OCTOBER 31 LYRICS

1. Tear Ya Down

Turn up the night and light up the stage
For the time has finally come
The smashing out of pounding metal
October 31
The fever's hot the crowd is wild
And gives us what we need
The magic power the mania
The lunatics are free
So turn up the night and
Light up the stage and
Come and join the fun
The smashing out of pounding metal
October 31

The amps are set to evil
And the volume's loud and hot
Screaming with the dogs of war
So show us what you've got
And there's just no doubt about it
We've come here for the kill
When the powerhouse starts taking hold
It's time to tear ya down

The band is crazed and ready
And our sound it is our soul
We set our sights on overload
And smash it to the wall
Warlocks sin and evil
Come tearing through the night
To bring you all a trick or treat
And a heavy metal fright

The amps are set to evil
And the volume's loud and hot
Screaming with the dogs of war
So show us what you've got
And there's just no doubt about it
We've come here for the kill
When the powerhouse has taken hold
It's time to tear ya down

East cost and west coast
And all that's in between
We'll tear you down
We'd love to tear ya down
Loud and proud and proud to be loud
The heavy metal scene
Let's stand as one and scream and
Scream and scream and scream

Overseas so far away yet always in our dreams
We'll tear you down
We're gonna tear ya down
Loud and proud and proud to be loud
The heavy metal scene
Let's stand as one and scream and
Scream and scream and scream

So keep those heads 'a bangin'
Brain damage number one
And burn with us in metal hell
On October 31

The amps are set to evil
And the volume's loud and hot
Screaming with the dogs of war
So show us what you've got
And there's just no doubt about it
We've come here for the kill
When the powerhouse is taking hold
It's time to tear ya down...
Tear ya down!!!!

2. Bury The Hatchet

It was the town of Staunton
Where the murder did occur
On demon's night in '83
He escaped into the world

For in her chair dead as stone
Lady Higgin's life did end
The old bitch gave him candy
But the devil gave him sin

A hatchet buried through her chest
Had split her everywhere
And through the window
Sat her corpse as sirens filled the air

On foot the madam wandered
Deep into the night
As costumes children stood and stared at this
Butchered, twisted fright

Demon's night, on demons night
The devil comes alive
Demons night, it's demons night
See the evil in his eyes

Tonight is the night when dead leaves fly like
Witches across the sky
The legend lurks from asylum black and
Kills into the night

Bury the hatchet!!!
Evil comes from within
Bury the hatchet!!!
While evil commits the sin

Demon's night, on demons night
The devil comes alive
Demons night, it's demons night
See the evil in his eyes

The western state asylum was
Soon closed forever more
The unsolved crime got locked away
But the nightmare had been born and

Every year on Halloween
There's a gleam that fills his eyes
And rest assured by November first
That someone else has died

Demon's night, on demons night
The devil comes alive
Demons night, it's demons night
See the evil in his eyes

3. Down At Lovers Lane

He's out of his mind and
He's loose on the world
The sex killer the demon's seed
A sickness inside him has let itself out
Bringing bloodshed and horror to thee

The throats of his victims must
Die from the hook
All their passion has turned now to gore
With a flick of the wrist
He now takes away life
From the wanting man and his whore

Terror is happening and
Horror awaits for you
Down at Lovers Lane
The life in your eyes is fading to black
When tonight you're feeling the hook

Taste the perversion of young lovers' lust
With the sick look of hell on his face
Slumped in your blood by a killing machine
That's been marked by death in its place

A night full of loving has
Turned now to fear
What started out just a kiss
The sins of the skin the lure of the flesh
Might just get you put down on his list

Terror is happening and
Horror awaits for you
Down at Lovers Lane
The life in your eyes is fading to black
When tonight you're feeling the hook

You can scream to the cross
You can beg for your Lord
But mercy's not waiting for you
It's the end of your life
And the end of your hope
When the psycho is starring at you

A fiend for the flesh
Has been watching us all
As we take a deep slice of the pie
So keep a sharp look
From the wits of your mind
Or your lust will lead you to die

Terror is happening and
Horror awaits for you
Down at lover's lane
The life in your eyes is fading to black
When tonight you're feeling the hook

Down at Lovers Lane

4. Under My Gun

[originally by Icon]

I'm on the run
I'm out of the reigns
I'm on the loose
I'm out of the gates to fight
I'm ready to rock tonight

You're gonna die young
Cause you're UNDER MY GUN

You begin to flash
Your body's gone
There's nothing but tracks, in sight

5. The House Where Evil Dwells

Voices they call from inside the walls
In the house where evil dwells
Madness is free and the victim is me
In the house where evil dwells

Spirits haunt our world
To bring them home now
And they're clutching tight
Forever at our souls

The summoning of death
Brings the devil's best
Into the house where evil dwells
And the cries of the dead
Creak through your head
In the house where evil dwells

Spirits haunt our world
To bring them home now
And they're clutching tight forever as...

