​

The Prince 

​

Now I see his face, I see him smile
Such a lonely place, no golden mile
His eyes tell morbid tales, of his black heart
His deeds through ages past, tell of his part

​

See his face. See his smile. Time to die

Oh oh oh…

 

Oh angel from below, change my dreams
I want for glory's hour, for wealth's esteem
I wish to sell my soul, to be reborn
I wish for earthly riches don't want no crown of thorns

​

See his face. See his smile. Time to die

Oh oh oh…

​

 

I was born a fool, don't want to stay… that way
Devil take my soul, with diamonds you repay
I don't care for heaven, don't you look for me to cry
And I will burn in Hell, from the day I die

​

See his face. See his smile. Time to die

Oh oh oh…

​

​

Am I Evil? 

​

My mother was a witch, she was burned alive
Thankless little bitch, for the tears I cried
Take her down now, don't wanna see her face
Blistered and burnt, can't hide my disgrace

 

Twenty-seven every one was nice,

Gotta see them make them pay the price
See their bodies out on the ice,

Take my time
Am I evil, yes I am
Am I evil, I am man, yes I am

 

As I watched my Mother die, I lost my head
Revenge now I sought, to break with my bread
Takin' no chances, you come with me
I'll split you to the bone
Help set you free.

​

I’m with the action now, I'll strip your pride
I'll spread your blood around, I'll see you ride
Your face is scarred with steel, wounds deep and neat
Like a double dozen before you, smell so sweet.

​

Am I evil, yes I am
Am I evil, I am man

 

My soul is long gone before, I’m awaiting my hell.
Sent to avenge my mother, sweeten myself.
My face is long forgotten, my face not my own.
Sweet and timely whore, take me home.

 

Am I evil, yes I am
Am I evil, I am man, yes I am

 

I’m with the action now, I'll strip your pride
I'll spread your blood around, I'll see you ride
Your face is scarred with steel, Your spirit’s dead
Like a double dozen before you, No romance
 

Am I evil, yes I am
Am I evil, I am man
Am I evil, yes I am
Am I evil, I am man

​

​

The stage is mine and music is my destiny

Helpless maybe baby, but you can still enjoy the show
Do not squeeze the life from me…..

​

No Remorse by Metallica

​

No mercy for what we're doing
No thought to even what we've done

We don't need to feel the sorrow
No remorse for the helpless one

War without end

 

No remorse, no repent
We don't care what it meant

Another day, another death

Another sorrow, another breath

No remorse, no repent
We don't care what it meant Another day,

another death Another sorrow, another breath

​

Blood feeds the war machine
As it eats its way across the land

We don't need to feel the sorrow

No remorse is the one command

War without end

​

 

No remorse, no repent
We don't care what it meant

Another day, another death

Another sorrow, another breath

No remorse, no repent
We don't care what it meant

Another day, another death

Another sorrow, another breath

​

Only the strong survive
No will to save the weaker race
We are ready to kill all comers
Like a loaded gun right at your face

War without end

​

No remorse, no repent
We don't care what it meant

Another day, another death

Another sorrow, another breath

No remorse, no repent
We don't care what it meant

Another day, another death

Another sorrow, another breath

​

Bullets are flying
People are dying
With madness surrounding

All hell's breaking loose

Soldiers are hounding
Bodies are mounting
Cannons are shouting to take their abuse

With war machines going

Blood starts to flowing
No mercy given to anyone here

The furious fighting

Swords are like lightning It all becomes frightening

You know death is near

No remorse

​

​

Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin

​

Ah-ah, ah! Ah-ah, ah!

​

We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow

The hammer of the gods
We'll drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, and sing and cry
Valhalla, I am coming...

​

On we sweep with a threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore

​

Ah-ah, ah! Ah-ah, ah!

​

We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow

How soft your fields so green
Can whisper tales of gore
Of how we calmed the tides of war
We are your overlords

​

On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore

​

Ah-ah, ah! Ah-ah, ah!

​

So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins
For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing

​

Yeah, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, yeah!

​

​

Sinner by Judas Priest

​

Sinner rider, rides in with the storm
The devil rides beside him
The devil is his god, God help you mourn

Do you, do you hear it, do you
Hear the thunder
Deafen every living thing about
Can you, can you see it, can you
See the mountains darken yonder
Black sun rising, time is running out

​

Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the

​

Sinner! Sinner! Sinner! Sinner!

​

His steed of fury
Eyes of fire and mane ablaze

Demonic vultures stalking
Drawn by the smell of war and pain

He, roams the starways Searching for the carcasses of war

But if it's hungry then it's, very presence
Disrupts the calm into the storm

​

Curse and damn you all you'll fall by the hand of the

​

Sinner! Sinner! Sinner! Sinner!

​

God of the Devils, God of the Devils

Won't you help them pray
God of the Devils, God of the Devils

Is there no other way

​

Can't you hear their souls calling out in their plight

Can't you see their blood is boiling setting them alight

​

 

Thirty years now sleeping, so sound
War raises its head, and looks slowly around

The Sinner is near, sensing the fear
And the beast will start moving around

 

​

Can't you see their souls calling out in their brain

Can't you hear their blood is boiling setting them alight

 

​

...Sinner, Sinner, Sinner, Sinner! Sinner!


Sinner!
Sinner!

Sinner!

​

Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the
Curse and damn you all you fall by the hand of the Sinner!

​

​

Rat, Bat, Blue by Deep Purple

​

Hey baby, what you gonna do
When the lights go up on you?
What's your name, can I drive you home?

Sweet woman, are you all alone?

 

​

And you're the one for me
I'm gonna keep you busy as a bee,

could be, could be, uhh

 

​

Rat bat blue 
Rat bat blue

Rat bat blue

 

​

Now!
Get up woman, don't be slow

It's getting late and I wanna go

No cause for acting big
Got to love, got to live

 

​

Stick around with me
I'm gonna show you things you never thought you'd see,

You see, Uhh....

​

Rat bat, bat, bat blue
You're so fine
Rat bat blue
 

 

Get out! You didn't understand I'm a hard loving man
No way you can satisfy
The way you look, the way you lie

 

​

And when you shut the door
I make sure I don't see you 'round here no more

Uhh

 

​

Rat bat, bat, bat blue

Rat bat blue... Uhhh...
Rat bat blue, Uh Uh Uh

Alright Ahh-hiii..
