A creature from the plains in a far off land Is caged by the hands Of a greedy man of evil Trapped and jeered to be sold for all to see The beast is now a freak, at least that's what they call him... They whip him when he don't dance! “Someday i'm gonna find the strength to break this cage...” Darkness falls all around It waits in silence till it's keepers have left the grounds Enraged it breaks it's cage into the night it flees Not caring what trail it leaves... Now he's free No bars of steel, no crowds to please Fast, he flees Soon they'll see their prized possession’s broke it's leash They'll fume and steam! “Find that freak!!!” Now they hunt the beast “FIND THAT FREAK!!!” “I will not be caged, I will break these chains” Now they shall know how it feels To be made out the fool, what a wicked ordeal. Fear will be seen in their eyes If they don't leave me be, I will bring their demise

“Y'all go an' get back now ya hear...” Now, here's a tale born of strife Of how a town let pain and hunger thrive It was 5 months into a horrible drought And the town was starved and weak When a strange old man with a caravan Came to town to sell his treats YEE HAW! Oh, Come try these treats of meat Made daily fast and fresh Don't mind that rotten smell “Made only from the best...” Long we had lived on our fertile lands Now our town is a den of dust and sand For too long we've starved Our people have halved Long we'll strive till the evil leaves our land Darkness falls on hungry mouths The salesmen leaves the scene The townsfolk chow on cured meat A snack so dark and lean... None ponder where this food is from Despite the horrid drought Till someone sees their graves are robbed This meat is not from cow “What have we been feasting on?!?” For now we stand Arm in arm, Hand in hand! If we look inside ourselves We will rid our lands from the faces of evil. For too long we have starved and toiled, Today is the day we stand in triumph! “I brought you aid, when you were in pain?” Still our town is a den of dust and sand “Why do me in? What good will that bring?” Long we'll strive till the evil leaves our land “No!”

Hear that sound Coming up from the ground? That's the sweet, sweet purr of my ride Oh a chauffeur’s life Can be a struggle sometimes, Especially when you're full of Maggots and bones... “Where's your eye? What's with all these flies?” Shut your traps and get in my car Down through the dark With a screech and a spark The unsuspecting couple Get the ride of their lives! Ahead in the road The ground splits and corrodes Driving straight for the fires below “Oh please wake us From this nightmare No, we never agreed to this We're not ready to die Take us home Before we lose our minds” Strap right in Let off the firing pin The wheels start to spin On their own Skid and slide Into the other side So on this wild ride We’ll go! Buckle down Into hell we're bound And like a devil's hound We'll roar! Lefty’s ride Will be the end of your life So keep your hands inside And lets roll! Speeding straight through the flames Like it's some kind of game The smoke is filling our lungs Demons swirling around The dead cry and they howl We’re losing grip of our souls! Now you'll party with us Just beware of the punch Excuse the rotting foul stench, We're quite the lively old bunch Now you'll party with us We're not expecting too much Except you'll need to be dead To join our lively old bunch (No we don't expect too much, But you've both got to be dead To join our lively old bunch!) No one leaves here You can't go Quit your screaming Let yourselves go! No escaping Your new home You’re not dreaming Charred and blackened canyons Stretching to the heavens Molten rock Forms a burning wave Spirits and demons Laughing and singing Under their smiles They all know your pain “Somebody save us Help us and protect us Slowly our minds will crack and drift away” “Oh! Why were we brought here By this crazy madman? How could we end up this way?” “WE'RE HEADING STRAIGHT FOR THAT WALL!” “AHHHH! WHO ARE YOU?!?” I'M LEFTY. Strap right in Let off the firing pin The wheels start to spin On their own Skid and slide Into the other side So on this wild ride We’ll go! Buckle down Into hell we're bound And like a devil's hound We'll roar! Keep our speed, and what a life we'll lead! Engines burning, Wheels keep turning You’ve been on Lefty’s Wild Ride! OH YEAH!

