1. Intro/Scar Spangled Banner
Oh say you can you fucking see
The missiles fall like rain
Bloody mountains majesty
Dead bodies on the plain
By the bombing’s eerie light
See the crimson waves of red
What so proudly they all fell
The twilight of the dead
[Chorus]
America -- the violent
The indifferent
God shit his grace on the
America -- the arrogant
The belligerent
Will live in infamy
We the people, for no people
Secure the blessings of tragedy
Do ordain we have established
The scar spangled banner
We pledge allegiance to no god
Only to the blood
Liberty is just a dream
When dying in the mud
This, the land of the deceived, home of the depraved
Bombs, they drop like falling leaves
And the deadly flag still waves
Repeat chorus
Red -- the beautiful color of blood
Flowing like a stream
White -- the color of bleaching bone
Lovely and obscene
Blue -- the bruising color of flesh
Battered, ripped, and torn
And the colors of the flag of hate
Of violence and porn
What you see is what you get
You haven’t seen the bloody trail yet
I’m no patriot, just a hate-triot
Blood sport, my sure bet
See the flag, get a body bag
Salvation from a .44 mag.
Nothing left, no one saved
Cause our dog damn motherfucking bloody ass banner still waves
2. Deliver Us To Evil
in my grave down below
hell's fire starts to glow
my prayers have now been heard
by my lord, my god. master lucifer
there is no life or birth
when the undead walk the earth
unholy blaspheme and torment
are now set free.
lead us into temptation
a reign of terror will begin
deliver us to evil
we promise death, world's end
incubus in the sky
pentagram held high
hell's filth hounds begin to bark
the bells begin to tone
virgin lies in blood
the blood was once her own
the redness and the horror of blood
swept acro55 the land I stood
lead us into temptation
a weigh of terror will begin
deliver us to evil
we promise death, world's end
black prince of hell
in fire he reigns
your god above wrapped up in chains
there is no love
when works collide
deliver us to evil
when god has died
I laugh while they cry
their fears build up inside
in their confusion they try to run
but it's no use, my work is done
slow death is the price
for living such wasted lives
their bodies they burn and bleed
until they bow, my word they heed
you've led us into temptation
our reign of terror has begun
deliver us to evil
prince of hell
satan's son
3. Blacklist
There is no mystery
What you get is what you see
You betrayed my loyalty
You’ve gone and done me wrong
Now I do you harm
My revenge is guaranteed
You stabbed me in the back
Spit right in my eye
Dragging me right into the fray
Take you out, write you off, there’s never enough ways to throw you away
[chorus]
You’d better start runnin’
‘Cause you know that I’m comin’
Cocked and loaded I never miss
I’m onto your game
And I’m layin’ the blame
And I’m adding’ your name to my Blacklist
You shoulda thought twice‘
Cause your playin’ with your life
You must have some sort of death wish
I haven’t any doubt
That your time has run out
‘Cause I’ve added your name
To my Blacklist!
You tried to beat me
Thought you could defeat me
But how you were ever wrong
I rise to the occasion
Character assassination
To put you down where you belong
You’ve got a lot to say
When I’m so far away
Now you’ve got a problem with me
Take you out, write you off, when I’ve had enough
Of your verbal debris
Repeat chorus
For all the shit you talk
You’ve never walked the walk
All you do is run and hide
Slander me, slag me
You’d better body bag me
I’m not a man you should deride
I’ve heard everything
All your mudslinging
You better run, as fast as you can
Take you out, write you off, are you brave enough
To stand and fight like a man?
I've added your name - to my Blacklist!
I've added your name - to my Blacklist!
I've added your name - to my Blacklist!
I've added your name.. to my Blacklist.
