New York, Tokyo, Amsterdam and Berlin Nobody knows where the Hell you've been Blackmail, murder, kidnapping and deceit When I catch you, revenge will be sweet Did you really think you could take my money and run? Don't you know that your time has come? Run away as fast and far as you can But I'm hot on your heels, 'cause I'm the hitman Between the hammer and the nail You know that I won't fail, I won't fail You don't know when the axe will fall But I will see you crawl, you will crawl Moscow, Hong Kong, L.A. and Madrid I won't stop 'til I see you dead Try to hide, go deep underground But the day will come where I'll run you down I feel the rush, I feel the thrill One step behind, closing in for the kill With no mercy and no sympathy No remorse, as I watch you bleed Between the hammer and the nail You know that I won't fail, I won't fail You don't know when the axe will fall But I will see you crawl, you will crawl The hammer and the nail The hammer and the nail The hammer and the nail The hammer and the nail The hammer and the nail The hammer and the nail You don't know when the axe will fall But I will see you crawl With no mercy and no sympathy No remorse while I watch you bleed New York, Tokyo, Amsterdam and Berlin Nobody knows where the Hell you've been Blackmail, murder, kidnapping and deceit When I catch you, revenge will be sweet Did you really think you could take my money and run? Don't you know that your time has come? Run away as fast and far as you can But I'm hot on your heels, 'cause I'm the hitman Between the hammer and the nail You know that I won't fail, I won't fail You don't know when the axe will fall But I will see you crawl, you will crawl The hammer and the nail The hammer and the nail The hammer and the nail The hammer and the nail The hammer and the nail The hammer and the nail

Double-crossed Pay the cost Double-crossed It's the love of money, that turned you 'round An underworld mentality, that quickly cut me down And for a dollar, stab me in the back Showing me your evil, your integrity you lack Double-crossed Pay the cost Double-crossed I'm caught in the crossfire again With a gun to my head I'm caught in the crossfire again I'll probably end up dead Double-crossed Pay the cost Double-crossed You have no honor, you have no shame You have no loyalty, dishonesty's your game You brought your pistol, you brought your knife And then you threatened me, and said you'd take my life Double-crossed Pay the cost Double-crossed I'm caught in the crossfire again With a gun to my head I'm caught in the crossfire again I'll probably end up dead Double-crossed

Blind Nation 04:23
In a war between the right and wrong Battlelines are set and drawn Set for the war that's just begun With armies on the left and right Led by men who lack the sight Staring down the barrel of a gun Plunged into endless darkness Their eyes seared into blindness By the power they harness But they're blind! In a world where only madness reigns Ruled by men who are insane Fighting 'til nothing remains In a time where we all live in fear In fear that the end is near The end of all that we hold dear Plunged into endless darkness Their eyes seared into blindness By the power they harness But they're blind! Blind Nation They're blind! Blind Nation In a war between the right and wrong Battlelines are set and drawn Set for the war that's just begun With armies on the left and right Led by men who lack the sight Staring down the barrel of a gun 'Cause they're blind! Blind Nation

Her parents were in disbelief But they had heard the floorboards creak It's just a childhood game, they'd say Her invisible friend had come to play I'm the one she's talking to... All alone there in her room Sharing all her lonely years Feeding on her secret tears But you don't see I'm there My hand rocking the baby chair There with her to the end I'm her invisible friend They say it's all in her head But I'm her invisible friend! Her parents were in disbelief But they had heard the floorboards creak It's just a childhood game, they'd say Her invisible friend had come to play I'm there in the dead of night There when she turns off the light In her room in shadows deep Watching over her now as she sleeps But you don't see I'm there My hand rocking the baby chair There with her to the end I'm her invisible friend They say it's all in her head But I'm her invisible friend! But you don't see I'm there My hand rocking the baby chair There with her to the end I'm her invisible friend They say it's all in her head But I'm her invisible friend! Her parents were in disbelief But they had heard the floorboards creak It's just a childhood game, they'd say Her invisible friend had come to play But you don't see I'm there My hand rocking the baby chair There with her to the end I'm her invisible friend They say it's all in her head But I'm her invisible friend! But you don't see I'm there My hand rocking the baby chair There with her to the end I'm her invisible friend They say it's all in her head But I'm her invisible friend!

Rise Or Fall 04:24
So, you all know why we're here tonight Gathered here amid the war and strife And why we should all make this sacrifice Not to run and hide, but stand and fight Together we will stand against the tyranny Our heads not bowed, but up in dignity The eyes of the world, they all will see We refuse to kneel, but rise in victory Follow me, into the lion's den Follow me, into the dragon's mouth Follow me, until the bitter end Won't you follow me? To the gates, the gates of Hell We will heed the call, the battle cry To where the bombs will drop and the bullets fly To where the fires rage up to the sky We will rise or fall, or live or die Follow me, into the lion's den Follow me, into the dragon's mouth Follow me, until the bitter end Won't you follow me? To the gates, the gates of Hell Together we will fight the tyranny Our heads not bowed, but up in dignity The eyes of the world, they all will see We refuse to kneel, but rise in victory Won't you follow me? Rise or fall!

