1. Undisputed
He's king of the world
On top of his game
He only holds back
To take perfect aim
He turns days to nights
With all that he has
A signature blow
Turns jaws into glass
Opponents line up as they meet him
And watch as they fall one by one
The title is held by the leader
He gets there by shock and by stun
Ready to fight and to make it all right
He's the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world
Taking the prize to dismiss and demise
He's the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world
The undisputed heavyweight champion of the world
So easy to judge
The temper that boils
He'll take the mistakes
To the victor the spoils
Pugnacious and firm
Combative by rule
The charm's in his fist
So pity the fool
Don't step in the ring, or its owner
Enables that justice prevails
It's hard to give in and then own up
No limits when you're hard as nails
Bring it all on and do what must be done
He's the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world
Give up your hopes you'll be left on the ropes
He's the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world
The undisputed heavyweight champion of the world
A battle of wits
That's made in the mind
With physical force
He's cruel to be kind
The struggle's within
The outcome is plain
The effort pays back
And nothings in vain
Opponents line up as they meet him
And watch as they fall one by one
The title is held by the leader
He gets there by shock and by stun
Time to make peace or to beg for release
He's the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world
Look in the face of the deadly embrace
He's the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world
The undisputed heavyweight champion of the world
2. Fire And Ice
Radiator radio the energy and afterglow
That keeps me comin' back to what you give
You say the things I want to hear and every night you make it clear
The messages you send out make me live
[Chorus]
Fire and ice, I know you're waiting for me
Staying alive with all the love, love in your heart
Don't ever think twice as far as the eye can see you
You're never alone when you're with me
We'll always be like fire and ice
Every day and every night
The sounds you make me feel alright
That keeps me going strong
With what you say
You've been with me through thick and thin
You held me up when I gave in
A friend for life
That's with me every way
[Repeat chorus]
3. Made Of Metal
[Chorus]
Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal racing alien beings
Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal rides a laser beam
He descends from the sky
And he's ready to die for the thrill
When the predator falls
Your fate will be called by his will
Reeling you into a climax crescendo of sound
[Repeat chorus]
You have no time
He can turn on a dime with his stare
Spins you around and he's taking you down
He don't care
Stay out of his way or you know you're gonna pay eating wall
[Repeat chorus]
Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal it's a NASCAR dream
Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal it's a nitro scene
Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal it's a NASCAR dream
Super sonic silver flying machine
Made of metal it's a hot rod scream
Super sonic silver flying machine...
4. Speed Of Sound
I'm always there but never seen
I live inside you like a scream
Let it be known as I attest
I never sleep I never rest
Just like a fighter with his stealth
We don't need fame we don't need wealth
To find the heroes in our selves
I can hear you, I can see you, I can feel you
Speed of sound
The world is ours so understand
No matter what we take the land
Identified by how we look
To recognize the ground we took
This bond can't break through thick and thin
The blood runs red under each skin
We know our kind when we begin
I can hear you, I can see you, I can feel you
Speed of sound
I dedicate myself I must
And forge against who are unjust
A brotherhood born out of trust
I can hear you I can see you, I can feel you
Speed of sound
5. Like There's No Tomorrow
One chance, one dream for you
No limits to deny
Move on and grab the prize
Like diamonds in the sky
[Bridge]
Stay strong and you'll believe
Stay strong and then you'll see
[Chorus]
Beg steal or borrow
Like there's no tomorrow
Your fortune is fleeting
But love has no bounds
Dare to be open
Your wild heart has spoken
Each one of us has
What we know must be found
Must be found
This is the moment
That is rightful in your soul
Do what it takes to make
That victory your goal
[Repeat bridge & chorus]
Stand at the top of the mountain
With all of the world at your feet
You're seeking the eternal fountain
Drink up yes drink all that you need
[Repeat bridge & chorus]
6. Till The Day I Die
I ain't got no time for forgiven
I ain't got no time be afraid
I ain't got no time to be slowing me down
With one foot in the grave
I ain't got no time for my loving
I ain't got no time to be said
I got no time for the foolish man
When the world treats him so bad
Oh no, here I go
Other sides calling me getting me low
Oh, I always know I'm living till the day I die
Oh no, here I go
The other sides calling me getting me low
Oh, I always know I'm living till the day I die, yeah!
