Panik Attack

I'm not going to panic

Here in the shadows, stretch over the night
Attack without warning, a stick of strong light
The brave. The darkness. If I stand right here
No matter how you come at me I'll show no fear

I won't give up
I won't break down
I'm not going to panic

I will not run, I'll stand and fight
All you've done wrong how close and right
No matter what you try tonight
I'm not going to panic

So my heart returned, that's the worst you can do?
Shivers up my spine I'm not afraid of you
The dark can be scary until you fight
Things you thought worth fighting for
Are only in your mind

I'm not going to panic
I'm not going to panic
I will not run, I'll make my play

I won't give up
I won't break down
I'm not going to panic
I'm not going to panic

3. I'm Back
Lead vocals - David Rolfe

Disappeared, out of here
It was time to pay my dues
Never guessed that you'd be dressed
In my clothes and in my shoes

You couldn't wait to move right in
If I were you I'd be concerned
Ain't no way you're gonna win
Bet you didn't count on my return

Thought you were so tough
You had it all under control
Now enough is enough
Gonna take back what you stole

(Give it up, cos now I'm back)

On my own, all alone
But this ain't how the story ends
Now I see those close to me
They were just fair weather friends

You suckered everyone in sight
With promises that fooled them all
You may be top dog tonight
The bigger they come the harder they fall

Thought you were so tough
You had it all under control
Now enough is enough
Gonna take back what you stole

[For our plan to succeed Kaiba must be taken out of the picture permanently.
You'll never take me alive.
Seto Kaiba will bother us no more.
I'm not gonna give up Kaiba Corporation without a real fight, it's take over time by me.
I attack with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.]

Thought you were so tough
You had it all under control
Now enough is enough
Gonna take back what you stole

(Give it up, cos now I'm back)

[We're going in.
Big brother! You're here! You're here!]

Thought you were so tough
You had it all under control
Now enough is enough
Gonna take back what you stole

5. Your Move
Lead vocals - James Chatton

Your move!
It's time to duel and there's no backing down
The heart of the cards is where magic is found
We've played this game before, but never this quite this way
Its like an all out war with monsters that obey

Yu-Gi-Oh!
He's the King of Games
Yu-Gi-Oh!
King of Games

Your move!
Nowhere to turn now the traps have been set
Play that one last surprise, hey it ain't over yet
They've got the upper hand, but that won't last for long
It's time to take a stand and show 'em that youre strong

Yu-Gi-Oh!
He's the King of Games!
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Hey!

Egyptian secrets are revived
Ancient powers have survived
When wrong from right's not black and white
Friends will help to win the fight
Solve the Puzzle's mystery
Unlock a hero's destiny
Now alter egos, no one knows
Side by side they fight their foes

It's time to duel!
These dual identities, they struggle for control
Two personalites inhabiting one soul

It's not a match you're in, it's much more like a brawl
The only way to win, you've got to risk it all

Your move!
It's time to duel and there's no backing down
The heart of the cards is where magic is found
We've played this game before, but never this quite this way
Its like an all out war with monsters that obey

Yu-Gi-Oh!
He's the King of Games
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Hey!

Yu-Gi-Oh!
He's the King of Games
Yu-Gi-Oh!
(Yu-Gi-Oh!)

Yu-Gi-Oh!
He's the King of Games
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yu-Gi-Oh!
He's the King of Games
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Your move!

6. Duel Madness
Lead vocals - Adam Elk

(Virtual systems ready)

Got to find a way just to play just a little game
Got a compulsion, want to be a champion
Got to feel the heart, got to be smart play the card
Got to get inside the mind of my counterpart

Yeah!

That's the key, I'm a split personality
Duel Sensation, that's my destiny

I've got Duel Madness in my brain
Monster influence, in my veins

Got find a way inside this fantasy
Holographic Duelling Monster reality
Got to find a way, got to see my strategies
Yu-Gi-Oh! I'm a dual duality

I've got Duel Madness in my brain

Summon the Dragon. Blue-Eyes White
Send in the Swords of Revealing Light

Will Yugi control the power
Or will the power control Yugi?

Got a card face down, make a face-up crowd
Face up, showdown, say the words out loud

Duel Madness!

