lyrics
Raising the gavel, pleasing the King
These proceedings shall come to a close
Guilty of treason, sins of the flesh
Your crimes have all been disclosed
Say what you will as your penalty's cast
Down on your judgement today
Let it be heard sentence is passed
The ultimate price you will pay
Sharpening to perfection, let justice be done
Crowd pleasing dissection, your table's reserved
This proclamation be served
You'll be hung, drawn and quartered
Punishment fitting the crimes
Hung, drawn and quartered
Soon your last bell will chime
Off to the four winds, your parts be displayed
A warning for all to take heed
And to your heirs a corruption of blood
Seizing your assets and deeds
So in conclusion my thanks to you all
There's just one thing left to say
"Ladies and gent|emen, court is adjourned
Take him, be on your way"
Sharpening to perfection, blind justice be done
Crowd pleasing dissection, your table's reserved
This proclamation be served
You'll be hung, drawn and quartered
Punishment fitting the crimes
Hung, drawn and quartered
Soon your last bell will chime
You'll be hung, drawn and quartered
Punishment fitting the crimes
Hung, drawn and quartered
Soon your last bell will chime
You'll be hung, drawn and quartered
This be your judgement today
Hung, drawn and quartered
This is the price you will pay
Out along the Volga
Minds set to kill
Men standing ground with iron will
Death march approaching
Evil in stride
Now the God of War joins the other side
Gunfire and bloodshed
Shredding flesh and bone
As young men die in the killing zone
Through streets to factories
Fighting hand to hand
Be prepared to die for the Motherland
So hungry, so cold
But there can be no surrender
For greed and pride take hold
Blood is the cry
We'll kill or die
For Stalingrad
Stalingrad
We'll kill or die
Stalingrad
Blood is the cry
It's the battle of Stalingrad
Two soldiers dying
Huddled and blind
Enemies no more they've come to find
Mission forgotten
Now brothers in death
They hold each other fast 'till the final breath
So hungry, so cold
No, there can be no surrender
For greed and pride take hold
So hungry, so cold
We're only following orders
We gave our hearts and souls
Brothers we fight
Frozen in time
In Stalingrad
Stalingrad
Frozen in time
Stalingrad
Yeah, brothers we fight
The battle of Stalingrad
Stalingrad
Stalingrad
Frozen in time
It's the battle of Stalingrad
The battle of Stalingrad
Stalingrad
Stalingrad
Stalingrad
Cursed by the mind of evil
Fleeing from a torrent undreamed of
Horror worse than your blackest nightmare
Hiding from the antithesis of love
Sirens tearing up the darkness
Blockbusters from the skies they pour
Hot winds blowing through the burning streets
Firebombs giving way to crimes of war
1000 dragons in the sky
Breathing flames from above
Hellfire
Burns across the land
Hellfire
One giant column of flames leaps from the furnace
No one has a prayer
Strafing runs and napalm bombs
Blacken the air
Black is the color of vengeance
The innocent die as the flames get higher and higher
Buildings fall as the madness lingers
Feeding fuel on a giant funeral pyre
1000 bombers in the sky
The inferno from above
Hellfire
Burns across the land
Hellfire
One giant column of flames leaps from the furnace
No one has a prayer
Strafing runs, napalm bombs
Blacken the air
By the light of day we see the ashes
The beauty that once was
And in the end there is no future 'less we learn
From the past and the evil that men cause
Hellfire
Burns across the land
Hellfire
Spawned by the hands of man
Hellfire
Burning across the land
