Track Lyrics
Metal Gods Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We've taken too much for granted
And all the time it had grown
From techno seeds we first planted
Evolved a mind of its own
Marching in the streets
Dragging iron feet
Laser beaming hearts
Ripping men apart
[Verse 2]
From off I've seen my perfection
Where we could do as we please
In secrecy this infection
Was spreading like a disease
Hiding underground
Knowing we'd be found
Fearing for our lives
Reaped by robot's scythes
[Chorus]
Metal Gods
Metal Gods
[Lead: Glenn]
[Chorus]
Metal Gods
Metal Gods
[Verse 3]
Machines are taking all over
With mankind in their command
In time they'd like to discover
How they can make their demand
Better be the slaves
To their wicked ways
But meeting with our death
Engulfed in molten breath
[Instrumental Outro]
Grinder Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Never straight and narrow
I won't keep in time
Tend to burn the arrow out of the line
Been inclined to wander
Off the beaten track
That's where there's thunder and the wind shouts back
[Chorus]
Grinder
Looking for meat
Grinder
Wants you to eat
[Verse 2]
Got no use for routine
I shiver at the thought
Open skies are my scene that's why I won't get caught
Refuse to bait the mantrap
Be led to set the snare
I love to have my sight capped everywhere
[Chorus]
Grinder
Looking for meat
Grinder
Wants you to eat
[Lead: Glenn]
[Bridge]
I've held my licence
It came with birth
For self-reliance on this earth
You take the bullet
On which my name
Was etched upon in your game
[Verse 3]
Day of independence
Stamped us like a brand
Round the necks of millions to the land
As the mighty eagle
I need room to breath
Witness from the treadmill, I take my leave
[Chorus]
Grinder
Looking for meat
Grinder
Wants you to eat
[Chorus]
Grinder
Looking for meat
Grinder
Wants you to eat

Don’t Have to Be Old to Be Wise Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've had enough of being programmed
And told what I ought to do
Let's get one thing straight, I'll choose my fate
And it's got nothing to do with you
The years are flying by and it's time I got high
Took a sample of the good things in life
This is the chance I'm gonna take
Gonna kick out trouble and strife
[Chorus]
I've grown sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young, so what's wrong?
You don't have to be old to be wise
[Verse 2]
No, I don't care that the people stare
Accuse me of going mad
Just get a long hard look into the mirror
Then, tell me now who's been had
The way things are going I won't get to show 'em
Don't seem a lot of time, not to me
So it's off with the ties, no compromise
What it takes what it's like to be free
[Chorus]
I've grown sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young, so what's wrong?
You don't have to be old to be wise
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
I've grown sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young, so what's wrong?
You don't have to be old to be wise
[Verse 3]
Alright, I'm grabbin' the reins, holding the rope
Live and let live from now on
At last a free hand, no longer pre-planned
I got a will of my own
I go as I please, fend for myself
Pull all the stops, roll the dice
Out on my own, gonna go it alone
When I need it, then I'll ask for advice
[Outro]
You don't have to be old to be wise
You don't have to be old to be wise
You don't have to be old to be wise
You don't have to be old to be wise
You don't have to be old to be wise
You don't have to be old to be wise
You don't have to be old to be wise
Steeler Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Catch the play now, eye to eye
Don't let chances pass you by
Always someone at your back
Biding their time for attack
[Verse 2]
Check for decoys, stay sharp-edged
Double-crossers get your head
Carpetbaggers bluff and strike
Kiss of Judas, spider-like
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Waiting like jackals to sneak up and trick you
Wolves in sheep's clothing, so deft in consoling
Lurking in shadows, they pounce least expected
When you come to, they'll have gone right through you
[Verse 3]
Tricksters, jilters play their game
Sleight-of-handers, all the same
Masquerader in his lair
Wants to tangle in your hair
