A razor is a bladed tool primarily used in the removal of unwanted body hair through the act of shaving. Kinds of razors include straight razors, disposable razors and electric razors.
While the razor has been in existence since the Bronze Age, its modern counterpart was invented in the 18th century, and the 1930s saw the invention of electric razors. In the 21st century, the safety razor - electric or not - is most commonly used by both men and women, but other kinds still exist.
Razors have been identified from many Bronze Age cultures. These were made of bronze or obsidian and were generally oval in shape, with a small tang protruding from one of the short ends.
Various forms of razors were used throughout history, which are different in appearance but similar in use to modern straight razors. In prehistoric times clam shells, shark teeth, and flint were sharpened and used to shave with. Drawings of such blades were found in prehistoric caves. Some tribes still use blades made of flint to this day. Excavations in Egypt have unearthed solid gold and copper razors in tombs dating back to the 4th millennium BC. The Roman historian Livy reported that the razor was introduced in ancient Rome in the 6th century BC. by legendary king Lucius Tarquinius Priscus. Priscus was ahead of his time because razors did not come to general use until a century later.
I'll only say it once, don't ask me to repeat it
Like I said before, I don't like you
Just once you met me, and you don't wanna bet me
You'd better like what I'm about to do
So where'd you stach the money, no don't make me look
You want to live another day my friend
Lay it on the line 'cause you know what's yours in mine
The word we chose to use that day was lend
You only live once, better run fast
I don't need excuses, I like it to last
You only live once, better run fast
I'll only say it once, that was my old lady
Hey, don't let me see you talk or touch
I'm not too good with pity so be telling the whole city
Be telling them that I'm too fucking much
Cause there was another man that crossed the line just once
Just ask, if only he could talk
His face has soft of changed this guy I rearranged
He ran now if only he could walk
I'll only say it once, this here is my bottle
Just n case I need to drink
If you run out of wine, remember that it's mine
That should be enough to make you think
I've worked for what I own, nobody's gonna take it
So shake it off before you dare
I'll just like ice, I'll never say it twice
Music by Dave Carlo; Lyrics by Mike Campagnolo
They told us it would never be
And man kind's race would live free
Free of pain and free of war
And now the sun will shine no more
Deep deception covered with lies
Mass pollutants filling the skies
Minorities' warnings forgotten by all
Truth comes too soon and majorities fall
Living hell, unchained fire, destruction and decay
Burning eyes, burning flesh, prophets in dismay
See them cry, watch them die, in no unending fame
Instant death claims their lives, progression is to blame
Technology the attribute
To futuristic solitude
To flood our mass with unknown gas
And hope the outcome would surpass
Widespread chaos gets out of hand
Law and order crushed on demand
Suicidal tendencies an easy way out
Death through starvation, frustration and drought
All these years till they found out
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
And know the final holocaust
The lives of millions are all lost
Deadly mist brings condemnation
Choking air reaps degradation
A final breath, you're breathing dust
Your death unfair, your life unjust
into the fire! fire... burning so bright is there
a mournful being like mine was before?
eyes shut forever, infesting imagination inside
where serenity fades seraph, into the abyss!
no god will rise above to give forgiveness
to this essence of damnation isn't it art to feel what is life,
to feel the warmth of floodlight in this non-divine cosmos?
I deny, I'm divine, I defy a lie...
to punish all extinction humanity, release my agony,
in the name of fire, burn me! eternity has just begun,
oblivion when I see the sun turn your eyes
and feel your wounds bleeding!
extinguish the torment of this hell which never ends!
with crimes you content and suck the blood of unnatural innocence...
emotions like silence calling, shadows in motion,
burn this vision of thee and take what's in your chaotic heart!
take this starlike beauty in this world of decay,
Forces beyond your control
expose you to hazardous waste
Arson, the deviants play,
igniting the lead that you taste
Acid, the rain starts to fall,
smokescreen develops above
Nature, the balance destroyed,
killing the life that you love
Legions protest in the streets
The people aren't willing to die
Riots, the masses are angry
Exposing the corporate lie (again)
Fighting the ignorant scum,
they do anything that they please
Fatcats, they don't have the time
to help us prevent this disease
Violence grows with the problem,
an issue the big shots ignore
Anger, the people revolt,
the legions will even the score
Terrorism by another name, the end result's the same
Nobody wants to drink the acid rain, no way!
Jimi the fly, he couldn't decide, was crossing a deadly line
Feelin' the heat, the word on the street was a contract for his life
He knew all along, if he sung the song, he'd scratch doing time
Stepped up to bat, squealed like a rat, now he's running for his life
He thought it was sealed, he was making the deal
When the feds brought down the sting
Under the knife, he was looking at life unless he turned the family in
He made up the play with the crooked d.a., never had to serve no time
Jimi the fly, organized crime
Nowhere to hide, scared deep inside and the walls were closing in
He made the mistake, now it's up to fate, and the fear was setting in
Feeling the strain, he then changed his name with a hand from Johnny Law
They moved him out west, with a bullet proof vest, but you can't Escape the mob
Jimi the fly was living a lie on the corner of 8th and 3rd
The life of a fink as he swallowed his drink, now his vision was slightly
Blurred
As he left the bar, drivin' up in a car were the suits that covered thugs
They fired their rounds, now dead on the ground lies a bloody soaked Jimi the
Debutante of murder
In the first degree
Master of the slaughter
He's hungry, can't you see
Survives by natural instinct
Prowler of the night
Prone to dangerous contact
Ready for a fight
He's got that killer instinct
Got that killer instinct
That comes right from the heart
Yeah it's the killer instinct
That tears your mind apart
Seeks the weak and vile
He aids society
You can see there's no denial
He searches to be free
No rest for the wicked
His work is never done
Where you are, he'll seek you
So don't try to run
Fights evil with his evil
Stops violence with his own
But it's always the law
Who casts the first stone
They all don't understand him
Vigilante of the streets
And as they all surround him
Mount your stag, my sword is waiting
A duel, we're gonna have it out
Follow paths where the night lets you travel
Through frost and the echoing shouts
Ride alone and listen for reason
The wind whispers something to you
The son of a savage, the son of a snake
They had you for something to do
You've come close, the quillotine missed you
You ran from the Crown with their gold
The Round Table met, and chose me to find you
A chalenge is all you've been told
I wait alone, no armour to shield me
The thunder slows to a fade
My cold eyes staring to the edge of the silver
Lightning strikes the blade
The tension's in the air tonight
The night sky tempts the dare
I can feel the distant fight
You're nearing from out there
The silence of my second sight
Last rites, only fear
I'm young and you're old but the age doesn't matter
I'm hard, I can take it, the cold night drops the rain
Never question ontold secrets, never guess what you won't gain
I'm the lastting storm to break you, you'll swallow my sword and it's pain
I've longed for the moment with passion and fury
To watch as you cry out in pain
Take a last look at the sky when you've lost
When your shadow no longer remains
Our eyes meet as strangers, no fear of the dangers
The sparks kly, our swords strike as fire
All that you hear are your worst dying fears
Afraid of my passing desire
You drop from the dark, shaking from the answer
You strike to fight the sky, yes I'm in the way
It burns and takes all, life and what you wanted
Where's your spirit drifting, it's left you here to stay
I've longed for the fire that's burning towards you
The fool is caught in the flame
Take a last look at my eyes the reflection
Unreason is rising again
You've met the deadline, now back, to the king's wine
Ride and return what you stole
You'll never see, what the last rites can be
Last rites only fair to your soul
Daylight is breaking, I am alive, you've lost with no time to tell
The silence has faded, the Queen has arrived
They've witnessed your journey to hell
That lonely temper crawls, the loser's the first one that falls
First you feel pain then you feel nothing at all
The chains that bind you are held by the captor
The one you once tried to decieve
I head down the path where our challenge began
Take a last look as I leave
The wind has lifted the rain, The Black Sword has been slain
Dead of night in days of old
Men were fierce but none so bold
Called him crazy and insane
But none dare take his name in vain
Carved in stone soon death prevails
Dangerous warning soon entails
Chipped away with blood and sweat
Now passes on his evil debt
To those who touch this sacred place
In any time from any place
Who desecrates this sacred tomb
shall die by legacy of doom
Years gone past his grave remains
A rotting corpse with none to gain
Still untouched by those who dread
An evil curse upon their heads
Time marches on and cities expand
Superstitions ignored by now modern man
One did dare to challenge the tomb
He now rots in hell, a warning of doom
So take heed of this warning given to you
If you ever should cross a cursed tomb
Leave it alone and do turn away

The smith and wesson tried to tell him "put me down"
His mind was just as loaded, wired up for sound
His heart was torn away, and burning deep inside
He knew just what he'd do when he found that guy
Love led to violence as he busted down the door
There was his woman, fucking on the floor
In blinding madness he was struck with raging pain
A round of bullets now the walls bleed a stain
Wife vengeance
Life sentence
His life was flashing, soon the gavel's coming down
His plea, insanity, but they ruled his mind was sound
His soul was cold and blackened, channelled through his eyes
He can't forget, the killing's tangled in his mind
All rise, this court's in session, judgement day is here
Cold sweat just pouring, now he's facing his worst fear
White knuckle fisted like a knife through the heart
Let's feed up!
It's your grievance, glittering like gold, barking to
each other like dogs.
C'mon show me your growl!
This battle called love
it's just a trick for your gall.
And I don't mind if your grip is tight,
your rage is my new birth...
show me your razor,
so show me your razor.
We're dancing on a sheet of glass, we're staring at
each other like snakes before the bite, my tongue is
your gold and your body is my cage made of pleasure and
decay, your body is my cage made of pleasure and decay.
So you wanna show me your best intentions,
just get out of my sight,
your revenge is a grievance,
it's just another slash on my arms
and I don't mind if your grip is tight,
your rage is my new birth,
show me your razor,
so show me your razor.
And they gonna find our bodies on a floor,
a razor in your hand and your hand into my blood.
Narcissus is repeating the same old mistakes.
Narcissus is repeating the same old mistakes.
Feeling better now?
Do you like cage made of ..., pleasure and decay
Narcissus is repeating the same old mistakes.
Narcissus is repeating the same old mistakes.
We're dancing on a sheet of glass, we're staring at
each other like snakes before the bite, my tongue is
your gold and your body is my cage made of pleasure and
decay, your body is my cage made of pleasure and decay.
So you wanna show me your best intentions,
just get out of my sight,
your revenge is a grievance,
it's just another slash on my arms
and I don't mind if your grip is tight,
your rage is my new birth,
show me your razor,
so show me your razor.
Let's feed up!
It's your grievance, glittering like gold, barking to
each other like dogs.
C'mon show me your growl!
This battle called love
it's just a trick for your gall.
Your rage is my new birth.
