3 INCHES OF BLOOD LYRICS

1. Metal Woman

All eyes will turn to her when she has arrived
Se makes her presence felt each and every time
Her spikes will slash your skin
Your mind is full of sin
She bears a fierceness that you'll underestimate
Don't disrespect her or you she'll devastate
Her essence takes its toll
You're losing all control

She is a Metal Woman
Metal Woman

Decked out in studded leather, with looks that kill
The way she moves to metal gives us all a thrill
Her wiles on overload
We're ready to explode

She is a Metal Woman
Metal Woman
Metal Woman
Demon in the sack
Metal Woman
Ready to attack

[Solo: Hagberg]

Are you ready?
Bullet belt seduction
Lures you to the chase
Throws her chains around you
Pulls in for a taste
Black Widow wanting
Shows a glimpse of lace
Lust will betray you
She'll smash your face

Do not betray a Metal Woman
You'll be the prey of a Metal Woman
Don't turn your back on a Metal Woman
She stalks the night the Metal Woman
Do not cry out for a Metal Woman
The cold steel eyes of a Metal Woman

2. My Sword Will Not Sleep

The gravest insult upon my house
You have dared to slight my name
Betrayed allegiance, forsake the bond
Your demise is all i seek
No rest will I take from the hunt
You'll live in fear every day

I will have my revenge
You'll die by my hand

Day by day I follow you along your path
Your allies felled by my steel
My hate is endless, it knows no bounds
All of your lands are set ablaze

Once I've found you no mercy will I show

I will have my revenge
You'll die by my hand
Until I have your head
My sword will not sleep

I will dig your grave
into the shallow ground
The worms will feed upon the flesh
of your betrayal

[Solo: Clark]

You will answer for your crimes
I will be your judge
As long as you still breathe
My sword will not sleep

I've shed much blood and tears
For years I did hunt you down
Vengeance finally mine because
My sword did not sleep

3. Leather Lord

Failing light brings the darkest night
It’s the time he rules his domain
Those who fear when he draws near
Will be cast aside when he has come

He is the Leather Lord
Leather Lord

Spawned to fight for metal’s right
Without mercy he will crack the whip
Armour made of all the beasts he’s slain
The untrue are cut down
By his blade

He is the Leather Lord
Leather Lord

Wearing the hides of the traitors he kills
Skinning them alive
Tanning and crusting and dyeing their flesh
Amplifies his sex drive

Oh Lord of Leather

[Solo: Hagberg]

Reclaim the sound that’s gone underground
A false doctrine preached for far too long
In leather black he leads the charge
Reigning steel and vengeance for our kind

He is the Leather Lord

4. Chief And The Blade

[Instrumental]

5. Dark Messenger

Darkness has come, all hope is lost, evil has arrived
A sign of the times, we’re destined to fall, it’s the end of us all

Beware the omens that will give you final warning
You’ve heard them speak about the phantom in the woods
It casts a shadow on the people’s hopes and dreams
In the night, we all shiver when it screams

Worst is still yet to come, forfeit your life
The creature that haunts is only the first of an oncoming horror

Dark messenger, tidings of danger
Dark messenger, tidings of death

Pray to your God
It will not help
It was a lie
Set in the flames
Burn the decay of your foolish ways

There’s nothing you can do to stop this deadly force
A host of demon that will show you no remorse
The phantom’s gaze will drive you mad, or so it is told
No reason other than to terrorize your soul
Tremble and despair there is no way that you’ll be safe
Scorched by the hellfire, only ashes fill your grave

Dark messenger, speaks words of evil
Dark messenger, speaks of your death
Dark messenger brings no salvation
Dark messenger brings only pain

You heard the message, wait in anguish for the end
Best take your own life before the devil eats your flesh
There’s no defense against the slaughter of mankind
Behold the dawning of the ruler of the world

[Acoustic guitar: Clark]

6. Look Out

The world of metal
Was ruled by him for many years
Even though he's gone he will live on
He did reign on a silver mountain high
The spirit will not die
When you hear him coming

LOOK OUT [x6]

There was no equal
He was a legend of his time
A voice that always shines
brighter than a shooting star

Send you to Heaven and shoot you to Hell
He slayed the dragon each and every night
It was his right
A king among his kind
He shared his wisdom even to the last in line

The world now better having been touched by his gift
From the lowliest mortal to the Gods on high
A force to reckon for all eternity

You think you're ready, but you're not prepared
When you hear the sound

LOOK OUT [x3]

Send you to Heaven and shoot you to Hell
He slayed the dragon each and every night
It was his right
A king among his kind
He shared his wisdom even to the last in line
His glory is divine
Capturing the essence of all that's great and fine

[Solo: Clark]

He slayed the dragon each and every night
It was his right
A king among his kind
He shared his wisdom even to the last in line
That he was taken shed a tear
His legacy remains so he will never die
Be aware that he's coming for you

LOOK OUT [x3]

7. 4000 Torches

On a mission deliver the secret of kings
Watching the enemy lurking within
Reveal the plans that could take many lives
Danger will stalk every step that you take
Hide in shadow or they'll find you

One wrong step you have been seen
As you run your foes try and catch you
But you've been saved
By a light up ahead

By the light of 4000 torches
Reinforcements have come to defend
By the light of 4000 torches
A welcome sight for you has arrived

A melee ensues as you turn to fight
The odds are not hopeless you must survive

By luck you're given a chance to live on
Bare your teeth and kill for crown
Fight with heart before they strike you down

