Adrenaline coursing inside me
Twisting the throttle, I increase my speed
I’m passing those all around me
The feel of the wind is just what I need
I thrive on the sound of the engine
It sounds like a demon out hunting its prey
The feel of the ground underneath me
The grip of the rubber as I make my way
Basking in the thrill (basking in thrills)
As I get my fill (I get my fill)
Lean on every turn, I feel alive
Ride on, pushing the limits
No fear, onward I ride
Like a falcon up high, soaring majestically throughout the sky
Drive on, feeling the freedom
As I ride on the wind
Savor each moment in time
None can deter you when you live to ride
There’s nothing on earth that can stop me
Feeling the power that cannot be matched
There’s no one out there that can top me
There is no driver that I cannot catch
Feeling the urge to go faster
Hearing the sound of the engine increase
Out here where I am the master
Within the chaos I find inner peace
Basking in the thrill (basking in thrills)
As I get my fill (I get my fill)
Lean on every turn, I feel alive
Ride on, pushing the limits
No fear, onward I ride
Like a falcon up high, soaring majestically throughout the sky
Drive on, feeling the freedom
As I ride on the wind
Savor each moment in time
None can deter you when you live to ride
Free from the cage, feel the sun beating down
Warming your leather as you tear up the ground
Every ride an adventure, alert and aware
On a horse made of metal, there’s no other care
Ride on, pushing the limits
No fear, onward I ride
Like a falcon up high, soaring majestically throughout the sky
Drive on, feeling the freedom
As I ride on the wind
Savor each moment in time
None can deter you when you live to ride

The Chase
05:32
|

Run with all your might, heart is pumping fast
Ever growing fright, how long will you last
Nowhere left to hide, there’s no way to fight
Fear growing inside as you face your plight
How can this be?
Is this the end?
Is there no way to escape this terror?
Try as you might to outrun me
You know deep inside it’s futile
Many have tried, none succeeded
You know in the end
I will take you down
Still you struggle on, you will never yield
Like a noble soldier on a battlefield
Sweat pours down your face as you feel the burn
Pure determination nut soon you will learn
This is the end
Your fate is sealed
There is no way to escape this terror
Try as you might to outrun me
You know deep inside it’s futile
Many have tried, none succeeded
You know in the end
I will take you down
Hope in decline, you start to fade
Weakened resolve as your spirit dwindles away
Look deep within for one last ounce of power
To make one last try, knowing to stop means you will die
Try as you might to outrun me
You know deep inside it’s futile
Many have tried, none succeeded
You know in the end
I will take you down
I am unlike any other
I’m relentless, I’m unyielding
Ultimately I defeat all
Taker of all life… I am father time

Dehumanized
05:38
|

|
Blinded by lies, cunning deceptions
Behind your eyes there’s no redemption
Dishonesty is all you’ve shown me
Had I known then what I know now
Twisting your words, manipulation
All that I heard, pure fabrication
Morality seems to escape you
You had me fooled, much to my despair
I had been blind
Did not see
Through all the lies I foolishly believed
But not anymore
Now I see your ways
I’ve regained control
You no longer have influence over me
I am free
And I shall remain
And by you I will be not deceived any more
Caused me such pain, you brought me sorrow
Nothing remained, no hope for tomorrow
You treated me like some piece of garbage
Dehumanized, used then thrown away
Damage was done, left me to suffer
But I survived, I became tougher
Then you returned to fill me with more lies
You were the fool, this time you would pay
My time has come
Now I see
Through your lies and treachery
You will suffer now
You should have stayed away
Vengeance will be mine
You will feel the same pain you bestowed on me
Taste my wrath
Writhe in agony
Knowing that by you I’ll be deceived no more
Now you see
Your mistake was to think me a fool
Pay the price for what you’ve done
In the end, you’re the one who will lose
So you see… I’ve regained control
You no longer have influence over me
I am free
And I shall remain
And by you I will be not deceived
Victory… vengeance will be mine
You will feel the same pain you bestowed on me
Taste my wrath
Writhe in agony
Knowing that by you I’ll be deceived
So you see… I’ve regained control
You no longer have influence over me
I am free
And I shall remain
And by you I will be not deceived
Victory… vengeance will be mine
You will feel the same pain you bestowed on me
Taste my wrath
Writhe in agony
Knowing that by you I’ll be deceived no more

