2. Welcome to Hell
I, I bid you welcome
On earth, this maltreated place
Home, home of destruction
Facing insanities' trace
Money, money's the idol
The altar, holy ikon of man
Facing the truth of a place you never should be
Here comes the warning, the warning you get for free
Welcome, welcome, welcome to hell
Demons' terror is waving its spell
Welcome, welcome, welcome to hell
Visions, nightmares are fit to tell, welcome to hell
Soul feeding the gear
Victims of obedient trust
Slaves working their ass off
Reward, to bite the dust
Pre...
Say, say farewell
Flee, rushing headlong fast
Pre & Chorus...
3. Bad to the Bone
Fifty years ago with the world at war
Hands bloodied - devastated
Better believe they're back for more
Pounding the world with a fist of steel
Jack booted, heavy handed
Careless of the pain we feel
Bastards - throwing life away
Killers - alive today
Oh oh oh oh
Don't tell no lies
I see through your eyes
You're bad to the bone
Oh oh oh oh
Don't tell no lies
You can't hear the cries
'Cos you're bad to the bone
Times have changed but he don't know
Zoot suit, black tie
Careless that the lies are low
One for all and all for one
Talking smooth - hidden truth
Time bomb ticking just begun
Standing alone for the world to see
Non-starter - push harder
He still believes his time will come
Small wonder - old thunder
Can't he see that he's wrong!?
4. Lead or Gold
Riding the tempests of glory
The vessel is gliding along
Pounding the waves, majestically
Proudly and strong
A flag flutters on the horizon
The plunder ready-to-hand
The gunners are ready to fire
Awaiting command
Pounding the sea, like a storm
Wild and free
Obeying our call, fast and raw
The air sparks thunder and lightning
Their bellies are shivered with fear
We showered their cold hearted souls
With sarcastic sneer
Our cohorts are for seizing
The skull and the crossbones fly high
We're talking over your vessel
Whatever you try
Pounding the sea, like a storm
Wild and free
Obeying our call, fast and raw
Lead or gold, we're daring our fate
On the wings of the sea
Lead or gold, cursing all the
Conformists who'll never be free
Guns spitting iron and fire
Acid smoke clouding the air
Ripping the planks
Feeding the flame of despair
Hoisting the flag of surrender
Delivering their silver and gold
A generous gift to the poor
For the brothers they sold
Pounding the sea, like a storm
Wild and free
Obeying our call, fast and raw
Lead or gold, we're daring our fate
On the wings of the sea
Lead or gold, cursing all the
Conformists who'll never be free
5. Riding the Storm
Breaking the waves, a ride on the wild raging sea
Playing with fortune, oh, what a lust to be free
Flashlights and thunder, the pattering rain on the hull
From a stormy horizon we get our course
The cry of freedom
Face in the wind , we're riding the storm
We'll stay our course whatever will come
Wandering souls in the sea of the damned
Death or glory, oh, oh we're riding the storm
Cracks in the planks, the rigging upwards and down
Staggering masts, the pounding splash of the prow
The wind in our sails, our flag flies high on the top
From a stormy horizon we get our course
The cry of freedom
Face in the wind , we're riding the storm
We'll stay our course whatever will come
Wandering souls in the sea of the damned
Death or glory, oh, oh we're riding the storm
6. When Time Runs Out
Now! The age of falling
The final hours of the world we see
Here! Fate is calling
The horror of a longtold prophecy
Time! Is running short now
To find out if mankind's fit to learn
Down! Soul-destruction
If pride is blindand stuns the will to turn
The final hours, the final night
The final trial if you'll stand the light
When time runs out
When the sky comes down
When the ball will burst
When it shakes the ground down to the core
War! The bombs are falling
Brother kills thy brother endlessly
Death! Massive destruction
A mess of blood that stains the boiling sea
Pre
Chorus
Leadbreak Rolf
Trapped! A poisoned world view
That is so blind that it will never make you see
Feel! Trust in yourself
And universal truth will hit you finally
Pre
Chorus
7. The Brotherhood
Cold and rapacious we rule it all
The demon crushing your chest
We watch your despair, your struggle of life
We bet on who's coming best
Increasing our fortune, choking your breath
Living on our Cockaigne
We steal from the poor to feed on the rich
With caviar, diamonds, champaigne
We are sucking your life and your blood
War, the bloody lucrative tool
To work on your doubts and fear
Gold, we sold our soul onto
The greedy and cold profiteer
Ruling the world with a stick and a carrot
Slavery's our believe
Juggle with intrigues, justice is blind
Never giving reprief
Brothers in arms, your arm feels the needle
The poison injecting the fear
We render homage to the evil inside us
The demon, the cold profiteer
Pre...
