You thought that you had the power You thought you knew the way Temptation gave you everything And nothing could take it away Vanity and pride, now you pay the price Your legacy remains, the ashes of your life Love or hate, peace or war Life or death, the choice is yours Lies just seem to surround you Deception you practice each day Caught in delusions of grandeur Watching it all fade away Vanity and pride, now you pay the price Your legacy remains, the ashes of your life Love or hate, peace or war Life or death, the choice was yours Sold your soul and you turned away Now there's nothing left for you to say All your talents are borrowed But no one will call you a thief You left a trail of destruction Sorrow betrayal and grief Love or hate, peace or war Life or death, the choice was yours Sold your soul and you turned away Now there's nothing left for you to say Yeah you sold your soul and you turned away You crossed the line, now it's way too late

Vigilante man walks the street at night Waiting on the dark side of town His eyes are everywhere, he hears every sound There ain't nothin' that he doesn't see It was a desperate situation as the darkness closed in I felt the sweat trickle down off my chin When your feelin the pull ya' gotta fight like a bull Or everybody's gonna drag ya' on in Demanding justice the meek seek their revenge Vanquishing the wicked they have no regrets The hammer will fall The blood will make us free The hammer will fall The masses will rise again He knows the difference between right and wrong He only feeds on the dead He's got his righteous anger he is known and feared Death is all that he's got to give So I hit the floor killing three or four Shooting bullets fast as I can Vengeance is mine sayeth the lord and I'm his right hand man Demanding justice the meek seek their revenge Vanquishing the wicked they have no regrets The hammer will fall The blood will make us free The hammer will fall The masses will rise again The hammer will fall The dead will live forever The hammer will fall The blind will see again Shining in his glory the world must repent Sanctioned by a greater power... Destruction will rain down on the face of the earth The hammer will fall The blood will make us free The hammer will fall The masses will rise again The hammer will fall The dead will live forever The hammer will fall The blind will see again Demanding justice the meek seek their revenge Vanquishing the wicked they have no regrets

Soos creek cemetary late at night The tombstones glowed with an eerie light The moon was full as the fog rolled in We were sleeping on a shack that was made out of tin Somethings going on I said to one of my friends This was a long time ago I mean way back then I'll never forget what he said to me With a twisted laugh and a goulish glee Don't close your eyes or you will die Theres no place left for you to hide Don't you know that evil is real A Presence here that only you can feel Darkness tries to crush the light If crippled by fear you will lose the fight These things in the fog they were evil I could tell Like laughter from the devil in the bowels of hell Voices getting louder as they filled my head And I knew in my heart that we'd soon be dead Don't close your eyes or you will die Theres no place left for you to hide Don't you know that evil is real A Presence here that only you can feel Darkness tries to crush the light If crippled by fear you will lose the fight Don't close your eyes or you will die Theres no place left for you to hide Don't you know that evil is real A Presence here that only you can feel Darkness tries to crush the light If crippled by fear you will lose the fight

I am one with those I take, their spirits live in me I watch and wait and I know just when It's home their gonna be I am all the afterbith, the part that no one wants So strap me in your padded cell Or I'll eat your body parts I am a child of our society Killing the weak makes sense to me I am becoming - I am becoming Those of you who think your smart And try to pick my brain I'll crawl inside your tiny head, making you insane So stay at home, don't follow me Your death would be a shame Cause when you find the next one dead You'll know just who to blame I am a child of our society Killing the weak makes sense to me I am becoming - I am becoming I am a child of our society Killing the weak makes sense to me I am becoming - I am becoming

In 1410 it was written then The Smithfield fires burned so hot The saints were led as the bodies bled To a place where they knew they'd be free Through the years and with all the fears Kingdoms rose and then would fall Ceaser's turn still the martyr's burned As the pious would all heed the call I will not kneel or confess to a lie Standing for truth on this day I will die Burning at the stake - Falsely accused Burning at the stake - Burning at the stake Flames are burning high '45 the believers died as Stalin burned the country's face Hitler proved he could remove 6 million just because of their race We make the pleas of the century Cause the fires are still burning hot At your best could you stand the test Of living in a prison til you rot? Burning at the stake - Burning at the stake Flames are burning high It is true, and I'm telling you Lies travel faster than the truth The world is wrong and it won't be long Til the devil asks ya' who you're gonna' choose It's still this way, each and every day Thousands die for their faith In your hearts desire could you take the fire And face your final fate Burning at the stake - Burning at the stake Flames are burning high

Deep in the land there is darkness The thing that is there has conceived Stephen and James were the first to die Killed for the way they believed Judgement day will come and you will bow down All the dead will rise, the angels will cry Die Satan Die Die Satan Die Pestilence, famine and blood wars everyone loses there mind Ripping the flesh off the holy It's just a matter of time Die Satan Die Die Satan Die Torture so evil and cunning The devil himself would be proud Killing the innocent children Their blood will cry out from the ground Die Satan Die Die Satan Die

Danger, terror from out in the night Shadows closing coming for my life How could this have happened into misery Locked inside a nightmare and no one has the key It happened on a Friday As I lay awake in bed This spirit in the forest Racing straight for my head Blackness - Darkness - Madness You can't know the fear Locked inside a nightmare Locked inside a nightmare Voices louder ringing in my ears Thought it was the reaido (things been dead for years) I can' stand it anymore make it go away Imagine if you will of knowing you're the prey Blackness - Darkness - Madness You don't know the fear Pain is falling from the sky, you know you must forget Vile recollections of unholy black regret Paralyzed you can't move, just breathing is a choice Impossible to stop, it can slip beneath a door Locked inside a nightmare...

He lived before, He'll live again His thirst for blood will never end In a land far away, in a time long ago In a castle that stood dark and cold He's flying overhead, his sad wings beat the night Stronger than a thousand men but must avoid the light Break these chains Drive a stake through my heart Set me free Drive a stake through my heart I am damned, never free, a prisoner of fate This lust for blood consuming me as I lay down in my grave He's flying overhead, his sad wings beat the night Stronger than a thousand men but must avoid the light Break these chains Drive a stake through my heart Set me free Drive a stake through my heart Across the threshold there is no end From the grave I rise again Break these chains Drive a stake through my heart Set me free Drive a stake through my heart

Its written somewhere in the corners of my mind Never let the moon come and take me soon When the days just pass me by I sit and wonder staring at the sea Why I'm standing here holding back the tears Under grey and broken skies My heart is breaking There is nothing left to say Oh how can I end this pain Take this pain away Can't live another day Everyday it's the same old thing Im walking in the rain I can see your face but I can't erase the love you left behind Why you chose to take your life and end it on that day Marianne I can't understand why you had to turn away This place you've gone to there ain't no going back You left me hear alone Take this pain away Can't live another day Our son is weeping as we stand here by your grave Ain't it sad and you know its bad to remember you this way Life can sometimes be so cruel But we must carry on The morning star You know it's never far But you could never see If I could have just one more wish I'd hold you once again, oh hold you once again Take this pain away Can't live another day
