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
