One Foot in the Grave

I'm the front-man of forgiveness Touring in my Chevrolet All the bible-belt I ramble Come, rejoice I'm on my way I bring you the greatest love-show And my play-list is a blast I just got that certain spirit And my fan-base's growing fast I sell Jesus' backstage passes May God bless you Special offer, yes a bargain I'm cheapest, it's true Come to meet-and greet the savior Sing: "Hallelu...!" Free yourself from earthly burdens I'll bear them for you (I'll bear them for you, I'll bear them for you) I will make you pay to pray Say, won't you be redeemed today? Yes, I will make you pay to pray You never know when he will come, You never know when you'll be gone So take your chance and pay to pray I present our choice of wonders Lame, mute, deaf, I heal the lot Raise your hands and join the chorus What you give will do me good Every question finds an answer You can read it in my book Merchandise, CDs and TV Yes I get the masses hooked I sell Jesus' backstage passes May God bless you Special offer, yes a bargain I'm cheapest, it's true Come to meet-and greet the savior Sing: "Hallelu...!" Free yourself from earthly burdens I'll bear them for you (I'll bear them for you, I'll bear them for you) I will make you pay to pray Say, won't you be redeemed today? Yes, I will make you pay to pray You never know when he will come, You never know when you'll be gone So take your chance and pay to pray I sell Jesus' backstage passes May God bless you Special offer, yes a bargain I'm cheapest, it's true Come to meet-and greet the savior Sing: "Hallelu...!" Free yourself from earthly burdens I'll bear them for you (I'll bear them for you, I'll bear them for you) I will make you pay to pray Say, won't you be redeemed today? Yes, I will make you pay to pray You never know when he will come, You never know when you'll be gone So take your chance and pay to pray I will make you pay to pray (I will make you pay to pray) Say, won't you be redeemed today?

Rising up with a steely genome We hit the ground like a comet of chrome Dressed in black - leather, spikes and chains As rhythm through our veins We're the guardians Of nonconformity The dreaded bogeymen When we show up the brainwashed flee Don't bullshit us anymore! Stop the muzak! Just pull back those bad tracks! Don't bullshit us anymore! If you refuse to progress We'll lecture you in loudness We want Metal on the radio Don't bullshit us! Don't bullshit us anymore! Stations lost when we storm their rooms Presenters hide 'cause their dodges are doomed The volume's now under our control See banging heads from pole to pole We're the guardians Of nonconformity The dreaded bogeymen When we show up the brainwashed flee Don't bullshit us anymore! Stop the muzak! Just pull back those bad tracks! Don't bullshit us anymore! If you refuse to progress We'll lecture you in loudness We want Metal on the radio Don't bullshit us! Don't bullshit us anymore! We'll wipe out crappy pop No more pollution audio Our wall of sound will rock All loyal bangers show for show We're the guardians Of nonconformity The dreaded bogeymen When we show up the brainwashed flee Don't bullshit us anymore! Stop the muzak! Just pull back those bad tracks! Don't bullshit us anymore! If you refuse to progress We'll lecture you in loudness We want Metal on the radio Don't bullshit us! Don't bullshit us anymore!

When we were younger, decades ago We've let it all hang out while boozing tons of alcohol These days are over, we're fossils now All threatened with extinction Too weak, antique Our joints are crunching No sex but brand new teeth We feel a troubling Date of expiry One foot in the grave - send in the doctor With death face to face - the God of Beer is calling One foot in the grave - where is my pension? Grey hair's no disgrace - one foot in the grave Real beauty lies in wrinkly tattoos In our old age home the nurses have got piercings too Hop in your wheelchair and feed some birds Let's have a race on crutches Senile with style Black leather diapers (Black leather diapers) Bedpans of shiny chrome But we'll keep banging (But we'll keep banging) And shake off Parkinsons One foot in the grave - send in the doctor With death face to face - the God of Beer is calling One foot in the grave - where is my pension? Grey hair's no disgrace - one foot in the grave Our joints are crunching (Our joints are crunching) No sex but brand new teeth We feel a troubling (We feel a troubling) Date of expiry One foot in the grave - send in the doctor With death face to face - the God of Beer is calling One foot in the grave - where is my pension? Grey hair's no disgrace - one foot in the grave One foot in the grave - send in the doctor With death face to face - the God of Beer is calling One foot in the grave - where is my pension? Grey hair's no disgrace - one foot in the grave

