ORANGE GOBLIN LYRICS

1. Sons Of Salem

Rise up, sons of salem
Your mothers cursed you at birth
Rise up, sons of salem
The dead will inherit the earth.

Trial by fire, death at the puritan hand, on unholy land
Sinners and serpents and all you despise, how they prophesize
Pray to false idols, blind leading the blind, in the eyes of Christ
Torture and torment, no mercy no pride
Sacred genocide.

Rise up, sons of salem
Your mothers cursed you at birth
Rise up, sons of salem
The dead will inherit the earth.

Cold hearted vengeance for centuries past, and aspersions cast
Void of emotion, regress to the wild, an unholy child
Violent possession, drug fuelled obsession to slay, in the ancient way
Annihilation and mass mutilation today, rising from the grave.

Rise up, rise up, rise up sons of salem
Rise up, rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up, rise up sons of salem
Rise up, rise up, rise up

2. The Wolf Bites Back

By night, the predators arise
Intent, it's written in their eyes
The weak, succumb to our disease
What we seek, a ritual release... for their feast.

Irrational in your belief
Upholder of the law becomes the petty thief
Who prays for you when we attack?
With fire and a fury
The wolf bites back!

A steel, that slices through the night
We bleed, the wounded rise to fight
We howl, our legacy is war
You run, now the wolf is at your door, evermore

You paid for faith, they gave you sin
Alone you always feel the pack is closing in
The race is run, your time is through
Like lambs unto the slaughter...

Irrational in your belief
Upholder of the law becomes the petty thief
Who prays for you when we attack?
With fire and a fury
The wolf bites back!

The night recedes and turns to dusk
The blades of vengeance start to rust
The weak will fall and fade to grey
But the wolf will fight another day... and you pray

You paid for faith, they gave you sin
Alone you always feel the pack is closing in
The race is run, your time is through
Like lambs unto the slaughter...

Irrational in your belief
Upholder of the law becomes the petty thief
Who prays for you when we attack?
With fire and a fury
The wolf bites back!

The wolf bites back!
The wolf bites back!
The wolf bites back!

3. Renegade

Shoot to kill, fire at will
You're in the crosshairs and I need my fill
Sharpshooter, dressed in all black
Force of nature and on the attack

Step aside, I got no reason for pity
No remorse and a lack of faith
True grit, a rock and roll outlaw
I got what it takes, I'm a renegade

Built for speed, I take what I need
Got no time for filthy liars and greed
Roll the dice, I'm colder than ice
I live my life on the edge of the knife

Step aside, I got no reason for pity
No remorse and a lack of faith
True grit, a rock and roll outlaw
I got what it takes, I'm a renegade

Shut your mouth, your problems don't matter to me
Stand alone, a spirit that's wild and free
Bad blood and whiskey are all that I need

I've been on parole, I've been on the run
I've been the most wanted man under the Sun
I am the man your mothers would tell you, you need to avoid
Play your best hand and play from the heart
Play them for fools and tear them apart
Son of a preacher that turned to the dark
Turned to the dark

Shoot to kill, fire at will
You're in the crosshairs and I need my fill
Sharpshooter, dressed in all black
Force of nature and on the attack.

4. Swords Of Fire

Sunrise in the East
The cosmic mirror starts to crack
Swords of fire are aflame
The warriors attack

Oceans deep and mountains high
Justice of the blade is nigh
Crystal castles in the hills
Sharpening of mind and skills

Time of war is coming
Blood across the land
Samurai is woken
Vengeance is at hand
Honour comes with honour
A virtue to be earned

A conscious struggle finding peace
The sacred path will set you free
To find the wisdom you desire
The mind becomes your sword of fire
Your sword of fire

5. Ghosts Of The Primitives

We are men of science, architects of dreams
Turn your hand to what you can
'Cos nothing's what it seems
Feeding Christians to the lions was a thrill
Then you blame the Lord and claim your reward
In your mansion on the hill

Dumbing of the ages
Numbing of the senses
Challenging existence
Softening defenses
Child of the future
Corporation vampire
Lacking education
Spreading like a wildfire

Waiting for machines of war to have their day
Embrace your new technology
While it still does what you say
Centuries of holy persecution doesn't lie
One minute God forgives, the next we must repent or die

Contention
Violation
Invention
Revolution
The end of days is on its way

Dumbing of the ages
Numbing of the senses
Challenging existence
Softening defenses
Child of the future
Corporation vampire
Lacking education
Spreading like a wildfire

These are the darkest days we have known
Prophets of war are your skin and bone
Skulls piled high, the planets decay
Ghosts of the primitives fade away
Ghosts of the primitives fade away

We were the future, end of the line
Sciences is greed, religious decline
Wait for the bomb and silently pray
Ghosts of the primitives fade away
Ghosts of the primitives fade away.

