ARTCH LYRICS

1. Conversio Prelude


[Instrumental]


2. Another Return To Church Hill


Once upon a time in a land afar, on some deserted hill
There stood a church all black - made of steel
At high-noon every Sunday on the hill the old hermit would preach
"Welcome to Church-Hill my friends - have no fear
Come near... 'Cause I am the light"
All the bad things you have done in your life could come real
Now is the time to regret.
Did you murder or steal?

This is your chance there'll be no return
Those who will fall - will burn!

The mocked - at lepers the crippled and blind
All did heed his call
They marched in troops of hundreds to Church-Hill
To hear him preach to share his anguish
There was fire in his eyes, as the troops of hundreds multiplied

Gimmie your souls and I promise you heaven or hell
Stories of fortune and fame the old hermit tell
Moved by his tales and inspired at the end of the day
His army of losers kneeled before him to pray

[CHORUS:]

We're made by the (it's another return)
Yes made by the Church-Hill
We are reborn, (it's another return)
Forevermore - Church-Hill.

Soon his army of crippled and poor
Spread out to the valleys down below - terrorizing
Hustlin' intruding, spreading fear
Rapin' and stealing - no life was speared
In the name of Church-Hill - the troops still marched on
When the church bell rang together they sang ...

[CHORUS:]

In the mist of the morning bloodlust was in their eyes
Encouraged by their master they roared their battle-cries
"United we will conquer, divided we shall fall
it's all for one - yes, and one for all"


3. Power To The Man


Living with women is a bad deal.
When you want to
Make love they turn the other way, -. (sayin')
"Sorry babe, that's just the way I feel".
Women's liberation is the hit today
No more "dirty-writing" - so they say ...
They tell you when to hit the sack, turn off
The damned TV. - But not me ... NO!

Hey, what's that you're sayin' babe
Ooh, you better watch your mouth
No, I'm not gonna take it. No more!
I say: POWER TO THE MAN!

They're closing down the sex-shops,
they're closing down the bars.
Moonlight-romance under shining stars
No more "backseat-heaven" in my car.
You women want to see us men down on our knees
Beggin' you ... baby please!!!
Before too long you'll have us all floating with
The breeze, - but not me ... NO!

Oh, stop your fuzzin' ladies, ' cause I want love
I'm hot gonna take it - no more - I say:
POWER TO THE MAN!
POWER!! POWER - TO THE MAN!

They're closing down the sex-shops,
they're closing down the bars.
Moonlight-romance under shining stars
No more "backseat-heaven" in my car.
Sex and booze and rock'n roll is buried in the past
Will this tyranny forever last?
Ohh, we're rollin' much too fast -
but not me ... NO!

Oh, stop your sobbing ladies
'Cause we want love ...
We're not gonna take it. No more!
We say: POWER TO THE MAN!


4. Loaded


Sunset in the cemetery
The dimming of the day
Headstones licked the falling rain
That was when the magician say
Coming is the hour of the magical power

When the beast will rise again
It's in my hands to rule and command
In my hands - yeah ...

I see your hands, they shiver
I sense your trembling skin
Each one of you, when the dark surrounds you
Your eyes reveal all your sins, your secret sins

Coming is the hour of the magical power
When the beast will eat your heart
That's just the start, the beginning of the end
'Cause I'm loaded - power-loaded
Yes, I'm loaded - power-loaded


5. Where I Go


In the dark I hear the storm
The fire keeps us warm
I reach out to touch your face
To feel the warmth of your embrace

Tomorrow I'll be back on the road
I'll miss you - no matter where I go

I've traveled far, high 'n low
Like a river that falls to the sea
In search for something - to feel free
But in the end I always take
The road that will lead me to you
I hope you'll be there - waiting too

Don't know when I'll miss you - where I go
Baby, I can't get enough, ohh I've got to
Let you know - You'll always be where I go

When I'm alone far from home
I feel like I'm a prisoner - damned for all times
I sing my song for you alone
there's nobody else that'll do ...
Well, I guess I'm a slave for ...
Loving you

Tomorrow I'll be back on the road
I hope you will follow - where I go -


6. Metal Life


Tasting the "black-life" deep in the night
Remembering the sun with no delight
Forcing your brain, killing your soul
23-hours with rock 'n roll

[CHORUS]

Nowhere to hide or get away
Loving the life, it makes you stay
You must be ready for the fight
We'll bring you Metal-life tonight ...