Flashes from the missiles - fire in the sky Bombardments hammer down Howling of projectiles louder than the cries I'm running alone Fleeing from the soldiers - rebel groups alike Surrounding our town Killing the civilians - there's no place to hide No mosque - no playground When torture, pain & violence become daily routine My eyes have no more tears left - too much grief I've seen Syrian nightmare - calamity The world is just watching in passive lethargy Syrian nightmare - why should I pray? The world is just watching the death toll anyway Our so called leaders slaying us for years Poison gas policy Cruel interrogations, people disappear War crimes, beastly Many fled the country - millions like I'm told Now I am one of them You can call me Ahmed, I am 10 years old Will I live again? When torture, pain & violence become daily routine My eyes have no more tears left - too much grief I've seen Syrian nightmare - calamity The world is just watching in passive lethargy Syrian nightmare - why should I pray? The world is just watching the death toll anyway When torture, pain & violence become daily routine My eyes have no more tears left - too much grief I've seen Syrian nightmare - calamity The world is just watching in passive lethargy Syrian nightmare - why should I pray? The world is just watching the death toll anyway Syrian nightmare - calamity The world is just watching in passive lethargy Syrian nightmare - why should I pray? The world is just watching the death toll anyway

I was born in midwinter When cruel frost bites the ground With eyes like burning embers Living by the oath I'm bound Riding winds of fire I return from beyond the grave Killing all the liars To take revenge for my death Wreaking havoc By full moon I shall rise Leading my dead allies I'll burn your wretched town To claim it back, the Northern Crown! Warriors like a flood The undead spilling blood Hail, ice and thunderstorm To get it back, the Northern Crown! Axes, broadswords, black magic Demons at my command On battlefields I'm crushing Corpses across the land This is my desire In real life I'm a normal guy I'm a taxi driver But during lunch time watch out! I'm daydreaming By full moon I shall rise Leading my dead allies I'll burn your wretched town To claim it back, the Northern Crown! Warriors like a flood The undead spilling blood Hail, ice and thunderstorm To get it back, the Northern Crown! Riding winds of fire (fire) I return from beyond the grave Killing all the liars (liars) To take revenge for my death Wreaking havoc By full moon I shall rise Leading my dead allies I'll burn your wretched town To claim it back, the Northern Crown! Warriors like a flood The undead spilling blood Hail, ice and thunderstorm To get it back, the Northern Crown! To get it back, the Northern Crown! To get it back, the Northern Crown!

I met that guy, that guy late one night His face was gleaming in the pale moonlight His arms were scarred, a guitar in hand I found it hard to keep my stand I raised my very last beer for defense He said "Thank you" in a mocking sense And he said: "If I could start anew I would play stuff like you!" It's meant to shock you off They try to scare away They're really not that tough Don't fear the evil that men display! We played a show, a show far away We left the bus for the restrooms urgently Some local band had put on their make-up The bathroom's floor soaked with blood They played their show in an infernal way Backstage we could hear them say: "Don't you buy that new mascara! You won't look well, smears like hell" It's meant to shock you off They try to scare away They're really not that tough Don't fear the evil that men display! At first it scares you, strikes you with fright Then it appears in a different light What seemed to be an offensive attack? Preventive defense to keep you back If you see someone scary and frightful Believe in half of what you see Because the guys who are really nasty Know to pretend they are friends It's meant to shock you off They try to scare away They're really not that tough Don't fear the evil that men display! It's meant to shock you off They try to scare away They're really not that tough Don't fear the evil that men display!