A vat of acid boils hot
In the basement down below
A crackling witch hides in the shadows
As her eyes begin to glow
And there behind the boiler room
A corpse lies on the floor
On a burial ground with an ancient curse from those
Who came before

And the blood of the dead
Paints the rooms blood red
It's the color of disease
For this house it knows
All mortal fools must burn

In the darkness something stalks
Something so unpure
Is it the kiss of death or the devil's heart
That waits behind that door
A taken dare trapped in the house
Seven mortal fools
Loosed deep inside as midnight strikes
Til dawn with all to lose

And the blood of the dead
Paints the rooms blood red
It's the color of disease
For this house it knows
All mortal fools must burn
Skeptics and their non-belief
Will suffer evermore
In the house where evil dwells...

In the parlor see the devil boy
Spread his wings and start to fly
In the chamber locked in chains
Hang victims of the night
The widow of the willows wisp
Her fangs as sharp as knives
The long drowned child
In the concrete wall
Hear his shrieking cries

And the blood of the dead
Paints the rooms blood red
It's the color of disease
For this house it knows
All mortal fools must burn and burn
And the things we've seen
And now believe will haunt us forever more
In this house where evil dwells...

6. Growing Old

Fakes and posers everywhere
A spade is still a spade
In an honest world the blind man rules and
The wizard is defaced
Yet down the line some fall apart and
Slip into the void
That heart of gold it turns to black and
Truth just fades away

And it's all been growing old
These vicious pacts of empty lies
So many sell their souls
To ruin themselves and upset lives

Yes it's long been growing old
This spinning circle carousel
When you look with pure steady eyes
You'll see its long grown old

Take a look and see them all
Just lined up in a row
False pretences greedy pigs
Welcome to their show
Phony handshakes bullshit schmooze
Invite their cutthroat ways
As ego posers stroke themselves
Another gold heart falls

And it's all been growing old
These vicious pacts of empty lies
So many sell their souls
To ruin themselves and upset lives

Yes, it's all been growing old
This spinning circle carousel
But I'll call you out erase your world and
Put you in your place

You, the lying fool
The wolf that's come to bite
With deviance in your eyes
You'll set your time to strike
And as you mark your easy prey and
Begin your selfish ways
I can't wait to be the one to end your reign

I'm watching you and despising you
With all I have inside
Stand and fight it's all over now
I'll wait for you to make your move and
I will justify what's only right
So stand and fight
I'm watching you
Despising you
And I'll get to you
Yes I will!

Watch the losers crash and burn
When their reign has past them by
All alone snug to fit
Down in the losers deck
Looking back to what they were and
What it means to me
With no remorse I watch them
Fade into obscurity

And it's all been growing old
These vicious pact of empty lies
So many sell their souls
To ruin themselves and upset lives
Yes it's long been growing old
This spinning circle carousel
When you look with pure steady eyes
You'll see its long grown old
Growing old
I'll call you out and erase your world
Growing old!!!

7. Gone To The Devil

It spreads its wings
Through sinner's blood and
The devil starts to rise
As fitting evils steal the dreams
Of children in the night
Our universe is growing strong
From powers meant to be
Unwritten laws unlock the charms
To all life's great mysteries

Just take my hand and
I'll take your soul to higher plains

As tempting magic stands alone
Crowning victory
The lure of passion bows to none
Unveiling ecstasy
Unblessed force deep down inside
Commands the evil one
Said offering has come to us
The seeds of darkness sewn

Just take my hand and
I'll take your soul to higher plains
You've gone to the devil
You've set the spirit free
The wickedness has found your heart
Your once holy cross has turned

Gone far away down hell's unholy road
To the very demons burning up your soul
And the only way
That you won't be afraid is to
Go down to the devil
And let your soul be saved

Gone far away down hell's unholy road
To the very demons burning up your soul
And the only way
That you won't be afraid is to
Dance amongst the devil and
Now your soul is saved...
Gone to the devil, to the devil!

8. Arsenic On The Rocks

It's
All gone wrong it's all shut down
There's no feelings anymore
And when nothing's good
There's no more love and
It all goes slipping away
In a hell an aftermath
There's a war that isn't through
As I plan my plot to rid
The stench of a bitch who'll meet the wall

Get up get out far from my world
You're not welcome anymore
I've lived, with you and lived for you and
It stabbed me in the back

Those sultry charms and ruby ways
They just don't work for you
So take a turn and play the game
As nature takes its course

So have this shot of feel good cheer
This arsenic on the rocks
That brings a smile to my lips
As everything fades away

A devilish grin unflinching lies
Made me read between the lines
And it taught me how to control
The stranglehold that once owned me

