Satan's Coming Home 05:21
lyrics
buy track
Dancing with the demons Convictions of treason Living life in the fast lane A one way ticket on the night train Evil takes the power Taste her plagued lips so sour Living on borrowed time Snorting the fat party line Running with the devil Rock & roll rebel Dirty deeds for your fix Keep up the magic tricks Everybody's on the run 'Cos Johnny's got a gun Homicidal maniac and ready to attack Take me to the city of lust Whiskey clenches the thirst Embrace the lady of the night I won't give in without a fight Let's go shooting down and take over this town Wearing dead animal fur My name is lucifer He's coming home, he's coming home He's coming, Satan's coming home Yeah, rats Come on babe and bite my wire Tell me your darkest desire Throw your heart in the fire The darkness will inspire On a game of pillage Stealing from your sleeping village Give your soul to me, I'll set you free He's coming home, he's coming home He's coming, Satan's coming home He's coming home, he's coming home He's coming, Satan's coming home That's right

There's a maniac banging at my door I don't know what to do, I'm hiding on the floor He's got a big axe, he's chopping down my door Maniac at my door I don't know what to do now There's a maniac at my door I don't know what to do So I thought I'd better call you There's a maniac banging at my door I'm hiding under the bed, he wants to chop off my head I don't know what to do I might as well call you Maniac at my door I don't know what to do now There's a maniac at my door A maniac, a mani-mani-maniac There's a manic banging at my door He says he's gonna kill me Then he's coming after you Maniac at my door I don't know what to do now There's a maniac at my door I don't know what to do So I thought I'd better call you There's a maniac banging at my door I'm gonna get wasted Roaster butter basted Maniac at my door I don't know what to do now There's a maniac at my door A maniac, a mani-mani-maniac

Epiphany 04:17
lyrics
buy track
Just another day Will I ever find my way through this? With this heart of clay I don't want to fall into the abyss I know it's just a feeling That has stopped me believing Just gotta keep on dreaming Though inside my soul is screaming I need an epiphany To come and rescue me I need an epiphany To come and rescue Blow me away I never ever really wanted this Come out to play And embrace this everlasting sentimental kiss Get me out of this prison cell 'Cos I've been living in hell It's like a hex from your wicked spell Your evil lies have a lot to tell I need an epiphany To come and rescue me I need an epiphany To come and set me free Awaken me Set me free Rescue me Set me free I need an epiphany To come and rescue me I need an epiphany To come and set me free Awaken me Set me free

Born To Die 03:59
lyrics
buy track
So you say what you want but you can't forgive Your dignity remains unbroken The fortune you possess just cheapens yourself Acting like a vulture with the victim The prodigals create the poverty There's too much greed in this society This life is a rollercoaster ride The devil's eyes reflect on you, oh honey This life is only born to die Oh yeah, it's only born to die Oh yeah, oh right There's too much pollution for us to breath It makes us suffocate The darkness that surrounds is what we fear You can hear the screams out on the streets No more yesterday is what we face Arise this tainted future that you create This life is a rollercoaster ride The politicians lied, oh honey This life is only born to die Oh yeah, it's only born to die Oh yeah, oh right Gimme that, gimme that guitar The news is out today The witnesses gather in despair Another multi-storey suicide The people don't wanna stay alive in a rut In a rut, duh, duh duh duh This life is a rollercoaster ride The devil's eyes reflect on you, oh honey This life is only born to die Oh yeah, it's only born to die Oh yeah, it's only born to die

Pandemic 05:14
lyrics

The world's in hibernation Its just self isolation The government have grounded us There's nobody on the bus There is nowhere open in town Everywhere is closing down We are forced on lockdown I don't wanna feel down I don't wanna feel down I don't wanna feel down We wanna turn, turn and run The bridges burn There's no way out, it lingers on This is not our swan song It's not the end, we'll meet again my friend We're just delayed We are one, the show will go on This is not our swan song Everybody's gotta stay at home Oh, how we feel so alone Photographic nostalgia I've gotta live without ya Please don't fall into despair It feels we're going nowhere It's all just transitory A never ending story A never ending story A never ending story We wanna turn, turn and run The bridges burn There's no way out, it lingers on This is not our swan song Please don't cry, just pray that we don't die Don't get so high We are one, the show will go on This is not our swan song The world has gone mad Everybody's feeling sad I wanna fly to mars Escape this pandemic of ours We wanna turn, turn and run The bridges burn There's no way out, it lingers on This is not our swan song It's not the end, we'll meet again my friend We're just delayed We are one, the show will go on This is not our swan song Our swan song

