H.M. Is King
There is a thing that gets you going on
There is a thing that will make you strong
This thing that drive you wild
and provokes the feelings of a child
H.M. is a King
His Majesty the King
There was once a King of old
a King who reigned with iron hand
He used to wear a beard and axe
and was called the King of saxe
And ages later there’s still the songs
that tell of feat of arms so strong
and of the heroes of the saxe
Medieval metal men with axes
There is a thing that gets me going
That song that rages like a storm
From times before we were born
Can’t tell a kiss from a bomb

Metallic Dawning
We gotta get it high
‘Cause low is much to low
We gotta have it long
‘Cause short is much too short
We wanna have it fast
‘Cause slow is much too slow
We gonna live in a frenzy
‘Cause that’s the message of the dark lord
Now we live in the dark
But it is a time for a change
We gonna get to the top
But only with your support
We live in dawning days
And it is the time to re-arrange
We wanna live in a frenzy
‘Cause that’s the will of the dark lord
We gonna move you all
Everywhere, everywhere
We gonna prove you all
What we’re worth
We get it hight
Low is much too low
We have it long
Short is too short
We want it fast
Slow is too slow
We want the frenzy
A gift from the dark lord

Mountain
A cold wind’s blown away my folks
These empty days and silent fields have left
A scorching fire took the feelings I once had
A singe of heat went through the land
Could I be feeling like a mountain big and strong
Could I be feeling like a mountain all day long
There’s nothing left but emptiness and pain
How can I live and continue this life
I’m not a lunatic but silence is my name
How can this kid grow big and strong
A cold storm took my people long ago
These empty days and silent fields have left
A burning fire took away feelings I once had
A crack of heat went through this land of ours

Nightmares I have Not
You see that there is not much left
When they’ve been sensory-de-prived for so long
And they’re no more then just skin and bones
After they’ve been hunger-striking for weeks
It’s nice to do a useful thing
It’s fine to do a good job
It’s nice to do a useful thing
And nightmares I have not
Sometimes I do awake at night
Cold sweat is running down my back, oh lord
But a real nightmare I have not
cause I think what I do is for the best
I don’t mind if they’re kidnappers or such
Or commies or just ordinary thieves
I don’t like hate and I really hate revenge
And I think I do a decent job

Land Of The Late
I’m flying, I’m speeding out through the sky
I’m winnin’, I’m loosin’ and I don’t know why
They said it would be a nice trip to the end of time
I’m racin’, I’m rushin’ along an endless line
The land of the late, the land of the late
I’m lookin’, I’m seein’, insects of rare shape
Thery’re flyin’, they’re turnin’ and comin’ my way
With wings like blades and million eye-sights
I’m flyin’, I’m fleedin’, vanishin’ in the night
To the land of the late, the late of the land
I’m listenin’, I’m hearin’ noises of strange sound
It’s frightenin’, though familiar, like a heartbeat pound
It is repeated and amplified by odd-lookin machines
I’m movin, I’m goin’, producin’ weird-lookin’ scenes
In the land of the late, the late of the land
I’m flying, I’m speeding out through the sky
I’m loosin’, I’m winnin’ and I don’t know why
It’s all whirlin’ so fast I’m loosin contact
My goal is a land from which you never come back
It’s the land of the late, late of the land

Itching Desire
Let loose these long gone feelings
This look will ray forth light
Her eyes will surely do the healing
Electrified, I’m by your sight
This overwhelming fire
Going right through the brain
Destruction of my body
Itching, Itching Desire
It’s coming in like it fades
And then again it fades
I try to get grip on the body
But it is useless
It’s like enthralling shades
This is where I was afraid of always
In silence it comes and then it hits
I know I can’t have her for ever
‘Cause then she splashes and then she splits

Gotta Get Away
This machine's a pretty but a nasty one
't feels that it strength lies in your weakness
When you come closer it, tears your body apart
When you come to close it tears your limb from limb
You gotta save yourself you gotta get away
You gotta save yourself now
It's a personal hell you be locked in
You won't get out before you're burned by that fire
It is just like being caught in a spiders web
It won't let loose never let's you go
You gotta save yourself you gotta get away
You gotta save yourself now.

With witches Help
I can win with witches' help
When this woman's around me all the time. How can I work?
When there's always something in my way
How can I get it done?
I'LL have a grip ojn fate I won't loose, but win
I'LL have a grip on fate I know I'II win
I can win with witches' help
It is the art to find the switch
Somewhere inside of her
I got to have a tool to get inside
I'LL have a grip on fate, I won't loose but win
I'LL have this grip on fate, I win
I can win with witches help
I gotta find these witches, I know they can help me
With eveil spell and ancient craft
Wipe this creature out of my life
I'll win.

