Therion Cover Songs 1993-2007 1. Fight Fire with Fire (Metallica cover) Do unto others As they've done to you But what the hell is This world coming to? Blow the universe Into nothingness Nuclear warfare Shall lay us to rest Fight fire with fire Ending is near Fight fire with fire Bursting with fear We all shall die Time is like a fuse Short and burning fast Armageddon's here Like said in the past Fight fire with fire Ending is near Fight fire with fire Bursting with fear Soon to fill our lungs The hot winds of death The Gods are laughing So take your last breath Fight fire with fire Ending is near Fight fire with fire Bursting with fear Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire Fight fire with fire Fight 2. Summernight City (ABBA cover) Waiting for the sunrise Soul dancing in the (dark) Summer night city Walking in the moonlight Love-making in a (park) Summer night city In the sun I feel like sleeping I can't take it for too long My impatience slowly creeping Up my spine and growing strong I know what's waiting there for me Tonight I'm loose and fancy-free When the night comes with the action I just know it's time to go Can't resist the strange attraction From that giant dynamo Lots to take and lots to give Time to breath and time to live Waiting for the sunrise Soul dancing in the (dark) Summer night city Walking in the moonlight Love-making in a (park) Summer night city It's elusive Call it glitter Somehow something turns me on Some folks only see the litter We don't miss them when they're gone I love the feeling in the air My kind of people everywhere When the night comes with the action I just know it's time to go Can't resist the strange attraction From that giant dynamo And tomorrow when it's dawning And the first birds start to sing In the pale light of the morning Nothing's worth remembering It's a dream It's out of reach Scattered driftwood on the beach I know what's waiting there for me Tonight I'm loose and fancy-free I love the feeling in the air My kind of people everywhere 3. Crying Days (Scorpions cover) Force yourself to use your brain The only way to gain A lot of things are just a lie This world we love comes down in pain With hate and bloody games A question-mark up in the sky Look, you can't keep away And you can't hide Tomorrow, yesterday, today ... Some people say, we'll do it better Some people say, everything's good Some people sing, let's come together But nobody has ever brought it through Maybe you and me, maybe you and me You and me, you and me, you and me You and me, you and me, you and me You and me, you and me, you and me You and me, you and me 4. The King (Accept cover) He was a leader of a small gang Committing crimes each day But time has changed as he was proud It's so far away He took living easy, his bad reputation Oh, it was known all around But he didn't care, no - he made dirty money Now he is down and out Thought he knew the tricks of life Prowling in the dark Now he's left by all his friends 'cause he lived apart of them He was a leader, malicious and violent His fame is covered with blood Now he's just a number, he lost all his power The king has lost his face Down down down, for the king lost his crown Caught and sentenced, he was guilty Down down down, for the king lost his crown It's too late for to hide Late for to hide He was a leader of a small gang Committing crimes each day But time has changed as he was proud It's so far away He took living easy - his bad reputation Oh, it was known all around But he didn't care, no - he made dirty money Now he is down and out Down down down, for the king lost his crown Caught and sentenced, he was guilty Down down down, for the king lost his crown It's too late for to hide Late for to hide 5. Witching Hour (Venom cover) Come hear the moon is calling The witching hour draws near Come hear the bell is tolling Mortals run in fear Prepare the altar now and hear the virgin cry Hold fast the sacrifice For now it's the time to die All hell breaks loose Hell's breaking loose Unveil the pentagram And feel the demons lust Come watch the holy men Who look on in disgust Come taste blood And feel the heat of Satan's breath Look in the sky's and see The warriors of death All hell breaks loose Hell's breaking loose Witching hour Our work is now complete The blood runs fast and free And Satan takes his bride And cry's of blasphemy All hell rejoices at the child That she will bear And Satan's only son Shall be the worlds despair All hell breaks loose Hell's breaking loose Witching hour 6. Southbound (Thin Lizzy cover) The boom time it is over A ghost town is all that's left here The gold rush is over And depression days draw near Tonight after sundown I'm going to pack my case I leave without a sound Disappear without a trace Ooooh - I'm going southbound Ooooh - I'm going southbound Drifting like a drover Chasing my career From the ships docked in the harbour New horizons will appear Tumbling with the tumbleweed Down the open road Taking only what I need Before my head explodes Ooooh - I'm going southbound Ooooh - I'm going southbound Ooooh - I'm going southbound Ooooh - I'm going southbound Hey, you're not getting any younger The wild west has already been won Northern lights are growing colder And the old eastern ways are gone So tonight after sundown You must go from this place Without a tear, without a frown Disappear without a trace Ooooh - I'm going southbound Ooooh - I'm going southbound ... 7. Green Manalishi (Fleetwood Mac cover) Now, when the day goes to sleep And the full moon looks The night is so black that the darkness cooks And don't you come creepin' around Makin' me do things I don't wanna do I can't believe that you need my love so bad Always come sneakin' around tryin' to drive me mad Bustin' in on my dreams Makin' me see things I don't wanna see 'cause you're the Green Manalishi with the two prong crown All my tryin' is up, all your bringin' is down Just take my love then slippin' away Leavin' me here just tryin' to keep from followin' you 8. Revelations (Iron Maiden cover) (live) Oh, God of Earth and Altar Bow down and hear our cry Our earthly rulers falter Our people drift and die The walls of gold entomb us The swords of scorn divide Take not thy thunder from us Take away our pride Just a babe in a black abyss No reason for a place like this The walls are cold and souls Cry out in pain An easy way for the blind to go A clever path for the fools who know The secret of the hanged man The smile on his lips The light of the blind you'll see The venom tears my spine The eyes of the Nile Are opening, you'll see She came to me with a serpents kiss As the eye of the sun rose on her lips Moonlight catches Silver tears that I cry So we lay in a black embrace And the seed is sown in a holy place And I watched and I waited for the dawn The light of the blind you'll see The venom tears my spine The eyes of the Nile Are opening, you'll see Bind all of us together Ablaze with hope and free No storm or heavy weather Will rock the boat, you'll see The time has come to close your eyes And still the wind and rain For the one who will be king The watcher in the ring It is you! 9. Iron Fist (Motörhead cover) (live) Black night, nothing to see Invisible hand in front of me Scared to death, there's someone near Scared to move but you can't stay here You know me, evil eye You know me, prepare to die You know me, the snake-bite kiss The Devil's grip, the Iron Fist Flying horse don't make a sound Flying hooves don't touch the ground Walk in circle, lose your track Can't go on but you can't go back You know me, evil eye You know me, prepare to die You know me, you can't resist The Devil's grip, the Iron Fist Moon eclipse and you now why Ghost rider in the sky Beast of evil, devil's hound Tooth and claw they pull you down You know me, evil eye You know me, prepare to die You know me, the graveyard kiss The Devil's grip, the Iron Fist ...and don't forget the Joker! 10. Black Funeral (Mercyful Fate cover) (live) Bring the black box to the altar Now raise your hands and do the sign All hail Satan, oh yes hail Satan Lay down your sword, the evil star It's a black funeral She was a victim of my coven Open the black box on the altar Her blood is still hot, so let it out Oh hail Satan, yes hail Satan Now drink it, now drink, drink Forget that whore It's a black funeral She was the victim of my coven