Chorus...
We take what we get to get what it takes
To work on your doubts and fear
"Gimme the headline, I´ll give you the war"
The greedy and cold profiteer
8. Soulless
Spineless and false you are creeping through time
Your flag's turning with the wind, your advantage is prime
Feathering your nest is your one and only law
Treachery and fraud is the sense that you are living for
Living on a lie, a mind-killing spell
You'll never ever learn cause you're living in your self-made hell
You 're soulless, when the fire of evil burns in your heart
You're soulless, cause hate and greed's gonna tear you apart
The sledgehammer method is the way in which you act
You double-cross and cheat, you never show respect
Spider-like you crawl, you spin your web of lies
Eternally you'll lose, cause the truth will rule the dice
Living on a lie, a mind-killing spell
You'll never ever learn cause you're living in your self-made hell
You 're soulless, when the fire of evil burns in your heart
You're soulless, cause hate and greed's gonna tear you apart
Conceited and dense, imposture is your call
Self destructed-clown, imbecility is your fall
Reality and truth cut you down to size
Duck your rotten head, be prepared to pay the price
Living on a lie, a mind-killing spell
You'll never ever learn cause you're living in your self-made hell
You 're soulless, when the fire of evil burns in your heart
You're soulless, cause hate and greed's gonna tear you apart
You 're soulless, when the fire of evil burns in your heart
You're soulless, cause hate and greed's gonna tear you apart
You're soulless
You're soulless, heart of stone
You're soulless
You're soulless, bad to the bone
9. Blazon Stone
Like an hawk-eyed eagle, we're cruising on our raid
Our dogged pride will never fade
Born-free we're still sailing the seven stormy seas
No-one will force us to our knees
Stand tight, we'll fight the fear and pain
United force
Blazon stone, power and hope to the slave
Blazon stone, a mascot to the tortured
Blazon stone
Break the chains of torment
Madness causing pain
Can't be the fate that rules the game
Corruption, hate and treason the evil we must fight
United we will stand the night
Stand tight, we'll fight the fear and pain
United force
Blazon stone, power and hope to the slave
Blazon stone, suppression, we'll send to the grave
Blazon stone, we spit into the face of death
Blazon stone, a mascot to the tortured
Blazon stone
They demonize our pride, blood on blood, we can't submit
We battle side by side, like a pounding ram that hit their head
Their man-o-war shall burn
Mr. Mortis reaps his seed the point of no return
Slanderous lies we will defeat
Stand tight we'll fight the fear and pain
United force
Blazon stone, power and hope to the slave
Blazon stone, suppression we send to it's grave
Blazon stone, we spit in the face of death
Blazon stone, a mascot to the tortured
Blazon stone
10. Under Jolly Roger
Weigh anchor, hoist the sails
Cruisin' for booty on watery trails
No exploiter we see can still sail on
Our cannons fire till his ship goes down
Fly our flag, we teach them fear
Capture them, the end is near
Firing guns they shell burn
Surrender or fight there's no return
Under Jolly Roger
Venerable scoundrels, no blood on our hands
Our engagement are tough, but only for defence
Carefully we sail around the reefs
To force those die-hards to their knees
Fly our flag, we teach them fear
Capture them, the end is near
Firing guns they shell burn
Surrender or fight there's no return
Under Jolly Roger
Coming through the waves to free all the captives
Boarding the vessels we know all the tactics
We're the menace, the curse of the sea
We pulverize the men'o'war pay or flee
Fly our flag, we teach them fear
Capture them, the end is near
Firing guns they shell burn
Surrender or fight there's no return
Under Jolly Roger
