ROSS THE BOSS LYRICS

1. I.L.H.

[Instrumental]

2. Blood Of Knives

[Ross Friedman - Patrick Fuchs]

Up from the ashes, the cloud covered past, a worthy N.M.L. is found
Attracting new comrades and fellows in war, this is your burial ground
The knife it is right at your throat and soon will be covered with blood
Joining the masses' cry for revenge, a death bringing sort of sound

This is the day of revenge
The New Metal Leaders arrive
The blood of knives

Into the madness, the rage for attack, a fearfeeding order to kill
We're swinging the blades with a purpose to smash the treacherous ragmen of sin
No, there is no holding back, there will be no giving in
Our sign of destruction the world soon will know, we're honoured by those once (called) the kings

This is the reckoning day
The New Metal Leaders arrive
The blood of knives

[Solo: RTB, Matze]

The threshold of pain, it is finally reached, as bodies are covered with blood
With sand in their lungs and with dust in their eyes my enemies (are) destined to rot
This is the end of the world, apocalypse is fulfilled

This is our victory day
The blood of knives has been spilled
The blood of knives

3. I Got The Right

[Ross Friedman - Patrick Fuchs]

Souls of the dead gone not forgotten
Now they rise again
Prince of the rock, always the mighty
Now he's back again
He returned for the kill to establish the order
To bring back the glory and might
None shall be blamed, they will die in shame
If they refuse to fight

Spurned by those who pretend
Taking the power of what he'd invent
Saved the realm and all that was found
Now it's time to cry

I got the right -- I got the right
Can't be stopped from the glory
I got the right

There was a time when rock was hot molten
And fire ruled the earth
Right here tonight we are back at the front
The right has been given by birth
We give you our hearts, we've sold our souls
It's time to give them the works
And we stand as one
There's no one above (there is no one above)

Spurned by those who pretend
Taking the power the power of what he'd invent
Saved the realm and all that was found
Now it's time to cry

I got the right -- I got the right
Can't be stopped from the glory
I got the right

[Solo: RTB]

Now it's time to cry

I got the right -- I got the right
Can't be stopped from the glory
I got the right

4. Death And Glory

[Ross The Boss - Patrick Fuchs]

Brothers, I'm raging, the waiting is over
Vengeance is calling my name
I follow the trumpet right down to the peer
My readiness to proclaim

Side by side we are gathering
Comrades in blood and in battle
Always aware, never faltering
Always aware -- so alive

Here in the harbour the anchor is patient
The vessel is longing for fame
The bell rings the signal, I'm raising my head
The engines now welcome the flame

I wave goodbye to my fatherland
Facing the final horizon
"Right now you're holding your heart in your hands"
Ready to go -- ready to go

Death and glory on our minds
Fight for victory
Death and glory in our sight
Out in the black -- out on the sea
Death and glory

[Solo: RTB]

Out on the sea where the enemy's patient
Victory is in demand
Sold by the terror of unknown redemption
Enigma is no helping hand

Drop by drop as the vapor appears
Drop by drop do the convoys
The bombing and hunting, the blood and the tears
Battle is on -- Battle is on

Death and glory on our minds
Fight for victory
Death and glory in our sight
Out in the black of the sea
Death and glory on our minds
Fight for victory
Death and glory in our sight
Out in the black -- out on the sea
Death and glory

5. Plague Of Lies

[Brain Surgeon cover]

[Ross Friedman - Albert Bouchard - Deborah Frost]

In old time they could device
A decent warning to the wise
Frogs and hailstones
Clouds of locusts death of firstborns

All the truth you disguised
Everything you falsified
Everything you do
Gonna catch up to you
A plague of lies

Your world is littered
With one too many broken lives
Your very existence
Is a sorry compromise

Under oath you testified
Justice was denied
Everything you said
Rain down on your head
A plague of lies

[Solo: RTB, RTB+fux]

You're not cute when you fictionalize
Pull your evil over everybody's eyes
You deserve to be fried
The damage you done is never justified

All the truth you disguised
Everything you falsified
Everything you do
Boomerang back on you
A plague of lies
A plague of lies
Lies -- lies -- lies

6. God Of Dying

[Ross Friedman - Patrick Fuchs]

This vow is all that's left
My faith is the final gift
I promised you guidance for your dying day
And here I am, to guard your last way

I've seen the dying, I've seen the wars
God, give me strength from above, hear my uproar
All these countless years I've crossed the earth
And there's no end in sight, endless dearth
I'm burned and broken, I stand alone
I'm facing infinite loss, all is gone
God, am I damned for all time? A restless soul?
I wanna fade away -- take me home!

God of dying -- take my life
I have no more to give -- end this strife
All the ages -- all this time
It's my final goodbye -- let me die

[Solo: RTB]

A blaze of fire alights my soul
With my body in flames I'm coming home
God of greatness, rescue me
Shelter this restless soul - set me free

God of dying -- take my life
I have no more to give -- end this strife
All the ages -- and all this time
It's my final goodbye -- let me die

7. May The Gods Be With You

[Ross Friedman - Patrick Fuchs]

Today there is no wake up call
We're on the bus heading for the hall

Another town
And the kids will be around
Together we will rock it to the ground

I see the people from the front to the back
We shut the lights and raise for the attack

Let's play it loud
And knock the neighbours out
That's what Rock'n'Roll is all about

Back in the day
When Chuck told us how to play
Who'd have guessed that it will make it through?
Here's to you: May the gods be with you

Here's one for you who keep the faith
To our friends around the world who share our way

And for those who left too soon
We'll have a drink on you
You'll live on in the memories of the true

