WHIPLASH LYRICS
"Looking Death in the Face" (1985 Demo)
1. The Burning of Atlanta
2. Stirrin' the Cauldron
3. Last Man Alive
4. Spit on Your Grave
5. Respect the Dead
1. The Burning of Atlanta
The craving to ignite, reflects a glowing light
The fire in his eyes is bearing no disguise
Armed with an evil grin, that sparks the flame within
The pyromaniac will burn this town, ignoring all costs
[Chorus:]
Atlanta is burning down
Atlanta is burning down
Atlanta is burning down
Atlanta is burning down
Thousands will die
And there's no telling why
In his psychotic mind, his twisted thoughts unkind
No motive to this deed, he's of an evil breed
A killer to his grave, now who could ever save
The striker meets the match, the flames begin to catch
And he's gone
[Repeat chorus]
The culprit of the crime will not escape this time
Cause what he left behind, would be the proof they'd find
A tank of gasoline was proof...the guillotine.
2. Stirrin' the Cauldron
The moon is full one dark evil night
A blood curdling chill perilous fight
The fog is thick the clouds set in
A twist of fate a night of sin
The howl of the wolf a dark evil power
Creeps down your spine it's the witching hour
The minute you fall to the hands of the flame
Evil will take its course, it's all over
The wicked witch's mission is through
Once the bubbling brew has tasted you
The eye of newt and fang of bat
A pinch of this a pinch of that
An door lurks from burning skin
The spice of life the cauldron will win
The chanting is done devour your stew
Just don't turn your eyes or it'll devour you.
3. Last Man Alive
Take a look to the sky for your pot of gold
You can hear every cloud story to be told
Listen close what is this
Not bird or plane
Could it be the H bomb fucking with your brain
Even if you'd seen it you never would believe it
Even in your sleep you would never dream it
The bomb is falling fast nothing's going to stop it
How will you know that you're the last man alive
All it takes just one touch over one, two, three
With a flick of a switch turn on World War 3
With a flash there will be no one left alive
Search the earth just to find worldwide homicide
Metal mass cuts the wind whistling through its course
Suddenly crashing down hits the ground full force
Aims to kill one and all bursting into flames
Only you're left alive no one left to blame.
4. Spit on Your Grave
Ruthless and evil lies that deceive
Meaningless virtues knee deep in greed
I am the master with the iron fist
I am the master no one knows exists
I am the master I'll take your life
I am the master I'll spit on your grave
Taking advantage guilty as sin
And into the cauldron where no one can win
Thrown down and stepped on and knifed in the back
Civilization is under attack.
5. Respect the Dead
Ones your souls at rest
That's when you'll confess
Cut you down to size
Make you realize
That you not so tough
Say you've had enough
What it takes to learn
On the cross you'll burn
You must respect the dead
That's where your future lies
You must respect the dead
Or they'll rip out your eyes
When you in your tomb
You will meet with doom
Cause you've cursed the dead
Better left unsaid
You'll regret the days
That you've spit on graves
Now your time has come
You immortal scum.
