Don't Mess With Texas
04:05

When I’m havin’ a drink in my Cadillac
Light up a smoke it really takes me back
To a time that was different than it is today
When a hard working young man could make his own way
On the gulf coast, where the breakers crash
Up in the pan-handle, young guns will clash
You might get lucky in Kentucky
Stay away from the east side, and don’t mess with Texas
Don’t mess with Texas
I gotta get on the road and try to be a star
But at four bucks a gallon I won’t get very far
The taxman called, he’s after my dough
But all I wanna do is catch my last show
Don’t tread on me, cause I’ll fight back
Don’t try to tell me that I’ve got no class
You might not like the red state way
Just live free or die, and don’t mess with Texas
I gotta go to place where they’ll protect my rights
Fire my guns and rock ‘n’ roll all night
Been working so hard for such a long time
Blood, sweat, and tears just to make a dime
If you got into trouble and you’re on the run
Find a good place to hide in the Mexican sun
You might not like the car I drive
Never saddle a dead horse, and don’t mess with Texas
Don’t mess with Texas
Don’t mess no
Oh yeah don’t fuck with Texas

Defiant
06:37
|

They have killed our wives, and raped our daughters
The old and the sick have all been maimed and slaughtered
A new order, with an evil tyrant at the helm
We have all been exiled to a foreign realm
Together we shall fight and part these waters
Everlasting faith and our will shall be remembered
A modern world, occupied with destruction
Many will die but we shall all overcome
We are defiant
We are the brave
Destined to die
Or be enslaved
Pillar of fire
Show us the way
Save us from torment
We keep the faith
Women and our children must be brave
Our souls will be cleansed and our lives will be saved
Lost possessions, enemies they draw so near
Our homeland has become a place we all fear
God will pass his final judgement
Day of reckoning, fearful and alone
Horsemen of death and a storm are coming near
It has been written, lightning cast it into stone
We are defiant
We are the brave
Destined to die
Or be enslaved
Pillar of fire
Show us the way
Save us from torment
We keep the faith
Defiant till the end
Make this final stand
We will fight and be strong
Or they will kill us all
Escaped with our lives and we escaped the torture
Blood-stained past, an unspeakable horror
Forced to wander aimlessly into the wild
Harsh elements, we will wallow in the mire
The day will come when we topple giants
Strength will come because we are defiant
We have been chosen to rule over these rich lands
Gruesome battles, blood will spill in eastern sands
We are defiant
We are the brave
Destined to die
Or be enslaved
Pillar of fire
Show us the way
Save us from torment
We keep the faith

Lost My Soul
04:31
|
|||
I’m sitting here lost and wasted
I got no face, I got no soul
In this city of lights and madness
Everybody's looking for their soul
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Daddy needs a new pair of new shoes
Roll them dice and flip them cards
Jack on the river it ain't so hard
Dark and cold, I have lost my soul
Now I know that I have lost my soul
So many people are dead inside
We don’t live, we just survive
In this world of feats and wonders
We toil while they plunder
Empty promises, full of lies
They live while we die
Hard to take what they give
Cause we sleep while they live
Lost control, and I have lost my soul
I’m sitting here lost and wasted
I got no face, I got no soul
In this city of lights we’re chasing
Everyone's looking for that gold
I jumped the shark, I bet the farm
I blew it all, man, I went too far
Roll them dice and flip them cards
Jack on the river it ain't so hard
I’ve been told that I have lost my soul

Medusa
05:29

Back in dreams, a thousand years
Cover me in blood-stained tears
Turn to stone, I glance at you
Piercing eyes enable you
Many souls have come before
Calling at your temple door
Other warriors, frozen in stone
Fear myself for what is known
You’re a titan, I’m a fool
Here we meet in this final duel
Cry for mercy, a thousand fold
Paid no heed and I was told
Cross the Styx, paid my fare
Cry for mercy, face the nightmare
Darkness bends shadowy twists
Saw your form in evening mists
Now I have you, you are mine
Feel this glory as sweet as wine
Know it’s right, I feel you now
Slash my sword and cut you down
Cross the Styx, paid my fare
Cry for mercy, face the nightmare
Medusa you’re mine
Medusa you’re mine
The beast with the killer eyes
Medusa you’re mine
Medusa you’re mine
The beast with the killer eyes
The killer with the fiery eyes
Prepare for your demise
Severed head, the Kraken wakes
Seas they rise, the earth will shake
Poseidon and Zeus they wait
Face your fears and seal your fate
Perseus, be swift be bold
Paid the price with witch’s gold
Cross the Styx, paid my fare
Cry for mercy, face the nightmare