And they gonna find our bodies on a floor,
C F G Em Am
If I had a razor sharp enough
F G Em
I'd cut myself clear
C Dm G Am
Of all the pieces of pain in my past
Dm G
And I'd be free at last
F G Em Am
If I had a razor sharp enough
F G Am
And I could see the edges clearly too
Dm G Am
I'd cut away the part that binds me to you
Dm G
But I am blinded by my tears
Dm G Am
And all my blades are dulled by passing years
F G Em
And all my wishes cannot make it over now
Dm G C
I hope I have enough to make it through somehow
If I had a candle bright enough
To shine in my soul
And light the dark of the loneliness found
I'd find my way around
If I had a candle bright enough
And I could see the love I've lost inside
I'd have the courage to reach out instead of hide
But I am blinded by my tears
My candle's burned at both ends through the years
And all my wishes cannot make it over now
I hope I have enough to make it through somehow
Now I have a song that's strong enough
To see me through all
The lonely darkness and pain life will bring
And still have strength to sing
And I have a song that's bright enough
To light the path from yesterday to dawn
And give me courage to smile and still go on
Now I see clearly through my tears
My wits have grown much sharper with the years
And though my wishes cannot make it over now
Music and lyrics by Dave CarloYou made the trip to catch the band
We better do the best we can
We're glad you came to trash and see
Our raw attack of pure energy
Iron Hammer, in your face
Wall of metal shakes the place
Total volume, full scale attack
Once you're here ain't going back
Now the power's in your hands
A message for all metal fans
I know this sounds a little cliche
But I don't give a damn anyway!
So let this be a lesson to you
Though we leave we're never through
If you help to keep metal alive
The underground will always survive
I pledge: to keep it alive
I promise: metal will thrive
I swear: myself to the cause
I'll teach: all the metal laws
We've built up our courage
We won't be discouraged to fight
We struggle for power
Our armies devour the night
They've tried to withstand
But we'll gain command in the end
A crumbling nation
With mass devastation still stands
We strive for the right of our nation's demise
They've tricked and abused us and quoted us lies
Nothing will stop us or get in our way
'til Rebel Onslaught rules again
The hunters are hunted
Our foes are confronted at will
We make our progression
With headstrong obsession to kill
They fed us confusion
Provoked disillusion no more
With devilish crimes
They've rotted our minds to the core
Put forth penetration
Caused extermination and pain
Thoughts of desire
Take all of us higher again
Our rivals conceited
We won't be defeated 'til death
Although we are shaken
Late at night you open the door
Your old man's drunk and madder then hell
Another violent conflict, you never asked for this
The place that you call home is now a cell
He's punching out your mother, and now he turns on you
This always seems to happen every night
You're heading for the kitchen, you grab a butcher knife
This time you know you're gonna have to fight
You warn him that you've had enough
This time he's gonna get what he deserves
He charges. you knife him
You wasted him before you lost your nerve
Parricide
You stabbed him twenty times. It only seemed like once
Your family's in a state of shock
The bastard lies there lifeless, your mother starts to scream
You know you're gonna have to call the cops
You warned him, that you'd had enough
This time he had to get whet he deserved
He charged you, you knifed him
You wasted him before you lost your nerve
Parricide
The cops are knocking on your door. the neighbours crowd outside
An ambulance is wailing In the night
They put the cuffs on, read your rights and lock you in their car
They question you about the violent fight
Neighbours start to glare at you, the ambulance arrives
They bring the bloody carcass out in sheets
You had to kill In self-defense you didn't have a choice
You had to carve him like a piece of meat
Seventeen days later, you're sitting in the court
They set you free they knew they should acquit
In spite of how you killed him, your self-defense was just
The punishment you dealt him seemed to fit
The metal scene has gone to piss
Boneheads lead the way
Playing fast because It's in
And then they go away
Instead of kicking major butt
They start to slow it down
Bringing back the 70's
I hate these fucking clowns
You sold us out without a doubt
You changed your future plans
You played the game, you've got your fame
And your phony fans
The pinhead movement loves their songs
These bands can do no wrong
And then they come to me and say
Why can't you write good songs?
I hate to be so arrogant
Don't like to call them names
But money is their only goal
My songs remain me some
All the bands I used to like are going down the drain
What the hell has happened here, have they gone insane?
I used to think that heavy bands ignored the current trends
But once you've been in rolling stone you learn about your friends
They never sound the some again, they claim that they progress
But I just think it's writer's slump that wins them their success
The majors spend big money the audience is blind
While RAZOR plays it heavier and leaves the scum behind
Warriors of leather unchained to rule the night
Ganglands join together to fight the metal fight
Speed and fury now delivered to the hungry crowd
Trashing like there's no tomorrow, that's what it's about
Rages like an earthquake shaking all your heads
Death to all the posers, tear then all to shreds
Breaking down the barriers we'll let it go tonight
Let's all bring the roof down and trash with all our might
Speed Merchants decked out in spikes and chains
Speed Merchants have metal in their veins
Speed Merchants cut loose and bash their brains
Speed Merchants we sweat and go insane
Furious intentions directed at the stage
A building of agressionis now released in rage
You raise your hands to feel the awesome power in the air
Your body aches, your neck it breaks, but you don't seem to care
Burning hearts of fire amidst the human mass
Intensities reach maximum wich we shall now surpass
Draining all our energy, stricken with abuse
A deadly charge like dynamite, we've got to light the fuse
Scorching blaze surrounds them as the metal takes control
It penetrates their willing minds and occupies their souls
Speed Merchants live for pleasure, Speed Merchants live for pain
They live for understanding and sparks to start the flame
Give me the weapons, I'll finish the job
I do what I have to, to win
killing the weak if they're not on my side
I don't know the meaning of sin
under command if you're paying my price
I'm paying your back with my skill
a hit man who deeds out the violence with ease
emotionless, customized kill
Take aim: open fire
I've still got drive and I've still got the fucking desire
Survivor of torture disturber of peace
fightning for reasons unknown
really don't care if I'm good or I'm bad
you pay me and I set the tone
like a cancerous cell infesting your blood
they still haven't found me a cure
victim circumstance, driven by greed
believe me, my hatred is pure
S.O.F., lives to be claimed
living in trenches and barrens untamed
S.O.F., treasonous crimes
motives uncertain a sign of the times
killing machine, evil regime, sinister dream, listen for screams,
paying my price, rolling the dice, should've thought twice
your neck I will slice
Take aim: open fire
I've still got the drive and I've still got the fucking desire
take aim: you'll pay
You took it for granted, you thought I would leave
Your friends were in the bar, you picked a fight
You never expected that I was protected
You never saw the danger in your sight
In shock, your friends all around you
See you lying in a pool of red
It's quiet, the bar becomes silent
They can't accept the fact that you're dead
Rednecks, your friends all started crying
Too bad they never realized
Justice, my shotgun justice left you paralyzed
You thought I had left but I went to my car
I came back with my shotgun too
Returned in a minute, I fired my rounds
And now there's nothing left of you
I never look for trouble, but if trouble comes around
I've got the shortest fuse of any psychopath in town
You should't talk to strangers, there might be a price to pay
Too late to change your attitude you just got blown away
Itchy trigger, finger I reacted instantly
No one else will have to deal with your mentality
A cancer on society, you'll pick no fights again
You're just a mess of rotting flesh whose time has come my friend
Life is just a memory, you got what you deserved
You thought you were a tough guy, thought you'd get on someone's nerves
Everybody left the bar, you called those traitors friends
No one came to help you, no one came to your defense
Your friends all learned a lesson, too bad it come too late
Now they know the consequence of those of us who hate
You stare blank at the ceilling, you forgot to close your eyes
You took it for granted, you thought I would leave
Your friends were in the bar, you picked a fight
You never expected that I was protected
You never saw the danger in your sight
In shock, your friends all around you
See you lying in a pool of red
It's quiet, the bar becomes silent
They can't accept the fact that you're dead
Rednecks, your friends all started crying
Too bad they never realized
Justice, my shotgun justice left you paralyzed
You thought I had left but I went to my car
I came back with my shotgun too
Returned in a minute, I fired my rounds
And now there's nothing left of you
I never look for trouble, but if trouble comes around
I've got the shortest fuse of any psychopath in town
You should't talk to strangers, there might be a price to pay
Too late to change your attitude you just got blown away
Itchy trigger, finger I reacted instantly
No one else will have to deal with your mentality
A cancer on society, you'll pick no fights again
You're just a mess of rotting flesh whose time has come my friend
Life is just a memory, you got what you deserved
You thought you were a tough guy, thought you'd get on someone's nerves
Everybody left the bar, you called those traitors friends
No one came to help you, no one came to your defense
Your friends all learned a lesson, too bad it come too late
Now they know the consequence of those of us who hate
You stare blank at the ceilling, you forgot to close your eyes
Living on the east side, trouble's on it's way
Get your piece together, take your place and stay
Is your pistol loaded? ain't no room for buts
Strangers eye to eye, hope you've got the guts
Lawman, draw your gun
I may be the one
Trigger happy fingers and you give me cause
Lawman what have I done - broken your laws?
Strangers, Dangers
Desert sons ride from the heat
Little doubt, in this shootout
Wipe off the dust from the street
Chasing with tequila, and gypsy ladies dance
Never thought I'd shoot again until I had the chance
One on one I'm laughing, spit in the sand and draw
Just not quick enough, so much for the law
Lawman draw your gun
I may be the one
Knock down and drag out, the taste is in the air
Lawman what have I done - do you really care?