A scout you are a target for the kill
The keys you hold, allies will need them all
To stop a force coming to destroy
Through the fray the enemy seeks you out
But you must live for all could be lost

By the light of 4000 torches
Your countrymen will show you the way
By the light of 4000 torches
A turn of fate will carry you home

[Solo: Clark]

The day is won for you and your brothers
Many dead lie at your feet
Owe your life to those who fought with you
A victory worthy of song

By the light of 4000 torches
The blood that's spilled will not be yours
By the light of 4000 torches
The tables turned to favour your side
By the light of 4000 torches
You've been spared from meeting your end
By the light of 4000 torches
In Death's face you say not this day

8. Leave It On The Ice

A sharpened blade
The smell of sweat and
Pure aggression fills the air
A burning flame
Even though it's cold your veins will burn
Scream along the boards, hard and fast
A goal in sight, you're almost there
Standing in your way, a gang of foes
There to take you down,
Give 'em all you've got

The challenge made
Leave it on the ice
Defend your team
Leave it on the ice

[Solo: Clark]

A crushing blow, Incur the wrath
You are the target
You're in his sights
A restless crowd

You must satisfy their violent lust
Throw down the gloves, look him in the eye
Your fists are primed to hit their mark
Swinging hard and fast, striking true
The crimson flies

His teeth knocked out
Leave it on the ice
Your opponent's down
Leave it on the ice

Hold nothing back, Leave it on the ice
Honour satisfied, Leave it on the ice

When rivals clash the blood will flow
No matter where you think it should go

A fighting game
Leave it on the ice
Unleash the beast
Leave it on the ice
A victory earned
Leave it on the ice
Hear the roaring crowd
Leave it on the ice

Out of the cage to fight once more
The score is settled here and now

9. Die For Gold (Upon The Boiling Sea IV)

Surrounded by the spoils that piracy has earned
Protect your treasure horde
From those you think would steal
Alone for many years long ago your fat was sealed
Paranoia permeates, imprisoned by your selfish hate

You think you're seeing thieves
Hallucinations drive you mad
Only fighting with yourself,
Because there's no one there

You life's been paved with greed only cared
For gaining wealth
Spite the gods too many times
At the cost of ship and crew
Now an island's your abode,
With the riches of a king
None of it can you ever spend,
Will you repent your wicked ways

Never freedom from this curse
To spend eternity like this
Impossible to break these chains
You only wish that you could die

Die for gold [x3]
You only wish that you could die
Die for gold [x3]

[Solo: Clark]

Your dreams not realized,
Tormented for your deeds
A punishment that fits the sin
Never sail the seas again

Make your bed on a pile of gems,
An empire of lonely rule
Despair turns to insanity
Your skin turns a precious gleam

The sea god's made his point
He cares not for your remorse
You withheld Poseidon's share
Immortal sentence, You can't die

Die for gold [x3]
You only wish that you could die
Die for gold [x3]
You only wish that you could die

10. Storming Juno

Advance across the channel towards impending doom
A chance you may not live to see another day
The beach is getting closer
You're sickened by the fear
Men will die around you
Today remember what they've done

In a wave of allied force
Valour beats inside their hearts
They set the standard for the best
Carrying the fate of man
The objective must be reached
Run across the battlefield
A push to break the tyrant's hold
Make the greatest sacrifice

The enemy does their worst,
But your goal is taken first
The strength to always take 'em down
Victory is in reach
Storming Juno beach
Catalyst to win the day

[Solo: Hagberg]

Winded by the shockwave
Bullets grazed my body
Listening to the sounds of all my brothers dying
I may live to see my family again
But Juno I'll re-live until my final day

Terrified by all the sights that you're around
Bodies of your brothers that lay
Shattered on the ground
No time to cry you'll shed your tears
When you succeed
Battle through the chaos
All the courage you will need

Adrenaline takes over the horrors you now see
Bullets turn the flesh and sea to bloody red
Rallying your forces courage finds a way
Survive this hell on earth lay it all out on the line
Charge towards the turret
Scream louder than the guns
No mercy for the scourge
No one will forget this day

Valour beats inside their hearts
In a wave of allied force
Carrying the fate of man
They set the standard for the best
Run across the battlefield
The objective must be reached
Make the greatest sacrifice
A push to break the tyrant's hold

The enemy does their worst,
But your goal is taken first
The strength to always take 'em down
Victory is in reach
Storming Juno beach
Turning point in bloody war

11. Men Of Fortune

Across the desert sands and deep into the briny sea
Take ourselves to the limit
To the threshold of our wildest dreams
Our desire knows no bounds
All the treasure we must have
We want it! We want it!
We stake our rightful claim

Rise to the challenge
For glorious triumph we claim
Men of Fortune
We accept spoils or death

To the ends of the earth
Men of Fortune we are
All the glory we seek will be ours
No limitations, to the danger we scorn
Men of Fortune will always go far

No challenge is too great
No object to hard to obtain
Scour through the oldest ruins for the relics
that would bring eternal wealth
We've always been prepared,
Adventure found at every turn
Boldly moving forward
So our names will live on through history

[Solo: Hagberg]

To the end of the earth
Men of Fortune we are
All the glory we seek will be ours
'Til the end of our days
Men of Fortune we are

[Solo: Hagberg, Clark]

Rise to the challenge
For glorious triumph we claim
Men of Fortune
We accept spoils or death

'Till the end of our days
Men of Fortune we are
All will know of the legends we made
Through the ages our stories will be told
Men of fortune for evermore

12. One For The Ditch

[Instrumental]
