AMERICAN PSYCHO
---------------
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, whoa
Go

Inside a Wall Street mind a psycho lurks
Lines of cocaine cut in Hell
Obsessive hands gently grab your neck
Compulsively you'll die... I hate people

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, whoa-oh
Struggling to breathe, go

The sweet asphyxiation and dismemberment
Sex puts me in the mood to make you die
Obsessive hands gently grab your neck
Look into sick eyes... I hate people

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, whoa-oh
Struggling to breathe

Go - A machine of penalty
Go - The sweet insanity
Go - Fade to black tranquility

Go - You're looking through the eyes of a psycho, whoa-oh
An American Psycho, whoa-oh
An American Psycho, whoa-oh
An American Psycho

Psycho

Inside a Wall Street mind a psycho lurks
Lines of cocaine cut in Hell
Obsessive hands gently grab your neck
Compulsively you'll die... I hate people

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, Oh-Oh-Oh, whoa-oh
Struggling to breathe

Go - A machine of penalty
Go - The sweet insanity
Go - Fade to black tranquility
Go - You're looking through the eyes of a psycho, whoa-oh
An American Psycho, whoa-oh
An American Psycho, whoa-oh
An American Psycho

Psycho, psycho, psycho, psycho


SPEAK OF THE DEVIL
------------------
Traded in my bible for a little black cat
The time of Armageddon's here
Some call me the son of the morning
God knows I'm the angel of light

I drink my water from a wolf's footprint
My soul's redemptive work of Christ
God knows I'm the angel of light

Speak of the Devil
Speak of the Devil
Devil

Believers be on guard
Be strong and take a stand
The time of Armageddon's here
Some call me the son of the morning

Speak of the Devil
Speak of the Devil
Speak of the Devil
Speak of the Devil
Speak of the Devil
Speak of the Devil
Speak of the Devil
Speak of the Devil
Devil, devil


WALK AMONG US
-------------
They'll find pieces of you 
Scattered on the ground
I am the mad man in your dreams
We are the evil ones

We need the planet to demonstrate
We want your body to incubate
Begin the breeding of an alien superior race
That in which will ultimately dominate

Give into what you cannot fight
Walk among us
Whoa-oh
Walk among us

The abductions have already begun
All around us we've infected someone you love
Initiate the start of an alien war
We've already won

Give into what you cannot fight
Walk among us
Whoa-oh
Walk among us
Whoa-oh
Walk among us
Whoa-oh
Walk among us


THE HUNGER 
----------
We become
Erupt in violence
Destroy the silence
Our time has come
Go

We are the outcasted, ancient descendents
The ones who've been calling and
Would you still die for the dead, yet still living
Starved of a time that's now come, whoa-oh

We are the children
The hungry children

We become
Erupt in violence
Seduce the silence
Our time has come
Go

We are the kindred, Hell's ancient descendent slaves
Begging the night not to go
Would you still die for the dead, yet still living
Starved of a life that's now gone, whoa-oh

We are the children
The hungry children

We become
Blood quench the hunger
You want it, you need it
Blood quench the hunger
You want it, you need it
Blood quench the hunger
You want it, you need it

Oh, whoa


FROM HELL THEY CAME
-------------------
In the night
I hear voices calling
They seem to speak my name

Glowing bright
I see the eyes of demons
Reaching up beyond the grave

And I think from Hell they came
Oh, I think from Hell they came
I think from Hell they came
Oh, I think from Hell they came

Dark the night
Their cries so lonely
Feel their need inside

I can't fight
This eternal longing
Feast on flesh, these ghouls tonight

And I think from Hell they came
Oh, I think from Hell they came
I think from Hell they came
Oh, I think from Hell they came

Oh
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Oh

In the night
I hear voices calling
They seem to speak my name

Glowing bright
I see the eyes of demons
Reaching up beyond the grave

And I think from Hell they came
Oh, I think from Hell they came
I think from Hell they came
Oh, I think from Hell they came


