Lyrics (Skolnick,Billy,Peterson)
|
|
|
|
A world of chaos
|
|
A world of fear
|
|
A world of anger and corruption
|
|
When all is lost
|
|
And millions starve
|
|
Is this humanity's destruction?
|
|
|
|
Life! A game that people play
|
|
Cryout! Will they see another day?
|
|
|
|
No one to help us,
|
|
The children pray
|
|
Nobody listens to their crying
|
|
This great depression
|
|
When will it end?
|
|
To live like this is worse than dying
|
|
|
|
Life! A game that people play
|
|
Cryout! Will they see another day?
|
|
|
|
Your destiny is over
|
|
Your fate has declined
|
|
Refuse to discover
|
|
What so many could find
|
|
Death's endless toil
|
|
As I long for rest
|
|
Life's now forsaken
|
|
Condemned to repress!
|
|
|
|
No sign of Heaven
|
|
No sign of Hell
|
|
Just the sign of pain and sorrow
|
|
This generation inhabits all
|
|
To form an order for tomorrow
|
|
|
|
Life! A game that people play
|
|
Cryout! Will we see another day?
|

lyrics(Skolnick,Peterson)
|
|
|
|
Takers of humanity, elders paranoid
|
|
The time is now
|
|
Give up this world you once destroyed
|
|
Society versus the underground
|
|
Their battles fought and lost
|
|
The time has come
|
|
To rule the world at any cost
|
|
|
|
For the past it's too late
|
|
Cause the world can't control fate
|
|
Shadows cast loud and clear
|
|
Tell the world the new order's here
|
|
|
|
Cities turn to battlefields
|
|
A deadly spell is cast
|
|
Corpses falling one by one
|
|
Until the last
|
|
The preacher speaks of prophecy
|
|
So many years before
|
|
No one escapes their punishment
|
|
The gods of war
|
|
|
|
For the past it's too late
|
|
Cause the world can't control fate
|
|
Shadows cast loud and clear
|
|
Tell the world the new order's here
|
|
|
|
Death like an empty space
|
|
Feel no thoughts of fear
|
|
The future cries
|
|
As mother nature sheds a tear
|
|
The world becomes a prisoner
|
|
A victim of its crime
|
|
The human race is now a race
|
|
Against time
|
|
|
|
For the past it's too late
|
|
Cause the world can't control fate
|
|
Shadows cast loud and clear
|
|
Tell the world the new order's here
|

--Trial By Fire

Music(Peterson,Skolnick)

|
Lyrics(Billy,Skolnick,Peterson)
|
|
|
|
Accuse you of a crime
|
|
Sentenced to endless time
|
|
The price you have to pay
|
|
Won't get away!
|
|
Sworn in by the stand
|
|
Your rights are gone
|
|
The system's banned
|
|
They think you are a liar
|
|
A trial by fire
|
|
|
|
Hey!
|
|
This is what the people say,
|
|
A new way
|
|
A trial by fire
|
|
|
|
Locked in an empty cell
|
|
Your life becomes a living hell
|
|
The river of fire flows
|
|
Time only knows!
|
|
Trapped by flames of fury
|
|
Ordered unto by the jury
|
|
Death is their desire
|
|
Thrown in the fire!
|
|
|
|
Hey!
|
|
This is what the people say,
|
|
A new way
|
|
A trial by fire!
|
|
|
|
Quiver by the fiery light
|
|
Cringing as your soul ignites
|
|
The book of law's been thrown away
|
|
Starting today!
|
|
|
|
The system before the war
|
|
Is gone for now and evermore
|
|
There is no sentence higher
|
|
A trial by fire!
|
|
|
|
Hey!
|
|
This is what the people say,
|
|
A new way
|
|
A trial by fire!

--Into The Pit
|
|
Music(Skolnick,Peterson)
|
|
Lyrics(Billy,Skolnick,Peterson)
|
|
|
|
Deep in the pit and lying alone
|
|
Where death has reared itself a throne
|
|
We're all the good, the bad
|
|
The worst and the best
|
|
And where they land is their eternal rest
|
|
|
|
Foul plays of passion
|
|
At twilight's dim
|
|
In joy of woe, of good and sin
|
|
Winds of storm and fates overcast
|
|
Darkly my presence
|
|
Is now your past
|
|
|
|
Join the insanity
|
|
Or die as you fall
|
|
Into the pit!
|
|
The mass production
|
|
And the killing of all
|
|
Into the pit!
|
|
The future screams for help
|
|
Are fading away
|
|
Into the pit!
|
|
The world tomorrow
|
|
Will it die for today?
|
|
Into the pit!
|
|
|
|
So in the sad, silent watches of night
|
|
The lonely pathway envisions my sight
|
|
Echoes of laughter
|
|
And boundless cries
|
|
So here I wander under infinite skies
|
|
|
|
Join the insanity
|
|
Or die as you fall
|
|
Into the pit!
|
|
The mass production
|
|
And the killing of all
|
|
Into the pit!
|
|
The future screams for help
|
|
Are fading away
|
|
Into the Pit!
|
|
The world tomorrow
|
|
Will it die for today?
|
|
Into the pit!

