Izdali su svoj demo "Enter the Realm" koji je bio dovoljno popularan da bi s njim potpisali svoj debitanski ugovor sa Century Media Records.

Od tada, Iced Earth je promijenio mnogo članova.

Vokalist Matt Barlow se prikljčcio bandu za "Burnt Offerings", baziran na Danteovomovom paklu. Njegov vokal je bio jako popularan i dosta se zadržao u bandu.

Tim "Ripper" Owens je ubrzo napustio Judas Priest (da bi prepustio mjesto stalnom vokalistu Robu Halfordu), te postao novi vokal Iced Eartha.

Njegov prvi album s bendom je "The Glorious Burden", koji se bazira na ratnim događajima i vojnim ličnostima koji su oblikovali moderni svijet. Njegove teme sežu od Deklaracije nezavisnosti, 9/11, pa sve do Napoleona Bonapartea. Na njemu su i tri pjesme kojima su tema bitke u Gettysburgu.

Izdali su i dvostruki DVD. Na prvom DVD-u se nalazi Gettysburg (1863) - metal mix. Potom slijedi Gettysburg (1863) - orkestralni mix, pa Gettysburg (1863) stereo mix, Gettysburg Battlefield tour, "Spirit of´76", foto galerija i kratki prikaz sadržaja tog DVD-a.

Therion

Therion je švedski symphonic metal bend osnovan 1987. u Upplands Väsbyu. Ime duguje grčkoj riječi therion, što znači zvijer. Tekstovi su im inspirirani različitim mitologijama te ispunjeni okultizmom, magijom i drevnom tradicijom i pisanjem.

Biografija

1987. godine Christofer Johnsson osniva bend pod nazivom Blitzkrieg. Nakon kratkog vremena bend mijenja ime najprije u Megatherion, a zatim u Therion (zvijer) i posvećuje se death metalu. Prvobitna postava benda se mijenjala nekoliko puta, a jedino je Christofer ostao član od početka. Tako se pokazao kao najvažniji član benda, na čiju inicijativu je bend i osnovan, a pored toga on je vokal, gitarist, klavijaturist i tekstopisac na svim do sada snimljenim albumima.

1989. godine izdaju 2 demo snimke: Paroxysmal Holocaust i Beyond The Darkest Veils Of Inner Wickedness koji postižu velik uspjeh. Sljedeće izdanje je bio Mini CD Time Shall Tell nakon kojeg potpisuju ugovor za englesku izdavačku kuću Deaf Records. Prvi pravi album snimljen je u Stockholmu u srpnju 1990. godine pod nazivom Of Darkness..., a izdan naredne 1991. godine. Reakcija publike na prvi album je bila veoma dobra, što je potaklo članove benda da još bolje odrade sljedeći album Beyond Sanctorum, ali ovoga puta za izdavačku kuću Active Records. Drugi je album sniman u prosincu 1991. godine u Monezuma studiju i sadržavao je nove elemente - klavijature i ženski vokal, čime se glazba polako prebacuje na black metal. Mnogi fanovi nisu odobravali uvođenje ovakvih elemenata .

Iz osobnih razloga svi članovi osim Christofera okreću se drugim poslovima, tako da je on bio prisiljen pronaći nove članove. Ponovo mijenjaju izdavačku kuću i priključuju se Megarock Recordsu. 1993. godine izdaju Symphony Masses: Ho Drakon Ho Megas. U to doba bend je imao samo tri člana, no ipak kreću na svjetsku turneju. Njihova prva 3 albuma su svrstana u death žanr zbog samih elemenata koje koriste, no na posljednja dva albuma ipak se osjeća značajan utjecaj black metala, a na posljednjem i gothic metala.

