lyrics

Working up the masterplan, to come to power
Sharp black tie, around the neck
Don’t show the cards, of your deck
Savage like a white shark, the fools will fall one by one

Powered by greed, a planned strategy, to lead the masses as a king
To be the greatest, you can’t make mistakes
Don’t let your private life come first
If you succeed, you’ll be number one

Take the power now, start with the action, the time is running low
Dealing with the risk, prepared for the attack
Take no prisoners of war
You don’t care, to live without love

(Be careful what you wish for, ‘cause you just might get it)

Hit between the eyes, wake up from the dream
Open up your eyes, it’s time to attack

Fear the Death
There’s the shiny sword hanging up
On your head
You can feel the power rising, strong, filling your hand
Living like a mortal man, you’re a god with the power of death

IF YOU DIE!
Blood will flow on your red carpet
You will be the saint
Slaves will drink the wine from your skull
Nothing’ll ever change
IF YOU DIE!
You’ll be number one!

Fear the Death
There’s the shiny sword hanging up
On your head
You can feel the power rising, strong, filling your hand
Living like a mortal man, you’re a god with the power of death

Fear the Death
There’s the shiny sword hanging up
On your head
You can feel the power rising, strong, filling your hand
Living like a mortal man, you’re a god with the power of death

Termination Shock

Yet another album I’m addicted to. This is definitely one of my favorite NWOTHM releases. It reminds me of being a teenager and discovering Iron Maiden. Love the sci-fi themes. Sludge Mouf

This absolutely rocks! It riffs so hard. Grooving drums and I just want to sing along! Heavy Metal is ALIVE! These are three seriously tight tracks, can't get enough! barleybase

As others have said here, a definite staple in the NWOTHM movement. It has a raw sound that is reminiscent of the era while being a solid banger for a debut album. caffeinatedmetalhead