Music(Skolnick,Peterson)
|
|
Lyrics(Billy)
|
|
|
|
Cast to the fire
|
|
Banned by the light
|
|
Worship and listen to me
|
|
Condemned in his mind
|
|
In his evil place
|
|
Your fate is all that you'll see
|
|
I am the one
|
|
To show you the path
|
|
Salvation is in the fields
|
|
Listen up children and follow me
|
|
Or I'll let you pay the price
|
|
Of Malachi!
|
|
|
|
Disciples of the watch
|
|
OBEY!
|
|
Or I'll burn you to that cross!
|
|
|
|
Holding the mass
|
|
The demon is cast
|
|
To resurrect your soul
|
|
Calling to him
|
|
Is like an evil sin
|
|
A prophet is what they're told
|
|
Taking the land under command
|
|
Killing friend or fore
|
|
Feel the might of his evil wrath
|
|
Desecrate your soul!
|
|
|
|
Disciples of the watch
|
|
OBEY!
|
|
Or I'll burn you to that cross!
|
|
|
|
Cast to the fire
|
|
Banned by the light
|
|
Worship and listen to me
|
|
Condemned in his mind
|
|
In his evil place
|
|
Your fate is all that you'll see
|
|
For I am the one
|
|
To show you the path
|
|
Salvation is in the fields
|
|
Listen up children and follow me
|
|
Or I'll let you pay the price
|
|
Of Malachi!
|
|
|
|
Disciples of the watch
|
|
OBEY!
|
|
Or I'll burn you to that cross!

--The Preacher
|
|
Music(Skolnick,Peterson)
|
|
Lyrics(Billy,Skolnick)
|
|
|
|
In days of old
|
|
When the books were untold
|
|
Speak of a world crushed by sin.
|
|
"The people will mourn
|
|
Of a war to be born"
|
|
Nobody would listen to him.
|
|
Think back in time
|
|
When the future you find
|
|
Is so faint that it's too hard to see.
|
|
Don't disavow his word
|
|
For the truth must be heard
|
|
Cause the preacher tells visions he sees
|
|
|
|
In 1906
|
|
Like the future predicts
|
|
The city will crumble to the bay
|
|
Then what's in store
|
|
When the worlds go to war?
|
|
Peace will have come another day
|
|
Then came the one
|
|
In the year of '41
|
|
Warfare would light up the sky
|
|
He beckoned the call
|
|
Of the future for all
|
|
Blinded by what's in his eyes
|
|
|
|
In days of old
|
|
When the books were untold
|
|
Speak of a world crushed by sin.
|
|
"The people will mourn
|
|
Of a war to be born"
|
|
Nobody would listen to him.
|
|
Think back in time
|
|
When you future you find
|
|
Is so faint that it's too hard to see.
|
|
Don't disavow his word
|
|
For the truth must be heard
|
|
Cause the preacher tells visions he sees.
|
|
|
|
Listen to these words I preach
|
|
Catastrophic lessons they shall teach (x2)
|
|
|
|
|
|
--A Day Of Reckoning
|
|
Music(Peterson,Skolnick)
|
|
Lyrics(Billy)
|
|
|
|
First there came a mass
|
|
Brilliant lights of flash
|
|
All across the President's skies
|
|
As he sits and laughs
|
|
He preaches non-conformity
|
|
I don't think they see
|
|
They live for him and what he believes
|
|
A wrath of misery
|
|
|
|
Left to die alone
|
|
In their living past
|
|
As he takes their lives away
|
|
To never get it back
|
|
No more need for society
|
|
All the lives he took
|
|
The fault of law and majority
|
|
Rules in an open book
|
|
|
|
Leave me alone
|
|
Don't take it away
|
|
A place where I know
|
|
They're destined to take away
|
|
|
|
Now they lives they lead
|
|
Are left to broken dreams
|
|
Just when they thought
|
|
They had it all
|
|
Life's not what it seems
|
|
He preaches non-conformity
|
|
I don't think they see
|
|
They live for him and what he believes
|
|
A life of misery
|
|
|
|
Leave me alone
|
|
Don't take it away
|
|
A place where I know
|
|
They're destined to take away
|
|
|
|
Don't take away
|
|
Society
|
|
There'll come a day
|
|
You're gonna pay
|
|
|
|
Day by day a day of reckoning
|
|
|
|
You're all gonna pay
|
|
|
|
You can't get away
|
|
|
