Lyrics

War!

The Hell on Earth

War!

Is no good

To be at war with one another

War!

The Hell on Earth

Is it worth it!

Selling yourself to the devil

By the way of weaponry

To the world's worst and best leaders

To annihilate all of us!

The Reaper is lickin' his lips

Wanting the devil to steal you

For eternity, locked in Hell!

Hell on Earth!

The Reaper is gonna get you

The devil is gonna enslave you

Cos' you create

Hell on Earth!

Cos' you're all creating

Hell on Earth!

You're selling your soul to the devil

To prosper for others misery

You will pay

With your soul enslaved in Hell!

Cos' you create

Hell on Earth!

Cos' you're all creating

Hell on Earth!

Watch it explode

Hell on Earth!

Armageddon!

Nuclear Destruction

Armageddon!

Are we the chosen ones?

Are we gonna survive

The catastrophic destruction of life

Armageddon!

Weapons of mass destruction

Armageddon!

Chemical, nuclear biological explosion

Armageddon!

Is life precious to you?

Armageddon!

Terrorist on the loose

Don't worry we're after you!

Armageddon!

Is life precious to you?

repeat

Armageddon is coming for you

Armageddon don't discriminate

Armageddon is full of chaos 'n' rage

Armageddon is gonna set the world on fire

Armageddon!

Is the end of the future!

Armageddon!

Is fire that's gonna burn yer!

Armageddon!

I looked into those eyes

Boy!

I got a real surprise

You were looking

Through a mask

Which was frightening?

Cos' I couldn't see

Who you were for real?

I thought?

Did you have something to hide, apart from your face?

Those secrets

That no-one should know about

If you've got a mask

To hide behind

Or are you ugly?

Having the need to have a mask

In front of your face

Why do you need?

A mask to look through

Just remove it!

Chorus

Drop the mask

Drop it now

See it through your eyes

Showing your face

If you have secrets

I promise I won't

Condemn you

Have no shame

Just remove your mask

Chorus

Drop the mask

Drop it now

See it through your eyes

Showing your face

Boy, I get a real surprise

Seeing you hide behind your mask

Reveal yourself for real

Show us your face!

Blame it on the Lord

repeat

But you can't blame it on yourself

Take responsibility for your life

Don't blame it on the Lord!

Cos' he ain't sympathising with your cause

I wanna blame it on you

You wanna blame it on me

Yer, well we've gotta blame it on somebody

It may as well be on you or me!

Blame is a shame

No responsibility

You say, Blame it on God!

Don't Blame it on the Lord!

Cos' it rests with you

Blame it on yourself

I said, Blame it on yourself!

Don't Blame it on Jesus, or the Bible

Don't Blame it on Muhummad or the Qu'ran

Don't Blame it on Abraham or the Torah

Just Blame it on yourself!

You gotta Blame it on yourself!

Cos' it rests on your shoulders

Your actions will burden you with the consequences

Don't Blame it on the Lord!

Don't use his name in vain

Cos' life is a game

You see there's no hiding place

Can't Blame it on the Lord!

Cos' that's the game of Life for everyone!

Blame it on the Lord

repeat

Cos' it rests with you, until you get buried in your grave

Take responsibility for your life

If it ain't going so well

Then you've gotta Blame it on yourself

Blame it on the Lord

repeat

The Devil has corrupted our Leader

Who do you think you are?

The Devil is gonna seek you

He's gonna corrupt you

The Devil is gonna find you

The Devil is gonna seek you

The Devil is gonna corrupt you

The Devil is gonna feed on you

The Devil is waiting for you

The Devil wants me to corrupt those sins

That are running thorough my blood 'n' veins

Crawling under my skin

The Devil's urging my temptations of fear

Cos' those sins are still their crawling under my skin

Lord, come save my soul from the Devil

Come save me from the Devil

He's affecting my soul

I don't want to be a slave no-more

I've given up the drugs, booze 'n'cigarettes

Cos' I don't want to be a slave to the Devil no-more

The Devil wants to get me

The Devil wants me to commit those sins

Urging me into compliance of temptation

The corrupting notation of temptation

Lord, please come fast and save my soul!

My mama wouldn't like it if you was on the end of my arm

While many men will want to take you into their bedrooms

All night long!

Pornographic Queens!

What do you mean?

Chorus

Pornographic Queens

Even the dirt is clean

Multi-million-pound industry

How many films can that be?

Enough to thrill you

Until your end

Chorus

Pornographic Queens

Even the dirt is clean

Pornographic Queens

John Doe's just don't give a damn!