I've got Duel Madness in my brain
Monster influence, in my veins

Got to think be wise, realise the situation
Animate your cards, make a power combination

Sick-a-pow, Sick-a-Pow
Sick-a-sick-a-pow, Pow
Wanna do, wanna do
What I wanna wanna do?

Sick-a-pow, Sick-a-Pow

Monster influence, in my veins

I've got Duel Madness in my brain

7. No Matter What
Lead vocals - Mike Pasternack

(Yeah, yeah)

How'd it come to this, after all we've been through
Two of a pair, now on opposite sides
From the very start, with honour we've duelled
Watched each other's back, and we've battled with pride

We are closer than brothers
Now we have to fight each other
And we trust our fate to the Heart of the Cards

(No matter what) Let the game begin
(No matter what) May the best man win
(No matter what) We're in this together
(No matter what) We'll be friends forever

(No matter what)
(Yeah, yeah)

It's been you and me, hanging out playing games
Didn't ever think it would get this hard
Time's running out, and there's so much at stake
Everything riding on the turn of a card

We'll show them what we're made of
As we fight for the ones we love
And we'll be friends to the very end

(No matter what) Let the game begin
(No matter what) May the best man win
(No matter what) We're in this together
(No matter what) We'll be friends forever

(No matter what)
(Yeah)

I don't wanna give up, but I will never give in
Don't wanna duel with my very best friend
I could throw the whole match, let him win every play
But there's so much at stake, I just can't walk away
Though I need a victory, you've always meant the world to me
And that's one thing that'll never change

(No matter what) Let the game begin
(No matter what) May the best man win
(No matter what) We're in this together
(No matter what) We'll be friends forever

(No matter what) Let the game begin
(No matter what) May the best man win
(No matter what) We're in this together
(No matter what) We'll be friends forever

(No matter what)

9. Ahead of the Game
Lead vocals - Jim Steed

Not so fast, think you've won
I'm here to say we're far from done
Just you wait and then you'll see
The games not over it's up to me

Cause I am ahead of the game
And nothing will be the same

I create the games we play
Every detail is mine to say
you have luck, you might have skill
but when you lose you'll say that I have the will

Cause I am ahead of the game
and nothing will be the same

All of my technology, all of my smarts
My creativity will rip you apart
My Liquidity, Giant bell asheet
All of my secrets, hey I'll win cheap.

Cause I am ahead of the game(when we're standin' face to face)
And nothing will be the same(when I put you in your place)

Cause I am ahead of the game(every detail is mine to say)
and nothing will be the same(you can't lay this on the line)

Cause I am ahead of the game
and nothing will be the same(when l put you in your place)

Cause I am ahead of the game
and nothing will be the same.......

10. We'll Be There
Lead vocals - Dominic Nolfi and Lindsey Warner

[Everyone, put your hands together and I'll mark us with a special sign
Huh?
What gives Tea?
It's a symbol of our friendship, so when Yugi's duelling, no matter how tough it gets, he'll know that he's not alone]

Think of us and we'll be there
In your heart forever
Sometimes when you're unsure
Sometimes when you're afraid
At times it's hard to live
With the choices you have made

Turn around and we'll be there
Always by your side
When it's time to stand the test
I know you'll shine above the rest
When you try and find your way

We'll be there
We'll be there
We'll be there
We'll be there

Hold out your hands
And promise to be true
We'll make us always a part of you

When it's time to stand the test
I know you'll shine above the rest
When you try and find your way

We'll be there
We'll be there
We'll be there
We'll be there

We'll stick together through the thick and thin
That's the meaning of a real friend
And when it's time to stand the test
(Oh we'll be there)
Friendship shines above the rest
(Oh if you're filled with doubt)
We'll stick together through the thick and thin
(Or when you're down and out)
That's the meaning of a real friend
(And if you near the end)
And when it's time to stand the test
(And you could need a friend)
Friendship shines above the rest

We'll stick together through the thick and thin
That's the meaning of a real friend
And when it's time to stand the test
Friendship shines above the rest

11. Face Up, Face Down
Lead vocals - Darren Dunstan

Welcome all my honored guests
To the utimate duel of the best of the best
At my invitation you come to compete
For the honor of suffering the final defeat

Isn't it grand what I've managed to do
By kidnapping those closest to you
I've taken their souls to lay on the line
In a winner take all duel for all time

