Searching in the darkness, running from the day
Hiding from tomorrow, nothing left to say
Victims of the moment, future deep in doubt
Living in a whisper until we start to shout
We're creatures of the night
We're creatures of the night
Breathing in the madness, spitting out the lies
Searching for an answer, keep your alibis
Don't know where we're going, just know where we've been
Remember when the clock strikes twelve, the losers always win
We're creatures of the night
We're creatures of the night
Searching in the darkness, running from the day
Hiding from tomorrow, nothing left to say
Gathering up our courage, ready for the fight
Howling in the shadows until we start to bite
We're creatures of the night
We're creatures of the night
We're creatures of the night
We're creatures of the night
I left alone, my mind was blank
I needed time to think, to get the memories from my mind
What did I see, can I believe
That what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy
Just what I saw in my old dreams
Were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me
Cause in my dreams it's always there
The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair
Yeah
The night was black, was no use holding back
Cause I just had to see, was someone watching me
In the mist dark figures move and twist
Was all this for real, or just some kind of hell
666, the number of the beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
As they start to cry hands held to the sky
In the night the fires are burning bright
The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done
666, the number of the beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight
This can't go on I must inform the law
Can this still be real or just some crazy dream
But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes
Seem to mesmerise, can't avoid their eyes
666, the number of the beast
666, the one for you and me
I'm coming back
I will return
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
I have the fire
I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take its course
Livin easy, livin free
Season ticket on a one way ride
Askin nothing, leave me be
Takin everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothin that I'd rather do
Goin down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
On the highway to hell
Highway to hell
No stop signs, speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody's gonna mess me around
Hey, Satan, paying my dues
Playing in a rockin band
Hey mama, look at me
I'm on the way to the promised land, heh
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
Ooh, don't stop me, yeah
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to hell I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell I'm on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
Highway to
And I'm going down
All the way
I'm on the highway to hell
Home in the valley,
Home in the city
Home isn't pretty
Ain't no home for me
Home in the darkness
Home on the highway
Home isn't my way
Home will never be
Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I can't see no reason to put up a fight
I'm living for giving the devil his due
And I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
Time is the essence
Time is the season
Time ain't no reason
Got no time to slow
Time everlasting
Time to play B-sides
Time ain't on my side
Time I'll never know
Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I'm not the one to tell you what's wrong or what's right
I've seen suns that were freezing and lives that were through
Well I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
Burn out the day
Burn out the night
I can't see no reason to put up a fight
I'm living for giving the devil his due
And I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning for you
Hey listen don't you let em get your mind
Fill your brain with orders and that's not right
They're playing at a game that draws you closer
Till you're living in a world that's ruled by fear
Always taking baby out, that's OK
What they're giving maybe it's out of phase with me
Told you once you're never gonna win the race
Same old no tomorrow kicked in the face
We are screaming, screaming for vengeance
The world is a manacled place
Screaming, screaming for vengeance
The world is defiled in disgrace
Tie a blindfold all around your head
Spin you round in torture before the dread
And then you're pushed and shoved into every corner
They lead you out into the final slaughter
As the sweat is running down your neck
All your praying for's to stop your body breaking up
Oh your heart is pumping, gonna soon explode
Got to fight the horror of this mental load
We are screaming, screaming for vengeance
The world is a manacled place
Screaming, screaming for vengeance
The world is defiled in disgrace
So you wait it out and you bide your time
Rip off that straight jacket, you gotta break that line
Everyone who makes it in the great escape
Leaves a thousand more who suffer in their wake
I don't talk about it but that's alright
Table's turned and now there's a revenge in sight
If it takes forever babe I tell ya I can wait
Send them screaming back through their hell's own gate
We are screaming, screaming for vengeance
The world is a manacled place
Screaming, screaming for vengeance
The world is defiled in disgrace
Scream
Screaming for vengeance
Screaming for vengeance
Scream
Little Betty ate a pound of aspirin
She got them from the shelf up on the wall
Betty's mommy wasn't there to save her
She didn't even hear her little baby call
Dead babies, can't take care of themselves
Dead babies, can't take things off the shelf
Well we didn't want you anyway
Daddy is an agrophile in Texas
Mommy's on the bar most every night
Little Betty's sleeping in the graveyard
Living there in burgundy and white
Dead babies, can't take care of themselves
Dead babies, can't take things off the shelf
Well we didn't love you anyway
Goodbye, little Betty
Goodbye, little Betty
So long, little Betty
So long, little Betty
Betty, so long
Dead babies, can't take care of themselves
Dead babies, can't take things off the shelf
Well we didn't need you anyway Didn't want you, didn't love you anyway
Goodbye, little Betty
My heart is black, and my lips are cold
Cities on flame with rock and roll
Three thousand guitars they seem to cry
My ears will melt, and then my eyes
So let the girl, let that girl, rock and roll
Cities on flame now, with rock and roll
Gardens of nocturne, forbidden delights
Reins of steel, and it's alright
Cities on flame, with rock and roll
Marshall will buoy, but Fender control
So let the girl, let that girl, rock and roll
Cities on flame now, with rock and roll
My heart is black, and my lips are cold
Cities on flame with rock and roll
Three thousand guitars, they seem to cry
My ears will melt, and then my eyes
Let the girl, let that girl, rock and roll
Cities on flame now, with rock and roll
Riding down the highway, going to a show
Stop in all the byways, playing rock and roll
Getting robbed, getting stoned
Getting beat up, broken boned
Getting had, getting took
I tell you folks, it's harder than it looks
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll
If you think it's easy doing one night stands
Try playing in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll
Hotel motel, make you wanna cry
Lady do the hard sell, know the reasons why
Getting old, getting grey
Getting ripped off, under paid
Getting sold second hand
That's how it goes playing in a band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll
It's a long way, such a long way
It's a long way, such a long way
What is this that stands before me
Figure in black which points at me
Turn around quick, and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one
Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan's sitting there, he's smiling
Watches the flames get higher and higher
No, no, please God help me
Is it the end, my friend
Satan's coming round the bend
People running cause they're scared
The people better go and beware
No, please, no
I'm waiting in my cold cell
When the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life
And it doesn't have much time
Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the gallows pole
The sands of time, for me, are running low
Running low, yeah
When the priest comes to read me the last rites
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
Can it be that there's some sort of an error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dream
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears flow but why am I crying
After all I'm not afraid of dying
Don't I believe that there never is an end
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Someone calls from a cell "God be with you"
If there's a God, why does he let me die
As I walk my life drifts before me
Though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away
Mark my words believe my soul lives on
Don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to seek the truth
When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hallowed be thy name
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hallowed be thy name
Yeah