Burden Of Proof
05:17
|

|
You make quite the astonishing claim
You state things that are hard to believe
Avow all must adhere to the things you hold true
Refuse to take on any debate
All views different from yours label hate
And now we all must follow your illogical rules
Where is your proof?
Show me something I can believe
I’ll not just take you at your word
Show me all your evidence
Proof is what I need from you now
Prove it to me
That what you claim is actually beyond all doubt true
Burden of proof falls on him who makes the claim
It’s not my job to prove you are wrong
Let’s not act as if it’s true until proven false
Shifting the burden of proof doesn’t work
The more extraordinary is the claim, the proof must also exist without doubt
It’s not self-evident as you seem to assume
Where is your proof?
Show me something I can believe
I’ll not just take you at your word
That would be absurd
I see through your ploy
Using smoke and mirrors to avoid questions and critique
Logical fallacies are your game but that won’t work on me
Where is your proof?
Show me all your evidence
Proof is what I need from you now
Prove it to me
That what you claim is actually beyond all doubt true
Burden of proof falls on him who makes the claim

Since the dawn of time there are those who try
To destroy all the things that bring us joy
I’ve seen throughout history green-eyed jealousy
Rears its ugly head to the world
Spreading outward like a poison
Killing all things with its touch
Wanting nothing more than to destroy
We will stand together
We will all stand strong
In the name of Metal we will raise our voice in song
To support each other
Side by side and proud
Let them hear our Thunder as we blast the music loud… We rise!
They’ll try to dissuade
They’ll try to divide
They know that they cannot defeat us if we stand united
But we will not fall
For such trickery
We can see through their treachery
If they really thought that we would fall for such a foolish ploy
They have underestimated us
We will stand together
We will all stand strong
In the name of Metal we will raise our voice in song
To support each other
Side by side and proud
Let them hear our thunder as we blast the music loud… We rise!
Loud as thunder, fast as lightning
Pure unrivaled power
Feel it surging deep inside you
On their knees they cower as we rise
We will stand together
We will all stand strong
In the name of Metal we will raise our voice in song
To support each other
Side by side and proud
Let them hear our thunder as we blast the music loud
We will stand together
We will all stand strong
In the name of Metal we will raise our voice in song
To support each other
Side by side and proud
Let them hear our thunder as we blast the music loud… We rise!

Stand My Ground
04:50
|

They try to control our lives, telling us how to be
Wanting to rule our very thoughts
Claim that they’ve been victimized while they terrorize
But I can see right through their lies
Many are brainwashed and fall for their bullshit
The mindless fools taking up their cause
I won’t be swayed I will hold true my values and by their rules I won’t be bound
I will accept any challenge they offer and I will not be pushed around
I’ll stand my ground
Through coercion, fear and shame
Looking to place the blame on anyone who won’t conform
Hate toward the marginalized, the weak and disenfranchised
Time has come for us to rise
Calling for justice against disagreement
As if it’s their right to stand unopposed
I won’t be swayed I will hold true my values and by their rules I won’t be bound
I will accept any challenge they offer and I will not be pushed around
I’ll stand my ground
Crying out with such false outrage and no sense of shame
The oppressors cry oppression, cruelty is their game
Spreading lies and faking stories, they manipulate
Time has come to rise against them, we won’t hesitate
We will take them down
I won’t be swayed I will hold true my values and by their rules I won’t be bound
I will accept any challenge they offer and I will not be pushed around
I won’t be swayed I will hold true my values and by their rules I won’t be bound
I will accept any challenge they offer and I will not be pushed around
I’ll stand my ground

