01. Undisputed

He's king of the world
On top of his game
He only holds back
To take perfect aim

He turns days to nights
With all that he has
A signature blow
Turns jaws into glass

Opponents line up as they meet him
And watch as they fall one by one
The title is held by the leader
He gets there by shock and by stun

Ready to fight and to make it all right
He's the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world
Taking the prize to dismiss and demise
He's the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world
The undisputed heavyweight champion of the world

So easy to judge
The temper that boils
He'll take the mistakes
To the victor the spoils

Pugnacious and firm
Combative by rule
The charm's in his fist
So pity the fool

Don't step in the ring, or its owner
Enables that justice prevails
It's hard to give in and then own up
No limits when you're hard as nails

Bring it all on and do what must be done
He's the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world
Give up your hopes you'll be left on the ropes
He's the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world
The undisputed heavyweight champion of the world

A battle of wits
That's made in the mind
With physical force
He's cruel to be kind

The struggle's within
The outcome is plain
The effort pays back
And nothings in vain

Opponents line up as they meet him
And watch as they fall one by one
The title is held by the leader
He gets there by shock and by stun

Time to make peace or to beg for release
He's the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world
Look in the face of the deadly embrace
He's the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world
The undisputed heavyweight champion of the world

02. Fire And Ice

Radiator radio the energy and afterglow
That keeps me comin' back to what you give
You say the things I want to hear and every night you make it clear
The messages you send out make me live

Fire and ice, I know you're waiting for me
Staying alive with all the love, love in your heart
Don't ever think twice as far as the eye can see you
You're never alone when you're with me
We'll always be like fire and ice

Every day and every night
The sounds you make me feel alright
That keeps me going strong
With what you say

You've been with me through thick and thin
You held me up when I gave in
A friend for life
That's with me every way

Fire and ice, I know you're waiting for me
Staying alive with all the love, love in your heart
Don't ever think twice as far as the eye can see you
You're never alone when you're with me
We'll always be like fire and ice

03. Made Of Metal

Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal racing alien beings
Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal rides a laser beam

He descends from the sky
And he's ready to die for the thrill
When the predator falls
Your fate will be called by his will

Reeling you into a climax crescendo of sound

Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal racing alien beings
Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal rides a laser beam

You have no time
He can turn on a dime with his stare
Spins you around and he's taking you down
He don't care

Stay out of his way or you know you're gonna pay eating wall

Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal racing alien beings
Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal rides a laser beam

Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal racing alien beings
Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal rides a laser beam

Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal racing alien beings
Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal rides a laser beam

Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal it's a NASCAR dream
Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal it's a nitro scene

Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal it's a NASCAR dream
Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal it's a hot rod scream

Super sonic silver flying machine

04. Speed Of Sound

I'm always there but never seen
I live inside you like a scream
Let it be known as I attest
I never sleep I never rest

Just like a fighter with his stealth
We don't need fame we don't need wealth
To find the heroes in our selves

I can hear you I can see you
I can feel you
Speed of sound

I can hear you I can see you
I can feel you
Speed of sound

The world is ours so understand
No matter what we take the land
Indentified by how we look
To recognize the ground we took

This bond can't break through thick and thin
The blood runs red under each skin
We know our kind when we begin

I can hear you I can see you
I can feel you
Speed of sound

I can hear you I can see you
I can feel you
Speed of sound

I dedicate myself I must
And forge against who are unjust
A brotherhood born out of trust

I can hear you I can see you
I can feel you
Speed of sound

I can hear you I can see you
I can feel you
Speed of sound

05. Like There's No Tomorrow

One chance one dream for you
No limits to deny
Move on and grab the prize
Like diamonds in the sky

Stay strong and you'll believe
Stay strong and then you'll see

Beg steal or borrow
Like there's no tomorrow
Your fortune is fleeting
But love has no bounds

Dare to be open
Your wild heart has spoken
Each one of us has
What we know must be found
Must be found

This is the moment
That is rightfull in your soul
Do what it takes to make
That victory your goal

Stand strong and you'll believe
Stay strong and then you'll see

Beg steal or borrow
Like there's no tomorrow
Your fortune is fleeting
But love has no bounds

Dare to be open
Your wild heart has spoken
Each one of us has
What we know must be found
Must be found

Stand at the top of the mountain
With all of the world at your feet
You're seeking the eternal fountain
Drink up yes drink all that you need

Stay strong and you'll believe
Stay strong and then you'll see

Beg steal or borrow
Like there's no tomorrow
Your fortune is fleeting
But love has no bounds

Dare to be open
Your wild heart has spoken
Each one of us has
What we know must be found
Must be found

06. Till The Day I Die

I ain't got no time for forgiven
I ain't got no time be afraid
I ain't got no time to be slowing me down
With one foot in the grave

