Over The Wall

Music : Peterson,Skolnick, Christian Lyrics : Souza Time : 4:04
 

I´ve been a prisoner 
Trapped in by fear 
Ordered for the rest of my life 
Condemned in a jail cell 
Ain´t seen life in years 
Escape is the only way out 

Restart my life 
Or self destruction 
To climb this wall of dark construction 
Holding the quest for freedom 
That beckons me 

My sanity is all but gone 
My patience is growing very weak 
I need to get a hold of my self 
I stare at the wall 
For the right time has come 
Escape must occur on this night 

Restart my life 
Or self destruction 
To climb this wall of dark construction 
Holding the quest for freedom 
That beckons me 

Stand in my way 
And I`ll run you straight through 
There´s no one to stop me now 
For I´m on the loose 
And I`m ready to start 
Torture and hell in this town 

Over The Wall ! 

The search will not stop 
And hounds will not rest 
Till I am back in my cell 
For if I am caught, I`ll try it again 
Over the wall I`ll go, I`ll go ! 

Restart my life 
Or self destruction 
To climb this wall of dark construction 
Holding the quest for freedom 
That beckons me 
 
 
 

Burnt Offerings

Music : Skolnick,Peterson Lyrics : Souza, Peterson Time : 5:03 

Summoned to the house of seance 
To play the evil tarot cards 
To find out what our fate will bring us 
Before the war 

Approaching now the hour of tiamat 
Evil feeling in the air 
The chosen wait impatiently 
To find the rituals of power 
Come out of the fire 
Making the legacy known 
Predicted by the past 
Takes its toll at last 
Now knowing when it strikes 

The endless fueling shows its fate 
The people are all shocked with fright 
They know the end is coming near 
It`s time to fight 

The revolution holds on strong 
The armies have all met their match 
Entire world up in arms 
Destruction sees the spirits of anger 
Come up from the gallows 
Conjured my demons appear 
Summoned to my cast, prey this deadly mass 
Takin´ by the fire you fail 

The world became a vast wasteland 
Survivors turn to cannibals 
Killing everything in sight 
Warfare tonight 

The armies are all closing in 
The populations getting small 
Feelings are as cold as ice 
Survival names its price 
Starting to burn 
The rape and violence grows high 
A kingdom will rise 
To rule with contempt 
They will surprise 
Kill and repent 
The weakness in armies 
Won´t die! 

Leaving now the house of seance 
Speculating destiny 
Wonder if the cards were true 
Will wait to find out and will wait to see 
 
 
 
 

C.O.T.L.O.D.

Music : Ramírez,Peterson Lyrics : Ramírez, Peterson Time : 2:28 
 

Witches grow restless 
The priest are impatient 
My legions scream 
The gates must be open 
Our master repels 
A message of hope 
On through the gates we march 
The sentinels await 
With their sabers in grasp 
A vast group locust attack 
A vast group locust attack 

Attacking with force 
As we show no remorse 
Obstruction our victims fate 
The blood in the chalice 
Saluting the fight 
All virgins must die this night 
Psychotic reaction from a serpents kiss 
Is taking the life from your soul 
And leading a train of destruction from hell 
Finding our way through hells hole! 

Curse Of The Legions Of Death 
Curse Of The Legions Of Death 
Curse Of The Legions Of Death 

Curse Of The Legions Of Death 
Provoke the dead 
Curse Of The Legions Of Death 
Provoke the dead 
Curse Of The Legions Of Death 
 
 
 

Do Or Die

Music : Skolnick,Peterson, Clemente Lyrics : Skolnick, Peterson, Billy Time : 4:36 
 

Living my life on borrowed time 
watching my dreams disappear 
my fists slowly clench 
as my mind seeks control 
my body trembles in fear 
life was looking up for me 
when I left home 
seems like yesterday 
now I´ll never go back there again 
here is where I´ll stay 

Nobody can hear you scream or shout 
once you´re in you won´t come out 
you will never see the light of day 
I´m the hunter you´re my prey! 

Watching the clash between 
the forces below 
from up in the planes we´re flying 
survivors are taken as prisoners of war 
the others are slowly dying 
I shiver as we strap on your 
parachutes 
we line up to jump out the door 
we´re already here and there´s 
no turning back 
I fall to the scene of the war 

Nobody can hear you scream or 
shout 
once you´re in you won´t come out 
you will never see the light of day 
I´m the hunter you´re my prey! 

You can see me 
flying right over your head 
try to stop me 
you can´t cause your armies are dead 
to cross their blood red 
trenches of the dead below 
do or die 
hells the place you´ll go 

Living my life on borrowed time 
watching my dreams disappear 
my fists slowly clench 
as my mind seeks control 
my body trembles in fear 
life was looking up for me 
when I left home 
seems like yesterday 
now I´ll never go back there again 
here is where I´ll stay 

Nobody can hear you scream or shout 
once you´re in you won´t come out 
you will never see the light of day 
I´m the hunter you´re my prey!

