Running Wild - The First Years Of Piracy lyrics



Tracks



01. Under Jolly Roger

Weigh the anchor, hoist the sails
Cruisin' for booty on watery trails
No exploiter we see can still sail on
Our cannons fire till his ship goes down

Fly our flag, we teach them fear
Capture them, the end is near
Firing guns they shall burn
Surrender or fight there's no return

Under Jolly Roger

Venerable scoundrels, no blood on our hands
Our engagement are tough, but only for defence
Carefully we sail around the reefs
To force those die-hards to their knees

Fly our flag, we teach them fear
Capture them, the end is near
Firing guns they shall burn
Surrender or fight there's no return

Under Jolly Roger

Coming through the waves to free all the captives
Boarding the vessels we know all the tactics
We're the menace, the curse of the sea
We pulverize the man'o'war pay or flee

Fly our flag, we teach them fear
Capture them, the end is near
Firing guns they shall burn
Surrender or fight there's no return

Under Jolly Roger

02. Branded And Exiled

Red hot iron heated by living coal
Ready for branding to strike his goal
The torrid cast iron marks the leather
To banish the renegade from now on forever

Many relocated all across the land
Together we've got the power in our hands
We're strong enough to fight mendacious laws
We've got the wrath, 'cause we are
Branded & exiled
Together we can stand the night

Rabbits would sink into the morass of unjustice
They try to deliver it from the deep black abyss
Our shell of wrath explodes, they're winding like an ill
That day we're ready to make those bastards kneel

Many relocated all across the land
Together we've got the power in our hands
We're strong enough to fight mendacious laws
We've got the wrath, 'cause we are
Branded & exiled
Together we can stand the night

03. Soldiers Of Hell

Black shadows and black horses
Dark warriors out of hell
Mighty and evil
Reflection of an ancient tale
A gang appears beside you
They're the men you have to scare
You see their axes shining
And their long, black hair

Soldiers of hell, soldiers of hell
Soldiers of hell, soldiers of hell

Whiplashes, swordstrokes
The avaricious tyrant dies
Shining axes and shining spears
Black faces with mean, red eyes
A gang appears beside you
They're the men you have to scare
You see their axes shining
And their long black hair

Soldiers of Hell

04. Raise Your Fist

Friday night, dressed to kill, hell bent for the show
Shiny leather like a second skin, ready for their first row
You want to go meet your pals, but your dad won't let you go
He's to tally blind, babbling wild, and he rages and he blows

"I don't want you boy to live my house this way!
Your awful friends are gonna lead you astray
You better work for school don't join this fucking show
I won't let you go ! "

Come on kids unite and let us feel the flame of rage
Together we are strong so let's tear up this golden cage
We shall overcome repression and their stranding strings
The shackles have to fall and we will be metallian kings
Raise your fist

Monday morning, ringing school-bell, homework isn't done
Teacher's gonna break your balls, don't expect no fun
The jailor's wild and furious, classmates deride you
The wrath is overwhelming you, can't stand this fucking crew!

"I don't want you scums let me get away from here
I don't want to be a cogwheel in your gear
I'm not a marionette in your boring puppet show
So let me go ! "

Come on kids unite and let us feel the flame of rage
Together we are strong so let's tear up this golden cage
We shall overcome repression and their stranding strings
The shackles have to fall and we will be metallian kings
Raise your fist

05. Walpurgis Night

The streets are empty, all men are hidden home
I wonder why, what's going on here?
Someone shouts "stop boy" don't move on that way.
Tonight they're hunting for someone, for someone just like you.