I ain't got no time for my loving
I ain't got no time to be said
I got no time for the foolish man
When the world treats him so bad

Oh no here I go
Other sides calling me getting me low
Oh I always know I'm living till the day I die
Oh here I go
The other sides calling me getting me low
Oh I always know I'm living till the day I die

They say there's light in the tunnel
They say there's a name in the book
But I don't care for the rumor mill
That hangs you on a hook

Soon I'll be meeting my maker
Then I'll deceased and desist
I'll leave my name in the air somewhere
Where I can get some peace
Where I can get some peace

Oh here I go
The other sides calling me getting me low
Oh I always know I'm living till the day I die

Oh no here I go
The other sides calling me getting me low
Oh no I always know
I'm living till the day I die
Living till the day I die

I don't know if I'm ever coming back
The light in the tunnel might turn to black
Take my chances I won't ask why
I'm living till the day I die
Living till the day I die
Living till the day I die

I ain't got time for forgiving
I ain't got time be afraid
I ain't got time for living my life
With one foot in the grave

I ain't got time for forgiving
I ain't got time be afraid
I ain't got time for living my life
With one foot in the grave
One foot in the grave

07. We Own The Night

We're not alone we have a chance you see
Let's live the dreams we have in life
There's nothing left if you can't walk with me
You know we need to put it right

We own the night
And what ever comes our way
Nothing will hold us back
When we love and we obey

When I'm with you, you give me all your strength
And with your love I carry on
Well we both know it takes the two of us
To face the truth don't need to run

We own the night
And what ever comes our way
Nothing will hold us back
When we love and we obey

Let's take tonight
And forget about the day
Stand at the edge of life
Let the starts come out to play

You wait and see
Our light will grow and grow
Open eyes will realize
The ray of life to hold

Our world of calm
It sings right from the heart
Can you hear
The storm of fear
Can't tear this love apart

If we don't leap for faith
How can we be free
We can't deny or say goodbye
We found our destiny

Don't leave me alone
I can't stand the thought of being here without you
My heart turns to stone
Look in my eyes my words are true

We own the night
And what ever comes our way
Nothing will hold us back
When we love and we obey

I'm not alone
But ships pass in the night
Hold me now hold me now
Before my heart takes flight

08. Heartless

I'm walkin' the streets now baby
Go it alone
Got no where to crash
Ain't got no home

Don't know where I'll be tomorrow
My heads in a daze
Should I make amends and mend my ways

Heartless, heartless
I'm in a world of darkness
Heartless, heartless
You make me feel
So heartless

Talk to myself and wonder
What did I do wrong
Am I in the place where I belong

Part of the problem baby
Something I lack
I pray there's a chance
You'll take me back

Heartless, heartless
I'm in a world of darkness
Heartless, heartless
You make me feel
So heartless

09. Hell Razor

Outcast of the morning
He'll always go it alone
They never can cage him
He's got a life of his own

Wild as a lone wolf
Nothing escapes from his eyes
Stars cover his tracks now
With such a brilliant disguise

Hell razor he's gonna raise hell tonight
Hell razor he's goin' out for a fight

No sense of tomorrow
He only lives for the day
Their burden of sorrow
Who gives a damn what they say

Call of the wild wind
A man only wants to be free
He answers to no one
That's what we all wanna be

Hell razor he's gonna raise hell tonight
Hell razor he's goin' out for a fight
Hell razor he's gonna raise hell tonight

He fell out of heaven
Mercifully clipped of his wings
Some say that he's legion
That's when the bad luck begins

Mad ball of confusion
Watch as he makes worlds collide
He answers to no one
See how the matter subside

Hell razor he's gonna raise hell tonight
Hell razor he's goin' out for a fight
Hell razor he's gonna raise hell tonight
Hell razor

10. Thunder and Lightning

Well it don't matter bout the things they say
We got nothing to left to prove
And we wouldn't have it any other way
So let them make their move

When you got something that's as strong as this
Don't matter of you fall
You get back up and face another day
Ready to make that call

Nothing in life is easy
Nothing in life is free

I'm the thunder to your lightning
Can you feel it?
What we got is so exciting
It's a love they can't deny

Now me and you we got a simple heart
We don't need that much to make it run
Our souls are living proof right from the start
You got to get your knees dirty one by one

So when you look at me I wanna cry
This is good as all I ever need
Cause I'll be with ya till the day I die
Something that we both believe

Nothing in life is easy
Nothing in life is free

I'm the thunder to your lightning
Can you feel it?
What we got is so exciting
It's a love they can't deny

They can't take it
They can leave it
We don't care cause
This will always be our secret
For the rest of our lives

Nothing can bring us down
We'll always be around
Nothing can stop us now

I ain't a dreamer
I know what's real
And you are just the same as me
So if the cards of life can't break the deal
Then what is there left to see

