ALL MEN PLAY ON TEN
 
I MADE A ROCK'N'ROLL
WHEN I TRIED GIVIN' IN, TO MAKE MONEY HAD TO TURN DOWN LOW
THEY SAID, "WHY BE PROUD, DON'T PLAY SO LOUD, BE LIKE US
AND GET A SOUND THAT'S REAL THIN
WEAR A POLYESTER SUIT, ACT HAPPY, LOOK CUTE, GET A HAIRCUT
AND BUY SMALL GEAR"
THAT'S WHEN I TURNED TO THEM AND SAID, HOLD IT, RIGHT THERE
WELL IT'S MORE TO ME THAN JUST A JOB, AND WHILE I'M PLAYIN'
YOU WON'T GET ROBBED
NOBODY TELLS A MAN HOW TO PLAY, IT JUST AIN'T THAT WAY
HEY, HEY, HEY, CAN YOU HEAR ME SAY
ALL MEN PLAY ON TEN, NEVER GONNA TURN DOWN AGAIN
ALL MEN PLAY ON TEN, NEVER GONNA TURN DOWN AGAIN
 
I'M JET FUEL HONEY, PLUG ME INTO 220, STEP BACK AND LET
MY FINGERS FLY
WHILE I'M BURNING UP MY GEAR, THERE'S A FIRE IN YOUR EAR
THAT WON'T STOP UNTIL THE DAY YOU DIE
I REALLY PUT IT TO THE FLOOR WHEN I HEAR THE CROWD ROAR
OH, IT'S MUSIC TO MY EARS WHEN THEY SCREAM
THEN I RUN BACK THE POWER RACK AND DECK, ALL OF MY GEAR
 
WELL IT'S MORE TO ME THAN JUST A JOB, AND WHILE I'M PLAYING
YOU WON'T GET ROBBED
NOBODY TELLS A MAN HOW TO PLAY, IT JUST AIN'T THAT WAY
HEY, HEY, HEY, CAN YOU HEAR ME SAY
ALL MEN PLAY ON TEN, NEVER GONNA TURN DOWN AGAIN
ALL MEN PLAY ON TEN, NEVER GONNA TURN DOWN AGAIN
 
WELL IT'S MORE TO ME THAN JUST A JOB, AND WHILE I'M PLAYING
YOU WON'T GET ROBBED
NOBODY TELLS A MAN HOW TO PLAY, IT JUST AIN'T THAT WAY
HEY, HEY, HEY, CAN YOU HEAR ME SAY
ALL MEN PLAY ON TEN, NEVER GONNA TURN DOWN AGAIN
ALL MEN PLAY ON TEN, NEVER GONNA TURN DOWN AGAIN
 
 
ANIMALS
 
HEAR THE CALL OF THE WILD IN US ALL
IT WAITS FOR THE NIGHT TO FALL
I'M GETTING HOT, I'M READY FOR THE NIGHT
NO HOLDIN' BACK, LET'S BALL
I'M GONNA GIVE ALL YOU CAN TAKE ALL NIGHT
AND LEAVE YOU IN THE MORNING FEELING RIGHT
 
I'M AN ANIMAL, THERE'S AN ANIMAL IN ME
GONNA SET IT FREE
I'M AN ANIMAL, THERE'S AN ANIMAL IN ME
GONNA SET IT FREE
 
I'VE BEEN LOOKING, YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING FROM THE SIDE
THERE'S SOMETHING YOU JUST CAN'T HIDE
OH, YOUR GETTING WET, YOUR WORKING UP A SWEAT
YOUR HAIRS STANDING UP ON END
YOUR SKIN IS SCREAMING, GLAD WE MET?
TONIGHT'S ONE NIGHT YOU WON'T FORGET
 
I'M AN ANIMAL, THERE'S AN ANIMAL IN ME
GONNA SET IT FREE
I'M AN ANIMAL, THERE'S AN ANIMAL IN ME
GONNA SET IT FREE
 
 
THOR (THE POWERHEAD)
 
BLACK CLOUDS ON THE HORIZON
GREAT THUNDER AND BURNING RAIN
HIS CHARIOT POUNDING, I HEARD THE HEAVENS SCREAM HIS NAME
 
I WATCHED AS HE SHOUTED
TO THE GIANTS THAT DIED THAT DAY
HE HELD UP HIS HAMMER HIGH AND CALLED TO ODIN FOR A SIGN
THOR THE MIGHTY, THOR THE BRAVE
CRUSH THE INFIDELS IN YOUR WAY
BY YOUR HAMMER LET NONE BE SAVED
LIVE TO DIE ON THAT FINAL DAY
GODS, MONSTERS AND MEN
WE'LL DIE TOGETHER IN THE END
 
GOD OF THUNDER, GOD OF RAIN
EARTH SHAKER WHO FEELS NO PAIN
THE POWERHEAD OF THE UNIVERSE
NOW SEND YOUR NEVER ENDING CURSE
 
I WATCHED AS HE SHOUTED
TO THE GIANTS THAT DIED THAT DAY
HE HELD UP HIS HAMMER HIGH AND CALLED TO ODIN FOR A SIGN
THOR THE MIGHTY, THOR THE BRAVE
CRUSH THE INFIDELS IN YOUR WAY
BY YOUR HAMMER LET NONE BE SAVED
LIVE TO DIE ON THAT FINAL DAY
GODS, MONSTERS AND MEN
WE'LL DIE TOGETHER IN THE END
 
SWING YOUR HAMMER TO CRACK THE SKY
LIFT YOUR CAPE SO THAT YOU MIGHT FLY
BACK TO ODIN AND THE GODS ON HIGH
AND LEAVE THIS MORTAL WORLD
 
