One electrified
eye
Freezing metalized smile
No more cheating the code
The scene is set - emotions disconnected
Welcome to the cyber trail
Laser cops and sirens wail
Held down with magnetic force
Said: come with us - you broke the law
Obey the rules - don't do no wrong
A thought too loud - and crime is done
No appeal for the common man
Just cold hard facts - in computer land
All freedom burns on eternal fire
There's no more independence day
Forever gone never have another
No other independence day
Cyborg arms put the straps around
One more second 'till the switch comes down
Flaching lights - a cage of steel
Turns my head into a dead dogs meal
In this world - robotic rage
You'll understand the acid pain
Do no right - you won't last long
Remote controlled - under the heel of submission
All freedom burns on eternal fire
There's no more independence day
Forever gone never have another
No other independence day
No remorse - for human kind
No recourse - to keep your mind
It's too late - there's no escape
Is this the end of the line
All freedom burns on eternal fire
There's no more independence day
Forever gone never have another
No other independence day
All freedom burns on eternal fire
There's no more independence day
Forever gone never have another
No other independence day
No use for humanity
We'll never ever be free again
No tomorrows
Zero - the number of the year
Zero - the number of the year
Miles from home
So many things go 'round
So far - the fight in me so strong
Years of pain
I've suffered all the same
Today - I know I will be near
You talk about romance
You blew your only chance
'cause you're a two faced woman
But I'm a three faced man
'cause you're a two faced woman
I got a hangman's hand
Dirty tricks
I found out just in time
Enough - don't dare to cross the line
You - you fooled around
I found a way out
The tables turned - your bridges burned
You talk about romance
You blew your only chance
'cause you're a two faced woman
But I'm a three faced man
'cause you're a two faced woman
I got a hangman's hand
'cause you're a two faced woman
But I'm a three faced man
'cause you're a two faced woman
You'll live in nightmare land
Payback time - spin the dime
The balance overdue
Payback time - take a hike
You broke the golden rule
'cause you're a two faced woman
But I'm a three faced man
'cause you're a two faced woman
I got a hangman's hand
'cause you're a two faced woman
But I'm a three faced man
'cause you're a two faced woman
You'll live in nightmare land
You always tried
to be so nice
But always got it wrong
Day by day you played your games with me
But there's no way you'll win
But the time has come
I'll start another light
And now I'm gonna stand
Stand on my own - I've always been a man
Kick your desperate balls
It's my command the mighty fall
Kick your desperate balls
Received the blow forever tall
You got desperate balls
Double talk and desperate lies
You failed to see and recognize
So sorry for your puny minds
No salvation for your kind
You tried to take me on
For you I'm way too strong
I showed you how to stand
Stand on my own - I'll always be a man
Kick your desperate balls
So watch your back or I might call
Kick your desperate balls
From left or right or from below
You got desperate balls
You call those balls?
Feel the weight of mine!
You tried to take me on
For you I'm way too strong
I showed you how to stand
Stand on my own - I'll always be a man
Kick your desperate balls
It's my command the mighty fall
Kick your desperate balls
Received the blow forever tall
Kick your desperate balls
So watch your back or I might call
Kick your desperate balls
From left or right or from below
You got desperate balls
Feel the weight of mine!
