TORN APART!
Every time a full moon hits, dead bodies fill the morgue
Superstitions rear their head,but mostly go ignored
Until one day, they find the mayor's daughter in a ditch
Decapitated, disemboweled and missing all her limbs
Torn apart
By a werewolf's claws
Homemade silver bullets start to circulate the town
The mayor has a plan to take that evil fucker down
Go on the hunt the next full moon and flush it from the dark
The creature sees him coming and tears out the mayor's heart
Torn apart
By a werewolf's claws

THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE WOODS
I can feel a gaze upon my back
Something lingers, waiting to attack
Prowling every trail in my wake
Waiting 'til its prey is ripe to take
A shudder down my spine
My god, it's dark tonight
Oh why did I come out here on my own?
Can you see it in my eyes?
Oh god, I'm terrified
I'm trying not to show it
But I swear to god
There's something in the woods
Something's moving out there in the dark
And judging from the sound, it isn't far
The stench of something awful on the winds
I have to stop and ask myself again
What am I doing here?
My body shakes in fear
Waiting is a torture all its own
If I get out alive
I swear I'll walk the line
I've never been religious
But I'm praying 'cause
There's something in the woods

Fangs!

FANGS!
We hunt by day, while they are in their coffins sound asleep
Driving wooden stakes into their heart
They once were human, but those days have come and gone
Now they only want to drink our blood
You better stay out of the darkness
Gather your crosses
Don't invite strangers to your home
Hang up some garlic
Keep yourself gaurded
Cause these bastards want your soul
Promises of everlasing life may sound so sweet
Often we romanticize the gloom
These tortured men in walking corpses trick the weak
Promising that strength will come with doom
You better stay out of the darkness
Gather your crosses
Don't invite strangers to your home
Hang up some garlic
Keep yourself gaurded
Cause these bastards want your soul
There will be no sympathy for creatures of the night
Drag them to the sun and watch them burn
We shall eradicate as many as we find
The ones we miss had better quickly learn
That we're in control

Ritual

RITUAL
A secret society
Is meeting tonight
Full of wealthy and powerful men
And with gluttony so pure
They'll devour the poor
But the man must be stripped of his skin
In a ritual as old
As the worship of gold
Ceremonial consuming of flesh
But the blood-lust inside
Will not be satisfied
'Til they see a man beaten to death
Bring in the victim alive so we can watch him suffer
(Gather for the feast! Gather for the feast!)
We are the privileged elite, these are spoils of war
(Gather for the feast! Gather for the feast!)
The flesh of the poor holds the secret to unending power
(Gather for the feast! Gather for the feast!)
We're ravenous men and we'll always be hungry for more
Few men refuse
To be led in this room
For they don't have a clue what's in store
But when one man escapes
After learning his fate
He soon barricades every door
Then he liberates men
Who were penned up with him
And they cover the hallways in gas
And they burn those alive
Who are still trapped inside
Once were powerful are now powerless
Burn the oppressors alive so we can watch them suffer
(Canceling the feast! Canceling the feast!)
They are the ruling elite, we are prisoners of war
(Canceling the feast! Canceling the feast!)
Money is the only secret to unending power
(Canceling the feast! Canceling the feast!)
Greed is disease and will plague us until there's a cure
Flames start to rise as the walls topple down
Confusion and fear and men stripped of their crown
The flicker of fire reflects in their eyes
For arrogant men have been cut down to size
Ashes and smoke billow up towards the sky
Sending a signal off into the night
A warning to those who sit perched at the top
Vengeance will haunt you
Until you are finally stopped

Desperate Screaming

DESPERATE SCREAMING
I woke up from the depths of a nightmare
Felt relieved it was only a dream
Squinted hard at the darkness around me
Trying to remember where I last fell asleep
I try to sit up
But I'm blocked and I can't get up
And I realize I'm boxed in from my head to my feet
The panic comes in spurts
It dawns on me I'm buried in the earth
It's getting hard to breathe
Buried
Breathing
Desperate screaming
Frantic pounding on my wooden surroundings
I know it's futile, but I long to be free
It's hard to fathom meeting death with inaction
Knowing that asphyxiation's waiting for me
It isn't often
Someone accidentally buried in a coffin
Lives to tell the tale out on the street
My fate is sealed
But it's awfully hard accepting this is real
And not another dream
Buried
Breathing
Desperate screaming

