The golden eyed creature sits back on his thorne
Gazing at us despairs
Six Hundred Guests, humanity's best
Are wondering why they are there
All roads lead here, all roads are burned
Have we digested the things we have learned
Have we a chance when the dead rise and dance
Have we the time for the final romance

We better find out
The name of the game
Chance of a future frozen and grim
Or of a quick death brought here on a whim
Why are we here does anyone know
Why are we here at the terminal show

The blind king has secrets darks and morose
He'd like it if we were like him
All the dark days spent in the maze
Have made a new man of him
All roads lead here, All roads are closed
Are quite certain of all that we know
Are we miscast or do we hold fast
Have we the time for the final repast

We better find out
The name of the game
Chance of a new world sunny and fine
Or of a burning a branded desing
Why are we here, we don't even know
Why are we here at the terminal show

The red queen is sleeping, lost in a dream
She wakes and she sleeps all alone
All of her fears are crowded in here
Laughing they pick at her bones
All roads lead here, none lead away
Are we quite certain we're here anyway
Have we been wise or are we despised
Have we the time for our final demise

We better find out
The name of the game
Chance of a lost world, rain and dismay
Pick up your belongings, we all have to pay
Why are the vultures circling above
Why can't we fight for the right to our blood
We are demented, everyone knows
Misrepresented, coming to blows
Why are we here, we don't even know
Why are we here at the terminal show

. . .


Killers - #02 - Inferno (2004)

The order is for murder
And we've been there before
The men in black are coming back
To serve the killing floor

No pity, No surrender

We take no prisoners
We spare no brave defender

No mercy, No quarter here

The Killers
Will show you flame and sword
We are The Killers
Enough to make your backbone shake
The Killers
Enough to make your stupid faces quiver
And The Killers long to take your life

The sun beats down like thunder
We ride to meet the foe
The clash of the steal and leather
The only song we know

No pardon, No quarter

We own to no compassion
We glory in the slaughter

No mercy, We fetch your death

The Killers
We are the ones foretold
We are The Killers
We do not yearn for gold
We are The Killers
We know the wrath of battle
We are Killers
And The Killers will destroy your life

... You Die!

SOLO

The devil rides to glory
We hasten by his side
A legendary story
Told by fireside

No quarter, Let all hope fade

We glory in the slaughter
Our badge the Ace of Spades

No mercy, We bring the sword

The Killers
We murder you in battle
We are Killers
We ride you down like cattle
We are Killers
We fight our way to legend
We are Killers
And The Killers love to see you die

Killers,
We kill you til you die
We are The Killers
We hold our banners high
We are The Killers
We hang you out to die
We are The Killers
And all we bring is death to life

SOLO

In The Name of Tragedy - #03 - Inferno (2004)

Were you ever lost
Were you ever young
Were you ever safe little brother
Do you see the sense of the evidence
Are you still part of the struggle

Did you bang your head
Did you go to bed
Does it still feel pretty funky
Lay back and dream
In the death machine
Pity you still think like a monkey

(GO!) Bring it up, bring it down til you hit the ground
(NOW!) Get a rude attitude, turn the world around
(LIE!) Shall we see, shall we disagree
Sing it ALL In The Name of Tragedy

Did you ever lie
Ever wonder why
Nobody believed you honey
What a pretty smile
Drive the people wild
Wonder who ran off with the money

Do you ever change
Is it going to rain
Will it bring you pennies from heaven
Do you know the score
Are you waiting for
Anxious for the new Armageddon

(GO!) Drag it up, Get it down til you hit the ground
(NOW!) Cop a rude attitude from the world around
(SAY!) Shall we see, shall we disagree
Sing it ALL In The Name of Tragedy

... Later

SOLO

Marbles in your mouth
What's it all about
Do you know the name of the winner
If I was to go
Would you let it show
Life is not a TV dinner

If you dream of me
Will you ever see
Do you want a piece of the action
If I wasn't sure
Would you do it more
Help me to achieve an erection

(GO!) Get it up, get it down til you hit the ground
(NOW!) Cop a rude attitude turn the world around
(HUH!) Shall we see, shall we disagree
(ALL!) In The Name of Tragedy

(NOW!) Sing it loud, sing it out, make the people shout
(HUH!) Get it all, get it on, get it sorted out
(NOW!) Be a seer, be sincere, can you really see
(ALL!) In The Name of Tragedy

. . .