Given the limit, the job is yours today
Just another sorry man standing in my way
A bad lad uh huh! lives up to his role
Live it up, laugh it up, end up in the hole
Where you die another soul will stand
I'll be riding riding riding across this land
You've been shot down, now you're gonna crawl
Those who stay alive are those who don't come out at all
Just another shootout, one more dirty deed
Your peacemaker's heavy, one shot's all I need
Make your move now mister, sherrif's history
Rising power, feel the speed as I shift into high gear
All alone, I own the road, I know your gates are near
Hellsent, whipped with fury. death certificate I signed
None survive my speed machine, I'm out to kill mankind
Road Gunner, your fate
Road Gunner at your gate
You backstab me and think you'll get off free
Road Gunner, too late
Lock your doors, bolt down the bars, here comes my death machine
Cloud of hate hangs overhead, it always follows me
Wicked swiftness, speed wind raider, I will hypnotize
There's no quicker way to kill than right between the eyes
High balling speed, like lightning
See the chrome shine, roaring wheels
Burning up the highway
My speed demon made of steel
Road Gunner, say bye
Road Gunner, you die
Fuck with me and it's your destiny
I don't think you realize the way things really are
Play with fire, burn yourself, you let things go too far
Now you come to me and say that you can't pay your dues
You've been warned 1000 times so now you're going to lose
Fool, you know you've got more debts than anyone I've met
Compound interest paid in blood, cause loan-sharks
don't forget... Where you live
Skipping town will do no good. I knew you'd try to deke
Sent my friends to follow you and now you're up shit's creek
You can't con a con man, there's no point, you're going down
If you've got the money then pay up, don't fuck around
If they have to kick your ass. you've got yourself to blame
You didn't have to come to me for cash to play your games
I'm just another businessmen, I've got my job to do
Corruption of the innocent, in battles of the past
Revolves around an incident, in which the mold was cast
A case of taking orders, a madman in command
Thousands upon thousands destroyed by his own hand
KILL: they're sent to die
KILL: no reason why
KILL: but who's to blame
KILL: who'll face the shame
He's somewhere in hiding, his fate they're deciding
For years they've been hunting him down
A forty year void, yet they want him destroyed
The Angel Of Death can't be found
Relies upon his allies to keep him safe and sound
In some foreign country, there's rumour he's been found
They send special forces to grab him if they can
Their plot has been discovered, he's escaped again
Wanted for his war crimes by descendents of the dead
Never ending search, high price on his head
A weak and aging demon, he's only skin and bone
But those who carry grudges
Backstabbit turncoat
I caught you in the act
lowdown lying scumbag
I'm gonna break your back
you thought that you could pull it off
but I saw through your game
now my hands are on your throat
you've got yourself to blame
Violent restitution: you ain't seen nothing yet
violent restitution: I'm playing back the clebt
First I choke you 'til you puke
then I'll gouge your eyes
then it's time to break your spine
my promices aren't lies
and when you think it's over
and my debt in paid
I'll smash your face to pieces
with my trusty spade
Here I come
now you're dead
get your woman
in my bed
now I laugh
while you cry
it's been fun
Delusions of grandeur, rebels cast aside
Volcanic reverberations, power won't subside
Substantial influxations, from sources not unknown
Screams for blood and violence, your circuits overblown
Aggressive motivations, control your willing mind
You've come here for a reason, a reason you will find
Persuasive inhibitions, project your thoughts and dreams
You love the noise pollution, the sweat, the blood, the screams
Malicious Intent: You twist and you turn
Malicious Intent: Your body heat burns
Malicious Intent: On bashing your head
Malicious Intent: We will raise the dead
Afflicted population creates this atmosphere
Die hard youths in anger, create a sense of fear
Society protesting, goes against the grain
Lack of understanding, prevention all in vain
Underground united, growing like a storm
Feel the tension rising, thrusting past the norm
Bound by power metal, others do not see
Raging vultures approaching the clearing
Forbidden from cultures and ground
Striking to kill with power and glory
It's pain within pleasure they've found
Their fingertips drip with the blood of the foe
But grinning, enjoying the sight
They slash opposition for minding metallics
And scream for their pride and their rights
Hammer the walls with the front of your skull
Pound ancient stone 'til you tear down the wall
Find he who rules and imprisons us all
Search forever and find no one at all, Tortured Skull
Tortured Skull, bruised and beaten
Enslaved with lust and steel
Tortured Skull, skinned alive
Murderous speed to conceal
Begin grinding your teeth, scarring your face
Gripping the strength of belief
Distant aggression, the root of our lives
To bring you the tension relief
To rip and slice from the shine of your eyes
Is the law of intelligent minds
Metal rules with it's rampage and violence
I'm gonna brag about it
I'm not gonna stay in school
I'm gonna rob and steal
Gonna break every rule
I'm a time bomb, baby
I'm a time bomb, baby
I'm a time bomb, baby
I'm a time bomb, baby
I'm gonna brag about it
Gonna kill my mom and dad
I won't be sad about it
'Cause they treat me so bad
I'm a time bomb, baby
I'm a time bomb, baby
I'm a time bomb, baby
I'm a time bomb, baby
I gonna chance to tell you off
And I'm gonna use it well
Everybody, everywhere
You can all go to hell
I'm a time bomb, baby
I'm a time bomb, baby
I'm a time bomb, baby
I'm a time bomb, baby
I'm gonna brag about it
I flunked, I didn't pass
I'm gonna brag about it
Gonna kick somebody's ass
I'm a time bomb, baby
I'm a time bomb, baby
I'm a time bomb, baby
Against the odds, we proved them wrong
We challenged and we won
We're doing things our own way
Just like we've always done
People try to tell us why
We'll never be on top
I'm telling you, that we're not through
We're never going to stop
We play too fast, we play too loud
I've heard it all before (Harcore!)
But every time we play a gig
They're coming back for more (Aaahh!)
A smoke filled bar, a rusty car
This is the life I lead
We'll bring our sound to your hometown
I guess we'll stick around
WHITE!... NOISE!... WHITE!... NOISE!
So don't tell us to turn it down
It's just too loud for you!
And don't tell us to change our sound
Cause we'll just say... SCREW YOU!
You might find, we're not your kind
But we've got our pride
So if you don't like Razor
music and lyrics by Dave CarloBackstabbing turncoat
I caught you in the act
Lowdown lying scumbag
I'm gonna break your back
You thought that you could pull it off
But I saw through your game
Now my hands are on your throat
You've got yourself to blame
Violent Restitution; you ain't seen nothing yet
Violent Restitution; I'm paying back the debt
First I'll choke you 'til you puke
Then I'll gouge your eyes
Then it's time to break your spine
My promises aren't lies
And when you think it's over
And my debt is paid
I'll smash your face to pieces
With my trusty spade
Here i come
Now you're dead
Got your woman
In my bed
Now I laugh
While you cry
It's been fun
But now you die ..... DIE!
Energy, you're hit by the train
A casualty of the social war
Artillery, the weapons I sling
Send you crashing and bleeding on the floor
Arteries, implode under skin
I'm filling all the weaklings full of lead
Anarchy all the war mongers free
United by our total hatred
Try with all your might, we never can be bound
Synchronize your beating, with our hateful sound
On your wounded knees we deny you all your rights
One more neck to squeeze we put you in the vice
Congregate, the loyal stand strong
A hatred that defies all written laws
Incriminate, accusations cast out
We sentence you to die by the saw
Abominate, our powerless foe
We are the black cloud over your head
Annihilate, with unstoppable force
United by our social hatred
Society our enemy, the rules which we must fight
The only way to bring out change is challenging their might
We will not lose this crucial clash and we will never give
Instead we hate don't hesitate, don't let the bastards live
Die hard, the attitude lives
The attitude will breed among the strong
Destroy, all attempts by the law
To make you live a life that is wrong
Aggravate, society's pawns
And let them know that you will repay
Enforce, the beliefs that you hold
At the gate the thrashers wait, with flesh of hardened steel
At the show the bitches go to such their nasty meal
Pounding meat, scorching heat, lick the dragon's bite
Eat your tail, with tooth and nail, their juices flowing right
Nocturnal curves, seduce and serve, spread the grease and feast
We thrust in time, a filthy crime for craving lucid beasts
Innocence has disappeared, the judgement: bad is bad
We're all damn good criminals from the good times that we've had
Masters of the armory, the attitude will show
Long live the underground, your last chance: here it goes
Trashdance (Into her pants)
From dawn's light, making spite, for thrills 'til early hours
Turn 'em back, infected crack, their skin is caught and sour
Trashdance into her pants, her oyster stings you all
All aroused her stench is doused, she's up against the wall
Pain and pealed with staining steel, take it, feel it grind
Piercing hearse, sends the curse, the trashing metal way
We spit on those who choose to pose, we trash with all the rest
Busting heads, ignoring feds, we know this crowd's the best!
We only had forty-five minutes
Before we were to start our show
Our roadies had set up our gear
And we were (more than) ready to go
Then the owner of the bar came to see us
And he told us that we would't get paid
The thrashers in the bar had to wonder why the show was delayed
Violence condoned
Cough up the dough
We packed our guitars, we got in our cars
We drove off and we never looked back
Six fucking albums, still dealing with welchers
I think I'm about to attack
I love all our fans but I'm sick of this, man
If you book us then we'd better get paid
The thrashers in the bar all showed him a mistake had been made
Fans irate, the time was late, they knew the band was gone
Tempers smoked, a riot broke, the violent clash was on
Chairs were thrown, damage sown, they paid to see the band
Bottles flying, underlying vengeance for the fans
Take a stand and never change your plans
Demand respect or be a useless fool
Never let the big shots get away
With thinking that they're making all the rules
If they think that you're a weakling
You'd better fight and show them it ain't true
Teach them all a violent lesson
And show them just what you can do
Revenge, revenge, support it each and every day
We only had forty-five minutes

Our roadies had set up our gear

Teach them all a violent lesson
And show them just what you can do
Revenge, revenge, support it each and every day
Victims of technology, trapped in future plans
Acting without asking, won't meet our demands
Stuck walking the straight line, opinions overthrown
Deep inside we feel it, chills us to the bone
Society's own children, bodies whitout voice
Decisions made without us, as if we had a choice
Controlled intervention, who are we to trust?
We must get back the power, our freedom gained a must
Survival is our interest, no question of remand
Survival of the fittest, our lives are in their hands
We beg and we plea for some understanding
A sense of awareness is all we're demanding
Twisting the truth to protect their own
The blunt of raw deals is all we've been shown
The echoes of crying, the innocent dying
An evil force reigns so supreme
With sheer devastation, corrupt motivations
They've shattered our unendless dreams
Our brains have been scattered, our blood has been splattered
And no one is telling us why
These things are forbidden, they're keeping it hidden
And sending our youth off to die
We've tried to find out, hear our screams and our shouts
We're building in force by the hour
We will rise above, forsake glory and love
Their half-hearted lives we'll devour
Blinded by power, they are obsessed
With public supremacy they are possessed
Dictatorship flourishes beyond our control
Poverty stricken, now death takes it's toll
Lost inside ourselves, our inner feelings can't be shown
Cast aside as if nothing matters but their own
Force of one rules over, paralyzing life set still
Brainwashed minds diminish captors for their thrill
Who will win the final battle of death or suicide
Thoughts of human independence, warriors of youth will ride
Seeking out a common mainstream, driven by restricted lives
We must all be strong together, our only chance to survive (yeah!)
The power of the free world, is all that we protect
Enemies among us, who will we suspect?
One thing is for certain, things can't stay the same
Victims of technology, trapped in future plans
Acting without asking, won't meet our demands
Stuck walking the straight line, opinions overthrown
Deep inside we feel it, chills us to the bone
Society's own children, bodies whitout voice
Decisions made without us, as if we had a choice
Controlled intervention, who are we to trust?
