Wheels of Fire

Since the dawn of time
I've rolled across the earth
Spinning in the dust
Long before your birth
Eatin' tar and gasoline
Every light I see is green
Open pipes, my machines's triple-plated chrome

   Spirit of the wheel

      Wheels of fire burn the night
      Ride across the sky
      Wheels of fire burning bright
      We live to ride

Motors running
Now you're gonna learn
Waitin on the line
Make your tires burn
Fast, faster, faster, faster
Speeding always kills
Nothing else takes us to get these thrills

   Spirit of the wheel

      Wheels of fire burn the night
      Ride across the sky
      Wheels of fire burning bright
      We live to ride

Blood and thunder on the road
My heart is pounding
My blood is nitroglycerine
I'm fire
Burning, burning, burning, burning
Ready to explode
Don't want nothing left of me to scrape off the road

   Spirit of the wheel

      Wheels of fire burn the night
      Ride across the sky
      Wheels of fire burning bright
      We live to ride
 

Clouds of smoke
Tires screaming
Fire in my hair
Blown into a thousand pieces
Scattered everywhere
Fast, burn, burning, faster
Wanna take a ride
Spirit of the wheel
Wheels of fire ride

   Spirit of the wheel

      Wheels of fire burn the night
      Ride across the sky
      Wheels of fire burning bright
      We live to ride

Heart of Steel

Build a fire a thousands miles away to light my long
Way home
I ride a commet
My trail is long to stay
Silence is a heavy stone
I fight the world and take all they can give
There are times my heart hangs low
Born to walk against the wind
Born to hear my name
No matter where I stand I'm alone

   Stand and fight
   Live by your heart
   Always one more try
   I'm not afraid to die
   Stand and fight
   Say what you feel
   Born with a heart of steel

Burn the bridge behind you
Leave no retreat
There's only
One way home
Those who laugh and crowd the path and cut each other's throats
Will fall like melting snow
They'll watch us rise with fire in our eyes
They'll bow their heads
Their hearts will hang low
Then we'll laugh and they will kneel and know this heart of steel was
Too hard to break
Too hard to bold

   Stand and fight
   Live by your heart
   Always one more try
   I'm not afraid to die
   Stand and fight
   Say what you feel
   Born with a heart of steel
   Born with a heart of steel
 

   Stand and fight
   Say what you feel
   Born with a heart of steel
   Stand and fight
   Live by your heart
   Always one more try
   I'm not afraid to die
   Stand and fight
   Say what you feel
   Born with a heart of steel

The Crown and the Ring (Lament of the Kings)

From a battle I've come
To a battle I ride
Blazing up to the sky
Chains of fate
Hold a fiery stride
I'll see you again when I die

   High and mighty alone we are kings
   Whirlwinds of fire we ride
   Providence brought us the crown and the ring
   Covered with blood and our pride

Heroes await me
My enemies ride fast
Knowing not this ride's their last
Saddle my horse as I drink my last ale
Bow string and steel will prevail

   High and mighty alone we are kings
   Whirlwinds of fire we ride
   Providence brought us the crown and the ring
   Covered with blood and our pride

Odin I await thee
Your true son am I
I hail you now as I die
I pledge you my sword and to no man I kneel
Ours is the kingdom of steel

   High and mighty alone we are kings
   Whirlwinds of fire we ride
   Providence brought us the crown and the ring
   Covered with blood and our pride
   High and mighty alone we are kings
   Whirlwinds of fire we ride
   Providence brought us the crown and the ring
   Covered with blood and our pride
 
 
 

Kingdom Come

See the white light
The light within
Be your own disciple
Fan the sparks of will
For all of us waiting
Our kingdom has come

Now
Rays of power shining
Rays of magic fall
On the golden voice that speaks within us all
For all of us waiting
Your kingdom will come

   Kingdom come

Feel the white light
The light within
Yea it burns a fire that drives a man to win
For all of us waiting
Your kingdom will come

   Kingdom come

Words of power
Calling to us all
Holding us together while other kingdoms fall
No longer waiting ha!
Our kingdom has come

   Kingdom come
 

Kingdom coming
Another kingdom falls
The rightfull are waiting
But all are not rightfull
Wait and receive the weight of the fall

   Kingdom come
   Kingdom come
   Kingdom come
   Kingdom come
   Kingdom come
 
 
 

Pleasure Slave (CD BONUSTRACK)

She waiting to kiss my hand
But she will wait for my command
My chains and collar brought her to her knees
She now is free to please

   Woman, be my slave
   That's your reason to live
   Woman, be my slave
   The greatest gift I can give
   Woman, be my slave

