Lyrics

The Ultimate Sin
03:45
Overkill enough is enough
There's nothing left of me to devour
You've had your fill I'm all I have left
What can stop your hunger for power
'Cos you took advantage of things that I said
Now the feeling is dead

And that's the ultimate sin
And that's the ultimate sin

Anyway I look at it now
The doors are closed and cannot be opened
Bury your anger and bury your dead
Or you'll be left with nothing and no one
There's no point in screaming 'cos you won't be heard
Now that tables have turned

It was the ultimate sin
It was the ultimate sin
It was the ultimate sin

I warned you then and I'm warning you now
If you mess with me you're playing with fire
Winds of change that are fanning the flames
Will carry you to your funeral pyre
It's pulling you down
It's your final descent
It's too late to repent

When it's the ultimate sin
When it's the ultimate sin
When it's the ultimate sin
When it's the ultimate sin
Secret Loser
04:09
Trapped in a lonely body I'm losin' control
Can't show my emotions and I'm losing my soul
Could it be that I'm obsessed with feeding my disease
I couldn't make it know that hidden things that no one sees

Yeah loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser

Fighting a losing battle pretending to win
Repenting to holy unknowns pretending to sin
All I do is hide the wounds where blood just won't congeal
Couldn't ever take my soul 'cos isn't there to steal

Yeah loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser

Though I'm the loser there is no winner
There's nothing left to win
The hidden reasons now in deletion
Are lost in sin
So heed my warning the time is dawning
I'll tell you here's the twist
The truth is lying
Below the surface I don't exist

Loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser

Seeing is not believing it don't mean a thing
Although it appears to be that the loser is king
I can understand that what you see you think is real
But underneath the surface is a wound that cannot heal

Yeah loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser
Loser I'm a secret loser
Never Know Why
04:28
If we're offensive and pose a threat
You fear what we represent is a mess
You've missed the message that says it all
And you'll never know why
Oh no, you'll never know why
We rock

It's just a feeling how we excite
You cannot rule everybody in sight
But you condemn, don't understand
And you'll never know why
Oh no, you'll never know why

We rock, rock, rock
We rock, rock, rock
We rock, rock, rock
You'll never know why
We rock

I leave you cold and in disgust
Don't try to tame me, you'll eat my dust
I know that you know not what you do
That's why you'll never know why
Oh no, you'll never know why

We rock, rock, rock
We rock, rock, rock
We rock, rock, rock
You'll never know why
We rock, rock, rock
We rock, rock, rock
We rock, rock, rock
You'll never know why
We rock
Thank God for the Bomb
03:54
Like moths to a flame
Is man never gonna change
Time's seen untold aggression
And infliction of pain
If that's the only thing that's stopping war

Then thank god for the bomb
Thank god for the bomb
Thank god for the bomb
Thank god for the bomb

Nuke ya nuke ya

War is just another game
Tailor made for the insane
But make a threat of their annihilation
And nobody wants to play
If that's the only thing that keeps the peace

Then thank god for the bomb
Thank god for the bomb
Thank god for the bomb
Thank god for the bomb

Nuke ya nuke ya

Today was tomorrow yesterday
It's funny how the time can slip away
The face of the doomsday clock
Has launched a thousand wars
As we near the final hour
Time is the only foe we have

When war is obsolete
I'll thank god for the war's defeat
But any talk about hell freezing over
Is all said with tongue in cheek
Until the day the war drums beat no more

Then thank god for the bomb
Thank god for the bomb
Thank god for the bomb
Thank god for the bomb

Nuke ya nuke ya
Never
04:20
It is the voice of your laughter that echoes in vain
In the vessel of your sorrow and pain
It is the beat of a heart that you hear in your mind
Something's missing, but you cannot explain

You've searched your soul for feeling
Over and over now, over and over now
There is no use in dreaming
Over and over now, over and over now

It is the chain that you're dragging that was once your relief
That's like everything that's born to die
And the birth of a doubt that was once your belief
Is drowning in the tears that you cry

It all remains a mystery
Forever and ever now, ever and ever now
The things that were are history
Forever and ever now, ever and never now

It's never too late to cry
It's never too late for goodbyes
It's never too late to cry
You know you were born to die
Oh, God