Miracle Metal
04:43
|

I am the man who stopped the motor of the world
A destroyer under the sign of the dollar
I swear by my life and my love of it
I will never live my life for the sake of another man
Punished for ability
Punished for knowledge
This is insanity
We are the hunted
Forged in fire, the Miracle Metal
Taken by force, the Miracle Metal
I will destroy this world full of looters
Who search and crave an un-earned greatness
Trains they stop rolling
Oil stops flowing
Burning desire
Fuelling the fire
Driving the industry
Driving the power
Un-godly tragedy
This darkest hour
Armed with nothing but meaningless phrases
Reducing men to docile animals
No more values, only social customs
Nothing more than a collection of chemicals
Don’t try to question
Don’t try to struggle
Nothing else matters
Total disaster
Forged in fire, the Miracle Metal
Taken by force, the Miracle Metal

City Of Refuge
03:43

Offer sacrifice for life
Do not pay the dog’s price
Immolated to Molech
Heathens consume their own flesh
City of Refuge
Seek the Asylum
Sacred ones hold your ground
City of Refuge
Seek the Asylum
Avengers hunt you down
Dogs of war, an angel of mercy
Hounds of hell fulfill their glory
Asmodeus gives a false lament
Pagan rites lead only to death
City of Refuge
Seek the Asylum
Sacred ones hold your ground
City of Refuge
Seek the Asylum
Avengers hunt you down
Send the fire and worms in their flesh
Chase the wind, the dust of death
Evil kings with evil plots
Corpses of their criminals rot
City of Refuge
Seek the Asylum
Sacred ones hold your ground
City of Refuge
Seek the Asylum
Avengers hunt you down

Enemy's Blood
02:44
|
|||
Strike down the people
Worshipping gods made from human hands
Echoes of a prophecy
Lead us to the Promised Land
Down through the river
Straight through the valley of the dead
We will tear down their walls
And bathe in our Enemy’s Blood
An eye for an eye
Skin for skin
No redemption
For your sins
Pool of fire
Sounds of wailing and grinding of teeth
We will tear down their walls
And bathe in our Enemy’s Blood
The just shall rejoice
To see the vengeance
Dogs lap up the blood of the wicked
Raise up your horns
Lay your feet on your enemy’s neck
We will tear down their walls
And bathe in our Enemy’s Blood

Am I The Iceman?
05:15
|
|||
I’ve been betrayed
My heart is blackened
My soul decays
From what has happened
Life on display
A crime of passion
Dark masquerade
Unholy fashion
You don’t know
You don’t see
My agony
My destiny
Veiled in mystery
This misty marshland
Rebels of the sea
Am I the Iceman?
What is my name
Zabeth à Pézo
An un-marked grave
Except for Jérôme
Now you know
My true name
Secrecy
Is my fate
I traveled so far where you found me here
I can’t explain the pain I feel
Washed ashore legs cut from my knees
Can’t take anymore I beg you please
You took me in as a hopeless case
Ever since the day my life was erased
I’ve never spoken a word to you
I hope you know that I loved you
The secret I bear can be seen through my tears
Legend of my name lives on through the years

For seven years I haven’t aged a day
And struck fears in the hearts of men
I dance with your women to the Devil’s fiddle
A pact with the Devil is the price I paid
I’m a sorcerer of evil
And all that’s not pure
I ride like the wind by the pale moonlight
From town to town on a mysterious white horse
When the night falls, please say your prayers
I take many forms, do please beware
A bloodthirsty dog breathing hell’s fire
Screams of fear are my one desire
Majestic white horse who roams through the night
A great violent bear who’s sure to attack
If you travel with me please hold on tight
If Lucifer walks by I’ll jump on his back
I don’t know why you’re so easily fooled
I know my ways, they sometimes seem cruel
It makes me laugh to see you running away
I’m just a man trying to live for today
I’ll take you on a journey on a piece of bark
Boston in a flash as we travel through the dark
Don’t know where to run to, don’t know where to hide
But you’ll remember running for your lives
I travel through forests and over the seas
Superstitions have surrounded me
Supernatural powers, the truth’s in the wine
Come on over, we’ll have a good time
I’m a womanizer and a gambler
I’m the Devil’s shoemaker
Bootlegging’s been my profession
And you don’t need an invitation
For seven years I haven’t aged a day
People fear to speak my name
They dance to Lucifer’s fiddle
Lord knows I’m the one to blame
I’m a sorcerer of evil
I’m out of control
The holy catholic church
Exorcised the demon to save my soul