Hellfire
Spawned by the hands of man
Counting the seconds I could see myself
And it shook me right out of my mind
Staring right back at me, freezing the frame
I felt like a hostage in time
Caught somewhere between the spark and crash
Ow... It happened in a flash
Streaks of light, rip the night
Exploding in my mind
The sound of spheres, splits my ears
Caught in the Flash to Bang Time
Way past the crosshairs of space and time
I can see a dimension away
A cosmic eruption of neon fog
In an instant it starts to decay
Just like a match turned to smoke and ash
Ow... It happened in a flash
Streaks of light, rip the night
Exploding in my mind
The sound of spheres, splits my ears
Caught in the Flash to Bang Time
Floating on wreckage in black and white
Thru a negative reality
Trapped in a mirror where day is night
And I have to wake up from this dream
Streaks of light, rip the night
Exploding in my mind
The sound of spheres, split my ears
Caught in the Flash to Bang Time
It happened in a flash
In the Flash to Bang Time
So cold and lonely it seems so long since someone was here
Following the shadows, with the sun 'til it disappears
Thousands of stone white crosses, a formation for all to see
With flags and flames, the ranks and the names of those who died to be free
The fire remains in our hearts all of our dreams made new
Etched in the flames of freedom, we're living on through you
We're the Shadow Soldiers, laid to rest standing tall
Shadow Soldiers, in freedom you live
That's why we've given it all
Taken too soon from the lives we loved a misery I can not explain
Only when we feel your presence are we sure we did not die in vein
The fire remains in our hearts all of our dreams made new
Etched in the flames of freedom, are these words, oh so true
We're living on through you
We're the Shadow Soldiers, laid to rest standing tall
Shadow Soldiers, in freedom you live
That's why we've given it all
The fire remains in our hearts all of our dreams made new
Etched in the flames of freedom, we're living on through you
We're the Shadow Soldiers, laid to rest standing tall
Shadow Soldiers, in freedom you live
That's why we've given it all
Shallow Soldiers, laid to rest standing tall
Shadow Soldiers, in freedom you live
That's why we've given it all
Inflation, starvation,
I need another occupation
Everybody's got a hand out now "hard luck"
Hey buddy can you spare a dime
Can't take any more frustration,
Every day there's a new temptation
I gotta find a way to live "hard luck"
Why is it such a crime
We all need a little compensation
All I want is a real vacation
No money gotta pay the rent "hard luck''
The check is in the mail
But you get your tax deduction
Outsourcing mass production
No work it's no surprise "hard luck"
It's all gone to hell
They wanna bleed us dry
I think we've had enough
Stand up join the revolution
Don't take it anymore
Stand up join the revolution
Right now join the revolution
What's wrong, with this picture
The poor get poorer and the rich get richer
Banks ready to foreclose "hard luck"
Occupy the streets
Get up, take action, be a link in the chain reaction
It's time to unify "stand up"
Get up on your feet
They're trying to bleed us dry
I think we've had enough
Stand up join the revolution
Don't take it anymore
Stand up join the revolution
Right now join the revolution
Stand up join the revolution
Don't take it anymore
Stand up join the revolution
Right now join the revolution
Get up .. join the revolution
Don't take it anymore
Stand up join the revolution
Right now join the revolution!
