Much too long I've been a prisoner here
The hour has come to break out
Shackled and chained almost goin' insane
It's better to live on the run
Set me free, set me free
Send me a sign, wanna leave it all behind
I'll be leaving the hands of doom
Rearrange the master plan, take the future in my hands
To be free and not trapped anymore
[Chorus]
Ride the sky, Ride the sky
Give me wings to fly, Ride the sky
I have to think for myself and then act
In conformity of my own thoughts
No one should tell me what's wrong and what's right
Why don't you leave me alone
Set me free, set me free
[Chorus]
[Solo: both/K/both/M]

Coming from the sewerage creepin' thru the pipes
Born from modern chemistry a thing that is alive
Growing in this rotten crap at places no one wipes
Eating rats and stinking shit and all it needs to thrive
The scientists got no way to fight
For they can't find any weak point to get rid of it right
You live your life and you don't know what's goin' on
You just can't stop a thinking that the officials do you wrong
You're sometimes wondering what the hell bit your baby's arm
And the nuns at the holy mission can't keep the tramps from harm
Even thieves around dark corners too scared to leave the door
Frustrated businessmen needing a wank can't find themselves a whore
You won't believe 'till you know that it's real
From the pain in your stomach and the horror you feel
You need a shit so you head off to the loo
You're coming to the bog, now what you're gonna do !
[Chorus]
There's the Reptile (Reptile)
Just see his eyes
Reptile (Reptile)
Can you see the beast arise
[Chorus]
Reptile (Reptile)
Creeping up on you
Reptile (Reptile)
There's nothing left that you can do
[Solo: K/M]
[Chorus]
And there's the Reptile (Reptile)
Hidden till now
Reptile (Reptile)
But now it's there you don't know how
[Chorus]
Reptile (Reptile)
Just watch it grow
Reptile (Reptile)
And there's no more human being left but you
Oerrrps !

We're living in our units
And one thing we can do is
Work for a life without a fate
We don't pay any taxes
But the state is the axes
Of our minds without love without hate
We have a higher order
No one needs to be a hoarder
Our society is such a glorious thing
In our centers we can dream of
Anything you never think of
You can't say we are puppets on a string
Our minds are kept so clean
Checked up on a screen
They're holy men, they're saints
Without them we might all fail
We don't know war and crime
Things of ancient times
We just see it if we put on video
The blue pass is for my life
And the red one's for my wife
It's the only thing we really need to show
There are still some without rules
But I tell you, they're all fools
The Guardians will find them as we've seen
We got banks where we freeze them
They get new brains screwed in then
And act contrarily to what they have been
With new minds made so clean
Checked up on a screen
They will be the saints
Without them we might all fail
[Chorus]
Guardians of our lives
Protect security
They turn the key and they step in
Controlling you and me
Guardians of our lives
Take care eternally
[Solo: both/K/M]

There are phantoms here on earth who take away our lives
They kill your kids and they rape your wives
They rip your flesh tear your heart take you down to hell
They don't give a damn on any kind of life
Phantoms bring evil, destruction and death
Night after night the same old game
They all look so harmless but deep in their hearts
Satan is lurking, and he will break out
Always someone at your back only waiting to attack
[Chorus]
Phantoms of death, Phantoms of death
The empire of deceivers is built upon your fear
You'll have to lose it 'cause the end is near
Warheads, armies stand to strike I know it isn't right
I wanna get out of here I don't wanna die
Infernal destruction of fire you'll burn
Then you'll be helpless but it's not too late
Stand up right now and you'll be the winner
Or Satan will get you, take you forever
Genocide everywhere, where's the saviour of this world
[Chorus]
Phantoms of death, Phantoms of death
[Solo: M/K/M/K/K/both]
Where is he the promised saviour the one who'll save the earth
Perhaps he'll come to bury us but then it'll be too late
Who are they who are the phantoms who will end our lives
It's you and me, you and me open up your eyes
Phantoms bring evil, destruction and death
Night after night the same old game
They all look so harmless but deep in their hearts
Satan is lurking, and he will break out
We are all parasites of this world we shall die
[Chorus]
Phantoms of death, Phantoms of death