Before her surrender she had no life
Now she's a slave, not a wife
Her only sorrow is for women who live with lies
She's taken off her disguise

   Woman, be my slave
   Chained unto my bed
   Woman, be my slave
   Begging to be fed
   Woman, be my slave
   Your body belongs to me

Woman come here
Remove your garments
Kneel before me
Please me
 

   Woman, be my slave
   Chained unto my bed
   Woman, be my slave now
   Begging to be fed
   Woman, be my slave now
   Come here
   Woman, woman
   Woman, be my slave
   I want you now
   Woman, be my slave
 
 
 

Hail and Kill

Brothers I am calling
From the valley of the kings
With nothing to atone
A dark march lies ahead
Together we will ride
Like thunder from the sky
May your sword stay wet
Like a young girl in her prime
Hold your hammers high

Blood and death are waiting
Like a raven in the sky
I was born to die
Hear me while I live
As I look into your eyes
None shall hear a lie
The power and dominion
Are taken by the will
By divine right hail and kill

   Hail Hail Hail and Kill
   Hail and Kill
   Hail Hail Hail and Kill
   Hail and Kill

My father was a wolf
I'm a kinsman of the slain
Sworn to rise again
I will bring salvation
Punishment and pain
The hammer of hate is our faith
Power and dominion
Are taken by the will
By divine right hail and kill

   Hail Hail Hail and Kill
   Hail and Kill
   Hail Hail Hail and Kill
   Hail and Kill
 

   Hail Hail Hail and Kill
   Hail Hail Hail and Kill
   Hail Hail Hail and Kill
   Hail Hail Hail and Kill
   Hail Hail Hail and Kill
   Hail Hail Hail and Kill
   Hail Hail Hail and Kill
   Hail Hail Hail and Kill
   Hail Hail Hail and Kill

Rip their flesh
Burn their hearts
Stab them in the eyes
Rape their women as they cry
Kill their servants
Burn their homes
Till there's no blood left to spill
Hail and Kill
Power and dominion are taken by the will
By divine right hail and kill

   Hail Hail Hail and Kill
   Hail and Kill
   Hail Hail Hail and Kill
   Hail and Kill
   Hail Hail Hail and Kill
   Hail and Kill Hail and kill
   Hail Hail Hail and Kill
   Hail and Kill Hail and kill
   Hail Hail Hail and Kill
   Hail and Kill
   Hail Hail Hail and Kill
   Hail and Kill Hail and kill
 
 
 

The Warrior's Prayer

Grandfather tell me a story
Allright go and get your storybook
No no not one of those a real story
A real story?
Yes tell me about when you were a boy
Well then I shall have to take you back with me a long way in time

I was my thirteenth year on a cold winter's day as I walk through the enchanted forest. I heard the sound of horses and men at arms. I felt compelled to walk on and find the place of these sounds. And when the forest did clear I was standing on a hill. Before me was a great plain. Upon it, the armies of the world standing, waiting. I thought to myself for whom or for what are they waiting?. Suddenly a gust of wind came up from the north. There appeared a lone rider holding a sword of steel. Then from the south came another bearing a battle ax. From the east came a third holding a spiked club. And finally from the west a rider who wielded a great hammer of war. With them came their soldiers of death followed by an army of immortals. They were few in number but the look in their eyes told all who beheld them that they would leave this day only in victory or death and there was a great silence... My heart began to pound. Storm clouds filled the sky with darkness. Rain came. And the four winds blew with such anger that I held fast to a tree. I watched the four riders raise their weapons into the air without warning. Screaming their war cry they led the attack. Down to the battle they rode. They met the armies of the world with a mighty clash! I could feel the ground shake. The earth drank much blood that day! Each of the four was unto himself a whirlwind of doom !!!!!!!!!

When the smoke did clear many thousands were dead. There was much blood and gore. Their bodies lay broken and scattered across the battlefield like brown leaves blown by the wind. And I saw the four ride together to the top of the hill. While below them the soldiers of death assembled. All those who would now swear allegiance to them.

And the four spoke the words of the warriors prayer:

Gods of war I call you. My sword is by my side.
I seek a life of honor, free from all false pride.
I will crack the whip with a bold mighty hail.
Cover me with death if I should ever fail.
Glory, majesty, unity
Hail, Hail, Hail

And as I stood and looked on I heard the armies of the world hail them without end and their voices of victory carried long and far throughout the land!

Well that's it. Did you like the story?
Yeah it was great!
Oh good. I'm glad. Now off to bed with you
Grandfather?
Yes?
Who were those four men?
Who were they? They were the metal kings !!!!!!!
