THE RIVALRY 1998 Gun Records
Since all time
began, the holy council guards the light
They saw dawn of
man, made by gods to serve their pride
Their slave, he
fell from grace, he became the renegade
But evilness
took place, cause a darkened force lurked in the shade
Silent wings of
black, shadowed all the good at heart
The snake on the
attack, shot to bite right off the dark
The poison in
their vein, freezed their soul, their heart their mind
So they praised
the evil's name, the beast to serve, the world to grind
Time of all
eternity, can never change the final destiny
The purified
that stood the fight, will be saved to see the world of light
The Rivalry, since
eternity, the final fight the blackened world to free
Lost in hate,
determined fate, all evil's damned to walk the fiery gate
The time is right at
hand, to see the truth behind the lie
Decade of evils
end, the poisoned heart is doomed to die
The chosen one
is here, they're in a deadly fix
He is the one
they fear, cause he is up to all their tricks
Pre…
Chorus…
KISS OF DEATH
Hey Mr. Man in
black, no more disguise
It's just a waste of time,
we see through your lies
You think you have
ruled the world, through the endless time
But on your wealthless soul,
I wouldn't bet a dime
When the elder drops
his arm you're dead and lost
He takes away your breath
with the kiss of death
No deal can save
your soul, we know your evil name
We see your cloven hoof, we
know your evil game
Pre…
You've really passed
the point, the point of no return
When your evil
soul will melt, the good at heart will yearn
Pre…
(Dedicated to Paul,
Gene, Ace & Peter)
FIREBREATHER
Three days of
darkness, eternal night
Celestial sign swallows up
the light
A raging storm, Armageddon's
here
The enslaved's hope is the
evil's fear
He rides the mind on
silent wings, laserbeams ripping steel
Black helicopters go up in
flames, before they know that he's real
Firebreather, raging
from the stormy sky
Firebreather, smoke and
thunder steal the light away
Black soldiers walk
the gates of hell
They drop their mask, they
come off their shell
Minotaurs and genetic beasts
Invade the world with a
bloody feast
Pre…
Chorus…
Man in black, your
time is up
Universal law,
you're outta luck
No dirty tricks,
no unfair fight
He shoots your
head off with his first strike
Pre…
Chorus…
RETURN OF THE DRAGON
"Only when the
last dragonslayer has been layed by the heels
And his demonic soul is
melting in the holy flames of eternal truth
The dragons kingdom will
return to free the enslaved soul from his shackles of hate
That will be the time, when
the Serpent looses its tongue and its head"
The kiss of the
Serpent brings darkness and torment
They fight the defender with
treason and slander
Seducing to blindness,
souls' getting mindless
They're slaying the dragon,
they're hunting the pagan
When the unerring
law of the dragon returns, to wipe away all the pain
The Serpent is banned and
the soulless will burn, the root of all evil to tame
No resurrection with
evil's attraction
Denying its spell, might
save you from hell
When the unerring
law of the dragon returns, to wipe away all the pain
The Serpent is banned and
the soulless will burn, the root of all evil to tame
The death of all
badness brings the end of all madness
Misleading liars, they will
burn in the fires
When the unerring
law of the dragon returns, to wipe away all the pain
The Serpent is banned and
the soulless will burn, the root of all evil to tame
RESURRECTION
The fight of light
& darkness put the test on you
The pain of tribulation is
what you're going through
Determination is on you,
cause fate's in your own hand
The power of seduction is
the test you have to stand
Days of war and
thunder, that's what the dark lives on
A fast trip on a one-way
until all good is gone
They love to see you
falling, to save their binding spell
You're on a suicide mission,
a final trip to hell
Death is calling,
unerring destiny
Black heart's falling, for
all eternity
Resurrection, the
soul survivors stand
Chain-reaction, but the good
at heart will stand the hand of fate
So see the whole
connection, between all things they do
They try to daze your
senses, cause the evil's never true
They promise you their
heaven, they're giving you their hell
A ticket to damnation is
what these people sell

BALLAD OF WILLIAM KIDD
He was born at the
shore of Greenock in the year 1645
Ran away at the age of
fourteen, to flee from his soul-killing life
He signed on to sail the
wild-winds, but he worked down his hands and his knees
He stood his test on the
waters, so they said: "he was bred to the sea"
In 1697, the
"Adventure…" was setting its sails
With the letter
of marque and reprisal, Kidd was prepared for his trail
They sailed at
sea with the mission, to hunt down "Tew" and "Long Ben"
A serious riot
was rising, so Kidd struck down one of his men
And he died!
Blue-blooded men
they fell from grace
Piranhas eating
their own
They sacrificed
at the altar of lies
So fate took its
course in the ballad of William Kidd
The "Adventure…"
returned to her hometown, Kidd was forced to defence
The charged him
with looting and murder, his patrons and generous friends
He's left his
crew at St. Thomas, to guard his honor from shame
But the lords
they lied like a trooper, not to lose their own heads in the game
Pre + Chorus…
The lords testified,
their unholy lies, to save their own heads from the gallows
They sacrificed Kidd, they
took him for a ride, that conspiratorial fellows
They judged him and
they found him guilty of piracy of the high seas
Betraying the men of honor,
you know lie and cheat as they please
A case of judicial murder
caused the death of a seafaring man
Slanderous bunch of liars,
to hell your souls will be damned
Blue-blooded men
they fell from grace
Piranhas eating their own
They sacrificed at the altar
of lies
So fate took its portentous
course. What a shame!
