A Dangerous Meeting

[Mercyful Fate cover]

Tonight the circle is meeting again
Who will be the first to fall in trance
In here nobody is sensing the rain
Tonight the spirit will glance
So as they're approaching ghostly hour
Seven people here are joining hands
They think they know the spirit to appear
Contact, the table starts to dance

Time is standing still
It's a dangerous meeting
They're gonna get themselves killed

Tonight the circle is broken forever
Seven people dead within a trance
In here nobody is sensing the rain
Tonight seven souls are reaching hell

Time was standing still
The meeting is over
Their journey is on

Oh, they should have known
Not to play with the powers of Hell

Some people have lost their way
Some people have lost their mind

Metal On Metal

[Anvil cover]

Metal on metal
It's what I crave
The louder the better
I'll turn in my grave

Metal on metal
Ears start to bleed
Cranking it up
Fulfilling my need

Metal on metal
Shaking the place
Blows back your hair
Caves in your face

Metal on metal
Feeling the grind
Up go the hammers
A victim to find

Metal on metal
Heads start to bang
Denim and leathers
Chains that clang

Keep on rocking
Keep on rocking
To this metal tonight
Keep on pounding
Keep on pounding
Join the heavy metal fight

Metal on metal
Gets you so high
Excitement and action
Won't pass you by

Metal on metal
The hardened breed
True to the end
A fire to feed

Metal on metal
Heat starts to rise
Kicking it out
With screams and cries

Metal on metal Never will die
Parties and concerts
Keep it alive

Metal on metal
It's the only way
To hell with tomorrow
Let's live for today

The Frayed Ends Of Sanity

[Metallica cover]

Never hunger, never prosper
I have fallen prey to failure
Struggle within triggered again
Now the candle burns at both ends

Twisting under schizophrenia
Falling deep into dementia

Old habits reappear fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy everyone's after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling, hear them calling me

Birth of terror, death of much more
I'm the slave of fear, my captor
Never warnings, spreading its wings
As I wait for the horror she brings

Loss of interest, question, wonder
Waves of fear they pull me under

Old habits reappear fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy, everyone's after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling, hear them calling me

Into ruin I am sinking
Hostage of this nameless feeling
Hell is set free, flooded I'll be
Feel the undertow inside me

Height, hell, time, haste, terror, tension
Life, death, want, waste, mass depression

Old habits reappear fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy, myself is after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling, frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling, hear them calling me

At Dawn They Sleep

[Slayer cover]

Awakened I have become
Light now slips away
Manipulate your mind
Darkness is my slave

Taste the sins of Hell
The blood that I so crave
The last thing that you see
Is the hunger in my eyes

Blood sucking creatures of the night
Nocturnal spectre hiding from the light
Cries screaming out every fright
Eagerly awaiting plight
Apparitions from the pits of Hell
Death plagues the streets in which they dwell
Demented lust, the secrets they must keep
Addicted to your blood
At dawn they sleep

Unveil the hidden coffin
Lift the lid of terror
Feel the deadly cold
Freeze you from inside

Perceiving your intentions
To slay the phantom form
Raise the stake in malice
You cannot plunge it down

Blood sucking creatures of the night
Nocturnal spectre hiding from the light
Cries screaming out every fright
Eagerly awaiting plight
Apparitions from the pits of Hell
Death plagues the streets in which they dwell
Demented lust, the secrets they must keep
Addicted to your blood
At dawn they sleep

Beware the image unseen
Stalks your soul
Your corpse's redeem

Eternal damnation you just reward
A servant of our Lord
By your accord

Admonish of the cruciform
Impalement
Immortality's scorned

Rise hold fast your faith
To lie dormant
Is certain Death

(Driven by the instinct of centuries of horror
Implanted along the brain of the sickening parasite
Linked together by one trait
The Hell-filled need to kill... kill... kill... kill... KILL)

Emerging from their Hellish tomb
Taking flight amidst the night
The evening skies are raining Death

Swooping down from shadowed skies
Taking simple human form
Shed their wings to stalk the mortal man

Lock their jaws into your veins
Satanic soldiers strike their prey
Leaving corpses waiting for the change

Blood dripping from the jaws of Death
Not enough to satisfy
They must drain your soul of life

Not Fragile

[Bachman Turner Overdrive cover]

Comin' to you across country
Hoping boogies still allowed
You ask do we play heavy music
Well are thunderheads just another cloud, we do
Not Fragile, straight at you

Then we vanish to the night
Still in your ears but out of sight

Not Fragile

Don't think we feel hurt or wounded
Or our egos are showing through
It's our world that's been disrupted
And our strength reflects from you
Well its true
Not Fragile, over you

Try us when you're getting down
Feelin' high or just hangin' round

Not Fragile

The times we travel in our lives
Are hard and give us drive
We may seem distant most of the time
But many thoughts are still on our minds

Not Fragile

On Fire

[Van Halen cover]

