1. The Shrine
THE SHRINE (6:51)
Music: A. Mitchell
Lyrics: M. Duffy
The shrine, are you waiting for a message
Disguised to form another image
In fear or in faith, pray for your salvation
Born to a time that�s heading for damnation
A symbol, a sign, a shrine that you can worship
They committed a crime, you�ll remember for all time
Don�t forgive, don�t forget, the time has come for punishment
In life and in death, the memory will always be
The cycle of the cross will return
To punish mankind once again
Remember for all eternity
Beware the cross you see
A man, a king, followed by the masses
Afraid of him, they commit the greatest sin
For the good for the bad, play the part in history
He must have been mad with the power that he had
The cycle of the cross will return
To punish mankind once again
Remember for all eternity
Beware the cross you see
The cycle of the cross will return
Hail the king, to punish mankind once again
Death to him, the cycle of the cross will return
Hail the king, to punish mankind once again
Hang him high, leave him to die
His revenge will never end
You will pay for your betrayal
Count the loss cursed by the cross
You will fear the sign
Plagued throughout all time
Fear the reign it will return
Change its form to be reborn
In disguise do you recognise
You command, there�s blood on your hands
You will fear the sign
Plagued throughout all time
Hang him high, leave him to die
His revenge will never end
You will pay for your betrayal
Count the loss cursed by the cross
Fear the reign it will return
Change its form to be reborn
In disguise do you recognise
You command, there�s blood on your hands
The shrine, are you waiting for the message
Disguised to form another image
In fear or in faith, pray for your salvation
Born to a time that�s heading for damnation
The plague, the cross, painted on the door
A mass grave cursed forever more
Humane or insane, they wait with bated breath
You�ll live to regret the symbol of death
The cycle of the cross will return
To punish mankind once again
Remember for all eternity
Beware the cross you see
Hail the king, death to him
Hail the king, death to him
Hail the king, death to him
Hail the king, death to him
2. Psychotic
PSYCHOTIC (5:46)
Music: A. Mitchell
Lyrics: M. Duffy
Death we long to see
Make dark subconscious reality
Death on your TV screen
Covered in blood, does it make you feel good
Death a suicide
The crowds cheer on just to see him die
Death you want more
Supply the need create war
There�s a darkside in your mind
If you look close you will find
You�re psychotic, hypnotic
You can�t tame the beast inside
The beast inside
Psychotic
Blood running through their veins
When the vein is cut the victim screams
Blood thirst to kill
You�re obsessed with this thrill
Blood found on your hands
You are a beast, can�t they understand
Blood you took their lives
Did it feel good, Jack the Knife
Twisted minds, evil crimes, it�s prime time
Victims of distortion, will you cross the line
Does sanity elude you, have you lost your mind
Kill without emotion, do you question why
Submit to mental torture, who�ll be next to die
Victims of distortion, will you cross the line
Does sanity elude you, have you lost your mind
Kill without emotion, do you question why
Submit to mental torture, who�ll be next to die
There�s a darkside in your mind
If you look close you will find
You�re psychotic, hypnotic
You can�t tame the beast inside
The beast inside
Psychotic
Kill, dressed to kill
Do as you want at your own free will
Kill, like an animal
It�s a cut throat jungle we live in
Kill or be killed
That�s what you�re taught in the army drill
Kill to survive
No one else is left alive
There�s a darkside in your mind
If you look close you will find
You�re psychotic, hypnotic
You can�t tame the beast inside
The beast inside
Psychotic
The beast inside
Psychotic
The beast inside
Inside your mind
3. Sword of Damocles
a certainty, no doubt, time is running out
time is endless but its the end
held against your will, its unbearable
there's no chance of escape
this your destiny its compulsory
for the martyr of the day
chained and tied on your knees, face the sword of damocles
no way out, no release, face the sword of damocles
you're the chosen one, nothing can be done
its too late you can't change fate
you now pay the price, human sacrifice
punishment from those who reign
chained and tied on your knees, face the sword of damocles
no way out, no release, face the sword of damocles
if this is the end, take me from this agony
i'm waiting in vain, there's no freedom for me
the sword commands, reign on down, rule this land
now the time has come, the deed must be done
the beginning of the end
impending circumstance, the final advance
your existence terminates
the sword commands, reign on down, you now die
4. Hammer to the Skull
5. Food of the Gods
6. Disciples
7. Last Breath of Life
8. Black is the Mask
9. Execution