6. In Bocca Al Lupo

[Instrumental]

7. Suicide Division

On wings of death, breathe your last breath
The honour of dying is all we have left
Straight to Hell upon Death we ride
Prepared to die we are suicide
Division
Straight to Hell upon Death we ride
Prepared to die we are suicide
Division

Wolves in the night, carefree and high
Respect for the few who we fight till we die
Straight to Hell upon Death we ride
Prepared to die we are suicide
Division
Straight to Hell upon Death we ride
Prepared to die we are suicide

Roads made of bones, the reaper is calling us home
Temple of skulls
Sworn to the dark, brothers in life and beyond
Born to die young
Horses of iron, carry the fearless and free
Outlaw beliefs
Code of the road, the only law we will abide
Forever we ride

Roads made of bones, the reaper is calling us home
Temple of skulls
Sworn to the dark, brothers in life and beyond
Born to die young
Horses of iron, carry the fearless and free
Outlaw beliefs
Code of the road, the only law we will abide
Forever we ride

8. The Stranger

I need to crack the earth right open
And throw myself into the abyss
I don't believe it's an addiction
But I know I like to kill like this

I've studied your kind, I've taken my time
I know stars can't shine without the dark
I can't follow rules, I don't suffer fools
I know there's no flame without a spark

I need to rip my heart wide open
To find out just what I have become
Some kind of mental introspection
Examine just why I feel so numb

I don't feel remorse, I need no recourse
The blood in my veins is cold as ice
A murderous mind, two species entwined
The stranger forever lost in time

Twisted in my visions
Overloaded, lost control
Random in my choices
No one follows, no one knows
There is beauty in my violence
So malicious, so serene
There is method in my madness
Calculated yet obscene

Twisted in my visions
Overloaded, lost control
Random in my choices
No one follows, no one knows
There is beauty in my violence
So malicious, so serene
There is method in my madness
Calculated yet obscene

I don't feel remorse, I need no recourse
The blood in my veins is cold as ice
A murderous mind, two species entwined
A stranger forever lost in time

A stranger lost in time
A stranger lost his mind
A stranger lost in time
A stranger lost his mind.

9. Burn The Ships

Highly medicated, society sedated
They keep you where they want you
And watch you when they need to
They sell you education
That dictates your occupation
Controlling what they feed you
So they know how old you live to

Brainwashed to believe them
When they tell you that you need them
Obsessed with biased media
That exists just to deceive us
Maniacal voices
That drip feed you your choices
Then send you to the front line
While they kick back with their fine wine

Form an orderly queue for the grave
There's a lesson to learn here
As we're lead to our death just like slaves
We should return here
There's a reason to fight and survive
At the crack of the whip
Come together and reclaim your lives
And burn the ships

The man with the gun in his hand
Refused to listen, put his head in the sand
The masses woke and started to plan
To override them and take back the land
A million strong, downtrodden too long
Took up the challenge to right all the wrong
A plan was hatched and soldiers dispatched
We burn the ships 'cos we only attack

The man with the gun in his hand
Refused to listen, put his head in the sand
The masses woke and started to plan
To override them and take back the land
A million strong, downtrodden too long
Took up the challenge to right all the wrong
A plan was hatched and soldiers dispatched
We burned the ships 'cos we only attack

Form an orderly queue for the grave
There's a lesson to learn here
As we're lead to our death just like slaves
We should return here
There's a reason to fight and survive
At the crack of the whip
Come together and reclaim your lives
And burn the ships

10. Zeitgeist

The spirits of freedom crushing the kingdom
Stark portrayals of death
The stars have aligned and are sending us signs
The universe has nothing left
So we're condemned to feed the worms

The search goes on and on
Truth filled horizons have gone

Hidden dimensions, prepare for ascension
Life, our prelude to death
Peace an illusion to mask the confusion
We have no idea what comes next
As we're condemned to feed the worms

So we're condemned to feed the worms
The search goes on and on
Truth filled horizons have gone
The search goes on and on
The lies lead us into the sun