Don't cast your spell on me Don't cast your spell on me (Don't cast your spell baby) Cast your spell on me Such a catastrophe Play your wicked game Then tell me who's to blame Cry out in the night Send the hounds to bite Witchcraft woman Witchcraft woman Drinking down my wages I've gotta return the pages Feed me with your lust You tell me I'm the first Infuriate my mind Girl you're so unkind Witchcraft woman Witchcraft woman Let's go She'll be knocking down the door I'm petrified, I'm hiding on the floor Get me out of here I've got to leave this place I'll take a rocket ship to out of space I've fallen down the valley of lies Twisted up my head Taken me to bed One day you will see Your own misery Witchcraft woman Witchcraft woman I've got a witchcraft woman Witchcraft woman I've had enough, baby Don't cast your spell on me

Hopeless War 04:19
lyrics
buy track
So many people on the ground So many people They can hear the warning sound Hurry to the steeple And as you wait in fear The battle cries are drawing near What are we fighting for? Just another hopeless war Rivers full of running red Rivers full of floating dead The guns of war will fire tomorrow And fill our hearts with woe and sorrow What are we fighting for? Just another hopeless war Jets are in the sky Gotta hide or we're gonna die Bombs falling all around No safe haven to be found No one's spared from the cities and towns What are we fighting for? Just another hopeless war

The Lost Boys 03:16

The lost boys, they rise in the star shine In the alleyway drinking down blood red wine Nonconforming personas in their alter-egos A generation fuelled with such rock & roll Tonight, they come out to play The people have a message to say The lost boys, the lost boys Are back street kids tonight The lost boys, the lost boys Won't give in without a fight The lost boys, the lost boys Are never gonna sleep tonight Lock up your daughter, oh right yeah These vampires will play a game with you And you'll suffer like an animal in the zoo Feasting on the insects, messing up your mind Hanging off the bridge, your blood is in the fridge Tonight, you must obey They have another gruesome game to play The lost boys, the lost boys Are back street kids tonight The lost boys, the lost boys Won't give in without a fight The lost boys, the lost boys Are never gonna sleep tonight Lock up your daughter tonight, oh yeah The lost boys, the lost boys Are back street kids tonight The lost boys, the lost boys Won't give in without a fight The lost boys, the lost boys Better lock up your daughters and wives The lost boys, the lost boys Are never gonna sleep tonight Are never gonna sleep tonight Are never gonna sleep tonight Are never gonna sleep tonight Hahahaha, bite me baby

Bunny Boiler 04:42
lyrics

Your attitude is disgraceful It's completely unfaithful You lie and say I'm a women beater At least I'm not a fucking cheater You have a new penis to play with But I have a new drum kit Causing false accusations Chasing perverse sensations Divisive towards my friends It's you who's gonna rot in the end Playing with your manipulation With your bitching discrimination Bunny, bunny boiler You're such a spoiler Bunny, bunny boiler Better watch out for her Bunny, bunny boiler She is so absurd Bunny, bunny boiler Get away from her We parted a week ago There's already a guy you'll give a blow He's in your dirty little bed You fucked up psychotic cokehead Gaslighting all the time Chasing the next Columbian line Turning people against me Trying to make my life a catastrophe Bunny, bunny boiler You're such a spoiler Bunny, bunny boiler Better watch out for her Bunny, bunny boiler She is so absurd Bunny, bunny boiler Get away from her Get away, from this psycho fucking bitch Get away, from this psycho fucking bitch Baby suck on his lemon You're just poisonous venom I wasted so much time with you There's no time to feel blue She's a witch and a bitch  She's a witch and a bitch She's a witch and a bitch Just a dirty little fucking bitch She's a witch and a bitch She's a witch and a bitch She's a witch and a bitch Better burn the motherfucking witch