Ni izdavačka kuća Megarock Records nije zadovoljila potrebe Theriona, pa napokon potpisuju s moćnom i poznatom njemačkom izdavačkom kućom Nuclear Blast Records. Prvi album u izdanju ove kuće je Lepaca Kliffoth, sniman u Berlinu, a izdan 1995. godine. Therionov put k vrhu gothic i uopće metal scene počeo je albumom Theli iz 1996. godine. Na ovom albumu su prvi put kombinirali elemente klasike i metala i to vrlo uspješno. Na albumu svirali su solisti s mnogobrojnim klasičnim instrumentima kao i veliki zborovi, što je stvorilo specijalnu dimenziju gothic zvuka grupe Therion. Kako su godine prolazile Christofer i njegovi suradnici zvuk su sve više bazirali na klasičnim elementima, ali bez gubitka korijena.

1997. godine snimaju soundtrack za film The Golden Embrace s Barmek Symphony orkestrom i zborom Sjevernonjemačkog radija, s kojim su već surađivali na albumu Theli. Kompozicije korištene u filmu se nalaze na albumu A´arab Zaraq Lucid Dreaming. Prodaja ovog albuma je išla veoma dobro, te 1997. godine Therion sudjeluje na mnogim festivalima po Europi (Ten Years Nuclear Blast, Out of the Dark IV i Dynamo Metal fest). Album Vovin obilježio je 1998. godinu, a na albumu je jedan od ženskih vokala bila Lorentz Aspen iz benda Theatre of Tragedy. Zamjenila je dotadašnju pjevačicu Sarah Jezebel Deva, koja se odličnim glasom izdvajala iz ženskog zbora. Iz tog je razloga Sarah pjevala i u duetu, a i kao solo i sopran. Sarah je poznata kao svjetski vokal koji je doprinosio boljem zvuku bendova Covenant i Cradle of Filth.

Album Vovin se opisuje kao vrlo melodičan album s elementima opere, a takav album su mnogi dugo očekivali. Od tada kreću sve bolji i bolji albumi. 1999. godine izdaju Crowning of Atlantis, a albumom Deggial iz 2000. godine Therion postiže najveći uspjeh do tada. Pozicija na kojoj su se nalazili u mnogim zemljama (Njemačka, Finska, Poljska) potvrdila je njihov moćan status na svjetskoj metal sceni. Deggial ubrzo postaje najbolje izdanje s najboljom produkcijom na kojoj su bili prisutni mnogi različiti instrumenti i zborovi koji su postajali sve jači i jasniji.

2001. godine na scenu stupa njihov sljedeći, album Secret of the Runes. Koncept albuma je veoma složen i govori o Vikinzima i njihovoj mitologiji. U njihovoj mitologiji postoji sveto drvo zvano Yggrasil koje sadrži 9 manjih svjetova o kojima i govori album. Svaka pjesma govori o jednom svijetu i svaku pjesmu prati uvodna priča (samo u tekstovima) koja približava tematiku slušatelju. Na albumu se također nalaze i dvije obrade, (ABBA i Scoprions). Na svakom novom albumu još od samog početka karijere ovog benda, mogu se uočiti novi elementi, čisti vokal, zatim arapska folk muzika, klasični i industrial elementi i mnogi drugi. Ubrzo je uslijedila svjetska turneja te je Therion izdao live izdanje Live in Midgĺrd. Nakon turneje prionuli su na posao na kojem je sudjelovao čak 171 glazbenik i rezultat toga bila su dva albuma – Sirius B i Lemuria koji su pušteni u prodaju zajedno 2004.

Lyrics

Defender

When you are old enough to read these words
Their meaning will unfold
These words are all that's left
And though we've never met, my only sun
I hope you know
That I would have been there to watch you grow
But my call was heard and I did go
Now your mission lies ahead of you
As it did my so long ago
To help the helpless ones who all look up to you
And to defend them to the end

Defender

Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
God has sent

Father,father,father
I look up to you and heed thy call

This letter ends my search
I'll live your dream now passed on to me
And I now wait to shake the hand of fate
Like the dusk awaiting dawn
So wizards cast your spell
With no heart to do me well
So it is written, it shall be