We must get back the power, our freedom gained a must
Survival is our interest, no question of remand
Survival of the fittest, our lives are in their hands
We beg and we plea for some understanding

Thoughts of human independence, warriors of youth will ride
All the pool hall, hustling dough
I'll beat the panzies and then I'll go
out to the bar, to pick a fight
main some redneck then hit the night
why am I always in a mood like this
I don't know, ain't no psychiatrist
this nagging feeling, that I've got won't quit
I feel no pain and I don't give a shit
Left, right, fight-taste the floor
two, four, move-out the door
Music magazines with fags on the front
they dress like women, their message is blunt
they make their money, but they're doing it wrong
kissing ass and writing radio songs
bying their records and seeing their shows
the general public likes their panty hose
I'm not as younged as I used to be
but I'll still be thrashing at a hundred and three
(you'll see)
but they think I'm psycho, they think I'm deranged
I wear my leather, but I'm not that strange
I walk the streets but I hate what I see
like a book by it's cover, they're judging me
Give me the claw that rips at my side
Screaming with pleasure, spikes poking my eyes
Hustlers and losers scrapping in vain
Drinking the blood that's drawn from my brain
Tear Me To Pieces
Tear Me To Pieces
Burn At The Stake, excite in extreme
Animal hungry, and cut jaw supreme
Shooting through veins tensed to infection
Blood stained knife, seeking injection
Sucking the life from bodies in heat
Scraping the flesh, raw ridden meat
Tear me apart, mercy's at rest
Tear Me To Pieces, I challenge the best
Fast with the pain, desire and skill
Can you withstand the merciless kill
Mike Campagnolo and M-Bro
City lights are dimming
Kings and Queens alive
Flames of red are burning
As they diminish time
Eyes of greed are rising
The aides of good will send
Conflict of extremity
A cry, it's the end
Crawling from a shaken mind
The prophets as us why
The jaws of the sharpest realm
Leave us all to die
The population's gathered
Persuaded to defend
The weakness is intelligence
The strength is in - The End
"Good evening sports fans and welcome to what should
Prove to be the best game of the year.
Hello everyone, I'm johnny bigmouth, welcoming you to
The final game of the world championship.
We're expecting to see one helluva game tonight,
There's no love lost between these two teams.
Each drawing endless amounts of penalties:
We've had fights, cheap shots, name calling - everything we could ask for...
So now, we take you live and play... the game".
You gave it your all, you gave all you've got
You reached for the limit, you pushed till you dropped
You scratched and you clawed, you spilled out your guts
You gave them your oath and you signed it in blood
Bent over backwards, your body is sore
You gave them your life but they still wanted more
You carry the load, you dig deep inside
Blood, sweat and tears till the day that you die
The game... betrayed
This is how you get repaid
They're playing with your mind, they're playing with your head
How do you like your meal when you're being force fed
This is how you get repaid... the game
You crash and you burn, you've stood at the top
You faced all the pressure and took the cheap shots
Your body keeps dying, wealth is the gain
You fought all the battles and played through the pain
You scratch at the scabs, you swear when you bleed
You laughed at the stitches and lost your front teeth
Go through the therapy, break all your bones
Then comes the trade, you buy/sell your home
"Oh my... what a hit! did you see that? unbelievable...
That's gotta hurt. The abuse this boy takes night after night,
And he's still putting on quite a show for the fans.
This guy is worth every penny he makes... I tell ya... that's gotta hurt..."
You talk of the glories and memories gone past
A brilliant career though it could never last
You're down and you're bitter, your rings are in hock
There's pins in your knees and you limp when you walk
You take all the pills, make the pain go away
You've lost all your wealth but your agent's ok
Your children have left you, your wife did the same
music and lyrics by Dave Carlo
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!
You said I was mad, you said I'm insane
You said It couldn't be done
You want me to lose, you want me to die
Don't wont me to ruin your fun
I'm making a stand, I'm taking a chance
I'm living the dreams I had
I've got my own rules, and I'll decide
If they're good or if they're bad
Live fast, die young
If you stand in my way, if you get in my face
You'll meet the real me
If you're bringing me down, if you're pissing me off
You'll be shocked at what you see
I'II write it in blood, I'II pull out my blade
I'II carve it into your chest
And it will appear, the message clear
I am the Pugilist
Emotional stress, you've put me through
You put me to the test
No sleep at night, awake for days
You robbed me of my rest
What kind of a fool, did you take me for?
You thought I wouldn't mind!
Get out of my life, get out of my world
I don't need your fucking kind!
I will pay you back in spades
I will sharpen all my blades
I'II haunt you at night, I'll terrorize
I'II phone but I won't talk
I'II find you at work, I'll find you at home
I'II find you around the block
I will destroy, I'll devastate
You'll live in misery
I'II rob your fun, I'II steel your smile
Were in the slaughter drinking water
Rulers drinking wine
They stab the beast, a selfish feast
Set glare the crystal eye
Kings and Queens with witty dreams
Collect from lower class
The knight and lance, the joker dance
Stand high to save their ass
Born were we fool's company
Night hawk spreads its wings
Deserters and the beggar man
Stand before the kings
Crawl in the cave and push your way
Do it if you dare
It's damp and cold, it's evening stone
It's smoke filled misty air
In the arena, kicking hyhena
Hear the strangling roar
Shock cracks down on wind blown ground
Dusts off the bloody whore
Off with your head is what's been said
King's fist of feather shakes
It's luxury off you and me
I fight the system 'cause I'm offended
Know what it means to be a pawn
Manipulated beyond all reason
You can't decide what's right or wrong
Absorb the pressure. avoid the pain
See the factory. it's just a prison
Life sentence just so you can eat
You're just a number, they'll sacrifice you
Replace you with a new machine
You think they're loyal. you think they care
You think you'll never lose your job
You're just a sucker, if you don't wake up
One day you'll find out that you're gone
What are we doing. creating a system
Resulting in meaningless lives?
Instead of improving. we're always abusing
Too selfish to ever be wise
Busting our butts in a rush to get nowhere
Just look what we're leaving behind
A trail of destruction, self-centred obstruction
It's time to start using our minds
Fight the system. lose the pain
Lacking in courage. afraid of the future
Pretending that everything's fine
How will it feel when you're forty years old
And you're dumped from the factory line
Plan your escape 'cause it's certain to happen
The day when you're through is at hand
Sucker for punishment, here is your warning
Be ready before you get canned
Fight the system. lose the poin
Metallic mayhem on the loose
Molten rock provides the juice
Rampant start, you just can't hold
Burning heat lost all control
Everywhere you just can't hide
Spreading out it's nationwide
Metal lets you live today
Bands like us, we lead the way
Hot metal, turning you around
Hot metal, burning you down
Hot metal, gets in your brain
I'm feeling pain, from hot metal
Maximum volume soon abtained
Rivet heads now unchained
Studs and leather overflow
Aim to please at the show
Infesting cities one by one
Clenching fists, damage done
Always keeping up the pace
Love to see your violent face
music and lyrics by Dave Carlo
Seized by stress, hateful energy
Blood is boiling, trying to break us free
Temper flares, destruction takes it's place
Killing power, uncontrolled disgrace
Draing the strength from your tired soul
Robbed of your right to relax
Tightening vices taking their toll
Inflicting these deadly attacks
Hot blood runs cold
Death sentence from the day you're born
Pressure curse, your skin is ripped and torn
Veins bulge, your body's glowing red
Hypertension is leaving you for dead
Nervous wreck, hell bent on self-destruction
Can't break apart this arterial obstruction
Cardiac, rate of pulse increase
Strained heart, you're soon to be deceased
music and lyrics by Dave Carlo
Whaaaaaaaaaa!
The feel of the blade in my hand
Violence! Violence!
The power to kill any man
Picking my victims and taking revenge
The voices are inside my head
Slicing your jugular, stealing your strength
Won't let up until you are dead
Save your life, hide your wife from my knife: Stand and fight for it
Blood to spill, before I kill test your will: Stand and fight for it
Whaaaaaaaaaa!
Possessed by a feeling that's strange
Murder! Murder!
I've gone through a psychotic change
I used to be normal, I used to feel love
But now all I feel is remorse
A victim of lower society
Now nature has taken it's course
All my friends were beaten to death
So now I've gotta even the score
Killing everything I can find
Then I'm gonna kill some more
I know there's a price on my head
They'll hang me for the things that I do
The edge of my razor is sharp
And now I'm gonna use it on you
Whaaaaaaaaaa!
I'm gonna spread the pain around
Torture! Torture!
Killing's the best thing I've found
All lined up waiting for the gunshot to start the race
All engines powered up, there is no return
Feel the thrill of the speed, this is a Deathrace
Screaming wheels in the night, this is a Deathrace
Chorus:
Wipe the dirt of your shoes, it's madness let loose
Wipe that smile of your face, this is a Deathrace
Push your beast to the limit, faster and faster you go
Its power pulls you back against the seat
I hope you know what you're doing
Feel the thrill of the speed, this is a Deathrace
Screaming wheels in the night, this is a Deathrace
Chorus
Chased, but you feel safe
By steel you are embraced
Lights in your eyes
Caught you by surprise
Crashed into a wall, you lost control, you failed
You paid the price, you learned what you might face
In a Deathrace
All lined up a waiting for the gunshot to start the race
All engines powered up, there is no return
Feel the thrill of the speed, this is a Deathrace
Screaming wheels in the night, this is a Deathrace
Damage done, aggressor convicted
Abandoned, abolished for shame
Quest for duty and crucifixion
Sharpens the wretched blame
Painstaking, spiritual making
Head strong, ceaseless stare
Aroused by vulgar carcass
Diseased from iron ware
Cast iron imprisonment, trash in agony
Outcasts are butchered, and seized in slavery
Cut throat
Panic stricken, scorched and marked
Barbaric disaster is near
Disease and degradation
Misfortune after fear
Piston strength, the archway is worshipped
The tempest disciples repent
The wreckage is salvaged and souls recovered
Born a bastard
The baddest in the land
Never done
I take whatever I can
Live the age
Live it fast
Crash course riot
Kicked my teacher outta class
Cross Me Fool, I'll even up the score
What you'll get, revenge and a little more
You know I'm bad, I've done it all before
Stay clear of me, I'm rotten to the core
You know me
Don't like my style
Wait and see
It takes a little while
Play the fool
When it comes I go
Piece o'tail
When it's you I'll let you know
Hiding out
Never catch me in the act
Crime is time
I've done some, won't go back
Remember me
When deeds are done
When I'm back
I tell you that I'm brilliant, 'cause I know more than you
I tell you I'm not arrogant, because I know it's true
I tell you I'm a sadist, because I love to kill
I tell you I'm an asshole but I've got an iron will
I tell you I'm a genius, and I control your life
I tell you you're not listening and stab you with my knife
I tell You you're a dying man, I tell you that you're dead
I tell you I'm a liar, don't believe a word I said
Accidental damage when I was just a tyke
Head injury I suffered when I wiped out on my bike
Concussion changed my attitude and now I live to hate
Demented and disturbed, I try to tree me from my fate
I tell you I'm a preacher, and I will save your soul
A born again evangelist, I've got a TV show
I tell you 'send your money': redemption will be yours
I say you haven't sent enough, you'd better send some more
I've made a giant fortune by conning all these fools
The bible belters send the cash 'cause they believe my rules
No sympathy for morons, they really want to pay
I told them I'm a liar but they listened anyway
Evangelists and murderers are ruthless
They seem different but they're really the same
In different ways they prey on all the weaklings
In different ways they think it's just a game
Swaggert told the world that he was sorry
Bakker asked us all to forgive
Knuckleheads still send in their money
The feel of blade in my hand
Violence! Violence!
the power to kill many men
picking my victims and taking revenge
the voices are inside my head
slicing your jugular, skaling your strength
won't let up, until you are dead
Save your life, hide your wife form my knife
stand and fight for it
blood to spill, before I kill, test your will
stand and fight for it
Whaaaaaaaaaa!
