"Calm Before The Storm"

"Calm Before The Storm"



I always tried to keep the faith
And held my head up high

I stood against those tides of fear
And held onto my pride

Never lost the will to live
And this can't be denied
In the calm before the storm
In the calm before the storm

"Cathedral Spires"

"Cathedral Spires"


[Tipton/Downing]

They have blown away the daylight
Hours we had
Left a legacy, a deadly aftermath
We cannot exist in godforsaken lands
As we spiral down into oblivion
Breathing the fumes of fires that they ignite
Losing ground and we are all just losing sight
We shall never see another setting sun
Time to rise up and ascend, the end has come

No more willpower
Choked by hell fire

Darkness above
Blackening out the sun
Gripped by steel claws
Corrosion eating us

So before we're all devoured
Time to rise up and retire
In cathedral spires
Watching as the world expires
From amongst the clouds
In cathedral spires

No names
No graves

No prayers
Can save us

Ashes to dust
Doomsday's upon us now

It cannot be stopped
Genocide all is lost

Oh! We're so tired
Time to rise up and conspire in
Cathedral spires
Watching as our world expires
From up above the clouds
In cathedral spires

Jaws of corruption
Swallow us as one
Consuming every nation
Evoke resistance getting none
Complete disintegration
No good to defend
There can be but one outcome
We are no more - ascend

Vaporized fury
Offers no sanctuary
Oh! We're so tired
Time to rise up and retire
Watching as the world expires
From up above the clouds
In cathedral
In cathedral spires

Oh! We're so tired
Watching the world expire
Time that we retired
Up in cathedral spires

"Cheater"

"Cheater"


[Downing/Halford]

I got home late this evening, stumbled up the stair
I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked in the bedroom there
My woman with a man was lyin' fast asleep
I felt a rage inside me, control I couldn't keep

She was a cheater

I reached the dressing table, kicked away the door
I gripped the cold black metal, a loaded .44
By this time they're awake and they don't know what to do
I scream you cheatin' bitch here's what I think of you

You are a cheater

They both pleaded for mercy, I said no way
When you do this upon me, you have no say
I treated you so real good, and this is what you do
Oh no I've finished with you, your time is through

You are a cheater

If you need a cheater there's nobody sweeter than this one
There's no neater, come on here and meet her
Cheater, cheater, cheater, come on and meet her...

"Close To You"

"Close To You"


[G. Tipton, K.K. Downing]

So many years that we were one
So many things we've done
The memories alive
But most of me has died

As I struggle with events
I'm offered words of strength
They do not comprehend
The passion we possessed

People tell me what to do
Tell me how I should get through
But they haven't got a clue
No one else comes close to you

I see your eyes before they closed
They looked right inside my soul
And they asked me not to grieve
I tried but still I bleed

I wake up, I break up
Try hard to shake off
The desolation as it grows
As nothing else comes close

And as I stand here by the grave
And the wind calls out your name
I know that time could never heal
The emptiness I feel

People try to give me hope
Tell me how I should let go
But they'll never really know
'Cause there's nothing else comes close

People tell me what to do
Tell me how I should get through
But they haven't got a clue
No one else comes close to you

"Cold Blooded"

"Cold Blooded"



I have no face
I have no mind
I have no senses left
You see I'm blind

I feel no faith
I hear no truth
The reasonings I have
Have all come loose

There is no way
I have no voice
I have no say
I have no choice

I feel no pain or sympathy
It's just cold blood
That runs through me

I lie hear numb
My conscience clear
And all the decency
Tranfused to fear

I feel no faith
I hear no truth
The reasonings I have
Have all come loose

There is no way
I have no voice
I have no say
I have no choice

I feel no pain or sympathy
It's just cold blood
That runs through me

You took my life and all I live for
I'm left for dead
Cold blooded and in hell

There is no way
I have no voice
I have no say
I have no choice

I feel no pain or sympathy
It's just cold blood that runs through me

"Come And Get It"

"Come And Get It"


[Tipton/Halford/Downing]

Do you like it heavy
Do you love it mean
Do you want it dirty
We don't play it clean

Standing in the spotlight
Ceiling to the floor
I can see you rockin'
Let me hear you roar