Defender

Ride like the wind
Fight proud, my son
You're the defender
God has sent


United

Look around
They're moving in
Hold your ground
When they begin

We can do it
We can do it and if they wanna they can try
But they'll never get near
Then they can get out of here

Gonna keep on driving
Never stop

United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all

So keep it up
Don't give in
Make a stand
We're gonna win

We can do it
We can do it and if they wanna they can try
But they'll never get near
Then they can get out of here

Gonna keep on driving
Never stop

United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all

So keep it up

United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all

United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all

United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all

Childhood's End

I'd sail across the ocean
I'd walk a hundred miles
If I could make it to the end
Oh just to see a smile

You see it in their faces
The saddness in their tears
The despereation and the anger
Madness and the fear

[Chorus:]
No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, just greed is here

Starvation and the hunger
The suffering and the pain
The agonies of all-out war
When will it come again ?

The struggle for the power
A tyrant tries again
Just what the hell is going on ?
When will it ever end ?

[Chorus:]

You see the full moon float
You watch the red sun rise
We take these things for granted
But somewhere someone's dying

Contaminated waters
Pollution and decay
Just waiting for disease to strike
Oh will we learn someday ?

No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, no seed, childhoods end.


Fear Of The Dark

I am a man who walks alone
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park

When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark.

Fear of the dark,fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark,fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there

Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light ?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's watching you.

Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no-one's there ?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's someone there

Watching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklore
The unknown troubles on your mind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense,and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind.

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there.

When I'm walking a dark road
I am a man who walks alone


Flight Of Icarus

As the sun breaks, above the ground,
An old man stands on the hill.
As the ground warms, to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still.

His eyes are ablaze,
See the madman in his gaze.

Fly on your way, like an eagle,
Fly as high as the sun,
On your way, like an eagle,
Fly and touch the sun.

Now the crowd breaks and young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I fly.

His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream.
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave

Fly, on your way, like an eagle,
Fly as high as the sun,
On your way, like an eagle,
Fly as high as the sun.


The Trooper

You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand there's no turning back.

The Bugle sounds and the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
As I plunge on into certain death.

The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race towards the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall.

We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so near yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day.

We get so close near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sights
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds take my horse below.

And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan.


2 Minutes To Midnight

Kill for gain or shoot to maim
But we don't need a reason
To Golden Goose is on the loose
And never out of season
Some blackened pride still burns inside
This shell of bloody treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
But don't you pray for my soul anymore.

2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that treaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.

The blind men shout "Let the creatures out
We'll show the unbeliverers."
The napalm screams of human flames
Of a prime time Belsen feast ... yeah!
As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy
We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies.

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
But don't you pray for my soul anymore.

2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that treaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.

The body bags and little rags of children torn in two
And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you
As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song
To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun.

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
But don't you pray for my soul anymore.

2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that treaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.

Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night

Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night


Powerslave

Into the Abyss I'll fall - the eye of Horus
Into the eyes of the night - watching me go
Green is the cat's eye that glows -
in the Temple
Enter the risen Osiris - risen again.

[Chorus:]
Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don't wanna die, I'm a God,
why can't I live on?
When the Life Giver dies,
all around is laid waste,
And in my last hour,
I'm a Slave to the Power of Death.

When I was living this lie - Fear was my Game
People would worship and fall -
drop to their knees.
So bring me the blood and
red wine for the one to succeed me,
For he is a man and a God -
and He will die too.

[Chorus:]

Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins,
Silent the terror that reigned -
marbled in stone
Shell of man God preserved -
a thousand ages,
But open the gates of my hell -
I will strike from the grave

[Chorus:]
Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don't wanna die, I'm a God,
why can't I live on?
When the Life Giver dies,
all around is laid waste,
And in my last hour,
I'm a Slave to the Power of Death.
Slave to the Power of Death...
Slave to the Power of Death...