The Haunting

Music : Skolnick,Peterson Lyrics : Souza Peterson Time :4:11

Hear the screams, screams of fright 
Shrieks of terror through the night 
Souls of old band to hold 
The meeting for the haunting night 

Headless ghosts fill the halls 
Shadow plays of grief and pain 
Phantom speaks his final note 
Tenants of the castle slain 

Black cats will appear 
As the witching hour nears 
Lost souls will all be told 
For haunting we will go! 

See their dreams come to life 
Under pressure holding tight 
Feel the cold grabbing hold 
To feed you to the haunting night 

Evil witch black as pitch 
Starts a fire with a flinch 
Burning fire rising higher 
Making music like a choir 

Children of the night 
They´re howling at black skies 
The ruthless calls within 
For the haunting now begins 

Stay away from the shining light 
Can´t seem to find the answer there 
Bring back the terror in the night 
That we all share tonight 

Hear the screams, screams of fright 
Shrieks of terror through the night 
Souls of old band to hold 
The meeting for the haunting 

Headless ghosts fill the halls 
Shadow plays of grief and pain 
Phantom speaks his final note 
Tenants of the castle slain 

Black cats will appear 
As the witching hour nears 
Lost souls will all be told 
For haunting we will go! 
 

Raging Waters

Music : Peterson Lyrics : Souza, Peterson Time : 4:30 
 

Our ship sailed on through 
the violent bearing sea 
Not knowing of danger 
Waiting in store for me 
We wound up all in mayhem 
The vessel tossed and turned 
The compass that had led us 
We watched it slowly burn 
We`ll never see our homeland 
We know it all right then 
That fate was on the second hand 
Of borrowed time again 
For that evil pathed our way 

The men were being thrown 
From left and right they fell 
The water was as hot as satan´s 
Forge from hell 
The questions that arose like 
Where the hell are we 
I had a good idea we´re in the 
Devil´s sea: The triangle! 

See what´s become of your 
Life left to live 
No hope from this land of trust 
Hells winds scream sacrilege 
Death from above 
The great white closes in 
The corpses afloat all shattered in rage 
No hope for our peace of mind 
Satans vessels come closer and closer 
He holds the sea´s fate in his hand 

Violence, Terror 
Raging Waters 
Dying has scare us nowhere to go 
Darkness prevails no one to save us 
Every one man for himself 

The red gem of hades is shining too hot 
Satan´s power becomes strong 
His armies have killed so many before us 
A sacrifice must be done 
The door of the chosen 
Has opened for us what sanctuary 
Will we see 
See him panic crying in lust 
Screaming he´ll get me 

Violence, Terror 
Raging Waters 
Dying has scare us nowhere to go now 
Darkness prevails no one to save us 
Every one man for himself 
Our ship sailed on through 
the violent bearing sea 
Not knowing of danger 
Waiting in store for me 
We wound up all in mayhem 
The vessel tossed and turned 
The compass that had led us 
We watched it slowly burn 
We`ll never see our homeland 
We know it all right then 
That fate was on the second hand 
Of borrowed time again 
For that evil pathed our way 
 
 

First Strike Is Deadly

Music : Peterson,Skolnick Lyrics : Souza, Christian Time : 3:41 
 

Prisoners of the venom master 
guilty for what you´ve been charged 
sit in cells condemned to face 
the deadly snap of their jaws 
terror stricken you lie and wait 
in the final hour 
knowing of your wretched fate 
and the serpent power 

First Strike Is Deadly 

The evil path that you must take 
is filled with the slither of snakes 
their hiding and waiting for the 
time to lunge 
for your flesh and your fate 
no one escapes or comes out alive 
for the snakes they´ll never lose 
for if they hit you just one time 
you have just faced your doom 

First Strike Is Deadly 

Deadly strike bred to kill 
the venom howling in your veins 
psychotic spell a gift from hell 
the sound of deadly lead remains 
 

Apocalyptic City

Music : Skolnick,Peterson Lyrics : Skolnick, Peterson Time : 5:48 
 

Born into a world of hatred 
nothing to live for 
what started with a simple match 
turned into something more 
the pain I felt inside my head 
came on my day of birth 
now the time has come for me 
to burn the planet earth 

I can feel the fire 
burning inside of me 
the powers at my fingers 
waiting you shall see 

Burn, ignite the population 
Burn, causing mass cremation 
Burn, feel no shame or pity 
Burn, apocalyptic city 

Years have passed as I stood still 
to plan the final blow 
I´ll make the town go up in flames 
a hellish death they´ll know 
as I pour on the gasoline 
I listen deep inside 
I hear the cries of all my victims 
no where to run or hide 

I can feel the fire 
burning inside of me 
the powers at my fingers 
waiting you shall see 

Burn, ignite the population 
Burn, causing mass cremation 
Burn, feel no shame or pity 
Burn, apocalyptic city 

Now my great assault is over 
and my life is done 
staring at my great infernos 
was my only fun 
so I leave you with my tale 
here my conscious falls 
victim of myself 
so now I´ll end it all 

I can feel the fire 
burning inside of me 
the powers at my fingers 
waiting you shall see 

Burn, ignite the population 
Burn, causing mass cremation 
Burn, feel no shame or pity 
Burn, apocalyptic city
