Holy war... the punishment due
Hangar 18
Take no prisonners
Five magics
Poison was the cure
Lucretia
Tornado of souls
Dawn patrol
Rust in peace... Polaris
Holy war... the punishment due
Brother will kill brother 
Spilling blood across the land 
Killing for religion 
Something I don't understand 

Fools like me,who cross the sea 
And come to foreign lands 
Ask the sheep, for their beliefs 
Do you kill on God's command?

A country that's divided 
Surely will not stand 
My past erased, no more disgrace 
No foolish naive stand 

The end is near, it's crystal clear 
Part of the master plan 
Don't look now to Israel 
It might be your homelands 

Holy wars 

Upon my podium, as the 
Know it all scholar 
Down in my seat of judgement 
Gavel's bang,uphold the law 
Up on my soapbox, a leader 
Out to change the world 
Down in my pulpit as the holler 
Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God





Wage the war on organized crime 
Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks 
Behind the lines 
Some people risk to employ me 
Some people live to destroy me 
Either way they die 

They killed my wife, and my baby 
With hopes to enslave me 
First mistake' last mistake! 
Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants 
Next mistake... no more mistakes! 

Fill the cracks in,with judicial granite 
Because I don't say it, don't mean I ain't thinkin' it 
Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away 
I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose 
And the lack of mercy killings

Hangar 18
Welcome to our fortress tall 
Take some time to show you around 
Impossible to break these walls 
For you see the steel is much too strong 
Computer banks to rule the world 
Instruments to sight the stars 

Chorus 
Possibly I've seen to much 
Hangar 18 I know too much 

Foreign life forms inventory 
Suspended state of cryogenics 
Selective amnesia's the story 
Believed foretold but who'd suspect 
The military Intelligence 
Two words combined that can't make sense 

Chorus

Take no prisonners
Got one chance, infiltrate them 
Get it right, terminate them 
The Panzers will, permeate them 
Break their pride, denigrate them 
And their people, retrograde them 
Typhus, deteriate them 
Epidemic, devastate them 
Take no prisoners, cremate them 

Going to war, give 'em hell 
D-Day, next stop Normandy 
Beginning of the end 
We know how to and sure as shit we'll win 
War is peace sure man 
A retreat for the damned 
A playground for the demented 
A heaven for those who walk this world 
Bereft of heart and soul 
Love and war they say all is fair 
Take his life 
But won't take his hair 
Your body has parts your 
Country can spare 
By the way son here's 
Your wheelchair 

He once had to be all he could be 
Now he's nothing for no one nowhere to see 
Funny thing, he's like you and me 
It's a funny thing, a funny thing 
Tears streak his solemn stare 
Abandoned for wreckage nobody cares 
No one knew what would happen there 
No one spoke no one even dared 
Don't ask what you can do for your country 
Ask what your country can do for you 

Take no prisoners, take no shit 
(Repeat)

Five magics
Bestow upon me knowledge 
Wizard-all knowing all wise 
I want to rule this kingdom 
Make sweet the breeze now defiled 
Dethrone the evil prince's Iron fists 
In velvet gloves of sin 
Parade the grey robed monks 
The vestal virgins,wheel the wyverns in 

Let the ceremony 
Consecrate the marriage 
Let me be the protege 
Of five magics 

Give me alchemy 
Give me wizardry 
Give me sorcery 
Thermatology 
Electricity 
Magic if you please 
Master all of these 
Bring him to his knees 
I master five magics 

Possessed with hellish torment 
I master magics “5” 
Hunting the abyss lord 
Only one will stay alive 
He who lives by the sword 
Will surely also die 
He who lives in sin 
Will surely live the lie

Poison was the cure
I miss the warm embrace I felt 
First time you touched me 
Secure and safe in open arms 
I should have known you'd crush me 

A snake you were when we met 
I loved you anyway 
Pulling out your poisoned fangs 
The venom never goes away 

Serpent swims free in my blood 
Dragons sleeping in my veins 
Jackyl speaking with tongue 
Roach egg laying in my brain 