Possessed by the feeling that's strange
Murder! Murder!
I've gone through a psychotic change
I used to be normal, I used to feel love
but now all I feel is remorse
a victim of lower society
now nature has taken its course
all my friends were beaten to death
so now I've gotta even the score
killing everything I can find
then I'm gonna kill some more
I know there's a price on my head
they'll hand me for the things that I do
the edge of my razor is sharp
and now I'm gonna use it to you
Whaaaaaaaaaa!
I'm gonna spread the pain again
Torture! Torture!
Earthshaking sound, how far away?
It's hard to tell, but I hope it doesn't stay
Potential danger, awaits us all
Before it's over, how many more will fall?
Can we escape the distant thunder
Or will we ever get away?
Defend against the ruthless hunters
Or stay and rot in death's decay
The rebel's call is seldom heard
Untimeless efforts and no one says a word
The battlecry, fierce mechanism
Take out your whip and give me the pressure I crave
Put on your leather and beat me until I behave
Woman, you know that I love to be punished by you
How take off your clothes because know it's my turn to be cruel
Dominate, dominate
Welts all over my chest
Discipline, discipline
Baby, your pain is the best
Inflict me with bruises and watch as I scream with delight
Humiliate me, I last for your violence tonight
Kiss me, then hit me, then tease me, then boss me around
My body is aching with lust so we'd better get down
Hurts good.
Back at your apartment you turn out your lights
Light a few red candles, I'm gonna spend the night
You tie me to your bed with rope, you've got some heavy chains
I'm getting ready for some love that's painfully insane
My clothes are gone, the candle wax is dripping on my chest
Your fingernails into my flesh, you put me to the test
I love the fire in your eyes, I wanna be your slave
Rebel racer speeding on
Will you ever reach the sun?
Blazing chrome, gleam machine
Fastest thing you've ever seen
Melting rubber clear a turn
You can smell the tires burn
Rapid speed, really steaming
Beyond the realms of death
With each unspoken breath
There's nothing you can't face
In a death race
Straightforeward course not hard to hold
Into the mists, nights so cold
You create a battle zone
Engine grinds to the bone
Smell of gas fills the air
Fuel leak, best beware
Driving hard, no second thought
Warning lights, don't get caught
Aiming for the blazing sun
So close he thinks the battle's won
Fuel blows from a single spark
Fireball lights up the dark
Rebel racer is no more
Battle's lost, black smoke and gore
Time forgets another soul
One more mark on the death toll
Beyond the realms of death
With each unspoken breath
Explosion leaves no trace
I tell you that I'm brilliant, 'cause I know more than you
I tell you I'm not arrogant, because I know it's true
I tell you I'm a sadist, because I love to kill
I tell you I'm an asshole but I've got an iron will
I tell you I'm a genius, and I control your life
I tell you you're not listening and stab you with my knife
I tell You you're a dying man, I tell you that you're dead
I tell you I'm a liar, don't believe a word I said
Accidental damage when I was just a tyke
Head injury I suffered when I wiped out on my bike
Concussion changed my attitude and now I live to hate
Demented and disturbed, I try to tree me from my fate

Evangelists and murderers are ruthless
They seem different but they're really the same
In different ways they prey on all the weaklings
In different ways they think it's just a game
Swaggert told the world that he was sorry
Bakker asked us all to forgive
knuckleheads still send in their money
Deep within these ruins is a city full of life
A growing force surpassing all the poverty and strife
An underground militia taking orders from but one
The right to choose who lives or dies 'til senseless victories won
The deadly prowlers are active through the night
To seek their vengeance on others who will fight
Can't see past the fact that they're fighting for their lives
The enemies seek liberation from something deep inside
City of damnation: aggression rules their lives
City of damnation: beckons them to die
City of damnation: on a killing spree
City of damnation: fighting endlessly
They cannot lose the power of a never ending cause
They reach with fear at better things ignoring all the laws
The street becomes a jungle and death attains respect
The bloody anger takes control and minds it does infect
Unending struggle complicates with sheer determination
Killing friend, killing foe, fulfilled extermination
They guard against the enemy to save the territory
A battle which results in death and takes away the glory
Trapped in streets of debris, they're masters at their trade
The fury and the violence will never cease or fade
Alongside all their rivals, dead bodies prove their loss
Music by Dave Carlo; Lyrics by Bob ReidYou think you'll make it but you're wasting your time
You'd sell your sister just to have that last line
You've got to have it you don't care what you pay
Your body's dying but you like it this way
You feel the rush and now the high takes control
Your heart is pumping and you're needing some more
You just keep trying but you can't reach the sky
You've fallen victim to the great white lie
You pave a highway full of ups and many downs
Can't find the fast lane, you just circle all around
Your wheels are spinning, find the rush to live again
Your life line candle is just burning at both ends
When will you realize? when will you see?
The poison in your blood was never meant to be
You stick the needle, whip the blow, you're dying hard
So fuck the world, yeah fuck 'em all, right up your arm
You need the speed
Great white lie
I've seen no lesson learned so here we go again
Can't buy utopia so you just buy your friends
You masquerade behind a face that plays the game
It's your addiction who's the one that digs your grave
Music by Dave Carlo; Lyrics by Bob Reid
You had your say, it's time to play my way
You waste my time, I'll speak 'cause it's my dime
Don't care no more, out cold lying on the floor
My choice, my rules, no time for dancing fools
Taking my chances, I've paid for mistakes that I've made
Fight for the striker, I pay back the piper in spades
Surviving the slaughters, it's taking its toll
Target on side as we break down the wall
Savour the smile on my face as I blow it away
Revenge is sweet, served quick makes a very nice treat
Just add one goof, beat well so there is no proof
Kick hard, kick fast, love the moment, make it last
No guilt, be strong, sick of hearing the same old song
Goof soup tastes good, hits the spot like you knew it would
You'll like, you'll see, good source of vitamin v's
Goof soup tastes great, have seconds, fill up your plate
Goof soup tastes fine, kills the hunger every time
Power and mayhem, the onslaught begins
Fist rises up to the sound
We tear up the stage with our violence and speed
And bring the Iron Hammer down
Deadly distortion caves in your head
Frantic behavior begins
We gather together to shed blood and sweat
Wretches indulging in sins
Destroy all who don't believe
This high speed metal we conceive
The metal is blasting, the underground meets
Your parents don't care where you are
The critics all laugh and call us the worst
But heaviness brought us this far
These bastards must burn for the trouble they cause
Revenge must be sweet in our eyes
A swing of the axe, we won't turn our backs
Lived a life of grief and sorrow
Striving for the best
The only cause they criticized
Supporting all the rest
Pounding pavement, pounding steel
Shredding all to break
The grindstone shatters all beliefs
Our lives and pride at stake
There's got to be some give and take
We'll take from you until
We carve our way through better times
The grindstone, out to kill
Acceptance from the underground
Enough to get us by
Metal minds will stand and count
They're never satisfied
Thrashing through their ignorance
Thrashing all in fun
The plans are never altered
Seried by stress hateful energy
blood is boiling, trying to break free
temper flames, destruction takes its place
killing power uncontrolled disgrace
Draining the strength from your tired soul
robbed of your life to relax
tightening vices taking their toll
inflicting these deadly attacks
Hot blood runs cold
Death sentence from the day you're burn
pressure curse, your skin is ripped and torn
veins bulge, your body's glowing red
hyperthension is leaving you for death
Nervous wreck, hell bent of self destruction
can't break apart this arterial obstruction
cardiac, rate of pulse increase
strained heart, you're soon to be deceased
Metallic mayhem on the loose
Molten rock provides the juice
Rampant start, you just can't hold
Burning heat lost all control
Everywhere you just can't hide
Spreading out it's nationwide
Metal lets you live today
Bands like us, we lead the way
Hot metal, turning you around
Hot metal, burning you down
Hot metal, gets in your brain
I'm feeling pain, from hot metal
Maximum volume soon abtained
Rivet heads now unchained
Studs and leather overflow
Aim to please at the show
Infesting cities one by one
Clenching fists, damage done
Always keeping up the pace
I'll only say it once, don't ask me to repeat it
like I said before, I don't like you
just once you met me, and you don't wanna bet me
you'd better like what I'm about to do
so where'd you stach the money, no don't make me look
you want to live another day my friend
lay it on the line 'cause you know what's yours in mine
the word we chose to use that day was lend
You only live once, better run fast
I don't need excuses, I like it to last
you only live once, better run fast
I'll only say it once, that was my old lady
hey, don't let me see you talk or touch
I'm not too good with pity so be telling the whole city
be telling them that I'm too fucking much
cause there was another man that crossed the line just once
just ask, if only he could talk
his face has soft of changed this guy I rearranged
he ran now if only he could walk
I'll only say it once, this here is my bottle
just n case I need to drink
if you run out of wine, remember that it's mine
that should be enough to make you think
I've worked for what I own, nobody's gonna take it
so shake it off before you dare
I'll just like ice, I'll never say it twice
You know what my problem is
'cause you know everything
You say that we play too fast,
you say that I can't sing
Tell the world your expert lies
The speedfreaks know you're blind
I don't play for critics,
I don't care what's on your mind
I disagree
Sound the death knell for the bands
if they don't like your face
If they hurt your feelings
you proclaim them a disgrace
Weasels have no business
interfering with our taste
Tell the truth in your reviews,
I've got no time to waste
If a critic doesn't like the music that you play
Forget about his point of view, don't matter anyway
If they feel offended just because I wrote this song
Then you'll see some bad reviews,
but now you know they're wrong
Hang the Jolly Roger, it's time to set the mood
All kinds are invited, the sweeties and the rude
I see so many people, who's here that I know?
I don't see any faces, they're head first in the snow
My dazed eyes closing, how I want to see
What did I just say, I've lost my memory
Find someone to lean against, I don't wanna fall
He can't drive 55, well I can't drive at all
Going Under, but I'm still drinking, and will until dawn's light
I'm Going Under, and I don't care about anything tonight
Noise and confusion, what'd ya say, I can't hear
Don't move the floor I don't wanna spill my beer
Who's that in the corner beyond his own control
It's showbiz with a little wiz and playin' in a hole
Naked women dancin' round, take yor pick today
It doesn't matter who you choose she wants it anyway
Where is it you're taking me going down head first
Then take me for a ride just to quench your thirst
Living hungry just as long as we're livin' on the road
Pretending I understand the road crew's secret code
Hard times the better times, been hangin' here for months
But your life's too short a line and you only live it once
The fast life the only life, one life I know about
So I'm passing out the bottle, while some are passing out
The road long and lonely, last night the tune is sung
I'm gonna live forever, they say the good die young
Lyrics by Mike Campagnolo; Music by Dave CarloThe power rips through the night
Energy you just can't fight
No escape from the fire
Tension mounts and takes you higher
Thousand there at the hour
Band plays on and grasps the power
Clench your fist and start to shake
How much onslaught can you take?