This is the fire, started so long ago
We've kept the flame and the smoldering embers below
Deep in our hearts, our music defines our lives
We carry it on, finding a way to survive
So this is the way it must be
It's us against the World
All inhibition set free
Us against the World
Into the fire we're hurled
Lt's us against the World
Together we stand, thinking with just one mind
Branded and pierced, fists in the air tonight
Millions of lives, brought together by common ground
A family entwined, one global nation profound
So this is the way it must be
It's us against the World
All inhibition set free
Us against the World
Into the fire we're hurled
Lt's us, us against the World
So this is the way it must be
It's us against the World
All inhibition set free
Us against the World
And so our flag is unfurled
It's us, us against the World
Against the World
Everybody's got a line that they walk on
Somewhere between heaven and hell
A blank slate that the world gets to write on
Pick up the chalk and get out of your shell
Now and then, you know you got to ramble
Get out, out of your comfort zone
Sometimes you have to take a gamble
You might do better with the devil you know
There's a man sized hole in the ocean
Just waiting there to suck you in
So before you go raising a commotion
Think twice about where you swim
So be careful what you wish for
You might get it, and then it's too late
The future's knocking at the front door
Beware now the twist of fate
Too late, make no mistake
Beware now the twist of fate
Too late, what lies in wait
Out beyond the gates
Sometimes you put your hand in the fire
Take a chance, don't get burned
Other times you get tripped by a wire
They watch you dance, it's a lesson learned
So be careful what you wish for
You just might get it, and then it's too late
The future's knocking at your front door
Oh beware now the twist of fate
Too late, make no mistake
Beware now the twist of fate
Too late, what lies in wait
Could be a twist of fate
Too late
Beware now the twist of fate
Too late, oh make no mistake
Beware now the twist of fate
Too late, oh what lies in wait
It's a twist of fate
A hand is winding the clock in your head
Tensions rise, push the needle to red
Pick up the tempo, it's getting late
Oh, you've got that inner need accelerate
What now lies in between the hunter and the prey
Set sail, apart from the rest, let nothing get in your way
Speed and power, take command
You've got the world in your hand
Pull the trigger, move out ahead
There's two kinds of people
The quick and the dead
Cut loose the horses, right to the chase
Got to adrenalize, win this human race
Driving momentum, you take the lead
Gaining intensity, strive to succeed
What now lies in between the hunter and the prey
Set sail, apart from the rest, nothing will get in your way
Speed and power, take command
You've got the world in your hand
Pull the trigger, move out ahead
There's two kinds of people
The quick and the dead
What now lies in between the hunter and the prey
Set sail, apart from the rest, nothing will get in your way
Speed and power, take command
You've got the world in your hand
Pull the trigger, move out ahead
There's two kinds of people
The quick and the dead
Speed and power, take command
You've got the world in the palm of your hand
Pull the trigger, move out ahead
There's two kinds of people
The quick and the dead
I recall that fateful Tuesday
Tattooed in my mind
Left wandering, wounded, shocked and stunned
And although we've been disfigured
There's a toughness inside
We've had to learn to adapt and overcome
Right now I tell you
The point of your knife no longer pierces my kind
Hear what I say
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger in time
(Let's Roll)
And another page is turned
(Let's Roll)
Still in our minds, the memory burns
It's not over yet
We will never forget
And so this has become our breastplate
Our protection, our shield
This resistance scraping from within
Strike back in retribution
You've crossed over the line
We'll fight fire with fire, and seek the sign
Right now I tell you
The point of your knife no longer pierces my kind
Hear what I say
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger in time
Let's Roll)
And another page is turned
(Let's Roll)
Still in our minds, the memory burns
No, this is not over yet
We will never forget
\M/ FUCKIN' SOLO \m/
(Let's Roll)
Yes another page is turned
(Let's Roll)
Still in our minds, the memory burns
(Let's Roll)
This open wound never heals
(Let's Roll)
No, this is not over yet
We will never forget
Pulling the weight up against the wind
Is the plight of the galley slave
Chained to this cold bench, six to the oar
Sentenced to an early grave
With iron in our souls and fire in our wrists
Slicing the waves and the sea
Rotting below, they'll not let us go
Only mutiny or death set us free
Arms grow numb and the blood doth drip
To the beat of the drum, from the crack of the whip
We're damned, to the galley
We're chained, to the galley of pain
We're damned, to the galley
We're slaves, chained to the galley of pain
Splintered and split, the hands of the doomed
Endlessly toil by the hour
Bodies broken, shackled with hatred
As the soul grows sour
Off in the distance, the cry of the gulls
And the smell of approaching land
With our last ounce of strength, we pull to the shore
And dream to escape if we can
But sirens attack, with their songs of love
Mermaids surround us as off we shove
Our arms still numb and the blood still drips
To the beat of the drum, from the crack of the whip
Damned, to the galley
We're chained, to the galley of pain
Damned, to the galley
We're slaves, chained to the galley of pain
We're rotting in the galley hole
Damned to the galley
We're chained, to the galley of pain
We're damned, to the galley
We're slaves, chained to the galley of pain
Only death can set us free
