DISCIPLES OF METAL LYRICS

1. The Oath

[Instrumental]

2. Disciples of Metal

We've traveled the lengths of this world to find you
Tonight we will gather to swear our allegiance and recite the oath
Together we take on this journey before us
To seek out the others who will be selected to walk by our sides

Dark roads ahead
You must keep your wits about you
Danger, it lurks everywhere
Don't turn away in fear

Oh our hearts will never settle
Oh Disciples of Metal

Contenders will prove themselves worthy in battle
They'll stand and deliver, defending our honor of our sacred truths
Pretenders will fall by the wayside, defeated
So sharpen your axes and strap on your armor, prepare to strike true

Dark roads ahead
You must keep your wits about you
Danger, it lurks everywhere
Don't turn away in fear

Oh our hearts will never settle
Oh Disciples of Metal
Oh our hearts will never settle
Oh Disciples of Metal

Oh our hearts will never settle
Oh Disciples of Metal
Oh our hearts will never settle
Oh Disciples of Metal

3. Caught in the Crossfire

This crisis escalating, war is waged
The powers that be, competition
Man and machine, armies rage
Benefactors, politicians

Resources drained on this war
Young men be brave

We're all caught in the crossfire
Victims of war caught in the crossfire
We're all caught in the crossfire
Innocent child caught in the crossfire

Science is advancing, nuclear age
Testing complete, costing billions
One press of the button, cities razed
This can't be real, science fiction

Resources drained on this war
Young men be brave

We're all caught in the crossfire
Victims of war caught in the crossfire
Daughters and sons caught in the crossfire
Innocent child caught in the crossfire

Biological warfare, man-made plagues
Contagion released to populations
Bring them to justice, who's to blame?
When will this end? Times uncertain

Resources drained on this war
Young men be brave

We're all caught in the crossfire
Victims of war caught in the crossfire
We're all caught in the crossfire
Innocent child caught in the crossfire

4. This is Your Anthem

Hey you! Yeah you!
This is your song, this is your anthem
Hey you! Yeah you!
This is your song, this is your anthem

So you think that you're all alone in this fight
That nobody cares
Look behind, you're not the only one
We're all on your side
Stand up tall, stand up for yourself
They're not gonna bring us down
You're not weak, it's time to prove them all wrong
Stand up and be proud

Hey you! Yeah you!

So it feels like you're locked up in a jail cell
All handcuffs and chains
Prison life, is all you can recall
Each day feels the same
Wake up man! It's all in your mind
Ideas are all you need
Seek them out, and listen to the voices
Of those who are free

Hey you! Yeah you!

If you're waiting for your star to fall
Before you make a change in life
You'll be waiting for your star to fall
And your life will just pass you by
Hey you, yeah you
This is your song, this is your anthem
Hey you, yeah you
This is your song, this is your anthem

This is the voice in your head
You're better than you think
You're stronger than you know

Now it feels like the world is turning backwards
It's all going wrong
Run in place, you're barely keeping up
It's never enough
Close your eyes, you can't see it yet
But it's all gonna come around
Since all your life you've never had an anthem
Now this is your song

Hey you! Yeah you!
This is your song, this is your anthem
Hey you! Yeah you!
This is your song, this is your anthem
Hey you! Yeah you!
Wish upon a falling star
Hey you! Yeah you!
This is your song, this is your anthem

5. Rise to the Top

Reach for the sky, but watch for falls
Some live long, some not at all
Take my advice, and take good care
Prepare yourself, 'cause life's not fair

Everyone has their dreams
Few achieve them
Don't be the one who's left behind

Rise to the top
Rise to the top
Rise to the top
Don't look back again

Raise your flag and hold it high
If your ideas are worth the fight
Reach inside for what makes you
The better man and not the fool

Getting higher now
I won't look down
'Cause I'm going to the top

Rise to the top
Rise to the top
Rise to the top
Don't look back again

Take a risk, build something new
Ascend the heights you're destined to

Everyone has dreams
Few achieve them
But I won't be left behind
Getting higher now
Never look down
'Cause I'm going to the top

Rise to the top
Rise to the top
Rise to the top
Don't look back again
Rise to the top
Rise to the top
Rise to the top
Set your sights ahead

6. The Devil Won't Show

I once met a man who swore he could conjure the damned
He read from a book of the Devil's own prose
Wild eyed, offering me all he had
Solve the rhyme or the Devil won't show

I hid the book, I crossed the sea
In Portugal the twins warned me
The book was real, too good to be a forgery
Be careful what you read

The Devil appeared to the German when she was a girl
The fiddler had nothing left in the world
Sages, their ancient pages
Guiding me, it would cost them their lives
It cost them their lives

Erase me from the book of life
In this black book I'll be inscribed
Let it be so, let it be so now
The flames grew higher
The castle burned the madman died
No one appeared, I wondered why
I took the pages, now I'm on the path to seek equality with God

