Allow me to introduce me "Predator" is my given name Sometimes even known as "Reaper" I don't care 'bout the shady fame By night (by night), by day (by day) Controlled from far away It's death I'm bringing When rules are gone Descending out of heaven I am a loaded gun War cry! War cry! Payback War cry! When drones attack War cry! No time to pray Neither terrorists nor children War cry! Will get away As soon as I leave the hangar Politics has clearly failed Justice or immoral murder? Civil death is the price we'll pay Airstrike (airstrike), bombs fall (bombs fall) Damage collateral It's death I'm bringing To Pakistan To targets in Somalia Also Afghanistan War cry! War cry! Payback War cry! When drones attack War cry! No time to pray Neither terrorists nor children War cry! Will get away War cry! War cry! Payback War cry! When drones attack War cry! No time to pray Neither terrorists nor children War cry! Will get away Doomsday! When drones attack War cry! No time to pray Neither terrorists nor children War cry! Will get away

I know a tale that very surely must be told Hard to believe, but certainly as true as gold It's an enigma, an exception in mankind Hark to my words and let the story twist your mind There was a man who lived in the U.S. Quite average he was, I must confess Quite decent, fair and settled as they say And here the story takes its course Fooled by your guts - They're brewing alcohol Fooled like a klutz - Fooled by your own brewing guts Belly-brewed beer - Who ever heard of that? Belly of fear - Fear of your own belly-beer They found him drunk with 3,70 per mill "I do not drink!" he swore to heaven and to hell No one believed him until finally one day Special doctor luckily would meet his way They locked him in a secret hideaway And nourished him on diet every day Whenever he ate any kind of carbs The story sadly took its course Fooled by your guts - They're brewing alcohol Fooled like a klutz - Fooled by your own brewing guts Belly-brewed beer - Who ever heard of that? Belly of fear - Fear of your own belly-beer They found saccharomyces cerevisiae Within his guts one liberating day A fungus turning starch to alcohol Where can I get that one? Fooled by your guts - They're brewing alcohol Fooled like a klutz - Fooled by your own brewing guts Belly-brewed beer - Who ever heard of that? Belly of fear - Fear of your own belly-beer Fooled by your guts!

Bad brands rising - on mega-sales they ride The evil corporations strive To conquer and enslave mankind Shackles made of profits - In banknotes clad they fight Their deadly smart-phone-axes kill Our precious savings overnight When all defenses fail The brand-lords will prevail Riders of the doom - ruthless tycoons! Riders of the doom - consumers beware! Men-in-suits-platoons - Will march into our living rooms No matter where you hide your funds - Riders of the doom! Exploitation - the lords of brands strike back With Micro-Rough, Sam-Hung, Goo-Gal Amass-On, Face-Hook, Barry-Black Blood and guts will splatter - women start to cry When Grapple swings the big i-sword Or terror-apps force you to buy When all defenses fail The Brand-Lords will prevail Riders of the doom - ruthless tycoons! Riders of the doom - consumers beware! Men-in-suits-platoons - Will march into our living rooms No matter where you hide your funds - Riders of the doom! Riders of the doom! When all defenses fail The Brand-Lords will prevail Riders of the doom - ruthless tycoons! Riders of the doom - consumers beware! Men-in-suits-platoons - Will march into our living rooms No matter where you hide your funds - Riders of the doom! Riders of the doom! Will ride into our living rooms No matter where you hide your funds - Riders of the doom!

