Intro Guitar Solo: Thorsten Koehne
Your whole world comes to me
Your mind is inside of me
And someday you wanna break free
But there’s no way to hide
Cause I’m the secret spy inside your brain
I’m the only one allows you pleasure and pain
Everything you want everything you need
Just another come on from the demon seed
Ooh - I give you what you want
Ooh - and I know everything about you
Big Devil Data is always running the show
Big Devil Data knows everywhere you go
Big Devil Data feeding your one track mind
The devil’s inside this dream that you ride
Fucking with humankind
Your secret screens hypnotize
Everywhere the pressure lies
But you’ll never ever realize
That I can see right through ya
Cause I can hack your life anytime anywhere
I’m the one who knows all the darkness you dare
Everything you want everything you need
Just another puppet for the demon seed
Ooh - You’ll always be my slave
Ooh - I’ll be here long after your grave
Chorus
Guitar solo: Thorsten Koehne

Ancient maiden shakes the sky
Fires tremblin' in my heart
Satan’s angels fill her eyes
As she sheds my seeds of love
Sweet love is raining and you’re the animal in me
And baby I’m in your Blood
Naked under summer stars
As we pray to higher Gods
Serpent blinds me in the dark
Fever shakes my bones so hard
Flames unlock my silent words
When she takes the sacred ring
Her painted eyes they shake the mountains
Oh I wanna give her everything
Sweet love is raining and you’re the Animal in me
Sweet sugar I’m in your blood
And the lightning shakes
White glitter fills my eyes
I can feel the thunder shake and hear the angels cry
White Summer so alive
Baby you stole my eyes
Guitar solo: Stéphan Forté
Timeless maiden’s siren song
Spells my fate and never fades
Push the night and winters gone
I feel my achin' senses call her name
White summer’s pourin' like the rain
Oh I feel it rainin' rainin' rainin'
You’ll always be the Animal in me
Yeah sweet love is flowin' like the sea
Guitar solo: Stéphan Forté
I’m in your Blood, I’m in your Blood
White glitter white rain
It’s a White Summer again

It was a led rain
strafin hard
Goin round and round
Red stains break their hearts
The bodies hit the ground
Desperation runnin' wild
There’s fire in the sky
Too many triggers
Just one hand
With no reason why
All this obliteration is gonna rock the nation
No turnin' back
It’s a cryin' shame
Cause it’s too late to surrender
Too many dreams have died
Too late to surrender
Its gonna be a suicide
Sin City taken by a one-finger death machine
Rapid fire bringin' Hell
like a guillotine
All this devastation is gonna shock the nation
No turnin' back
Paradise long gone
Cause it’s too late to Surrender
Too many dreams have died
Too late to Surrender
Its gonna be a Suicide
Guitar Solo: Johannes Persson
It’s like a guillotine
It’s a one-man one-finger death machine
Desperation runnin' wild
There’s fire in the sky
Too many triggers
Just one hand
With no reason why
All this obliteration is gonna rock the nation
No turnin' back
It’s a cryin' shame
Cause it’s too late to Surrender
Too many dreams have died
too late to Surrender
It’s gonna be a suicide
Cause it’s too late to Surrender
It’s gonna be a one-way ride
too late to Surrender
Oh – It’s too late to surrender

Intro Guitar: George Lynch
She got glitter lites, wild nites
A rock fever cranked up loud
Pyrotechnic, magnetic
She gonna shake the ground
She got skin shows dirty poses
Sexy tramps chasin' my guitar
Wet lips losin' grip
Sinkin' ships on the boulevard
Anytime I wanna play
She could feed my drive
Every time she gives it away
I feel alive
But it’s not Love
It’s Sin City
Ya know It’s never enough
In Sin City
ooh n’ I can see
She’s a Killer Queen Sex Machine
The Devil’s Angel’s sellin' sin
It tastes sweet
Ya like the heat
But your dreams are down in flames
Anytime I wanna play
She could feed my drive
Every time she gives it away
I feel alive
But it’s not love
It’s Sin City ya know
It’s never enough
In Sin City
Come on, let’s go for a ride
Guitar Solo: George Lynch
Glitter lites, wild nites
Drop dead , pretty head
Sex kinetic, magnetic
Sexy tramps every night in bed
She knows you want it yeah
She knows you need it
Hey - You know ya want it
Hey - You know ya need it
Anytime I wanna play
She could feed my drive
Every time she gives it away
I feel alive oh yeah
But it’s not love
It’s Sin City
Ya know It’s never enough
In Sin City
Oh and I can see that it’s all goin' down in flames
But it’s not love no
Bright lights, big City
Hot tramps
Lookin' pretty
Anytime she can feed my drive
Sin City’s so alive
Pretty head is never enough
Drop dead I’m so in love
It’s never enough
I’m goin' down in flames
It’s never enough
Glitter lights, wild nights,
Lookin' pretty
But it ain’t love
It’s just Sin City

Intro Guitar Solo: Ron Coolen
Some son of a bitch made you into a big disgrace
Yeah, the snakes in your veins are boiling over
Some dirty dealer smeared ya all over the place
And your heads runnin’ hot like a supernova
Now ya know that if ya fight you’re gonna die
But ya feel that devil’s bite way down inside
If them demons keep on raging
Pushing hell up from the ground
Ya gotta swallow hard and kill ‘em all right now
You Gotta Shoot Your Devils Down
Well ya know you been masquerading as a quiet guy
But your red linin’ fuse is getting shorter
Some Sunday driver makes ya jam up your wheels
And your brains all messed up out a’ order
Chorus
Guitar Solo 1: Ron Coolen
Guitar Solo 2: Steve Lamb
Guitar Solo 3: Ron Coolen
Some son of a bitch sucker punched your dignity
But the snakes in your veins keep boiling over
Yeah it's come time to shoot your devils down
Shoot ‘em down
Guitar Solo: Joey Concepcion
Yeah shoot your devils
Down

