Chorus 3 Look for a safe place where no one will find you and try to escape from the law Whenever you are there's a killer behind you wanting to get you for sure To lose the fear one day he will get you be faster and kill him and run Now you don't have to fear him no more but in his place another headhunter will come Run away!!! Solo: Kai / Michael / Kai Chorus 1 & 2 You're a murderer - in every town Murderer - to the whole world Murderer - you're on the run Murderer - you'll have to kill Murderer - in every town Murderer - to the whole world Murderer - you're on the run Murderer - but you'll have to kill ... again! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) Warrior (Hansen) 3:59 Blackened sky a final flash Death is in the air Warriors without a face Destruction everywhere Silent falls the hammer No one hears the cries No escaping form this hell Your prayers won't be heard ... so die Brainless cruel commanders... Sending death and pain Soldiers only robots Fight for their life in vain Again there falls the hammer No one hears the cries No escaping form this hell Your prayers won't be heard ... so die Die now - die ... warrior! (2) Somewhere in a shelter sit the men who hold your fate in his hands Playin' chess and you're the loser, you're a small pawn in their game Solo: Kai / both Somewhere in a shelter sit the men and they don't realize A war without survivors is a fight that's never won ... so die! Barren land desolate waste Destruction is complete Survivors creepin' through the ruins Decaying flesh and meat Somewhere in a shelter Some pigs are still alive And they still play the game They don't give a damn ... so die! Die now - die ... warrior (4) Die! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) Victim Of Fate (Hansen) 6:37 I was born in a rotten part of the town The biggest trap I had seen Wherever you'll go and wherever you'll get to Evil is all around My mother's a bitch my father's a killer Gettin' paid for murder Fightin' and strugglin' the whole day The only way to survive Chorus 1: Wanted from law but they'll never catch me I'd much rather die in this bloody war Chorus 2: Fly high touch the sky Never know the reason why it ends Victim of fate Chorus 2 I had to kill people and save my own life I don't wanna get to hell I started at the bottom I'm heading for the top I'll never return I'll never go back to that goddamn part of the town Headhunters won't get me 'cause I'm not stupid But this ain't the life I dreamt of Chorus 1 & 2 Chorus 2 What now lonely man ... who's standing in the shadow of the streets You're left alone ... with no helpin' hand beside you You hide from the daylight, living in darkness You have no friends, you can trust nobody except for yourself! The only shade that's beside you ... is the shade of Lucifer Laughing with a satanic smile Ha ha ha! And his friend - death - sharpens his sickle You don't wanna die for you? But you will You will burn in hell Solo: both / Kai Chorus 2 (2) Solo: Kai / Michael Fly high, touch the sky You will die! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Cry For Freedom (Weikath, Hansen) 6:02 "Freedom", this cry ... of all slaves will be heard And the tyrants ... will feel the steel of the sword The chains ... will be broken ... by all slaves on the earth Forever to be free from their load Time has run out for all you tyrants on earth Your slaves are heedin' the call Makin' an end to all this terror and pain An end to your lies and your law Takin' away all your gold and your money 'Cause dead men don't need it anymore Much too long we felt the slash of your whips So now you will feel our swords "Freedom", the eternal cry will echo high in the sky The day will come when all power has been broken Your blood will flow down to the gates of hell Satan will wait for your souls Pray to your god he won't help you he's dead He won't fool our minds and our souls ... anymore Chorus: "Freedom", this cry of all slaves will be heard And the tyrants will feel the steel of the sword The chains will be broken by all slaves on the earth Forever to be free from their load Solo: both / Michael / Kai Chorus Forever to be free from their load... ------------------------------------------------------------------------