Get up get out far from my world
You're not welcome anymore
I've lived with you and lived for you and
It stabbed me in the back

Those sultry charms and ruby ways
They just don't work for you
So take a turn and play the game
As nature takes its course

So have a shot of feel good cheer
This arsenic on the rocks
That brings a smile to my lips
As everything just fades away

Face the truth and the deadly stare
From the ghosts that are your past
As I even up the once swayed odds
That you thought you'd taken away

Destruct, collapse complete the act
That's been dancing through my mind
I'm done with you!
Forever sinking down

And at the waiting rainbow's end
There sits nothing but a fool
To take the scars of every blame
That rightfully they own
Lesson taught and lesson learned
The sight for sore eyes gone
Standing free and standing tall
Cuz right has destroyed wrong

Get up get out far from my world
You're not welcome anymore
I've lived with you and lived for you and
It stabbed me in the back

Those sultry charms and ruby ways
They just don't work for you
But you brought a smile to my lips
That will never fade away
It will never fade away...

So have this shot of feel good cheer
This arsenic on the rocks
My saving grace a newfound peace
That's settled in my heart

The turning on of passion and
The turning of the screw
At war with these hearts of ours
Left lonely in the world

The downfall of love and
The downfall of grace
Somewhere in these times of ours
It's all come to change
The turning on of passion means
In the end you're being screwed
At war with these hearts of our
Left lonely in the world

9. Voodoo Island

Travelling on six days and nights
With a curiosity
An unseen madness intervenes
With beauty in disguise

As impatience grows, the time does come
To be underneath its spell
As we cross its path we're eye to eye
With this place of things unseen

As fools were welcomed to this land
By a stranger on the shore
Taking us over leading us down
To this piece up death-blessed earth

Under its powers now we know
Of the horrors before our time
Living nightmares, living death
As it's leading us all to die

Voodoo island!!!
The sounds of terror beckon thee
The ever beating drums of doom
Tell the legend's real and we must believe!

What calls to us, what chants our name?
We're gathered as their feast
We'll die in voodoo island
We're now clutched within its claws

Through the moonlights eye
It marks us all
Bad karma's all around
Our uncertain souls wait a certain end
And it's much too late to turn back now

Our instincts should of warned us
There's nothing left for us
Except the writing on the wall
In their wicked lair forced to serve
Amongst the horrid ones

Beware all mortal man
You're not the only fool
That goes challenging the dark
Unveil the awful night and
You'll hear the banging drums and
Soon it's gnawing down on you

Voodoo island!!!
Its mystery you mustn't find
Voodoo island!!!
Take heed these words and erase your mind
Voodoo island!!!
Forever in the land of the dead
Voodoo island!!!
In this lonely grave of fools

10. Angel Dusted

What's watching over me and
What keeps me going on?
Beaten down but rising up yet
Time and time again
A warhorse Eveready
A strength and will to live
Taking all the twists and turns
While going all the way

Yes, the reapers waiting to have his say
But life's for living and death can wait
As we all go running wild
We're tempting fate
But the stare from the gallows
Won't change our ways

To tempt the mighty serpent
To live inside its lair
Feeding life a lethal dose keeps
Good luck running scared
The roulette game keeps turning

As the gamble wheel rolls on
But let it spin too many times and
Everything is gone

Yes the reaper's waiting to have his say
But life's for living and death can wait
As we all go running wild
We're tempting fate
But the stare from the gallows
Won't change our ways

We all take many chances
In the way we run our lives
To cheat the end to live our dreams
Yet staying angel dusted
The pedal to the floor

All knobs to the right
Living hard and going wild
We believe we're angel dusted
High octane and power
We all love to hear the roar
With that angel on our shoulder
The once caged are flying free

All knobs to the right and
The pedal to the floor
Living hard and going wild
We believe we're angel dusted
High octane and power
We all love to hear the roar
With that angel on our shoulder
The once caged are flying free

Time and time again
The reaper's knocking on the door
Tempting you to tempt your fate
To mare you lose control
And the death card sits awaiting you
As you stare into its eyes
That creepy little figure
That dances through your life
Gives you cause to wonder
To put question in your mind
To put question in your mind

Yes the reaper's writing to have his say
But life's for living and death can wait
As we all go running wild
We're tempting fate
But the stare from the gallows
Won't change our ways

We all take many chances
In the way we run our lives
To cheat the end to live our dreams

Yet staying angel dusted
Pedal to the floor and
All knobs to the right
Living hard and going wild
We believe we're angel dusted
High octane and power
We all love to hear the roar
Living hard and going wild
We believe we're angel dusted
So live your dreams and wishes
Headstrong and all the way
To each their own forever
At peace within your world
Live to be! Always free!
Running wild, running free!!!

Live to be! Always free!
Running wild, running free!!!
Live to be! Always free!
Running wild, running free!!!