DIG UP HER BONES
----------------
Anything is what she is
Anywhere is where she's from
Anything is what she'll be
Anything as long as it's mine
And the door, it opens, is the way back in
Or is it the way back out

Anyplace is where she'll be
Anyplace, she'll see you from
Lies and secrets become your world
Any time, anywhere, she takes me away
And death climbs up the steps one by one
To give you the rose 
That's been burnt by her son

Point me to the sky above
I can get there on my own
Walk me to the graveyard
Dig up her bones

I have seen the demon's face
I have heard of her death place
I fall down on my knees in praise of the
Horrible things that took her away
And death climbs up the steps one by one
To give you the rose 
That's been burnt by her son

Point me to the sky above
I can get there on my own
Walk me to the graveyard
Dig up her bones

Point me to the sky above
I can get there on my own
Walk me to the graveyard
Dig up her bones

Bones


BLACKLIGHT
----------
A pounding pulse stirs anxious feelings inside
Sick breaths of undead life

"Help me angel evil" cried
The children of the night
Take this wasted mortal life
Melt me into blacklight

Lie on the floor and let the body die
Become the beasts in which you fear

"Help me angel evil" cried
The children of the night
Take this wasted mortal life
Melt me into blacklight

"Help me angel evil" cried
The children of the night
Take this wasted mortal life
Melt me into blacklight

On
Go


RESURRECTION
------------
Complications inside of me
Reminds me that my heart won't always beat
The ugly face of death that's smiling
At my rotting teeth

I will die here in this sorrow
I was waiting for tomorrow
Palpitate the pulse until
You feel my heart explode against the wall

Oh

Talk about me
Laugh about me
Cry about me
Nail me to the cross
I'll be a martyr for the hated
The weak, the ugly, the lost

I will die here in this sorrow
I won't wait for tomorrow
Palpitate the pulse until
You resurrect my soul from the wall

Whoa

Talk about me
Laugh about me
Cry about me
Nail me to the cross

Whoa
Whoa
Whoa


DEAD KINGS RISE [LP bonus track]
---------------
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

Bound by battle scars
When the savages reigned
The lord of war
From his right hand man betrayed
Beneath the battle field
His murdered corpse they hide
Oh, curse from Hell
Avenge my death
Avenge the lies

(Oh) Flesh they stole
But the soul is not begotten
(Oh) Through the gates of Hell
I'll seize my throne
(Oh) Feel my sword
Though the flesh be dead and rotten
(Oh) Dead kings rise for
Vengeance owed

Bound by battle scars
When the savages reigned
The lord of war
From his right hand man betrayed
Beneath the battle field
His murdered corpse they hide
Oh, curse from Hell
Avenge my death
Avenge the lies

(Oh) Flesh they stole
But the soul is not begotten
(Oh) Through the gates of Hell
I'll seize my throne
(Oh) Feel my sword
Though the flesh be dead and rotten
(Oh) Dead kings rise for
Vengeance owed

Woah-oh

(Oh) Flesh they stole
But the soul is not begotten
(Oh) Through the gates of Hell
I'll seize my throne
(Oh) Feel my sword
Though the flesh be dead and rotten
(Oh) Dead kings rise for
Vengeance owed

Oh-oh-oh-oh, hey, hey
Oh-oh-oh-oh


THIS ISLAND EARTH
-----------------
Furious the exodus walks
Along the maddening march of death
With the furor and the masses
Whose supremacies is the dominion
Alien bodies stiff and cold
Your inner sane turns numb
You transform into a rage
Too naive to understand

And as they go on the sacrifice grows
We're living on ground zero, fire
This island earth
Target locked, systems checked, enter code
We're living on ground zero, fire 
(Fire, this island earth)

Locked up in a room
Human beings in a cage
The sentence a scienced death
As they pull the triggers of ray guns
Evil blackened eyes of youth
Absorbing life's hidden anguish
Death thrown all about the ground
Or those who wouldn't fight