On the edge of the night You're drawn to her pale blue light It's seems someone is there You hear her calling your name Beyond what your eyes can see Beyond what your heart can feel Beyond what your mind says is real On the edge of the night You're drawn to her pale blue light It's seems someone is there You hear her calling your name Her bioluminosity conceals Her bioluminosity you feel She's not an angel, but a devil from below Looking to steal your soul It's a trick of the light Her claws hidden from sight And you're losing control In the dawn you awake As one of the living dead And the voice that you hear Is her in your head Beyond what your eyes can see Beyond what your heart can feel Beyond what your mind says is real Her bioluminosity conceals Her bioluminosity you feel Her bioluminosity conceals Her bioluminosity you feel Revealed, your fate is sealed

Come closer children, listen if you please Gather 'round the fire, let the darkness cease You all know the tales, of ancient Greece Of brave Ulysess, and the golden fleece But a grander tale, yet told the least Is of Lucian inside, the belly The belly of the beast We sailed for four days and four nights But then, the wind died away And we lost the light of day We were stranded hundred miles from shore But we had no idea, what there was in store Then came the Leviathan Stretching from horizon to the horizon Enormous, two hundred miles or more Slowly it came from the south Opening its cavernous mouth And it swallowed our ship whole Come closer children, listen if you please Gather 'round the fire, let the darkness cease You all know the tales, of ancient Greece Of brave Ulysess, and the golden fleece But a grander tale, yet told the least Is of Lucian inside, the belly The belly of the beast Come closer children, listen if you please Gather 'round the fire, let the darkness cease You all know the tales, of ancient Greece Of brave Ulysess, and the golden fleece But a grander tale, yet told the least Is of Lucian inside, the belly The belly of the beast

Tear It Down 04:05
From your first step to your last breath Voices get louder and louder They pound their way deep into your brain From your teacher / supervisor From your mother and father But it's time for you to break free from your chains You can do what you want to do You can be who you want to be Nothing can stand in our way, hey! They tried to build a wall They tried to lock the door Nothing can stand in our way, hey! Day into night, night into day Yelling and preaching at you 'Til you're brainwashed and they're to blame Tell you how to act Tell you how to live But not by their example It's like they're trying to drive you insane You can do what you want to do You can be who you want to be Nothing can stand in our way, hey! They tried to build a wall They tried to lock the door Nothing can stand in our way, hey! Tear it down, break it down Break it down, tear it down From your first step to your last breath Voices get louder and louder They pound their way deep into your brain Day into night, night into day Yelling and preaching at you 'Til you're brainwashed and they're to blame You can do what you want to do You can be who you want to be Nothing can stand in our way, hey! They tried to build a wall They tried to lock the door Nothing can stand in our way, hey! You can do what you want to do You can be who you want to be Nothing can stand in our way, hey! They tried to build a wall They tried to lock the door Nothing can stand in our way, hey! Tear it down, break it down Break it down, tear it down

Infrared 03:00
Today we got a message Within a lightbeam Hidden in a spectrum Beyond our eyes can see Return of the creator Master of the light Deep within the scarlet Within the lightning strike The infrared! Descending from the heavens Coming down from the sky Bathed in iridescence On our knees we cry Did he come to save us? Or bring us to our doom? Within the ultraviolet To seal us in our tomb The infrared! See them all look to the skies Waiting for his light to appear The dawning that was foretold The time of infrared is here The infrared! See them all look to the skies Waiting for his light to appear The dawning that was foretold The time of infrared is here The infrared! Look to the sky Look for his light to appear The dawning that was foretold The time of infrared is here

Martial Law 03:56
Tanks in the streets, and our army's defeat To an ordered retreat, to their marching feet And we're left here to hide, like rats underground We live in fear, for our children are dear And the future's unclear, when the soldiers are near And from outside there now, they start to pound Scared to the core of what is in store From behind the door, there on the floor We're left to plead and beg them, for our lives And there they stood, treacherous hoods They ration the food, with nothing that's good And we do all we can now, just to survive We were shocked and traumatized From the horrors that we saw Is there now no hope for us? That we're under Martial Law? Martial Law! We were shocked and traumatized From the horrors that we saw Is there now no hope for us? That we're under Martial Law? Martial Law! We were shocked and traumatized From the horrors that we saw Is there now no hope for us? That we're under Martial Law? Martial Law!

Like a distant warning in the air Echoing across the frozen mountaintops A sound of sorrow and despair While icy fingers make your breathing stop Hear the wind scream As the snow falls It's not a dream You just heard the Yeti's call Hear the wind scream As the snow falls It's not a dream You just heard the Yeti's call In the Himalayas there's a tale About a snowman who's abominal If his mountain you dare to scale You'll die a death most horrible Hear the wind scream As the snow falls It's not a dream You just heard the Yeti's call Hear the wind scream As the snow falls It's not a dream You just heard the Yeti's call Hear the wind scream As the snow falls It's not a dream You just heard the Yeti's call Hear the wind scream As the snow falls It's not a dream You just heard the Yeti's call

Sledgehammer 03:56
Pounding metal, screaming in the night Loud guitars, rocking to the light With all the people, their faces shining bright We're only here to mosh, not to fight Sledgehammer! A wave of sound, stronger than the sea A raging fire, inside you and me Make a stand, to be or not to be We're only here to set the music free We're all here together No matter, whatever For metal, we all gather 'round Our goal has been sighted Together, united Opposition crushed by the sound Pounding metal, screaming in the night Loud guitars, rocking to the light With all the people, their faces shining bright We're only here to mosh, not to fight Sledgehammer! We're all here together No matter, whatever For metal, we all gather 'round Our goal has been sighted Together, united Opposition crushed by the sound Sledgehammer! Sledgehammer!

about

Juan Ricardo is already known to many loyal Pure Steel followers by his two bands Sunless Sky and Wretch. Now his third project will be released under the name BLIND CROSS. Guitarist is none other than Rocco Stellmacher (Gorgon Eyes, ex-Mind Odyssey), who composed and produced "Merciless Time" and is joined by Andy Korte and Matias Hörold (both Double Action). Powerful Heavy Metal with rich yet catchy melodies and a decent Hard Rock influence is something this band deliver in a very good way. The unique, striking voice of Juan enthralls as a masterpiece over the simple but effective riffs, that occasionally recall blissful early Accept.