In the ballad of William
Kidd
(Dedicated to the
memory of William Kidd)
AGENTS OF BLACK
The gates of hell
are opened wide
The evil reigns with eternal
night
The end of time is breaking
loose
Light or dark, you're up to
choose
The fallen gods,
infinite pride
They serve the dark, they
fear the light
They caress the lie, they
kiss the hate
They guard the flies, they
rule the shade
Black, souls insane,
invade the worlds with a feast of war and
Pain, the final fight will
be done when they're dead and gone
Agents of black
They're sending out
their raging beasts
To invade the world from
west to east
Infected wings to spread
their seed
They hunt man down their
beasts to feed
Chorus…
Authorities an evil
force
They saved their
pact with lies and wars
Blackened men,
their souls are banned
The final fight,
all evils end
Chorus…
FIRE & THUNDER
Enchanted times, the
decade of falling
But noone thinks of
catastrophe
Seductive voice of death is
calling
The fall of man is just
plain to see
The mighty reign of
devastation
Is raging wild allthrough
the land
Sowing the winds of
desperation
A deadly breeze by the
Serpents hand
Darkest night, pride
and hate
Raging force, the fate
Fire & Thunder,
war & pain
Fire & Thunder, the
devil's reign
The lost child is
breathing badness
Building bombs just to serve
his pride
Technological wings of
madness
Could bring the end, eternal
night
Pre…
Chorus…
The souls melt in
the fire of distress
The world's caught in a
deadly trance
The flames of hell their
reign is endless
No way out, no more second
chance
Darkest night, pride
and hate
Raging force, the wings of
fate
Fire & Thunder,
war & pain
Fire & Thunder, the
devil's reign
Fire & Thunder, the
final fight
Fire & Thunder, eternal
night
THE POISON
Poisoned snakes with
doubled tongues, pretend to know the law
They menace with eternal
hell, the fiend on velvet paws
They say what you should do
or not, to keep you just in line
Praying they will fool the
blind till the end of time
Fight the fire, the
licking flame of hate
Fight the liar, the snake in
the shade
He spites his wicked
lies, the poison
He slithers, round his
victim till he bites
He injects the fuel of hate,
the poison
And the fallen angel spreads
his blackened wings
They pray the wine,
they serve the lie, that's dripping in your ears
They daze your mind, they
need your soul to oil their evil gear
A mindless and obedient
slave to the lord of flies
Their hearts are wrapped in
darkest night, cashing in on lie
Pre…
Chorus…
The evilness lives
in their heart, Lucifer's the name
They bet your
life, your soul's the prize, the pool in the game
They say they
saw the god of light, but they will never proof
I know their
god, they're praying to, two horns and a cloven hoof
Pre…
Chorus…
ADVENTURE GALLEY
Addicted to the
stormy sea, the sound of clashing waves
Proudly they are rushing by
on their breathless chase
Hunting for "Long
Ben" and "Tew", to bind them down in chains
They're standing every
raging storm, the privation and the pain
They capture every
sailing-ship, they're cashing in by stealth
Reprisal is the magic word
to increase their heaped up wealth
They stand the
stormy waters, the raging wild winds on the sea
No walking ghost or
nightmare, could ever force them to their knees
Adventure Galley,
proudly she's staying her course
Adventure Galley, the
magical force, wild and free!
Pre…
Chorus…
MAN ON THE MOON
Red hot steel and
thunder, fast and raging
The steely arrow shoots into
the night
Heading for the unknown into
darkness
Well equiped to see the
other side
Hold on, time is
right to dig the lie
Watch out, the truth will
come to light
The skids are
touching ground, dying engine
You're climbing off, you're
switching on the lights
You're walking on the moon,
the world of silence
But it tells you all the
secrets that it hides
Pre…
Man on the moon,
prowler of the night
Man on the moon,
tell man the secrets that you hide
You see the ball of
light, the steely saucer
They're watching
you and every step you'll make
Your superiors
they told you that's fiction
But what they
said was nothing but a fake
Pre…
Chorus…
So what's the point
in sending out their spaceships
To look for
something you should never find
Why they try to
keep mankind away from knowledge
The cloven hoof
is the secret that's behind
Chorus…
WAR & PEACE
The rifles are
firing, the cracking of guns break the still
The march of the soldiers,
no mercy, no thoughts and no will
The fall one by one,
their blood is shed without sense
Trapped in the spell of
nightmare
War & peace,
you're walking just straight on the edge
War & peace, you're
dying in war, but you even can't live in peace
You gun down your
victim and the devil is laughing in scorn
You're killing your brother,
cause he's wearing the wrong uniform
Pre…
Chorus…
The essence of all
evil is living on madness and hate
So see and take
over, to rule the key to your fate
Pre…
Chorus…