Fool moon standing in the streets
I know the time is near
Incarnate power roaring from the sky
Unrelenting forces blasting through the air
Roaring thunder lift your hands and pray
Running through the empty streets they're looking for the fight
Swords gleam in the light of moon the gods prepare to strike
[Chorus]
Metal invaders, ready to strike
A warning from hell, be careful tonight
Dark night overwhelming bright light
See the demons fly
Can't trust your senses fear you'll have to die
Super mighty shadows casting amplitudes to ears
Sounds you've never heard that take you high
Time has come for them to rise, invasion is their doom
Riding high on iron horses in the light of moon
[Chorus]
Metal invaders, the gods on their ride
Sworn to bring metal, mayhem tonight
[Solo: both]

You're runnin' around in the gamblin' hall
Every night it's the same
You're lookin' for something new to play
To win and have fun is your aim
A pinball speaks to you
His metal voice is knockin' in your head
You can't resist you'll have to play
You're just another victim caught in the trap
[Chorus]
Gorgar will eat you, Gorgar - man you'll never win - hey
Gorgar will eat you, Gorgar - but you keep on playin' - hey
Your blood is boilin' your eyes grow wide -
Advance - too late
Gamblin' fever has taken your mind - this fuckin' machine of hate
You spend all your money but you'll never win
You're always the loser and the robot's voice keeps hammering
[Chorus]
Gorgar will eat you, Gorgar - man you'll never win - hey
Gorgar will eat you, Gorgar - but you keep on playin' - hey
Wastin' money for fun every night
Livin' for today no thoughts for tomorrow
Man you are dead don't you realize
Wake up and live before it's too late
[Solo: M/K]
[Chorus]
Gorgar will eat you, Gorgar - man you'll never win - hey
Gorgar will eat you, Gorgar - but you keep on playin' - hey

Fight hard
Live fast
Play loud
Step out of the crowd
Iron
Rulin'
Steel bent
Forever the faith will live on in our hearts
There's nothing else in all the world
That will bring it down
We will play our wildest step to all around
We need it as a liquid in our veins instead of blood
Power
Burnin'
Brains out
United metallians ready to strike
White heat
Red hot
Mayhem
If you don't feel it you won't understand
There's nothing else in all the world
That will bring it down
We will play our wildest step to all around
We need it as a liquid in our veins instead of blood

A lot of things occur each day
We've got to live with on our way
There's so much misery on the screen
With commercials in between
And the Russians won't be so late
Uncle Sam don't wanna wait
No matter if you're black or white
You never ever had a right
And look up to the eternal skies
See warfare even there
What once has been a paradise
Now destruction and despair
In other worlds the children die
Lacking food ill from a fly
Oppressed by troops to tame their land
It's all the same again
If any man is free on earth
Then tormentors steal his birth
They slam gun butts in his face
And leave his woman choked in mace
So stand up for our human rights
Push back this pest of hate
Raise you voice pass on the light
Unite! it's not too late
[Chorus]
How many tears flow away
To become a sea of fears
How many hearts are torn apart
Till another torment starts
But before the world
Turns into a sun
All cruelty and violence
On earth will be dead and gone
[Solo: both/both/M/both]
So stand up for our human rights
Push back this pest of hate
Raise you voice pass on the light
Unite! it's not too late

You promise us a bright golden future
You say you will save the world
That there will be no more hunger and pain
But we only see your golden hands
You say you take care of our survival
Sending us missiles instead
But you just betray us, deny us and lie
And you always say you would
[Chorus 1:]
Fight for freedom, fight for rights
I see treason in your eyes.
[Chorus 2:]
Judas - rulin' with an iron hand
Judas - sittin' in the government
Judas - I am not a Jesus Christ
Judas - you will be the one who's crucified
Your worship money and economy
There's nothing that you wouldn't do
If the payment is right you don't care about life
'Cause economy is your truth
You are the one selling terror and pain
In all the parts of the world
You are preparing the final grand slam
But you keep on tellin' you'll
[Chorus 1:]
Fight for freedom, fight for rights
I see treason in your eyes.

