FACE THE TRUTH ( music and lyrics by Present Danger )

Have you ever lost someone, whose life had just begun
And did you have the face the truth
That he's no longer there, cause life isn’t always fair
But you must try not to lose yourself in the shades of despair

Some say his spirit carries on, and this life isn't the only one
So maybe you will meet again
But for now you must go without
And it leaves you behind in doubt
Is there a heaven op there or a hell
But no one came back, who can tell

Now you're living on your own
You must find a way you've never known
But his memory keeps you in chains
It still remains

Your loss is for always there
Now it feels it's beyond repair
But time will heal all wounds, they say
Though you feel only pain
And it's driving you insane
When darkness is gone you'll see
That only his love will remain

Now you're living on your own
You must find a way you've never known
But his memory keeps you in chains
It still remains

Though you feel only pain
And it's driving you insane
When darkness is gone you'll see
That only his love will remain

Now you're living on your own
You must find a way you've never known
But his memory keeps you in chains
It still remains

Now you're living on your own
You must find a way you've never known
But his memory keeps you in chains
It still remains

KILL TO FULFILL ( music and lyrics by Present Danger )

The sun goes down, another city comes to live
Play by their rule, don't be a fool if you want to survive
And all the people, they wont to see more
Once you step in, there's no escape anymore
Here counts the rule, only strong men stay alive

And when you walk by during the day
Don't have a clue what's going on there at night
There are the places where the law stays away
Nothing they can't  do about this illegal fight
The blood is red, but the money is green
The crowd is roaring and their faces look mean
With hunger waiting for  “the kill” to fulfill their needs

The punches pounding on his face, he doesn't feel the pain
His heart still beating but he knows it is all in vain 
His head is spinning as he falls to the floor
His bloodied eyes can hardly see anymore
And as he dies the whole crowd goes insane

And when you walk by during the day
Don't have a clue what's going on there at night
These are the places where the law stays away
Nothing they can't  do about this illegal fight
The blood is red but the money is green
The crowd is roaring and their faces look mean
With hunger waiting for “ the kill”  to fulfill their needs

THE VIKING AGE ( music and lyrics by Present Danger )

No one survived when the vikings arrived
For their evil was no way to run
With dark eyes they killed everyone on their way
And the terror had only begun
Raping and killing, in front of your eyes
Burn your house down to the ground
Hide all your children before it’s too late
And pray that they’ll never be found

For  300 years there was nothing they feared
Just their name spreading fear cross the land
The vikings were strong, cleft you right to the bone
Only brave men dared to make a stand
When the Vikings arrive you must run for your live
It’s the only and best thing to do
Cause when darkness comes, nothing will be the same
Say goodbye to the world you once knew

Through ancient times they sailed seven seas
Their mighty horns trembling the ground
Dragon like ships, filled with merciless men
Followed the waves of their sound 
Your village will fall when you hear the horns call
You must fight if you want to be free
Hide Women and children and gather all men
Don’t turn your back to sea

JEALOUS MIND ( music and lyrics by Present Danger )

You keep saying that he's just a friend
And that it's just my jealous mind
But I'm afraid that this is gonna end
Cause I’m sure as hell not blind 
 
I’ve got a feeling in a strange kind of way
That you’re lying, and  got secrets for me 
Please be honest and don’t tell me those lies
If you go trough with this, I must say goodbye.
 
Tell me the truth…..if you love me please don’t treat me like a fool.
This feeling is making me insane 
I get so sick of this, it’s burning in my veins 

You say you’re locked in a prison, and you want to be free  
That you want to escape, but you don’t have the key
Why don’t you look in the mirror,  tell me what do you see.
I see the face of a woman who’s cheating on me  
Tell me the truth 

You say you’re locked in a prison, and you want to be free  
That you want to escape, but you don’t have the key
Why don’t you look in the mirror,  tell me what do you see.
I see the face of a woman who’s cheating on me
