Deathstalker
05:57
|
|||
Through the old and dreary world
I ride, guided by my blade
Black desire and fearsome lust
An outlaw is free
I’m not your hero
Steal and kill to stay alive
Thirst for no glory
I ride alone and all beside me
Meet their death
I’m not your hero
And I’m no fool
I am the stalker the warrior of night
Call out my name I spit violence and woe
I am the stalker the warrior of night
Sword-rage unparalleled I run to the fight
No illusion will fear,
I’m blind to your trickery
Sword, chalice, and amulet
Three powers I will destroy
I’m not your hero
And I bring death!
I am the stalker the warrior of night
Call out my name I spit violence and woe
I am the stalker the warrior of night
With rage unparalleled I fight to survive
I’ll join the tournament of terror
Spill red blood upon white sand
I’m betrayed by my own comrade
I flex my chest and snap his neck
Wield the powers of creation
I’ll put an end to Munkar’s reign
I am the stalker, the warrior of night
My thirst for violence, forever unbound
I am the stalker, the warrior of night
Sword-rage unparalleled I rise
You’ll fear my name, I am the Deathstalker
Thirst not for power but for your demise
You’ll fear my name, I am the Deathstalker
Into the night this outlaw shall ride

The Claw is the Law
03:37
|

Riding hard
Into the downtown city lights
Cracking cans
Soon we’ll all be spoiling for a fight
Highway glare
The boys are rolling out tonight
Neon stare
Now you better run and hide
Don’t you know that the claw is the law?
Yeah, we’re living free tonight
Drinking hard in the long hot city nights
Oh, you know the claw is the law
Ain’t no laws tonight
Metal on our side
Ain’t no laws tonight
When you’re on the claws
Ain’t no laws tonight
Metal on our side
Going hard tonight
Step aside or die
Ain’t no laws tonight
When you’re on the claws
Don’t you know that the claw is the law?
Yeah, we’re living free tonight
Drinking hard in the long hot city nights
Don’t you know that the claw is the law?
Yeah, we’re living free tonight
Drinking hard in the long hot city nights
Yeah, you know the claw is the law

Fighting Spirits
04:25
|

Cannons crashing through silent dawn
Rolling thunder and the roar of guns
Load your muskets and fix bayonets
Over the edge no time to regret
War’s most potent weapon
In this bottle rests
Fighting Spirits
Fuel for glory
Drink deep and fight
Fighting spirits
Fuel for glory
Ride on and die
Brave or drunk
Chanting voices in the hall of hosts
Towards the bloody dawn we raise a toast
Swords drawn shields high
“To victory!”
Hauberks and capes stained in whiskey
Through the centuries
Dionysian rite
Fighting Spirits
Fuel for glory
Drink deep and fight
Fighting spirits
Fuel for glory
Ride on and die
Brave or drunk
Far beyond distant star lanes
In the wild galactic north
Solar cruisers in dry dock
Cargo manifest re-charge
Against alien nightmares
Stand 10,000 steel-clad souls
An extra ration of stim-synth for us all
Fighting Spirits
Fuel for glory
Drink deep and fight
Fighting spirits
Fuel for glory
fly on and die
Brave or drunk

Kings Who Die
04:38
|
|||
I am your humble servant
Your proud and mighty thane
But this dagger shines before me
Tempted by weird sisters three
To take the Crown and Glory
Let my dark ambition free
Impending fatal vision
Stabs through reality
The blood on my hands
Begets more blood
So it goes!
Something wicked comes to greet me
Yes! I am a god
What’s granted can be torn away
And so the dance goes on
These hands have seized and sealed my fate
Comes crashing down on me
We’re all kings who die
In this old foggy kingdom
Something vile n rotten lurks
My father’s death before me
Haunts me like a grinning ghost
I’ll wear the crown of madness
To make my own bloodline bleed
That one may smile and smile
And still a villain be
How noble is my reason?
Infinite my faculty?
Yet my own hesitation
Sinks its icy grip on me
I’ll stage a play of murder
Pantomime fatality
Reach out behind the curtain
Stab through reality
Yes! I am a god
What’s granted can be torn away
And so the dance goes on
These hands have seized and sealed my fate
Comes crashing down on me
Yet vengeance hunts for thee
Before the poison hits you will taste my steel
We’re all kings who die
No! No more a god
No quarter asked, none given
And so the dance goes on
These hands have seized and sealed my fate
Comes crashing down on me
Yet vengeance hunts for thee
Before the poison hits you will taste my steel
We’re all kings who die