Roll out the freedom bell and cross your heart
Cause me and you we love to sing
And they don't like it they can go to hell
So come on baby make it ring

Nothing in life is easy
Nothing in life is free

I'm the thunder to your lightning
Can you feel it?
What we got is so exciting
It's a love they can't deny

They can't take it
They can leave it
We don't care cause
This will always be our secret
For the rest of our lives

11. Twenty-Five Years

I can't remember
When the moment started
It creeps up
When you least expect to fail
You try to tell yourself
That you are selfless
But that's the big mistake
That sets your sail

The signs are all around you
But you miss them
You turn your back
On every friend you know
The games you play
To justify your madness
Will leave you crying
For the pain that grows

Twenty-five years
Twenty-five years
I tried to be a man
And face my fears

Twenty-five years
Twenty-five years
I've had the devil on my back
For twenty five years

For when you fall
You have to reach the bottom
And count your blessings
That you're still alive

That's when you look
To someone who was with you
At every single step
Right by your side

It's said from this you grow
Inside much stronger
That may be true
But I am still so weak

There's days that seem
So endless makes me wonder
Will something come
To close this loosing streak

Twenty-five years
Twenty-five years
I tried to be a man
And face my fears

Twenty-five years
Twenty-five years
I've had the devil on my back
For twenty five years

I'm tired and so lonely
From this journey
And still can't figure out
Some things I've said

But all I know
Is there's a place that's calling
I'll find that place
And rest my weary head

Twenty-five years
Twenty-five years
I tried to be a man
And face my fears

Twenty-five years
Twenty-five years
I've had the devil on my back
For twenty five years

12. Matador

The gold ran dry in '54 so with a broken hand
He packed his bags and headed south across the Rio Grande
The town was mean and brutal for a gringo filled with strife
He was about to end it all when some thing changed his life

A bullfight in the street went bad the beast made to escape
And in a feat of danger with his jacket as a cape
He stared into the eyes of death and bought it to his knees
A cry went up from in the crowd at last he felt appeased

Then all the people were screaming
Having the time of their lives
Some said they thought they were dreaming
But he was right there before their eyes

He had the crowd they cheering right in the palms of his hands
With one or two of them leering
At what they never could comprehend

Matador heart of the brave
Suit of life never to save
Matador in for the kill
Statuesque he's standing still

El Toro charged he danced with death
And every place he's go
The reputation lead the way through all of Mexico
The Greatest of the Greats they said
One never to be missed
But all good things come to an end
And so it was with his

A moments hesitation and he felt the gore go deep
His life flashed in slow motion as the crowd begin to weep
The country was in mourning as they buried him that day
But memories live for ever like the ghost of him they say

The people said he's The Greatest
Look at his flair and his style
No one can stand in his foot steps
Or follow him by a mile

The crowd was in such a frenzy
He had the air of a saint
Control was part of the fever
Together with such restraint

Matador graced by The Lord
Cheating death plunging the sword
Matador here to annul
With respect praise for the bull

There was a sense of dramatic
That in the blink of an eye
It could turn into traumatic
Would he be alive or die

He was the man of the hour
And master of his domain
He was bestowed and empowered
He had the key to each city he reigned

Matador heart of the brave
Suit of life never to save
Matador in for the kill
Statuesque he's standing still

13. I Know We Stand A Chance

Tranquilized here by your touch
You know I'll never get enough
Everything you do to me
Always sets me free

In me in you
I know we stand a chance
This time could be
Could be our last romance

I find myself in you
And I can't let you go
In me in you

When you're far away from me
All I have's uncertainty
Bring me back with what you give
You know you make me live

In me in you
I know we stand a chance
This time could be
Could be our last romance

I find myself in you
And I can't let you go

When you get inside my head
I forget the things you said
All that's is just a dream
All I do is scream

In me in you
I knew we'd stand a chance
This time could be
Could be our last romance

I find myself in you
And I can't let you go
In me in you

14. The Mower

Hell brawl, a landscape of the bones
Still filled with no remorse
Such pickings for the crow
Who dances on a throne?
The mover

Let perish be the world
The culling of the heard
And end is what we seek

Suspended disbelief
Abominations grief
The sea of evolution
Our world of destitution

No light, no air, no light, no air, no exit

Excruciating pain
Demoralized again
The wrecking has begun
The sickening undone

No light, no air, no light, no air, no exit

For withess had its way
Death sentence comes today
So struggle at the brink
It's time to be extinct
Upon a broken back
Hear every bone go crack

A gutless withered flesh
Led forward on its leash
Flat line in the abyss
Where nightmares reminisce

No air, no light, no exit
No air, no light, no exit

The confrontations rest
No air no light no exit
Flat line in the abyss
No air, no light, no exit