They say there's light in the tunnel
They say there's a name in the book
But I don't care for the rumor mill
That hangs you on a hook
Soon I'll be meeting my Maker
Then I'll deceased and desist
I'll leave my name in the air somewhere
Where I can get some peace
Where I can get some peace
Oh no, here I go
The other side's calling me getting me low
Oh, I always know I'm living till the day I die
Oh no, here I go
The other sides calling me getting me low
Oh no, I always know I'm living till the day I die
Living till the day I die
I don't know if I'm ever coming back
The light in the tunnel might turn to black
Take my chances I won't ask why
I'm living till the day I die
Living till the day I die
Living till the day I die
I ain't got time for forgiving
I ain't got time be afraid
I ain't got time for living my life
With one foot in the grave
One foot in the grave
7. We Own The Night
We're not alone, we have a chance you see
Let's live the dreams we have in life
There's nothing left if you can't walk with me
You know we need to put it right
[Chorus]
We own the night
And whatever comes our way
Nothing will hold us back
When we love and we obey
When I'm with you, you give me all your strength
And with your love I carry on
Well we both know it takes the two of us
To face the truth don't need to run
[Repeat chorus]
Let's take tonight
And forget about the day
Stand at the edge of life
Let the starts come out to play
You wait and see
Our light will grow and grow
Open eyes will realize
The ray of life to hold
Our world of calm
It sings right from the heart
Can you hear the storm of fear
Can't tear this love apart
If we don't leap for faith
How can we be free
We can't deny or say goodbye
We found our destiny
Don't leave me alone
I can't stand the thought of being here without you
My heart turns to stone
Look in my eyes, my words are true
[Repeat chorus]
I'm not alone
But ships pass in the night
Hold me now, hold me now
Before my heart takes flight
8. Heartless
I'm walkin' the streets now, baby
Go it alone
Got nowhere to crash
Ain't got no home
Don't know where I'll be tomorrow
My heads in a daze
Should I make amends and mend my ways
[Chorus]
Heartless, heartless
I'm in a world of darkness
Heartless, heartless
You make me feel
So heartless
Talk to myself and wonder
What did I do wrong
Am I in the place where I belong
Part of the problem, baby
Something I lack
I pray there's a chance
You'll take me back
[Repeat chorus]
9. Hell Razor
Outcast of the morning
He'll always go it alone
They never can cage him
He's got a life of his own
Wild as a lone wolf
Nothing escapes from his eyes
Stars cover his tracks now
With such a brilliant disguise
[Chorus]
Hell razor, he's gonna raise hell tonight
Hell razor, he's goin' out for a fight
No sense of tomorrow
He only lives for the day
Their burden of sorrow
Who gives a damn what they say
Call, call of the wild wind
A man only wants to be free
He answers to no one
That's what we all wanna be
[Repeat chorus]
He fell out of heaven
Mercifully clipped of his wings
Some say that he's legion
That's when the bad luck begins
Mad ball of confusion
Watch as he makes worlds collide
He answers to no one
See how the matter subside
[Repeat chorus]
Hell razor...
10. Thunder And Lightning
Well it don't matter ‘bout the things they say
We got nothing to left to prove
And we wouldn't have it any other way
So let them make their move
When you got something that's as strong as this
Don't matter if you fall
You get back up and face another day
Ready to make that call
[Bridge]
Nothing in life is easy
Nothing in life is free
[Chorus]
I'm the thunder to your lightning
Can you feel it?