Rum, pints and rumours Are spilling fast tonight Down in the dark end of town A brave band of sailors Catch a drunkard's tale The likes that chills their very mortal souls “Wives and daughters gone! At night, their voices call...” “Pain and sadness Stop this madness Find us help us Hear our voices” Their cries will bathe the shore. And so we drink to the dolls of suffering As their cries fill the toughest men with fear And no one knows of this frightful mystery Except a solitary foul smelling man they call The Squid Who dare to knock, No visitors I’ll see. Leave now, go away, Head back where you came. What? No women here, No more questions Leave me be in solitude, Find another to blame. Clothes torn and tattered Covering up his face That guy was hiding something We'll put him in his place (How dare they knock, Well soon they shall see In time, I'll rise, They'll remember my name. Oh, here on my own I have squandered Soon my name will be in lights, I will bathe in the fame) “Under cover of night, the brave adventurers set sail towards the haunting screams out in the blackened abyss. As the cries get louder a cave emerges in the darkness ahead. They navigate its dangerous rocks and head inside...” Welcome one and all! Roll up and see the dolls They're whirling and their twirling will amaze your souls Juggling and trapeze, they do it all with ease You've never seen such talent in your lives! Long we've sailed across the seven seas, never once have we seen a fouler man than thee. Now we'll free all these women full of misery, they will not be your crooked toys again. Far, far across the seven seas, all will hear of our brave and noble victory No more lies from your rancid mouth of heresy, from your ropes and your ladders you will hang NO THIS CANNOT BE! THEY LOVED ME!? The dolls of suffering!

Día de los Muertos Celebration plans of Decking out the desert in lights Skulls line the streets with carnival treats A ghoulish gathering on this night! Fountains of tequila As the sun begins to set But soon their celebrations May just go to their heads Have you all forgotten The one true meaning Of our sacrificial festival Too long We've been Unseen and forgotten Let us come to show you how it's done! Rising from the ground Terror lurking nearer Screaming at the night Beast will bring its foul bite ¡Chup' Chup', Chupa' Chupacabra! Blanket the town with the sound of death and slaughter ¡Chup' Chup', Chupa' Chupacabra! ¡Chup' Chup', Chupa' Chupacabra! Sangre en la calle para siempre, ¡Loco! Loco! Ayudame! Spines snapped, skulls cracked, Colours on the streets that Coat the floats and streamers as the People run for their lives Hear the sound of Mariachi death-waltz Castanets and chaos in the night ¿Cómo pueden las personas ser tan estúpido? ¿Ellos realmente quieren a morir? Huir de las sombras de la noche Corre por tu vida ¿Realmente desea morir? UNO, DOS, TRES, ¡VAMOS! ¡Ay Ay Ay! My friends are slaughtered! Men and woman lie in pieces on the ground! How could we have been so stupid?! Now there's none left in the town!

Traipsing within its doors You walk towards a fickle light Back and forth you're lost in its Twisted halls Inside the house of frights! Trembling, you find a peculiar room With mirrors on all its walls Your reflections contort and stretch You can't be sure but something here seems wrong... Short and tall, your face, you can't recall, You scream! Stretched, grotesque, Perturbed you must confess So you try to leave, But now here you're doomed to be! Staring gazes May judge your faults But none, will ever be as cruel As yours. Slowly you begin to realise, All of these horrid, beastly apparitions Can never be contained! Here with your demons You're trapped inside This your doom Confined within this room Now, your fate Brought about by your self hate Founded on lies You gave them life.