One day you're
ostracised
And then you're mesmerised
The goal is freedom for us all
We are all believers
We think we own the world
It sends us crashing down
And in an instant he arrives
We are strong believers
He's the retriever
He holds the book in his hand
To bring us back where we belong
He is the punisher - he can tell if you lie
He is the punisher - one mistake and you die
He is the punisher - there is only one right
He is the punisher - he takes an eye for an eye
He's made in one design
The price is piece of mind
Instead of hatred there is pride
We are strong believers
He senses everytime
The past and future crimes
He's east and west he's so divine
He holds the book in his hand
To bring us back where we belong
He is the punisher - he can tell if you lie
He is the punisher - one mistake and you die
He is the punisher - you can't elect him out
He is the punisher - he is the one we crowned
He's omnipresant in our world and rules the game
The punisher just treats the same
He holds the book in his hand
To bring us back where we belong
He is the punisher - he can tell if you lie
He is the punisher - one mistake and you die
He is the punisher - there is only one right
He is the punisher - he takes an eye for an eye
He is the punisher - you can't elect him out
He is the punisher - he is the one we crowned
Punisher - he is the punisher
Punisher - he is the punisher
Jesus Christ was
born like me in a stable
His mom and dad did all that they were able
How did they know which way he'd turn
Didn't want to get their fingers burned
To take which path from right or wrong
He picked right and I picked wrong
I see myself swinging in the gentle breeze
Remembering girls and the way they teased
Mama and papa saying this I tell
We loved you boy but you're going to hell
Roll the devil's dice - no second chance
Roll the devil's dice - I did the dead-man's dance
I did the dead-man's dance
Ever since nine I was juvenile
Stealing from pa - did petty crime
Officer said for me no hope
The only good thing for you's a rope
Left me danging high and dry
They picked my bones and the crows took flight
I see myself swinging in the gentle breeze
Remembering girls and the way they teased
Mama and papa saying this I tell
We loved you boy but you're going to hell
Roll the devil's dice - my turn to cast
Roll the devil's dice - and I got the six
Roll the devil's dice - all three of them
Roll the devil's dice - roll the devil's dice
So here I am on judgement day with angels
The Lord Jesus is reckoning the tables
He said I know you, didn't take you long
Been bad down there, didn't string along
You know which way the righteous choose
Gonna swing you high from the reaper's noose
Roll the devil's dice - no second chance
Roll the devil's dice - I did the dead-man's dance
Roll the devil's dice - my turn to cast
Roll the devil's dice - roll the devil's dice
I did the dead-man's dance
I have to tell a
story - about a man
Never in the mood - to change his life
Nobody wants to help him - as he spirals down
But one day the wrong decision - hit him overnight
No more cocktail parties - champagne's run dry
No company take-overs - stock markets high
No more hand-jobs in the boardroom - sex is history
And no saunas, no jacuzzis - the penalties you'll reap
At last he realized - he did it wrong
Messed big time everywhere - double-dealing lies
He's going down on his bad luck - his just deserts
He's going down on his bad luck - what he deserved
His old man told him always - listen son
It's a two-way street to fortune - you gotta hit and run
Don't forget the mirror - look who's behind
And don't you come up crying - when it's faster coming down
At last he realized - he did it wrong
Messed big time everywhere - double-dealing lies
He's going down on his bad luck - his just deserts
He's going down on his bad luck - what he deserved
He's going down on his bad luck - it's his time
He's going down on his bad luck - can't rewind
Do you get the story - you know this man
Have you learned a lesson - do you understand
When all you got is crystal - you shouldn't cast a stone
So be careful when you go up - 'cause you'll meet them coming
down
He's going down on his bad luck - his just deserts
He's going down on his bad luck - what he deserved
He's going down on his bad luck - it's his time
He's going down on his bad luck - can't rewind
See the gates of
hell and they're still bleeding
Creatures of the night are creeping out - so proud
I'll be there once more to feed them
More and more they're sneaking in my mind - so strong
All in all nothing's left behind
Cannot hold it back this dark desire
Don't turn your head or you'll be dead
The good have gone to ground - you know why
Preachers of the night - they're calling
Preachers of the night - there will be no tomorrow
Preachers of the night - I'm falling
Preachers of the night - they want me back
Touch the gates of hell while they're still bleeding
Tearing at my soul and watch it weep - so raw
You better back off
My mind is not my own take heed then
All evil's been unleashed within us all - so war!
