Safe Inside 04:48
Holy wars and hurricanes Rising waters and acid rain Detonation to explode Empires crumble as this world corrodes Unseen powers cast reign of fear Manipulation to keep us near Self-destruction of a human race Nowhere left now to hide or escape From this cave I dwell, I look down on the world outside Safe inside this sheltered cage The truth fades out of sight Deep inside the darkened room I watch the world go by Never will it be the same From this cave I dwell, I look down on the world outside Safe inside this sheltered cage I shut it out and hide Deep inside my darkened room I watch the world go by Never to return to face the decay and twisted lies

Dark City 04:40
The frozen moon guides my path ahead Through misty side streets lit in neon red Casting shadows from a darker past A long lost soul in the emptiness A winter dawn clears a hazy mind The ghosts that haunted remain inside The past created who I am today But it stays behind in the dark city Running blind, a thousand miles away With painful tears and nothing left to say Can you hear me?! Reaching out for a cleaner air to breathe Face the future now the smog has cleared A winter dawn clears a hazy mind The ghosts that haunted remain inside The past created who I am today But it stays behind in the dark city

Everyday the Rage grows stronger Strong emotions consume all of us inside Everyday one step closer Hear the cries and the cheers just before they come into sight Every night playing chase with the spotlight Feel the sweat from the heat building up inside these walls Every night sirens wail in the distance Now it’s time to reclaim, time to break out and take it all Hey! Hey! ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA! Everyday the Rage grows stronger Breaking free of the chains and breaking down these walls One more day, feel the sense of elation Need the fix, to carry on and take it all and more ATTICA! ATTICA! ATTICA!

Stick another pin, cast another stone Watch me bleed within, crack the fragile bone I’m waiting, I’m waiting Waiting for the chance to breathe I’m watching, I’m watching Where this path will lead Feed the bitter heart, ignite the charred remains From a heartache past, time to make the change I’m waiting, I’m waiting Waiting for the chance to breathe I’m watching, I’m watching Where this life will lead

In My Dreams 07:07
In my dreams, the hand in flames points to the only one to blame This blackened heart will never clear the burning guilt I’ll always feel A window burst, explode the night Naked flames licked up the sky An inferno mass which I once knew I couldn’t help them to break through Now left alone, I hold the flame And carry on the family name With embers left and distant screams The torment begins in my dreams As time goes on fear takes control The twisted truth consumes my soul The guilt I keep deep inside Feeds a desire to say goodbye Time won’t heal, relieve the pain I’ll always hold myself to blame The time is near to cut the ties As I release the dreams for my demise Dead in my dreams

Another brother’s gone But the respect still remains Although we never met It’s like we knew him just the same Black-Tooth cowboy from hell A hero to us all Still one of us but so much more In spirit and soul No more tomorrow Shadows of sorrow Empty and hollow No more tomorrow Whisky tears fall to the ground As I listen to his song All we are and what we’d give For one more blast, one more time Deep inside it gives me strength To live it all and live it well Inspiration, raise a glass He’s the dude we’ll never forget No more tomorrow Shadows of sorrow Empty and hollow No more tomorrow

First Life 05:10
Through the smoke of the dance floor I found you In the midst of the mosh-pit orgy with your hair ablaze A golden glow in the neon shadows You locked me in with chains Through life together Through the dark, winding roads I took you Entwined together came a premonition I saw it in your eyes Saw an old man with his dear old lady Looked like you and I Time to say goodbye, Guess we’ll never know A life, a love Through life together A life together A love remembered

Ghosts 04:30

Technofear 06:25
No-one speaks anymore Or needs to leave their own front door Communication electronique Live your life through a computer screen Automated everything Let the PC suck you in Order pizza with remote control Get your kicks off with a virtual whore Techno-Fear in electro-age Trapped inside the motherboard cage A billion fingers connected to a USB port Delete the memory and save your soul
11.
Close your eyes and shut out the light Hidden thoughts inside your mind Witness to the birth of a new control Bring the end of the world as we know There’s no freedom anymore Follow the leader, doing as we’re told For all we lived and lost Through all the fear and hope Crushed down by a state of new control With anger in our hearts And vengeance on our mind All resist the state of new control Watch the skies and suspect the lies And question all the words you hear They take their place as we move underground Running like rats hoping not to be found
12.
Only way to feel the noise is when it's good and loud So good I can't believe it screaming with the crowd Don't sweat it, get it back to you Don't sweat it, get it back to you Overkill, Overkill, Overkill On your feet you feel the beat, it goes straight to your spine Shake your head you must be dead if it don't make you fly Don't sweat it, get it back to you Don't sweat it, get it back to you Overkill, Overkill, Overkill Know your body's made to move, you feel it in your guts Rock 'n' roll ain't worth the name if it don't make you strut, Don't sweat it, get it back to you Overkill, Overkill, Overkill