In at the Death
05:16
|
|||
Unearthed on distant rock
Relic of the low Transcend
Malign intelligence
Eclipse the Straumli Realm
We fly from Relay’s fall
With final Countermeasure
Blessed by the Old One’s touch
Pursued across the heavens
In at the death
Ten thousand ships fight side by side
In at the death
Fly on for our last hope
The Blighter fleet arrayed
Tracing our ultradrives
Slow Zone, we can’t outrun
All friendly ships, hail!
Our message is received
Survivors from Sjandra Kei
What’s left of humanity
Joins battle, guns at the ready
In at the death
Ten thousand ships fight side by side
In at the death
We’ll die for our last hope
In at the death
Ten thousand ships fight side by side
In at the death
We’ll turn the tide
In at the Death
The oath we’ve sworn will never die
In at the Death
Our glory will live on

Stranded by debt owed to the Crown
So far away, she’s heaven bound
On wings of steel back to the coast
Out from the land of sand and ghosts
Time for a drink got time to spare
But weary traveller beware
A friendly hand a smiling face
Another round will seal your fate
Each night you wake in fright
And see his shining eyes
This bullet is your ticket home
At the bottom of the world
A desert of wasted men
The Devil loves his hell
Go on, get up and place your bet lad
Flip the coin now face your fate
You know there’s no escape
These are the magisters of sin
A drunken laugh, the devil’s din
I see her watching me
A different taste for her debauchery
Greeting the morning in a haze
Another spectre pulled from the grave
Hair of the dog a welcome bite
Your lost in hell again tonight
Each night you wake in fright
And see his shining eyes
This bullet is your ticket home
At the bottom of the world
A desert of wasted men
The Devil loves his hell
Ride out, deep into the outback
Load up your gun and take your aim
Tonight there’s no escaping the beast in every man
Beneath the southern moonlight, something is rising
Waking the beast in every man
Go on mate, have another beer
There’s nothing to fear, you’re one of us now
Each night you wake in fright
And see his shining eyes
This bullet is your ticket home
At the bottom of the world
A desert of wasted men
The Devil loves his hell
Go on, have another pint mate
At the bottom of the world
A desert of wasted men
The Devil loves his hell
My home now
Gaze out at the burning sunrise
Blood runs over me
Pours so freely
Ruler in my own slice of hell

How Am I
04:59
|
|||
Do you know how I felt
When you left me alone?
I was going insane
Pain and lies, is all you left to me
Blood red eyes, I’m wounded now for life
So C'mon, C'mon,
Let's hit the road
Ride the wings of the wind
And let’s learn to fly
Side by Side,
Eyes on eyes
Pictures of my life
Flashing lights,
Breath of life
How am I?
I feel just fine…
Crashed my car,
Trashed a hotel room,
All just thinking of you
I still don't know how things had gone so wrong
Rebel nights, eternal life behind
Forever scars my heart & soul and mind
Side by Side,
Eyes on eyes
Pictures of my life
Flashing lights,
Breath of life
How am I?
I feel just fine…

Antigone
04:38
|
|||
(The Chorus:)
Battered and broken
He rots beneath the sun
Traitor to Theban rule
by decree he’ll decay
Born under doomed sign
A daughter of the damned
(Antigone:)
My brother’s burial
His honour must live on
For love, for duty
For my family’s pride
Your rule I’ll defy
(The Chorus:)
Daughter of Thebes
Martyred by Fate
Give your last breath
Death is your weapon tonight
No king by bloodshed
A coward left to rule
Wrapped in the robes of state
She stands against the fool
Law of Olympus
Against the law of Man
Immur’d in living tomb
A morbid fate at hand
(Haemon:)
For love, for duty
For the law divine
Please lord, spare my bride
(The Chorus:)
‘neath cover of darkness,
The city mourns the girl
Prophecy’s thread unfurled
Daughter of Thebes
Martyred by Fate
Give your last breath
Death is your weapon tonight
Enter the blind man
Prophet of the gods
(The Prophet Tiresias:)
Your sacrifice is tainted
By her blood
Go now release her
Or we’ll pay the price
Royal bloodline severed
By noose and knife
(The Chorus:)
Daughter of Thebes
Martyred by Fate
Give your last breath
Tragedy’s bloody price!
Death is your weapon tonight

Port of Saints
05:23
|

Far in the North
On the banks of the old river
Waits a town
Of rogues and temptresses
Place your bet
And gamble all your riches
In this poisoned land of plenty
Upon the seven hills
Neah palace of the priestly
Lie the graves of forgotten victims
Ancient heart
The blood is running dark
While spirits sing on through the trees
One more night
Pass another round
Beneath the streetlamp glow
In the Port of Saints
Remember when you die,
Though many years pass by,
Your soul rests in the river
Port of Saints
You can travel ‘cross the world
From coast of gold to sea of rage
But the compass guides you home
Each turning
In the night
with voices rising high
Sing a song for all the old time
Come take another swig
And watch dear faces smiling
Feel the river rotting in your veins
Cool night air, the wind between the trees
The North will call her saints to rest
One more night
Pass another round
Beneath the streetlamp glow
In the Port of Saints
Remember when you die,
Though many years pass by,
Your soul rests in the river
Port of Saints
