(Cover masterpiece by Michael R. Whelan)
The tangled web is slowly woven
By feeble leaders mankind's chosen
To satisfy their evil dreams-
The churning gears of war machines.
With iron will they tread across
This burning speck of worthless dust.
Their metal standards now unfurled,
They purge the humans from their word.
Children of misery, centuries long,
Who walked with kings now walk alone.
They lie in fear a million deep,
Like cringing herds of human sheep.
The might of Chaos descends.
As we join the fight.
Against our common foe,
The jaws of Fate.
War unleashed,
The stench of spells.
As we trust our fists
Into the face of Hell.
Chaos Descends
The final battle begins.
Left or Right, who decides?
Their mortal terror
Torches the sky...
The beasts of Hell
Blacken Heavens eye,
We shout our fear
To a soulless sky.
Chaos Descends
Ashes to ashes,
war sweeps the land
. Burn the world,
the curse of man.
no one heeds the call
Judgement Day,
Their Iron Dream swept away.
Forging the fire, last change to fight.
Demons of evil at one with the night.
Kingdoms of greed from the blood of man,
Vampires all - bring them down if we can.
Forging the fire, not alone in the
fight.
We're at one with the night.
Stealing from beggars their stock
in trade.
nowhere to run - the judgements been made.
Fleeing from vengeance, like dogs on the run.
Search and destroy - bring them down one by one.
Forging the fire, last change to Fight.
We're at one with the night.
Driving the demons - the Iron Hand.
Standing together, the throne of man.
Forging the Fire, not alone in the fight.
Hard stand the victors, at one with the night.
Mighty warrior, raise your sword.
Against the seething Chaos horde!
Sworn to serve, but taught to hate,
The unseen masters of your fate!
Nadsokor
Mighty balance, in the sky.
Determines who's the next one to die!
The Black Sword drinks on the souls that fell,
And sucks it with it, down to Hell!
Nadsokor
Call it Heavy Metal,
Comes on hard and fast.
We're the men who play it,
We're here to kick your ass.
Coming like a hurricane,
Hundred miles an hour,
We don't stop for nothing,
Cause we've got the power.
Our nerves are made of steel,
And there's ice in our veins.
We're Frost and we're Fire.
We're pleasure and we're pain.
Chorus
Call it Heavy Metal.
Comes on hard and fast.
We re the men who play it,
We re here to kick your ass
As you stand before the Gates of Hell,
The future so unclear.
As you stand before the Gates of Hell,
The devil draws you near.
War Eternal
The Doomed One slowly beckons,
And draws you to his side,
He speaks the curse to take your soul
Along the midnight ride.
War Eternal
When he looks into your eyes
The skin melts off your back,
And when he gets you all alone
You know he'll soon attack.
War Eternal
He starts to rob you of your soul,
You're trying to fight back.
Curse the Beast, and raise your sword
To launch the first attack.
War Eternal
The war that stands eternal,
The battle you can't win.
He'll rule the world, and if he can't
He'll burn it down with him.
Trapped on a dying world, a world too
late to save.
Mankind is on the move, and he's marching to his grave.
False prophets filled with greed, leaders who rule by fear.
By their lies they are betrayed, and their message crystal clear.
We're living on a doomed plant,
A planet too late to save!
We're living on a doomed planet,
Mankinds marching to his grave!
Dark clouds foul the sky, as the end
is well at hand.
The acid rain will fall, sweeping death across the land.
The poison rivers flow, to a helpless dying sea.
Of the wicked race of man, this world will soon be free.
Chorus
Trapped on a dying world, a world of
hate and pain.
The Judgement has arrived, and the verdict is insane.
The masses cringe in fear, for their senten- ce has arrived.
May the punishment be slow, and the guilty flayed alive.
The cry has arisen across the land,
We're choked by the grip of the Iron Hand.
The sting of the whip-The toll of the bell,
We ravage the world with One Foot in Hell.
Up from the darkness-The cauldrons
of hate,
The vengeance of old-The sealing of Fate.
The screams of the damned-The souls that fell.
With One Foot in Heaven, the other in Hell.
The savior we worship won't lead us
astray.
The unholy masses have seen the last day.
The howl of the Jackal-The Beast's evil stare,
With One Foot in Hell do you think that we care.
