LYRICS

Do you feel?
That this is for real
Do you know
The power you show
Is there time
Left to rewind
Can you go
To what we left behind

If you wanna know why
I can help you decide
The music you want

Minions of metal
Minions of metal
Minions of metal

Can you see
The powers that be
Do you know
Which way to go

If you wanna know why
I can help you decide
The music you want

Minions of Metal

Minions of metal
Minions of metal
Minions of metal

The power you'll find
As one we will shine
So do you feel
As one we are real

If you wanna know why
I can help you decide
The music you want

If you wanna know why
I can help you decide
The music you want

Minions of metal

Oh ohhhhhh, oh
Out of the light
We ride and divide
With black hearts and souls we find
We reach for the theme
Kill and we dream
To crown our glory sign

The legends and myths
The violence we spit
Will all come to pass our way
Our wings will be strong
And it wont be long
To play in the fruits of our soul

The good and the bad always find out
Black hearts on both sides
Into the eternal void
Eternal void, ohhhh

Black are the souls
Obtaining a goal
We reach for the torch they hold
We commence to sin and not always win
We must pray for freedom

The good and the bad always find out
Black hearts on both sides
Into the eternal void
ohhhh

Don’t deny life you only get death
That’s all we can gaurentee

Out of the light
We ride and divide
With black hearts and souls we find
We reach for the theme
Kill and we dream
To crown our glory sign

The good and the bad always find out
Black hearts on both sides
Into the eternal void
Eternal void, ohhhh

Childrens cries, Living lies
The nightmare will unfold
Endless sleep from restless dreams
A grip of fear takes hold

In my dreams they seem so real
The screaming, death and pain
Will I ever see tomorrows light
Or will I die in vain

In this nightmare that we call our own
The fear of things made flesh and bone
In this nightmare that we call our own

Darkness calls,As sun rise falls
The dreams return again
Seeing clear all the fears
Will the nightmare end
In my dreams they seem so real
The screaming, death and pain
Will I ever see tomorrows light
Or will I fade away

In this nightmare that we call our own
The fear of things made flesh and bone
In this nightmare that we call our own

Childrens cries, Living lies
The nightmare will unfold
Endless sleep from restless dreams
Will the nightmares hold

In my dreams they seem so real
The screaming, death and pain
Will I ever see tomorrows light
Or will I fade away
Fade away

In this nightmare that we call our own
The fear of things made flesh and bone
In this nightmare that we call our own

Chasing whats been done before
Aint my way of riding anymore
Not that it ever was
And times still changing

So follow me down to the water
And we'll drown tomorrow together

Wont go away
Past memories on your mind
And if you want to heal them
Drown your sorrows in the lake of time

So follow me down to the water
And we'll drown tomorrow together

Chasing whats been done before
Aint my way of riding anymore
Not that it ever was
And times still changing

So follow me down to the water
And we'll drown tomorrow together

So follow me down to the water
And we'll drown tomorrow together

We'll drown together
We'll drown tomorrow
We'll drown together, we'll drown forever

Here come the mystic ones
The fires on our side
Turn winds of change
Dark season on the rise
A vallant mystic night
Dark secrets from his past
Come back to haunt his brother
Behind an iron Mask

Screams, fallen heros mourn their loss
Lives, drop dead in sudden force
A race for time all evil that is lost
Rage and hate have all but set its course

They fought a bloody battle
One hundred years ago
And many evil ones
Killed innocent souls
So now the curse is born
One brother left to mourn
The other in the mask
His future now gone

Screams, fallen heros mourn their loss
Lives, drop dead in sudden force
A race for time all evil that is lost
Rage and hate have all but set its course

I am behind an iron mask
No one here to ask me why
This face that I have lost
Behind the iron mask

So many lies we hide behind
The truths hidden in evil cold eyes
Lies torn down to set me free
To hope to pray for all to see
Behind this mask my life is torn
Without this hold I am reborn

They came to give us strength
To fight the evil minds
The prophets filled the stone that
They now leave behind
Turns out the war was left to
Cure all mankind
And so the battles won and
Evil falls behind

Screams, fallen heros mourn their loss
Lives, drop dead in sudden force
A race for time all evil that is lost
Rage and hate have all but set its course

I am behind an iron mask
No one here to ask me why
This face that I have lost
Behind the iron mask

In the dark here
I am seen by the eyes of a child
In the dark here
I am bound by the eyes of a stranger
And no one sees I am Danger

When I step into the light
Earth and time will now collide
When I step into the light
The sun and moon will divide

Stuck in a strange world
As I came from the heavens above
Im in a strange world
In this place with no light or no love
In this place with no light and no love

When I step into the light
Earth and time will now collide
When I step into the light
The sun and moon will divide

Stranger in the sky
Dont ask me why?
Stranger in the sky
Don't ever ask me why
Straner in the sky
Don't ask me why

Here I am now
Stuck in a frozen shade of time
Here I am now
In this waste land I call my mind
In this waste land I call my mind

I was born of chaos
Baptized in blood
I was cast from heaven
To rule in hell

I am the fallen angel
I lost my wings
I am the fallen angel
I shall have my revenge

I am pain, I am hate
I am suffering, I have no fate
I am the fallen one
The fallen one
The fallen one
The fallen one

I am the master of evil
I rule the night
I sit upon my throne
In my castle of gold

I am the fallen angel
I have no wings
I am the fallen angel
I shall have my revenge

