get them as perfect as possible. If you think further

corrections are needed, have the updated solos, or a

been hard at work making my previous 'FSSD' tabs better.

Enjoy!

--'REIGN OF TERROR' LYRICS--

(Peterson/Ramirez)

Marching their way through the crypts of the dead

Taking the storm by command

Killing the victims and taking them slaves

Hitler's violent 3rd Reich

The victims are worried

The warheads have passed

The fires claim your fate

Hell leads his armies to march and defy

Lucifer takes his way

Obey this despot the victims wail

Victims have taken the toll

The cold winds of winter are prison forever

Fires claim your fate

Your fate!

Fighting the way though the mists of the night

Taking the life from young souls

Marching, our armies, they prepare to fight

The city's finally destroyed

Machine guns are firing, that takes our robot

Finding our way through hell

Generals, smiling, teach us to fight

Our armies have done well

Obey this despot the victims wail

Victims have taken the toll

The cold winds of winter are prison forever

Fires claim your fate

...Your fate!

Though... the dead... have trapped... us in

We'll break.. the back... of torture and pain

Fashioned... hammers... wielded... weight

Cursing... the black path... to hell's... gate

The magic's lost, and taking its course

The world lives in fear, death gods are near

Awake in the dust, the battle now lost

We watched you defy, now it's time for you to die

Marching their way through the crypts of the dead

Taking the storm by command

Killing the victims and taking them slaves

Hitler's violent 3rd Reich

The victims are worried

The warheads have passed

The fires claim your fate

Hell leads his armies to march and defy

Lucifer takes his way

Obey this despot the victims wail

Victims have taken the toll

The cold winds of winter are prison forever

Fires claim your fate

Your fate!

No! No! No! No!

Die!

Your Fate!