If the Messiah is coming, will he be too late
To reconcile our tears with our hate?
And the memory of freedom that imprisons our heart
As we're greeted by the cold hand of fate

It's never too late to cry
It's never too late for goodbyes
It's never too late to cry
You know you were born to die
Lightning Strikes
05:14
Won't you listen 'cos I'm at it again
Lightning striking, and on that you can depend
They say that lightning never strikes the same place twice
Gods of thunder, sit and watch the event

You know I take no prisoners
My back's to the wall
You know I must be going
When destiny calls
Until I feel that thunder shattering my brain

I won't stop rockin' all night, rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Rockin' all night, rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again

Tell your mama that you're gonna be late
But not to worry, we'll just be rockin' all night
The lightning strikes before you hear the thunder roar
We're becoming the children of the night

I'm not aplogizing
I am what I am
There is no compromising
I don't give a damn
Until I feel the thunder boiling in my veins

I won't stop rockin' all night, rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Rockin' all night, rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again

Oh no, I've lost control
Here we go, it's only rock & roll

The silver light is flashing
As all turns to gold
In my head voices screaming
And I'm being told
If you will only listen, you will hear them too

I won't stop rockin' all night, rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Rockin' all night, rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again
You go rockin' all night, rockin' all night
Until the lightning strikes again
You go rockin' it all night, rockin' it all night
Until the lightning strikes again
Killer of Giants
05:42
If none of us believe in war
Then can you tell me what the weapon's for
Listen to me everyone
If the button is pushed
There'll be nowhere to run

Giants sleeping giants winning wars
Within their dreams
Till they wake when it's too late
And in god's name blaspheme

Killer of giants threatens us all
Mountains of madness standing so tall
Marches of protest not stopping the war
Or the killer of giants
The killer of giants

Mother nature people state your case without its worth
Your seas run dry your sleepless eyes are turning red alert

Killer of giants threatens us all
Mountains of madness standing so tall
Rising so proudly it has nowhere to fall
This killer of giants
This killer of giants

Killer of giants threatens us all
Mountains of madness standing so tall
Marches of protest not stopping the war
Oh the killer of giants
Oh the killer of giants
Killer of giants
Killer of giants
Fool Like You
05:20
I hear you breathing though you're so far away
Can you just go where you're going to?
I couldn't give a damn or two about a fool like you
That's true

Are you just too cool? No, you're just perfectly cold
And what goes 'round still comes around
I think it's all summed up and down in a fool like you
That's true

Today is just another day
You hold your ticket into nowhere
It's up to you if you'll stay
And turn your day into a nightmare

You think you know it, you think you know it all
But you don't even have a clue
And control is still in view for a fool like you
That's true

Is there a reason for the way that you are
Or does it just come naturally?
To have an idiosyncrasy and be a fool like you
That's true

You're hearing what you want to hear
Misunderstanding all you see
An attitude in all of us
Is it really you and me

He's hiding, residing deep within the crowd
A hand out, he'll pull you down

You've been found guilty, committed every crime
But still they say you must go free
Looks like haunted I will be by a fool like you
That's true

By a fool like you, by a fool like you
Looks like haunted I will be by a fool like you
That's true
By a fool like you, by a fool like you
Looks like haunted I will be by a fool like you
That's true
Shot in the Dark
04:28
Also available on:
Out on the street I'm stalking the night
I can hear my heavy breathing
Paid for the kill but it doesn't seem right
Something there I can't believe in

Voices are calling from inside my head
I can hear them I can hear them
Vanishing memories of things that were said
They can't try to hurt me now

But a shot in the dark one step away from you
A shot in the dark always creeping up on you

Taught by the powers that preach over me
I can hear their empty reason
I wouldn't listen I learnt how to fight
I opened up my mind to treason

But just like the wounded and when it's too late
They'll remember they'll surrender
Never a care for that people who hate
Underestimate me now

But a shot in the dark one step away from you
A shot in the dark not a thing that you can do
A shot in the dark always creeping up on you

But just like the wounded and when it's too late
They'll remember they'll surrender
Never a care for the people who hate
Underestimate me now

But a shot in the dark one step away from you
A shot in the dark not a thing that you can do
A shot in the dark always creeping up on you