4. Piranha
slicing jaws a way of life
brought up to waste mankind
loki's pets his little children
deadly eyery time
trapped in swamps by gates of hell
don't ever: let them out
for if you do and they escape
you'll fight a bloody bout
piranha kill in a pack - you'll run
piranha start to attack - you'll done
if you think you can beat - deadly school
if you think you can live - vou're a fool
gates of hell are old and cracked
they tumble and they fall
out rush a bloody wall of death
to kill anything at all
their sole mission is t0 kill
strip your bones and flesh
rip out your eyes tear off your face
an agonizing death
piranha kill in a pack - you'll run
piranha start to attack - you're done
if you think you can beat - deadly school
if you think you can live - you're a fool
5. Til Death Do Us Part
There's some that say we won't last
Say that we could never beat the the odds
But we just look at them and laugh
As the pressure surges through our heads so strong
The heavy side of life
Keeps us going day by day
Our enemies we won't forgive
Condemn them to a life of pain
[chorus]
Can't you guess what this has done to us?
It gave us power! It's a way of life!
There's no separation
Total annihilation
Crushing through creation
'Til death do us part!
Gathered crushing force of one
Eluding all the basic obstacles
But we're all in this game for fun
So say fuck off to your politics!
We write the songs we want
And spell it out the way it is
Our music is not a front
It's all about the way we live!
[repeat chorus]
[solo- Gary]
[ending lead riff- Rick]
6. Fabulous Disaster
When the missiles are falling, and the reaper comes calling
You had better kiss your ass goodbye
Atomic detonation, mass immolation
Without a warning, all your memories will die
So try to relax, face up to the facts
You'll either die or the fallout will rot you in your tracks
There'll be no tomorrow, only pain and sorrow
'Cause our futures in the hands of a raving madman
They spend all their time building missiles so people die
What kind of life do you expect for us to live?
We're angered by fear, because the time is near
When some lunatic will finally pull the plug
And forever after, you can hear the laughter
World's being plastered by an evil bastard
Exterminating faster, devastating plaster
Fabulous disaster
Now you can see, what this all means to me
When the bomb
Comes falling
Down
Now the reaper has called, but do you have the balls
To sit there or stand up and fight?
Try to make a note, it's your right to vote
To keep these fucking assholes in line
It will always be the same 'cause they lie in their campaigns
Promise through their teeth for total world peace
So we know it's not the truth, they should call Dr.Ruth
On how to give the people the real big screw
They spend all their time building missiles so people die
What kind of life do you expect for us to live?
We're angered by fear, because the time is near
When some lunatic will finally pull the plug
And forever after, you can hear the laughter
World's being plastered by an evil bastard
Exterminating faster, devastating plaster
Fabulous disaster
Now you can see, what this all means to me
When the bomb
Comes falling
Fall Down
7. Shroud of Urine
Christ on a cross
Such a symbol of loss
Since what seems like the dawn of time
It’s just an engine of grief
Yeah, a bloody belief
One that has no reason or rhyme
You’re cruci-fucked
And you’re out of luck
If you put your faith in the flock
Your only sin
Is when you piss in the wind
They’ve never had any key to the lock
[chorus]
I believe in nothing
Least of all in the word of shit
So hide in your shroud of urine
Because I can’t take the smell of it
God isn’t great
Just an icon of hate
Intolerance and despise
Believe in me
And I will set you free
I never heard a bigger pack of lies
It’s ludicrous
That any one of us
Would want to be lead by the blind
It’s all in vain
It’ll be your bane
If you’re looking for the divine
Repeat chorus
Forgive and forget
Such an empty threat
Religion at the end of the blade
The insanity
Of Christianity
Is just a fucking masquerade
You’re cuci-fucked
And you’re out of luck
If you put your faith in the flock
Your only sin is when you piss in the wind
They’ve never had any key to the lock
Repeat chorus
8. Parasite
A distant hum
Cuts right through the skies
Calling my attention I look up
I can't believe my eyes
Thousands and thousands
Hungry for our minds
They're biting, eating and controlling
Anything they find
[sub-chorus]
Coming down from behind
They've got no care for our kind
See the world bending down
On it's knees
[Chorus]
Run-but you can't hide
Blood-coming from inside
My mind-doesn't know wrong from right
Parasite!
