[Written by Briody Conklin]
I once had a dream sailing through the sky
Floating high above the earth below
I open my eyes to see the truth
Nothing I can do to save them
As is above As is below
Return as once before
All things renewed
I once had a dream or was it real
Nothing I can do to save them
You have been warned now the final day has come
This world shall shake from His voice
As is above
...
[lyrics by Harry Conklin]
Born out of flames descending upon the earth
The master of games for what they are worth
One with the darkness, one with my soul
Black is all power, black is control
It is my control
Black is the meaning of life
I hunger for the black of the night
Black
The color of greed
The answer of hope
The essence of light
Black
The heart inside you
The soul inside me
The power o...

In my mind's eye I raise a dagger
With means to end Duncan's life
This thought possesses even in slumber
I will commit this ghastly deed
On my servants I'll place the blame
[Lady MacBeth]
You must strike. The time is thine
They'll crown Mac Beth as next in line
This kingdom ours, now is the time
We commit this bloody crime

The deed is finished What hav...
[lyrics by Bob Parduba]
Cries in the night
Shadows move through familiar doorways
History replays
Leading, repeating mistakes we made
Vice in your eyes
Burning black with lost compassion
Cast me away
Desire is gone when all the passion is lost
Burning heart
Bleeding on now forever
Torn apart
Leading on now forever
I hear your voice
Echoes emptying on forever
Silence steals the night
Calling me...
[lyrics by Harry Conklin]
Raised on leather, weaned on war
A hell bent rebel overload
The gleam of a spike, the stain of blood
All the power contained in a raging flood
Conjure the power down below
Control is loss of control
Unleashed from the cage
Out bursting with rage
Overflowing force of desire
Come heed the call
Inside of us all
Cast all inhibitions in the fire
It's the call of the wild
S...
[lyrics by Harry Conklin]
If you wanna find some action then this is the place to be
If you want hell you've got it, just ask and you shall receive
Move aside and let me by, I'm a man who knows what he wants
Ain't nothing gonna get in my way, it's time you paid the cost
Gonna break ya, shake ya, slide you on your back
Use all my metal power to give you a heart attack
Look into my eyes and you ...
[lyrics by Bob Parduba]
They sit in silence as we march into war
There we will fight with our backs to the wall
No end in sight cities one by one they fall
Children screaming in the night as we answer the call
CHAIN OF COMMAND united we stand
Onward to victory the CHAIN OF COMMAND
How will we know if it's worth fighting for ?
They made it a game and we become the pawns
Decisions they make neve...

Cover my eyes from the filth and disgust
Wash my soul clean of the self-centered lust
Backward in time before the first sin
Before the decay of a civilized man
Forward in truth looking back just to know
Disturb not the ebb of life's forgiving flow
Learn by mistakes through the fullness of time
Will truth leave a scar in our father's bloodline
All the years
Fueled...

On the battlefield we fight with all our might
Valor and honor is our right
The bloody battlefield where men and sons have tried
To stand for what is good and what is right
Only the steel will win the day
Cold sword of the brave Cold is the blade
Pure hearts bring us to truth
Is it the heart of the brave or the cold of the blade
The hand of death has choked me many ...
[lyrics by Harry Conklin]
There is a place that no one goes about
Or fears to conjure in the mind
Sacred chants heard whispered in the dark
Watch for your shadow behind
Hands of time wind in reverse
Mirrors reflect a lie
When you find yourself alone in the dark
You know you've been left behind
Down in the depths of despair
Is it laughter or lamenting that you hear
A host of insanity all around...
[lyrics by Harry Conklin]
Circus goes 'round in my mind
Leaving all logic behind
How can I be living here ?
When I am no where near

Imagination has got the best of me
Turning one man into many
Outside I am silent
Inside I'm so violent

Displacement
I'm beside myself
Displacement
Am I me or someone else ?
Displacement
Struggle to find a way home
Displacement
No longer alone

Birnham Wood is growing to meet the walls of Dunsinane
Prophecy is unfolding. Can it be I've gone insane?
None of woman born can take my life
Now the end is here
Yet my kingdom falls here on this night
Heed the face of fear
All my plans are laid open for all eyes to know
With my lady now taken, is my throne now next to go?
None of woman born can take my life

As Lady MacBeth's life fades, Malcolm's rebels and the Scottish Army join at Birnham Wood. Malcolm
instructs the men to cut down branches and hide their vast numbers from the castle. As they begin to
approach with Lady MacBeth now gone and MacDuff's entire family slain, the two men are now driven
by vengeance.

