Holy

Respect our rotten life
Better not be hypnotised this time
You talk a heavy load
A mental overdose you're slime


Open up your mind
Welcome to the gates of nowhere
Freedom's not for sale
We are the right - ¡®cause we are the law


So back off - power in a minute
Back off - bastard hard and combat high
Back off - power is a winner
Back off - don't you cross this line


We're true and metalised
These crazy territorial nights
¡®n' red-hot burning roads
We are the predators of life


Bridge


So back off - gotta be a limit
Back off - bastard hard and combat high
Back off - power is a winner
Back off - don't you cross this line


Chorus

Night after night
Day after day
Hours and seconds to go


Dying of fright
Nothing to say
I've got no money to show


Picking at the bits and pieces of this puzzle game
Educated reasons why i have to wear this shame


Hey you - cut me out
Come back - and put my money down
Hey you - what have i done to you
Don't - don't spread the news around


Dreams in my sleep
Are tales from the cards
I see the final countdown


Reptiles that creep
Pushing me hard
Making me go one more round


Just another night - begging for mercy
What can i do - pleading ¡®n' searching
In the night


Chorus


Bridge


Chorus

Thunder roads in action
Horizon's all the same
That's the big attraction
Come on join the game


Brothers out of time
¡®n' chasing down the line
Mighty eagles rage into the sky


Ride the storm - now and tomorrow
Faster and so far
Ride the storm - no hidden sorrows
¡®n' aiming for the stars


The colour black's for leather
Metal engines howl
¡®n' ride the storm together
Tailpipes gonna growl


Bridge


Chorus


We ride the iron horses
¡®n' freedom in the heart
We never will surrender
We are the breed apart


Chorus

Many years ago
My heart and soul was full of fire
Breaking heads - hit and run
And the sun was brighter


So wild and reckless
Cared about no law and order
We used to ram - the black and whites
They called a six-one-niner


Those were my glory days
Just bad-boys-crazy-ways
My wild-man-holy-times
I always shot on sight


And i recall the sin
And i recall the sin


In many sleepless nights
I found the dream i'm missing
Kicking ass - living fast
Been living in a prison


Time to change the colours
Sweep away the madness
Here i come - back for good
Say good-bye to sadness


Bridge


Chorus

Welcome to the madness
Of symptomatic rule
It's deadly and it's reckless
Another one is fooled


Miniature devices
The ears within the walls
Stiletto knives and cameras
To document it all


And the stream of data flows - endless
Police protection grows - it's here to stay


Another state run - state run operation
Another state run - state run operation


Under observation
Disloyalty is out
Covert operations
That's what it's all about


Hidden automatics
Activate the fuse
Forbidden terror tactics
The system is in use


Bridge


Chorus


Finger pointing accusations - they deny
Governmental legislation - why
Immovable and firm positions - don't defy
Supremacy and allegations - part of life


Chorus

Well, the lightning flashed at midnight
And the dogs did howl along
You don't believe it - unless you've seen it
It was the night the thunder broke


There is no more creation
No room for good - no hope
You better cry for salvation - as
The reaper dangled by the rope


A scream for help - the morning after
They'd equalised the score
And in their minds - there's only laughter
A smile - without a cause


And there was thunder in the tower
As the cat crept out
There was thunder in the tower
There's no escape - no doubt


It's been the night the birds were silent
And the town was deadly still
A curling lip - an icy grip
¡®n' bony fingers that can kill


Assembling in the tower
The payment bloody high
They tried to cheat their final hour
He's gonna get them eye to eye


Bridge


And there was thunder in the tower
Screaming silence in the air
There was thunder in the tower
Awesome power ev'rywhere


And there was thunder in the tower
They didn't care it's right or wrong
There was thunder in the tower
And the reaper came along


Chorus
