LYRICS

Looking for a God in all the wrong places
Do you think you’ll find him on a battlefield?
Do you think a God of peace and love
Wants to see you tempted by the savage steel
Do you think he wants you to not practice what you preach?(What you preach)
Do you think he wants you to do the opposite of what you teach?(What you teach)
Do you think there’s no hell made for hypocrites
Do you think mouthing empty words Will put you where he sits

It’s a war in the sun
And you’re blinded by the light
So consumed with victory
That you don’t know what is right
It’s a small sacrifice
A perfect way to justify
The means to end a mortal life
So there souls will never rise

Bringing peace through a sword
(Lose your soul to the war in the sun)
Lie for truth break their word
(Lose your soul to the war in the sun)
Save their souls damn your own
(Lose your soul to the war in the sun)
Preaching love bringing death

Children die, mothers will cry, murdered to save their soul
Your blind zeal, and lust for steel is faith out of control
There’s no shame just feel the flame, never any doubts
And if you’re not sure, just kill them all
And let God sort them out
In your minds you are right; you serve your God well
Your high goals and your own rules, pave your way to hell

Do you believe that you can teach obedience with a sword?(With a sword)
Do you believe that you’re giving glory to the Lord?
Do you believe that you are doing God’s will?(Your God’s will)
Or is it to ease your consciousness of every life you steal
As you preach the word keep your soul in mind
Open your mind and close your eyes, when you fight a war in the sun

It’s a war in the sun
And you’re blinded by the light
So consumed with victory
That you don’t know what is right
It’s a small sacrifice
A perfect way to justify
The means to end a mortal life
So there souls will never rise

Bringing peace through a sword
(Lose your soul to the war in the sun)
Lie for truth break their word
(Lose your soul to the war in the sun)
Save their souls damn your own
(Lose your soul to the war in the sun)
Preaching love bringing death

Children die, mothers will cry, murdered to save their soul
Your blind zeal, and lust for steel is faith out of control
There’s no shame just feel the flame, never any doubts
And if you’re not sure, just kill them all
And let God sort them out
Hypocrisy will be the fuel to set your soul on fire
Your heart will turn your soul will burn, with hell your funeral pyre

It’s a war in the sun…It’s a war

Ooh Yeah!
Lost inside myself
Searching for my soul
Help me gypsy
Tell me what the future holds

Incense burns my nose
Eyes as black as night
Look at your crystal ball
Use your second sight

And the future’s written
Until the end of days
And all will be revealed
In the fortune teller’s gaze

Speak to the living
The dead speak to you
You’re the portal
That spirits all come through

Incense burns my nose
Eyes as black as night
Look at your crystal ball
Use your second sight

And the future’s written
Until the end of days
And all will be revealed
In the fortune teller’s gaze

Fortune teller’s gaze
Fortune teller’s gaze
gaze

Warriors, heed the call
Enemies, at our walls
Stand and Fight, strong and brave
Wave the flag, take to the sky
Draw our swords, prepare to die

In the night we take to the sky
(ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhhh)
On backs of dragon’s we shall ride
(ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhhh)
A blanket of blood we’ll cover the sky
(ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhhh)
Sword and shield and fist held high
(ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhhh)
Time to fight or time to die
(ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhhh)
Dragon rider’s time to fly

Claw to Claw, teeth to teeth
Dragon flame, deadly heat
Magic spells, dragons scream
On and on, toward destiny
Bred to kill, born to die
Fight to live, live to fight

In the night we take to the sky
(ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhhh)
On backs of dragon’s we shall ride
(ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhhh)
A blanket of blood we’ll cover the sky
(ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhhh)
Sword and shield and fist held high
(ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhhh)
Time to fight or time to die
(ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhhh)
Dragon rider’s time to fly

In the night we take to the sky
(ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhhh)
On backs of dragon’s we shall ride
(ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhhh)
A blanket of blood we’ll cover the sky
(ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhhh)
Time to fight or time to die
(ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhhh)
Dragon rider’s time to fly