Electric Eye

Up here in space
I'm looking down on you
My lasers trace
Everything you do

You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time

I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye

Always in focus
You can't feel my stare
I zoom into you
You don't know I'm there

I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove

I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye

Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
There's nothing you can do about it
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows

I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye

Protected. Detective. Electric eye


Metal Gods

We've taken too much for granted
And all the time it had grown
From techno seeds we first planted
Evolved a mind of its own

Marching in the streets
Dragging iron feet
Laser beaming hearts
Ripping men apart

From off I've seen my perfection
Where we could do as we please
In secrecy this infection
Was spreading like a disease

Hiding underground
Knowing we'd be found
Fearing for our lives
Reaped by robot's scythes

Metal Gods
Metal Gods

Metal Gods
Metal Gods

Machines are taking all over
With mankind in their command
In time they'd like to discover
How they can make their demand

Better be the slaves
To their wicked ways
But meeting with our death
Engulfed in molten breath


The Ripper

You're in for surprise
You're in for a shock
In London town streets
When there's darkness and fog
When you least expect me
And you turn your back
I'll attack

I smile when I'm sneaking
Through shadows by the wall
I laugh when I'm creeping
But you won't hear me at all

All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper

You'll soon shake with fear
Never knowing if I'm near
I'm sly and I'm shameless
Nocturnal and nameless
Except for "The Ripper"
Or if you like "Jack The Knife"

Any back alley street
Is where we'll probably meet
Underneath a gas lamp
Where the air's cold and damp
I'm a nasty surprise
I'm a devil in disguise
I'm a footstep at night
I'm a scream of the fright

All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper...the ripper....the ripper


Breaking The Law

There I was completely wasting, out of work and down
all inside it's so frustrating as I drift from town to town
feel as though nobody cares if I live or die
so I might as well begin to put some action in my life

Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law

So much for the golden future, I can't even start
I've had every promise broken, there's anger in my heart
you don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue
if you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too

Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law

You don't know what it's like

Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law

Breaking the law


Am I Evil?

[Original: Diamond Head]

My mother was a witch, she was burned alive.
Thankless little bitch, for the tears I cried.
Take her down now, don't want to see her face
All blistered and burnt, can't hide my disgrace.

Twenty-seven, everyone was nice.
Gotta see 'em make 'em pay the price.
See their bodies out on the ice.
Take my time.

Am I evil? Yes I am.
Am I evil? I am man, yes I am.

As I watched my mother die, I lost my head.
Revenge now I sought, to break with my bread.
Taking no chances, you come with me.
I'll split you to the bone, help set you free.

Twenty-seven, everyone was nice.
Gotta see 'em make 'em pay the price.
See their bodies out on the ice.
Take my time.

Am I evil? Yes I am.
Am I evil? I am man, yes I am.

On with the action now, I'll strip your pride.
I'll spread your blood around, I'll see you ride.
Your face is scarred with steel, wounds deep and neat.
Like a double dozen before ya, smells so sweet.

Am I evil? Yes I am.
Am I evil? I am man.

I'll make my residence, I'll watch your fire.
You can come with me, sweet desire.
My face is long forgot, my face not my own.
Sweet and timely whore, take me home.

Am I evil? Yes I am.
Am I evil? I am man.

My soul is longing for, await my heir.
Sent to avenge my mother, sweep myself.
My face is long forgot, my face not my own.
Sweet and timely whore, take me home.

Am I evil? Yes I am.
Am I evil? I am man.

Am I evil? Yes I fucking am.
Am I evil? I am man, yeah.