Metal Bats
I can here you knocking on the refrigerator door
Sometimes I can hear you shouting You sure wonna get out
While outside the wind is howling you're still inside the frig
It is so obvious what you want, but I can let you out
Till winter time is coming cut you to pieces and I'll feed you to the bats
In wintertime I'LL let you out and metal bats won't tell
Just what it's all about
You talked about our having a relation, I guess we never had
At least it did'nt work out my way
But I don't talk about that, It was always you that did the talking
You never listened to my words
But now you're inside there, freezing and I won't let you out
Till, Till, Till, Till winter time is coming, cut you in pieces and I'LL feed you to the bats
In winter time I'LL let you out
And metal bats won't tell just what it's all about
You talked about us having a relation, I know we never had
It just did't work out my way and I won't talk about that
It was you who did the talking, never listened to my words
Now I'LL keep you inside
There freezing
I'LL never let you out

The Curse
The gates of hell, Swing wide
As metal mutants, summon the powers of the
Darkness
Darkness
Darkness
Someone is living is despair
He's under the influence of a bad influence
His future has vanished into the air, never to return
Damned curse will make you feel worse, it means a life without a hope
Damned curse makes you feel worse without a single hope
When you are living under a spell of a bad influence
Damned influence
You know your destination is hell
From witch there'll be no return
Of course we're all living under a spell
Life is a bad influence, a damned influence
And will someday end in hell
Never to return to

Alienation
Yes 't was a time I know
No 't is a thing that I won't forget
Yes 't was so fine and won't come back again
But I will see you
Won't I, won't I ??
Well here I'm standing with my face looking at your face
How come you know me any more?
Here I stand with my hands outstretched to you
How come you don't react like any other would do?
What is happening to this world
And where will this lead to?
Well here I stand with my heart in my hand
How come you don't recognize me no more?
Here I lay my whole life at your feet
How come your face don't show no expression at all?
What is happening to this world
And where will this lead to??

Open the Gate
Here comes a war and we are sailing through the night
We are the beggars of the sea
We got a task, a plan, a duty to fulfill
Something to conquer, you will see
We reach the land and all brave men get off the boats
It is our voyage to The Brill
We know no fear, or something silly of that kind
All men inside, them them slay we will
Open The Gate!
It's rather cold, but soon it will be much too hot
Especially for the ones inside
We'll hit the gate and metal cracks the massive wood
Inside we will, we'll get inside
We're called the beggars and we are proud of such a name
We're under orange command
All that we ask for, is to open up that gate
So we can get inside The Brill
Open The Gate!
It's rather cold, but soon it will be much too hot
Not only for the ones inside
We'll have to get ourselves inside these heavy walls
And sure we'll conquer all The Brill
We're called the beggars and we're proud of such a name
We're under Orange's command
All that we ask for is to open up that gate
Inside we will, inside we will
Open The Gate!

Horrible dolls
There is a night I wonna tell you about
I laid down in a mercyfull sleep
Sudden I wake up from this peacefull sleep
Because of a frightening cry
My head was not clear enough, by that time
To realize what it had been
A sudden movement in a corner of the room
I couldn't see things at first sight
Horrible Dolls get closer
Horrible Dolls are near
Horrible Dolls get to close
Horrible Dolls, Horrible Dolls
Here in my new house in a corner of the room
Wich is filled with devilish air
There is a staring of many evil eyes
The staring is at me for sure
Then at that moment I should have realized
That living things there
Were my dolls
So now I know what a frightmare can be
It came to me out of the dark
Since there's a black doom
Hanging in my room
The house is filled with rotten smell
I feel a cold strong hand caressing in my back
A whisper turnes into a yell
Even now I write this to you
A dark shade is over my desk
While the room now smells
Of so much fresh blood
I feel they are twisting my neck.

Alive
Amazing grave contains my only baby
Amazing grave took all I always loved
Big car drove away my one and only hope
Big rolls drove away what could what good have been so good
..Meat hook found her flesh at last
Life will never have me in its sway again
I still think of how she loved to see me suffer
Often I see her in my dreadfull dreams
She loved so much the things I hated most of all
She was so fond of everything that made me blue
It had me wake up every day in terror
Ahe was my life, and life had me in its all-embracing sway
It’s gonna be the death of me
Sometimes early in the morning a whisper is carried by the wind
Seems I can hear a voice that tells me why it had to be
From out of amazing grave I can hear an awful cry for help
She’s gone, she’s gone but I know that the torment stays