Let's play the game
I'm sure you all know how
But watch yourselves my foolish friends
You're all in my world now

Face up, Face down. Attack or Defend
Face up, Face down. This battle's to the end
Face up, Face down. Stay on guard
Face up, Face down. Play your strongest card

My arena waits us all
I built it myself, it is just down the hall
I wish this day hadn't come so fast
You see I truly wanted your pain to last

Face up, Face down. Attack or Defend
Face up, Face down. This battle's to the end
Face up, Face down. Stay on guard
Face up, Face down. Play your strongest card

All your cunning strategies, all the tricks you try
Look like merely child's play to my Millennium Eye
Ha, ha, ha, ha! Your turn Yugi-boy

What's wrong now you look so sad?
Losing your soul doesn't feel that bad
Those you love have told me so
And soon my friends, you too will know

Let's play the game
I'm sure you all know how
But watch yourselves my foolish friends
You're all in my world now

Face up, Face down. Attack or Defend
Face up, Face down. This battle's to the end
Face up, Face down. Stay on guard
Face up, Face down. Play your strongest card

Face up, Face down. Attack or Defend
Face up, Face down. This battle's to the end
Face up, Face down. Stay on guard
Face up, Face down. Play your strongest card

13. Heart of the Cards
Lead vocals - Eric Stuart and Questar Welsh

Long ago in ancient times
Sacred game was played in both spirit and mind
Seven items hold the mystery, Puzzle, Eye, Necklace, Ring, Rod, Scale, and Key

Who will make the final stand?
Make the move
The answer lies in your hand
And whether you win or lose
Hangs in the balance with
The card you choose

(Trust) trust in the heart
Don't let down your guard
The heart of the cards
Don't battle too hard
Remember to trust in the heart of the cards
(Yu-Gi-Oh!
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Time to duel!)

There's a presence deep within
Search your soul take control
You will win
Two forces intertwine
Just need the guidance of
An old friend of mine

There's a power thats all around
It descends from the friends who won't let you down
And when you come undone
They stand by your side till the duel is won

(Trust) trust in the heart
Don't let down your guard
The heart of the cards
Don't battle too hard
Remember to trust in the heart of the cards
(Yu-Gi-Oh!
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Time to duel!)

(Music)

(Trust) trust in the heart
Don't let down your guard
The heart of the cards
Don't battle too hard
Remember to trust in the heart of the cards
(Yu-Gi-Oh!
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Time to duel!)

(Yu-Gi-Oh! x4 in back ground)

Long ago in ancient times
Sacred game was played in both spirit and mind
Seven items hold the mystery

Just trust in the heart of the cards
(Yu-Gi-Oh! x5 in an echo fade out)

14. World of Yu-Gi-Oh!
Lead vocals - Russell Velazquez

Yugi Moto, where are you?
The Pharaoh's calling me
Solve the puzzle, transformate
In to the Duel King and teach me (Yami Yugi)

Summoning and defending (Come on let's go)
Face down, flip effect, fusion is a vital key
Exodia the Forbidden One
It's in my posession, now the d-d-d-d-duel is done

Yo Weevil don't you understand?
It's not the man in the fight
It's the fight in the man

Now I am the master of the duel
It's been my pleasure to beat you
(Come on let's go)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Welcome, welcome, welcome
To the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!

Into the world we go, oh, oh, oh
Welcome, welcome, welcome
To the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!
Its time to duel

Maximillion Pegasus, don't put that eye on me
I will attack, defend, until the end
To taste sweet victory (Like Yami Yugi)
Yo Pegasus can't you read my mind
If you can, tell me what you find
It's time to duel my darling Valentine
The art of duelling now we'll redefine

The Dark Magician, and the Pot of Greed
And Cannon Soldiers do your damage
It's the star chips that I need
Now the battle phase is over
and that card is over-rated
(Come on lets go)

Now let's commence the transformation
Welcome, welcome, welcome
To the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!

Into the world we go, oh, oh, oh
Welcome, welcome, welcome
To the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Welcome, welcome, welcome
To the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Welcome, welcome, welcome
To the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Welcome, welcome, welcome
To the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!

Into the world we go, oh, oh, oh
Welcome, welcome, welcome
To the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Welcome, welcome, welcome
To the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! (repeat to fade)