Once stalked beneath your shadow 
Sleepwalking to the gallows 
I'm the sun that beats your brow in 
Til I finally threw the towel 
Never knowing if I'd wake up in a 
Whirlpool got redundant 
My brain was just some driftwood 
In a cesspool I became dead 
From a rock star to a desk fool 
Was my destiny someone said 
Loves a tidepool 
Taste the waters life's abundant 
Taste me

Lucretia
Sitting up late at night 
I tiptoe through the darkness 
Cold as hell black as spades 
Aware of my immediate surrounding 
In my place I escape 
Up into my hideout 
Hiding from everyone 
My friends all say 
Dave your mental any way hey! 
Drift into a deeper state 
I stalk the cobwebbed stairways 
Dirt grits beneath my feet 
The stair creaks, I precariously sneak 

Hypnosis guides my hand 
I slipslide through the walkways 
Sit in granny's rockin' chair 
Memories are whirling by yeah 
Reminisce in the attic 
Lucretia waits impatiently 
Cobwebs make me squint 
The cobra so eloquently glints 
Moonbeams surge through the sky 
The crystal ball's energized 
Surely that like the cat waiting 
Lucretia rocks away

Tornado of souls
This morning I made the call 
The one that ends it all 
Hanging up, I wanted to cry 
But dammit, this well's gone dry 
Not for the money, not for the fame 
Not for the power, just no more games 

Chorus 
But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado 
I can't replace the lies, that let a 1000 days go 
No more living trapped inside 
In her way I'll surely die 
In the eye of the tornado, blow me away 

You‘ll grow to loathe my name 
You'll hate me just the same 
You won't need your breath 
And soon you'll meet your death 
Not from the years, not from the use 
Not from the tears, just self abuse 

Who's to say, what's for me to say 
Who's to say, what's for me to be 
Who's to say, what's for me to do 
Cause a big nothing it'll be for me 

The land of opportunity 
The golden chance for me 
My future looks so bright 
Now I think I've seen the light 

Can't say what's on my mind 
Can't do what I really feel 
In this bed I made for me 
Is where I sleep, I really feel 

I warn you of the fate 
Proven true too late 
Your tongue twist perverse 
Come drink now of this curse 
And now I fill your brain 
I spin you round again 
My poison fills your head 
As I tuck you into bed 
You feel my fingertips 
You won't forget my lips 
You'll feel my cold breath 
It's the kiss of death

Dawn patrol
Thermal count is rising 
In perpetual writhing 
The primordial ooze 
And the sanity they lose 

Awakened in the morning 
To more air pollution warnings 
Still we sleepwalk off to work 
While our nervous systems jerk 

Pretending not to notice 
How history had forebode us 
With the green house in effect 
Our environment was wrecked 

Now I can only laugh 
As I read our epitaph 
We end our lives as moles 
In the dark of dawn patrol

Rust in peace... Polaris
Tremble you weaklings, cower in fear 
I am your ruler,land, sea and air 
Immense in my girth, erect I stand tall 
I am a nuclear murderer I am Polaris 

Ready to pounce at the touch of a button 
My system locked in on military gluttons 
  
Satan rears his ugly head, to spit into the wind 

Chorus 
I spread disease like a dog 
Discharge my payload a mile high 
Rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils 
I spread disease like a dog 
Discharge my payload a mile high 
Rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils 
Launch the Polaris,the end doesn't scare us 
When will this cease 
The warheads will all rust in peace 

Bomb shelters filled to the brim 
Survival such a silly whim 
World leaders sell missiles cheap 
Your stomach turns, your flesh creeps 
  
I rule on land, air and sea 
Pass judgement on humanity 
Winds blow from the bowels of hell 
Will we give warning,only time will tell 

Chorus 

High priest of holocaust, fire from the sea 
Nuclear winter spreading disease 
The day of final conflict 
All pay the price 
The third world war 
Rapes peace, takes life 

Back to the start, talk of the part 
When the Earth was cold as ice 
Total dismay as the sun passed away 
And the days were black as night 

Chotus 

Eradication of Earth's Population loves Polaris 
(Repeat)