A burned face stole all time
The bitter church bells sang their chime
So many mirrors from the past
He’s barely gripping the edge, barely holding on
How can a man who loves for life
Ever forget his loving wife
Feels like there’s nothing left to find
Oh - No more peace of mind
Nothing left in Paradise ashes to ashes
Nothing left in Paradise dust to dust
The scorching walls keep closing in
The winds of fate took everything
No more memories left to save
Only home is in her grave
Nothing left in Paradise ashes to ashes
Nothing left in Paradise dust to dust
Guitar Solo: Daniël Verberk
All blue skies gone to black
And he will never get them back
Far beneath the setting sun
All alone and undone
Nothing left in Paradise ashes to ashes
Nothing left in Paradise dust to dust

Intro Guitar solo: Joey Concepcion
Prowling
Electric in the hills
A young lion
Stir the still
Now coiled up
Each muscle like a drill
Torqued up lions
Ready, shred, kill
No flight to stay alive
Four hammers hit
Swung hard as sins
Run, you’ll run out your life
You’d best turn
Put ‘em up
And swing
And now you’re in it
You ripped off your skin
And now you’re grinning
Sweating out with kin
And now you’re roaring
You’re not just some thing
Devolved, a predating king
Watch speeding lions
Burning up the planes
Watch speeding lions
White hot searing manes
Watch speeding lions
Drink their bloody fill
Watch speeding lions
Kill kill kill
Watch speeding lions
See ‘em closing fast
Watch speeding lions
Blowing past a crash
Watch speeding lions
Lock in on the hill
Watch speeding lions
Kill kill kill kill
Raise up the killed
Fresh bones
Sinews, scraped of hate
Unbound lions
Bar the gates
Young blood
Should feel they’re lucky prey
Saber teeth
Point the way
Torn up
You’re inside out
The guts spilled were screaming to shout
The dead
Make to escape
Grey shadows are all they can shape
We summon Iron Fist
To pummel your neck
With sparking axes
We cut out your breath
Devastated, but you’re threatening war
Death-sure, we lean in for more

Guitar Solo: Stéphan Forté
Scenes unfold like designs,
Echoed conceptions refined,
All along we've looked outwards for the signs,
Wash away preconceptions,
Follow the path walk the line,
Faith is shattered perceptions are not what we know.
With new insights,
A new world appears from the old,
Limits fade with denial,
Far from the story we're told,
Weathered storms once benign,
Complex decisions in mind,
Every step we take leaves more questions unsolved,
Some bury heads in the sand,
Some have only empty hands,
Years of knowledge all quashed in the blink of an eye
With new insights,
A new world appears from the old,
Limits fade with denial,
Far from the story we're told,
Keyboard solo: Ron Coolen
Guitar solo: Joey Concepcion
With new insights,
A new world appears from the old,
Limits fade with denial,
Far from the story we're told,
How can we evolve,
When we're lost in the flaws of design,
Speaking words we call wisdom but laced with our lies,
Are we the subjects
A rat in a cage we think's free,
All alone we never consider what's real
It's not the way,
Codes in the seeds of life,
Where are all the answers we’ve been trying to find
Hide no longer,
Break from these chains,
Smash down the walls,
Force through it all,
Denial no longer will reign.

Yet another faceless scolding eye,
Critical to the core your words divide.
Conscience means nothing to you
Live to criticize,
Hatred falls from your mouth,
Do you even care at all
You Never, hesitate,
Too blind to see my affliction,
Destroy once more,
Smash down my walls,
Words of bitterness,
Cut me like a knife,
Pulls me down,
suffocates me with spite.
Conscience means nothing (to you)
Live to criticize,
Hatred falls from your mouth,
Do you even care at all
You never, hesitate,
Too blind to see my affliction,
Am I just a puppet to be toyed with,
Release your pain I absorb and it hurts me,
I bare your burden you're weaker than me,
You think you're strong but you're nothing
Guitar Solo: Joey Concepcion
Conscience means nothing (to you)
Live to criticize,
Hatred falls from your mouth,
Do you even care at all
You Never hesitate,
Too blind to see my affliction,
Destroy once more,
Smash down my walls,

You’re standing there, by yourself, worries on your mind
Just waiting there, thru’ the night, trying to unwind
I can feel your pain, deep in my soul, It’s time, I know
What you felt is my desire, yeah
What you saw is not who I am, today
You are the crown on my creation, that’s right
Don’t run away, you are mine tonight
I see your eyes, I see them shine, afraid somehow
And I hear your heart, beating loud, I am the owner now
I took your life into my hands, oh yeah
And I’ve defied the proper care, yes I have
So don’t resist, cause I’ll decide for you, this time
Within my reach, now say goodbye
O, can you feel the force,
Within my selfishness, within my righteousness
Oh yeah within my selfishness
Yeah within my righteousness
Guitar Solo: Joey Concepcion
Keyboard Solo: Ron Coolen
Oh, can you feel the force, I took the core of you
Within my selfishness, within my righteousness
Within my selfishness
It’s all I can, it’s all I live for, can’t you see?
Within my righteousness
Within my selfishness
All I ever did, decide for you, where you should end
Watch me peel your skin, I love its smell, oh I know it well
All I need to do, yes I am allowed
Is to wear you now, your hide’s so fine, now it’s mine
