In the night,
the seawinds are calling
And the city is far far away
Soon the sea turns to darkness
It is night and the seawinds are calling
Seawinds call, seawinds call

All songs written by Udo Dirkschneider, Peter Baltes, Wolf Hoffmann, Jörg Fischer and Frank Friedrich.

  • In the night, the seawinds are calling
    And the city is far far away
    Soon the sea turns to darkness
    It is night and the seawinds are calling
    Seawinds call, seawinds call
    • Seawinds
  • Time will come - we'll have to pay
    An evil war will come some day
    I feel frosty atmosphere
    Don't you see that the point is near
    • Sounds of War
  • Can't you hear the laughter
    Of the devil in the night
    Children must be soldiers
    Have no fear and have to fight
    • Free Me Now
  • Hey little woman - Accept tonight!
    Come, rock 'n' roll and feel alright
    Hey, woman - dance tonight
    Hey woman - don't you fight
    Hey little woman - Accept tonight!
    Come, rock 'n' roll and hold me tight again
    • That's Rock 'n' Roll
 
I'm a rebel, rebel, don't you just know it.
  • I'm a rebel, rebel, don't you just know it
    I'm a rebel, rebel
    And they're all laughing at me
  • He tears you from the ground and takes you higher and higher
    Feel his magic's all around - his eyes are burning like fire
    • Save Us, written by Udo Dirkschneider, Peter Baltes, Wolf Hoffmann, Jörg Fischer and Stefan Kaufmann
  • Get the touch
    Can't stand the pain
    It's too much, much too much
    He's the winner, he's the sinner,
    The man beyond the good
    • Thunder and Lightning, written by Udo Dirkschneider, Peter Baltes, Wolf Hoffmann, Jörg Fischer and Stefan Kaufmann
  • 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
    • The King, written by Udo Dirkschneider, Peter Baltes, Wolf Hoffmann, Jörg Fischer, Stefan Kaufmann and Dirk Steffens
 
Accept what we do
This message to you
Is rock forever and ever
We've still got the feel
The music is real
And we'll rock'n'roll forever

    Way out there in the blue
    • Starlight
  • He's a breaker

    I'm livin' this way, if livin' is true
    • Down and Out
 
Some say yes and some say no
Understanding is the deal
Come hear the music
It's a brand new feel

    He's a killer - he'll rip out your heart
    On a one way track and you're not coming back
    'cause the killer's on the attack
    • Fast as a Shark, written by Wolf Hoffmann, Stefan Kaufmann, Udo Dirkschneider and Peter Baltes

    You've gotta go your way

    It's a brand new feel

    • Shake Your Heads, written by Wolf Hoffmann, Stefan Kaufmann, Udo Dirkschneider and Peter Baltes

    Going nowhere
    Fading dreams of the city

    Sweet love affairs
    Crimes of passion for the pretty

    • Neon Nights, written by Deaffy, Robert A. Smith-Diesel and Accept

You better watch the damned

You'll get your balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall

    You'll get your balls to the wall, man
    Balls to the wall

  • Come on man, let's stand up all over the world
    Let's plug a bomb in everyone's ass
    If they don't keep us alive
    We're gonna fight for the right
    Build a wall with the bodies of the dead and you're saved
    Make the world scared
    Come on, show me the sign of victory
    • Balls to the Wall
  • Swearing that he would do - he could not even say
    Boy dressed in leather - boy died in pain
    They're the easy riders - but heroes die too fast
    He was more than the best of the bunch
    • London Leatherboys
  • Always been the prophets
    Who make the world evolve
    Always been the average breaking it down
    Majority the unknown
    Giving us the rules
    It's more than luck to get the standard
    • Fight It Back
  • Now, if you hate it
    You gotta fight it back
    Just try to change it
    Fight it, fight it back
    • Fight It Back
  • Don't know what I am, a woman or a man
    Many troubles behind me
    I'm doing all I can but I'm what I am
    Leave me alone don't mistreat me
    • Love Child
  • I don't like people working all day
    Only working just to see next tomorrow
    But they are happy while they're living that way
    In that world I gotta beg, steal or borrow
    • Guardian of the Night
  • Cold winter nights, cold winter dreams
    Reflecting the sound of my heart - it's my taste of freedom
    Cold winter nights, cold winter dreams
    Don't try to tear me apart - cold winter dreams

    When you turn the world upside down
    Don't pretend if you love

    And the world stinks, and the paradise is now a sewer
    And they sell shit for gold
    And you have to take what you've got
    • Heaven Is Hell

    One for all - it's the human key
    All in all

    • Hellhammer
  • Now you've jumped off from the ride
    There's so much left that's worth it living for

    And you won't see while walkin' with closed eyes, no
    • D-Train
  • I won't be long
    Before we realize
    That we've given in
    To the power of love - yes we do

    There's a message in our life
    It makes me wonder why
    There's a vibe we can't deny

    • Break the Ice
 
Revolution in the streets
Our vision turned into reality
Too late to stop it now
A spark that's lit a fire burning high

All lyrics written by Accept and Deaffy.

  • The judge's hammer falls
    Eruption in the court room
    The cry goes up: "It's anarchy!"
    Just stick your bloody rules

    The judge's hammer falls
    Let's loot them out of office
    Some heads are gonna roll
    The cry goes up: "It's anarchy!"

