Revenge Lyrics

Unholy

Words and Music by Gene Simmons and Vinnie Vincent



I was there through the ages; chained slaves to their cages.
I have seen you eat your own.
I'm the cycle of pain of a thousand year old reign.

I'm suicide and salvation; the omen to nations
that you worship on all fours.
I'm the infection and famine that's knocking at your door.

That's why you're feeling so...

(Unholy!) Oh, I was created by man, you know I'm....
(Unholy!) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

I am the incubus. I lay the egg in you;
the worm that burrows through your brain.
But, you are the beast that calls me by my name.

You send your children to war to serve bastards and whores.
So, now you know, you created me
on the day that you were born.

(Unholy!) I was created by man, yeah I'm the Lord of the flies, you know I'm...
(Unholy!) From the left hand of power comes the father of lies, yeah.
(Unholy!) Unholy!

INSTRUMENTAL


I lay you down to sleep your soul to keep.
Better cross your heart before you die.
And now you know, know that you are mine.

That's why you're feeling so...
(Unholy!) Oh, I was created by man, you know I'm....
(Unholy!) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

(Unholy!) I was created by man, yeah I'm the Lord of the flies, you know I'm...
(Unholy!) From the left hand of power comes the father of lies, yeah.
(Unholy!) Unholy!

Tough Love

Words and Music by Paul Stanley, Bruce Kulick, and Bob Ezrin



I wanna take you down, until the morning light.
Why don't you come around, and let me treat you right?

I'm the one who gave you what you'd never had.
You said I should be gentle and be good but, hoped to hell I would be bad.

I wanna take you, baby gonna make you gimme...Tough...Love .
C'mon and please me; take your time and tease me. Gimme... Tough...Love.

I tie you to the rings. I feel your fever rise.
We love to do the things that others fantasize.

And then you smile and bring me to my knees.
But, when I try a gentle lullabye, I swear I hear you sighing: "Please...".

I wanna take you, baby gonna make you gimme...Tough...Love .
C'mon and please me; take your time and tease me. Gimme... Tough...Love. Tough!!!

But, now I know, and tonight I'm gonna show you how.

Do you know what you want? You don't know for sure.

You don't have money or a fancy car.
And, you're tired of wishin' on a falling star.
You gotta put your faith in a loud guitar.

man, you gotta sweat or you won't get far

You can work real hard or just fantasize.
But, you don't start livin' till you realize!

I gotta tell ya!:

God Gave Rock And Roll To You; Gave Rock And Roll To You; put it in the soul...

Heart Of Chrome

Words and Music by Paul Stanley, Vinnie Vincent, and Bob Ezrin



You better listen up! Since you screwed me you've been on my mind.
Yeah, 'til the day we met, I was cruisin', I was doin' fine.
But, now my world's gone crazy and I think about you all the time.

I'm gonna tell it to ya baby, it ain't like it was.
There'll be no "ifs", "ands", or "maybes", only justice because:

Hey, baby, I'm gonna stick it in your Heart Of Chrome.

Yeah, sugar, I'm gonna stick it in your Heart Of Chrome.
(and now you're gonna see, that since you messed with me, you'll pay eternally, for your Heart Of Chrome)
For your Heart Of Chrome!

Yeah, you really made a fool outta me.
Everybody knew you used me, but I was just too blind to see.
You taped our sexy conversations and you sold 'em to the BBC.

You told me: "People can't be trusted, you gotta watch the things they do.".
But, if you still believe in justice, I'm gonna give it to ya, give it to ya. Ooh!

Hey, baby, I'm gonna stick it in your Heart Of Chrome.

Thou Shalt Not

Words and Music by Gene Simmons and Danny Damon



I lived most of my life in New York City. Born and raised in the promised land.
One day this man in black said, "Listen Jack"; told me I was chosen to kiss the ring on his hand.

He said: "Kindly reconsider the sins of your past.".
And, I said: "Mister you can kindly kiss my ass.".

(Thou shalt not...)
But, I know what I want.
(Thou shalt not...)
(Thou shalt not...)
But, I know what I need.
(Thou shalt not...)

Well, the son of a bitch must be crazy; tellin' me I'm gonna go down.
I said, "this ain't the inquisition, you ain't the son of God and, I sure as hell don't give a damn.".