Suicide- #04 - Inferno (2004)

The night is mine, it burns so black
And there will be no morning light
The human race's foul disease
Will keep the morning from our sight
Why can't we say the secret word
Respect for nothing, fire or flood
Expect no quarter, no reprieve
We writhe and grin in our own blood

No sun just clouds and poison rain
Raped and freezing,
Victims of the dream again

Truly our days are darker now
We lie and cheat, to our own selves
If we do this, I ask you how
Can we speak truth to someone else
There is no way, no road at all
We are destroyed, by our own plan
The air we breathe will kill us all
And no one left to give a damn

No sun just clouds and poison rain
Raped and feezing
Victims of the dream again

Stay clean, be true
do whatever you can do
Make it soon, or we all die
Ten thousand years, and all we got is Suicide

SOLO

If there be Gods, then tell me why
They make us kill and kill again
One hundred thousand thousand years
No mercy in the minds of men
What is the word that we should read
What incantation should we say
How can we ask for justice now
When all the world is blown away

No sun, no hope the world is run insane
Raped and freezing
Victims of the dream again

Stay clean, be true
Do whatever you can do
Make it soon, or we all die
Ten thousand years, and all we got is Suicide

SOLO/END

Life's a Bitch - # - Inferno (2004)

I don't know who you are
I don't know your name
But if you want to live
You better learn the game
Don't know why you're here
Ain't seen your face so far
If you don't want to fail
You better hide your scars

Make a poor man cry
The way you run your life
Make a poor man laugh
The way you run your wife

Time you hit the road
Better be on your way
Don't scream
Don't shout
Three strikes and you be out
It's a shame I know
No chance to see the show
Fear the man, kill the snitch
Just remember Life's a Bitch

I don't know what you've got
I don't know your mom
But if you don't like your life
Then don't act dumb
I don't know where you go
And I sure don't care
If you don't want to starve
You better get your share

Make a grown man sick
The way you run your mouth
Make a grown man shake
The way you're running out

Time to hit the skids
Better be on your way
Don't shout
Don't scream
Three strikes and they be mean
A shame you're right
No chance to see the fight
Be a man, fix the glitch
Just remember LIfe's a Bitch

SOLO

I don't know what you see
I don't know the score
But if you don't like blood
You better close the door
I don't know how you think
Don't want to hear your tale
And if you talk too much
You're going to land in jail

Make a tall man short
To see you act this way
Make a short man puke
The way you waste the day

Time to go to hell
Better be on your way
Don't moan
Don't pout
Three strikes takes your ass out
Oh no, bad news
No chance to shine your shoes
Fear the sky, eat the rich
Just remember Life's a Bitch

SOLO/END

Down On Me- #06 - Inferno (2004)

Sometimes there's nothing to say
In the hard times
Do you know me
or are we all lost in the game
You can be a thousand to one
or you can die alone
There's no disgrace
when no one knows your name

Sometimes it hurts your heart
when you lose control
Do you see me
can I depend on you
You can be a soldier of love
or you can lose your soul
There's no time
to make sure it's all true

Give your blood and save me
Give your love and amaze me
I see you now
I know you see
Give a sucker an even break
Another emotion to fake
Down On Me
Down On Me

Sometimes it makes you laugh
in the darkness
Do you feel it
don't tell me no lies
You can be a God or a Fool
it's your decision
Are you forbidden
you can fight or die

Give your blood and save me
Give your love and amaze me
See it through
What can you be
Give a sucker an even break
Another emotion to fake
Down On Me
Down On Me

SOLO

Give your blood and save me
Give your love and amaze me
I see you now
And I know you see
Give a sucker an even break
Another emotion to fake
Down On Me
Down On Me

Give your hands to hold me
Give your arms to enfold me
Say the word
Set me free
Bring me in out from the storm
Keep me safe from scorn
Down On Me
Down On Me

SOLO/END

In The Black - #07 - Inferno (2004)

Listen honey
Let me see you smile
Don't be look at me funny
You got a better style
See me coming
Don't look the other way
Don't start running
You stole my heart away

