[based on Homer's Iliad]
As time marches back to infinity
I behold in my eyes
That this land of serenity
Once was a furnace of fire.
At swords, were the gods of the heavens
For the plight of the city of Troy
And for years, did the warriors do battle
For the fight of the Helen of Troy
He was the mighty Achilles
He sought the glory of war
In the heat of fighting and killing
He bought the blood o...
Through Pioneer 10 and Voyager 1
We've launched our knowledge to other suns
Aspiring and reaching for the highest of beings
We've lost our search for the world's basic needs
The Aliens - inside our machines The Aliens - inside our dreams
The Aliens . . . The Aliens, The Aliens are here
Through fiction and lies we gaze at the skies
For flying saucers and men with three eyes
Creating those monst...
The morning has come with the dawn of the sun,
and the masses arise to the day.
They meet their despair in pointless travail,
lost in the eyes of the world where Death is the stage.
For Mammon they live, to themselves they will give,
of treasure and gluttonous pride.
To Self they bow down, they worship their crown,
alive in the eyes of the world, but Death lives inside.
Arise, my friends, aris...
It comes through the heavens, on a mission from hell
A force of destruction, that nothing can repel
A story is born that no one will live to tell
The obliteration of man, now encased in its shell
At the push of a button, we all will go to hell
Who will be left to toll the funeral bell . . .
The Hammer will Fall on you
The Hammerwill Fall on you
Devastation, destruction of all the nations

on the eve of tribulation
before the morrow's wrath
it was then then that the covens gathered
for the final black mass
the moon it was full
and the time had come for us all
the sun it was gone
and the people awaited their call
the devil was there
with the fire burning in the air
the demons they danced
and drank from the chalice they shared
nobody cared
now the evil of man
had passed by the act...
You made me see right past myself
well beyond my fears
Realized I'm synchronized
far beyond my years
I'm so geared into them
I serve unto their souls
Now that I'm addicted
my hunger only grows
I'm a Child of the Damned
I follow where I go
Rigging to the cross
as holy as a whore
I'm just a child of the damned
Witches' coven the time is come
for those sabbatical years
Revelation is the message

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...
Life, I know it so well
It's sorrow and tears and death
An abode of hell
My living hell . . .
Tomorrow I fear my breath
Will forever fail
Life, a moment in time
The years of a man they vanish
Into shades of night
The shades of night . . .
I fear my soul will be banished
To the realm of sighs
And who will descend to show me the light?
And who will remember me in my plight?
The sins of the soul ...
We descend from the belt of Orion
Our life-giving star has come to an end
Civilization is dying
We deem to survive, we search for a land
And we've explored the galaxies
There is just one place we can live and breathe
So we will overthrow the race of man
His way of woe and hate command
We are Invaders from afar, a dying star
Arise and see, the earth in ashes . . .
We sail through the system Sol...
She came to me I thought i found her
the girl of all my dreams
And until then I did not know what
happiness could bring
We laughed we cried side by side
the summers turned to years
But winter came the skies have grayed
from happiness to tears
She said she would never leave me
never let me go
But now she's left with me this feeling
so sad and so alone
She went away I tried to find her
I cried a...

As I laid my head to rest, my grandmother she said.
I have for you a fairy tale of a friend I knew so well.
The story that I tell you, is as close as you can feel.
So close your eyes and go to sleep, I'll make your dreams come real.
There was a boy just like you, a handsome lad he was.
He never played with the other children, he was the only son.
His father and his mother, spoiled him with toy...
My name is Man, from dust I stand,
A newborn song, a story.
Upon this land, Almighty hands,
Hath filled my eyes with glory.
The life I breathe, a Force unseen,
Reveals all that I am . . .
My Name is Man, My Name is Man, My name is Man . . .
Behold the crystal rivers feed the oceans
Celestial sphere of solar fire drinketh from the sea
And the fountains in the sky pour life on every seed.
Behold...
He was once a younger man, just like you and I
But times have changed for this old man, the story makes you cry
Now the nights are getting colder, can you lift a hand
Soon to die, I'm growing older, help me if you can
Just a Penny for a Poor Man
A poor man, yes I am . . .
Just a Penny for a Poor Man
An honest man with a heart of gold, stricken by his luck
All alone, not a single friend, and no...
I feel the pain inside my heart
like a knife it tears me apart
My tears they shed I have no one
God, please tell me what i have done
I have no friends, no one who cares
nobody with love they can share
They laugh at me I don't know why
I lock the door and i cry
I see myself I am a man
just like you and all of your friends
My heart so warm shattered like glass
don't know how much longer I can la...
We are the pen, we are the mind, we are keepers of the light,
We are the fools, we are the free, we are Sons of a Dream.
I dream about a season
I sleep inside a place where I am free - and wandering.
I roam the deepest canyons
I soar the highest skies that I might see - my fantasies.
I am the seed of a vision
I am the one who forsees
I pray the world will remember, some day the world will beli...
[based on John Milton's PARADISE LOST - 1667]
They rise from this fiery region,
On dragon-like wings, by thousands they've come to war.
And dark are the Seraphic Legions,
With armor and shield, they raise their flaming swords.
In the name of the Archangel Lucifer
The Legions hath come, to divide and to conquer
Thy kingdom, Thy power, Thy throne,
The Seraphic legions they goe . . .
The celestia...
It was a darkened day December,
I heard the hammer in the wind
It was a day we will remember,
For the Winds of Thor their story would begin.
For you are the rich man, and we are the poor
You have the power, but the force we have will blow forever more.
Winds of Thor, Winds of Thor . . .
Now you've come to our village,
And you've taken all that we have.
And your king sends his brigades,
To take...
The morning woke, the day was breakin' . . . she left me far behind
She was gone, I couldn't take it . . . no more tears to cry.
We gathered 'round her place of resting, for the last goodbye
She lay in white like a dream unending, the saddened clouds they cried . . .
Tears for all the joy we had
Tears for all the pain
All the years I have to live
These Winter Tears, I'll cry for you until we m...