And as they go on the sacrifice grows
We're living on ground zero, fire
This island earth
Target locked, systems checked, enter code
We're living on ground zero, fire 
(Fire, this island earth)

We're living on this island earth (this island earth)
We're living on this island earth (this island earth)
We're living on this island earth (this island earth)
We're living on this island earth 


CRIMSON GHOST
-------------
Whoa
I know your every move behind this face
I have control over expendable slaves
When confrontation comes down to the wire
I'll use my Cyclotrode and commence the fire

You're never gonna get me
You're never gonna get me
You're never gonna get me
You're never gonna get me

Being followed, I get quick to the chase
I take my Cyclotrode right out of the case
Atomic force electrocutes your motor
Leaving dead in flames I always escape

You're never gonna get me
You're never gonna get me
You're never gonna get me
I'm the Crimson Ghost

You're never gonna get me
You're never gonna get me
You're never gonna get me
I'm the Crimson Ghost

Never gonna get me
Never gonna get me
Never gonna get me
I'm the Crimson Ghost
Never gonna get me
I'm the Crimson Ghost

Never gonna get me
Never gonna get me
Never gonna get me
I'm the Crimson Ghost
Never gonna get me
I'm the Crimson Ghost

Never gonna get me
Never gonna get me
Never gonna get me
I'm the Crimson Ghost
Never gonna get me
I'm the Crimson Ghost


DAY OF THE DEAD
---------------
Hell is full time to empty
Human flesh feeding frenzy
Woah oh, "Here comes the dead"

Open graves, ghouls a plenty
Zombie army machine is ready
Woah oh, "Here comes the dead"

When the dead come arising
You see their eyes, you're hypnotized and
They eat your guts out
And now you're the "Living Dead"

When the dead come arising
You see their eyes, you're hypnotized and
They eat your guts out
And now you're the "Living Dead"

Oh, oh, "here comes the dead"
Oh, oh, "here comes the dead"
Oh, oh, "here comes the dead"
Oh, oh, "here comes the dead"

"Here comes the dead"
"Here comes the dead"
"Here comes the dead"

Here comes, here comes the dead


THE HAUNTING
------------
The darkness bleeds violent sights
It purges from within
Death, it holds you in its arms
And kisses you goodnight

Oh, oh, oh, the darkness comes
Oh, oh, oh, I feel its bite
Oh, it purges from within

It's over, it's over
This haunting, it's over
They cut my wrists, and watch me bleed
Inside a dream

It's over, it's over
This haunting, it's over
They cut my wrists and watch me bleed
They stop haunting me

The darkness bleeds violent sights
It purges from within
Death, it holds you in its arms
And kisses you goodnight

Oh, oh, oh, the darkness comes
Oh, oh, oh, I feel its bite
Oh, it purges from within

It's over, it's over
This haunting, it's over
They cut my wrists, and watch me bleed
Inside a dream

It's over, it's over
This haunting, it's over
They cut my wrists and watch me bleed
They stop haunting me


MARS ATTACKS
------------
Their eyes for many centuries
Peered in from space
Sincere the hope, their wise believed
They could teach our race

But yet on Mars, a darker side
Like all things that God made
Their tribe of war, would heed them not
"Earth they must invade"

See: the fire in the skies
See: them devastate the land
Mars attacks: the warlord chief commands

See: the humans fight and die
See: our planet laid to waste
Mars attacks: monsters invade the earth from space

It was then, in our darkest hour
When everything seemed lost
The hearts of men would not concede
No matter what the cost

They forged a sword of sound and steel
Upon the Martian doors
The voice of war would thunder there
And "Mars would be no more"

See: the Martian cities fall
See: the death of the warrior tribe
Mars attacks, now their planet won't survive

See: their world turn into ash
See: the terror on their face
Mars explodes, cast out as rubble into space