You're a GATECRASHER, sweat beads on your head
GATECRASHER, blood is what you shed
GATECRASHER, lash society
GATECRASHER, it's what you want to be
The speed builts intensity
The metal has complexity
The feel of leather, clang of chain
Ears are bleeding from the pain
The grind shatters time and space
A glow around a broken face
Enslaves your mind and very soul
Seems so bold and yet so cold
The lights they set the stage ablaze
You're left there in a metal daze
From the sound, shrapnel flies
The music never seems to die
GATECRASHER!
Dormant I gaze upon death, I hail your flesh
Ages since I wanted to live, Ill spawn pain
Ill spawn pain
Ill make you a servant in a world of slaves
I define his world of shit
Ill make you a servant in a world of slaves
I define his world of shit
Unworthy to once again feel life
Unworthy to walk the edge of the knife
Unworthy to experience plain death
Unworthy to walk this globe of shit
So eager to hail being which are better off dead
In this world of slime we rage
No expulsive motive,
just to kill and drain your pieces of flesh again
Unworthy to once again feel life
Unworthy to walk the edge of the knife
Unworthy to experience plain death
Unworthy to walk this globe of shit
So eager to hail being which are better off dead
In this world of slime we rage
No expulsive motive,
just to kill and drain your pieces of flesh again
You're nothing but an ugly piece of filthy meat
A whore and I'm more then eager to see you down on your knees
Licking your wounds
You, a worthless piece of flesh
Ill spawn pain, Ill reserve death
You, a worthless piece of flesh
Hail the mortal agony
Downtown Toronto a Saturday night
I'm looking to party 'til dawn
Just quit my job 'cause I can't take that bullshit
I never look back once I'm gone
I fought for my freedom, I'm nobody's slave
I'm just gonna answer to me
If that doesn't suit you then outta my way
'Cause a goof doesn't want to be free
They warned me to never burn bridges behind me
They told me that I was a fool
I told them if living means working forever
Then life is the stupidest rule
Wake up at seven, you're working at nine
What sadist invented this scheme,
Five out of seven each week of your life
'Cause you're working as part of a team
Your boss is an asshole controlling your life
Your paycheck your only concern
What a disaster you're wasting your life
Retiring once you've been burned
I know, you need money in order to live well
But why should you work 'til you're dead?
Burn up the bridges and find a way out
Well I'm unchained, got the hiss of a rattlesnake
Point the finger, then you incriminate
A lawbreaker on an outbreak rampage
Half witted, half assed, half baked in a rage
An eye for an eye, you are paralyzed
Break neck speed, tougher than you realized
Roam the streets, double dealer born wild
Piss away all you got, lethal juvenile
Cage the Ragers: once assassins brutalized
Place your wagers: one touch and you're paralyzed
An outrager: listen, too fast to chase
Blackguard, what's the charge, throw me into hell
Foaming at the mouth, ragers fill the cell
Clear to me. to you it's rather frightening
My scene, my crowd, skin has started tightening
Underwear is everywhere, anywhere we go
Reckless jailbait, a proud lot at the show
Grab her at the ears and then some, whad'ya catch?
The sacred fire burns and dwells
In the minds who desire to choose
Those who wait will burn in the flame
They've chosen to lose
The war cry was choking louder
And the thunder stood alone
Biting winds chilled the taker
Searching eyes of stone
Miles behind yet minutes away, the furies slay
Moving up from yesterday, keeping time away
Sirens break the closing fight
The warriors bow to the eagle of night
They gather for the mighty feast
To challenge the taker, the master, the beast
Shadows dance on painted walls
Hate shown through eyes so cold
Secrets stand, the guilty pay
The fury will hold
The search is now descending fast
The proud cry from the fallen fade
The shire handed tribes have lost
Join the renegade
Hey, I'm on a high roll I like to party hard
Don't dig no flakes in flashy clothes
Who think they're fucking stars
I've got myself to live my life
It's all I really need
I've worked this hard for what I am
If you don't like it you can leave
Cheers: you only live one life
Cheers: if you're gonna party, do it right
Cheers: nobody's gonna change my mind
You think it's rude, this attitude
You must be fucking blind
'They'll never last", well here we are
We'll thump right to the end
Some have stayed and some believe
This drink's for you my friend
But most of them, they cut us down
And sat we've got no class
We might be wrong, we might be right
So blow and kiss my ass!
She's on fire with her nasty reputation
I stood back just to view the situtation
She set the trap and I fell right in
Now I'm living in her world of sin
Every night we find a different way
We live by night and sleep all day
Lives so fast only tries to please
One word from her and I'm on my knees
Ball and chain, ball and chain
Without her love, I go insane
Ball and chain, ball and chain
Imaginations's got me drained
She's dragging me down in her world of disgust
Hours of pleasure, dominated by lust
Try to escape but I gave her my pledge
If there's much more of this I'll go over the edge
Got to explain there's no holding back
It's just no use while she's on the attack
I try to tell her that this life's too rough
You never thought I'd do it, you never say it coming
But it happened and they caught you in the act
I used you for a set-up I used you for a decay
And you fool: you went and fell into the trap
You took me for an ally but I knew you were an enemy
You got what you deserved because I'm shrewd
You knew I was an expert in the art of pulling rip-offs
But you never dreamed I'd put the heat on you
I took the cash: you took the fall
You get arrested: I had a ball
You went to jail: I stole your car
I'm having fun while you're behind the bars
You tried to tell the cops but they laugh right in your face
But now they're gonna throw the book at you
Tough lesson for a rookie but they caught you with the cookie
And now your brief carreer as thief is through
I'm the master scammer while they threw you in the slammer
I was in your car and made my getaway
I'm counting tens and twenties, yeah, I'm counting all our money
And you know I'm gonna spend it all today
So if you wanna pull a heist you'd better get some good advice
Before you meet another creep like me
Don't really think you like your cell, I think you'd rather be in hell
But now I know the art of running free
I know you really hate me and I know you wanna waste me
But I also know you're smarter than you look
So when they do parole you and you think you're on a roll
You'd better think before I bait another hook
They called me a liar, a cheat and a thief
they called me a sleaze and a creep
they said I was stupid, they said I was wrong
they told me my brain was asleep
they new all along that I'd take revenge
get even for all of their lies
the truth doesn't hurt as much as this dirt
so now I must plot their demise
Don't: don't critisize or try to be wise
or I'll kick you in the teeth
don't: don't make me fight, at least not tonight
or they'll be laying your wreath
Don't know who they are but they can't be far
so I'll hurt them down and make 'em pay
I've heard it before, I've heard it too much
I heard it only yesterday
they think they are smart, thy think they're tough
well let 'em say it to my face
cause when I am through, I'll promise you
I've got the gloves dropped swinging at you had the brass knuckles.
The guy that stereotyped that was kinda like a fly.
Then when you quit, you be talkin' shit with a speech impediment.
You wanna sweat it, etc & come & get it man.
See if it's right & nigga up or with the hype shit.
And we can put you on the spot, lets see if you like it.
I'll knock you off your feet as soon as you get up again.
So shut the fuck up and cover when you hit your fists.
I got some problems zip it up, cause I can't hold it down.
Cross my snakes got me workin' all the time I'm over town.
You know the legend so now experience reality.
Do not continue, try it, I've got 50 different breaths to breathe.
I wanna get it on, working til the break of dawn.
8 fucken inches down the hatch, my fucken devilspawn.
Bring out the ruler cause you can't believe the stories.
All the time, & one more victories, I'm a former glory.
[Chorus] x 2
So where you from kid? It's the Iceland interior.
Transmitting bass to break the sound barrier.
BOOM!
We got the the shit that makes you get.
On your toes and gets somewhere from here to there.
A lead rappers' gettin verse ready then verse spitting.
Any record producer could bullshit rappers be spitting.
I watch the blunders like no one else noticed.
Makes you wonder if it really pays for being so devoted.
It's kinda sad to me, see it all lead around to rap.
People talk shit about me what do I send back.
So let's see how you do, standing up close to this shit.
Cause that's what you go through if you wanna miss it.
So it's S-W-A-R-E See!
Screaming out when you come top it off with a Z!
I got some paper towels. wipe you off get you clean again
Get my ticket for a ride on the magic power train
So get you extra glide (the power tools), The Great Divide!
(The rubber gloves) Get romantic, tell your stories far & wide
Here we go again, we're out to make it dangerous
So pack it up you silly bitches, time to make some bread for us
[Chorus] x 2
So where you from kid? It's the Iceland interior
Transmitting bass to break the sound barrier
BOOM!
We got the the shit that makes you get
On your toes and gets somewhere from here to there
[Instrumental Playing]
[Chorus] x 2
So where you from kid? It's the Iceland interior
Transmitting bass to break the sound barrier
BOOM!
We got the the shit that makes you get
Take to the air, take to the seas
There's no one left to answer your pleas
We're going to start a new revolution
And heavy metal is our constitution
We're overcharged with rock 'n' roll
A time bomb waiting to explode
Like a loaded gun ready to blow
You can't hide there's nowhere to go
Armed and dangerous
With the music that we play
Our guitars have the power
To blow you all away
We don't need any weapons
Just the ones that we supply
We're armed and dangerous
And that you can't deny
We're on your side, fighting for your rights
All the losers will be in your sights
If they don't like your leather or the noise
They better look out or they'll face the boys
We're heading your way like a fireball
Rockin' as hard as a solid wall
A big shock wave reaching out for you
Why does everyone I know oct stupid when they're drunk?
