Blood for Gold 07:46
lyrics
buy track
Alas headlong we fly into the battle A war that should not have come has just begun We fight to the death for the gold that lies in the caverns Deep within the mines of Jaridan Two Kings with a hunger for wealth they call out their armies To decide once and for all who’ll take the mines From the plains of Paxadon the mountains of Dawns Lear They come with great speed to spill blood under twin suns [Chorus] All though our mission is bold, Our hearts tell us we’ve been betrayed Blood is more precious than gold, Men by the thousands they die Their fate in the hands of the Kings, Nothing but gold in their eyes We fought until the forth night until it all ended Until there were no more men left to fight the war The Kings they met on the field to survey the bloodshed An undeniable wrong for which they were the source The men were brought to the mines for the final vigil The Kings they vowed it would never happen again Weapons armor and men were laid near the treasure Then they sealed the catacombs of Jeridan [Chorus] All though our mission is bold, Our hearts tell us we’ve been betrayed Blood is more precious than gold, Men by the thousands they die Their fate in the hands of the Kings, Nothing but gold in their eyes [Chorus] All though our mission is bold, Our hearts tell us we’ve been betrayed Blood is more precious than gold, Men by the thousands they die Their fate in the hands of the Kings, Nothing but gold in their eyes The Price OF Greed Is Tragedy Lord Help Us All

Born without choice alone unaware a future uncertain Now we face the day unprepared there’s no way no way to escape The end of all time the end of all life the last page is written No time to cry no time to accuse we’ve but seconds to live We’ve but seconds to live The ultimate sin violation of life the earths been betrayed And so my child the knowledge is reached and your chance has been lost They’ve shattered the sun they broken the law but who’ll make them pay They will survive underground and for what the line can’t be crossed No the line can’t be crossed [Chorus] Oh no what have we done what have we done We’ve made the mistake we begun to erase all we know what have we done Oh no what have we done what have we done We’ve extinguished the flame we’ve taken the blame a new age has come Say your last prayer the end is here I’m sorry to say Who are the lucky the old or the young neither I fear The old have experience the young they don’t know what’s happening today Their hopes and their visions within a few moments will be all wiped away They’ll be all wiped away [Chorus] Oh no what have we done what have we done We’ve made the mistake we begun to erase all we know what have we done Oh no what have we done what have we done We’ve extinguished the flame we’ve taken the blame a new age has come [Chorus] Oh no what have we done what have we done We’ve made the mistake we begun to erase all we know what have we done Oh no what have we done what have we done We’ve extinguished the flame we’ve taken the blame a new age has come

I lie before you and my length is undefined I come to greet you every minute of your life You feel my consequence you wish you could foresee The outcome of your stay here is strictly up to me [Chorus] I am future, I hold the key To your existence, why can’t you see I’ve been around here, since the dawn of time Try to control me, and you might lose your mind I can bring you happiness or fill your life with dread I can make you rich as hell or I can bring your death You sit and wonder what will happen to your life Will you make it far, can you survive [Chorus] I hold the secrets that may one day be revealed Until that time has come within me they are sealed [Chorus]

Free the world from those who mock our ways Don’t try to hide the accusations made You are the ones that keep our faith alive They are the ones who persecute our kind [Chorus] Run were on your trail don’t look back where on your tail We will attack hide where you will watch the sky your feeling ill You’re going to DIE Who are they to judge what’s right or wrong We’ve come too far for them to stop us now They are the ones who’s laughing eyes are blind It’s too late for us to change their minds [Chorus] Run were on your trail don’t look back where on your tail We will attack hide where you will watch the sky your feeling ill You’re going to DIE Free the world from those who mock our ways Don’t try to hide the accusations made You are the ones that keep our faith alive They are the ones who persecute our kind [Chorus] Run were on your trail don’t look back where on your tail We will attack hide where you will watch the sky your feeling ill You’re going to DIE DIE DIE DIE

To Die In The Sun 04:16
lyrics

The rising dust the clash of steel The show of blood for the crowds appeal You fight to win for freedoms gain You curse the sun you feel the pain The trial begins on scorching sand Spilling the blood of another man In the heat of the sun the battles begun, you will not rest [Chorus] The sun the crowds and the sand The sword you hold in your hand You’ll fight until it is done You lose and you Die In The Sun Your helmet is hot your blade is bright Your leather breast is pulling tight The other man, skin of black Trident in hand for him to attack For reasons you know your thrown on the sand You lose your life or kill this man One way or another you are set free, you know [Chorus] You swing through the air the targets found You feel the wound you fall to the ground The prong cut deep all hope is lost You pay the price you soul is the cost Foot on your breast knife at your throat He turns to the box they give him the vote All thumbs are down they seal your fate You die in the sand [Chorus] [Chorus]