Used 'n' abused

Placed on drugs

Too much emotional pain

They just want to close your eyes

So, they can corrupt your minds

And place you on T.V

Pornographic Queens

Remember is someone else's daughter

She might have a disorder

Pornographic Queens

Are abused

Cos' they're just used

Meat 'n' Flesh

Skin 'n' Bone

Chorus

Pornographic Queens

The industry is dirty

Pornographic Queens

Is someone else's daughter

You better protect her

Owl! Pornographic

The industry is just dirty

You're better of leaving

Owl! Pornographic

repeating

God Bless the Wizard

Magical Cone hats, and silver beards

Long robes, and curled-up toes

The Wizard is here

God Bless the Wizard

The Wizard gives us magical tales, sprinkled with fantasy

Come on the Wizard

Show us lightening 'n' thunder

Fireworks bursting high above in the sky

Yeah, the Wizard

Shows us glittering sparkles of dust

Floating all around us

God Bless the Wizard

The Wizard

Control the masses

Control them all

Give us Prozac

So, you can control us some more

Call us anarchists

So, the Government can control us some more

We cannot be free

Because the government isn't transparent and clean

Control us

repeat

BREAKOUT!

We cannot live our lives

Because the government lies

BREAKOUT!

Get out of this asylum

That this world has become

Get out of this madness

Because the world has been overrun

We've got to BREAKOUT!

Control us

Because the people all around have done wrong

Control us

Because we've got a virus that corrupts us

Control us

Because the government cannot trust themselves

Control us

Because the government cannot control themselves

BREAKOUT!

Stop controlling us!

BREAKOUT!

We've gotta BREAK outta here!

Air raid siren fades in until the end with vocals repeating BREAKOUT!

You wanna make me angry

Then you'll become my enemy

You wanna do things against me

Cos' you like to be my enemy

I'll make you see

What I will do to thee!

Wanna be my Enemy

repeating

You wanna do bad things against me

You will suffer the consequences

I'll make you see

Enemy, I will drop the Bomb!

Then you cannot response

Enemy I seek no revenge

But my enemy will avenge

I need not take any action

Cos' I will watch your demise

Until your end

Enemy, you ain't my friend

I will survive

As I've got my enemy in my sight

Now my enemy will demise

Death to you, as you're no friend to me

Survival to me, in all the Glory!

You gotta Worship your wife

Because she is your life

You gotta Worship your husband

Because he provides for you & your children

But if he doesn't, you gotta kick him to the curb

Until he goes out to work

You gotta Worship Life

Don't waste your time

You gotta Worship your life

You gotta think twice

Especially for your children and wife

Cos' they're your priority in your life

You gotta Worship Life

Be productive with your time

And provide for your children and wife

You gotta Worship your life

Cos' it's the righteous side

You gotta Worship your life

Cos' it's the brightest side

You gotta Worship life

Don't break the law

Cos' it has a claw

You may not always win

But if you Worship life

Then things will go on your side

You gotta Worship those that may not be around

Cos' they were once alive

Maybe they'll come back around

From the other side, into a new life

You've gotta Worship those good folks around you

Cos' they'll support and encourage you

You gotta Worship life

Don't give up

Cos' Glory is better than defeat

Behind each song

Hell On Earth

There are those that seek the destruction of this world and Hell On Earth explores this theme; with the ending repeative Hell On Earth lyric sounding like someone has just witnessed an atomic bomb exploding above them and walking out of the destructive aftermath.

Armageddon

Following the total annihilation of civilisation on planet Earth is the theme of this song.

Mask

We all have secrets and we all use a mask to hide behind or use as a defensive mechanism, which is what this song is about.

Blame

The saying, "We are our worst enemy" is a true statement and sums up this song, where we like to blame everyone else or our surroundings for the state we are in or how our life is going. It is tough love at its most brutal.

The Devil

Demonic forces are all around us and some unfortunately agree with the devil and commit the most horrendous crimes. We all have a devil within us and whether we agree with what our devil wants us to do is our choice.

Pornogrpahic Queens

The pornographic industry is a multi-billion pound industry and the song deals with the fact that the women in pornography are someones daughter and the shame, embarrassment or uncomfortable feeling of parents finding out their loved or in some cases unloved daughter is doing to make money.

The Wizard

This is a classic portayal of the wizard figures from folklore or in films is the basis of this song. This is the longest track on the album, with most of the track is a guitar driven instumental.

Control Us

Highlighting the need of governments controlling the masses and wanting to lock us all up, as in some regimes across the world is the viewpoint of this song.

Enemy

Every nation has enemies and the need to defeat ones enemies and how to go around it is what this song is about.

Worship Life

Amongst all the destructive and negative forces of the other songs on this album, Worship Life reminds us the importance of family life and the postivity that can exist in life and this world, which is what I wanted to convey in this last song on the album.

I used my Kramer Assault with a Floyd Rose tremolo arm system, which not only bends forwards but backwards for some interesting sounds being produced, with a neck locking system, so the guitar stays in tune when the tremolo is used.

Used my Fender Precise Bass Guitar.

Used the studio effects, as well as my new Zoom G2.1u guitar effect box with an expression pedal for the wah, wah effect.

For the first time I used my own recording equipment the Boss digital eight track recorder and exported the audio recordings into my computer and used Cubase 6 LE to edit and piece together the audio recordings.

For the drums I used the built in Groove drum machine in the Cubase 6 LE, which was recorded into the Boss digital eight track recorder, so I played to the beat and tempo of the drum track.

The vocals was recorded using an external amplifier with a studio grade condenser microphone and using the same method as I recorded the guitar and bass.