The Loa level Is a den of greed So come sell your soul For a ticket One pass to the house of thieves Light up the stone path Through the thicket Cause you’re in it You can hear through The jungle night You can feel the drum beat Getting louder Straight through The giant doors And into the mouth of sin! Golden, swollen, corpses Yet they're laughing in the light of greed Mammon’s calling, souls for coins Yes, Babylon’s alive, you’ve seen Burning, yearning, churning Deep inside your vacant, tortured soul Doors slam shut and now you’re stuck No you can't break the baron’s hold! “Hoom baba, Hoom baba Ooh jah hoo Badaba hoombah, hurrbah Daba ja hoo Cha! Hoom baba, Hoom baba Ooh jah hoon Hyoo da badoonja Grabba doon gah!” Hang up your body Come join the party Suit made of bones and leather Let the sin in The fun will begin When you’re rolling with evil Its better... The corpse king of greed From the heart of the bayou Is here to collect his fees Dead Souls clinging To the jewels and gold While they watch their mortality flee. Betting for freedom In the depths of your greed You're beginning to see Here forever you will be (With no hope left, spin the roulette!) Wheeling and dealing Oh his grin you can feel And under ivory ceilings Your fate you try to seal (As the stakes get higher, jump in the fire!) Slots spin as their minds swim in unrest Cards dealt on tattered felt, their odds are not the best Drinking, dancing, dices roll (Pour a glass, it may be your last!) Throw down, your soul Wasting your time away You'll stay forever You roll the dice But never land the win Inside your brain the greed Will fast consume you You're aces high But hold a hand of sin! More sell their souls To eternity The prize is pain The house always wins “FULL HOUSE!” I've still got one more trick up my sleeve... “Hoom baba, Hoom baba Ooh jah hoo Badaba hoombah, hurrbah Daba ja hoo Cha! Hoom baba, Hoom baba Ooh jah hoon Hyoo da badoonja Grabba doon gah!”

CLANG! 01:13
No one in the street hears his cries He warns that if they don't, they'll die His mechanic creation could end all their lives And now it's loose outside... CYMBALS CRASH AND FEET OF STEEL TRUDGE 'CROSS THE TOWN A THOUSAND FEET OR MORE IT STANDS, WHO'LL SHUT IT DOWN? I guess you'll listen now...

For years and years we've chased and fought Through ages come and gone Two locked in fate though never faced The chase keeps raging along Long we've seen each other's backs But not each other's eyes Each incarnation tests our wits But why? We are bound and burdened to Rage and jealousy Every thought is filled with you “Guardaci!” Death is nothing more than a Cruel, cruel joke Destined to repeat ourselves Day after day Till the fire turns to smoke! Still we fail Tooth and nail Shoving the tables back Fast the bar stirs wild and people scream Amidst the bedlam, I catch the fire hatch close You make your leave Veiled in the night, you will find me Sword and dagger in hand Towers of the town we are climbing, Finest rogues in the land Collars popped and chains of gold, tonight will be the end for you As I step into the party joint, the crowd will gasp and split in two I see your silhouetted shape among the fray of lights and dancing fog I raise my piece, but in a flash you're gone More and more, I start to think as one High in the north, on sacred ground Thunder will roar and the war drums will sound With rage in their eyes, two warriors face Two become one at the end of their chase Free now from their pointless rows My mind, now in solitude

As one we strive for our glory пуск зажигание да In an abandoned shed Out in the fields of red A relic left rusted, crumbled and cold Born from a time When man fought to climb Beyond where any man had ventured before Who else should come upon it But a band of wily beasts Not knowing what they're in for They scuffle and scramble in... Spiraling straight for the heavens Higher than ever before The beasts will be one with skies now Far from the swamps they soar Into the stars now Climbing higher still Approaching the great unknown without aim And no men have flown as far, But no men they are. Darkness all around Confusion rife In cold machinery They ride “This just in: A forgotten cold war era space relic was seen leaving the earth's atmosphere this morning. Stranger still, sources say that the occupants of the vessel did not appear to be human...” No puddles or toadstools in sight Still they fly Home is but a faded thought No control or guidance Where will they go? At once the ship burns all of its fuel Turns engines to thrust and achieves hyper speed Increasing their pace Far further they race No ending in sight But the vastness of space Gaze at the event horizon Quickly feeling it's force Will they survive? Stretching into nothingness Go! Head for new lands! двигатели первой, второй ступени работают нормально Hail brave celestial ones Far from your distant sun On chartless ground they set their feet Hailed as heroes Not as beasts Far they've come But still there's more to find!