    • Objection Overruled
  • Heaven knows
    Heaven knows I tried
    To be like you
    To be a part of the tribe

    I'd rather leave it all behind
    But that's alright
    I'm not your average type
    No Mr. Clean - hey, I wanna be me

    • I Don't Wanna Be Like You
  • Fear not those who dare to tread
    upon the ashes of the chosen ones
    They will drink the spillage of the blood
    Behind closed doors the darkest
    one prepares his altar of death
    • Protectors of Terror
  • Born to be the bloodhounds
    In the legions of the damned
    A million miles of madnesses
    On the battleground of screaming guitars
    • Slaves to Metal
  • Revolution in the streets
    Our vision turned into reality
    Too late to stop it now
    A spark that's lit a fire burning high

    Together we'll be strong - we're gonna fight them all
    We got the power - to turn the world around

    In the jungle of life

A thousand years from now on
The flame of life's gone out
The earth - a frozen wasteland
No living trace - no sounds

The world did die in anguish
The ashes turned to dust
Fire and ice - blackness of night
Man's evolution has lost

All lyrics written by Accept and Deaffy.

  • This universe of hatred
    Aggression is the force
    Heading for oblivion
    We're on collision-course

    Evolution's over
    The devil has prevailed
    Heaven screams for vengeance
    This is judgement day

    • Sodom & Gomorra
  • Heroes - keep dying
    Nations - dividing
    Principles - they're gone
    It's war

    Wallstreet - buy in politics
    Jesus - up for sale
    Do anything - for money
    I'm a whore

    • What Else
  • They terrorize and
    tyrannize democracies
    Their narrow minds still nothing
    learned from history
    The seeds of hate acquired from
    their ancestry
    Spreading like a cancer in societies
    • Stone Evil
  • We buried tolerance and our respect
    Became a breeding ground for social dismay
    Whatever happened to the love-generation
    With black and white hand in hand side by side
    • Prejudice
  • Generation Clash
    Generation Clash - you got
    the guts to go
    Generation Clash -
    kiss those times goodbye
    • Generation Clash II
  • A thousand years from now on
    The flame of life's gone out
    The earth - a frozen wasteland
    No living trace - no sounds

    The world did die in anguish
    The ashes turned to dust
    Fire and ice - blackness of night
    Man's evolution has lost

    • Writing on the Wall
 
Roaming through the forest
Along the mountainsides
Moving through the darkness
I'm a creature of the wild

    Nothing's guaranteed
    You might give your soul away
    To cut yourself a deal
    • Crucified, written by Wolf Hoffmann, Peter Baltes, Udo Dirkschneider and Deaffy
  • They're black or white
    Crime is colour blind
    Rage is breaking loose
    For our defence
    It makes good sense
    Lock 'em all away
    • Take Out the Crime, written by Stefan Kaufmann, Udo Dirkschneider and Deaffy

    But big brother is watching you

    • Primitive, written by Wolf Hoffmann and Peter Baltes
 
So we drive... through the night
With the howling wind at our backs
Riding on Teutonic terror
We will... Give em' the axe
We will... Give em' the axe

    Cut the ropes that bind you
    Stand up... straight into your fear
    Leave the past behind you

    Your cautious ways... have spawned your nothing

    We will... Give em' the axe
    We will... Give em' the axe
    • Teutonic Terror, written by Wolf Hoffmann, Mark Tornillo and Peter Baltes
  • The future is predestined... the writing's on the wall
    Can you see the telltale signs. The turning point has come
    Here it comes
    Suicide bombs exploding as missiles crack the sky
    Earthquakes and tsunamis, signal the end of time
    • The Abyss, written by Wolf Hoffmann, Mark Tornillo and Peter Baltes
  • Everybody's on probation... Close to the end of the line
    Subject to cancellation... Livin' on borrowed time
    One day you've got it all... Then you're flat on your back
    So hurry up and get your ticket... Cos' the train's comin' down the track
    • New World Comin', written by Wolf Hoffmann, Mark Tornillo and Peter Baltes
 
Together we stand,
thinking with just one mind
Branded and pierced,
fists in the air tonight
Millions of lives,
brought together by common ground
A family entwined,
one global nation profound

All lyrics written by Mark Tornillo.

  • So cold and lonely it seems so long since someone was here
    Following the shadows, with the sun till it disappears
    Thousands of stone white crosses, a formation for all to see
    With flags and flames, the ranks and the names of those who died to be free
    • Shadow Soldiers
  • What's wrong, with this picture
    The poor get poorer and the rich get richer
    Banks ready to foreclose..... "hard luck”
    Occupy the streets
    Get up, take action, be a link in the chain reaction
    It's time to unify..... "stand up"
    Get up on your feet
    • Revolution

    Branded and pierced, fists in the air tonight
    Millions of lives, brought together by common ground
    A family entwined, one global nation profound

  • A hand is winding the clock in your head
    Tensions rise, push the needle to red
    Pick up the tempo, it's getting late
    You've got that inner need...... accelerate
    • The Quick and the Dead

All songs written by Peter Baltes, Wolf Hoffmann and Mark Tornillo.

  • Once upon a midnight, the metal flag was raised
    Long ago a sabbath black cut through the purple haze
    Upon a silver mountain a message loud and clear
    Screaming with a vengeance that we will forever hear
    • Dying Breed