So let me be ME, I'll fill up your dreams
Age is no limit, time isn't real
I'm spending my money, spending my time
The metal will rage, so let's do the crime

[CHORUS]

When we are gone haunting with the hordes
The spirit of hunger will bring you the force
We must keep on living even in death
Now you are warriors you can't have no rest

[CHORUS]


7. The Promised Land


I feel a tremendous power affecting my body and soul
It is the power rock'n roll
It's in my veins, my blood's on fire
It's able to satisfy all my desires

[CHORUS]

Come take my hand, come to the promised land
Don't hesitate tomorrow it might be too late
Just too late

Angels in leather, all come together
Somebody's calling my name
I'll be your savior in the rain
You can be proud 'cause our music's loud
Amps are on fire, all my desires fulfilled

[CHORUS]

Now I know how it feels
When steal, meets steal!
Take me higher, higher, higher ...
Make me fly!

Maybe, this mission, will never come to an end
And maybe, my liberation is a gift from the.....
...promised land


8. Shoot To Kill


Through the smoke, through the fire
Is the heat and the rain
The soldiers ran for cover. Down the drain.
Ambush on the left, Battle-roars on their right

The moon was bright in the dead of the night
Looking' down at their final fight ...
"Open fire! - Shoot to kill!"
At sunrise the fires died the bloodshed was over
Young Jim lay dead - shot in the head
His eyes looking nowhere
A small-town-hero, at 18 a zero ...
no turnin' back
Never had the will to shoot to kill
Dead on the first attack
"Open fire! - Shoot to kill!"

RULE 1: "Shoot first, then ask questions!
RULE 2: "The winner hails!
RULE 3: Remember, Total destruction!
RULE 4: "Dead men tell no tales!

You man of war! Well you live to see tomorrow!
Be wiser than your father was
Don't fall as a hero
DIE! If you want to but man you can count me out
'Cause I've been there before ...
It's a cold - bloody war
And I know what's it all about ...
"Open fire! - Shoot to kill!"
- Dead men tales no tales -

"Shoot to kill" ... - You're all gonna die!


9. Living In The Past


Mama! Can you hear me ... call your name ...
Am I to blame?
The lights are low, The four winds blow ...
Now! Where do we go?
Tears in your eyes ... mine full of lies
My heart cries ... it's time to die!

I'm livin' in the past, so my doctors say
I should wake up from my dreams
But livin' ain't easy in this world today
When you're surrounded by "terror-screams"
Officially declared insane
A number is not a name. A case without cure
They smile at me sayin' one thing's for sure ...
You've got to stop livin' in the past

Sharks in my bed, demons in my head
Bloody frames hang on the wall
Fires burning higher I hear the hangman's call
Voices from behind echo in my mind
Like an eye-sight to the blind
I'm trapped I am surrounded
Afraid I'm falling 'way behind

They're hunting me
Ooh, possessing me
Controlling me ... tellin' me ...

You are what you are, don't reach out for the stars
Calm down, turn around, with your face against the bars
Strangers in my bed music in my head
My candle's burning low
If only I could hide in my mother's womb
'Cause I don't know where to go

Officially declared insane
A number is not a name
A case without a cure
They smile at me sayin' one thing's sure ...
You've got to stop livin' - livin' in the past


10. Reincarnation


Do you believe in life after death
Is there heaven, is there hell
Or do we die as we take our last breath
Buried by the sound of the bell
I do believe in immortality, reincarnations of our souls
We travel through eternity, there is no beginning - no end

Reincarnation - there is no end - Reincarnation

We have a treasure, a written history
Wisdom and knowledge from the past
We've been enslaved, been set free
Stormed through the ages with a blast
In times of good, in times for bad
We've sought for comfort in belief
We must believe that what we've had
Is the key to the goals we achieve

Reincarnation - there is no end - Reincarnation

For you young , ... for you old
This I must make known
All the prophets have foretold
Reincarnation of our souls.