[lyrics by Jack Starr]
Was it written in the book that all would come
To bring PEACE and JOY to the land
Speaking in tongues that all would know
The day of judgement had begun
Follow me said the stranger
I'm the shepherd oh can't you see ?
This kingdom is yours. Eternity awaits
But first you must come to me
Oh beware
You can never tell
Oh beware
Of the false messiah's return
In the final days ...

Turn,turn Hellhound, turn and face your death
Your bloodline is over. By the name of MacBeth

I command the throne, none can defy

Foolish tyrant, you have no days left
Ripped from the womb at my mother's death

Another nightmare, she prays her soul to keep
Cold hand that touches her as she pretends to sleep
Take this away
Let it end
Blood turns to ice when he's near
No one believes as she lays awake
Each night frozen in fear
Courage escapes her as she tries to scream
Can this be happening to daddy's little queen?
When she gets older She'll make him pay
She'll cut him down ...
[lyrics by Harry Conklin]
I see and I know there's something awry
They see and they know with laser eyes
Digital dreams on digital screens
creating life as they glow
Nightmares forming without a warning,
there's no one to patrol
What securities will the future hold
It's getting out of control
I'm in future shock
Overlapping textures of pain
Nightmares race through information veins
Who claims ...
[lyrics by Harry Conklin]
Town clock echo splits the night,
the witching hour moves even closer to the brink of time that is at hand.
Sound of heels pound the street from the curse that rules the town.
Chill of death has come to reap the damned.
For years ago he went away and now he's back to claim
the unsuspected souls to justify his death.
Oh, foolish one, you'd best make haste. There is no ...
[lyrics by Harry Conklin]
See the lights flashing bright above
Electrify the night
Sweat dripping lords of the metal kind
Blow you out of sight
Never listen to a word we say
You're always breaking the rules
Eyes are open when you pray
Mocking the blinded fools, you fool
You put their heads on the grinding wheel
Give 'em hell 'cause you're harder than steel
Oh, you're harder than steel, yeah, y...

MacDuff has left his house open to doom by my sinister hands
My men and I will make short work of it
Icy hand of death tight round his neck, the whole world crumbles down
A loser in life this madness will end. Tonight.

When MacDuff's eyes grasp what I've taken from him he will cower in pain
Then I'll crush his heart as it cries in my hands

Feel so alone, lost inside, burning my heart on frozen love
Cautiously I beg for a glance, a sign I'm alive within your eyes
Moonlight glows upon her skin only to touch would be a sin
Lips red as wine, to taste is to die, I beg for this sweet death tonight
She'll never know the man inside when I am gone will she realize
She'll never know the man inside just take ...
[Broderick / Conklin]
In my mind I see the terrible deeds we've done
Convincing of the loved MacBeth to gain the crown
All I wanted was to taste of royal blood
Beholding things of kings has me drowning in a flood of treachery
All I see is red. Staining things once pure
All I see is red. Cannot wash the stains
All I want in life is to wear regal robes and dance upon the courts of kings for a wh...
[lyrics by Harry Conklin]
Throughout the ages war has brought forth change
A promise for our children's sake
Tyrants and their visions build us walls of fear
The price of these walls are lives at stake
A change of seasons causes wills to bend
A rising of the populations hand
One glance at freedom begins a raging fire
Uniting every race throughout the land
IRON
Forged in fire
EAGLE
Flying free

[lyrics by Harry Conklin]
I've walked into the light on the other side
Beyond the door of life I've left behind
Followed a path I did not know
Washed by many tears
Read the pages of my life
Retraced the wasted years
that scarred my soul
Now I must go, someone calls me
Someone is tugging at my soul
Won't let go. Let me go
When the seal is opened on the book of life
Will your name be written the...

'Tis now the hour to seize the throne
I've not the will to go it alone
I foresee a blade in Duncan's chest
His life's blood I do invest
The mirror knows a face no one else can know
Points to the path that I must go
The moon will bring a change tonight
Asleep no one will see my plight
A dagger's thrust will be his end this night
Then to be king I'll pay the price

Scrambled signals on the radio
Orders are given to attack
Flames light the sky from over the hill
No time for turning back
Well, the blood lust runs cold inside my veins
Twisting tormenting my mind
I feel a scream from deep inside
It lets me know I'm the killin' kind
Gonna yell, unleash this demon rage
Scream, I'm a tiger in a cage
Yell, I'm on the prowl again

A people of virtue we're not
Cold blooded metal burns hot
Scratching our way to the top
A wheel once is started no one can stop
With minds full of pleasure
Hands full of greed
Metal hearts burn with fire
We are born to lead
LUST FULL AND FREE
Sporting our leather with pride
So hard to keep it inside
Hot -blooded creatures of sin
No force will halt this wheel once it s...