A million more
Coming after me
They thrive on insecticide
They live on DDT
No poison can defeat
The never ending swarm
They'll eat you from insdie out
You'll wish you were never born
[repeat sub-chorus]
[chorus]
run-but you can't hide
Blood-sucked from inside
My mind-doesn't know wrong from right
Parasite!
[harmony lead- Gary]
[solo- Gary]
[solo- Rick]
Now they're living in my brain
I'm destroying at their cue
A violent reaction starts within
And now I'm after you!
I'll grab you by your head
and split your skull open wide
The infestation in complete
You're dead but yet alive!
[repeat sub-chorus]
[repeat chorus]
9. Only Death Decides
Sinner, cheater, liar
Made your living till the day you retired
Stealing, taking, using, and abusing
Now for all your sins that you are accused of
Cruelty, greed, dishonesty, and hate
Forever locked outside the pearly gates
Begging, praying, pleading, and bleeding
Won't extinguish the fire you're feeling!
They say when you die you go to hell
But when you're dead it's too late to tell you
You're left to rot in your wooden cell
Am I in Heaven, or am I in Hell?
Am I in Heaven, or am I just in Hell?
Only death decides for sure
Don't you know only death decides...
Where you go!
Pain, sadness, fear
Is all you've ever given throughout the years
Thievery, intimidation, and assault
Tools of the trade until death puts a halt
Because you're deceiving, unfeeling, and misleading
The world is final, there's no use in appealing
The culmination and sudden realization
It's all real, no hallucination!
They say when you die you go to hell
But when you're dead it's too late to tell you
You're left to rot on your wooden cell
Am I in Heaven, or am I in Hell?
Am I in Heaven, or am I just in Hell?
Only death decides where you go?
Can't you see what death decides for me?
You'll never know until death decides!
Dealer, pusher, conniver
It's no surprise you fell paralyzed
Felon, loser, and misuser
You're dead broke, a washed-up boozer
Misery, disaster, catastrophy
Exactly how you knew the end would be
Torture, terror, and nightmare
Is what you'll receive when death comes in three's
They say when you die you go to hell
But when you're dead it's too late to tell you!
You're left to rot in your wooden cell
Am I Heaven, or am I in Hell?
Am I Heaven, or am I just in Hell?
Only death decides for sure
Don't you know only death decides for me?
You'll never know until death decides...
Where you go!
10. Forward March
In life you’re moving forward
But sometimes for the worse
Always keep a step ahead
Never in reverse
The cards are stacked against you
In everything you do
But you try to get out alive
When you don’t have a clue
You always feel the tension
Breathing down your back
To be the best that you can be
To be on the attack
Kicking down the wall
And kicking your face in
Means I’m moving forward
My new life can begin
Forward march in your face
Taking back, taking place
Before you die, living fast
Take a chance, hauling ass
Forward March!
[chorus]
Never, no never, no never
Move in reverse
Here I am, I’m moving straight
Fuckin’ forward, and I’m taking it all
The steps to blow on right past you
I’m never gonna back down to you
And all your people who think
You’re the best, no one can
Beat you, well I’ve got
Some news for you, you motherfucker
There’s a new man in town who isn’t
Any sucker, so if you don’t back
Down, I’ll put my bat to an
Angry motherfucker such as yourself
Now I’m going to wipe out all those who they’re first
I’ll be the first in line
My attitude’s the worst
Because I am so spoiled
And never second best
I will leave you in the dust
And lay your ass to rest
So never under estimate
The mind of evil thoughts
I will bring you down
Spit you out before I’m caugh
tBecause I have the power
And the upper hand
Everybody in my way
Will know that I’m the man
Forward march, in your face
Taking back, taking place
Before you die, living fast
Take a chance, hauling ass
Forward march!
