YNGWIE MALMSTEEN LYRICS

1. Overture

[Instrumental]

2. Critical Mass

The eye in the sky
Its watching you
You must tread easily
And break no rules
We are the victims
We are falling prey
And now the world is turning grey
In your ship, your sinking fast
It's reaching critical mass
Gaze into the future
You and me
California will fall into the sea
Critical Mass
Critical Mass
Too many lives
Too many lies
Our destiny seems dark indeed
We'll turn into stone
Were paralyzed
The devil is laughing now
With pride
In your ship your sinking fast
It's reaching critical mass
Now we must obey
The spell that has been cast
There's no time to waste
It will not last
Critical mass
Critical Mass
Now hear the words
From the wise
You draw first blood
You're hypnotized
An avalanche comes down on you
You never had a chance, my lord its true
Critical Mass
Critical Mass

3. Shot Across The Bow

[Instrumental]

4. Look At You Now

No more blood, no more sweat, no more tears
Now it's all gone
Those wasted years
It's all burning down
In the End
In this world, only the strong can survive
Just the fools believe those lies
It'll crash and burn
In the end
Take a look at you now
Do you like what you see
Those who fell and rise again
I know it well, my friend
You're in the shadows, but you can't hide
You keep on living
Living a lie
The truth must prevail
In the end
Take a look at you now
Do you like what you see
Those who fell will rise again
I know it well, my friend
You saw the devil and then you sold your soul
Now the evil one is in control
You are gonna crash and burn in the end.

5. Relentless

[Instrumental]

6. Enemy Within

Divide & conquer
It always seems to work
There is no wonder
We cannot lift the curse
When the sun rises
In the east
They have all begun
Worshipping the beast
We must see
The true enemy
The wolves are at the door
Can't you see
Those evil minds Hypnotize
The enemy is within
The enemy is within
Do or die
This battle can't be lost
Well burn the sky
No matter what the cost
We have been deceived
The kingdom has lost its crown
I can't believe
The madness all around
Now we must lift the curse
Its gone from bad to worse
Evil minds hypnotize
The enemy within
The enemy within
We must see the true enemy
Wolves are at the door
Can't you see
The enemy within
The enemy within

7. Knight Of The Vasa Order

[Instrumental]

8. Caged Animal

Don't chain me down
I'll burn inside
I'm losing my mind
To see the light
I can't find the key
To unlock the door
I have to be free
I can't take anymore
In this dungeon
I am a prisoner
Free me from my shackles
I'm a caged animal
Don't lock me in
I can't breath in here
I have to escape
Away from here
I have to break out
From this prison cell
I have to flee
This glorified hell
In this dungeon
I am a prisoner
Free me from my shackles
I'm a caged animal
In this dungeon
I am a prisoner
Free me from my shackles
I'm a caged animal

9. Into Valhalla

[Instrumental]

10. Tide Of Desire

There's no shifting
My will of steel
Just like a freight train
Pushing on through
There is no stopping
The tide of desire
It's just like a fever
Perpetual fire
Leave no stone unturned
The flame still burns
In my quest
I shall never rest
There is no wall high enough
For me to scale
There is no pit deep enough
I cannot fail
Nothing can slow down my charge
I am on fire
There is no distance too far
I will touch the stars
Leave no stone unturned
The flame still burns
In my quest
I shall never rest
Never give in
No more crying
Darkness must fall
Into the night

11. Adagio B Flat Minor Variation

[Instrumental]

12. Axe To Grind

You mince your words, but
My sword speaks the truth
Now, you must know that
I am stronger than you
You always slip and slide
But you can't hide
I challenge you to the death
Let it be pistols at dawn
That suits me fine
Ain't no rush
So don't hold your breath
No heaven waits for you
Only your demise
It's time to face the truth
and you realize
Axe to the Grind
Axe to the Grind
I have an axe to grind with you
I really hate you, through and through
No matter what you do
Well I've got you now
Against the ropes
I'm going in for the kill
You are far beyond hope
No heaven waits for you
Only your demise
It's time to face the truth
and you realize
Axe to the Grind
Axe to the Grind

13. Blinded

Brother killing brother
Senselessly
Dog eat dog mentality
It's the end of days
We must face our destiny
Its much to much
Our world will cease
The blind leading the blind it seems
The end will justify the means
Blinded by the blind
Relentless spirits
Wants your soul to burn
Plagued by death
You never learn
The fallen angels
They will rise again
There is nothing left to defend
The blind leading the blind it seems
The end will justify the means
Blinded by the blind

14. Cross To Bear

[Instrumental]

15. Arpeggios From Hell

[Bonus track]

[Instrumental]