I heard the news last week Rude shock! Fell to my knees The truth feels like a stranglehold Words of comfort seem so cold You've always been like a brother to me Now I'm forsaken, my heart's filled with grief From early childhood we have been like one Through thick and thin so sad that you're gone Anger! Is what I'm feeling 'Bout fate and destiny They are coldblooded bringers Of pain and misery Guilty! My first emotion Am I the one to blame? Could I have seen it coming? My doubts turn into shame Neither ambition Nor good intent or lie Will ease the sorrow Life means death, hope can't die! It took some courage Until I realized That we're all mortal Life goes on, hope can't die! Life goes on, hope can't die! I saw your face last day Palest white! Facade of clay Wish I had the guts to act But now it's too late your death is a fact So, dearest friend, may you now rest in peace I won't forget you those good memories Here at your gravestone there is one thing I'll swear Deep in my heart, you'll always be there Anger! Is what I'm feeling 'Bout fate and destiny They are coldblooded bringers Of pain and misery Guilty! My first emotion Am I the one to blame? Could I have seen it coming? My doubts turn into shame Neither ambition Nor good intent or lie Will ease the sorrow Life means death, hope can't die! It took some courage Until I realized That we're all mortal Life goes on, hope can't die! Life goes on, hope can't die! Neither ambition Nor good intent or lie Will ease the sorrow Life means death, hope can't die! It took some courage Until I realized That we're all mortal Life goes on, hope can't die! Neither ambition Nor good intent or lie Will ease the sorrow Life means death, hope can't die! It took some courage Until I realized That we're all mortal Life goes on, hope can't die! Life goes on, hope can't die! I heard the news last week Rude shock! Fell to my knees The truth feels like a stranglehold Woods of comfort seem so cold

I woke up to total confusion Could not figure out where I've been On my tongue a dead gopher rotting In my head throbbed a sore aching pain Raise my spirit! Revive my force! Raise my fire, my desire! Lave and light my fuse again! I still clutched a wondrous structure Shimmering dimly in the grey light Stale but un-spilled, fizzyless but we Shared one bed and we shared the night Give me what I need today! Breakfast for champions! Get up in the Tankard way! Breakfast for champions! Liver, you will have to pay! Breakfast for champions! Get up in the Tankard way! Breakfast for champions! I compelled myself to a first kiss Sipping gently, then taking a gush All the colors that still were missing Flooded my grey world with a flush Raise my spirit! Revive my force! Raise my fire, my desire! Lave and light my fuse again! I woke up to total confusion Could not figure out where I've been On my tongue a dead gopher rotting In my head throbbed a sore aching pain Give me what I need today! Breakfast for champions! Get up in the Tankard way! Breakfast for champions! Liver, you will have to pay! Breakfast for champions! Get up in the Tankard way! Breakfast for champions! Give me what I need today! Breakfast for champions! Get up in the Tankard way! Breakfast for champions! Liver, you will have to pay! Breakfast for champions! Get up in the Tankard way! Breakfast for champions!

I'm just hanging around tonight, just watching films I am on the Zombie Trip and brutal things I like Zombie attack The film I saw is over now and I leave my home Brutal Zombies are shouting so hard, is it real or not? Zombie attack I wake up, this was a dream, I drink my beer But then I see a Zombie killin', I know I must die

Can this be or am I dreaming? What a mess! Woke up drunk lying on the floor This cannot be, my place is trashed Broken bottles everywhere Vomit oozing down the stairs I asked myself how did this happen Don't recall Why the nasty, pounding headache? I need relief, where's the tylenol Lying in my bed! With a swollen head! What did I do? I always regret the morning after! Morning's passed, now I think I remember Holy shit! Ugly bitch playing with my member Mutated sow with an extra tit Senseless ruckus late at night That's when we began to fight Four AM and we were hungry Cooked some food Ate until the fridge was empty Then they left, all their bellies full Now my brain feels like mashed potatoes Getting sick I swear to kick this nasty habit And never drink for ever more Headache ceases, all is fine Getting thirsty, where's the wine? I cannot stop though I'm seeing double Sloshed again I know it's sad but I really need it Cause alcohol is my only friend Lying in my bed! With a swollen head! What did I do? Lying in my bed! With a swollen head! What did I do? I always regret the morning after!