They talk too loud, slur their words, throw up on my rug
They fall downstairs but they can't feel the bruises they receive
Pissing in my garbage can, can't wait until they leave
I never learn
I threw the party, bought the booze, got whet I deserved
Didn't think they'd wreck my house, never seen such nerve
Now I'II spend the next two days repairing all my stuff
Get the disinfectant out, I hope I bought enough
Puke stains permanently in my rug
Won't fade no matter how hard I scrub
Shit
Next time there's a party I'II be sure it's somewhere else
Revenge is mine when I show up. I'm gonna wreck your house
Enjoy the panic stricken look on someone else's face
music and lyrics by Dave CarloSearching to find presence of mind
Cranking the volume for kicks
Inflicting true pain, awaiting the rain
Looking for my metal fix
Poetic hate, unmercyful fate
Bringing my music to life
Grinding machine, decibel stream
Feeling the point of the knife
Artform of butchers, eve of the storm
The power is yours for the night
Chaos and power, true to the form
We're partying through to the light
Taking for fools, ignoring the rules
Doing what's right in our hearts
Searching for truth, preserving our youth
Intensity right from the start
Hyping our cause, writing my laws
They told me the good times were gone
Laugh in their face, such a disgrace
I guess it was time to move on
Fiery eyes, a sign of the wise
Something I'm doing for fun
Can't explain why I've got to try
There's no way that I'm gonna run
Playing it fast, just like the past
It's all just a part of my style
You'll never know what makes us go
I guess I'll be hanging awhile
Damage done, aggressor convicted
Abandoned, abolished for shame
Quest for duty and crucifixion
Sharpens the wretched blame
Painstaking, spiritual making
Head strong, ceaseless stare
Aroused by vulgar carcass
Diseased from iron ware
Cast iron imprisonment, trash in agony
Outcasts are butchered, and seized in slavery
Cut throat
Panic stricken, scorched and marked
Barbaric disaster is near
Disease and degradation
Misfortune after fear
Piston strength, the archway is worshipped
The tempest disciples repent
The wreckage is salvaged and souls recovered
The followed, disposed and resent
I'm outside every night
I prowl around with hate
revenge is mine, I will kill
enforce your bloody fate
I take my time, what's the rush
I've already won
waiting for a moment
damage will be done
Looking outside while you're sleeping
certain death is slowly creeping
this is real, you're not dreaming
no one hears your morbid screaming
Enforcer: force ya
God has called your number out
your dying lets me live
murder is my only thought
the gift that I must give
you've crossed my path too often
you thought that you had won
I've sentenced you to die in hell
the sentence has begun
Enforcer: your life means so little to me
enforcer: I'll waste you and then I'll be free
enforcer: regretting that we ever met
Lyrics by Mike Campagnolo; Music by Dave CarloThe mighty clash, no time for fear
All civil rights are lost
Death to all the innocent
The unborn are the cost
Trampling through the human waste
As hopeless as it seems
A driving force, an inner flame
Compels to me my dreams
Try to cut loose, try to break free
I just can't climb any higher
They're closing in, for the kill
Escape the fire
Crushing down the multitudes
The depths of hell ascend
Mist upon a moonlit sky
Fades to oblivion
Wretvhed captors force their way
On those who will not fight
Bloodstained vengeance rules their mind
The fire's burning bright
Obsessed with total anarchy
The battle rages on
Regimes shall fall to the ground
We must prove them wrong
Destruction levels city streets
Product of desire
I realize my fate is death
I can't escape the fire
Slicing through the silence
Like blades of stainless steel
A rush of metal fury
Forged from what you feel
Mayhem all around you
You know you're not alone
Fierce and violent actions
Crush you to the bone
Driving us higher, we plunge into fire
A desperate risk we must take
Amidst devestation, forced annihilation
Cause of our necks soon to break
FORCE! OOH!
Possessing unknown power
Grinding to your minds
Don't try to escape
It aims, it seeks, it finds
We know you want it louder
An awesome overload
Decibels of torture
So eardrums will explode
Drove killer instinct
A surging in your veins
Past points of resistance
A level we sustain
Our fuel feeds your fire
Cause this is what you choose
Thrashing with aggression
And cutting fuckin' lose
music and lyrics by Dave Carlo and Bob Reid
You piss me off, you drive me nuts
You drink my beer and you always smoke my butts
You owe me money, you owe me big
You washed up nothing, you slob, you pig
Don't say you know me. don't say we've met
You squirmy worm. why don't you pay beck all your debts?
You're always sorry, but then you're back
Bleed me dry until I die, I'II have a heart attack
They warned me, but I never heard
You always take advantage of me
I told you to settle the score
But you think your lunches are free
You used to work to earn your keep
But you always called in sick
and now you spend the day asleep
I'm not your mom, I'm not your dad
I'm not a genius but I know when I've been had
I want my cash and you expunge
My money is the water and you wanna be the sponge
You never change, but then again
You've always been a loser but you're also my best friend
Lyrics and music by Dave CarloMetal fury, metal sound
We'll rock this place right to the ground
Pounding drums, pounding bass
The look of anger in your face
Lights and action hit the floor
Speed and power, give me more
Molten mayhem, tempered steel
Love to hear the guitar squeal
Fast and loud
Loud and proud
Gotta rock hard
To please the crowd
Fast and loud
Power trip
Now's the time
To let it rip!
Spikes and leather fill the hall
Really want to please you all
Armoured fists, i see them shake
How much can our bodies take?
Sound of metal in the air
Time for you to get your share
Metal fans fill our dreams
Love to hear your metal screams!
music and lyrics by Dave Carlo
Hang your head in shame
Don't wanna hear your name
Say sorry then you do it all again
Your expression tells the tale
Self-sympathy prevails
An asshole I could never call a friend
Fed up with your attitude and fed up with your style
Fed up with your butthead friends and had your smartass smile
Fed up with the goofs I see all throughout downtown Guelph
Fed up with small city life, it makes me wanna ralph
I say things in anger
You take 'em all to heart
You've got no fucking brains
You're not too fucking smart
You're just a little suck
So now go home and cry
To mommy and to daddy
Cause you've got no spine
Let me outta here today
No longer wanna live this way
Gotta leave, I'm getting ill
Can't take much more, I'm gonna kill
Stupid city, like a jail
Fans of thrash will post my bail
Gotta hit the road and rage
Let me out, unlock this cage
Had enough, had enough
Enough to make me sick
Had enough, had enough
Of people wo are thick
With brutal hatred, I take control
The sound of devastation raw
Don't interrupt me, don't irritate me
Or I will break your fucking jaw
I'm too impatient, I'm volatile
I'm getting ready to Ignite
I carry weapons, I'm always ready
I never back out from a fight
Knock down drag out
Dealing out the decibels and pain
Electric Torture melts you
Electric Torture decimates your brain
I hold my grudges, I don't forget
Uprising chaos on my mind
I tried forgiveness, I tried condolence
But now I've left those thoughts behind
Now I try anger, Now I try strength
Now I try anything that's wrong
I'm a survivor, I never give up
That's why I wrote this violent song
Fight for pleasure, fight for fun
Fight for freedom of the press and always carry a gun
Be impatient and be real rude
Don't listen to your parents, they're a couple of prudes
Be sarcastic and be a Jerk
Quit your job and tell your boss what he can do with his work
Live your own life, you get one chance
It's time to take control and never give a second glance
Be a danger, be a threat
Intimidate! Retribute! Collect on your debts
Be a menace and then be glad
Or on your dying day you're gonna wish that you had
Want for nothing, just take it all
Your life is just a waste If you don't answer the call
One more lesson that you should learn
Soldier, I've given you orders,
you've got to be ready to fight
Freedom is what we're defending,
because it's our God given right
Living a life without violence,
I know that you wish it was true
Outlaws disturbing the world peace,
now you know what you must do
Leaders who crush human rights
They know what they're doing is wrong
Armies of organized death squads
They march to a different song
Rise up and teach them a lesson
They will not escape from the free
Force them to give up the slaughter
And then you will finally see
The end of the war
People who protest on our side,
they think that all war is insane
Ignoring security threats,
they can't offer an alternate way
No one wants to wage warfare
But sometimes you don't have a choice
No time for being naive
Instead we should speak with one voice
Hoping that we'll see the day
when war is a thing of the past
Power in responsible hands
will see that this war is the last
Solving the issues around us
depends on intelligent thought
Regardless, we need our armed forces
In case a new war must be fought
Even the score, finish this war
Wake up it's time
We need to find a better place to hide
Make up your mind
I need to know I need to know tonight
Sweet and divine razor of mine
Sweet and divine, razor blade shine
Patience my dear
We could spend a lifetime waiting here
Maybe this time
I hope I get the chance to say goodbye
Sweet and divine razor of mine
Sweet and divine, razor blade shine
Day after day, cutting away
Day after day but anyway
Wake up it's time
We need to find a better place to hide
Make up your mind
I need to know, I need to know tonight
Sweet and divine razor of mine
brought down before you and I'm feeling the feeling
of not wanting to be like you I refused to be trapped
it molds us like a clone never thinking for ourselves
it's time to break this sterile tradition time to crack
take a crack to let us breath
before I consume your filth consume your product
consume this genocide consume your media
give me a razor and with this
She's got a demon, and she gave it a name.
She had it better when she thought life was a game.
She walks beside you but she'd rather walk alone.
She dug her own grave and she made that grave her home.
She's got a million lies that she lives without you.
You can't hurt her anymore no matter what you do.
The truth will come but she is running out of time.
She's got a razor, she's about to cut the line.
You want to hurt her but you don't know where to start.
She's got a twisted mind, she's got a twisted heart.
The drama's in your face but she will not believe it's
true.
There's a million people out there more fucked up than
you.
There's another world out there and it's calling her
name.
When your illusions fade away you never are the same.
You're looking backwards to the way it was before.
But meeting someone like you is more than you had
Stuck in my thoughts again. Wound up so thight again.
Where'd it go so wrong again? Where'd it go so wrong?
Days seem much longer now. Razors feel sharper now.
Hour glass is running, running down.
Razor. Razor.
Hourglass is running, running down.
Where'd it go so wrong? Where'd it go so wrong?
Where'd it go so wrong, wrong? Oh, wrong.
Razor. Razor.
Hourglass is running, running down.
Razor. Razor.
Started out with nothing except the urge to play
Just me and my big ego gonna make it big one day
I never had the money. I didn't have a car
I had to bust my ass at work to save for my guitars
Born a Canadian
Didn't come from the USA
The odds are all against me. nobody will defend me
From bogus bands with cash who just can't play
American luck
Too bad we're Canucks
People think I'm famous but the thought is just absurd
I've made a lot of albums but I don't think that you've heard
If I was American I guess I'd be a star
A victim of the Great White North, completely battlescarred
I've never been a big shot but the fact is that I've tried
We've seen our name in lights but we're never satisfied
Don't live a life of luxury but hold on to your hopes
Late at night you open the door
Your old man's drunk and madder then hell
Another violent conflict, you never asked for this
The place that you call home is now a cell
He's punching out your mother, and now he turns on you
This always seems to happen every night
You're heading for the kitchen, you grab a butcher knife
This time you know you're gonna have to fight
You warn him that you've had enough
This time he's gonna get what he deserves
He charges. you knife him
You wasted him before you lost your nerve
Parricide
You stabbed him twenty times. It only seemed like once
Your family's in a state of shock
The bastard lies there lifeless, your mother starts to scream
You know you're gonna have to call the cops
You warned him, that you'd had enough
This time he had to get whet he deserved
He charged you, you knifed him
You wasted him before you lost your nerve
Parricide
The cops are knocking on your door. the neighbours crowd outside
An ambulance is wailing In the night
They put the cuffs on, read your rights and lock you in their car
They question you about the violent fight
Neighbours start to glare at you, the ambulance arrives
They bring the bloody carcass out in sheets
You had to kill In self-defense you didn't have a choice
You had to carve him like a piece of meat
Seventeen days later, you're sitting in the court
They set you free they knew they should acquit
In spite of how you killed him, your self-defense was just
The punishment you dealt him seemed to fit
I should've kept my big mouth shut
I should've known my place
This always happens every time
I'm leaving in disgrace
My self-control is facing
My anger's on the rise
A temper tantrum on the lose
I'm hatred and despised
#: Out of the game: this time I'm really gone
Out of the game: but I won't be for long
Patience is a virtue
At least that's what they say
But I don't have a time to waste
To try a different way
Hatred is my weapon
Violemce is my friend
And that's the way it's gonna be
Until the very end (my friend) #
Out of the game: believe me when I say
Forget the bullshit, turn up the tunes, we don't care for what's wrong or right
Don't be a stooge 'cause we're not in the mood and we're ready to kick ass
tonight
Don't be an ass, just raise up your glass, carving the only command
Smashing the load until we explode and we don't need to hear from you man...
