The Ten Commandments of Metal

I think about closing the door And lately I think of it more I'm living well out of my time I feel like i'm losing my mind I should be at the table round A servant of the crown The keeper of the sign To sparkle and to shine Never, no never again! Listen to me and believe what I say if you can Never, this is the end You know I've seen the faces of doom and I'm only a man Help me, tell me I'm sane I feel a change in the earth, in the wind and the rain Save me, take me away You know I've seen some creatures from hell and I've heard what they say! I've got to be strong Oh, I'm falling off the edge of the world Think you're safe, but you're wrong! We are falling off the edge of the world! Look out! there's danger! no where to run! It seems like desperate measures but sometimes it has to be done Over, it's over at last There's a message inside as we build a new life from the past We're falling off the edge of the world! Yes, the edge of the world! It's the end of the world!

Three sons have I and they ride by my side The fierce, the black and the wicked are their names We ride down my enemies on their half hearted flight No voice of mercy, no evangels of light Mighty messengers heathens rage Witness our coming, the Gods of the dead I ride through the air, I laugh as I die With powers of evil dark knowledge is mine The ride of the wicked, the first sin was trust Kill without warning for blood now I lust Strong winds magic mist To Asgard the valkries fly High overhead they carry the dead Where the blood of my enemy lies Three sons have I and they ride by my side The fierce, the black and the wicked are their names We ride down my enemies on their half hearted flight No voice of mercy, no evangels of light Strong winds magic mist To Asgard the valkries fly High overhead they carry the dead Where the blood of my enemy lies

Deliver us from all the wicked Deliver us from the woe Free, these chains of hell and now''s the time to strike the final blow One by one, to the swords, to the guns! Two by two, and away we go Father and Son, heed the words we pray Deliver us from Evil this day Deliver us from Evil today Deliver us from ill minded rulers Deliver us from all their talk See all the evil and the greed These people that seek what they''ve lost One by one, to the swords, to the guns! Two by two, and away we go Father and Son, heed the words we pray Deliver us from Evil this day Deliver us from Evil today Prepare for the final awakening Prepare for the time it has come Look to the heavens! A crack in the sky The ending of time has begun . . . and now all that you have is gone . . . Deliver us from all the hatred Deliver us from all the sin and we who believe will eternally sing these words in which we call the battle hymn! One by one, to the swords, to the guns! Two by two, and away we go Father and Son, heed the words we pray Deliver us from Evil this day Deliver us from Evil today Deliver us from Evil . . . we pray!

The fool danced around at the gathering of the court The sweetest virgin so beautiful sang Drums declared outside a war was fought Throughout the land the church bells rang The very next day the king rode out to fight Knights dressed in steel riding by his side The battle went on and on throughout the night As the clock struck twelve the king had died The king is dead! Nothing can bring him back The king is dead! Queen’s dressed in black Now she stands alone Taking over the throne And as the world slowly turned around The queen ruled the land by her own hand But for the queen no happiness was found Without her king she ruled the land The king is dead! Nothing can bring him back The king is dead! Queen’s dressed in black Standing alone, taking over the throne Solo The king is dead! Nothing can bring him back The king is dead! Queen’s dressed in black The king is dead! Nothing can bring him back The king is dead! Queen’s dressed in black

I'm standing here in silence This graceful place of peace Watching the shadows come closer The birds they sing no longer The winds they blow no more With fear of death I'm waiting for the night to fall The sun will set forever One after one the stars they die The rainbow has turned to black Darkness has fallen in paradise Love is lost in memories All beauty and all light Have vanished from the Garden of delight The Devil and his gift The heart he stole away But innocence was lost long ago The morning will come no more Our dreams are all gone Midnight has come to stay Darkness has fallen in paradise Oh father please forgive us Forgive us all our sins Please bring your light Again to lead our way But my prayers are not answered They fade out to die And so does the last gleam of hope The morning will come no more Our dreams are all gone Midnight has come to stay Darkness has fallen in paradise I know my death is near Far beyond my dreams My fate is waiting To show me the light... I believe Darkness has fallen in paradise Darkness has fallen

You take the first blow, I taste revenge Let anger come my will is done, malicious in my intent The hate is rising, the swell of fear takes over And, oh the taste is sweet my friend So bittersweet No more anger, I've had my revenge Beg for mercy, I'll take you down No more hatred, I've had my revenge Eye for an eye, taste my revenge Caught in a time warp, rage in the wind The shock of surprise still in your eyes As you met your violent end Your strength was failing, degrading you was power My recourse is complete my friend So bittersweet No more anger, I've had my revenge Beg for mercy, I'll take you down No more hatred, I've had my revenge Eye for an eye, taste my revenge As you implore on bended knee Do you regret what you've done to me? No matter how you plead, I'll take you down The hate is rising, the swell of fear takes over And, oh the taste is sweet me friend So bittersweet No more anger, I've had my revenge Beg for mercy, I'll take you down No more hatred, I've had my revenge

The war is over The crypt we now taste In the late 1900's, there is no human race We split the planet with atomic birth Man has died We seal the urn. Negotiations are over Troops are marching to their doom All that I see is a nightmare The smoke is blotting out the moon No, God please stop this bloody slaughter We are off the beaten track All the masses are rebelling To withstand the dark attack Will we make it back beyond the black? Tanks are rolling in millions See them come, and now they're gone All the mountains are blackened They said it came from just one bomb No God please stop this bloody slaughter Let it all repeat -- attack All the masses are rebelling To withstand the dark attack Will we make it back beyond the black? Will we make it back beyond? Out of the crypt with faces marred Seems the night has won We unite as one No more weapons, no more guns Look out! Food supplies are worth more than gold Turn the young into old With blinded eyes we count the cost Of everything that we lost Look out! [Screams] Watch out! Beyond the black

Can't forget his face What a lonely place Has he really let us go? All the time that's lost What's the final cost Will I really get away? All my life it seems Just a crazy dream Reaching for somebody's star Can't believe it all Did he really fall What to do now I don't know Something's called me back There's a light in the black and I´m ready to go I'm coming home Breathed the air before Hear the thunder roar Never knew it was for me Always looking down Lost and never found Eyes that look but not to see All my life it seems Just a crazy dream Reaching for somebody's star Like an open door That you passed before But you never had a key Something's called me back There's a light in the black I'm coming home, I'm coming home, yeah I'm going back to my home I'm going home, home, home Going home, home, home I'm coming back Don't forget his face What a lonely place Did he really let us go All the time that's lost What's the final cost Will I really get away? All my life it seems Just a crazy dream Reaching for somebody's star Can't believe it all Did he really fall What to do now, well I don't know Something's called me back Like a light in the black Yes, I´m ready to go I'm coming home, home, yeah I've got my way back home To the sky There in the sky I see your star