The Artifact

THE ARTIFACT
Its history is stained with blood
A rare antiquity
I thought I'd found it several times
But all were forgeries
This time, though, this time it's real
My men have felt the curse
Reaching out from ancient graves
Morale could not be worse
Spent my whole life searching, but I wish I'd never found
The artifact that will soon take my life
That precious relic should stay buried in the ground
Dig it up and you sure to die
Raid the tombs of kings
For archaeology
A legendary find
One that predates time
It comes at a price
Ultimate sacrifice
I can't think of worse
Afflicted by a curse
Spent my whole life searching, but I wish I'd never found
The artifact that will soon take my life
A precious relic that should never have been found
How do you prepare yourself to die?
Spent my whole life searching, but I wish I'd never found
The artifact that will soon take my life
That precious relic should stay buried in the ground
Dig it up and you sure to die

THE SLASHER
A killer stalks the streets of a community
I wonder if he'll come for me
The sheriff vows to find out his identity
In hopes that he
Can end this killing spree
Victims pile up, cops are facing scrutiny
Every lead is a dead end
Seems his face will soon be lost to history
The case goes cold
Wait 'til he kills again
A murderer is on the prowl
How many more will die before he's found?
He lays in wait, and laughs out loud
A sinister man
An angry scowl
Feel him staring when no one's around
He lays in wait, without sound
Seasons change
And people move on with their lives
Fear becomes a memory
But something is forgotten as the time flies
A murderer
Is out there roaming free
Ten years now
He marks an anniversary
Holding back a frantic grin
Tonight he'll add a chapter to the mystery
He'll kill again
His streak will never end
A murderer is on the prowl
How many more will die before he's found?
He lays in wait, and laughs out loud
A sinister man
An angry scowl
Feel him staring when no one's around
He lays in wait, without sound

Space Madness

SPACE MADNESS
The reaches of space are beyond our control
Living in orbit has been pretty dull
The loneliness hits me in spurts, but it's okay
Mostly, I just sit and stare at a wall
But sometimes
I think about Earth
And I wonder
What all this was worth
Was the science
Worth losing my mind?
'Cause whatever was living
Inside of me has died
I've given up hope that I'll make it back home
Space has an emptiness I've never known
I long for the days back when I had companions
Back before madness had stolen them all
Sometimes
I think about Earth
And I wonder
What all this was worth
Was the science
Worth losing my mind?
'Cause whatever was living
Inside of me has died
My fellow astronauts have locked me inside the cargo bay
I'm a danger 'cause I have lost my mind
I've succumb to the madness of space

INVASION OF THE PARASITES
Fragments of an asteroid plummet from the heavens
Ripe with microscopic life
Evolution has encoded their genetics
To develop overnight
Forming larva with an hour-long gestation
They will soon control our minds
Plans are set for worldwide domination
Every human has to die
It's not our planet anymore
They now outnumber us
No hope for rebellion
We'll never find the master hive
Soon they will
rule the Earth
Fuck these stupid parasites!
So if you find this note
Off in some distant future
I'm glad that someone has survived
But we have lost all hope
For our own perseverance
There's only panic left inside
It's not our planet anymore

Assassins in Time

ASSASSINS IN TIME
Power
Secured by control of a time machine
Now history
Will always be subject to change
This is
A weapon more powerful than any bomb
Eliminating
Enemies before they are born
It seems to me
Time machines
Are something that no man should control
But no paradox
Will ever stop
Men from fighting for control
Sent back
In time to the year 1982
To assassinate
The ancestor of an awful man
Our job:
To kill on behalf of humanity
And this is
Something becoming routine
It seems to me
Time machines
Are something that no man can control
But no paradox
Will ever stop
Men from fighting for control
The time machine is lost
Replaced with an empty spot
Some went wrong and it doesn't exist
Inventors descending from
The man we murdered in cold blood
We are a paradox, and yet we exist
Assassins stuck somewhere in time

THE SURGEON
A man with science on his mind
They call him wrong
But who decides?
How can you prove an afterlife
Unless you bring
The dead to life
There is a fire in his eyes
It clouds his thoughts
And makes him blind
A passion burning deep inside
To raise the dead
And clear his mind
Just one experiment away from proving all his theories
His colleagues had dismissed him several years before
Someday they'll all regret
His work with be prophetic
He really thinks he can create a better world

THE GUNSLINGER
Paranoia peaks
He is on the brink
Shoot to kill
Anyone who dares
Step foot on these grounds
Feds have formed a raid
He'll go down in flames
Shoot to kill
Anyone who dares
Step foot on these grounds

I HOPE YOU DIE
I hope you die and go to hell
If there's no god, it's just as well
I hope I live to see you
Suffer eternally
I hope you die and go to hell