Turn your radios on
I'll appear right there, yes, I will
Turn me up real loud
I'm in your, ears

Now I'm hanging ten now, baby
As I ride your sonic, ooh, wave
(Oww)

Good God y'all, I'm on fire
I'm on fire, I'm on fire, I'm on fire
Oh yeah, one time
Fire, fire, fire

Ow, woo, ah, aha
Ooh, ooh

Lay your bodies down
I'm in your beds, your beds
Throw your headphones on
I'm in your heads, aha

Now I'm hangin' ten now, baby
As I ride your sonic, ooh, wave
(Ah)

Good God y'all, I'm on fire
I'm on fire, I'm on fire
(Ow)
I'm on fire
(Woo, woo)

I'm on fire
(Woo, woo)
I'm on fire
(Woo)

I'm on fire, I'm on fire
(Woo)
I'm on fire, I'm on fire
(Ow)

I'm on fire
(Ah)
I'm on fire
(Ah)

Pounding Metal

[Exciter cover]

Goin' to the show pounding your fists to the air
Heads slamming, brains bashing, it's Over The Top you don't care
Headbanging rats rip this place from the ceiling to the ground
Black night, Metal fight, tear it apart as we pound

Pounding Metal, Pounding Metal
Pounding Metal, Pounding Metal

Losing control, feeling the force from the back to the stage
Caught in the spell, 'cause it's louder than hell,
gone past the pressures of pain
Leather 'n spikes strapped to the wrists of this Metal brigade
Like pistons pumping, headbangers pounding, the sound of an army in rage

Pounding Metal, Pounding Metal
(Yeah) Pounding Metal, Pounding Metal

Dark night intense fight, bone crushing metal disease
Watts of power, wanting it louder
No one can stop us when we're pounding

Goin' to the show pounding your fists to the air
Heads slamming, brains bashing, it's Over The Top you don't care
Headbanging rats rip this place from the ceiling to the ground
Black night, Metal fight, tear it apart as we pound

Pounding Metal, Pounding Metal
Pounding Metal, Pounding Metal
Pounding Metal, Pounding Metal
(Yeah) Pounding Metal, Pounding Metal
(Pounding) Pounding Metal, Pounding Metal (Rip it apart)
Pounding Metal, Pounding Metal (Yeah)
Pounding Metal, Pounding Metal (Pounding)
Pounding Metal, Pounding Metal
Pounding Metal, Pounding Metal (Tear it apart)
Pounding Metal, Pounding Metal [x4]

Destroyer

[Twisted Sister cover]

He spent his life
A silent sentinel for all to fear
He walks, he talks
He thinks, he feels

But no dare go near, he takes in all he sees
Nothing escapes his gaze
And when he strikes he strikes for right
A glorious sight

Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer
He's in town

He came to be from a grand mistake
A mystical charade created to decide the good
And bring repercussive aid
As awareness filled his fame

He examined those who leered
Then he cleaved the air with his fiery stare
Rend all those there

Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer
He's in town
Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer
He's in town

A day will come
You'll be drawn into the center of your town
And come upon a mass of steel
That cracks the very ground

Prepare to meet your judge
Don't think to run away
Just pray your face
Holds no disgrace for the deadly ace

Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer
He's in
Destroyer, destroyer, destroyer
He's in town, oh, he's town

You'd better stay out of his way
He's gonna kick your ass, yeah, destroyer

Psychotherapy

[Ramones cover]

Psychotherapy, psychotherapy
Psychotherapy, that's what they wanna give me
Psychotherapy, psychotherapy
Psychotherapy, all they wanna give me

I am a teenage schizoid
The one your parents despise
Psychotherapy
Now I got glowing eyes

I am a teenage schizoid
Pranks and muggings are fun
Psychotherapy
Gonna kill someone

Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy

I like takin' Tuinal
It keeps me edgy and mean
I am a teenage schizoid
I am a teenage dope fiend

I am a kid in the nut house
I am a kid in the psycho zone
Psychotherapy
I'm gonna burglarize your home

Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy, psychotherapy, psychotherapy
Psychotherapy, that's what they wanna give me
Psychotherapy, psychotherapy

Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck

[Prong cover]

Nothing breeds more contempt for this world
Than memories now formed
Every moment a new seed
Is grown to no reason, the trouble unfolds
For the trials of today
I'm no jury, really don't care how you feel
The pleasant notion of miraculous change
Drifts into multiple jeers jeers jeers

You want the good life
You break your back
You snap your fingers, you snap your neck

Seconds drip through my hands
Washed of moments unborn
All the spaces between bleed
A tribute to a sacrament never exposed
A message to the forces,
I've no pity, don't know how thankful to feel
Expectations of my daily bread
Gives me the hunger to steal

You want the good life
You break your back
You snap your fingers, you snap your neck

You want the good life
You break your back
You snap your fingers, you snap your neck

Snap your fingers, Snap your neck
Snap your fingers, Snap your neck
