1. DANGER ZONE

OH PEOPLE, YOUR DARKNESS HATH COME.

OH NO, THEY’VE BLACKENED THE SUN.

THE NIGHT WAS COOL, BUT NOW IT BURNS HOT.

YOU MAY CRY TILL TOMORROW, BUT I’D RATHER NOT.

OH COME WITH ME INTO THE DANGER ZONE

OH COME WITH ME INTO THE DANGER ZONE

GIVE UP THE FIGHT FOR YOUR RUINED HOME

TO THE DANGER ZONE!

OH LEPERS AND BEASTS STALK THE NIGHT

BLINDED, CONFUSED BY WEIRD LIGHTS

MY LOVE COME, LET’S WALK TO THE SEA.

THE HEAVENS WILL SHINE, ON YOU AND ON ME.

COME WITH ME INTO THE DANGER ZONE

OH COME WITH ME INTO THE DANGER ZONE

LIVE FOR THE NIGHT, YOU’LL SIT BY THE THRONE.

TO THE DANGER ZONE!

LET’S TAKE OUR PLACE, WITH THE SPECTRAL LIGHTS

AND THE BLISSFUL SOUND OF WINGS

THE KINGDOM IS WILLING, TO LET OUR LOVE IN

AND GRANT US THE PEACE WE BOTH DESERVE.

COME WITH ME INTO THE DANGER ZONE

OH COME WITH ME INTO THE DANGER ZONE

LIVE FOR THE NIGHT, YOU’LL SIT BY THE THRONE.

TO THE DANGER ZONE!

 

2. AMERICAN GIRL *

WHEN YOU SEE HER WALKING DOWN THE

3. DEAD END KIDS

I’M NOT THE KIND OF GUY THAT LIKES TO START TROUBLE NO

BUT IF YOU PUSH ME TOO FAR YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT I

MIGHT DO

YES I DO AND IF YOU DON’T WATCH OUT I’M GOING TO PUT A SPELL ON YOU

CAUSE I’M A DEAD, DEAD END KID

CAUSE THERE’S NOTHING IN THIS WORLD, NOTHING I WOULDN’T DARE.

CAUSE I’M A DEAD, DEAD END KID

I GOT A ONE WAY TICKET ON A SINKING SHIP

AND I’M GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL

4. DRIVE ON THRU

YA GOT NO FRIENDS; AND YA GOT NO MONEY

AND NO ONE WANTS TO KNOW YOU,

AND NO ONE CALLS YOU HONEY.

ABD NOTHIN’S GOIN RIGHT,

AND YOU’RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.

THERE’S ONLY ONE THING LEFT, THAT YOU CAN DO

THATS DRIVE ON, DRIVE ON, DRIVE ON THRU.

THERE’LL ALWAYS BE ONE CAR, IN FRONT OF YOU.

WHEN THE WORLD GETS YOU DOWN AND NO ONE COMES AROUND,

YOU’RE OUT ON YOUR OWN, AND YOU CAN NEVER GO HOME.

THERE AINT NO FUN, NOW YA GOT TO RUN.

THERE’S ONLY ONE THING LEFT, THAT YOU CAN DO

THAT’S DRIVE ON, DRIVE ON, DRIVE ON THRU.

THERE’LL ALWAYS BE ONE CAR, IN FRONT OF YOU.

THERE’S ONLY ONE THING LEFT, THAT YOU CAN DO

THAT’S DRIVE ON, DRIVE ON, DRIVE ON THRU.

THERE’LL ALWAYS BE ONE CAR, IN FRONT OF YOU.

 

5. STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU

I CANT STOP CRYING, SINCE YOU’VE BEEN GONE.

YOU KNOW WE’VE LOVED FOR SO LONG

AND I’LL ALWAYS FEEL SOMETHING

THAT LOVE WAS SO STRONG.

AND I WISH I KNEW JUST WHAT WENT WRONG, BABY.

COS I’M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU

OH, OH. STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU

YEA, STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU

AND I DON’T KNOW JUST WHAT TO DO.

I WONDER WHAT YOU’RE DOIN TONITE GIRL.

ARE YOU HOLDING SOMEONE TIGHT?

(THE WAY YOU USED TO HOLD ME)

I WISH YOU COULD LOVE ME AND WANT TO BE MINE.

TAKE ME IN YOUR ARMS AND KEEP ME FROM CRYING, CRYING, CRYIN ALL THE TIME.

COS, I’M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU

OH, OH. STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU

YEA, STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU

AND I DON’T KNOW JUST WHAT TO DO.

EVEN THE WIND, WHISPERS TO ME YOUR MEMORY

FIRES OF LOVE, THAT BURNED SO BRIGHT

FADE WITH THE NIGHT.

AND LEAVE ME COLD AND ALL ALONE.

ALL ALONE — WHERE DID YA GO?

YOU REALLY DON’T REMEMBER.

COS, I’M STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU

OH, OH. STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU

YEA, STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU

AND I DON’T KNOW JUST WHAT TO DO.

 

6. CHILDREN OF THE STORM

THE WICKED WIND IS HOWLING AND ITS SCREAMING OUT MY NAME.

ABOVE THE RING OF FIRE, THE NECROMANCER REIGNS.

WITH THUNDER AND LIGHTNING, HE ENFORCES HIS COMMAND

OF EVIL, LUST AND VIOLENCE, DESTRUCTION RULES THE LAND.

CHILDREN OF THE STORM

ON AND ON WE RUN

CHILDREN OF THE STORM

TRYING TO FIND THE SUN.