You better back off
All in all nothing's left behind
Cannot hold it back this dark desire
Don't turn your head or you'll be dead
The good have gone to ground - you know why
Preachers of the night - they're calling
Preachers of the night - there will be no tomorrow
Preachers of the night - I'm falling
Preachers of the night - they want me back
Deal me out - I've had enough
Trading in the kingdom of te beast
Step by step - not far behind me
Flesh and blood will never rest in peace
All in all nothing's left behind
Cannot hold it back this dark desire
Don't turn your head or you'll be dead
The good have gone to ground - you know why
Preachers of the night - they're calling
Preachers of the night - there will be no tomorrow
Preachers of the night - I'm falling
Preachers of the night - they want me back
Preachers of the night - they're calling
Preachers of the night - there will be no tomorrow
Preachers of the night - I'm falling
Preachers of the night - they want me back
For all of time
we had a man
Who had a frozen heart
He's standig on a hill
And sees the morning come
Fear and rage - destruction
He made a world of pain
Hate and sin - confession
He craved a senseless crime
'cause he's a sane killer - he takes you by surprise
He's a sane killer - stares into your eyes
He's a hate stinger - nothing left to chance
He's a sane killer - and he's the last to dance
Just in time he finds the way
To do without the lies
It's time to bruise and maim
Stripped of all disguise
Fear and rage - destruction
No warning or a sign
Hate and sin - confession
He's deadly from behind
'cause he's a sane killer - he takes you by surprise
He's a sane killer - stares into your eyes
He's a hate stinger - nothing left to chance
He's a sane killer - and he's the last to dance
The devil rings - we pay the rent
The cruellest cut of all
We built the road he travelled on
The lessons come to call
So look for signs behind the eyes
Destructor of us all
Stands alone deathly still
The stealer has arrived
Fear and rage - destruction
He made a world of pain
Hate and sin - confession
He craved a senseless crime
'cause he's a sane killer - he takes you by surprise
He's a sane killer - stares into your eyes
He's a hate stinger - nothing left to chance
He's a sane killer - and he's the last to dance
'cause he's a sane killer - he takes you by surprise
He's a sane killer - stares into your eyes
He's a hate stinger - nothing left to chance
He's a sane killer - and he's the last to dance
For a long time
he's been lucky man
No difference if it's good or bad
The trigger's his - the orders others
No way to stop the final blow
The message: here ya go
The countdown's on a roll
War against the world
All systems deadly armed
Machine, man, all in one
They're all oblivious to the crime
Braindead hero
Braindead hero - out of the sun he comes
Braindead hero
Braindead hero - feel the blazing guns
Now we got to blow his circuitry
Drain the poison from his veins
Degenerate - corrupt his memories
Fire at will - just do or die
The message: here ya go
The countdown's on a roll
War against the world
All systems deadly armed
Machine, man, all in one
They're all oblivious to the crime
Braindead hero
Braindead hero -like a hammer from the sky
Braindead hero
Braindead hero - supersonic cry
You better stay just where you are
Consequences in the fire
Braindead hero
Braindead hero - out of the sun he comes
Braindead hero
Braindead hero - feel the blazing guns
Braindead hero
Braindead hero -like a hammer from the sky
Braindead hero
Braindead hero
No light inside
as empty room
Under pressure I can't win
The screams - the pain - it's all inside
All this talking all the time
When there is something left
Talk to me face to face
Expected so much more
I'm sick and tired of it all
Why don't you pray for the hunted
I scream for help to free my heart
You better pray for the hunter
I wonder why you take me apart
The light has diedd and who's to blame
You're the one who messed around
You shook - you took - you played your games
The time has come you're going down
When there is something left
Talk to me face to face
Expected so much more
I'm sick and tired of it all
Why don't you pray for the hunted
I scream for help to free my heart
You better pray for the hunter
I wonder why you take me apart
You take me apart
Why don't you pray for the hunted
You better pray for the hunter
Why don't you pray for the hunted
You better pray for the hunter
Why don't you pray for the hunted
I scream for help to free my heart
You better pray for the hunter
I wonder why you take me apart
Why don't you pray for the hunted
You score no more you've lost this game
You better pray for the hunter
Why do you always have to take me apart
Can you feel the
morning light
Wanna make the sunrise mine
Been wandering from dusk to dawn
So many sleepless nights
Can't seem to get it right
So many memories in my mind
How many years have gone
Where was I coming from
I need someone to take me home
Has love just passed me by
No tears no reasons why
For harmony I'd sell my soul
For - my aim is right and strong
The sign I've waited for
There's no more knives into my heart
Now - I know right from wrong
My rescue's just begun
I've turned and faced the midnight sun
In the book of the healer
In the time of the healer
Why is the world so blind
I asked it many times
The answer's here for all to see
Now the past is laid to rest
Resurrection - born again
I thank the healer for it all
For - my aim is right and strong
The sign I've waited for
There's no more knives into my heart
Now - I know right from wrong
My rescue's just begun
I've turned and faced the midnight sun
In the book of the healer
In the time of the healer
It's on you - take your chance
Try it once and you'll break free
Power's out - just reach beyond
The healer's there for you and me
In the book of the healer
In the time of the healer
