1. The Power That Feeds

Inhabitants of this planet
All that you know is at an end...
There is no escape, there is no hope...
There is only doom!!
I am the power that feeds on faith and prophecy
Behold the science of annihilation!!

2. Planet Crusher

[Music: Garcia / Peck, Lyrics: Peck]

Our peaceful world
Was ripe for the taking
Forgotten were the ways of war
His Herald and Harbinger came from the heavens
Saying you will be no more
He had no expression
Showed no emotion
His skin it gleamed like a pearl
There is no escape from my master he said
For he is the devourer of worlds

[Lead Garcia]

Devourer of worlds
All of our forces combined
Were useless against his assault
He swatted us down with effortless care
Bringing our world to a halt
Since the beginning of time
He has revenged through systems
And fed on the hearts of the stars
In the fabric of space
Lies his path of destruction
Littered with sorrow and scarred
One by one world after world
Galaxies tremble in fear
Horrible screams in the vacuum of space
Cries that no one will fear

Planet Crusher feed to survive
Planet Crusher none left alive
Devastator death from the sky
Your creator has left you to die
Devourer of worlds
Master of time master of space
Ravage your world and wipe out your race
Master of speed master of death
Fall to your knees
And take your last breath

[Lead Mcginnis]

Nothing can harm him
Nothing can stop him
Save the deprivation of food
He has no allegiance
Shows no alignment
Is neither evil nor good
His ambivalent anger is ruled by thirst
He speeds through wormholes and time
So look to the sky and pray to your god
Your homeworld won't be next in line

[Chorus]

Planet crusher devourer of worlds

3. Scarlet Witch

[Music: Garcia / Peck, Lyrics: Peck]

I awoke from my sleep
Terror constricting me tight
Something quite wicked
Has come for my spirit tonight
There in the trees a woman was floating on air
Just like bloody crimson
Her billowing dress and her hair
She'll curse you with her evil eye
Into the blackest night she'll fly
Seduction by forbidden sex
You will fall victim to her hex
The Scarlet Witch
She's taking to flight again
The Scarlet Witch
I'm under her spell again
The Scarlet Witch
She's looking for love again
The Scarlet Witch
She sails on the southern wind

[Lead Mcginnis]

Daring to look my eyes were drawn to her face
I was her chosen that is why
She had come to this place
I felt myself losing control
Falling under her spell
The shame of my actions
Are details I can't ever tell

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

With a word and the tail of a rat
By the door her prowling black cat
Chains on my wrists locked to the floor
She used me in unimaginable ways
Sadistic pleasure scratching my back
I served her needs until my bones cracked
The only way she knows how to love
My will has finally begun to succumb

[Lead Garcia / Lead Mcginnis]

Savage seduction poison from venomous lips
Men turned to slaves
Victims from her evil kiss
By the queen of all covens
All of the kings have been cursed
I was the last to resist now completely I'm hers

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

Beware the witch burn alive tonight

4. Spirit Of Vengeance

[Music: Mcginnis / Peck / Garcia, Lyrics: Peck]

I sold my soul to the Devil
I sacrificed myself for one I had to save
Now I roam the road
Dressed in black leather
A flaming skeleton
That's wrapped with spikes and chains
I live my life alone
No turning back
Ill turn your soul to stone
My reasons are my own
So stare deep in my eyes
The evil inside you
Will eat you alive
Wheels burning the night
The spirit of vengeance
Will be by your side

[Lead Garcia]

Satanic speed avenging angel
Many mortal fool
Have challenged me and failed
Upon my steed I search for danger
The flesh of enemies
Beneath my wheels impaled

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

Ghost rider
Speeding, leaving
A terrible trail of fire
In the presence of evil
I change and I leave
All the wicked people to die
Blazing, razing
Hell hath no fury like mine
Like festering maggots
Feeding on flesh
On the souls of sinners I dine
My victims scream
The pay their penance
My brutal means are just my dark way to an end
their twisted dreams
No longer menace
I am a nightmare
All the righteous I defend

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

Spirit of Vengeance

5. Black River Falls

[Music: Garcia, Lyrics: Peck]

Deep in the cold midwestern snow way back in 1899
A wicked evil seemed to grow
It's taking over people's mind
Come here my child let me inside
No get away my head!
I have a mission for you and your friends
Help make the towns people dead
Madness is taking them over tonight
Madness will soon take its hold
Madness is taking them over tonight
Evil it lives in the cold
Little children it's in their minds
Little children lurk in the night
Little children why won't they die?
Little children lightning the fire!
Back in black river falls
Back in black river falls
Miss Watson gave birth to a child
Before it took its final breath
Her guilty conscience drove her wild
And so she choked her son to death
Infant disease flew on the breeze
Madness enveloped the town
Men went insane deeds so profane
Buildings were burnt to the ground

[Pre-chorus]

Little children it's in their yes
Little children gather tonight
Little children wicked children
Deadly children post

[Chorus]

Father can you hear me?
I've been taken by something I can't explain
The voices in the darkness
Have told us to punish you all!
Father you should fear me
My mind it is possessed by an evil entity
This shameful place is forsaken
Poisoned by the sickness in all of you
We are coming tonight
Rising from their beds eyes were glowing red
One by one the cut the people down
Chaos filled the streets
Blood was running deep
Nothing was left living in the town

[Lead Garcia]

The morning sun shined on the scene
Such horror that cannot be said
The children wiped the village
Clean all of their parents lie there dead!

