hang ‘em all to the swinging knot they go · time is up no tolerance will be shown · the clock has stopped · drop til you’re dead on the knotted line · into darkness for the rest of time · to the gallows · to the gallows they go · to the gallows join the crowd to see the show · to the gallows · to the gallows they go · string em up by their necks and hang em all til they're dead · if you're lucky the line will snap · or break your twisting neck · otherwise you'll swing out your last breath · eyes bulging going blind · sweet looking justice in the onlookers minds · rotting in the air your eyes a feast for crows · a warning served to all fearing not to follow · the gibbet calls your name and beckons to your fate · corpse floating in the breeze finding no escape · the king's word is law his justice is swift · a public execution for turning simple tricks · hung drawn or quartered the options are bleak · public disembowelment · power preys upon the weak
2.
desert for days no water no rest · heat comes in waves · push on for the quest · a drop a trickle a full tank of petrol · blood of the earth guzzoline · memories bite hard · too much to turn and face · better to drive on through the barren waste · see the shadows and run · chase the setting sun · hordes from hell straight on my tail · a barter a trade might buy you another day · warriors of the road · heavy metal overload · pistons burn red hot · warriors of the road · heavy metal overload · pistons burn red hot · this race is never gonna stop · another car broken · another life taken · not a word spoken · no emotion · fuel tank is dry · clutch is worn out · temp gauge runs high · no water in sight · drifting on fumes · avoiding the packs · driving hell for leather · running from the attack · warriors of the road · heavy metal overload · pistons burn red hot · foot to the floor

skull splitting · can crushing · ring pulling · beer chugging · liquid swilling · vomit's coming · razor headache · stabbing namesake · red steel nation · armour piercing · razor sharp · cold steel · instant death · lethal injection straight to the liver · don't back down · drink and deliver · fire in the blood · fuel for your brain · foot to the floor cause it drives you insane · dehydration · intoxication · rehydration · acceleration · readmission · malnutrition · post-mortem · fit one more in · red · steel · red steel nation · intoxication red steel nation · obliterate · drink til death · it’s too late

As I Die 04:45
as I watch the sun fade in the sky · as I watch the sun fade out and die · i’m alone to my thoughts and I feel them once more · i’m alone to my thoughts and I don't want them anymore · I fade away through endless time · I fade away as I die
5.
red rivers flow with blood · dark nights that see no dawn · twisted bodies bend and warp · blinded eyes taking new forms · drinking the wine of a desecrated earth · drunk on the scent of a devil rebirth · stalking the night hunting for prey · raised from the grave the dead walk today · serpent’s return · devil reborn · bringer of death the killing machine · master of torture ender of life · speaker of evil giver of pain · ripping at your soul to tear out your mind · dark clouds are forming hate fills the air · ancient chaos from a demonic prayer · too late to stop the end of all life · the horsemen have risen to take back the night · serpent’s return · raise hell on earth

Hellhound 04:32
born of the night in the full moonlight · hiding in the shadows lurking out of sight · eyes glow red and fangs gleam white · insatiable hunger drives my mind · launch from the shadows in the pale moonlight · instinct to hunt · driven by hunger · no self control from the spell I'm under · witchery · devilry · born of the black there's no turning back · hellhound · screaming at the sky · hell hound · a creature born not right · folklore as old as time tells dark stories lesser known · fearing what you cannot see · unstoppable forces grow · a bounty so high make a poor hunter rich · for a prize so great to make a trigger finger itch · not a priest or a pauper could handle the slaughter · scare a drunkard sober to see me life's over · hunt them in the night · in the full moonlight · kill me it isn't hard if you get the chance · my jaws tear through steel · rip your limbs off · break your bones · the hunter now the hunted · never alone
7.
thrash is a verb · it's an action it's a doing word · and a rule to be observed · headbanging is the law that cannot be ignored · get up on the pit · then we'll know you're loving it · losing the plot · out after midnight · blood running hot · melt under stage lights · uncross your arms · stretch out your neck · limber up your shoulders · are you ready · forget all that you think you know · no-one sits down at a desecrator show · life on the road · its what we do · it's all we know · and we're never more at home · caving in the stage · we know no other way · melting faces · bleeding ears · driving hard · shifting the gears · assault on the senses · bleed your ears dry · hungry for more til the day you die
8.
Down To Hell 05:41
fire burning bright · illuminates the eternal night · fuelled by the souls of the dead · keeping them from eternal rest · down and down and down i go · seven levels of hell unknown · torment and torture is all I see · decades of punishment in front of me · down to hell · follow me i go down to hell · demons ripping out my heart · satan looming over my soul · tearing my body apart · cry out · repeated torture for ever more · desperation drags me deeper · as all life fades and I start to despair · recompense is impossible · for on this day the judgement is fair · kneeling to silently pray · meaningless words as if they will save me from this predetermined fate · sent to me now to end my days
9.
Brainscan 10:23
locked in a padded cell · a locked white sterile hell · arms tied legs crossed · sanity but at what cost · bars to protect me · bars to keep me in · no windows no reflection · no one can hear me scream · brainscan · something ain't right and it's messing with my mind · brainscan · something ain't right and it's crawling up the walls of my mind · as i strip away at time · cry out · in the night bloody murder · call out · but it's all in my mind · on my own but never alone day and night am I alright? · ceasing to exist · a creature with no name · nothing but a number · subdued · sedated · forbidden · forgotten · forever · the injections keep me calm while the orderlies hold me down · the doctors say it's science but the torture never ends · they say I'm getting better as they hack at me with saws · they say that I'll get out of here while they drill into my thoughts · save me from myself

about