What we got is so exciting
It's a love they can't deny
Now me and you we got a simple heart
We don't need that much to make it run
Our souls are living proof right from the start
You got to get your knees dirty one by one
So when you look at me I wanna cry
This is good as all I ever need
Cause I'll be with ya till the day I die
Something that we both believe
[Repeat bridge & chorus]
They can't take it, they can leave it
We don't care cause
This will always be our secret
For the rest of our lives
Nothing can bring us down
We'll always be around
Nothing can stop us now
I ain't a dreamer, I know what's real
And you are just the same as me
So if the cards of life can't break the deal
Then what is there left to see
Roll out the freedom bell and cross your heart
Cause me and you we love to sing
And they don't like it they can go to hell
So come on baby make it ring
[Repeat bridge & chorus]
They can't take it, they can leave it
We don't care cause
This will always be our secret
For the rest of our lives
11. Twenty-five Years
I can't remember
When the moment started
It creeps up
When you least expect to fail
You try to tell yourself
That you are selfless
But that's the big mistake
That sets your sail
The signs are all around you
But you miss them
You turn your back
On every friend you know
The games you play
To justify your madness
Will leave you crying
For the pain that grows
[Chorus]
Twenty-five years, twenty-five years
I tried to be a man and face my fears
Twenty-five years, twenty-five years
I've had the devil on my back for twenty five years
For when you fall
You have to reach the bottom
And count your blessings
That you're still alive
That's when you look
To someone who was with you
At every single step
Right by your side
It's said from this you grow
Inside much stronger
That may be true
But I am still so weak
There's days that seem
So endless makes me wonder
Will something come
To close this losing streak
[Repeat chorus]
I'm tired and so lonely
From this journey
And still can't figure out
Some things I've said
But all I know
Is there's a place that's calling
I'll find that place
And rest my weary head
Twenty-five years
Twenty-five years
I tried to be a man
And face my fears
Twenty-five years
Twenty-five years
I've had the devil on my back
For twenty five years
12. Matador
The gold ran dry in '54 so with a broken hand
He packed his bags and headed south across the Rio Grande
The town was mean and brutal for a gringo filled with strife
He was about to end it all when some thing changed his life
A bullfight in the street went bad the beast made to escape
And in a feat of danger with his jacket as a cape
He stared into the eyes of death and bought it to his knees
A cry went up from in the crowd at last he felt appeased
Then all the people were screaming
Having the time of their lives
Some said they thought they were dreaming
But he was right there before their eyes
He had the crowd they cheering right in the palms of his hands
With one or two of them leering
At what they never could comprehend
Matador heart of the brave
Suit of life never to save
Matador in for the kill
Statuesque he's standing still
El Toro charged he danced with death
And every place he's go
The reputation lead the way through all of Mexico
The Greatest of the Greats they said
One never to be missed
But all good things come to an end
And so it was with his
A moments hesitation and he felt the gore go deep
His life flashed in slow motion as the crowd begin to weep
The country was in mourning as they buried him that day
But memories live for ever like the ghost of him they say
The people said he's The Greatest
Look at his flair and his style
No one can stand in his foot steps
Or follow him by a mile
The crowd was in such a frenzy
He had the air of a saint
Control was part of the fever
Together with such restraint
Matador graced by The Lord
Cheating death plunging the sword
Matador here to annul
With respect praise for the bull
There was a sense of dramatic
That in the blink of an eye
It could turn into traumatic
Would he be alive or die
He was the man of the hour
And master of his domain
He was bestowed and empowered
He had the key to each city he reigned
Matador heart of the brave
Suit of life never to save
Matador in for the kill
Statuesque he's standing still
13. I Know We Stand A Chance
Tranquilized here by your touch
You know I'll never get enough
Everything you do to me
Always sets me free
In me in you
I know we stand a chance
This time could be
Could be our last romance
I find myself in you
And I can't let you go
In me in you
When you're far away from me
All I have's uncertainty
Bring me back with what you give
You know you make me live
In me in you
I know we stand a chance
This time could be
Could be our last romance
I find myself in you
And I can't let you go
In me in you
When you get inside my head
I forget the things you said
All that's left is just a dream
All I do is scream
In me in you
I knew we'd stand a chance
This time could be
Could be our last romance
I found myself in you
And I can't let you go
In me in you
14. The Mower
Hell brawl a landscape of the corpse
Still filled with no remorse
Such pickings for the crow
Who dances on a throne?
The Mover
Let perish be the word
The culling of the herd
And end is what we seek
Suspended disbelief
Abominations grief
The sea of evilution
Our world of destitution
No light, no air, no light, no air, no exit
Excruciating pain
Demoralized again
The wrecking has begun
The sickening undone
No light, no air, no light, no air, no exit
For witness had its way
Death sentence comes today
So struggle at the brink
It's time to be extinct
Upon a broken back
Hear every bone go crack
A gutless withered flesh
Led forward on its leash
Flat line in the abyss
Where nightmares reminisce
No air, no light, no exit
No air, no light, no exit
The confrontations rest
No air no light no exit
Flat line in the abyss
No air, no light, no exit