Repeat chorus
11. Chemi-Kill
Politicians, they're all on the take
Toxic polliters, leave cancer in their wake
Campaign contributions are nothing more bribes
Pockets growing, fatter at the expense of all our lives
[sub-chorus]
Now we'll grab them by their white collar
And throw them in the waste
Look at them floating in the cess
They're such a fucking disgrace!
[chorus]
They just want
To make another buck
They couldn't care what happens
They wouldn't give a fuck
Their big house way up on a hill
Was paid for in death
It's chemi-kill!
They don't know what to do with it
They don't want to keep it around
So they pull up behind my back door
And bury it underground
We scream and yell but they just laugh
On the way to make a withdrawal
But we've got to ram it down their throats
Make them eat it all
[repeat sub-chorus]
[repeat chorus]
Babies are lying in their womb
Dying in their private tomb
Born retarded, crippled and lame
But they say they're not to blame
Tumors are growing in my spleen
The children are turning green
We're dropping one by one
Is this the end of all our fun?
How can they get
Away with this?
We take them to court
But it gets dismissed
They've bought off the judge
So he throws out the case
Ther goes the human race!
12. And Then There Were None
wars coming start running
eyes blinded by the nuclear blast
hearts beating retreating
all around are bodies burned to ash
children crying and people dying
no salvation from this holocaust
bodies burning and now their learning
in war painful death's the bloody cost
life ends in sin
god cries world dies
and then there were none
the world starts to burn
the world powers learn
that satans work is done
wheels grinding the glare's blinding
bullets flying all around your head
tanks crushing and soldiers rushing
if you live you'll wish that you were dead
stop praying there's no saving
no salvation from your fiery grave
brains swelling bodies smelling
and satan comes to see that no one's saved
13. Culling the Herd
They’re everywhere and everyplace
Scum of the human race
Stickin’ to my skin like a rash
Society’s their scapegoat
But I am the antidote
And it’s time to take out the trash
The world’s a big cesspit
Of puke and piss and dogshit
But I ain’t gonna be its whore
Follow and I’ll lead the way
Predators are now the prey
Results like these are hard to ignore
[chorus]
You may think I’m insane
Or maybe just a little absurd
What you don’t understand is
I’m just culling, I’m just culling the herd
I know I’m not the only one
Who thinks that something must be done
To clean the garbage up off the street
Dare to look me in the eye
I bring the truth, I never lie
To me, they’re just another piece of meat
The punishment will be swift and sure
For this disease, I am the cure
No problem, the doctor is in
My prescription for a better life’s
A rifle or a razor knife
Remove whoever’s under your skin
[Chorus]But please, don’t call it a murder‘
Cause murder’s such a dirty word
What you don’t understand is
I’m just culling, I’m just culling the herd
When will everyone realize
Some people should be sterilized
Their tubes are only fit to be tied
All they do is shit and breed
Too ignorant to ever succeed
Stupidity should not be multiplied
Lend them not a helping hand
Or the future will be damned
The world will take a turn for the worse
The human race should be purified
Or we’ll all be mongrelized
Implement the cure for the curse
Repeat chorus
14. Sealed with a Fist
The honeymoon's over and the loves gone sour
Her nagging has got you down
But you picked the wrong way to deal with it
You chose to slap her around
When you exchanged your weddin vows
Nobody said "you may now fist the bride"
Now that the little woman went and got her a gun
The love ain't all that died
Chorus:
Jealousy
She knows you can't live without it
The bullet's speed
Cutting right through all your bullshit
Wedded bliss
Began for her when the bullets hit
16 rounds in case she missed
Sealed with a fist!
