1.	Heavy Metal Holocaust 03:59	lyrics	buy track
Ozzy Osbourne sold his soul to the Devil He said Rock and Roll will last forever As long as Heavy Metal rages He'll live forever through the ages The Devil said I'll take that bet But if you're wrong what do I get How 'bout the heavens and all the Earth The Antichrist will know his birth Heavy Metal Holocaust Ozzy Osbourne thought the Devil was crazy Cause rock had always been The Devil's baby But with Satan nothing's sacred Only lies and pain and hatred He never treats ya like he should Deals with the Devil are never good Heavy Metal Holocaust Without Metal all is lost When the final riff is played The dead shall rise, walk from the grave All mankind enslaved Satan's laughing in our final hour Heavy Metal's lost its power Demon masses at the ready Zombie armies holding steady Ozzy Osbourne said there's no use in waitin' The world's gotta date to be raped by Satan Then Randy Rhodes leaps from the grave And his guitar begins to blaze Metal's glory engulfs the earth Destroying evil and Satan's curse Heavy Metal Holocaust Ozzy wins, the Devil lost Metal zombies save the day With Heavy Metal from the grave
2.	Beast in Black 04:33	lyrics	buy track
Once upon a time a virgin warrior Knight of Templar Chaste was he in every way pure as driven snow Heard had he a tale of old a lady waiting For her savior she would be the prize for eyes that lust, lust had never known The legend told that only those Pure of heart could prevail Men with darkness in their souls would face a beast so vile A Prize in White or Beast in Black He was not afraid He walked in footsteps of the righteous The infidels had crashed like waves against his mighty shield He was sure and brave Faith has neither doubt nor waiver His mantle soaked with blood and tears Of those, those who would not yield The legend told that only those Pure of heart could prevail Men with darkness in their souls would face a beast so vile In a labyrinth of lost and blind Their Minds twisted with rot and ruin Search your heart before you find the verdict of your trial A Prize in White or Beast in Black War had been his home A champion of the crusade he trod upon the bloody road of souls he could not save Destiny approach while she waits for her savior Martyrs cheered him as he strode from far, far beyond the grave The legend told that only those Pure of heart could prevail Men with darkness in their souls would face a beast so vile To ask is not to know Truth does not arise from reason The virgin warrior charged ahead Not be denied A Prize in White or Beast in Black
3.	Raiders from the Void 05:40	lyrics	buy track
Launch on Warning Launch on Warning Launch on Warning Launch on Warning Smoke is rising It rises Into the sky I see dark craters Where cities used to lie See them crawling out of the ashes Womb of insanity Emerge a novel monster Stripped of humanity Raiders from the void Invaders come to destroy Marauders Prey on the weak Destroyers Kill what they don't keep Death rattling into the darkness Surrounding a burning wreck The vultures are closing in tighter Like a noose around your neck Raiders from the void Invaders come to destroy Our father's must have hated sunlight Because they blacked out the sky Their children weren't supposed to suffer We were only supposed to die Eclipse of a prosperous future Living in the dirt and the grime The will to sustain this torture Elected generals to commit the crimes Launch on Warning Launch on Warning Launch on Warning Launch on Warning Great visons Seemingly Go unfulfilled Decisions Learning to Kill or be killed Mutually assured destruction The strategy that they contrived The sum of our fathers actions Living nightmare to survive Raiders from the void We are Invaders Come to destroy Destroy
4.	Shadow of the Needle 05:49	lyrics	buy track
The war goddess speaks to me The will of Ra I must defend The Great Ennead is three times three The end will come to mortal men Like a hand of a giant clock a shadow cast will point the way 200 tons of Aswan rock will choose the victim of the day I stand under command In the shadow of the needle A god will guide my hand In the shadow of the needle The ends justify the means Dark demands of ancient evil I still can hear the screams In the shadow of the needle I feel those that came before me Chosen ones of endless woe Now nothing can restore me to the life I used to know Sekhmet now dwells inside Endless fury, lust for blood The wicked can not hide The burning eye will be the judge I can not rest the journey's just begun Three cities, three spires, Nine gods that scream for blood I join the blest destroyers of the facade Three cities, three spires Assassins of the Gods I wait for you All weakness shed We walk into The kingdom of the dead One before whom evil trembles Mistress of Dread, Lady of Slaughter I will be the holy vessel of the sun gods mighty daughter The avenging eye of Ra What's lost she must reclaim My being filled with awe God will speak my secret name I stand under command In the shadow of the needle A god will guide my hand In the shadow of the needle The ends justify the means dark demands of ancient evil I still can hear the screams In the shadow of the needle I can not rest the journey's just begun Three cities, three spires, Nine gods that scream for blood I join the blest destroyers of the facade Three cities, three spires Assassins of the Gods
5.	Island of the Damned 05:38	lyrics	buy track
The screams of the possessed echoed over open sea darting eyes of desperation murmured mutiny The captain barked his orders scanned the heavens for a sign Madness was upon them They were running out of time This merchant ship of the merciless Found itself lost in fog and mist No purse of gold could turn or stand The ghosting forth to unknown strand The Island, The Island of the Damned The Island, The Island of the Damned A once proud people stolen taken far away from all they know Slaves forced into bondage Beasts of burden, bought and sold All Hope lay in tatters ground into the deck by holy stones Dignity was stripped away Stripped down to the bone This guineaman of misery creaked forward slow and bitterly Its cargo suffered wretchedness in darkened holds below Among them was a holy man who serve the Loa with both hands Vengeful spirits would descend to send their captors souls below To The Island, The Island of the Damned To The Island, The Island of the Damned Mysterious, invisible Voodoo can not be held by chains destructive and unstoppable The evil crept into their brains Like Charon crossed the river Styx and journeyed to the world of dead the bokor's magic took control to take them where no compass lead Cursed by voodoo, gripped in fear the crew dropped to their knees in prayer if God would only hear them their salvation be at hand Delivered from the ravages of these unholy savages Then the barrelman in the crows nest shouted Land The Island of the Damned
6.	The Kaiser 06:01	lyrics	buy track
Give me a woman that loves the brew and I'll conquer the world Give me an army that looks like you and I'll conquer the world Be strong in what you believe But Know that hate is the enemy Open your eyes and conquer the world Love will take you higher So sayeth the Kaiser Love will take you higher So sayeth the Kaiser The hammer of truth for the crowns of the damned The banner of youth and a love for the land Cast off the lie and conquer the world Bear yourself as Attila And you'll conquer the world Stand up for each other And you'll conquer the world Open your mind and look inside Find the power that tries to hide Power that's true and justified Now Conquer the world Love will take you higher So sayeth the Kaiser Love will take you higher So sayeth the Kaiser Iron may crack where steal might bend What devils lack, the true strength of men Open arms until the end Now conquer the world You may not be born of kings but you'll conquer the world You may not own precious things but you'll conquer the world Your born with all you need a heart to love, a mind to feed Free to choose your call and creed Now conquer the world Love will take you higher So sayeth the Kaiser Love will take you higher So sayeth the Kaiser The hammer of truth for the crowns of the damned The banner of youth and a love for the land Stand in the sun and conquer the world

about

After remixing The Spider Queen I decided to turn my attention to Year of the Metal Tiger. I didn't mind the way the original mix sounded, but I thought it could sound better. Hopefully now it does.