Back in the day
When Chuck told us how to play
Who'd have guessed that it will make it through?
Here's to you: May the gods be with you

[Solo: RTB]

Back in the day
When Chuck told us how to play
Who'd have guessed that it will make it through?
Just look around
We all were raised on that sound
It's what we live and feel, we won't withdrew
Here's to you: May the gods be with you

8. Constantine's Sword

[Brain Surgeon cover]

[Ross Friedman - Albert Bouchard - Deborah Frost]

The state of creation is holy war
Waged on the promise of immortal reward
Petition of prayer and permission of lords
Heavy's the hand that holds Constantine's sword

Onward soldiers -- onward soldiers -- onward
Onward soldiers -- onward soldiers -- onward

Those who don't know history repeat it
Only the winners pretend to defeat it
Those who rewrite history are doomed
Heavy's the heart that bears Constantine's wound

Onward soldiers -- onward soldiers -- onward
Onward soldiers -- onward soldiers -- onward

A healing circle destroyed a temple
With passion play and seamless robe
Blood libel stains the true cross
The heavens cry for the ghetto of Rome

The empire was born of infinite loss
Who can sustain eternal cost
Whose children are saved by suffering tests
Heavy's the soul who'll forgive Constantine's debts

Onward soldiers -- onward soldiers -- onward
Onward soldiers -- onward soldiers -- onward
To oblivion

[Solo: RTB, CK, RTB+CK]

9. We Will Kill

[Ross Friedman - Patrick Fuchs]

Here I stand
Like dust in (the) fullmoon
No time to hesitate
No place to keep the lies
Make my way
Into the screams, a cleansing fire
Is burning a hole in my back
I feel alive

We Will Kill -- the day has finally come
We Will Kill -- we turn the power on
We Will Kill -- come what may, as it will, now we will
We Will Kill

All alone now
Only the fog of fading memories
Shadows and faces
Are still in my head
I hear your voices
I hear the screams
I still feel the soaring flames
And I still see your eyes

We Will Kill -- the day has finally come
We Will Kill -- we turn the power on
We Will Kill -- come what may, as it will, now we will
We Will Kill

The hero's alive
The hero is here
Awaken my dream
Let me hear you scream!

[Solo: RTB, RTB+Fux]

Those who keep it true
Listen up and receive it
He could play anything
The people just would believe it

We Will Kill -- the day has finally come
We Will Kill -- we turn the power on
We Will Kill -- come what may, as it will, now we will
We Will Kill

10. Matador

[Ross Friedman - Patrick Fuchs]

Matador is waiting for the key to be released
To raise the purple cloth like a sail in the wind
The Matador is reading every move
Of the fierce-eyed el toro before the picadores approve

"When it's coming at you, don't you try and hide
Give it strength and honour -- whoever may survive!"

The banderilleros now approach with their decorated pikes
Will they turn out equal or will they fail the try?

"When it's coming at you, you may jump aside
Give it strength and honour -- whoever may survive!"

Matador

One legendary day in 1879
Rafael Molino would finally resign
To one of greatest power, Murciélago was his name
No one could defeat him, his life would be spared

[Solo: RTB]

The audience aware, their eyes locked on him
Matador, the honoured, never giving in
Who turns out superior and leaves the gate alive?
Who wins the faena -- who will survive?

Matador

11. Immortal Son

[Friedman - Kettering - Mayer - Fuchs]

And so one day
My life will be gone
Guard my soul
Immortal Son

A life is short so you'd better seize the day
Leave a mark, have an echo remain
Hear my words as I look into your eyes:
When the day has come a soul is said to fly

I've made my way and I tried to take the world
After all I have always kept my word
I bid you: Take my soul and never let it loose
For it will guide your way on any path you'll choose

Rise -- rise -- rise -- rise

And so one day
My life will be gone
Guard my soul
Immortal Son

It may take a lifetime to find out the truth
The eternal wisdom of elder and youth
I might have dreamed for ages but I can clearly see
We're bonded forever by the blood in you and me

[Licks: RTB]
[Solo: RTB+Fux]

Rise -- rise -- rise -- rise

And so one day
My life will be gone
Guard my soul
Immortal Son

12. Falling One By One

[Bonus track]

[Carsten Kettering - Patrick Fuchs]

I saw the ashes falling
No one seemed alive
The wounded slowly crawling
Starving at our side

I saw the fires
Sunlight in the night
God-defied and paralyzed
Screaming terrified

All the fear and all the blood
Have blinded the sun
Glory, pride and victory
Are falling one by one

Hiding in the shelters
Losing all their pride
The children and the elder
Try to run and hide

I saw the fires
Sunlight in the night
God-defied and paralyzed
Screaming terrified

All the fear and all the blood
Have blinded the sun
Glory, pride and victory
Are falling one by one

[Solo: RTB]

All the fear and all the blood
Have blinded the sun
Glory, pride and victory
Are falling one by one
All the fear and all the blood
Have blinded the sun
Glory, pride and victory
Are falling one by one

13. Ross'n'Roll

[Bonus track]

[Patrick Fuchs]

Ever since I was a boy
I would have a dream
Playin' in a rockin' band
To rock it is to be -- yeah!

I rocked the mirror
Every day and night -- now I'm right!
Alright

This is my fate
Written on my soul
None can ever hold me down
Born to Ross'n'Roll

I would never give a damn
For what the others say
Then one day the sky would crack
A hero came along and made my day

Just feel the power
The guitar and the screams

This is my fate
Written on my soul
None can ever hold me down
Born to Ross'n'Roll

[Solo: CK, RTB]

This is my fate
Written on my soul
None can ever hold me down
Born to Ross'n'Roll