I hear your name
It’s whispered on the wind
Though your gone my friend
My love will never end
Life goes on, on and on

Life goes on without you
I know it’s not the same
Why did God take you from me?
Well I guess he had his way
Life goes on, on and on

Why did I have to say goodbye
Why did you have to leave?
Now your angels in the sky
Watching over me

Everyday I deal
With the pain that I feel
And so I carry on my friends
Live the way you always wanted
Life goes on, on and on

I feel you everywhere
Death just don’t seem fair
To take the good away from us
And leave us with the bad
Life goes on, on and on

Why did I have to say goodbye
Why did you have to leave?
Now your angels in the sky
Watching over me

Why did I have to say goodbye
Why did you have to leave?
Now your angels in the sky
Watching over me
Watching over me

Overpopulation, too many mouths to feed
While others live in poverty, A couple dies in greed
Disease is running rampant, Whole populations lost
We’ve conquered our environment, but was it worth the cost
Isolated by Microsoft and drugged by Pioneer
Trying to escape our world through heroin and beer
Welcome to the millennium, say hello to fear
And if your looking for a ray of light, your not gonna find it here

Take a tour through bizarro world
It’s blacker then the night
Center stage in a blinding rage
Looking for a fight
Another war we’ll kill some more
Distract us from the pain
For all of us, nothing left for us
It’s a sickening red rain

We’re marching toward oblivion, we’re galloping towards hell
Lying face down in the shit, we pretend not to smell
All your weed and LSD, make you vegetate
You only talk get nothing done, in your semiconscious state
Your revolution failed, depression you can taste
All your talk and high ideals are all a fucking waste

Take a tour through bizarro world
It’s blacker then the night
Center stage in a blinding rage
Looking for a fight
Another war we’ll kill some more
Distract us from the pain
For all of us, nothing left for us
It’s a sickening red rain

Overpopulation, too many mouths to feed
While many live in poverty, a couple dies in greed
Hatred and hostility, friend is killing friend
Brother killing brother, is this the fucking end

Out of the ashes of the metal war
Six shadowy figures arise
Power and vengeance and hunger in their eyes
They carry on the fight
When the smoke clears and reveals the path
The six figures still stand
Beware the Wind Wraiths

At night I hear them call from the other side
When the mist is in they start to rise
Undead from the other side
They’ve come to take your life
Run and hide till the morning light

Can you hear their voices calling you
(Beware of the wind wraiths)
Eyes hungry seeing your demise
(Beware of the wind wraiths)
See their soulless craving in your eyes
(Beware of the wind wraiths)
When they’ve come there’s no way to survive

Just one touch freezes you
Chills you to the bone
Your skin begins to crawl and writhe with pain
You feel you’re in an endless game nowhere else to run
Now your life is over and it’s done

Can you hear their voices calling you
(Beware of the wind wraiths)
Eyes hungry seeing your demise
(Beware of the wind wraiths)
See their soulless craving in your eyes
(Beware of the wind wraiths)
When they’ve come there’s no way to survive

Can you hear their voices calling you
(Beware of the wind wraiths)
Eyes hungry seeing your demise
(Beware of the wind wraiths)
See their soulless craving in your eyes
(Beware of the wind wraiths)
When they’ve come there’s no way to survive

Can you hear their voices calling you
(Beware of the wind wraiths)
Eyes hungry seeing your demise
(Beware of the wind wraiths)
See their soulless craving in your eyes
(Beware of the wind wraiths)
When they’ve come there’s no way to survive

Oh Yeah!!
In my words I’m telling you
The opposite of what I’m feeling
When your near I feel the fear
I don’t agree with what I’m thinking
In my thoughts I know it’s wrong
But I can’t change just what I’m seeing

I have shameless desires
When I think of you
All these shameless desires
Wish you felt them too

You’re my friend, but that could end
Or would that change, if I told you of them
Can you see you and me, were meant to be together
Though you lie and deny, I can feel your shameless desires

I have shameless desires
When I think of you
All these shameless desires
Wish you felt them too

When I think of you!

