01. The Gates Of Gehenna

[Part 1 - The Grand Deception]

Look on high son of man I stand before you,
Cesestial traveller of time and space.
Take my hand,
Discover realms beyond the living.
Cast aside the mortal fears,
That ever plague your race.
Leave your world behind,
Seek and you will find the Gates of Gehenna.

[Part 2 - Beyond The Veil]

Sinners scream,
From tormented fate,
Redemption but a dream too late.
Damnated souls,
In the aftermath,
Of Gods own wrath.
With paradise lost forever... And ever!

[Part 3 - Truth Unmasked]

Now you will know your reason here
Mine is Lucifer, destructor, abductor of your soul.
Seek not escape,
Once lured to Hell's own kingdom.
None may elude my presence,
Nor relinquish my dread control.
You are sold to brutality,
Never to break free the Gates of Gehenna.

[Part 4 - Requiem]

My fate is sealed in shadow,
Denied the gift of light.
Cast down,
Damnated,
Banished from salvations sight.
The prey,
Of the betrayer.
Spirits never finding peace,
An eternity,
Of suffering,
Possessed without release.

You'll never get away, no!

02. Stormrider

Behold the heavens darken
Storm clouds the light of day.
Tunder proclaims his coming
The lash of lightening
Paves his way.

All thatfalls before him
Lies shattered in his wake,
Victim of the fury
That makes the very
Mountains shake.

Beware there goes stormrider
He's coming for you and me.
Better keep a running
Cause to die is not to flee
Stormrider.

Driving like a demon
Bringing onward
Wind and rain.
His presence enrages
Storm into hurricaine.

Turn the tides of destruction
When rider roars on high.
Expect no mercy
Now get ready
Stormriders time is nigh.

See the darkness engulfing everywhere,
Feel the violence hanging in the air.
Prepare make haste
Get ready to defy,
When stormrider cracks the sky.

03. Back In The USA

Get ready for some action,
People of America
Take your turn today.
Come see the mainline
Attraction, guaranteed
To rock all your bles away

Say hello Chicago
Were gonna rock
From Detroit to LA
It's great to be here
In Kansas city
Nowehere else
That we'd rather stay

Rocking in the US Back in the US of A.
Rocking in the US Back in the US of A.

I get the strangest feeling
When I unpack my case
See the sights
Of New York city
My pulse begins to race

So get off your seat
And on your feet
We'll bring the walls
Right in on this place.
Come on and face the music
We got the time
If you can stand the pace.

Down, get down (Woah)
Down, get down (Woah)

Let the beat carry you away!

04. Starship Sentinel

From beyond the outermost reaches of our solar system,
Dwells an all powerful lifeform. For whom space and time
Holds no dominion.
Guardian of the galaxy... Overseer from the stars.

Long have I gazed towards
Your spinning sphere of sadness.
My spirit have grieved for you
In anger and despair.
I can restore reason
Provide a path that
All might follow.
A beacon in the darkness
To contentment fair.

I'm the starship Sentinel
Last of a time forgotten race.
I've grown weary of the anguish,
Adorning mans embittered face.
Let me bring enlightenment
To a world that's lost it's way.
Rebuild a brave tomorrow,
Heed my word this day.

Your multitudes oppressed possessed by doubts and fleeting fears
In adversity desperation
Through tormented troubled years.
Now change it rearrange it.

Equality is not a dream
Beyond endevour
Let it be a goal that can and must be attained
Sensibility is the key to cure your ills forever
That the unity of man can be gained.

The sands of time are running out,man must make a stand
Another lifeless victim.
Another bloodstasined hand.
You must overthrow corrution free the world that gave you birth
Don't seal your own destruction
Poor deluded children of planet Earth
