hero of the day
hero of the day
bbcode
hero of the day
kill-ride medley (castle donington, england -- 8-26-95)
hero of the day
the window burns to light the way back home
a light that warms no matter where they go
they're off to find the hero of the day
but what if they should fall by someone's wicked way

still the window burns
time so slowly turns
and someone there is sighing
keepers of the flames
do you feel your name?
did you hear your babies crying?
mama they try and break me
still they try and break me

excuse me while i tell them how to feel
these things we turn to me that still seem real
now deservingly this easy chair
but the rocking starts the wheels of this play

don't want your hate 
but the fist i make 
for you still no fear
no not on me
so please excuse me while i tell them how i feel

but now the dreams end
and now the dreams end
they everlast the night
so build a wall 
behind it crawl 
and hide until it's light
so can you hear your babies crying now?

still the window burns
time so slowly turns
and someone there is sighing
keepers of the flames
did you hear your name?
did you hear your babies crying?

but now the dreams end
and now the dreams end
they everlast the night
so build a wall 
behind it crawl 
and hide until it's light
so can't you hear your babies crying now?

mama they try and break me
mama they try and break me
mama they try and break me
mama they try
mama they try
mama they try and break me
mama they try and break me 
mama they try and break me
mama they try 
mama they try

kill-ride medley (castle donington, england -- 8-26-95)
ride the lightning
guilty as charged
but damn it, it ain't right
there is someone else controlling me

death in the air
strapped in the electric chair
this can't be happening to me

who made you god to say
"i'll take your life from you!"

flash before my eyes
now it's time to die
burning in my brain
i can feel the flames

wait for the sign
to flick the switch of death
it's the beginning of the end

sweat, chilling cold
as i watch death unfold
consciousness my only friend

my fingers grip with fear
what i am doing here?

flash before my eyes
now it's time to die
burning in my brain
i can feel the flames

someone help me
oh please god help me
they are trying to take it all away
i don't want to die

time moving slowly
the minutes seem like hours
the final curtain call i see

how true is this?
just get it over with
if this is true, just let it be

wakened by the horrid cream
freed from the frightening dream

flash before my eyes
now it's time to die
burning in my brain
i can feel the flames
					
no remorse
no mercy for what we are doing
no thought to even what we have done
we don't need to feel the sorrow
no remorse for the helpless one

war without end
no remorse no repent
we don't care what it meant
another day another death
another sorrow another breath
no remorse no repent
we don't care what it meant
another day another death
another sorrow another breath

blood feeds the war machine
as it eats its way across the land
we don't need the feel the sorrow
no remorse is the one command
war without end
no remorse no repent
we don't care what it meant
another day another death
another sorrow another breath
no remorse no repent
we don't care what it meant
another day another death
another sorrow another breath
only the strong survive
no one to save the weaker race
we are ready to kill all comers
like a loaded gun right at your face

war without end
no remorse no repent
we don't care what it meant
another day another death
another sorrow another breath
no remorse no repent
we don't care what it meant
another day another death
another sorrow another breath

attack
bullets are flying
people are dying
with madness surrounding all hell's breaking loose
soldiers are hounding
bodies are mounting
cannons are shouting to take their abuse
with war machines going
blood starts to flowing
no mercy given to anyone hear
the furious fighting
swords are like lighting
it all becomes frightening to you
know death is near
no remorse
					
hit the lights
no life till leather
we are gonna kick some ass tonight
we got the metal madness
when our fans start screaming
it's right well alright
when we start to rock
we never want to stop again

hit the lights
hit the lights
hit the lights

you know our fans are insane
we are gonna blow this place away
with volume higher
than anything today the only way
when we start to rock
we never want to stop again

hit the lights
hit the lights
hit the lights

with all our screaming
we are gonna rip right through your brain
we got the lethal power
it is causing you sweet pain oh sweet pain
when we start to rock
we never want to stop again

hit the lights
hit the lights
hit the lights
					
the four horsemen
by the last breath of the fourth winds blow
better raise your ears
the sound of hooves knocks at your door
lock up your wife and children now
it's time to wield the blade
for now you have got some company

the horsemen are drawing nearer
on the leather steeds they ride
they have come to take your life
on through the dead of night
with the four horsemen ride
or choose your fate and die

you have been dying since the day
you were born
you know it has all been planned
the quartet of deliverence rides
a sinner once a sinner twice
no need for confession now
cause now you have got the fight of your life

the horsemen are drawing nearer
on the leather steeds they ride
they have come to take your life
on through the dead of night
with the four horsemen ride
or choose your fate and die

time
has taken its toll on you
the lines that crack your face
famine
your body it has torn through
withered in every place
pestilence
for what you have had to endure
and what you have put others through
death
deliverence for you for sure
there is nothing you can do

so gather round young warriors now
and saddle up your steeds
killing scores with demon swords
now is the death of doers of wrong
swing the judgement hammer down
safely inside armor blood guts and sweat

the horsemen are drawing nearer
on the leather steeds they ride
they have come to take your life
on through the dead of night
with the four horsemen ride
or choose your fate and die
					
phantom lord
sound is ripping through your ears
the deafing sound of metal nears
your bodies waiting for his whips
the taste of leather on your lips

hear the cry of war
louder than before
with his sword in hand
to control the land
crushing metal strikes
on this frightening night
fall onto your knees
for the phantom lord

victims falling under chains
you hear them crying death pains
the fists of terrors breaking through
now there's nothing you can do

hear the cry of war
louder than before
with his sword in hand
to control the land
crushing metal strikes
on this frightening night
fall onto your knees
for the phantom lord

the leathered armies have prevailed
the phantom lord has never failed
smoke is lifting from the ground
the rising volume metal sound

hear the cry of war
louder than before
with his sword in hand
to control the land
crushing metal strikes
on this frightening night
fall onto your knees
for the phantom lord

fall to your knees
and bow to the phantom lord
					
fight fire with fire
do unto others as they have done unto you
but what in the hell is this world coming to?

blow the universe into nothingness
nuclear warfare shall lay us to rest

fight fire with fire
ending is near
fight fire with fire
bursting with fear

we shall die

time is like a fuse, short and burning fast
armageddon is here, like said in the past

fight fire with fire
ending is near
fight fire with fire
bursting with fear

soon to fill our lungs the hot winds of death
the gods are laughing, so take your last breath

fight fire with fire
ending is near
fight fire with fire
bursting with fear
