Lyrics

Powerdrive

Hotter than an atom bomb

Holocaust so vast

While devastation is our homeland

Light ain't all that fast

Vesuvius erupts our tune

Igniting all in reach

Leaving all in purgatory

Until time decides to teach

Power Drive

Power Drive

Power Drive

Wilder than a charging beast

Our methods set on death

Elements recharge our songs

No time to catch your breath

The richtor scale determines

If our instruments in tune

Candle light the new volcano

Power shines the moon

Laser lights the soul until

The final curtain drops

Power Drive

Power Drive

Power Drive

Corpses guard there dynasty

But power never dies

See our raging bolts of hell

And mayhem in your eyes

Exorcet the boiling oil

The volume never stops

Laser lights the soul until

The final curtains dropped

Leaving all in purgatory

Until time decides to teach

Power Drive

Power Drive

Power Drive