He said: "You're long gone, can't you tell?"
an' I said: "Mister, if I'm goin', I'll see you in hell! Yeah!".
(Thou shalt not...)
But, I know what I want. (Thou shalt not...) (Thou shalt not...)
But, I know what I need. (Thou shalt not...) (Thou shalt not...)
Gotta live my life (Thou shalt not...) (Thou shalt not...)
any way I please (Thou shalt not...)

Don't even try, you know I'd die to be free.
And you wonder why, you can't bring this guy to his knees?
'Cause I know what I want. Yes, I know what I need.
Well, I know what I want. I know what I need.
Gotta live my life just the way I please.

INSTRUMENTAL


'Cause I know what I want, yeaaahhhhh!

Every Time I Look At You

Words and Music by Paul Stanley and Bob Ezrin



Tryin' to say "I'm sorry", didn't mean to break your heart
and find you waitin' up by the light of day.
There's a lot I want to tell you, but I don't know where to start
and I don't know what I'd do if you walked away.

Ooh, baby I tried to make it. I just got lost along the way.

But Every Time I Look At You, no matter what I'm goin' through, it's easy to see
that, every time I hold you, the things I never told you, seem to come easily,
'Cause you're everything to me.

I never really wanted to let you get inside my heart.
I wanted to believe this would soon be ending.
I thought it wouldn't matter, if it all just came apart,
but, now, I realize I was just pretending.

Ooh, baby, I know I hurt you, but you can still believe in me.

But Every Time I Look At You, no matter what I'm goin' through, it's easy to see
that, every time I hold you, the things I never told you, seem to come easily,
'Cause you're everything to me.

It's gonna take a little time to show you, just what you mean to me, oh yeah, yeah.
It seems the more I get to know you, the more I need to make you see you're everything I need, yeah!

INSTRUMENTAL


Ooh, baby, baby, baby, I know I hurt you, but you can still believe in me.

'Cause you're everything to me. You're everything to me. You're everything to me.

Who cares, I'm in a trance, I got no hope, I don't stand a chance.
But it's all right, yes it's all right.

I Just Wanna

Words and Music by Paul Stanley and Vinnie Vincent



I got a body built for sin and an appetite for passion.
Yeah, I can see the road to ruin and I'm lookin' for some action.

I got my finger on the trigger and a match to the fuse.
I'll make someone an offer that's too big to refuse.
Tired of tryin' to be what I'll never be, baby, you could never see that.

I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance, I Just Wanna forget you
Time to take my chances, find somebody new I Just Wanna fuh, I Just Wanna fuh, I Just Wanna forget you.

I'm gonna set the night on fire, shootin' like a Roman Candle.
Ooh yeah, I'm burnin' with desire and I'm much too hot to handle.

I'm like a runaway, crazy train, I'm out of control.
If you try to put the brakes on, I'm still gonna roll.
Tired of tryin' to do what you want me to.
Baby, I'm just tired of you, yeah!

I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance, I Just Wanna forget you
Time to take my chances, find somebody new I Just Wanna fuh, I Just Wanna fuh, I Just Wanna forget you.

INSTRUMENTAL


Wake up, baby, don't you sleep, I can't take this one more week.
If I can't go out to play, I can't make it one more day.

I wanna play with dynamite, time is right for heavy breathing.
Gettin' stone cold crazy 'til the dawn without a reason.

I wanna take me a vacation down a long stretch of track.
I'll find a new sensation and I ain't comin' back.
Tired of tryin' to be what I'll never be.
Baby, you could never see that.

I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance.
I don't want a romance, or a second chance.
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance.
I Just Wanna fuh, I Just Wanna forget

I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance, I Just Wanna forget you
Time to take my chances, find somebody new I Just Wanna fuh, I Just Wanna fuh, I Just Wanna forget.

I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance, I Just Wanna forget you
Time to take my chances, find somebody new I Just Wanna fuh, I Just Wanna fuh, I Just Wanna forget you.

I Just Wanna forget you, yeah!



Carr Jam '81

Music by Eric Carr, Bruce Kulick, Gene Simmons, and Paul Stanley

No words. This is an instrumental


From the liner notes: "During the Christmas break (DEC. '91), while going through the vaults, Ezrin came acroos an old 24 track of a hot riff written by Eric Carr and recorded by us in Toronto in May of 1981. It included a thunderous drum solo...the only one Eric ever recorded.


We left the original bass, drum and Paul's guitar as they were recorded in in 1981, and over-dubbed Bruce on lead guitar.


We cut it down to length so that the drum solo became the featured part.


We included it here because it was a wonderful chance for all of us to remember how great Eric really was