'cause we don't give a damn
Forget the bullshit, turn up the juice, be ready to kick ass tonight
Making the laws, we'll fight for the cause and we don't care if it takes all
night
Don't be a clown, pass it around, no bogarts the only demand
Dish out the sound, onward hell bound, and we don't need to hear from you man
'cause we don't give a damn
Forget the bullshit, crank up the tunes, we're gonna raise hellfire tonight
Power and speed is all that we need, blasting at ten is our right
Don't mess around, never go down, we give all we've got for the band
Live for the fun, we get the job done, then we fire up the engines and...
Puddles of bloodstains on the floor was all that they could find
They knew he's insane and he'd kill again but they didn't act in time
Never a witness, never a clue. no one heard the cries
There isn't a suspect, they don't have a lead. I ask "can they solve the
crime?"
Killer on the loose
Down goes the sun, now the night has begun and there's panic on the streets
Swift as the wind as the fear's settin' in cause tonight nobody sleeps
There isn't a motive, no sign of remorse. there's no clue to where he creeps
He's wicked, he's out there. an evil disorder, lusting while he reaps
There's a killer on the loose
A whisper, a shadow, you feel he's behind you
Your heart's beating faster, you're reaching for air
Attack from the blind side, the gash spills your insides
You beg for your life but you know, he don't care
Puddles of blood smeared on the wall, now he's toying with their minds
Checking the score we see the cops have nil and the killer stands at nine
Never a witness, there's never a clue. they wait, who'll be next in line
There isn't a suspect, they don't have a lead. I ask "can they solve the
crime?"
You venture out to walk the streets
That no one else would dare
A blackened night, a faster pace
Running 'cause you're scared
A beating heart, a shortened breath
Won't see another day
You've had a taste, your first, your last
Your life's blood drains away
Cry Out, they'll never hear your screams
A DEATH, beyond your wildest dreams
Cold fear, you'll never break away
It's time, you and your kind will pay
He watches you with deadly eyes
To freeze you where you stand
Gripping terror, unholy threat
Bloodbath on command
Unseen shadow, silent now
Waiting for the kill
Caress your flesh with blade of steel
Desire for blood fulfilled
Hunts you down like easy prey
You'll never see the light of day
NIGHT ATTACK left in disgrace
NIGHT ATTACK begins the chase
Plots your death with deviation
Blood flow brings on strange sensation
NIGHT ATTACK you're paranoid
NIGHT ATTACK you're null and void
Controls your right to live or die
Barbaric torture, reason why
NIGHT ATTACK hangs on a thread
NIGHT ATTACK leaves you for dead
Fills your mind with disillusion
Silence starts the mass confusion
NIGHT ATTACK, he has the power
There's a girl over there
With the rhythm everywhere
She's a very fine girl
And she's been awfully nice to me
When we walk as we sometimes do
All the way out Collins Avenue
Well it's very, very fine
Very, very special
Very
Gee, I love Miami
It's so nice and hot
And every building's so pretty and white
And I always get into so much trouble
When I'm down there
I know these two old stiffs
Live on the Waterway
That's where I like to stay
When I'm down
Miami
Blue Day
Best dope in the world
And it's free
Miami
Blue day
Put on your shortie shorts
And your Hawaiian shirt
And come down! There's a man over there
With the conk in his hair
He's a very bad man
Don't look now
He's really very bad
And his name is Medina
And he comes from Argentina
See that little dog there with him
Well, he treats it just like it was his little boy
Oh, I love Miami
It's so hot
And the women down here
Are so impure
I love to hang around
The big hotels
And sleep in the sun all day
I know this double jointed guiy
With the circus in St. Pete
He's with me now
He says hello
From Fourteenth Street
Miami
Blue day
Best dope in the world
And it's free
Miami
Blue day
Put on your shortie shorts
You wanna be cool, you wanna be tough
You wanna be respected, be a man
So you shaved off your face, cut off your hair
Then they gave you a gun and a badge
Now you're the law, you do what you want
And 'We the people' do what you say
'Cause you are the man with the gun in your hand
God help us if we get in your way
Hey, give me a break
What the hell do you think is going on?
They always think I'm stoned, never leave me alone
I think it's 'cause my hair is long
Hey, get off my case
I'm speaking on behalf of my defence
They're always acting brave behind those tinted shades
I'm guilty 'till I'm proven innocent
Now the world needs law and order as common sense dictates
But big shot rookies busting heads is what I really hate
The law is their authority, their actions justified
To 'serve and protect', I think what they meant
They'll do what seems right at the time
They think I'm trouble 'cause I look like I do
I see suspicion rise
It's getting harder just to walk down the street
Without their Big Brother eyes
It's in the paper. now it's on my TV
I've seen the violence and hate
They call it justice but they've pushed it too far
Stop it before it's too late
Torture yourself with the facts
You do what you've chosen to do
No one is giving you sympathy
Changes are long overdue
I've got no problems with the cops 'round the world
Who put their lives on the line
Rounding up rapists and diddlers and sorts
Taking a bite out of crime
But what's this shit with the heavies some pull?
I'm seeing Billy The Club
It's over race, religion, colours and creeds
I've seen gunned down in cold blood
Wise up if you are a supercop, hero I'm talking about
I wake in fear, what I thought was a dream
I thought it could't be true That's not my bed, these are not my clothes
And this ain't my room
My arms are shackled and my legs are asleep
Why am I tied to these chains?
Who is responsible and where do they live?
And what are their names?
Step in, into their world
Where problems and peace are the same
Step in, but tell me no lies
My mind is too fucked from their games
Deed to the world, I lay in seclusion
A fission of freedom or fear?
Reach out and weigh in the evil
I feel that the wicked are near
They pump my veins and they've withered my brain
And ask me 'how do you feel'
Break out and over the walls
This time there won't be no deals
Step in, into their world
They're trying to drive me insane
Step in, but they won't succeed
My adrenalin's pumping again
I'm feeling wicked and I'm tracking you down
Brother, I'm coming for you
You had your day now the night she is mine
You can't stop what I'm gonna do
Won't see me coming but you'll know I am there
Your soul will be shaking with fear
Don't see you laughing, now the tables have turned
This message is so fucking clear
Step in, into their world
They were sucking the blood from my veins
Step in, into their world
I was lying there dying in vain
Step in, into my crypt
Where my life was taken away
Step in, into my world
(Rock and Roll music is the main weapon)
Check... 1, 2
Alright, watch this
I was born with the voice of a riot, a storm
Lightning the function, the form,
Far from the norm I wont follow like cattle I'm more like a catalyst
Calm in the mix of battle
Who let the cowboy on a saddle, he don't know a missile from a gavel,
Para terror troopin flippin loops of death upon innocent flesh, but I'm,
Back in the cipher my foes and friends with a verse and a pen against a line I won't toe or defend,
Instead I curse at the murderous men, in suits of professionals who act like animals
Man child, ruthless and wild,
Who gonna chain this beast back on the leash? This Texas furor for sure-a, compasionless con who serve a,
Lethal needle to the poor the cure for, crime, is murder?
Well, I was born, voice of a riot, a storm
Lightning the function, the form,
Far from the norm I wont follow like cattle I'm more like a catalyst

Who let the cowboy on a saddle, he don't know a missle from a gavel
On the Left, On the Left, left, right left
On the Left, On the Left, left, right left
On the Left, Uhh, On the Left, left, right
(OK, you're lookin' good, you might just move a little left,
Just a little left, about 170)
I read the news today, oh boy, a snap shot of a midnight ploy
Vexed and powerless, devoured by hours, I'm motionless with no rest
Cause a scream now holds the sky, under another high-tech drive-by
A lie is a lie is a God, an eagle is a condor of war, and nothing more
Islam peace, Islam stare into my eyes brother please off our knees
To beef now we feed their disease, interlocked our hands across seas
A flag is a rag is a shroud out loud, outside, a faceless crowd
A cowering child just took their last breath, one snare in the march of death.
Uhh, come on
Get up
On the Left, On the Left, left, right left
On the Left, On the Left, left, right left
On the Left, On the Left, left, right left
On the Left, Uhh, On the Left, left, right
Here it comes the sound of terror from above
He flex his Texas twisted tounge
The poor lined up to kill in desert slums
For oil that boil beneath the desert sun
Now we spit flame flip this game
All the targets are taking aim
All targets are taking aim

Only the crows
Fly at night
Viewing the desolation
Only the crows
Cry at night.
And the victims of my desecration
My time is at night
When I hear the crows cry
And you are so afraid my sweet
Cause you know you shall die
I caress your skin
OHH. it's my high
A thin-lined pattern
Red on white
My art. my passion and the crows at night
You twist and tangle
From my cold steel touch.
From a RAZOR!!
Only the crows.
Razor
Making headlines and headstones
Breaking hearts and breaking bones
Your life's a performance, so let the cameras role
Razor
You know it's all too good to last
If it's not too much to ask
Slow down, slow down, slow down before you crash
Oh, before you crash
Razor
You're such a fatal attraction
Your friends are only for fashion
We may last for a while, but we'll go out of style
Razor
You know it's all too good to last
If it's not too much to ask
Slow down, slow down, slow down before you...
Crash, crash into my arms
Put down your guard disarm, disarm
You think this whole world's against you
It's never your fault, we're the ones with the issues
Crash, crash into my arms
Put down your guard disarm, disarm
You think this whole world's against you
It's never your fault, we're the ones with the issues
Crash
Slow down before you
Crash
Slow down, slow down
Crash
Slow down, slow down, slow down
Razor, razor, razor
Crash, crash into my arms
Put down your guard disarm, disarm
You think this whole world's against you
It's never your fault, we're the ones with the issues
Crash, crash into my arms
Put down your guard oh disarm, disarm
You think this whole world's against you
It's never your fault, we're the ones with the issues
You think this whole world's against you