With a Sword 04:53
lyrics

On the night of the most unholiest hour The moon was red as the bloodiest flower The wind was cold on that night I feel a chill down my spine I think I want you to be mine He shall rise once again To perch us of our sins and our souls Jesus strikes, Jesus strikes back With a sword You're damned if you do And you're damned if you don't Pray for absolution 'Cos he's coming for you Jesus strikes, Jesus strikes back With a word, a word I say People consume and just take We won't get through this You think you're alive But I'm telling you you're dead Jesus strikes, Jesus strikes back With a sword Tonight, he will return The hell's fires wont burn You'll wait your turn For tonight, he will return On the night of the most unholiest hour The moon was red as the bloodiest flower The wind was cold on that night I feel a chill down my spine I think I want you to be mine He shall rise once again To perch us of our sins and our souls Jesus strikes, Jesus strikes back With a sword Jesus strikes, Jesus strikes back With a word, a word I say

Extinction of Existence 04:15
lyrics
buy track
At first it was recreational But compulsion has shown it's weakness Once so strong, but anxiety wins No cleanses for proclivities of your sins A misinterpretation in communication Dying roses on the bed, disintegrating generation There is no love in a pillaged damnation The destroyer of beautiful creation Misanthropic moods of your misery Insomnia is not unknown to me Tell me how far would you walk the distance? You are an extinction of existence A misinterpretation in communication Dying roses on the bed, disintegrating generation There is no love in a pillaged damnation The destroyer of beautiful creation And all that's left is dereliction A factory for the rejects, from a tale of fiction Hedonism is the vice for this generation We're burning out the candles of sensation

Slut 02:40

Don't wanna be living in the gutter When you're a slut-a! Disobedience is what I choose Whether or not we win or lose Go and get high if you've got the blues My intelligence hasn't lost it's fuse You've gotta fight for your freedom In this corporate society Live by your morals However you choose Paint the things you wanna see Evolve don't conform to misery I don't believe in democracy Look inside the beauty of philosophy You've gotta fight for your freedom In this corporate society Live by your morals However you choose But I'll never be a slut I'll never be a slut I'll never be a slut to the masses Oi oi! Hahahaha My intelligence says a lot You've gotta fight for your freedom In this corporate society Live by your morals However you choose But I'll never be a slut-a You're just living in the gutter You've gotta spread your fucking butter When you're a slut I'll never be a slut I'll never be a slut I'll never be a slut to the masses

War Zone 03:41
lyrics
buy track
Oi! Taken to the war zone We must fight the battle Captured peers for loan Lived out through from death row Taken to the war zone We must fight the battle Leaders demand dollars for decadence Load up the squadrons and send off the troops Believe that you hold the moral high ground Although you're just a vulture washed up in sin False witnesses from political party Journalists know the secret Taken to the war zone We must fight the battle Captured peers for loan Lived out through from death row Taken to the war zone We must fight the battle Confidential to the weak, may it be unknown Load up the tanks and march to the air raid Manufactured rebellions to fund the bills Join them, fuck them, love them, be mesmerised Bombs dropped in the bedroom Quick death rise painless compared to crucifixion Taken to the war zone We must fight the battle Captured peers for loan Lived out through from death row Taken to the war zone We must fight the battle Fight the battle Don't step outside, don't step outside Unless you feel the freedom of suicide Don't step outside, don't step outside There's nowhere on the street, where you can hide Don't step outside, don't step outside Unless you feel the freedom of suicide For suicide Taken to the war zone We must fight the battle Captured peers for loan Lived out through from death row Taken to the war zone We must fight the battle

The Aftermath 05:36
lyrics
buy track
This life is a rollercoaster Not a day goes by, I don't think of her It's breaking the algorithms of my heart This journey needs a new kickstart Devouring our empire Losing the chance to ignite our fire We are pushing the button of self destruction So where are we going now? I need a god to show me how Though the demons are in our way Just pray to live for another day I'm stuck to your fixation The destroyer of creation Clinging to this dark embrace Another lost boy in the rat race Devouring our empire Losing the chance to ignite our fire We are pushing the button of self destruction So where are we going now? I need a god to show me how Though the demons are in our way Just pray to live for another day Don't walk the path Of the aftermath Don't walk the path Of the aftermath So where are we going now? I need a god to show me how So where are we going now? I need a god to show me how Though the demons are in our way Just pray to live for another day Don't walk the path Of the aftermath Don't walk the path Of the aftermath
