1.	In for the Kill 03:30	lyrics
IN FOR THE KILL Welcome to our gallery of guaranteed dismay Most grisly one in history a truly sickening array Presenting the best of this kind our specimens are fresh A repertoire from the sickest mind that ever became flesh In for the kill, in for the kill A dark temptation Should we’ve aroused your interest with bodies on display This show is for the most twisted for whom life is all inane Let us present our fruits of blade there’s a plenty of galore You can always participate but only as a corpse… In for the kill, in for the kill In for the kill, against your will It’s blood we’re all about In for the kill, live for the thrill As the light in your eyes dies out In for the kill, the sound of the spill In for the tearing apart In for the kill, live for the thrill We’re in for the love of the art… …of murder We’re artistes extraordinaires Masters of bladework Misunderstood geniuses Carvers of cadavers Death-dealers, blood-mongers Presenting a new world Satisfaction guaranteed Just a word and we deliver
2.	Out with Your Feet First 02:40	lyrics
OUT WITH YOUR FEET FIRST Don’t be fooled if I might seem calm I’m a mean motherfucker All I can hear are the voices in my ear Do you feel lucky, punk? Ch: You better be wishing I’m on a good mood You better take a listen and listen real good Stay out of my way ‘cos meeting with a fist hurts Got something to say? Don’t do it. Don’t you really get it where this is heading or are you just playing dumb? Out, out, out with your feet first! It’s gonna get bad, I gotta get mad I’m like a walking bomb Out, out, out with your feet first! Life is only pain knowing I’m insane my head is fucking messed up Out, out, out with your feet first! Any moment now you can see how my rage is gonna blow up Ch: You better be wishing I’m on a good mood You better take a listen and listen real good Stay out of my way ‘cos meeting with a fist hurts Got something to say? Then it’s out with your feet first!
3.	Raise a Riot 02:57	lyrics
RAISE A RIOT It was a night like no other night it started from a petty brawl You’d never expect such a light explode into a fire ball They’ve got no clue what just hit It wouldn’t matter if we all died Tonight is when you’re the king It’s such a rush, it’s such a high Ch: Make a scene, clench a fist Light a torch, feel the fire! Burn this town to a crisp Raise a bottle to raise a riot! Flaming cars are all around The swine are getting restless too Tossing bricks and debris now while they’re spitting bullets at you Take a hit, enjoy the pain Have a dance with a barbed wire Take a rock and let them rain This party’s gonna get even wilder Ch: Make a scene, clench a fist Light a torch, feel the fire! Burn this town to a crisp Raise a bottle to raise a riot! They’ve got no clue what just hit It wouldn’t matter if we all died Tonight is when you’re the king It’s such a rush, it’s such a high Take a hit, enjoy the pain Have a dance with a barbed wire Take a rock and let them rain This party’s gonna get even wilder Ch: Make a scene, clench a fist Light a torch, feel the fire! Burn this town to a crisp Raise a bottle to raise a riot! Make a scene, clench a fist Light a torch, feel the fire! Burn this town to a crisp Raise a hell, raise a riot!
4.	In the Wake of Burning Churches 02:45	lyrics
IN THE WAKE OF BURNING CHURCHES Oh righteous father with your conceited grin Cast the wrath of God for I… I have sinned Oh what is it, my child that so burdens your heart Come here, sit on my lap and I will show you God… Ch: And again he prays the man of God, for more prey Inside his precious church not foreseeing it would soon burn Oh dear, my little child what have you done Did you not feel the love inside the house of God? Oh you foolish father can you feel the warmth for it’s not of God’s but from the cleansing fire… Ch: And there he stands the man of God, the man in black Waiting for the rain finding only ashes of his faith
5.	The Madman's Portrait 04:11	lyrics
THE MADMAN’S PORTRAIT Enter an old mansion a place of decadence, death, lust Inside there lies tension Secret life beneath the dust Dark stories about this place say it’s full of mystery Surrounded by all-day haze A house of blooded history Ch: And from the corner of your eye you can tell an insane smile Don’t you turn your back on it Something’s moving, something’s moving Consider this a warning bringing all your fears to light Before it turns to morning all the shadows come to life It’s the madman’s portrait staring at you from the wall And for a passing moment you can see his eyes a’roll… Ch: And from the corner of your eye you can tell an insane smile Never turn your back on that man or he’ll take to a whole new land… …Take my hand Come to the other side for the ride of your life I have such sights to show you… Ch: And from the corner of your eye you can tell an insane smile By the look of his twisted face Are you ready for death’s embrace?