Back in the days of early metal In '82 we formed to stay First under "Vortex" and "Avenger" In "Tankard" then we found our way We found our way And still we play From the first day We're on our way Even in times When thrash exhausted When fame was gone We held the flag up high We burn Burn like fire We thrash Thrashing higher Until we go mad We burn Burn like fire We thrash Thrashing higher Not one day been dead After the 90's great depression When metal limped and grunge did play Then there was the big revival We have never lost our way We found our way And still we play From the first day We're on our way Never broke up When we faced trouble Second-rate beer Cheap hotels, lousy gigs We burn Burn like fire We thrash Thrashing higher Until we go mad We burn Burn like fire We thrash Thrashing higher Not one day been dead We're limelight hogs Nothing can part us No reasons for a fucking reunion We burn Burn like fire We thrash Thrashing higher Until we go mad We burn Burn like fire We thrash Thrashing higher Not one day been dead But one day really fucking mad We burn Burn like fire Until we go mad We thrash Thrashing higher Not one day been dead

Once I was a young boy Ready to explode Sister was my idol Out there on the road She didn't want me To be satisfied "Stay alone and hungry" She was singing loud Blinded by her lipstick Following the crowd Dee never showed me How to feel alright Confusion! Confusion! I could not find some friends But then my eyes did open My conclusion? Disillusion! You can keep your make-up! Stupid curly clown! Keep your stretchy pants, you're Twisted to the bone! Now I'm a free man Weakness is my strength Stay thirsty! Stay thirsty! That's what life's all about No fighting, no burning We drinkers hang around [Chorus:] Stay thirsty! Stay thirsty! Let the beer flow - Stay thirsty! Liquid nation - Stay thirsty! Sitting on my sofa Crying 'bout the past I'm so fat and lazy Affluence my ass! Bring back the 80s Wildness, sex and bite Infusion! Infusion! That's what I need today To hell with idle lifestyle The solution? Retrogression! See me and my buddies Move from pub to pub Stretchy pants and lipstick Sisters never stop! We blend the old days With some booze and fun Stay thirsty! Stay thirsty! That's what life's all about No fighting, no burning We drinkers hang around [Chorus:] Stay thirsty! Stay thirsty! Let the beer flow - Stay thirsty! Liquid nation - Stay thirsty! [Chorus:] Stay thirsty! Stay thirsty! Let the beer flow - Stay thirsty! Liquid nation - Stay thirsty! Stay thirsty! Stay thirsty! Let the beer flow - Stay thirsty! Liquid nation - Stay thirsty!

There was a problem that was posed upon them There was a riddle awaiting to be solved They hit the stage and all they played was bullshit They hit the stage but didn't hit a note Think and brood on what might be the answer Rack your brain in your struggle for the truth So many years they pondered then they sorted it out Too much boozing all the day before the show So many years then they create the iron law No more drinking on the day before the show BUT RULES FOR FOOLS WILL FOOL THE FOOLISH YOU THINK YOU MADE IT YOU FRAMED A GUIDELINE YOU THOUGHT OF ALL NOW BUT YOU WILL SEE They soon played well, you saw them in the billboard They soon played well and they reputation grew But in the backstage no one heard them laughing In the backstage they were feeling blue Think and brood on what might be the answer Rack your brain in your struggle for the truth So many years they pondered then they sorted it out Your will is free and that is all that life's about So many years, then they abolished their own law And every second show they're drinking as before BUT RULES FOR FOOLS WILL FOOL THE FOOLISH YOU THINK YOU MADE IT YOU FRAMED A GUIDELINE YOU THOUGHT OF ALL NOW BUT YOU WILL SEE And when you hear them play like hell Which show is it now, can you tell? BUT RULES FOR FOOLS WILL FOOL THE FOOLISH YOU THINK YOU MADE IT YOU FRAMED A GUIDELINE YOU THOUGHT OF ALL NOW BUT RULES FOR FOOLS WILL FOOL THE FOOLISH YOU THINK YOU MADE IT YOU FRAMED A GUIDELINE YOU THOUGHT OF ALL NOW BUT YOU WILL SEE
