Warlord - And The Cannons Of Destruction Have Begun... lyrics



Tracks



01. Beginning

[Instrumental]

02. Lucifer's Hammer

It comes through the heavens, on a mission from hell
A force of destruction, that nothing can repel
A story is born that no one will live to tell

The obliteration of man, now encased in its shell
At the push of a button, we all will go to hell
Who will be left to toll the funeral bell . . .

The Hammer will Fall on you!
The Hammer will Fall on you!

Devastation, destruction of all the nations
Annihilation, clouding of all the skies
Raise the dead from their graves, and throw in yourselves and hide

Save us - from ourselves
Save us - from ourselves
Save us - from ourselves
Save us - from ourselves
Save us . . .

03. Lost And Lonely Days

She came to me I thought i found her
the girl of all my dreams
And until then I did not know what
happiness could bring
We laughed we cried side by side
the summers turned to years
But winter came the skies have grayed
from happiness to tears

She said she would never leave me
never let me go
But now she's left with me this feeling
so sad and so alone
She went away I tried to find her
I cried aloud her name
I realized it was goodbye
the heartache and the pain

Why did she go away and leave me with the heartache
Why did she leave me with the pain
If I could tell her so I'd tell her that I love her
and all my dreams have gone away
these Lost and Lonely Days

If you could feel the way I feel about you
hear the things I say
If you could see the way I am without you
these Lost and Lonely Days

04. Black Mass

On the eve of tribulation
before the morrow's wrath
it was then that the covens gathered
for the final black mass!
The moon it was full
and the time had come for us all
the sun it was gone
and the people awaited their call
the devil was there
with the fire burning in the air
the demons they danced
and drank from the chalice they shared
nobody cared!

Now the evil of man
had passed by the act of Lucifer's kiss
and the evil broke loose
from the tombs of hell's fiery abyss
the devil was there
with the fire burning in the air
the demons they danced
and drank from the chalice they shared

now the prince knelt down
for communion of the time that he fast
and the father he blessed
his child with the blood of the black mass!
Black mass!

05. Soliloquy

I feel the pain inside my heart
like a knife it tears me apart
My tears they shed I have no one
God, please tell me what i have done

I have no friends, no one who cares
nobody with love they can share
They laugh at me! I don't know why!
I lock the door and i cry!

I see myself I am a man
just like you and all of your friends
My heart so warm shattered like glass
don't know how much longer I can last

I have no friends, no one who cares
nobody with love they can share
They laugh at me! I don't know why!
I lock the door and I cry!

Alone again! I'm . . . alone again!
Alone again! I'm . . . alone again!
Well that's how it will be 'til the end.

So when I die no one will care
I ask you do you think that it's fair?
Soliloquy! Well that's my plea
won't someone please believe in me?

I have no friends, no one who cares
nobody with love they can share
they laugh at me! i don't know why!
I lock the door and i cry!

Alone again! I'm . . . alone again!
Alone again! I'm . . . alone again!
Well that's how it will be 'til the end.

06. Aliens

Through Pioneer 10 and Voyager 1
We've launched our knowledge to other suns
Aspiring and reaching for the highest of beings
We've lost our search for the world's basic needs

The Aliens - inside our machines! The Aliens - inside our dreams!
The Aliens . . . The Aliens, The Aliens are here!

Through fiction and lies we gaze at the skies
For flying saucers and men with three eyes
Creating those monsters we seek to destroy
Like children at play smashing their toys!

The Aliens - controlling our spheres! The Aliens - so far yet so near!
The Aliens . . . The Aliens, The Aliens are here!

All myths of men and gods will apply
when sanity and reason begin to die
the dragons you've denied and wish to slay
may rise to conquer us all someday!
The aliens - the message is clear!
The aliens - the aliens are here.

07. MCMLXXXIV

[Instrumental]

08. Child Of The Damned

You made me see right past myself
well beyond my fears
Realized I'm synchronized
far beyond my years
I'm so geared into them
I serve unto their souls
Now that I'm addicted
my hunger only grows

I'm a Child of the Damned
I follow where I go
Rigging to the cross
as holy as a whore!
I'm just a child of the damned

Witches' coven the time is come
for those sabbatical years
Revelation is the message
for all in all to hear
Prophets slayed mankind arrayed
into a mass submission
Evil's here and the lord of hell
gives you the proposition!

I'm a Child of the Damned
I follow where I go
rigging to the cross
as holy as a whore!
I'm just a child of the damned

Give away your life's goals
your meaning and ambition
It means nothing to you
after all it's superstition!
Do not be afraid
the world is near the end
is it better to rule in hell,
than it is to serve in heaven?

I'm a Child of the Damned
I follow where I go
rigging to the cross
as holy as a whore!
I'm just a child of the damned.

09. Deliver Us From Evil

Deliver us from all the wicked
Deliver us from the woe
Free, these chains of hell
and now's the time to strike the final blow

One by one, to the swords, to the guns!
Two by two, and away we go
Father and Son, heed the words we pray
Deliver us from Evil this day
Deliver us from Evil today

Deliver us from ill minded rulers
Deliver us from all their talk
See all the evil and the greed
These people that seek what they've lost

One by one, to the swords, to the guns!
Two by two, and away we go
Father and Son, heed the words we pray
Deliver us from Evil this day
Deliver us from Evil today

Prepare for the final awakening
Prepare for the time it has come
Look to the heavens! A crack in the sky
The ending of time has begun
. . . and now all that you have is gone . . .

Deliver us from all the hatred
Deliver us from all the sin
and we who believe will eternally sing
these words in which we call the battle hymn!

One by one, to the swords, to the guns!
Two by two, and away we go
Father and Son, heed the words we pray
Deliver us from Evil this day
Deliver us from Evil today
Deliver us from Evil . . . we pray!

10. End
