Violence And Bloodshed Civilization crumblin` fast End the world with a blast People afraid walkin` the streets Scums have their day `Til they run into me Are you ready ? Livin` in fear ain`t livin to me I`m armed with a gun defending the free They blew it in `Nam Shot up my friends I`m back in the street The fight never ends I was born with a gun in my hand I`ll die for my country But I`ll die like a man Violence and Bloodshed Violence and Bloodshed Violence and Bloodshed Now that we`re back to animal law The payback`s a bitch I`m paying all All my life I been waitin` to see Who`s gonna win, crumbs or me Are you ready ? My brother`s still in Da-Nang Puttin` an ad in the back of Kerrang I`m lookin` for people who just wanna kill We`ll go back to `Nam `cause no one else win Land of the free Home of the brave Now that`s how it is And that`s how it stays Violence and Bloodshed Violence and Bloodshed Violence and Bloodshed 5. Defender When you are old enough to read these words Their meaning will unfold These words are all that`s left And though we`ve never met, my only sun I hope you know That I would have been there to watch you grow But my call was heard and I did go Now your mission lies ahead of you As it did my so long ago To help the helpless ones who all look up to you And to defend them to the end Defender Ride like the wind Fight proud, my son You`re the defender God has sent Father,father,father I look up to you and heed thy call This letter ends my search I`ll live your dream now passed on to me And I now wait to shake the hand of fate Like the dusk awaiting dawn So wizards cast your spell With no heart to do me well So it is written, it shall be Defender Ride like the wind Fight proud, my son You`re the defender God has sent 6. Drums Of Doom Damnation, Religion Salvation, Fire Ad Steel 7. Holy War I have seen the fire Of the thousands suns pass by While blasphemers spread their Gospel Bearing false witness Now we rise All ye children of the wild Fists like hammers fill the air Vast legions all immortal Smash the stillness everywhere Holy, Holy War Holy We are fighting, fighting a Holy War Holy War See us fly on winds of doom Holy War Baptized in Fire and Steel Holy War For the end we bring is soon Holy War Now face the storm A Holy War Brothers of metal know no masters Metal`s our religion Take it to the grave Rulers of the earth Our dawn of glory All reborn we live again Hold true, ye sacred army Our last battle is at hand Sweep this dogs from our kingdom Bless this ground, our holy land Holy, Holy War Holy We are fighting, fighting a Holy War Holy War See us fly on winds of doom Holy War Baptized in Fire and Steel Holy War For the end we bring is soon Holy War Now face the storm A Holy War 8. Master Of Revenge Black Dogs howl in the night The Lion is dead! A Solitary Messenger The Master of Revenge 9. Black Wind, Fire And Steel Fool moon`s light is calling me My kingdom lies within The mystic soul and lion`s heart Brought by the talisman. The ecstasy of battle takes me Where the falcons fly. Immortal youth was granted me I will never die. Born of Black Wind, Fire and Steel Born of Black Wind, Fire and Steel Born to teach them all to heel Black Wind, Fire and Steel. Pounded by the hammers Of the giants of the world. I can see in darkness, I`m the overlord Single combat I await My shadow brings them fear. The spikes upon my chariot Will grind them when they`re near. Born of Black Wind, Fire and Steel Born of Black Wind, Fire and Steel Born to teach them all to heel Black Wind, Fire and Steel. I am an outcast On the path of no return. Punisher and swordsman I was born to burn. Black Wind always follows Where my black horse rides. Fire`s in my soul Steel is on my side. Born of Black Wind, Fire and Steel Born of Black Wind, Fire and Steel Born to teach them all to heel Black Wind, Fire and Steel. I am an outcast On the path of no return. Punisher and swordsman I was born to burn. Black Wind always follows Where my black horse rides. Fire`s in my soul Steel is on my side. Born of Black Wind, Fire and Steel Born of Black Wind, Fire and Steel Born to teach them all to heel Black Wind, Fire and Steel.