Don't give me that run around
You know I treat you fine
You don't understand the way I feel
You got my heart rolling like a wheel

I'm In The Black, (I'm In)
I'm In The Black, (I'm In)
I'm In The Black again
Can't go back, (Can't go)
Can't go back, (Can't go)
Can't be who I was back then
It's only me, (only me)
It's only me, (only me)
It's only me outside your door
Let me be, (let me)
Let me be, (let me)
I'm the one your waiting for

Here me talking
You hear what I say
I see you walking
Every time it makes my day
I got a motion
I might stay a while
If you fall in the ocean
I'll swim a hundred miles

Coming over to ask you out
Ah, honey please say yes
I don't like it when you stomp and pout
I dont' like it when you run your mouth

I'm In The Black, (I'm In)
I'm In The Black, (I'm In)
I'm In The Black again
Can't go back, (Can't go)
Can't go back, (Can't go)
Can't be who I was back then
It's only me, (only me)
It's only me, (only me)
It's only me outside your door
Let me be, (let me)
Let me be, (let me)
I'm the one your waiting for

SOLO

You're a vision
Make me shout out loud
I made my decision
Goodbye to the old crowd
Send you a message
I've gotta change my arm
Scramble through the wreckage
To keep you safe from harm

I'm going to be right around your house
I hope you're good to go
If you're not it's going to hit me hard
I'm going to fold up like a house of cards

I'm In The Black, (I'm In)
I'm In The Black, (I'm In)
I'm In The Black again
Can't go back, (Can't go)
Can't go back, (Can't go)
Can't be who I was back then
It's only me, (only me)
It's only me, (only me)
It's only me outside your door
Let me be, (let me)
Let me be, (let me)
I'm the one your waiting for

Fight - #08 - Inferno (2004)

Midnight, midnight
Midnight beat the drum
Black night, black night
Black night, cut and run
Slaughter, slaughter
Slaughter, flee your bed
Quarter, no quarter
No quarter, don't lose your head

Fighting in the west
Fighting in the east
Fighting like a beast
You must stand and Fight

Fight, Fight, Fight
Fight, make it right
Fight, Fight

Fighting, fighting
Fighting, for your life
Riding, riding
Riding, endless nights
Laughing, laughing
Laughing, to our death
Laughing, laughing
Laughing, to our final breath

Fighting in the west
Fighting in the east
What a bloody mess
You will stand and Fight

Fight, Fight, Fight
Fight, make it right
Fight, Fight

... Head Tall

SOLO

Reaver, reaver
Reaver, riding fast
Believer, believer
Believer, loyal to the last
Faithful, faithful
Faithful, to our creed
Soldier, till it's over
Till it's over, everything we need

Fighting to the last
Fighting to the death
Your last dying breath
You must stand and Fight

Fight, Fight, Fight
Fight, make it right
Fight, Fight
Fight, stand and Fight
Stand and Fight, stand and Fight
Make it right, stand and Fight
You must Fight, Fight
You motherfucker

In The Year Of The Wolf - #09 - Inferno (2004)

In the year of the wolf
All the world smelled good
In the snow and the ice
All the rest was blood

In the time of the tribe
we took a thousand lives
When I ran with the wolves
and the hunting was good

See me now, I was another
Not like me, when the wolves were brothers
See me now, you cannot know
The kind of food that make me grow

It was the wolf in me
Body and soul on fire
In the cold, full moon
Blood, red, desire
It was the wolf in me
You know it felt so true
The night I ran with the wolves
Tonight I come for you

In the year of the wolf
how could you ever know
There in the forest
I had teeth to show

In a different time
when the world was mine
When I ran as a wolf
And the sun burned low

See me now, I was another
Mean and vicious, fast and clever
See me now, you would not dream
The food I ate, the food that screamed

It was the wolf in me
And all my soul was fire
By the cold, dull moon
Blood, red, desire
It was the wolf in me
I howled the cold night through
The year I ran as a wolf
Tonight the food is you

SOLO

In the year of the wolf
All the tribe ran mad
On the frozen lake
And I felt so glad

With tooth and claw
All your blood and more
When I ran with the wolves
And the hunt turned bad

See me now, this is not me
Not like the one, I used to be
See me now, you would not guess
A different heart raving in my chest

It was the wolf in me
When the world was cold
It was the life I lived
In the dark world below
It was the wolf in me
Crying and howling too
I was crying for the hunt
But I was hunting for you

. . .


