1. Madame Guillotine
Running through the streets
The silence is haunting you
You know they prepare for attack
Can't walk around, I got to beware
Keep in the dark, out of sight
Got to keep running, time's running out
Beware of the knife in your back
Victim of hate, no one believes
Who cares what is wrong or what is right
Bridge
Screaming vengeance, I want to be free
Murder or treason, what's it to be
Chorus
Stand and stare so silently
Death awaits so patiently
Priest approach, the rites are read
Wait and see, the blade will fall
Running like hell and into the night
Wait 'til the time is just right
People are screaming out for revenge
The price is a life for a life
Fighting and screaming, bodies lie bleeding
Fires burn into the night
Years of restraint begin to decay
It's the law of the knife
Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus
The tide of power has turned
Now you are screaming don't let me die
Silently you fall down to your knees
Scream that charges are lies
Solo
It's too late now, the angel of death hangs over you
Tears fill my eyes, you hear the blade slide
You're going to die
2. Break Out
Stare through the window, a cold and empty cell
Recalling all the fear I feel about this night
Time's standing still, my spirit's running low
I'm not afraid to die but I know the end's in sight
Bridge
Another prisoner trapped inside these walls
Tell me that I'm dreaming, I hear them call my name
Chorus
Danger, danger, breakout, breakout
danger, danger, breakout, breakout
Siren's screaming out, searchlights burn my eyes
My body's aching, the dogs are on my trail
Tears in my eyes, roadblocks up ahead
Somebody's screaming, the dead men tell no tales
Repeat bridge
Repeat chorus
Solo
Repeat chorus
3. Meanstreak
Standing in the shadows, evil smile upon his face
Today he's on top but tomorrow he'll be down
He strikes for vengeance then he's gone without a trace
Mark my words, he'll be back, no time to lose
Bridge
Play into his hands, it's no good turning back
One look into his eyes, a face that twists your mind
Chorus
Mean streak
He's got a mean streak
Oh mean streak
A mean streak
Acting like a child but he walks the road to ruin
Steal everything you've got, then throw your life away
When he gives a helping hand, do you know what he's doing
He's got the power to make things work, it's part of his plan
Bridge
Chorus
Solo
Bridge
Chorus
4. Highway Passion
Screaming with pleasure, wind tears your flesh
Power within your grasp, burn into the night
Smell of death and danger, keeps you driving on
Engines hot and hungry, ride again tonight
Bridge
Face bleeding with pain when will it end
Are you afraid of dying tonight
Your lights shining bright
Will you ever change your ways
Just live for today
Chorus
Heads down, how many times, highway passion
Heads down, how many times, highway passion
Heads down, how many times, highway passion
Heads down, how many times, highway passion
Tear out your heart, a voice inside you laughs
Stare in the face of death, this time you can't defy
No one to turn to know, your life is on the line
It's not a crazy dream, I hear you screaming why
Bridge
Chorus
Solo
Chorus
5. Death On Mainstreet
