Endlessly
I hate, you hate, we hate each other
I fight, you fight, we fight each other
I curse, you curse, we curse each other
I kill, you kill, we kill each other
This situation is getting out of hand
And I cannot understand
There must have been a time
We were heavenly in love
But now we fight each other dead until the end
This situation is still getting out of hand
There is too much, I still don’t understand
Things are getting more and more a mess
How did we get each other into such a stress

Hail Scum
Hail scum, we’ll take the lead here after
Hail scum, that will surely die
Hail scum, we’ll take the lead here after
Hail scum, that will surely die
Table’s turning and a new power is coming
Fair is fool and fool is fair
Something is moving down there in the background
A dagger’s flying, only one’s enough to kill
These three giggling old wise lady witches
They were telling of a future
They said that when at last the hurly burly’s done
Then the battle’s lost and won
(Some inspiration for hail Scum was found in the works of William Shakespeare)

All Going Down
When I don’t drink, I’m going to dry out
And when I’m dry out, I can’t sing
When I don’t sing, I’m going to die
But dying, I can’t love
When I don’t love, I’ll get crazy
And crazy, they’ll lock me away
When they lock me up, I’ll start to shoke
But when I’m choking, I can’t drink
Oh watch it
You better watch out
While they’re uprising
We are all going down
(All Going Down is based on a poem, written by an unknown Brazilian writer

Welcome To Metalland
Come to Metalland
Welcome to Metalland
Metalland’s here to be
Come to Metalland
Welcome to Metalland
Metalland is you and me
Traveling is all over the land
And you know, we will go from the west to the east
From the north to the south, on an almost endless trip
Traveling is all through the days of the year
Every time we meet again
I’ll see your heads going up and down
I’ll see your hair flinging around
Traveling is all over the continent
And we move through rain, wind and snow
From the blood hot summer, through the nasty cold of fall
Traveling is to the places that we play our songs
Every time we meet again
I’ll see your heads up and down
I’ll see your hair flying around
Traveling is all over everywhere
And you know, we’ll go from the coast to the mountains
From the sea to the hills, from the beach up to the alps
Traveling is to all the metal feasts
And we hope that this rain will never rust your steel
While the wind blows your ears off and the sun
Burns your brains out

No Witness
(Gerald’s came was originally worked out by Stephen King)
It’s nice the weekend at the lake
we’ve playing Gerald’s came
But this is not the same
Coz you’re not moving anymore
While I’m tried to the bed
And you’re not here instead
Coz you are lying stone dead
On the ice cold cabin floor
No witness, around
No witness, no sound
They listen to that sound
That scream was rather loud
But a forest has no mouth
As far as I can see
So did I hear a shot
A witness I have not
And I am terrified with thinking
What this could have been
Nice, such a weekend at the lake
No more Geralds’s came
It’ll never be the same as it was in early days
I’m still tied to the bed
There is no peace instead
The early days are dead
They’re singing just like Marvin Gaye

Intercallary Day
That little harbour town
Was the last thing I’ve seen
This train is moving fast
Just like my thoughts do
That little kid’s scream
Was the last thing I’ve heard
I’m going back to the city
There’s nothing else to do
That fog over the sea
Was the last thing I could feel
The mud sucked at thatface
There was nothing I could do
The foghorns were crying loud
But they’re now almost faded away
That spot cannot be found, but…
…Why do I long for you
It all happened four years ago
It all happened on…
Intercallary day

Fool Moon
They get restless, they get mad
Water starts boiling, starts bubbling in their heads
Normal ain’t normal anymore
Patients ain’t patient anymore
Fool moon, bloodshed, flood tide
Hospitals show greater activity
The ones out there, they wonna get in
The ones in there, wonna get out
Newly borned step into the light
In kitchens food is moving and getting alive
Fresh meat jumps out of the frying pan
Everyone is bleeding here tonight
Bewitched, be woman, be man

We Are The Ones They Warned Us For
(Inspiration for this song was found in a statement on a button of Cornelia Wilhelmina, that’s read: We are the ones, our parents warned us for)
There was a time I remember, a long time ago
I got myself free, Rock dreams got me through the night
There was a time as I remember, a long time ago, I found
myself in a disco, was knocked out by a black light
Some time ago, I do remember, I was the one that’s gonna fire
Gonna drive, was the one that’s gonna hit you
Gonna hit you, some time ago, I do remember, I was the one
I got bad, I got it sad, I was the one that’s Had Enough.
Long live, there is a band on the road
Long live, this band is playing on
Long live, There is rock on the road
Long live!

Bonustracks
When You Go
These fuckin’ people think I’m crazy
But I don’t give a damn for that
It’s goz I’m like ridin’
These highways the best
And you can ride with me only
If you got the same kind of speed
I’m as fast as lightning
And I’m headin’ for the west
When you go with me
It all serves a good time and
I don’t mind if I end in Hell
Bottle of booz is filled and
company ain’t necessary for me
But if you want to come along
You may always follow this guy
There’s just one condition
You gotta have the same speed as me
Well they like to think I’m crazy
But why should I give a damn about that
Coz I like to ride these highways for the best
But you may always ride with me
If you can speed up with me
This lightning is goin’ now
And the motor’s headin’ west

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
Its frightenin’, though familiar, like a heartbeat pound
It is repeated and amplified by odd-looking 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

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

Mercenary
I’m living for the killing
I gotta kill to live a life
If not now and if you don’t see me later
I know I’ll never die
I always come in time
I’m a faultless ever working man
I got time in my side
I’m a rocker, I’m a roller
I’m a fighter, I’m a soldier
I’m here now to full fill your wishes
So what’s in your dirty minds
I’m a warrior, I’m a war beast
I never loose in fights
You can phone me you just call me
I like to kill the time
I’m the perfect mercenary man
I got time on my side
I’m living for the killing
I gotta kill to live a life
If not now and if you don’t see me later
I know I’ll never die
You can hire me to full fill your wishes
So what’s in your dirty mind
I’m not working for the luxury or fame
I’m just living for to die

Yet another album I’m addicted to. This is definitely one of my favorite NWOTHM releases. It reminds me of being a teenager and discovering Iron Maiden. Love the sci-fi themes.

As others have said here, a definite staple in the NWOTHM movement. It has a raw sound that is reminiscent of the era while being a solid banger for a debut album.