Keys To The Kingdom - #10 - Inferno (2004)

Death in the stars, rain on the wind
Came to the mission, couldn't get in
Came out of nowhere, guess I'll go back
All down to bad luck

Fire in the sky, nowhere to run
Came to the desert, burned by the sun
Came out of somewhere, I ain't never been back
All down to bad luck

King of frustration, Vampire de Luxe,
Keys To The Kingdom, God hates your guts
Out of the heavens a blessing might fall
But the Keys To The Kingdom mean nothing at all

Crippled by cold, blinded by fear
Looking for God, but they said he ain't here
Came out of nowhere, can't stand to go back
All down to bad luck

Carved on a stone, the world's epitaph
Walked through te graveyard, just had to laugh
Came out of exile, for a handful of dust
All down to bad luck

King aggrivation, Vampire de Luxe
Congratulations, God hates your guts
Bound for damnation, backs to the wall
And the Keys To The Kingdom mean nothing at all

SOLO

High in the sky, in letters of fire
The names of the saints, the thieves and the liars
Came to the funeral, out of pure spite
All down to bad luck

The least we could do, the harder we tried
The better we lived, the sooner we died (the sooner we died)
Came to the goldmine, cold and alone
All down to bad luck

King of starvation, Vampire de Luxe
Keys To The Kingdom, we hate your guts
In the asylum, no one hears you call
And the Keys To The Kingdom buy nothing at all
Nothing at all

. . .


Smiling Like A Killer - #11 - Inferno (2004)

I'm the one you never see, in the dead of night
Peeking in your window, staying out of sight
GO to bed, lock the door, don't look in the mirror
What if I was right behind you
Smiling Like A Killer

I'm the knocking at your door, when you're all alone
I'm the scratching zombie claw, in your twilight zone
Cut your throat, catch your breath, blood run like a river
Last thing you see before your death
Smiling Like A Killer

Killers in the house
Killers in the yard
Smile, smile, smile
Killers they're so hard
Smiling at your kids
Smiling at your mom
Smiling at your pets
They know where you come from
They know where you come from

I'm the razor at your throat, in your fever dreams
I'm the one to get your goat, nothing's what it seems
Freeze your smile, stop your heart, creep and crawl and slither
Come to you and make my mark
Smiling Like A Killer

Killers in your room
Squirming in your chair
Smile, smile, smile
Killers they're not fair

Smiling in the crowd
Smiling all alone
Smiling in your ear
Call you on the phone
Call you on the phone

SOLO

I'm the creepy homeless guy, hanging around your school
I'm the one to make you gone, low and base and cruel
In the evening we can dance, piggy in the middle
I will show you true romance
Smiling Like A Killer

Killers in the mist
Killers in the fog
Smile, smile, smile
They might eat your dog
Smiling here and now
Smiling all the time
Smiling in your dreams
A Smile just like mine
A Smile just like mine
A Smile just like mine

. . .


Whorehouse Blues - #12 - Inferno (2004)

Well we came up from the gutter
The wrong side of the tracks
Yeah, we came up from the gutter
Wrong side of the tracks
You know the music brought us out, babe
And we ain't never been back

Cause we went city to city
All around the world
Yes, we went city to city
All around the world
You know it never looked like enough, honey
Even after thirty years

Cause we come blazing like a shooting star
We light you up real good
we come blazing like a shooting star
And we light you up real good
We gonna hit you like a flash of lightning
Just like a bad boy would... make your name

SOLO

You know the only thing that's missing
Is a little mouth harp blues... mouth harp blues
You know the only thing that's missing
Is a little mouth harp blues... that's how we do it
And you know life's full of suprises
You know we do that to, Oh Yeah!

SOLO (Harmonica)

You know we ain't too good looking
But we are satisfied... satisfied
No, we ain't never been good looking
But we are satisfied... satisfied
We shoulda opened up a little Whorehouse, honey
Get a little booty on the side
