Battery

Lashing out the action, returning of reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay

Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery

Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery

Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me

Battery
Battery

Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
Never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity

Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery

Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery

Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me

Battery
Battery

Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
We create the battery

Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery

Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery

Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me

Battery
Battery
Battery
Battery

Better Than You

I look at you, then you me
Hungry and thirsty are we
Holding the lion's share
Holding the key
Holding me back 'cause I'm striving to be

Better than you
(Better than you)
Better than you
(Better than you)

Lock horns, I push and I strive
Somehow I feel more alive
Bury the need for it
Bury the seed
Bury me deep when there's no will to be

Better than you
(Better than you)
Ho, better than you
(Better than you)

Oh, can't stop this train from rollin'
Oh, yo, nothin' brings me down
No, can't stop this train from rollin' on and on, on
No, no, forever on and on

Ooh
Oh, can't stop this train from rollin'
Oh, yo, you can't take it down
No, never stop this locomotion on and on and on and
No, no, you can't bring me down

'Cause I'm better than you
(Better than you)
Better than you
(Better than you)
Ooh, better than you
(Better than you)
Mm, better than you
(Better than you)
Much better than you

Better than you
(Better than you)
Oh, better than you
(Better than you)
Better than you
(Better than you)

Better than
Better than
Better than
Better than you, yeah

Can't stop this train from rollin'
From rollin' on and on and on and on and on

Aroll, on and on, on

Oh, yeah

Better than you
Oh, yeah
Ha, ha

Better than you
Ha

Blackened

Blackened is the end
Winter it will send
Throwing all you see
Into obscurity

Death of Mother Earth
Never a rebirth
Evolution's end
Never will amend

Never

Fire
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened

Blistering of Earth
Terminate its worth
Deadly nicotine
Kills what might have been

Callous frigid chill
Nothing left to kill
Never seen before
Breathing nevermore

Never

Fire
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Color our world blackened

Blackened

Opposition
Contradiction
Premonition
Compromise

Agitation
Violation
Mutilation
Planet dies

Darkest color
Blistered earth
True death of life

Termination
Expiration
Cancellation
Human race

Expectation
Liberation
Population
Lay to waste

See our mother
Put to death
See our mother die

Smouldering decay
Take her breath away
Millions of our years
In minutes disappears

Darkening in vain
Decadence remains
All is said and done
Never is the sun

Never

Fire
To begin whipping dance of the dead
Blackened is the end
To begin whipping dance of the dead

Fire
Is the outcome of hypocrisy
Darkest potency
In the exit of humanity
Color our world blackened

Blackened

Bleeding Me

I'm diggin' my way
I'm diggin' my way to somethin'

This thorn in my side is from the tree I planted

Ooh, it tears me and I bleed, yeah

Caught under wheel's roll

Can't stop to save my soul
I take the leash that's leading me
I'm bleeding me

I'm diggin' my way to somethin' better

I'm pushin' to stay
I'm pushin' to stay with somethin'
I'm pushin' to stay with somethin' better
With somethin' better

Blitzkrieg

Let us have peace
Let us have life
Let us escape this cruel night

Let us have time
Let the sun shine
Let us beware the deadly sign

The day is coming
Armageddon's near
Inferno coming
Can we survive the blitzkrieg?
The blitzkrieg
The blitzkrieg

Save us from fate
Save us from hate
Save ourselves before it's too late

Come to our need
Hear our plea
Save ourselves before the earth bleeds

The day is dawning
The time is near
Aliens coming
Can we survive the blitzkrieg?
Ha, ha

Open up your mind
Open up your purse
Open up your vault
Never, never gonna lose it

Never give an inch
Gotta make a mint
Gotta make me a million

Gonna lose it in the end
Who's a fool?

Stay a bird
Stay a man
Stay a ghost
Stay what you wanna be

Loser

Never stay with a winner
With the man
With all the filthy money

Keep it all aside
With a ride
On a record on the top
If you're gonna be a bad boy

You got it wrong
It's your long time friend
Gonna lose it in the end