WITH WRATH FUL HEARTS WE’VE SCALED THE FORTRESS

WHOSE SUMMITTS REACH THE SKY

IN VAIN WE ROARED AND WERE DEFEATED,

HIS MAJESTY REIGNS HIGH.

WEEPING AND WAILING, ANOTHER MAIDEN DIES.

IN THE WIND AND ICE WE GATHER

TO BLAST THIS DEMON FROM THE SKY

CHILDREN OF THE STORM

ON AND ON WE RUN

CHILDREN OF THE STORM

TRYING TO FIND THE SUN.

SHADOWS FLY PAST, BUT THE BLACK KNIGHT HOLDS FAST,

AND I’LL TRUST IN THE STRENGTH OF MY SONG.

OVER THE EDGE WENT THE DARK FLAME OF DREAD,

AND IT’S ALL IN THE STRENGTH OF MY HAND.

CHILDREN OF THE STORM

ON AND ON WE RUN

CHILDREN OF THE STORM

TRYING TO FIND THE SUN.

CHILDREN OF THE STORM

ON AND ON WE RUN

CHILDREN OF THE STORM

TRYING TO FIND THE SUN

KEEP ON YOUR GUARD, TRUST IN THE SWORD,

FACE, FACE, THE FLAME, OH FACE THE FLAME!!

 

7. PICTURES ON YOU

I GOT PICTURES ON YOU BABY

I’M GONNA TURN EM LOOSE.

OH, DON’T CRY HONEY

I’M GONNA COOK YOUR GOOSE, YEAH.

WELL, I AIN’T MEAN, IT’S JUST THAT YOU’VE BEEN BAD.

AND YOU’RE MAKIN, YOU’RE MAKIN ME, OH SO MAD.

HOW WOULD YOUR MAMA LIKE IT?

HOW WOULD YOUR DADDY TAKE IT?

TO SEE YOU LYIN NAKED

RIGHT ON MY BED, HA HA

WATCH THE BIRDIE BABY, I’M TAKING ONE MORE SHOT!!

STOP THAT NAGGIN NOISE, ETC

 

8. PULVERIZER
(guitar solo)

 

9. VIRGIN STEELE

WAIT TILL THE TWILIGHT IS GONE AND THE HEAVEN’S LIGHTS GO ON.

WELL I HAVE SEEN THE FLAMES

WHILE LORDS OF TERROR REIGNED

ARMOR CLASHING SPLITS THE NIGHT

WHILE THE ANGELS SOARED,

PACKS OF DEMONS ROARED

FLASHING METAL, I JUMPED IN THE FRAY

FEEL THE BITE, HEAR THE SCREAM

WE FEAR NO EVIL

HELPED BY HANDS UNSEEN

WITH A VOICE, LIKE THE WIND

SEVEN TRUMPETS SOUND THE CHORD OF DREAMS, NOW

IN MOUNTAIN CAVERNS DEEP, THE MOLTEN FLAMES WOULD

THE VIRGIN METAL WAS THRUST IN THE FORGE

ITS POWER WORKS FOR THOSE

WHOSE DREAMS OF PEACE STILL HOLD

THE SKIES REJOICE THE COMING DAY.

GONNA SHOUT, GONNA SCREAM

THE STACKS OF GLORY, SWEETLY SING THEIR PRAISE

GONNA SHOUT, GONNA SCREAM, SHAKE THE WORLD

AND LET THEM KNOW WE’RE HERE.

 

10. LIVING IN SIN

THE NIGHT ERUPTS AND SPITS ITS REFUSE OUT.

"WE’VE NO REGARD FOR YOUR LIFE," THEY GLEEFULLY SHOUT.

THEY UNLEASH THEIR HELL, AND WAIT ON THE GREAT

BEASTS CALL.

OOH I WANNA BREAK THE SPELL, AND SEND THOSE WRETCHES TO HELL

BUT.

SATAN TOLLS HIS BELL, YOU ALL KNOW TOO WELL.

ITS A LIFE OF SIN.

JUST A LIFE OF SIN.

EVIL LURKS IN THE WIND.

IN THIS LIFE OF SIN, AND YOU CAN NEVER WIN,

WHEN YOU’RE LIVIN IN SIN.

(OOH, I’M GONNA

GET YA.)

ANGELIC DEMONS TRY TO BLIND ME WITH THEIR LIES,

BUT NOTHING ESCAPES ME, I’M FAR TOO WISE.

A SILVERY SCREAM, RIPS THE THREAD OF THE NIGHT.

OOH, WATCH OUT FOR ME, THERE’S GONNA BE A HELL

OF A FIGHT.

BUT!

SATAN TOLLS HIS BELL, ITS TIME TO SAY

IT’S A LIFE OF SIN, JUST YOUR LIFE OF SIN.

DO YOU THINK YOU CAN WIN,

IN YOUR LIFE OF SIN?

NO! YOU CAN NEVER WIN, WHEN YOU’RE LIVIN IN SIN.

OH PROSTITUTION, IS THAT YOUR FINAL SOLUTION.

CRIME IN THE STREETS MAKES YOU COWER IN FEAR.

OUR WORLD IS DYING, THE DEMON IS RISING.

YOU KNOW THE ANSWER, COME ON LETS GO.

BUT.

SATAN TOLLS HIS BELL, YOU ALL KNOW TOO WELL.

ITS A LIFE OF SIN, JUST A LIFE OF SIN.

DID YOU THINK YOU COULD WIN,

IN YOUR LIFE OF SIN?

NO. YOU CAN NEVER WIN, WHEN YOU’RE LIVIN IN SIN.

NO. NEVER WIN WHEN YOU’RE LIVIN IN SIN.

NEVER WIN WHEN YOU’RE LIVIN IN SIN
