Album Lyrics
1. Fight Fire with Fire
Do unto others as they’ve done to you
But what the hell is this world coming to?
Blow the universe into nothingness
Nuclear warfare shall lay us to rest
Fight fire with fire
Ending is near
Fight fire with fire
Bursting with fear
We all shall die
Time is like a fuse, short and burning fast
Armageddon’s here, like said in the past
Fight fire with fire
Ending is near
Fight fire with fire
Bursting with fear
Soon to fill our lungs, the hot winds of death
The gods are laughing, so take your last breath
Fight fire with fire
Ending is near
Fight fire with fire
Bursting with fear
Fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire
Fight fire with fire
Fight!
2. Ride the Lightning
Guilty as charged but damn it, it ain’t right
There’s someone else controlling me
Death in the air, strapped in the electric chair
This can’t be happening to me
Who made you God to say:
“I’ll take your life from you”?
Flash before my eyes
Now it’s time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flames
Wait for the sign to flick the switch of death
It’s the beginning of the end
Sweat, chilling cold as I watch death unfold
Consciousness my only friend
My fingers grip with fear
What I am doing here?
Flash before my eyes
Now it’s time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flames
Someone help me
Oh please, God help me
They’re trying to take it all away
I don’t want to die
Someone help me
Oh please, God help me
They’re trying to take it all away
I don’t want to die
Time moving slow, the minutes seem like hours
The final curtain call I see
How true is this? Just get it over with
If this is true, just let it be
Wakened by the horrid scream
Freed from the frightening dream
Flash before my eyes
Now it’s time to die
Burning in my brain
I can feel the flames
3. For Whom the Bell Tolls
Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless gray
On they fight, for they’re right, yes, but who’s to say?
For a hill, men would kill. Why? They do not know
Stiffened wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
Take a look to the sky just before you die
It’s the last time you will
Blackened roar, massive roar, fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls
4. Fade to Black
Life it seems, will fade away, drifting further everyday
Getting lost within myself, nothing matters, no one else
I have lost the will to live , simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me, need the end to set me free
Things not what they used to be, missing one inside of me
Deadly loss, this can’t be real, cannot stand this hell I feel
Emptiness is filling me, to the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn, I was me, but now he’s gone
No one but me can save myself, but it’s too late
Now I can’t think, think why I should even try
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye
Goodbye!
5. Trapped Under Ice
I don’t know how to live through this hell
Woken up, I’m still locked in this shell
Frozen soul, frozen down to the core
Break the ice, I can’t take anymore
Freezing! Can’t move at all
Screaming! Can’t hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out! I’m trapped under ice
Crystallized as I lay here and rest
Eyes of glass stare directly at death
From deep sleep I have broken away
No one knows, no one hears what I say
Freezing! Can’t move at all
Screaming! Can’t hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out! I’m trapped under ice
Scream! From my soul
Fate! Mystified
Hell! Forevermore
Scream! From my soul
Fate! Mystified
Hell! Forever more
No release from my cryonic state
What is this? I’ve been stricken by fate
Wrapped up tight, cannot move, can’t break free
Hand of doom has a tight grip on me
Freezing! Can’t move at all
Screaming! Can’t hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out! I’m trapped under ice
Freezing! Can’t move at all
Screaming! Can’t hear my call
I am dying to live
Cry out! I’m trapped under ice
6. Escape
Feel no pain, but my life ain’t easy, I know I’m my best friend
No one cares, but I’m so much stronger, I’ll fight until the end
To escape from the true false world, undamaged destiny
Can’t get caught in the endless circle, ring of stupidity
Out for my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can’t see
No need to hear things that they say
Life’s for my own to live my own way
Rape my mind and destroy my feelings, don’t tell me what to do
I don’t care now ‘cause I’m on my side, and I can see through you
Feed my brain with your so called standards, who says that I ain’t right?
Break away from your common fashion, see through your blurry sight
Out for my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can’t see
No need to hear things that they say
Life’s for my own to live my own way
See them try to bring the hammer down
No damn chains can hold me to the ground
Life’s for my own to live my own way (repeat to end)
7. Creeping Death
Slaves! Hebrews born to serve to the pharaoh
Heed! To his every word, live in fear
Faith! Of the unknown one, the deliverer
Wait! Something must be done, four hundred years
So let it be written
So let it be done
I’m sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I’m creeping death
Now! Let my people go, land of Goshen
Go! I will be with thee, bush of fire
Blood! Running red and strong down the Nile
Plague! Darkness three days long, hail to fire
So let it be written
So let it be done
I’m sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I’m creeping death
Die! (repeat)
By my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first born man
Die! (repeat)
By my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first born man
I! Rule the midnight air, the destroyer
Born! I shall soon be there, deadly mass
I! Creep the steps and flood, final darkness
Blood! Lambs blood painted door, I shall pass
So let it be written
So let it be done
I’m sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I’m creeping death