When she took your hand in marriage
It didn't mean right across the face
Small woman, big man, it takes a lot of guts
You're just a pussy in the first place
But now that your wedding chamber's
The one the bullet's in
Brave man, look at you, not so tough
When the hammer's cockin
Chorus
The little woman had all the shit she could take
Her intuition said "lock and load"
He-man, what's your plan to get out of this
She's gonna fill your ass with bullet holes
Guess who's bigger when she's squeezing the trigger
I got news, it isn't you
When they carry your body out over the threshold
You'll wish you never said, "I do"
Chorus
15. Throwing Down
Forgive and forget
A sign of weakness
No more mouths to feed
Say what you will some hearts bleed
Stay away from me
Now my conscience feels no more
Hold my own from no one
No degree of guilt possessed
Now I suppose that I am hated
Chorus:
I can't deny anything
I'm sick and tired, I'm burnt
You can't rely on me
To be the one who saves you
I get off on negativity
Makes me laugh to see your strife
I won't succumb to your numb
I owe nothing to no one
Are you sick of me
I don't care
Never be a kiss ass
No degree of guilt possessed
Now I suppose that I am hated
Chorus
Feed me the blame like it's my fault
I'll put it back in your face with an assault
Crack in the back and I'll raise up
To crush mindless fools like you
Throwing down..
16. A Lesson in Violence
if you got something to say
then come my way
i'm guarded by satan
i'm riding on baphomet
i'll teach you a lesson in violence
you won't soon forget
the pleasure of watching you
is whati will get
fight - for what you believe to be right
crushing with all your might
I laugh at their pitiful cries
they run from the fire in my eyes
nothing can save them now
you've learned a lesson in violence
get on your knees and bow
or learn a lesson in violence
I love to stab my victims
until they're dead
a knife to the throat
or a smashing blow to the head
i'm judge and jury
my sentence has just been passed
step into the circle of hell
if you think you can last
fight for what you believe to be right
crushing with all your might
I laugh at their pitiful cries
they run from the fire in my eyes
nothing can save them now
you've learned a lesson in violence
get on your knees and bow
or learn a lesson in violence
17. War Is My Shepard
You put your faith in Christianity
I put mine in artillery
My M-16, my lord and savior
Christ never done me a motherfucking favor
[chorus]
Pay for all of those in pain
For those who died in vain
Scars from battle nevermore
Still we march off to
War..
War..
War..
War is my shepherd!
Hate it if we can’t comprehend it
Kill it if we don’t understand it
Pray to god and your fate is sealed
As you die alone in the killing fields
Repeat chorus
Farwell, Graham, and Farahkahn
They need god, I need napalm
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition
My sermon is my demolition
War..
War is..
War is my..
War is my shepherd!
18. Tempo of the Damned
When you fell the darkness calling out your name
Don't try to fight the power surge
Don't you laugh, for this is not a game
You're powerless, don't resist the urge
So many black hearts answering the call
Legions of the musically possessed
Congregations joining in our free-for-all
Unleashing all the rage they've repressed
Chorus:
Come to us
Succumb to lust
Giving in to the ministry of sin
You know the drill
Do as you will
Dance like demons of the din
All will yearn
For our nocturne
The dawning of our cult is at hand
Come and pray
We know the way
Bow to the tempo of the damned
We are all leaders of the horde
Keepers of the apes of wrath
Heed the call of the volume lord
High priest of the bloodbath
Serve unto us, surrender us your souls
And great rewards you'll receive
And when the tempo has taken all control
Even the heretics will believe
Chorus
19. Impaler
Comes from the land where night is day
The people live in fear
Been this way for oh so long
Another four thousand tears
Everyday he hunts to kill
You know he can't help himself
Same routine time after time
A way to seize the wealth
Drinking blood don't mean a thing
Life means even less
Impale your wife, slay your son
Another gory mess
Born in hell, left to die
Now out for all your blood
Living his life day to day
To stake you to the mud
What you see, he don't care
Now you bleed, start to stare
Cut you down, rip you up
Watching warm blood run
Crush your skull strike him well
When you land, just impaled
Freshly done, there's no hope
Watching warm blood run
Impaler!