That was then and this is now If only you could change the past but how [Chorus] Things they aren’t what they used to be The world around me doesn’t seem as free To the hands of time we are bound That was the and this is now You’ve come to a point in your life Where you know what is wrong and what is right [Chorus] Things were so much easier back there No uncertainty and no despair [Chorus] You’ve got to be able to adapt If we don’t learn to cope we will be trapped [Chorus] Don’t spend time dwelling on the past Look ahead to the present task You’ve come this far and you should be proud Because that was then and this is now

The Horsemen 05:48
lyrics
buy track
On the horizon a distant rider appears His absolution at the heart of all man’s fears Your destiny will take you there To meet his hollow empty stare in despair The second rider commences to slowly remove all your strength You live in a land strewn with rocks dust and sand there’s no sustenance there Dust floats up through the air, you are damned! Hunger sickness and death are all that remains in his wake. A victim of fate with no choice but to wait for relief that won't come you'll be seared by the sun It’s too late, to find peace in your troubled and desperate mind. Though you have the will, you have not the time. The third of four to arrive will turn your heart black with fear at the thought of living in pain No cure no hope in the world to survive. The rot the decay the disgust that they feel inside is a curse unsurpassed the burns in your mind Burning deep, to the core of all you hold true. Light crashing through the darkness erupting from the shadows in a screaming blaze His red steed bears down upon them, a horsemen feared by all who've seen him Rendering massive destruction the rider watches with a grin The last man falls his will undaunted Now the rider begins to laugh HA HA HA ! He’s coming here, he’s going there To threaten all, life, limb and land As he reaches out to take you by the hand Don’t go! Hold on, as long as you can As he leaves the horizon A new life unchanged looks on

The Darkling 06:33
lyrics

The dragons are gone, their numbers have dwindled away In the land of the son, they are but legend today Stories are told, of their reign on the earth And the power of flame, that was given at birth King of the Drakes, the Darkling still lives Ruling the warrens, the glory is his Living in exile, banned from the warmth of the mans land They dwell in the north, under dragons command [Chorus] Born of Cold Drake and Dragon, The Darkling is filled with demise The land of spires and monoliths, is where his torment lies His breed is cold and hungry, His children are destined to die He takes the task upon himself, And then they take to the sky The Darkling is on his way, he’s black against the grey He has come for this golden land Lost with no dreams to make a stand Defying the law, the dark one moves in Coming in from the north they blacken the sun In the realm of man, all live is still Hiding in fear, they come in for the kill [Chorus]

Pirates of Time 05:50

The wind is howling through the rigging the rising sun setting their pace None of the crewmen suspecting this to be their last race [Chorus] They came without warning, Pirates of time Jolly Roger approaching ancient symbol of time And now they’re upon us with fire in their eyes No chance for mercy Pirates of Time The wind is howling through the rigging the rising sun setting their pace Sailing away from the wreckage drinking to profits this day [Chorus] The papers had no explanation of what had become of the crew And though there questions unanswered the truth was never revealed. [Chorus]

Child Saint 06:00

See the CHILD SAINT rising above the ground Forget all that you believe The Modern Day Prophet is found Hear Satan screaming, his power is fading fast His hold on the earth is over His days are numbered at last [Chorus] Feel the anger and the wrath of the God you ignored You will die by the sword The forgiveness of the CHILD SAINT Adored in your eyes No more lies See the CHILD SAINT rise We’re an image in the sinners soul Crying vengeance aloud Hear Satan screaming his reign is at an end His mortal body is buried His soul back to hell we will send [Chorus]

about

Child Saint was the brain child of lead guitarists John Spectre, Brian Scott, and manager Rick Rayl. Formed in 1984 in Orange County California, Child Saint took advantage of the red-hot metal market in Hollywood/Southern California to find the best musicians available.

After adding Bassist Steve “Ripper” Hardin in late 84 and Drummer Gary Schultze in Early 85, Child Saint recorded their first demo in March of 85 and in a very short time, receiving airtime on KNAC Radio and KLOS Radio as well as headlining clubs throughout Orange County and Los Angeles County. Singers came and went as Child Saint looked for a true Heavy Metal singer. The first was Rudy Gray who appeared on the first recording sessions of Child Saint that played on radio in Southern California. Rudy left the band to join Enticer. Bob McCormack was next in the lineup of singers. He arrived for an audition on a Harley in 86 and became the singer for several years. Child Saint went back into the studio to record The Child Saint 2 song EP that is now a collectors item and very hard to find. Bob McCormack left the band and we found Tim Winchester. Tim came into the band and really killed it. With Tim, Child Saint recorded 4 new songs and continued selling out many any live shows to large crowds at many venues.

The band was heavily influenced by Judas Priest and Iron Maiden and that was reflected in the song writing. Keeping up steady pace of live performances, the band played extensively in Hollywood and Orange County as regulars at The Troubador, Whisky a Go-Go, The Roxy and Gazzarris in Hollywood and Jezebels and The Marquee in Orange County.
