Track Lyrics
The Ripper Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're in for surprise
You're in for a shock
In London Town streets
When there's darkness and fog
When you least expect me
And you turn your back
I'll attack
[Verse 2]
I smile when I'm sneaking
Through shadows by the wall
I laugh when I'm creeping
But you won't hear me at all
[Refrain]
All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the Ripper
[Verse 3]
You'll soon shake with fear
Never knowing if I'm near
I'm sly and I'm shameless
Nocturnal and nameless
Except for "the Ripper"
Or, if you like, "Jack the Knife"
[Lead: Glenn]
[Verse 4]
Any back-alley street
Is where we'll probably meet
Underneath a gas lamp
Where the air's cold and damp
I'm a nasty surprise
I'm a devil in disguise
I'm a footstep at night
I'm a scream at the sight
[Refrain]
All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the Ripper
[Outro]
The Ripper
The Ripper
Deceiver Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Solar winds are blowing
Neutron star controlling
All is lost, doomed and tossed, at what cost forever
[Verse 2]
Meteors fly around me
Comets die, and then they
And then they, you wanna see how they try to surround me
I can say, here today, we shall stay forever
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
If you want to find us in a hurry
Oh let me tell you don't you worry
I can't say, here today, we shall stay forever
Tyrant Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Behold 'tis I the commander
Whose grip controls you all
Resist me not, surrender
I'll no compassion call
[Chorus]
(Tyrant) Captor of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous Destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall
[Verse 2]
Your very lives are held within my fingers
I snap them and you cower down in fear
You spineless things who belly down to slither
To the end of the world you follow to be near
[Chorus]
(Tyrant) Captor of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous Destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall
[Bridge]
Mourn for us oppressed in fear
Chained and shackled we are bound
Freedom choked in dread we live
Since Tyrant was enthroned
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I listen not to sympathy
Whilst ruler of this land
Withdraw your feeble aches and moans
Or suffer smite from this my hand
[Chorus]
(Tyrant) Captor of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous Destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Mourn for us oppressed in fear
Chained and shackled we are bound
Freedom choked in dread we live
Since Tyrant was enthroned
[Verse 4]
My legions faithful unto death
I'll summon to my court
And as you perish each of you
Shall scream as you are sought
[Chorus]
(Tyrant) Captor of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous Destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall
Genocide Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mercenary battalions
Are poised to strike us down
Terminations conquest
Upon us now full-grown
[Chorus]
Save me, my heart's open wide
Help me, no question of pride
Save me, my people have died
Total genocide
[Verse 2]
Devastation hungers
She waits to leap to earth
Imminent liquidation
Before the grand rebirth
[Chorus]
Save me, my heart's open wide
Help me, no question of pride
Save me, my people have died
Total genocide
[Interlude]
Sin after sin I have endured
Yet the wounds I bear are the wounds of love
[Bridge]
Frantic mindless zombies
Grab at fleeting time
Lost in cold perplexion
Waiting for the sign
Generations tremble
Clinging face to face
Helpless situation
To end the perfect race
[Verse 3]
Flashing senseless sabres
Cut us to the ground
Eager for the lifeblood
Of all who can be found
[Chorus]
Save me, my heart's open wide
Help me, no question of pride
Save me, my people have died
Total genocide
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Slice to the left, slice to the right
None to retaliate, none will fight
Chopping at the hearts, snuffing out the lives
This race departs and no one will survive
Heads to the feet, feet to the air
Souls in the soil, heavy in despair
End of all ends, bodies into dust
To greet death friends, extinction is a must
[Guitar Solo]