Woah-oh, oh, oh
Woah-oh, oh, oh
Mars Attacks: monsters invade the earth from space

Woah-oh, oh, oh
Woah-oh, oh, oh
Woah-oh, oh, oh


HATE THE LIVING, LOVE THE DEAD
------------------------------
Hate the living, love the dead
Smashing embryos, cut off heads
Find the brain for my bride-to-be
We'll bear our children, Adam and Eve

Put me together with the bodies of the dead
And I will wait for life and breathe again
Hate the living, love the dead

Scalpels, scissors, stitches, skin
Wake this eternal sleep she's in
And we'll breed for you, on your command
Hate the living, love the dead

Nerves steady, hands are sure
Bride reborn to view with horror
Blackened eyes, blood-stained hands
Hate the living, love the dead

Put me together with the bodies of the dead
And I will wait for life and breathe again
Hate the living, love the dead

Scalpels, scissors, stitches, skin
Wake this eternal sleep she's in
And we'll breed for you, on your command
Hate the living, love the dead

Put me together with the bodies of the dead
And I will wait for life and breathe again
Hate the living, love the dead

Scalpels, scissors, stitches, skin
Wake this eternal sleep she's in
And we'll breed for you, on your command
Hate the living, love the dead

Oh


SHINING
-------
Oh

Control the urge to spit up vile worms... soul
Monsters seduced by her attention
Try draining the infection
Whoa-go
Go, oh

Locked in a world of vomit-soaked skin, heaven
Monsters seduced by her attention
She's draining the infection

"Carol Anne," the beast is calling
"Carol Anne, Carol Anne," she can hear souls sing
"Carol Anne," the beast it needs you
Here it comes, here it comes
Reaching out somewhere from inside your TV
Whoa-go
Go, oh

Control the urge to spit up vile worms... soul
Monsters seduced by her attention
Try draining the infection
Whoa-oh

"Carol Anne," the beast is calling
"Carol Anne, Carol Anne," she can hear souls sing
"Carol Anne," the beast it needs you
Here it comes, here it comes
Reaching out somewhere from inside your TV

"Carol Anne," the beast is calling
"Carol Anne, Carol Anne," she can hear souls sing
"Carol Anne," the beast it needs you
Here it comes, here it comes
Reaching out somewhere from inside your TV


DON'T OPEN 'TIL DOOMSDAY
------------------------
Buried beneath the statue, the answer hides
Enduring throughout the ages
The transmitter lies
Once the chambers open the signal will be sent
To another world... far beyond the stars

Don't open 'til doomsday
Destruction's not far away
Don't open 'til doomsday
You might not like what you find 

Don't open 'til doomsday
Destruction's not far away
Don't open 'til doomsday
You might not like what you find inside

We were warned of this coming so long ago
Immortal secrets... man shouldn't know
Entering a realm where we just don't belong
We called them and they're coming

Don't open 'til doomsday
Destruction's not far away
Don't open 'til doomsday
You might not like what you find inside

Don't open 'til doomsday
(Inside) Destruction's not far away
(Inside) Don't open 'til doomsday
You might not like what you find
You might not like what you find inside


HELL NIGHT [CD bonus track]
----------
Thirteen have come and gone
Crimson death, crimson blood
Rise from Hell, its fire burns everywhere

Thirteen, the spell's begun
Summon up the devil's son
A monster born within everyone

I know it must be stopped
It's kill or be killed

Hell night, whoa
Hell night, whoa
Hell night, whoa
Hell night, whoa

The thirteen we must find
Burning gives us little time
Kill them fast and get away

The thirteen have been slain
And are laid in shallow graves
We must destroy everything at the scene

And I know it must be killed 
It's kill or be killed

Hell night, whoa
Hell night, whoa
Hell night, whoa
Hell night, whoa

And I know it must be killed
It's kill or be killed

Hell night, whoa
Hell night, whoa
Hell night, whoa
Hell night, whoa
Hell night, whoa
Hell night, whoa