I have shameless desires
When I think of you
All these shameless desires
Wish you felt them too

OHHH In 65’ the Defeo’s bought
The house that ended their lives
A sign out front said “High Hopes”
Describing how the family felt
Twisted dreams and haunted scenes
Filled the oldest sons mind
For many years we’ve wondered
How long he planned their demise

In Amityville there’s a horror
Six people dead in their sleep
They couldn’t run, they couldn’t hide
The sons a murdering freak
Stay away from that house
Or you’ll be the next to die
Spirits of the murdered still lurk inside
Keep the legend alive

Late one night in 74’
While oldest son was watching TV
Left the room went down the hall
His family fast asleep
He shot them dead while they slept
They had no chance to leave
On that night a family died
Forever in our minds

In Amityville there’s a horror
Six people dead in their sleep
They couldn’t run, they couldn’t hide
The sons a murdering freak
Stay away from that house
Or you’ll be the next to die
Spirits of the murdered still lurk inside
Keep the legend alive

Hello everybody,
This is Lukas Barnikoff from channel 5 news
With a late breaking story from Amityville, NY
Six members of the Defeo family
Were found shot in their home early this morning
The police have the eldest son in custody as suspect
This has been a special report

The game is winding down, my life is in decline
The sands of time are running out, soon I’m gonna die
I know I have to leave, it’s time I say goodbye
Will I go beyond and find my afterlife
Will death be my eternal sleep or will I be reborn
Nothing left to comfort me as I’m reaching for death’s door

Tempted by death
Tempted by death
Life moves to fast
Were tempted by death

The more I reach for life, it only drifts away
There’s no future now, we’re living day by day
Death is all around, it infiltrates our dreams
Life is just a waiting game, its shorter then it seems
Waiting for and dreading it, it’s the end of days
Watching as your body now surrenders to decay

Tempted by death
Tempted by death
Life moves to fast
Were tempted by death

Tempted by death
Tempted by death
Life moves to fast
Were tempted by death

Were tempted
Were tempted
Were tempted
Were tempted
By death

We ride, take the night on your side if you want to survive
Hold on, just remember be strong and see daylights dawn
With pride, the desire to fight with sword and shield by your side
We march, with our weapons in hand we’ll conquer the land
Carry on let our stories be told through the ancient tales

Tales of knights and maidens in trouble
Songs of the legends and battles they’ve one
Dragon’s and elves were the bedtime stories
Being passed on from father to son
Ancient tales of battles in the moonlight
Of power and glory they shall sing
Written in the pages past lies our future
Left through time for all of us to see
In times of kings and warriors almighty
Of these battle hymns they did sing
Of these ancient tales forgotten
Sit near the fire and I’ll share them with thee

With power, we’ll win this night and make it our finest hour
With honor, for the crown and the ring we’ll fight forever
Stand tall; we’re united as one and one for all
Stand strong, with steel and blood we’ll crush their bones
For glory, another village falls another story told

Tales of knights and maidens in trouble
Songs of the legends and battles they’ve one
Dragon’s and elves were the bedtime stories
Being passed on from father to son
Ancient tales of battles in the moonlight
Of power and glory they shall sing
Written in the pages past lies our future
Left through time for all of us to see
In times of kings and warriors almighty
Of these battle hymns they did sing
Of these ancient tales forgotten
Sit near the fire and I’ll share them with thee

Tales of knights and maidens in trouble
Songs of the legends and battles they’ve one
Dragon’s and elves were the bedtime stories
Being passed on from father to son
Ancient tales of battles in the moonlight
Of power and glory they shall sing
Written in the pages past lies our future
Left through time for all of us to see
In times of kings and warriors almighty
Of these battle hymns they did sing
Of these ancient tales forgotten
Sit near the fire and I’ll share them with thee

Come gather near
Listen to our stories of our ancient tales
