Running Wild - Shadowmaker lyrics



Tracks



01. Piece Of The Action

The lights went out and the gear starts humming
The air's on fire, ready to explode

Adrenaline is rising high
Sorrows have been kissed goodbye
When it's coming

The bombs go "bang" and the heads start shaking
The pumping bass gonna shake the roof

Adrenaline is rising high
Sorrows have been kissed goodbye
When it's coming
Electrified, just wild and free
Going round and round, the ecstasy

I want a piece, a piece of the action
I take a ride on dynamite
I want a piece, a piece of the action
Gimme some slice 'n' I'll take a bite (of the action)

The room gets wild and the pyros are banging
Like a hot shot bullet going across the room

Adrenaline is rising high
Sorrows have been kissed goodbye
When it's coming
Electrified, just wild and free
Going round and round, the ecstasy

I want a piece, a piece of the action
I take a ride on dynamite
I want a piece, a piece of the action
Gimme some slice 'n' I'll take a bite (of the action)

They dance and shout 'n' the band is pumping
Everybody is up till the last encore

Electrified, just wild and free
Going round and round, the ecstasy

I want a piece, a piece of the action
I take a ride on dynamite
I want a piece, a piece of the action
Gimme some slice 'n' I'll take a bite (of the action)

02. Riding On The Tide

Waves are pounding on the hull
On the wind the bones and skull
To lay our hands on easy prey
To take the fortune of the tray

Rum and powder in the air
Rapacious we face every dare
Our cannons are so justified
To gun down every ship in pride

We are one with the wind, one with its glory
We are one with the waves, one with the sea

The Jolly Roger's flying high
The rigging's reaching for the sky
Riding on the tide
We take the freedom as our pride
We take the battle side by side
Riding on the tide

"Cat and mouse", it's time to play
We hunt them till their final day
Justice is our treatments name
Balls of lead the tool to tame

We are one with the wind, one with its glory
We are one with the waves, one with the sea

The Jolly Roger's flying high
The rigging's reaching for the sky
Riding on the tide
We take the freedom as our pride
We take the battle side by side
Riding on the tide

03. I Am Who I Am

I am one to feel the fire, I am no one giving in
Always try to reach higher to keep my own world spin
Always fight reckless liars, I just wanna know for real
See the man behind the curtain, I always break the seal

All the world, going crazy, majority goes insane
Trying hard just to bait me, I keep right off the game

I am on fire, for the world to see
The taste of freedom's got a hold on me

I am who I am and I always take a stand
And I keep the flag just high above my head
I am who I am and I always will defend
Cause I am who I am who I am

Wheel of time speeding up now, fashion is the crucial point
Integrity's fading somehow, I keep out of that joint

I am on fire, for the world to see
The taste of freedom's got a hold on me

I am who I am and I always take a stand
And I keep the flag just high above my head
I am who I am and I always will defend
Cause I am who I am who I am

I am one to feel the fire, I am no one giving in
Always try to reach higher to keep my own world spin

I am on fire, for the world to see
The taste of freedom's got a hold on me

I am who I am and I always take a stand
And I keep the flag just high above my head
I am who I am and I always will defend
Cause I am who I am who I am

04. Black Shadow

Poison to your eyes to reduce brain size
To discern no black lies they feed up on you
They try to disable your soul of being stable
Like the wolf in the fable to devour your heart

On and on the blackish world to come
Codes and signs until resistance is done

Just keep on fighting while the devious is hiding
Right in the darkness to spy up on you
Awaiting the right time to break of the nightline
Silencing your mind to creep on your soul
"The black shadow"

All getting virtual, new worlders' black fuel
Omnipresent school to form out new man
Chemical food inc., genetic waste bin
Pulling the worlds' strings to burn out its soul

On and on the blackish world to come
Codes and signs until resistance is done

Just keep on fighting while the devious is hiding
Right in the darkness to spy up on you
Awaiting the right time to break of the nightline
Silencing your mind to creep on your soul
"The black shadow"

Excess all over, all whipped by the drover
Slavery's closer than ever before
Oil to the fire, a gigantic pyre
A feast to the liar cause they're all taken in

On and on the blackish world to come
Codes and signs until resistance is done

Just keep on fighting while the devious is hiding
Right in the darkness to spy up on you
Awaiting the right time to break of the nightline
Silencing your mind to creep on your soul
"The black shadow"

05. Locomotive

Hundred-fifty tons of steel, rolling through the night
Sparks are dancing in the smoke, the fire's raging wild
Hundredweights of blackest coal to feed its burning hunger
A melting pot of glowing steel, a hell of grime and smoke

Smoke and fire, run that pyre

Steam and thunder gonna roll you under
Rage and fury gonna spell its name, Locomotive

The railway's gonna squeaking hard, wheels are dragging over
Red hot grease is on the steel, oiling all the bars
Rhythm's gonna pounding hard, the monsters own thunder
The whistle-pipe is blowing strong, foretelling what to come

Smoke and fire, run that pyre

Steam and thunder gonna roll you under
Rage and fury gonna spell its name, Locomotive

The stoker's gonna shoveling coal to melt it in the fire
Sweat is dripping from his brow, vaporizing in the heat

Pressure's gonna rising high, speeding up the engine
Purgatory comes alive to burn on fires rage
So common now

Hundred-fifty tons of steel, rolling through the night
Sparks are dancing in the smoke, the fire's raging wild
Hundredweights of blackest coal to feed its burning hunger
A melting pot of glowing steel, a hell of grime and smoke