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

6. Operation Overlord

[Music: Mcginnis, Lyrics: Peck]

Rushing to the shore
Splashing metal gates
Oh the time has come
For the bravest of the brave
Overwhelming force
By the thousands we invade
we must prevail and win the longest day
To win the fight
The nations on this day unite
By land and sea the air we breathe
We charge on blindly to the fire
Rise up and face the terror of tyranny
Break out fury will seal their fate
A state of total war
The world wont be the same
The bodies and the bullets fall like rain
Charging to the wall
The sand is bloody stained
Our soldiers die
But our courage still remains

[Chorus]

It's up to us again
Before all is lost
Two hundred thousand men
Will defeat and crush the iron cross

[Lead Mcginnis]

Shattered bone and blood
Battleships and planes
The tyrant's fall
We've broken them again
The pounding heavy guns
We're fearless yet afraid
A heavy price our dead have surely paid
God bless them all and glory to the brave!

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

7. Power Of A God

[Music: Peck / Mcginnis / Garcia, Lyrics: Peck]

Out of the emptiness
A flash engulfed the blackness of the night
On the seventh day
He waved his hand
And said let there be light
Out of the Vastness if the universe
He made he lives alone
His infinite omnipotence
Scans everything from high atop hos throne
behold power of life
Power to kill bend to the will power of a God
Tremble in fear all who believe
Fall to your knees power of a God!
Flashing thunderbolts
And lightning liquefied the cosmic sky
Within a storm one lone blue planet
Formed itself within the eye
This was the one place God did designate
We congregate and breed
Such understanding
Is commanding you to purify belief

[Chorus]

[Lead Mcginnis]
[Lead Garcia]

Slicing through eons
He carves up the heavens
With his celestial swarm
Blasting creation without hesitation
Vengeance is mine sayeth the lord
Galactic equation
Of pain and salvation
As dreams of oblivion soar
Incomprehensible
Not very sensible endless inaudible roar
Countless ages passed
At last he then sat up and judged it all
The foolish ways of man had sickened him
In fact he was appalled
So with a gesture this whole mess here
With no second thought erased
The wise beyonder then did to ponder
Just how we would be replaced

[Chorus]

Rise to your feet
Join us and fell a power that is real

8. Speed Kills

[Music: Garcia / Peck, Lyrics: Peck]

On the horizon I scan the debris
Straight into danger I charge as they flee
My mission is clear now I know why they call
They've sent for the wrecker to vanquish them all
Once I was innocent once I knew love
They took from me everything was enough
There by the fire my red silhouette
Now I'm the mistake they won't live to regret
Born out of anger and strengthened by pain
He kills for the thrill now he's come back again
Don't beg him for mercy just pray for your life
His red shadow hunting for victims tonight
Speed kills violently shaking
Speed kills breaking apart
Speed kills disintegrating
Speed kills pounding your heart

[Lead Garcia]

Immovable object unstoppable force
Violently meeting I show no remorse
My enemies gather they stand in a line
Merciless judgement one life at a time
Under his cloak at the stroke of midnight
His infrared stare glaring laser red sights
Only in whispers they tell of his tale
Many have faced him and many have failed

[Chorus]

Twisted forms that onde had souls
Now dead eyes stare under control
Armed with rage and poisoned minds
They fall before my death design
Racing forth to take my life
Under this sacred moonlit night
With my steel they'll meet their end
To the abyss they all descend
Your power has faced its meeting its end
my silence so deadly no way to defend
This desolate city no longer alive
I'm taking it over now all this is mine

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

Fast as a bullet fast as a shark
My killing addiction is deadly and dark
Faster than life faster than death
Faster and faster till nothing is left
Speed kills!

9. Stranger In Black

[Music: Garcia, Lyrics: Peck]

Just out of prison and everything sucks
I am the king of bad luck
Hitchhiked to barstow then stole a car
Ten bucks in my pocket won't get me too far
Looking for action rage until I drop
Then in my rearview the lights of a cop
Catch me or kill me I'm not going back
Foot to the floor all dressed in black
I follow the lines on the road
Trouble wherever I go
Don't trust the eyes of a stranger in black
Thrill of a lifetime taking what is not mine
Bringing the pain is my addiction
Breaking their faces leaving no traces
Being insane is my affliction
Open the register give me the cash
Hand me your keys the last car I crashed
Don't you resist me I'm liable to freak
I prey on the innocent feed on the weak
My life has no meaning and yours even less
Crime is the way that I handle my stress
So liberating to have no regard
So pour me a drink and deal me some cards