I see fire, fire in the night
Symbols are burning so bright
It's the sign, the sign of women's fight
All men are so frightened

Thousand wild witches are srceaming through the night
They are thrilling with their magic, tragic is the daughter's fight
Pointing at me with their fingers, saying "you are the sin"
"Let's take him to our mountain to purify his soul"

I see fire, fire in the night
Symbols are burning so bright
It's the sign, the sign of women's fight
All men are so frightened

They bind me to a pole, naked they are beating with whips
They torture to inquire, hate is on their lips
Suddenly, the queen of the witches shouts "he is mine"
Naked she comes to violate me, there is no harder love in town

I see fire, fire in the night
Symbols are burning so bright
It's the sign, the sign of women's fight
All men are so frightened

06. Fight The Opression

Atomic warheads, weapons of all kind
Invented to destroy, to find their victims, to grind
Mendacious rulers, ministers of defence
Leading you to war, can't you see where it all ends

Total destruction, adversary's death
Contamination, epidemics, and fear
Bloodshed goes on till the very last breath
No remedy if blood feeds the gear
Fight the oppression, now
Fight the oppression, down

Megalomania, ruler's disease
Deceit and treason, your life is what they seize
All liberty is dying, to reign is the sense
Leading you to war, can't you see where it all ends

Total destruction, adversary's death
Contamination, epidemics, and fear
Bloodshed goes on till the very last breath
No remedy if blood feeds the gear
Fight the oppression, now
Fight the oppression, down

07. Marching To Die

Rabid war dogs are marching
Through the empty streets
Killing, laying waste
And spreading their leader's seed
Seduced by his lies and slanders
Which are pounding in their brain
The malediction of being used
To realize his magic aim

Marching to die
On their lips the battle cry
Marching to die
They don't ask the reasons why
Marching to die

Groundless they start a holocaust
The whole world through
They heel jews, turks and gypsies
And maybe you too
Fight against those new leaders
Prevent this dreadful war
We don't want this holocaust
So choke every spor

Marching to die
On their lips the battle cry
Marching to die
They don't ask the reasons why
Marching to die

08. Raw Ride

Racing through the night
Pounding engine's roar
There's nothing that's like this
I'm burning to the core
Exhaust hangs in the air
Wind pressure thrusts my face
I love to ride and dare
Tonight I'm being chased

Riding hard, riding fast
Full speed ahead, hear my engine's blast
Spinning wheels roll down the road
I'm a bundle of power, see my rims glow
Raw ride

On burning wheels tonight

Shooting through the dark
Taking bend after bend
Pistons are pumping hard
I'm gonna ride to the end
Twilight's coming slow
Like a jackal on attack
But I know I have to go
To go on and show my back

Riding hard, riding fast
Full speed ahead, hear my engine's blast
Spinning wheels roll down the road
I'm a bundle of power, see my rims glow
Raw ride

On burning wheels tonight

I have to break free, to live on my own way tonight
I don't give a goddamn, what you want to force upon me
Fuck you !!!

09. Diamonds Of The Black Chest

Since when he heard about the chest
He's so wild he can't get no rest
A million diamonds blinding his eyes
Brighter than fire but colder than ice
Sweat on his brow, greed burns his mind
Hands like claws his teeth always grind
Soaked by sweat he wakes up and screams
"Oh, no, it was only a dream"

Diamonds, diamonds
Diamonds of the black chest

Years and years he sought that chest
He runs most every risk the man's obsessed
For too many years he's roamed all the lands
To feel the diamonds in his hands
He find the hallow spot, breaking its lock
He opens the gate which is carved of rock
Finding the chest he exults and screams
"Oh, yeah, it's no dream"

Diamonds, diamonds
Diamonds of the black chest

He holds out his hands and he touches the chest
He breaks its seals, he disturbs its rest
Curious and slow he opens the lid
He stares over the edge, what he sees he can't grip
No diamonds but he sees own face
A possessed wreck with an empty gaze
Thrilled by madness he's dying in pain
"No dream, he's insane"

Diamonds, diamonds
Diamonds of the black chest

10. Prisoner Of Our Time

Paint in subways
Paint in busses
With your Edding big black pentagrams
Black metal graffitis are thrown against the wall
Crucifixes are inversed
Pictures are signed by the triple six
Black metal art is shocking law 'n' order man

Rockers of the underground
Black and heavy is our sound

Lost the money
Lost the job
Being catched by the cob
I am living not the role that you wanna give to me
Living life
My own way
Not tomorrow, but today
You are against me, but I tell you K. M. A.!!!

Rockers of the underground
Black and heavy is our sound

We are prisoners of our time
But we are still alive
Fight for the freedom, Fight for the right
We are Running Wild
