    REPTILE
    Music & Lyrics: Weikath

    Coming from the sewerage creepin' thru the pipes
    Born from modern chemistry a thing that is alive
    Growing in this rotten crap at places no one wipes
    Eating rats and stinking shit and all it needs to thrive
    
    The scientists got no way to fight
    For they can't find any weak point to get rid of it right
    You live your life and you don't know what's goin' on
    You just can't stop a thinking that the officials do you wrong
    
    You're sometimes wondering what the hell bit your baby's arm
    And the nuns at the holy mission can't keep the tramps from harm
    Even thieves around dark corners too scared to leave the door
    Frustrated businessmen needing a wank can't find themselves a whore
    
    You won't believe 'till you know that it's real
    From the pain in your stomach and the horror you feel
    You need a shit so you head off to the loo
    You're coming to the bog, now what you're gonna do!
    
    There's the Reptile (Reptile)
    Just see his eyes
    Reptile (Reptile)
    Can you see the beast arise
    
    Reptile (Reptile)
    Creeping up on you
    Reptile (Reptile)
    There's nothing left that you can do
    
    And there's the Reptile (Reptile)
    Hidden till now
    Reptile (Reptile)
    But now it's there you don't know how
    
    Reptile (Reptile)
    Just watch it grow
    Reptile (Reptile)
    And there's no more human being left but you
    
    


    GUARDIANS
    Music & Lyrics: Weikath

    We're living in our units
    And one thing we can do is
    Work for a life without a fate
    
    We don't pay any taxes
    But the state is the axes
    Of our minds without love without hate
    
    We have a higher order
    No one needs to be a hoarder
    Our society is such a glorious thing
    
    In our centers we can dream of
    Anything you never think of
    You can't say we are puppets on a string
    
    Our minds are kept so clean
    Checked up on a screen
    They're holy men, they're saints
    Without them we might all fail
    
    We don't know war and crime
    Things of ancient times
    We just see it if we put on video
    
    The blue pass is for my life
    And the red one's for my wife
    It's the only thing we really need to show
    
    There are still some without rules
    But I tell you, they're all fools
    The Guardians will find them as we've seen
    
    We got banks where we freeze them
    They get new brains screwed in then
    And act contrarily to what they have been
    
    With new minds made so clean
    Checked up on a screen
    They will be the saints
    Without them we might all fail
    
    Guardians of our lives
    Protect security
    They turn the key and they step in
    Controlling you and me
    Guardians of our lives
    Take care eternally
    
    Guardians of our lives
    Protect security
    They turn the key and they step in
    Controlling you and me
    Guardians of our lives
    Take care eternally
    
    Puppets on a string
    Puppets on a string
    
    


    GORGAR
    Music: Weikath / Lyrics: Hansen

    You're runnin' around in the gamblin' hall
    Every night it's the same
    You're lookin' for something new to play
    To win and have fun is your aim
    
    A pinball speaks to you
    His metal voice is knockin' in your head
    You can't resist you'll have to play
    You're just another victim caught in the trap
    
    Gorgar will eat you, Gorgar - man you'll never win - hey
    Gorgar will eat you, Gorgar - but you keep on playin' - hey
    
    Your blood is boilin' your eyes grow wide -
    Advance - too late
    Gamblin' fever has taken your mind - this fuckin' machine of hate
    
    You spend all your money but you'll never win
    You're always the loser and the robot's voice keeps hammering
    
    Gorgar will eat you, Gorgar - man you'll never win - hey
    Gorgar will eat you, Gorgar - but you keep on playin' - hey
    
    Wastin' money for fun every night
    Livin' for today no thoughts for tomorrow
    Man you are dead don't you realize
    Wake up and live before it's too late
    
    Gorgar will eat you, Gorgar - man you'll never win - hey
    Gorgar will eat you, Gorgar - but you keep on playin' - hey
    
    


    HEAVY METAL (IS THE LAW)
    Music: Weikath / Lyrics: Hansen

    Fight hard
    Live fast
    Play loud
    Step out of the crowd
    
    Iron
    Rulin'
    Steel bent
    Forever the faith will live on in our hearts
    
    There's nothing else in all the world
    That will bring it down
    We will play our wildest step to all around
    We need it as a liquid in our veins instead of blood
    
    Power
    Burnin'
    Brains out
    United metallians ready to strike
    
    White heat
    Red hot
    Mayhem
    If you don't feel it you won't understand
    
    There's nothing else in all the world
    That will bring it down
    We will play our wildest step to all around
    We need it as a liquid in our veins instead of blood
    
    Heavy Metal is the law that keeps us all united free
    A law that shatters earth and hell
    Heavy Metal can't be beaten by any dynasty
    We're all wizards fightin' with our spell
    
    Heavy Metal is the law that keeps us all united free
    A law that shatters earth and hell
    Heavy Metal can't be beaten by any dynasty
    We're all wizards fightin' with our spell
    
    


    HOW MANY TEARS
    Music & Lyrics: Weikath

    A lot of things occur each day
    We've got to live with on our way
    There's so much misery on the screen
    With commercials in between
    
    And the Russians won't be so late
    Uncle Sam don't wanna wait
    No matter if you're black or white
    You'll never ever have a right
    
    So look up to the eternal skies
    See warfare even there
    What once has been a paradise
    Now destruction and despair
    
    In other worlds the children die
    Lacking food, ill from a fly
    Oppressed by troops to tame their land
    It's all the same again
    
    If any man is free on earth
    Then tormentors steal his birth
    They slam gun butts in his face
    And leave his woman choked in mace
    
    So stand up for our human rights
    Push back this pest of hate
    Raise your voice pass on the light
    Unite! It's not too late
    
    How many tears flow away
    To become a sea of fears
    How many hearts are torn apart
    Till another torment starts
    
    But before the world
    Turns into a sun
    All cruelty and violence
    On earth will be dead and gone
    
    So stand up for our human rights
    Push back this pest of hate
    Raise your voice pass on the light
    Unite! It's not too late
    
    How many tears flow away
    To become a sea of fears
    How many hearts are torn apart
    Till another torment starts
    
    But before the world
    Turns into a sun
    All cruelty and violence
    On earth will be dead and gone