You're hanging around and got nuthin' to do
You wanna get out some pills in front of you
You fly on invisivble wings
Be careful my friend for too many can kill
You say that the meaning of life's in those pills
You forget all earthly things
You swallow your pill you wanna feel free
A trip to a world made of games
You do it again yet it's never the same
But a junkie's not somethin' to be
[Chorus:] Starlight! Fallin' in deep thru your eyes!
Starlight! Shinin' down for your soul to arise!
Now there's a needle lying in front of you
I'm frightened of those things
But I'll know what you'll do
You need it to escape from the night, ha ha
You ride on thru heaven you don't feel no pain
You ride on and ride on again and again
On the needle that brings you the light
You feel the mind-blowin' stuff
Flow thru your veins
You take off and fly to the sun
But when you get too near your wings will be burnt
You'll die in the flames and you'll fall
[Chorus]

He said get out of here nobody wants you here
You smashed his head and the man died
And there's a murmur loud
From the appearing crowd
Searching for motives and reasons why
Now take a look at yourself and you'll see
What you are in the eyes of the world
You didn't want it but now he's dead
And you're on the run from the law
[Chorus:]
You're a murderer - in every town
murderer - to the whole world
murderer - you're on the run
murderer - you'll have to kill...again!
And like an animal which escaped from the cage
They're hunting you over their holy land
Traps waiting everywhere you fall in deep despair
Darkness and night your only friends
One day the chase will be over for you
And you'll find your own peace in the end
Some day you will find sanctuary
Death!...but so long my friend!
[Chorus]
Look for a safe place where noone will find you
And try to escape from the law
Wherever you are there's a killer behind you
Wanting to get you for sure
To lose the fear that one day he will get you
Be faster and kill him and run
Now you don't have to fear him no more
But in his place another headhunter will come
...run away!
. . .

Blackened sky a final flash
Death is in the air
Warriors without a face
Destruction everywhere
[Bridge:]
Silent falls the hammer
Noone hears the cries
No escaping from this hell
Your prayers won't be heard...so die
Brainless cruel commanders
Sending death and pain
Soldiers only robots
Fight for their life in vain
[Brigde]
[Chorus:]
Die now die warrior!
Die now die warrior!
Somewhere in the shelter sit the men
Who hold your fate in hands
Playin' chess and you're the loser
You're a small pawn in their game
Somewhere in the shelter sit the men
And they don't realise
A war without survivors is a fight
That's never won...so die!
Barren land desolate waste
Destruction is complete
Survivors creeping thru the ruins
Decaying flesh and meat
Somewhere in a shelter
Some pigs are still alive
And still they play the game
They don't give a damn...so die!
[Chorus]

I was born in the rotten part of the town
The biggest trap I had seen
Wherever you'll go and wherever you'll get to
Evil is all around
My mother's a bitch my father's a killer
Gettin' paid for murder
Fightin' and strugglin' the whole day
The only way to survive
[Bridge:]
Wanted from law but they'll never catch me
I'd much rather die in this bloody war
[Chorus:]
Fly high touch the sky
Never know the reason why it ends
Victim of fate!
I had to kill people to save my own life
I don't wanna go to hell
I started at the bottom
I'm headin' for the top
I'll never return I'll never go back
To that goddamn part of the town
Headhunters won't get me 'cause I'm not stupid
But this ain't the life I dreamt of
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
What now lonely man who's standing
In the shadows of the streets
You're left alone with no helpin' hand beside you
You hide from the daylight living in darkness
You got no friends you can trust nobody
Except for yourself
The only shade that's beside you
Is the shade of Lucifer
Laughing with a satanic smile
And his friend Death sharpens his sickle
You don't wanna die, do you? But you will
You will burn in hell!
[Chorus]
Fly high, touch the sky, you will die!

"Freedom" this cry of all slaves will be heard
And the tyrants will feel the steel of the sword
The chains will be broken by all slaves on the earth
Forever to be free from their load
Time has run our for all you tyrants on earth
Your slaves are heedin' the call
Makin' an end to all this terror and pain
An end to your lies and your law
Takin' away all your gold and your money
Cause dead men won't need it anymore
Much too long we felt the slash of your whips
So now you will feel our swords
Freedom the eternal cry will echo high in the sky
The day will come when all power has been broken
Your blood will flow down to the gates of hell
Satan will wait for your souls
Pray to your god he won't help you he's dead
He won't fool our minds and our souls...anymore!
[Chorus:]
Freedom the cry of all slaves will be heard
The tyrants will now feel the steel of the sword
The chains will be broken by all slaves on earth