[Chorus]

and right when you think I'm gone I'll come again
I follow the lines on the road trouble wherever I go
Don't trust the eyes a stranger in black
Nowhere to call a place home no one will leave me alone
No wonder I ended up living my life the way that I do

[Lead Mcginnis]
[Lead Garcia]

A bottle of whiskey a 12 pack of beer
Drinking and smoking while truing to steer
Cigarette ashes that fall to the floor
My dark sunglasses all things I adore
A larcenous living is not for the faint
I ain't no devil but I ain't no saint
So don't ever knock what you never will try
If you say your life is fulfilled I tell you you die

[Chorus]

10. Die Glocke

[Music: Garcia, Lyrics: Peck]

A secret of the darkest kind
A legion of 62 scientific minds
The black sun did command
Make a weapon that no man
Or army could withstand
Gerlach would lead them all
A burden that he bore
Succeed and win the war
Build a force that's irresistible
the source of their demise
proportions so combustible
Our victims vaporized
Violence so unstoppable
We're born to terrorize
Fight fight for your life fight to the death die glocke
Fight stand up and fight fight to death die glocke
They constructed the device
In a polish mine deep as hell
Tortured steel with the shape of a massive bell
From the north tower to the nest
Take seven of your best and proceed with the first test
The chamber fired a flash then quantum theory crashed
The men were turned to ash
They turned on the machine
And they heard the engine whine
Black technology xerum 525
Magnetic alchemy that no life form can survive
Astonished by this wonder weapon
Twisting space and time

[Chorus]

[Lead Mcginnis]

The called the mine the beehive for the wicked sound it made
Near the polish border it was buried like a grave

[Lead Garcia]

All was lost for the Reich it was axis denied
General Sporrenberg had a cure to prescribe
For silence to remain
And the Reich to live again all 62 were slain
No one was left to talk
They flooded all the rock
And saved us from die glocke
How did the bell just disappear
And vanish with no trace
Some say it's in the amazon a secret Nazi base
Or buried in Antarctica amongst the frozen waste
Or did it fall in Kecksburg from Andromedean space

[Chorus]

Die glocke

11. Spectre Of War

[Music: Garcia / Peck, Lyric: Peck]

My last drop of blood has fled from my wounds
Now I'm returning to dust
For glory and country I've given my life
Now I'm just a memory lost
Memory lost
My last living thoughts they flash through my mind
As I see in the distance a light
I summon my last ounce of strength bright
Lead me to paradise
Hear me my love as I call out your name
Call to you for the last time
find solace and comfort in knowing the truth
The truth that this is not goodbye is not goodbye
My heartbeat is fading
My vision is weak as I lay amongst bodies and sand
Violence and love are both gifts from above
But war is the folly of man
All shield your eyes from the spectre of war
Justice is blind but not for the spectre of war
Tyrannic designs raises the spectre of war
Haunting our minds is the spectre of war

12. Science Of Annihilation

[Music: Garcia / Peck, Lyric: Peck]

Slain upon the battlefield somehow I didn't die
I rose to stand upon my feet then soared up to the sky
My mind became injected with the knowledge of all time
Some men call me the spectre beware my watchful eye
Now you will fall before the dread of my might
Pray pray for the dawn of first light a fate worse than death
Science of annihilation
Charge into the breach of the fight Rage raging with no end in sight
No turning back science of annihilation
The spectre of war is looming tonight
I am the injector beware of my sight
The spectre of war all shall obey I am destructor of all I survey
The spectre of war The spectre of war
The spectre of war is looming tonight
They knew me by so many names a pagan god of war
For centuries I roamed the earth now legendary lore
The battle lines have been drawn we may not see the dawn
Chaos and order divide religion and science collide
Atoms and molecules spirits and souls
Master creator meets master control
Fret for your life should the spectre appear
For he's a foreshadowing soothsaying seer

[Lead Mcginnis]

I became immortal with the power of a God
Reborn I did manipulate the scores of kings and pawns
These wars I did facilitate this world was full of sin
Watching men kill other men and kill and kill again
See how they...

[Chorus]

[Post chorus]

[Lead Garcia]

The spectre of war some men call me
The spectre
Beware my watchful eye

13. At The Edge Of Infinite

[Music: Garcia / Peck, Lyric: Peck]

Deep into the future
I went as far and fast as I could
It was there at the edge of the infinite
On the precipice I stood
Show yourself to me I cried!
Have you nothing at all to say
Like no time ever before
He appeared without delay
At last he had finally come to me
To me finally he spoke
Although my power was nearly limitless
It was always his name that they invoked
Is this the end asked?
As the last of the galaxies fell into the void
His silent voice was all encompassing
Half amused and part annoyed You are the last to ask he said
And so I leave it up to you to decide
Then yes let this be the end
Let this be the end of it all I replied
I then watched as the last star flickered
Extinguished by the billowing black
As my consciousness gently faded
I knew nothing would ever come back
