I’ve been away from home Was outta sight No other change has come Who let the boredom in? We got our rocking rights We’ll overcome The mirror never lies We’ll show ‘em how it’s done We always dress in black to be unkind We always dress in black with you in mind... It’s the way of life we live – you know where we are coming from It’s the way of life we live in – and we’re not wrong ‘Cause it’s the way of life we live – you know where we are coming from It’s the way of life we live in – we are the strong We never will deceive Take no double-talk And all the fat cats bull Don’t like the way we walk They spit behind our backs Unwelcomed class But it’s way down deep They wanna be like us We always dress in black to be unkind We always dress in black with you in mind... It’s the way of life we live – you know where we are coming from It’s the way of life we live in – and we’re not wrong ‘Cause it’s the way of life we live – you know where we are coming from It’s the way of life we live in – we are the strong Time is ticking by For your life is such a lie You clipped your wings to fly You could have had it all – but! Work nine to five Finish fifty-five Only born to die You ever been alive? We always dress in black to be unkind We always dress in black with you in mind... It’s the way of life we live – you know where we are coming from It’s the way of life we live in – and we’re not wrong ‘Cause it’s the way of life we live – you know where we are coming from It’s the way of life we live in – we are the strong It’s the way of life we live – you know where we are coming from It’s the way of life we live in – and we’re not wrong

Now I’m back with a vengeance Didn’t want to stay, to stay away from you No illegal fun – you had me hypnotized Cheap and on the run – a bad reputation Now the time has come to take the blame away To fly the clouds so high and touch the sun Into a desperate sky and the nightmare’s begun Now I’m back with a vengeance (vengeance) I am back with a vengeance (vengeance) Never been my style to hide away from you Like a wayward child – you tried to paralyze And to cage my heart – bad recommendation Now the fear has gone – there’s zero left to say To fly the clouds so high and touch the sun Into a desperate sky – wait for the terror to come Now I’m back with a vengeance (vengeance) I am back with a vengeance (vengeance) (Vengeance) (Vengeance) (Vengeance) (Vengeance) To fly the clouds so high and touch the sun Into a desperate sky, so the horror has won (Vengeance) I am back with a vengeance (vengeance) I am back with a vengeance (vengeance) I am back with a vengeance (vengeance) I am back with a vengeance (vengeance) I am back with a vengeance (vengeance) I am back with a vengeance (vengeance)

Now it’s time to break the spell Future’s written down Is it tears or happiness? What’s your fate – time will tell Is it left or is it right? Elect the road you’ll take Will you see the other side? Take a ride, take a ride to see Take a ride to see There’s no excuses if it’s badness So many ways it can go wrong And if it happens to be gladness Then you can say that you have won That you have won One step to fate – why don’t you follow me One step to fate – I know it’s near One step to fate – no power’s over me One step to fate – it only takes one step to fate The time is now, it’s make or break The turning of the tide This is the way it has to be Live your life to the edge To the edge Could be bad you know it might The mission’s under way Now you’ve reached the other side Open up, open up your eyes No more excuses if it’s badness So many ways that have gone wrong Not always happens to be gladness Whichever way you know you’ve won You know you’ve won One step to fate – why don’t you follow me One step to fate – I know it’s near One step to fate – no power’s over me One step to fate – it only takes one step to fate With a touch of sadness Dreams can fade away Laughter is my passion Never cried away One step to fate – why don’t you follow me One step to fate – I know it’s near One step to fate – no power’s over me One step to fate – it only takes one step to fate

I lit another cigarette She did a little pirouette No friend of mine – a dollar’s fine A cruel world when you cross this line The masquerade is over The mask – it fades away Like a backstreet loner No need to be afraid In Johnny Nofinger’s bar I travelled so far I’ve been to all those places Just a shot on the bar A cheap cigar And all the dead-eyed faces Hold down the fever Don’t you cross the line Hold down the fever Stop yourself in time Never step on the ride Just take my advice I’ve suffered all the seasons Feel it coming again I paid the price There’s no rhyme, no reason Hold down the fever Don’t you cross the line Hold down the fever Stop yourself in time When masquerades are over The show will fade away You’ll be a backstreet loner You better be afraid Hold down the fever Don’t you cross the line Hold down the fever Stop yourself in time Hold down the fever Don’t you cross the line Hold down the fever Stop yourself in time

Long ago, in another life I was innocent, just a child Transformed my brain into an evil thing Now I’m a creature of the night I’m a shadow in the darkness and I’m watching you Though you can’t see me I am always at your side When I’m on your heels, you see how it feels To sense the curse of Azrael In the night I’ll come to you Your life belongs to me I wake you up, you stare at me I’m the last thing that you’ll ever see The panic in your eyes that I have hungered for Shows me you have realized the truth Death comes to the dying and before your eyes grow dim The last word on your lips is Azrael I will destroy your dreams I will destroy your mind I will destroy your soul And then I’ll take your life Sometimes I remember the life I had before I asked myself was it just a dream When I close my eyes I see an ocean flowing blood And in my sleep I hear those fearful screams So lock your doors, remove the keys It doesn’t matter if you leave or stay Wherever you go I’ll be expecting you Your resistance is the spice that I crave When you imagine there’s a movement in the shadows The light around you weakens more and more Prepare for the arrival of the uninvited guest The angel of the darkness, Azrael I will destroy your dreams I will destroy your mind I will destroy your soul And then I’ll take your life I will destroy your dreams I will destroy your mind I will destroy your soul And then I’ll take your life When you imagine there’s a movement in the shadows The light around you weakens more and more Death comes to the dying and before your eyes grow dim The last word on your lips is Azrael

Sometimes I have this scary dream In my head Apocalyptic scenes It makes my instincts mad Surrounded by machinery The warheads never ever rest It’s an untrustful century So open up You hold the key in your hand Unlock the door to the future You hold the key in your hand The end of all the torture And all the time I wake and scream Where’s a lead? Assassinated hopes They make my body bleed We’re running out of energy How did we generate this mess? Made ourselves the enemy So open up You hold the key in your hand Unlock the door to the future You hold the key in your hand The end of all the torture You hold the key in your hand Nobody’s there to help We’re just on our own The epidemics rage We rally to the call We’re the leaders of our destiny It’s the only other chance we’ve got Why are we unable mentally To open up? You hold the key in your hand Unlock the door to the future You hold the key in your hand The end of all the torture You hold the key in your hand Never say no one told ya You hold the key in your hand I hope the message will reach ya You hold the key in your hand
