Gen'rals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh Lord Yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave thier role to the poor, yeah

Time will tell on their empower minds,
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
Wait 'til their judgement day comes, yeah

Now in darkness world stops turning,
Ashes were the bodies burning
No more War Pigs have the power,
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the War Pigs crawling,
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Lord Yeah!

Finished with my woman because she couldn't help me with my mind.
People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time.
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy.
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify...

Can you help me, occupy my brain?
Oh, yeah...

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find.
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind...

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry.
Happiness I cannot feel like love to me is so unreal...

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state.
I tell you to enjoy life, I wish I could but it's too late...


. . .


We sail,
through endless skies,
stars shine like eyes,
the black night sighs.

The moon,
in silver trees,
falls down in tears,
light of the night.

The Earth,
a purple blaze,
of sapphire haze,
in orbit always.

While down,
below the trees,
bathed in a cool breeze,
silver starlight breaks down the night.

And so,
we pass on by,
the crimson eye,
of great god Mars,
as we travel...
the universe...

. . .


I - am - Iron - Man!

Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?

Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there
why should we even care?

He was turned to steel
in the great magnetic field
When he travelled time
for the future of mankind

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
that he will soon unfold

Now the time is here
for Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Heavy bullets of lead
fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again!

. . .


Reflex in the sky warn you you're gonna die
Storm coming, you'd better hide from the atomic tide
Flashes in the sky turns houses into sties
Turns people into clay, radiation minds decay

Robot minds of robot slaves lead them to atomic rage
plastic flowers, melting sun, fading moon falls upon
dying world of radiation, victims of mad frustration
Burning globe of oxy'n fire, like electric funeral pyre

Buildings crashing down to a cracking ground
Rivers turn to wood, ice melting to flood
Earth lies in death bed, clouds cry water dead
Tearing life away, here's the burning pay

Electric Funeral
Electric Funeral
Electric Funeral
Electric Funeral

And so in the sky shines the electric eye
supernatural king takes earth under his wing
Heaven's golden chorus sings, Hell's angels flap their wings
Evil souls fall to Hell, ever trapped in burning cells!


. . .


What you gonna do? Time's caught up with you
Now you wait your turn, you know there's no return
Change your empty rules, you join the other fools
Turn to something new, now it's killing you
First it was the bomb, Vietnam napalm
Disillusioning, you push the needle in
From life you escape, reality's black drape
Colours in your mind satisfy your time
Oh you, you know you must be blind
To do something like this
To take the sweet that you don't know
You're giving Death a kiss,
Poor little fool now
Your mind is full of pleasure
Your body's looking ill
To you it's shallow leisure
So drop the acid pill, don't stop to think now
You're having a good time baby
But that won't last
Your mind's all full of things
You're living too fast
go out enjoy yourself
Don't bottle it in
You need someone to help you
To stick the needle in, yeah
Now you know the scene, your skin starts turning green
Your eyes no longer seeing life's reality
Push the needle in, face death's sickly grin
Holes are in your skin, caused by deadly pin
Head starts spinning 'round, you fall down to the ground
Feel your body heave, Death's hands starts to weave
It's too late to turn, you don't want to learn
Price of life is high, now you're gonna die

Goin' home late last night
Suddenly I got a fright
Yeah, I looked through a window and suprise what I saw:
A fairy with boots was dancin' with a dwarf
All right now!

Yeah, Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
Yeah, I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies
Yeah, fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes
Ohh, right now!

Yeah, Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
Yeah, I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies
Yeah, Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes
Allright now!

So I went to the doctor to see what he would give me
He said, "Son, son, you've gone too far,
'cause smokin' and trippin' is all that you do."

Yeahhhhhh!