Turn it up
Tear it down
Hammering through
Can you feel the sound

Any day, Any night
Midnight madness
Dynamite

If you want it
Come and get it
Do you want it
Come and get it

Can you feel the power
Blinded by the light
Keep on goin' crazy
Burnin' up the night

Shouting out together
Boiling like the sun
Metal lives forever
Blazing on and on

Turn it up
Tear it down
Hammering through
Can you feel the sound

Any day, Any night
Midnight madness
Dynamite

If you want it
Come and get it
Do you want it
Come and get it

Do you like it heavy
Do you love it loud

If you want it
Come and get it
Do you want it
Come and get it

"Conquest"

"Conquest"



The night of reckoning
The days of old
His might is menacing
Sword and shield made of gold

Conquest and fire
The age of desire
When man will be free once more
Like rays from the sun
That heal everyone
Living for evermore

Bow down in reverence
Keep faith be true
Give thans for armistice
Be brave he'll come through

Sword and shield of gold
The mighty stand alone

Conquest and fire
The age of desire
When man will be free once more
Like rays from the sun
That heal everyone
Living for evermore

Conquest and fire
We will be strong
Days of desire
Making us stronger

Revenge and reckoning
Beware of this god
His might is menacing
Shield made of gold

Conquest and fire
The age of desire
When man will be free once more
Like rays from the sun
That heal everyone
Living for evermore

Conquest and fire
We will be strong
Days of desire
Making us stronger

Conquest attest
Stands triumphant
Heaven sent - be vigilant
Don't relinquish

"Creatures"

"Creatures"



The night wind blows
Your heart rate grows
Your pulse is racing faster

They're on your trail
They know you'll fail
You're flirting with disaster

Creatures

The frost lies thick
Your breath comes quick
No chance for your survival

Life takes it's toll
And burns your soul
They've never had a rival

Creatures of the night
Born and raised to fight

Creatures of the night
Creatures of the night

Their sense of smell
Was honed in hell
Their eyes sharp as needles

You're bathed in sweat
You've lost your bet
Caught in this upheaval

Creatures

You're on your own
So scream and moan
It's pointless now for praying

They'll run you through
You'll get what's due
Then they'll call it a day

Creatures of the night
Born and raised to fight

Creatures of the night
Creatures of the night

Creatures

The night wind blows
Your heart rate grows

Creatures of the night
Born and raised to fight

Creatures of the night
Born and raised to fight

Creatures of the night

Creatures of the night

Creatures

"Crossfire"

"Crossfire"



Watch your own reflection
Read between the lines
Lost in this confusion
It's a sign of the times

Caught in the crossfire
You gotta let go
Caught in the crossfire
You gotta let go

Opium for the masses
World's gone deaf and dumb
Victims of insanity
Ruled by the gun

Caught in the crossfire
You gotta let go
Caught in the crossfire
You gotta let go

Too much information
Messes with your mind
Pushing back the enemy
Blind leads the blind

World of smoking mirrors
Leaves you in a daze
Find your own solution
Out of the maze

Searing on the bible
Hypocrites and fools
Losing your religion
Breaking all the rules

Caught in the crossfire
You gotta let go
Caught in the crossfire
You gotta let go

"Cyberface"

"Cyberface"


[G. Tipton, S. Travis]

He lies in wait
For one mistake
Morphing on your screen

Those who dare
Or the unaware
Download him for a scream

Don't access the site
Or beware his megabyte

No virus scan
Detects the man
Or the deadly tasks he plans

Drooling lips
His circuits lit
He crouches for attack

Spider like on the web
Alive and well
But you are dead
Iniquitous in every way
Now he's come out to play

Cyberface
Iron will
Programmed to corrupt and kill
Cyberface
No escape
He is interfaced to Hell

Once he's summoned and installed - Cyberface
He'll infest your motherboard - Cyberface

Now he's got a grip
He will strip away your flesh
Alive yet dead
A fiend obsessed
He'll crash your system down
Once in place
He'll simulate
Your life - it's worthless now

God forsaken
Grotesque mind
An entity
That's come alive
Boot your screen
And suddenly
Approaching fast and mean

Once he's summoned and installed - Cyberface
He'll infest your motherboard - Cyberface