"To travel in silence by a long and circuitous route
To brave the arrows of misfortune and fear neither noose nor fire
To play the greatest of all games and win, forgoing no expense
Is to mock the vicissitudes of fate and gain at last the key that will unlock the Ninth Gate"

With no one left alive to see
The book revealed its power to me
The secret was engraved not in one book, but three together
The twins had forged the final page
To keep the evil one at bay
The missing piece was right in front of me
And so I enter the Ninth Gate

7. Duel

Dusty desert road, on the long drive home
Angry voices on the radio
Fat ass diesel monster, I'm stuck behind this hog
All I did was pass this guy, it pissed him right off

Eighty-thousand pounds of metal
Breathing down my neck
Pushing me beyond my limits
Scaring me to death

Crashing through the gate, stop at Chuck's Café
I thought I lost him, thought I got away
Order a cheese sandwich and an Aspirin for my head
But he was waiting to resume our duel to the death

Eighty-thousand pounds of metal, rusted to the core
Smoking like a deathly furnace, charcoal black it pours
Pushing me into destruction, up against the tracks
Edging towards a railroad crossing, train is coming fast

Gauges in the red, my car's going dead
I jam the throttle and point it towards the ledge
He crushed it like a tin can, I jumped out of the way
He skidded down the mountainside and burst into flames

All your life you think it won't change, you just never know
All the ropes you're holding onto suddenly let go
Right back in the jungle again, fighting for your life
A total stranger tried to kill me, I'll never know why

8. Our Masterpiece

We just want to start a band
How hard can it be? Ha ha!
A question one should not ask so lightly
It took over 20 years
But we did find a way
Turns out all you have to do is show up, work hard, and have some faith

Not gonna wait for the stars to align
We'll find a reason to shine

Here we are, writing our masterpiece
Living out something we always dreamed we could be
Our music, our passion lives and breathes

Excuses in short supply
When we're all stuck at home
We just made the best of things, or we tried
We tried!

Here we are writing our masterpiece
Living out something we always dreamed we could be
Our music, our passion lives and breathes

Not gonna wait for the stars to align
We'll find a reason to shine

Listen up, this is our masterpiece
Our best work, I think we both agree, finally!
Our music, our passion lives and breathes

9. Rain on Me

Dusty town in this blazing sun-baked desert
I need some rain to fall down on me
Can't remember the last rain, it was probably never
So I wait here in the desert heat...

Long time
It's been a long time since the sky she cried for me
But this time
I pray this time for rainfall for all to see

I pray for rain
Rain!
To ease my pain
Pain!
I pray for rain

Thunder and lightning strikes
A whirlwind symphony
The sky falls
I run outside and dance to the melody

Of pouring rain
Rain!
To ease my pain
Pain!
This pouring rain

There's a heart that cries
I try to ease my pain
But if that rain would cease to fall
I'd beg
I pray for rain

This pouring rain
Rain!
To ease my pain
Pain!
This pouring rain
Rain!
To ease my pain
Pain!
This pouring rain

10. The Absolute End of the World

Looks like the show is over
Reviews are grim
No one likes it when the bad guys win
Done all your doomsday shopping
The end is nigh
Unimagined horrors realized

If the Earth was round, it's probably flat now
Japanese monsters emerge from the sea
The military chickens out

Welcome to the absolute end of the world
The end of the world!
Whatever you say now is the final word
The end of the world!

Skynet is taking over
Warheads explode
Human ashes scatter to the winds
There will never be a sequel to this shit show

Tectonic mayhem
A fireball from space
Library books you forgot to return
Will no longer be counted late

Never thought I'd ever live to see the day
The end of the world!
All of God's creations will be unmade
The end of the world!

The end of the world!
The end of the world!

President Kanye inaugurated soon
All the world leaders hide under their beds
The Easter Bunny has a nuke

Welcome to the absolute end of the world
The end of the world!
Whatever you say now is the final word
The end of the world!
Never thought I'd ever live to see the day
The end of the world!
All of God's creations will be unmade
The end of the world...

11. It's Electric

[Harris / Tatler]

I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll star
Gonna groove from night to day
I’m gonna blow my honey jar
Gonna blow my blues away
I'm gonna make a stand
Gonna make a million
Gonna make it with you
I'm gonna be right my friend
I'm gonna push it through

Whoa!
It's electric
It's electric
It's electric
It's electric
Yeah!

I stop on red but I leave on amber
Danger paves my way
I'm gonna make it my friend
Gonna make it today
Gonna get this dust from my heels
Down this highway I go
Gonna get the stars from my route
Make it in a rock 'n' roll show

Whoa!
It's electric
It's electric
It's electric
It's electric
Feel it!

I stop on red but I leave on amber
Danger paves my way
I'm gonna make it my friend
Gonna make it today
Gonna get the dust from my heels
Down this highway I go
Gonna get the stars from my route
Make it in a rock 'n' roll show

Whoa!
It's electric
It's electric
It's electric
It's electric...