Nothing Else Matters

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No nothing else matters


Metal Heart

It is 1999
The human race has to face it
They are confronted with the truth
It's secret--mysterious

A surgeon said it in the news
The human race is dying
But the result is no disease
Searching for you

Metal heart--metal heart
They found it everywhere
Metal heart--metal heart
Lifeless piece of steel

The scaring fact was even told
Total confusion
They found the same nightmare
Heartbeats--time bombs

Metal heart--metal heart
Unplugged they're dying
Metal heart--metal heart
Unplugged they die

Metal heart--metal heart
They found it everywhere
Metal heart--metal heart
Lifeless piece of steel

Metal heart--metal heart
Unplugged they're dying
Metal heart--metal heart


Vredesbyrd

Reis deg opp
La oss bestride
Den tanke fra vĺr lend

Og dyrk
Pĺ en forbannet jord
En smertens ćtt

For sĺ og tynge
De barmhjertiges skjřd
Som har tiltro til
Den sjelloses brřd

For den tro du besitter
Er intet annet enn avsmak og hovmod
Og din nřden etter viten
Er en overflod av hĺn og skjend

Smerten i mitt hjerte er ikke třrste
Etter himmelsk legeme

Ei er det sviktende sřken etter englemakt
Det er ilden og den brenner
Det er bare det at du
Skjemmer for den

Ta del i skyldens skygge
Behag din sjel med syndens under
For hvor er vel du
Nĺr lampen slukkes

Men dřden kommer ei
Med vĺrt bud
Gjenklang fra den prektiges arv
Vil innfri det endelige forderv

[repeat 1st, 2nd and 4rd verse]

Bring dom over andre en ditt eget hode
Der du gjemmer din skam i lovsang
Sĺ skal du fĺ smake frukten
Av din egen bortgang

Som en flokk av helveds opphav
Og forvaltere av foraktens sřnn
Parerer vi deres list med avskyens prakt
Med beviset pĺ vĺr tunge byrde
Ligger deres sinn i ĺndenřd
Skamfert tilbake uten makt

[repeat 1st, 2nd and 3rd verse]

[Wrath Birth]

Rise it up
Let us oppose
The thought from our land

And cultivate
In a cursed ground
A sorrowful lineage

For so and weigh down
They bottom-hearted careless
Who have confidence 'til
That soul bread

For that belief you possess
Is nothing else than disgust and pride
And your need after knowledge
Is an overflood of scorn and deascration

Grief to my heart is not thirst
After heavenly body

Not is that failing search after angel might
It is fiery and that burning
It is merely that what you
Dishounor for that

Take part in the possesing shadow
Delight your soul with sinners under
From where are surely you
When lamp put out

But dead appaear not
With our bidding
Throughly sound from that splendid inheritance
Want it endly ruin

[repeat 1st, 2nd and 4rd verse]

Bring doom over others about your own head
There you conceal your shame in praise song
So shall you have tasted fruits
Of your own decease

As a flock of hellish origin
And administrator of despicable son
We match your disgusting splendour
With demonstration of our heavy birth
Lie your mind in absence of breath
Shamefare backwards without might

[repeat 1st, 2nd and 3rd verse]


Demonizer

Born of the sun
Crashed to the earth
Tormented reviled
Engorged hate from birth

Hellions the steed
Bloods on the wing
Claws set to slice
Vengeance he'll bring

Cremating the land
In seek and destroy
Apocalypse slays
Napalm he'll deploy

The beast of a god
Regalled of his race
Prepared to onslaught
And bare face to face

Across the divide
The thresholds in flames
The painkiller rises again

The scream of the demon
There's evil about
They've come to possess us
Out demons out!

Blade of the wheel
Cuts deep in the bone
It's gideons quest
To take satan's throne

The critical mass
And power that they wield
Exterminate all when vermin rebel

A maelstrom begins
To disintergrate
And pulverise all in its' wake

The scream of the demon
There's evil about
They've come to possess us
Out demons out


The Sentinel


Along deserted avenues
Steam begins to rise
The figures primed and ready
Prepared for quick surprise
He's watchin' for a sign
His life is on the line

Sworn to avenge
Condemn to hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the Sentinel

Dogs whine in the alleys
Smoke is on the wind
From deep inside its empty shell
A cathedral bell begins
Sending out its toll
A storm begins to grow

Sworn to avenge
Condemn to hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the Sentinel