I am pain, I am hate
I am suffering, I am your fate
I am the fallen one
The fallen one
The fallen one
The fallen one

Eyes from heaven, looking down
Casting shamefull gaze
Tears of mourning, fill their eyes
As my soul burns with hate

Eyes from heaven, looking down
Casting shamefull gaze
Tears of mourning, fill their eyes
As my soul burns with hate
As my soul burns, burns with hate

The fallen one
The fallen one
The fallen one

How far will we go
Is there more then we now know
We've come so far yet so near
All the lives, in desperate times

Twisting and turning
We'll feed the fire still burning
And burn through time
On the road to glory we rise, we rise
Road to glory, Road to glory

Up over head, One slip and you'll end up dead

How much do we know
Is there more then we now know
We left and fell behind
We left and fell behind
We left and fell behind
We left and fell behind

Twisting and turning
We'll feed the fire still burning
We'll burn through time
On the road to glory we rise, we rise
Road to glory, Road to glory

Up over head, One slip and you'll end up dead
All that rage inside,the fire will burn alive

Fire from below,burns against your soul
Fire from below, burns against the world
Can you feel the flames, burning in your world
Can you feel the flames, burning in your world
Burn, Burn, Burn, In your world

Fire from below,burns against your soul
Fire from the world,fire in your soul

How far will we go
Is there more then we now know

Twisting and turning
We'll feed the fire still burning
And burn through time
On the road to glory we rise, we rise
Road to glory, Road to glory

Up over head, One slip and you'll end up dead
All that rage inside,the fire will burn alive

Road to Glory.....Rise

There’s blood on my hands
There’s blood in the streets
Broken visions with sawdust dreams
Time to kill you and face defeat
Theres blood on my hands
And blood in the streets

Im so primed in a bloodbath
I'm so primed in a bloodbath

Childrens crying and people dying
Its all in vain. all in vain
Childrens dying, people crying
Children dying in vain

We all came to kill
Bloodbath in our hands
We all came to kill
Bloodbath in our hands
We all came to kill
Bloodbath in our hands
Bloodbath in our hands

Killing towns and killing cries
Killing living you will die
I cant hear you, you little fools
I will kill you its all I do

We all came to kill
Bloodbath in our hands
We all came to kill
Bloodbath in our hands
We all came to kill
Bloodbath in our hands
Bloodbath in our hands

I hear crying in a bloodbath
You klll me, I kill you
You kill me, I kill you
Its what we do, what we do

There’s blood on my hands
There’s blood in the streets
Broken visions with sawdust dreams
Time to kill you and face defeat
Theres blood on my hands
And blood in the streets

We all came to kill
Bloodbath in our hands
We all came to kill
Bloodbath in our hands
We all came to kill
Bloodbath in our hands
Bloodbath in our hands

Holding on for one more day
Can’t escape another way
I’m going down devils road
Things are ready to explode

Here we go?
Here we go?

On the devils path
Lost my soul on the devils path
On the devils path
Took a wrong turn down the devils path
On the devils path
Lost my way on the devils path

Running down these evil roads
No one here will ever know
The horror satan now has shown
He is never not alone

Here we go
Here we go

Here we go down devils road

On the devils path
Lost my soul on the devils path
On the devils path
Took a wrong turn down the devils path
On the devils path
Lost my way on the devils path

He's haunting you, he's taunting you
He's haunting you again
He's haunting you, he's taunting you
He's haunting you again

Hahaha, down devils path

Double trouble stranger
And the dogs of doom howl low
I see them over my shoulder
They're coming at my back
I draw my mighty sword, I swing as they attack
Come on lets fight

Let the blood run red, let them all be dead
All those who oppose the Metal Avenger
Look them in the eyes, knock them down to size
No one must oppose the Metal Avenger

Who dares to fight the hunter, the pile of bodies grow
I see them in the distance, they're coming at each side
My sword runs them through, till all of them subside
Come on now!

Let the blood run red,let them all be dead
All those who oppose the Metal Avenger
Look them in the eyes, knock them down to size
No one must oppose the Metal Avenger

How can I show you I'm better than you
Just look at my fist and see what I do!

Double trouble stranger,the battle takes it's toll
I see them in the distance,their coming at each side
I draw my mighty hammer and slam as they attack
Let's fight

Let the blood run red,let them all be dead
No one must oppose the Metal Avenger
Look them in the eyes, knock them down to size
No one must oppose the Metal Avenger

Let the blood run red
Let the blood run red
Let the blood run red
Let the blood run red
Let the blood run red
Let the blood run red
Let them all be dead
Let the blood run red

A Musical Journey

The much anticipated sophmore album for band Minions of Metal did not disappoint. It brought a new streamlined sound and even more diversity in music styling. Having now moved from the defunct Iron Glory Records to Battle Cry Records the second album began its recording process. And like all things great conflicts arose, the band would see the departure of Brian Fingerhut and Brian Hobbie due to creative differences. Long time friend and Bass player Anthony Paganini stepped for the the low end duty. Then we found the lead guitarist in none other then a Maiden tribute band in Nick Trotti. Nick and Pat shared a multitude of the same influences in bands and musicians which would lead to more solide writing for the album.



A Journey Through Sound and Emotion

The album received many positive reviews. Complimenting the new direction of the band and the maturity in the sound. The album left many fans awaiting the next helping of Wind Wraith and to see what the band had next on its plate
