a dog, discharge my payload a mile high
Rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils
Launch the Polaris, the end doesn’t scare us
When will this cease? Warheads will all rust in peace
Ah…
Eradication of Earth’s population loves Polaris
Eradication of Earth’s population loves Polaris
Eradication of Earth’s population loves Polaris
Eradication of Earth’s population loves Polaris