Hearts racing, blood boils Fist raising overlords
Corruption our cry We're metal till we die

Only to claim this earth as their prize

Fires blazing electricity racing boiling my veins
Strength without ending the message we're sending
is no pain no gain
Arm in arm and one mind together
We're ready to strike
No time for forgiveness or empty tomorrow
We live without shame
The world is so thirsty for pleasure and torment
They're one in the same
Arm in arm and one mind together
We're ready to strike

All the years, fears and tears from the past
Lessons for all to learn
Clinging to life, how long will it all last?
As long as there is fire we'll burn
There's a hole in this world
A hole in the soul of mankind
The whole of this world
Is pulling down and leaving waste behind
Tell me, son, is the street where you call home?
Will a weapon calm your nerves?
Is your mother...

Neon lights are flashing as the tyrants raise their swords
Sounds of metal crashing the avenue overlords
Kings of black leather with words made of steel
Lock all your doors very soon you will feel
Under the knife. Feel the revenge.
Under the knife. You'll get it in the end.
Under the knife. You'd better run for your life.
'Cause you're under the knife

Figures fly across a moonlit bay
Without a sound a figure slips away
Terror strikes a child inside my soul
Shadow Thief will soon play a role
Silent assassin clothed in black
Who will play the pawn in his next attack
Many men have lost their lives
at the hands of Shadow Thief
A master of an ancient skill handed down by priests
Trained in every weapon

[lyrics by Mark Briody and Harry Conklin]
I see the remnants of our past
Were we there?
I see no light, no hope, we fall
Are we here?
We see our aspirations fail
I feel the winters growing cold
No sign, no light, our lives are growing old
I feel the winters growing cold
No sign, no light, no hope, growing cold
The dove of dreams is flying overhead
Her wings are spreading softly signs of dread

Banquo is gone, his soul I feel
My eyes are closed his words are real
So much to ponder, so much has changed
Not long ago I was a nobleman, now I am king
My lady and my guests await me in honor
My thoughts haunt me inside on the path I've laid
I shake with fear, his voice I hear
Banquo is dead, now he's in my head
He haunts my night. He haunts my day

Rise to the order of a supreme society
Strike down rebellion control identity

That you pledge your allegiance to the united cause for all

With the curse of death he stands
In the darkness cold and black
Looking over the lands preparing his attack
Hunger nagging at his belt

He'll sneak into your room at night
And feast without a sound
He's a mysterious figure in black
Roaming the city bringing death

Orders and runway cleared, given the green to go
Instruments glowing amber red
Light up the turbine engines, they scream and start their burn

Stealthily we fly, Take to the sky
Upon reaching altitude earth seems so small below
Silent, invisible black death from above

Since the beginning of time man has ruled the earth
Deemed the principle power over all
As time plodded on mans knowledge grew
Till he was no longer man but a GOD
To be the lord of all

Ages of time elevate the mind
ours is the age of mastery
Centuries of learning on computer ...

When your love exists no more it's time to find another door
Rekindling flames that have gone dim, let feelings spread on a whim
Look toward the light and fix your eyes, let the white dove fly
When your love exists no more it's time to find another door
Hearts are dry it's time they burn
The wheel of life has stopped its turn
Pound the flesh unto the tree

She walks in moonlit shadows to make men beg
Her slender figure slithers and you will pay
A tender morsel for rich men, a prize to the poor
The way she looks is so lethal, drops you to the floor
It's said that our dear Scarlet shall never be a puppet
She is regal as the queen, she is royally obscene
She bears the scarlet letter
Her scent is quite delicious, her form...

Teach me to feed upon the weak, crawling in filth

Your time has come the full moon's in the air

It won't be long till he finds you
Don't look back at the shadow on the wall
With hands outstretched to grab you
So don't let the reaper ...

Ticking of time echoing into a memory
Spending our lives on a wheel
Spinning around unaware of it's heading
Unguided course with the future as the keel

We live in the twilight of the twilight years