6.	The Devil's Tune 02:05	lyrics
THE DEVIL’S TUNE Heading for the road No one’s in the way A nightly revving show High on high octane Ride until it’s morning Never gets too late From twilight to the dawning Join and seal your fate Chorus: Look into the mirror I am what you’ll see I am the riding terror on fiery wheels of steel All I wanna hear is the roar and boom It’s music to my ears Sing to the Devil’s Tune! Feel the full-on throttle, speeding on the rammer The night is getting hotter with my Thunder Hammer Pumping blood and gasoline, a blinding flash of light Life is full of ecstasy as I charge into the night Chorus: Look into the mirror I am what you’ll see I am the riding terror on fiery wheels of steel All I wanna hear is the roar and boom It’s music to my ears Sing to the Devil’s Tune! Sing! Sing! Sing to the Devil… Sing! Sing! Sing to the Devil…
7.	Darkness Brings the Beast 03:08	lyrics
DARKNESS BRINGS THE BEAST Shades that hide the fiercest of creatures Crawl in the deadliest kind Death shall rise in grimmest of features Lurking at you in the night Pre-chorus: It’s hissing and squirming It’s twisting and worming The lowest of reptiles under your bed While tossing and turning you’re screaming, you’re burning It’s making you wish you were dead… The beast! ... inside your head! The beast! …inside your head! Pre-chorus: It’s hissing and squirming It’s twisting and worming The lowest of reptiles under your bed While tossing and turning you’re screaming, you’re burning It’s making you wish you were dead… Ch: Into the mouth of the beast The bottomless gorge! Beware, behold, something’s in the air You know it’s ready to shoot Now there’s more, and they’re everywhere Sizzling and spitting at you Pre-chorus: They’re hissing and squirming They’re twisting and worming The lowest of reptiles under your bed While tossing and turning you’re screaming, you’re burning They’re making you wish you were dead… Ch: Into the mouth of the beast The bottomless gorge! The darkness brings the beast!
8.	The Fire of Contempt 03:27	lyrics
THE FIRE OF CONTEMPT A blackened horizon embellished with thick smoke rising heavy to the skies A prosperous kingdom blemished with their blood before our joyful eyes Ch: One must forever burn burn, down! Burn down! Forever burn Burn, now! in the fire of contempt Like savage beasts the hordes take the night endless is torment A joyous feast that once was full of life turns to an interment Ch: One must forever burn burn, down! Burn down! Forever burn Burn, now! in the fire of contempt It feels so good to see the kiss of flames Watch their cinders fly away …for good! Ch: One must forever burn burn, down! Burn down! Forever burn Burn, now! in the fire of contempt
9.	Apex Beast 02:53	lyrics
APEX BEAST Don’t spare no one Make each and every death a slow one Slit their throats in their beds crush their babies´, infant heads don’t stop ‘till everyone is dead Right before you leave the house burn it down to the ground pyre for the weaker flesh Chorus: Man made obsolete Hail a darker breed make no haste, face your faith, die in vain apex beast! Mark my words I’ll kill you all and I will make it hurt As blood becomes my new black the final proof that I lack aptitude for empathy, human nature, sympathy let out the beast in me let out feed, feed, feed My knife makes me more than a man knife makes me more than I am Can´t stop - killing spree blood and death - bloody screams Termination in the first degree Death! comes! death! comes! Chorus: Man made obsolete Hail a darker breed make no haste, face your faith, die in vain apex beast!
10.	Shoot 'em in the Head 03:21	lyrics
SHOOT 'EM IN THE HEAD I woke up in the psych ward, they were screaming 'bout the living dead Funny – that's what I was in there for! Those zombies weren't just in my head! News guy sobbed in horror 'bout biological weapon testing gone oh so wrong I saw some pray for their gods in vain I told them the only thing they should do is to shoot 'em undead in the head! A year has gone and I'm still going strong 'though I've seen so many fall I guess it's kinda hard to see your family want to feast on your brain But the thing, you see, is as simple as this: you gotta fight to survive 'cause the only thing that a zombie needs is a bullet through the head Some misguided souls think this is a punishment for our sins and pray that God forgives But me? Well, I believe the only thing left to do is to shoot 'em zombies in the head Fortify! Prepare yourself! Any minute they'll be there A hungry horde of living dead craving for your flesh! There will be no use for sympathy You'd do better without fear Just forget they were human once, grab your gun and raise hell! Shoot 'em, shoot 'em Shoot 'em in the head Shoot 'em, shoot 'em You gotta shoot 'em zombies!
11.	Last Man Wears the Crown 05:45	lyrics
LAST MAN WEARS THE CROWN Can you see this land, what's left of it, scarred and soaked with blood? In the ruins of those once proud towns bones of my rivals lie Yet I only did what I was told to do to win this mighty prize I followed all the rules and prophecies to see the world through an emperor's eyes Chorus: Ready to fight to take what is mine I held my ground last man wears the crown I'm on my way to fulfill my fate immortality's mine Last man wears the crown I remember the fighting, I remember the wars It was a bloody symphony The world had never seen such cruelty, blood flowing like wine Chorus: Ready to fight to take what is mine I held my ground last man wears the crown I'm on my way to fulfill my fate immortality's mine Last man wears the crown Mushroom clouds, viral outbreaks screaming children burned with napalm Mothers raped with branding irons to satisfy my ambitions I hail thee, Darkness, my only friend Now that my world has come to its end No Phoenix will rise from the ashes of the land destroyed by my hand I only did what I was told to do but the prize was just a lie I followed all the rules and prophecies to see the world through a failure's eyes Here I am, the only one still standing, the crown of thorns in my hand I remain to rule this nothingness bleak and radiated land Chorus: Ready to fight to take what is mine I held my ground last man wears the crown I'm on my way to fulfill my fate immortality's mine Last man wears the crown