20. Toxic Waltz
Here's a new dance craze that's sweeping the nation
It's called the toxic waltz and it's causing devastation
You're jumping up and down like a psycho circus clown
Slamming with waltzers all the way around
You get caught up in the whip
You're thrown into a flip
You aim for someone's head
To stain the floor red
Give someone a kick
To prove you're truly sick
Bounce back from some blows
And blood runs out your nose
Flailing round and round
And you're injury bound
Waltz it up!
The pit is it!
You can take your chance
On this rough new dance
If you dare!
To dive in!
There are some that try
But they won't survive
They don't hit!
'Cause they're wimps!
And this exercise
Helps you brutalize
With us!
Exodus!
Everybody's doin' the toxic waltz
Kick your friend in the head and have a ball
Come on and do the toxic waltz
And slam your partner against the wall
Everybody's doin' the toxic waltz
Good friendly violent fun in store for all
Get up off your ass and toxic waltz
If you hit the floor you can always crawl!
Used to do the monkey, but now it's not cool
The twist and mash potato are no exception to the rule
So don't be a dunce and dance like a runt
Just throw your elbows with good friendly violent fun
Don't start to cry
If you get a black eye
Just dive back in
And give another try
But too much action
May leave you in traction
So you better get insurance
No matter your endurance!
Flailing round and round
And you're injury bound
Waltz it up!
The pit is it!
You can take your chance
On this rough new dance
If you dare!
To dive in!
There are some that try
But they won't survive
They don't hit!
'Cause they're wimps!
And this exercise
Helps you brutalize
With us!
Exodus!
Everybody's doin' the toxic waltz
Kick your friend in the head and have a ball
Come on and do the toxic waltz
And slam your partner against the wall
Everybody's doin' the toxic waltz
Good friendly violent fun in store for all
Get up off your ass and toxic waltz
If you hit the floor you can always crawl!
Get up on your feet
Don't look so obsolete
And thrash like an athlete!
Don't sit there on your ass
Don't look like you've got too much class
You'll be harassed!
You know we guarantee
This is the key
So rage or get the third degree!
You begin frontal assaults
And start your somersaults
And do the toxic waltz!
Do the toxic waltz!
21. Bonded By Blood
black magic rites on this black evil night
begin with the slice of the blade
metal and blood come together as one
onlookers they gasp in dismay
taste the sweet blood of one another
sharing without any greed
bang you head as if up from the dead
intense metal is all that you need
murder in the front row
crowd begins to bang
and there's blood upon the stage
bang you head against the stage
and metal takes its price
bonded by blood
metal takes hold death starts to unfold
it's loud like the worlds at an end
your in a blood fury the metal won't stop
onlookers they bang at command
cutting your palm and drinking your blood
the power that few others dare
you feed the need to go out and kill
the same need that your blood brother shares
murder in the front row crowd begins to bang
and there's blood upon the stage
bang your head against the stage
and metal takes its price
bonded by blood
22. Strike of the Beast
walking down the backstreets
the noon is full and high
you feel your body start to sweat
someone's about to die
you turn around and run
it's the only thing to do
someone's about to die
and that someone... is you
time to run or fight
off the strike of the beast
you hear the creature's hooves
start to echo through your brain
you fear the demon's hellish howl
it makes you go insane
you smell the creature's fowl stench
laced with death and waste
don't lose your mind he's right behind
breathing fire in your face
time to run or fight
off the strike of the beast
if you fail you'll be
the hellish demon's feast
black as night he begins his flight
wings outstretched in the cold
glowing eyes, he wears no disguise
his evil has yet to be told
breathing fire the beast is flying higher
now he swoops down on his prey
all the world a horrid mess
leaving black earth in decay
the beast prepares for battle
and you prepare to die
the blood running down your throat
dulls you woeful cry
you can feel the power rage within your soul
when you die you go to hell and live... forevermore