Amidst the upturned burned-out cars
The challengers await
And in their fists clutch iron bars
With which to seal his fate
Across his chest is scabbards rest
The rows of throwing knives
Whose razor points in challenged tests
Have finished many lives

Now facing one another
The stand-off eats at time
Then all at once a silence falls
As the bell ceases its chime
Upon this sign the challengers
With shrieks and cries rush forth
The knives fly out like bullets
Upon their deadly course
Screams of pain and agony
Rent the silent air
Amidst the dying bodies
Blood runs everywhere
The figure stands expressionless
Impassive and alone
Unmoved by this victory
And the seeds of death he's sown

Sworn to avenge
Condemn to hell
Tempt not the blade
All fear the Sentinel


Blood Red Skies

[Tipton/Halford/Downing]

As the sun goes down, I move around
Keeping to the shadows
Life, hangs by a thread
And I've heard it said, that I'll not see tomorrow

If that's my destiny, it'll have to be
So I'll face the future
Running out of time
I'm on the line
But I'll go down fighting

Felt the hand of justice
Telling wrong from right
Threw me out upon the street in the middle of the night

Cybernetic heartbeat
Digital precise
Pneumatic fingers nearly had me in their vice

Not begging you
I'm telling you

You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me,
Under blood red skies

You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under
blood red skies

Through a shattered city, watched by laser eyes
Overhead the night squad glides
The decaying paradise

Automatic sniper
With computer sights
Scans the bleak horizon for its victim of the night

They're closing in
They'll never win

You won't break me
You won't take me
You won't make me,
Under blood red skies

You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under
blood red skies

As the end is drawing near
Standing proud, I won't give in to fear
As I die a legend will be born
I will stand, I will fight
You'll never take me alive
I'll stand my ground
I won't go down

You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me,
Under blood red skies

You won't break me
You won't take me
just I'll face you under
blood red skies

You'll never take me alive
I'm telling you
Hands of justice
I will stand, I will fight
Never surrender
As the sun goes down
I won't give in to fear


Grinder

[Halford/Tipton/Downing]

Never straight and narrow
I won't keep in time
Tend to burn the arrow
Out of the line

Been inclined to wander
Off the beaten track
That's where there's thunder
And the wind shouts back

Grinder
Looking for meat
Grinder
Wants you to eat

Got no use for routine
I shiver at the thought
Open skies are my scene
That's why I won't get caught

Refuse to bite the mantrap
Be led to set the snare
I love to have my sight
Capped everywhere

Grinder
Looking for meat
Grinder
Wants you to eat

[solo Glenn]

I've held my licence
It came with birth,
For self reliance on this earth
You take the bullet
On which my name
Was etched upon in your game

Day of independence
Stamped us like a brand
Round the necks of millions
To the land

As the mighty eagle
I need room to breathe
Witness from the treadmill
I take my leave

Grinder
Looking for meat
Grinder
Wants you to eat

Grinder
Looking for meat
Grinder
Wants you to eat

Tyrant

[Tipton - Halford]

Behold 'tis I the commander
Whose grip controls you all
Resist me not, surrender
I'll no compassion call

(Tyrant) Capture of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall

Your very lives are held within my fingers
I snap them and you cower down in fear
You spineless things who belly down to slither
To the end of the world you follow to be near

(Tyrant) Capture of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall

Mourn for us oppressed in fear
Chained and shackled we are bound
Freedom choked in dread we live
Since Tyrant was enthroned

I listen not to sympathy
Whilst ruler of this land
Withdraw your feeble aches and moans
Or suffer smite from this my hand

(Tyrant) Capture of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall

Mourn for us oppressed in fear
Chained and shackled we are bound
Freedom choked in dread we live
Since Tyrant was enthroned

My legions faithful unto death
I'll summon to my court
And as you perish each of you
Shall scream as you are sought

(Tyrant) Capture of humanity
(Tyrant) Conqueror of all
(Tyrant) Hideous destructor
(Tyrant) Every man shall fall
