[Instrumental]

Mankind is at war our futures ill-fated
Our world is a hell in which we have created
The war machine moves in our nightmares realising
Shrapnel is flying the death toll is rising
Gunfire and bomb-blasts roar into the night
Forced into hiding for tomorrows first light
Bloodstains and tears met by world leaders fears
the cries of our children falling on deaf ears

The armies march out, they're certain to die
Like lambs to the slaughter, nobody knows why
This is our future

Trial by fire the apocalypse rules
Our trust is neglected by gun-happy fools
Trial by fire, the end is in sight
The leaders preach on, we continue to fight

Legions of soldiers and tanks block the roads
While bombers above are discharging their payloads
Napalm is screaming the fires rage up high
Ten thousand more men are still destined to die
Deaths grip will tighten as tension now heightens
World powers clashing like mythical titans
The irony is that we're fighting for peace
Attacked from the north, south, the west and the east

The countdowns begun, the warhead is armed
Public hysteria can no longer be calmed
launch the polaris

Nuclear holocaust - the only way forward,
Its kills and lays waste to all in its path
A poison silence is all that remains
As we begin to see now our insanity's wrath
Politicians debate over whos wrong and whos right
Inventing more reasons to continue this fight
The armies wont rest till we're all blown to dust
They're brainwashed by mankind's blood-lust

Trial by fire Armageddon is here
Our trust still abused by creators of fear
Trial by fire our future will tell
The leaders preach on as we all burn in hell

Don't say another word
Your power fading and your voice no longer heard
On borrowed time, where will you run to?
Words from a heart of rage, this song i sing for you

Contempt too good for you, your demise your own creation
Stabbing me in the back without a moment's hesitation

Liar
The truth is plain to see

Look in the mirror at what you've become
Too late to forgive you now the damage has been done
Burn down your bridges, but tell me why
Look into my eyes and tell me one more lie

Crushing innocence to satisfy your fraudulence
Your every word akin with putrid flatulence
Deceiving those who care and stealing from the blind
You're running out of time old man you're being left behind

Liar
The truth is plain to see
You're a liar and that's all you mean to me

Liar
The truth is plain to see
Liar
And that's all you mean to me
You're a liar
And that's all you'll ever be
You're a liar

Waiting for the moment to come
and back at everything I have done
This is just one more race to be won
To stand forever warm in the sun

Your memory, will leave my destiny
And I will stand strong

We are united standing strong
And you my friend just dont belong
I will remember you with love
Whether or not it's right or wrong

Your memory, will leave my destiny
And I will stand strong

One last goodbye, will seal this ache inside
Finally I shall be free

The pain may fade but the memories made
I will take them to my grave
The trust I gave was all betrayed
And just another foolish game
Do you see what you ment to me
My love forsaken and misplaced
I wont catch your fall from grace

You cant deny the sacrifice
I made to built your paradise
and yet you turn your back on all that we did create

Once welcomed into your domain
Now memories destroyed by flame
from shadows I arise and a new world awaits

Come sands of time
Fate spins our line
Chose the path thats yet to take
And watch your destiny unwind

As you deny
The truth will stand forever by my side
Cleanse the unworthy in purging fire

That which you perceive
is only truth in that which you believe
This devestation wreaked by your desire

Come sands of time
Fate spins our line
Chose the path thats yet to take
watch your destiny unwind

And in this the final hour
Deny the grasp of your weakened power
Break the chains of destiny
but bound forever in eternity
soaring forevermore on wings of steel

Lying alone at night, tired and broken
Resounding through my head - echoes of the words last spoken
Tears of the wake haunt the darkest corners of my soul
As your shadow stepped into the storm, with one last look behind

Sometimes i hear your voice on the harsh sea wind
Punished for a crime though i have not sinned
What is this feeling of guilt - so desolate and bold
As your whispers bring chills turning my skin so cold

Turning our ships into the wind trying to get back to you
(Broken) Your love has left me broken
(Now you're gone) your love has left me broken

And I still hear your voice on the harsh sea wind
Still punished for a crime though i have not sinned
What is this feeling of guilt - so desolate and bold
As your whispers bring chills turning my skin so cold

We fought the mighty oceans wrath but still we sank in vain

(Broken) your love has left me broken
(Now you're gone) your love has left me broken

No matter how hard you try to place the blame on me
Everyone knows the truth that you refuse to see
You were the instrument that tore my dreams appart
Love becomes seething hate that burns within my heart

Spiralling deeper down, falling faster, driving me insane
All the time I've wasted now seems to be in vain

Point the finger right at me just to hide your shame
You know you cant refute the truth but still you try the same
Don't think that I will be there to catch you when you fall
The love I had has just dried up I don't care at all

And now I'm on the other side, now I've seen the light
I'm better off now I know for sure, I know my choice was right

Out of the darkness
And into the light

Welcome to the dawn of the age of steel
Cold metal glows in the rising sun
We stand in line on blood-stained plains
Waiting for orders to charge once again

See our foes they fall
Hear the battle cry
Swing the sword of death
Guide us too triumph once again

The sun is high, our time has come
The time has come to strike
As fire rains down from the archers bow
Death, will strike down our foes

See our foes they fall
hear the battle cry
Swing the sword of death
Guide us too triumph once again

See our foes they fall
hear the battle cry
Swing the sword of death
Guide us too triumph once again

See the heroes fall
For what they once believed
A cause we're dying for
Valhalla here we come

So far beyond the reaches of my mind
Cant help but think I've wasted all this time
Drowning in the soul I left behind
Look into the light it leaves you blind

I'm loosing track, theres no way back
I only lied to save my pride

Hear my cry
I'll defy
I will rise
To the end

Loosing face you don't dare to say
The grand illusion now your only way
Now smoke and shadows clear from our hopeful eyes
Our victory will serve as your demise

Hear my cry
I'll defy
I will rise
as you descend
Hear my call
As you fall
We'll stand tall
To the end

[Instrumental]

Hear the thunder tearing down the street adrenaline in my veins
A hundered and twenty, im moving fast and i dont care where im heading too
V8 power underneath my feet, the freeway becomes my domain
Better move aside because im coming through and i aint gonna stop for you

Yeah, Im on the road again
Moving (moving) up a gear
and it feels so good (yeah)

she's my four fourty
she's my four fourty

My foot is to the floor and the nitro's on full with no sign of stopping soon
A hundred and thirty - still going on strong and it feels so good to be free
With 8 litres of earth shaking power theres no-one left who can stop me
Cos there aint no substitute for cubic inches, 8 cylinders roar in tune

Yeah, I'm pushing harder
Pedal (pedal) to the metal
And i aint gonna stop (no)

King of the road in my four fourty
High octane reigns, this world is my own
King of the road in my crown of chrome
Stay outta way cos the road is my throne

she's my four fourty
she's my four fourty

Move out of my way!