THOR THE MIGHTY, THOR THE BRAVE
CRUSH THE INFIDELS IN YOUR WAY
BY YOUR HAMMER LET NONE BE SAVED
LIVE TO DIE ON THAT FINAL DAY
GODS, MONSTERS AND MEN
WE'LL DIE TOGETHER IN THE END
 
 

MOUNTAINS
 
SO TALL, SILENT AGAINST THE SKY
UP THROUGH THE CLOUDS WHERE EAGLES FLY
WIND AND RAIN BEAT DOWN ON ONE SO STRONG
THEY CUT BUT NEVER CHANGE, WHAT STOOD SO LONG
TALL AS A MOUNTAIN, I'M GONNA TEAR THROUGH THE SKY
LIFE'S FOR THE TAKIN'
LIKE A MAN IS A MOUNTAINSIDE
GREATNESS WAITS FOR THOSE WHO TRY
NONE CAN TEACH YOU, IT'S ALL INSIDE
JUST CLIMB
 
I AM IN THE GROUND, I AM IN THE AIR, I AM ALL
I LIVE IN THE HEARTS OF ALL MEN
I AM THE CALL TO GREATNESS
NOT ALL CAN HEAR
I AWAKEN THE CREATOR, IN THOSE WHO DARE
AND THE DAY WILL COME, WHEN WE ALL MUST DIE
AND ENTER THE MOUNTAINSIDE
TALL AS A MOUNTAIN, I'M GONNA TEAR THROUGH THE SKY
LIFE'S FOR THE TAKIN'
LIKE A MAN IS A MOUNTAINSIDE
GREATNESS WAITS FOR THOSE WHO TRY
NONE CAN TEACH YOU, IT'S ALL INSIDE
JUST CLIMB
 
I HAVE NO FEAR
DEATH AND GLORY
BOTH DRAW NEAR
LIKE A MAN IS A MOUNTAINSIDE
GREATNESS WAITS FOR THOSE WHO TRY
NONE CAN TEACH YOU, IT'S ALL INSIDE
JUST CLIMB
 
 
SIGN OF THE HAMMER
 
THE SPELL HAS BEEN BROKEN, THE CURSE HAS BEEN LIFTED
BLACK IS THE WIND ON THE HEELS OF THE GIFTED
FOUR SWORN TO VENGEANCE, SEE THE HATE IN OUR EYES

INTO THE HANDS OF FOUR SWORN TO RIDE
NOW THE PEOPLE WILL TRIUMPH AND LIVE BY THE SIGN
ONWARD POUNDING INTO GLORY RIDE
SIGN OF THE HAMMER, BE MY GUIDE
FINAL WARNING ALL STAND ASIDE
SIGN OF THE HAMMER, IT'S MY TIME
 
THE SPELL HAS BEEN BROKEN, THE CURSE HAS BEEN LIFTED
BLACK IS THE WIND ON THE HEELS OF THE GIFTED

SIGN OF THE HAMMER, BE MY GUIDE
FINAL WARNING ALL STAND ASIDE
OLD MEN AND YOUNG BOYS, IT'S MY TIME
SIGN OF THE HAMMER, BE MY GUIDE

THE OATH
 
BURNING EMBERS OF THE SECOND DEATH WILL COME IN THE NIGHT
PRIESTS AND KINGS, THE ALPHA AND OMEGA, POISON BITES
FALSE PROPHETS AND DECEIVERS, SWING FROM THE TREES
NOW. DAWN THE AGE OF BIRDS
DRUNK WITH BLOOD, LIKE LEPERS WITH DISEASE
LORD OF THE SKY, MERCURY THE GUIDE
LORD OF THE UNDERWORLD, I SWEAR THE SACRED RITE
I WILL CRUCIFY, SLAY THEM WITH THEIR TRIBE
HEAR MY WAR CRY
THEY'LL FIND NO SANCTUARY HIDDEN IN THEIR ANCESTRAL HALLS
LET LOOSE THE KNOT THAT BINDS
THE SPIRIT AND FLESH, LET IT FALL
FOR ONLY COURAGE AND HEROISM LINGER AFTER DEATH
SO, HOLD FAST THY SWORD, REJECTING PAIN, FEEL THE DRAGONS
BREATH
LORD OF THE SKY, MERCURY THE GUIDE
LORD OF THE UNDERWORLD, I SWEAR THE SACRED RITE
I WILL CRUCIFY, SLAY THEM WITH THEIR TRIBE
HEAR MY WAR CRY
 
I'VE SWORN THE OATH
I'VE SWORN THE OATH
I'VE SWORN THE OATH
 
LORD OF THE SKY, MERCURY THE GUIDE
LORD OF THE UNDERWORLD, I SWEAR THE SACRED RITE
I WILL CRUCIFY, SLAY THEM WITH THEIR TRIBE
HEAR MY WAR CRY
 
BURNING EMBERS OF THE SECOND DEATH WILL COME IN THE NIGHT
PRIESTS AND KINGS, THE ALPHA AND OMEGA, POISON BITES
FALSE PROPHETS AND DECEIVERS, SWING FROM THE TREES
NOW. DAWN THE AGE OF BIRDS
DRUNK WITH BLOOD, LIKE LEPERS WITH DISEASE
LORD OF THE SKY, MERCURY THE GUIDE
LORD OF THE UNDERWORLD, I SWEAR THE SACRED RITE
I WILL CRUCIFY, SLAY THEM WITH THEIR TRIBE
HEAR MY WAR CRY
 
I'VE SWORN THE OATH
I'VE SWORN THE OATH
I'VE SWORN THE OATH
