  1. FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE (4:44)

  2. Do unto others as they have done to you
    But what the hell is this world coming to?

    Blow the universe into nothingness
    Nuclear warfare shall lay us to rest

    Fight fire with fire
    Ending is near
    Fight fire with fire
    Bursting with fear

    We all shall die

    Time is like a fuse, short and burning fast
    Armageddon is here, like said in the past

    Fight fire with fire
    Ending is near
    Fight fire with fire
    Bursting with fear

    Soon to fill our lungs the hot winds of death
    The gods are laughing, so take your last breath

    Fight fire with fire
    Ending is near
    Fight fire with fire
    Bursting with fear

    Fight fire with fire(repeat)



  3. RIDE THE LIGHTNING (6:36)

  4. Guilty as charged
    But damn it, it ain't right
    There's someone else controlling me

    Death in the air
    Strapped in the electric chair
    This can't be happening to me

    Who made you god to say
    "I'll take your life from you!!"

    Flash before my eyes
    Now it's time to die
    Burning in my brain
    I can feel the flame

    Wait for the sign
    To flick the switch of death
    It's the beginning of the end

    Sweat chilling cold
    As I watch death unfold
    Consiousness is my only friend

    My fingers grip with fear
    What am I doing here?

    Flash before my eyes
    Now it's time to die
    Burning in my brain
    I can feel the flame

    Someone help me
    Oh please God help me
    They are trying to take it all away
    I don't want to die

    Time moving slow
    The minutes seem like hours
    The final curtain all I see

    How true is this?
    Just get it over with
    If this is true, just let it be

    Wakened by horrid scream
    Freed from this frightening dream

    Flash before my eyes
    Now it's time to die
    Burning in my brain
    I can feel the flame



  5. FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS (5:10)

  6. Make his fight on the hill in the early day
    Constant chill deep inside
    Shouting gun, on they run throught the endless grey
    On they fight, for they are right, yes, but who's to say?
    For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know
    Suffered wounds test their pride
    Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
    Gone insane from the pain that they surely know

    For whom the bell tolls
    Time marches on
    For whom the bell tolls

    Take a look to the sky just before you die
    It is the last time he will
    Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
    Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
    Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
    He hears the silence so loud
    Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
    Now they see, what will be, blinded eyes to see

    For whom the bell tolls
    Time marches on
    For whom the bell tolls



  7. FADE TO BLACK (6:56)

  8. Life it seems, will fade away
    Drifting further everyday
    Getting lost within myself
    Nothing matters no one else
    I have lost the will to live
    Simply nothing more to give
    There is nothing more for me
    Need the end to set me free

    Things not what they used to be
    Missing one inside of me
    Deathly lost this can't be real
    Emptiness is filling me
    To the point of agony
    Growing darkness taking dawn
    I was me, but now he's gone

    No one but me can save myself, but it's too late
    Now I can think, think why I should even try

    Yesterday seems as though it never existed
    Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye



  9. TRAPPED UNDER ICE (4:30)

  10. I don't know how to live through this hell
    Woken up, I'm still locked in his shell
    Frozen soul, frozen down to the core
    Break the ice I can't take it anymore

    Freezing
    Can't move at all
    Screaming
    Can't hear my call
    I am dying to live
    Cry out
    I'm trapped under ice

    Crystalized as I lay here and rest
    Eyes of glass stare directly at death
    From deep sleep I have broken away
    No one knows, no one hears what I say

    Freezing
    Can't move at all
    Screaming
    Can't hear my call
    I am dying to live
    Cry out
    I'm trapped under ice

    Scream from my soul
    Fate, mystified
    Hell, forever more

    No release from my cryonic state
    What is this? I've been stricken by fate
    Wrapped up tight, cannot move, can't break free
    Hand of doom has a tight grip on me

    Freezing
    Can't move at all
    Screaming
    Can't hear my call
    I am dying to live
    Cry out
    I'm trapped under ice



  11. Escape (4:23)

  12. Feel no pain, but my life ain't easy
    I know I'm my best friend
    No one care, but I'm so much stronger
    I'll fight untill the end
    To escape from the true false world
    Undamaged destiny
    Can't get caught in the endless circle
    Ring of stupidity

    Out for my own, out to be free
    One with my mind, they just can't see
    No one to hear things that they say
    Life is for my own to live my own way

    Rape my mind and destroy my feelings
    Don't tell me what to do
    I don't care now, 'cause I'm on my side
    And I can see through you
    Feed my brain with your so called standards
    Who says that I ain't right
    Break away from your common fashion
    See through your blurry sight

    Out for my own, out to be free
    One with my mind, they just can't see
    No one to hear things that they say
    Life is for my own to live my own way

    See them try to bring the hammer down
    No damn chains can holdme to the ground

    Life is for my own to live my own way(Repeat)



  13. CREEPING DEATH (6:36)

  14. Slaves
    Hebrews born to serve, to the pharaoh
    Heed
    To his everyword, live in fear
    Faith
    Of the unknown one, the deliverer
    Wait
    Something must be done, four hundred years

    So let it be written
    So let it be done
    I'm sent here by the chosen one
    So let it be written
    So let it be done
    To kill the first born pharaoh son
    I'm creeping death

    Now
    Let my people go, land of goshen
    Go
    I will be with thee, bush of fire
    Blood
    Running red and strong down the nile
    Plague
    Darkness three days long, hail to fire

    So let it be written
    So let it be done
    I'm sent here by the chosen one
    So let it be written
    So let it be done
    To kill the first born pharaoh son
    I'm creeping death

    Die by my hand
    I creep across the land
    Killing first born man
    Die by my hand
    I creep across the land
    Killing first born man

    I
    Rule the midnite air the destroyer
    Born
    I shall soon be there, deadly mass
    I
    Creep the steps and floor final darkness
    Blood
    Lamb blood painted doors, I shall pass

    So let it be written
    So let it be done
    I'm sent here by the chosen one
    So let it be written
    So let it be done
    To kill the first born pharaoh son
    I'm creeping death