Smoke and fire, run that pyre

Steam and thunder gonna roll you under
Rage and fury gonna spell its name, Locomotive

06. Me & The Boys

Time is right get on the line, just go nuts now
Stand in pride, take on the night be wild and free
Kick the beat, bring on the heat, rock you somehow
Sing along with our favourite song for the world to see

Just another night we are running wild

Me & the boys we love that noise
Me & the boys we are going crazy
Me & the boys we make that noise
Cause Rock 'n' Roll is our choice

Rock so hard from the start, shake foundation
Hit the gas kick some ass until the dawn
Earth will quake, quiver and shake, the exaltation
Jump the beat, move the meat, create a storm

Just another night we are running wild

Me & the boys we love that noise
Me & the boys we are going crazy
Me & the boys we make that noise
Cause Rock 'n' Roll is our choice

We'll come over, we are just standing proud
We will sweat and praise Rock'n'Roll
Raise your fist, we are all getting loud
And that's what we all came here for

Time is right get on the line, just go nuts now
Stand in pride, take on the night be wild and free
Kick the beat, bring on the heat, rock you somehow
Sing along with our favourite song for the world to see

Just another night we are running wild

Me & the boys we love that noise
Me & the boys we are going crazy
Me & the boys we make that noise
Cause Rock 'n' Roll is our choice

07. Shadowmaker

A cross of light on the horizon
All evil is in prime of grease
The long awaited revelation's burning
A mission just to force redemption
By a fast reforming laser-beam
Melting evils' soul to kiss the void

Healing "pain" of being evil
By melting out atrocities
To ban their souls to send them back to hell

Shadowmaker, shadowmaker, beware of the soulbreaker
Shadowmaker, shadowmaker, he writes their name
Into the dust of their bones

The punishment long overdue
The debt collector heaven sent
To ban their souls to send them back to hell

Shadowmaker, shadowmaker, beware of the soulbreaker
Shadowmaker, shadowmaker, he writes their name
Into the dust of their bones

A consolation to the chosen
A nightmare to the evil one
To ban their souls to send them back to hell

Shadowmaker, shadowmaker, beware of the soulbreaker
Shadowmaker, shadowmaker, he writes their name
Into the dust of their bones

(Ally to the undertaker)
(Beware of the soultaker)

08. Sailing Fire

The waves are setting rhythm
The hull' dancing left and right
So we are heading for the night
Stars are full of fire
Twinkle like precious stones
Reflecting on our "Skull and Bones"

The beat of the holy sea is pounding in our hearts
A compass true and clear just right from the start

Sailing fire, the flame is burning in our hearts
Sailing fire, a guarding light just right off the dark

Icy air is drifting
Blowing just on our sails
Frozen hands claw at the rail
The hiding dark is resting
Just underneath the keel
The peace of freedom's what we feel

The beat of the holy sea is pounding in our hearts
A compass true and clear just right from the start

Sailing fire, the flame is burning in our hearts
Sailing fire, a guarding light just right off the dark

When our time has come to put our hearts to rest
The body's wrapped into the "Skull & Bones" our crest
To kiss the sea

The beat of the holy sea is pounding in our hearts
A compass true and clear just right from the start

Sailing fire, the flame is burning in our hearts
Sailing fire, a guarding light just right off the dark

09. Into The Black

Out in the street, caught in the beat
Spellbound right from below
The eye on the scene, right on the screen
Slavery's ready to go
Addiction on plan, ready to scan
Your heart, your soul and your mind
Zombie eyes, trapped in its lies
Ready damnation to find

A trap so tempting to your mind
The web of illusions to keep you blind

No time for waiting, just save yourself tonight
To brake that voyage, to avoid your ride into the black

The all-seeing eye, poisoning lie
Giving you shackles of gold
Freeing sin with a devilish grin
Like your forefathers told

A trap so tempting to your mind
The web of illusions to keep you blind

No time for waiting, just save yourself tonight
To brake that voyage, to avoid your ride into the black

They worship the beast, western to east
It bites and scratches your eye
A "Mantra" of lies, to stay in disguise
Until there is no more denial

A trap so tempting to your mind
The web of illusions to keep you blind

No time for waiting, just save yourself tonight
To brake that voyage, to avoid your ride into the black

10. Dracula

Midnight tolls the bell, the full moon's glowing bright
The counts awakening, the creature of the night

Oh the night, beware of the night
When there's danger in sight, beware of the night
He is out there!

The throat became so parched, longing for relief
Declining urgent needs, bringing on the grief

Oh the night, beware of the night
When there's danger in sight, beware of the night
He is out there!

He spreads his wings to fly on a high and silver stream
He is the final of your dream, Dracula!
He just arises from his dark and lonely grave
He lets his longing grow to turn into its slave

Oh the night, beware of the night
When there's danger in sight, beware of the night
He is out there!

He spreads his wings to fly on a high and silver stream
He is the final of your dream, Dracula!

The open window, he's gonna slide in
Innocent sleep and he's ready to bite
Sucking the blood, injecting the poison
Vitality fades to become undead

The morning breaks, sunlight is rising
The count returns to his lonely grave

The count he lays to rest now
His hunter knows what to do
To put a stake in position
He drives it through his heart now!

The counts unholiness just starts to fall apart
A tragic character with a damned but lonely heart

Oh the night, beware of the night
When there's danger in sight, beware of the night
He is out there!

He spreads his wings to fly on a high and silver stream
He is the final of your dream, Dracula!

He's going to hell
Caught in his spell
He's torn apart
His broken heart