In Memory

Just another day, same as most before
Nothing to mark it as unique
Never would have guessed how different it would be
Shocked by the news that cut so deep
I could not believe, it must not be true
Perhaps this was some big mistake
Someone got it wrong or maybe spoke too soon
Perhaps the story is a fake
Started making calls, trying to get through
And finally, I reached someone who confirmed the news… that you’re gone
How can this be?
This feels so wrong, I can’t believe
You’re far too young, it’s so unfair
You left us all with a pain too much to bear
You had always been just so full of life
The good in you, it knew no bounds
You were so warm and kind, always with a smile
Most caring friend I ever found
You had everything, the envy of the world
Your talent would inspire all
And yet so down to earth despite all your success
You came so far and stood so tall
I still cannot believe, I cannot process this
My brain just won’t accept that you’re no longer here
You are gone
How can this be?
This feels so wrong, I can’t believe
You’re far too young, it’s so unfair
You left us all with a pain too much to bear
No!
Now you’re gone
How can this be?
This feels so wrong, I can’t believe
You’re far too young, it’s so unfair
You left us all with a pain too much to bear
No!

The Demon Barber
06:19

For fifteen years I’d been imprisoned
Taken from everything I loved
An evil judge full of corruption
He framed me so that he could gain opportunity to my wife and child
But she would not give in to him
Then one day she would fall in his trap
Faced a fate worse than death
Due to the horrors he inflicted she would attempt to take her life
She would take poison just to end it all
The poison only took her mind, she went insane
And so my daughter would be raised by the vile man himself
As time passed, she matured
This vile man made the choice to marry her
I’ve returned just in time to avenge all I’ve lost
Put a stop to this crime
He’ll die by my hand with my razor
Make him bleed, end him
I must plan how to get him in my chair where he’ll die
Soon, time will come for revenge
But then fate brought her here
And in a flash swung my blade
Unbeknownst that I just killed my wife

Master Of The Sky
05:48
|

In a land far away and uncharted, in cavern far beneath the earth
Lies a creature of might like no other of ancient birth
For hundreds of years in a slumber with nothing disturbing its sleep
This creature rests easy in the darkness of his cavern so deep
But now something has come along to cause it to stir (the dragon wakens now)
Its eyes open slowly as it starts to rise, spreads its wings to fly
Into the air again
On leathery wings the dragon soars on high
As it climbs it lets off a mighty roar
The time has come once again for the dragon to fly
Master of the sky
It scours the lands of the kingdom in search of the king’s enemies
To bring devastation to them, make them drop to their knees
It spots them ahead in the distance, a bloodthirsty invading horde
Preparing to bring devastation with arrow and sword
The dragon begins to descend on the enemy below (soon it will unleash hell)
Its foes start to panic and run for their lives as death comes from the sky
Hundreds are burned alive
Its fiery breath raining down, they scream as they die
As it flies it lets off a mighty roar
It knows that they don’t stand a chance from the dragon on high
Master of the sky
On it flies into the air again
On leathery wings the dragon soars on high
As it climbs it lets off a mighty roar
The time has come once again for the dragon to fly
Master of the sky
Hundreds are burned alive (hundreds are burned alive)
Its fiery breath raining down, they scream as they die (screaming as they die)
As it flies it lets off a mighty roar (lets off a mighty roar)
It knows that they don’t stand a chance
From the dragon on high
Master of the sky

The Dragon Has Fallen
06:48

We lived in peace, safe and secure throughout the kingdom
We’d nothing to fear, thanks to our king who protects our land
But then to our surprise, could not believe our eyes
An evil horde invades our homeland
Some take up sword to fight while others take flight
Holding back our fear we make our stand
As we prepare to face our foes, we wonder how this came to be
And with a mighty battle cry we charge to crush our enemy
We must fight alone
Our savior is gone
Reliance on ourselves
How will we survive?
No protector to save us now
We push them back, we see them retreating
But we know they will return
Many have died, others lie bleeding
The dragon’s fate is yet unlearned
We must persevere
We send out scouts in hopes to find the fate of our beloved savior
We lie in wait as we prepare for the next attack that we are sure will come
A scout returns with tragic news, our mighty savior has fallen
So now we know beyond all doubt we stand alone
There is no one who can help up, who can help us
Who can help us now?
We must fight alone
Our savior is gone
Reliance on ourselves
We know we’ll survive
No protector is needed now
