Manilla Road
Album • 1990
This track is instrumental.
Here I stand like the rock Born and bred to survive I may not be at the top But still it's good to be alive Feeling the flow of the chops Whether be music or flesh This is where sanity stops But don't dig a grave for me yet Dig me no grave I was a rocker from birth A rocker I'll be till I die Scorching the face of the earth Bringing the music to life Flying on high like a bird Nothing can ever shoot down Metal is dead so I've heard But not while I'm still above ground So dig me no grave This is the dream of my life This is the life of my dream It's a hard road to survive But nothing comes easy or free Seems to be so little time Yet life is an eternity I haven't made my last rhyme So keep your damn dirt off of me Dig me no grave

Laying here looking at the ceiling Someone lays a sheet across my chest Something warm is flowing down my fingers Pain is flowing all through my back I try to move my arm but there's no feeling And when I look I see there's nothing there The face beside me stopped totally bleeding The girl I knew has such a distant stare I remember We were flying along And hit something in the air Then I looked straight at the attendant His face is pale as it can be He bends and whispers something softly He says there's no chance for me I remember We were flying along And hit something in the air Life is flowing out my body Pain is flowing out with my blood The sheets are red and moist where I am lying God in heaven teach me how to die I remember We were flying along And hit something in the air.

Here in the fire Nothing belongs to god Only the fire Burning away the heart Here in the mind The holy war is fought Out of all time Into the Courts of Chaos Here in the fire Only the strong survive Blasphemous fire Burning the soul alive Sons of the night Come to claim what was lost These holy knights Come to the Courts of Chaos Here in this unholy pit of despair Nightmares of hell come alive Here the true enemy is your own fear Honor is but to survive Blessed Be warriors who fight here and die Heroes thee are to us all Inside these halls Valkyries have no sight If thee are felled thee be lost Warrior cries Echoing through the night Inside these halls The horde of Chaos falls Inside these halls of hell The Old One still he dwells Sitting upon the throne of Chaos Master of all his race Monster insatiate 'Tis he we come to slay in Chaos Hear our cries In Odin's name we fight Inside these halls The throne of Chaos falls Into the Courts of Chaos Into the halls of eternal despair Into the Courts of Chaos The only enemy is your own fear

Computations are figured The tuning forks are set Turn on the Resonator Start the experiment The forks begin vibrating Dimensional walls gone The machine is emanating Resonations from beyond Life, never was so defined Even inside my mind Everything turns to ecstasy No, now the thing appears Everything to be feared Lives inside this blasphemy Nightmare always there The machine revealed it Lifelike but not quite Like life as we know it Life, there is so little time Something inside my mind Extending my pineal gland No, is it inside my brain Or am I going insane Experiment is out of hand Inside the field of the forks Dimensional barriers dissolve Vibrations open the doors Into the worlds of beyond Is this the gateway to hell Opened up by the machine Is this where Elder Gods dwell Or am I lost in a dream Something comes Not from the grave But from beyond No, Nothing can save You from beyond Now the disrupter of souls Comes from the abyss beyond It is he at the controls Not the computer at all Terror has stricken my heart Everything here is to fear All of my will falls apart As the creature draws near It comes Not from the grave But from beyond No, Nothing can save You from beyond Here is the merchant of death Master of all the unknown Uncounted years he has slept Awakened by frequency tones Come to crush and devour All of the life that it can Receiving all of its power From a machine built by man Still it comes Not from the grave But from beyond No, Nothing can save You from beyond

So little wisdom Inside the mind Mostly the madness of life Unbalanced fission Building inside Melt-down of logical sight Torment is burning Inside the brain Something is yearning To escape the pain Here in the fire Only the strong survive Ashes to ashes Minds turn to dust Lost in the whirlwind A touch of madness Caught in a crossfire Of reality and dream No one seems to hear the screams Lightning the funeral pyre And living in the flame Nothing gained without pain Torment is burning Inside the brain Something is yearning To escape the pain Here in the fire Only the strong survive Ashes to ashes Minds turn to dust Lost in the whirlwind A touch of madness I'm touched By madness Standing before the Labyrinth The birthing place of true torment No time left to confess For the wicked there is no rest When touched by madness Lost in a fantasy Distorted and deranged Wild the spirit never tamed Taught by humanity To cage what's deemed insane No one wants to take the blame Torment is burning Inside the brain Something is yearning To escape the pain Here in the fire Only the strong survive Ashes to ashes Minds turn to dust Lost in the whirlwind A touch of madness I'm touched By madness

As I gaze upon the rising storm My will and my body torn Seven years into the Cyborg Wars I've caught a glimpse of nevermore As the mountains crumble to the sea Mankind's brought to its knees And the land is scorched by war machines As foretold in The Prophecy Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide Live by the gun And by the gun you die As I gaze into the braziers coals The winds of time begin to blow And I see the blood of many souls Spilled on the battlefield of woe Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide No time to bleed Nature undone Engulfed by fire Of Prophecy As I gaze into the mists of time I hear the ancient rhyme And the Valla's words run through my mind Out of the death shall come new life Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide No time to bleed Nature undone Engulfed by fire Of Prophecy
