               ENTER THE WARRIOR

               Sword and Shield, await thee now
               The Time has come, The Hammers crashing down
               Ride this night, for the Crown
               Take thy place upon the battle ground

               Twilight Gleaming
               Thou must Fight
               For thy Freedom
               Tis the Time

               Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done
               Is what they say to take the pain away
               When will they learn that pain is truth
               And God be manifested in thy Youth

               Twilight Gleaming
               Thou must Fight
               For thy Freedom
               Tis the Time

               Thou shallt pay for all thy Sins
               Hell awaits the blood tis thin
               Crimes of Gods and Man and Beast
               If Thou dost not pay, then Hell shall feast on thee.

               So ride, my son, through the snow
               If  thee be True, then thou shallt feel no blow
               For Gods own Grace rides with you
               And never underestimate the Fool

               Twilight Gleaming
               Thou must Fight
               For thy Freedom
               Tis the Time
 

             DEFENDER

               Defending my planet
               Is all that I do
               Hostile intruders
               Put there by you
               A mass invasion
               Coming down from the sky
               I'll come back fighting
               Even after I die
               Defender........Defender

               Living for dying
               My planet destroyed
               There's too many of them
               It's back to the void
               Defending my planet
               Is all that I do
               Won't somebody play me
               One quarter will do
               Defender........Defender
 

             QUEEN OF THE BLACK COAST

               Take me back, across the Sea
               Of Vilayet, to my Queen
               No kingdom hers, but for the Sea
               A coastal curse, a pirate's dream

               Scourge of the West coast
               Hellcat of my Dreams

               The Tigress sailed, the South so vast
               The Queen was hung from her own mast
               From winged death she did save
               My hardened soul, from the grave

               Funeral pyre forever
               Burning out to sea

               Queen of the Black Coast
               Watch as the heads roll
 

             METAL

               Blood of Life, flowing pure
              In honored Grace we shall endure
               Lords of War cast down on us
               Nine lives before the Incubus

               We praise the Blood that Metal brings
               The Essence of Creative Quality
               Is Life so pure we cannot seek
               Our Hopes, our dreams to make our fantasies Reality

               Chains of steel bind us here
               They seem so real till Death appears
               In Quest of Fate, of Love of Life
               It's not too late to know the Light

               We praise the Blood that Metal brings
               The Essence of Creative Quality
               Is Life so pure we cannot seek
               Our Hopes, our dreams to make our fantasies Reality

               Incisioned mind, ruined for all time
               In dark of night pursues the crime
               But Love be true even in Hell
               And Love of Life brings us Metal

               Blind as ever, they can't hear the bell
               They will suffer for the souls they sell
               Chains will never bind us to Hell
               To All Father we raise our swords and ride to Valhalla

               Heavy ..........METAL
                                    METAL
                                    METAL
 

             OUT OF CONTROL WITH ROCK & ROLL

               The Fire in my heart is burning ... out of control
               And I can't seem to stop this yearning ... for rock & roll
               I've tried to hold my feelings
               But when the music starts it sends my head a-reeling

               I'm Out of Control with Rock & Roll
               I'm Out of Control with Rock & Roll

               Take me through the frozen wastelands
               Just take me higher and higher
               So I can try and forget
               This hellbent raging desire

               I'm Out of Control with Rock & Roll
               I'm Out of Control with Rock & Roll

               Do It to Ya
               I don't know how this is happening
               I don't if this is Real
               I think I'm changing
               I don't know how I should feel
               How I should feel
               In my Soul
               I'm Out of Control with Rock & Roll
               I'm Out of Control with Rock & Roll

               The Fire in my heart is burning ... out of control
               And  I can't seem to stop this yearning ... for rock & roll
               A million Hells I suffer
               Just to rock & roll forever

               I'm Out of Control with Rock & Roll
               I'm Out of Control with Rock & Roll
 

             CAGE OF MIRRORS

               On the crest of Eternity, a Bell for every day
               That I've lived in silent search of the Mirrored Cage
               I could summon Lucifer and his Warriors
               With the Necromancer's Cage of Mirrors

               I found the Castle on the hill where is said to be
               The Necromancer's Gate to Hell, a Cage of Sorcery
               Mirrored bars that show us all the Pathways through the Mind
               To the Other Side of Hell where Demon Warriors ride ...
               Where Demon Warriors ride ... Ha! Ha! Ha!

               The Cage appears before my eyes, I feel I'm in a dream
               To the Other Side of Hell I cast my Spell and scream
               I summon Lucifer and his Warriors
               I ... I found the Cage of Mirrors

               With Magick Book I cast the Spell of the Trinity
               To open up the Gates of Hell and blacken all the Seas
               The Griffon with his eyes of blood searing through my Soul
               Demanding Virgin Sacrifice, how was I to know
               How was I to know ... I couldn't know ...
               Not ever possibly ... What did I do ...
               Blasphemy ...  Ha! Ha! Ha!

               Take me back the way I came, I don't want to see
               The Evil that awaits my name, I live in agony
               I would send back Lucifer and his Warriors
               But I'm trapped in a Cage of Mirrors
 

             FAR SIDE OF THE SUN

               The Day is Coming
               That soon in Future's time
               Every single one of us
               Will soon learn how to die
               And if I do escape
               Before that time has come
               I will meet you
               On the Far Side of the Sun
               Everybody is free on the Far Side of the Sun

               Oh won't you listen to me
               I'm on the Other Side
               I've got to get back to my home
               Before I run out of my mind
               It's like I'm in a mirror
               A Mystery I can't face
               It's like a dream I'm living
               I've got to get back into Space
               Everybody is free on the Far Side of the Sun

               I'm going tom journey homeward
               That Time has finally come
               I'm going to fly back through the stars
               To the Far Side of the Sun
               And now a ship approachin'
               Heading straight for me
               Ah Lord it's a ship like mine
               Is this my Destiny
               Everybody is free on the Far Side of the Sun
