Exodus - Impact Is Imminent
you wouldn't take a taxi

you said you couldn't stay

you drink and drink and drive

almost every day

your life speeds through your mind

faster than you drive

living on a shoestring

all your fucking life

your friends say you need help

you tell them that you're fine

as you tip the bottle

and swallow some cheap wine

you're a living time bomb

waiting to explode

you'll just be a statistic

when you're dead and cold!



every time you drink and drive

you always think that you'll survive

till your car is crushed and bent

impact is imminent

sirens fill the streets aloud

it always draws the biggest crowd

they peel your body off cement

impact is imminent!



the daily obituaries reveal

more and more fools climbed behind the wheel

thinking they were sober enough to drive

they didn't know they'd never come back alive

a bad case of double vision

led straight onto a head-on collision

passed out and crossed the double line

how can anyone be so asinine?



blind drunk and hauling ass

he got airborne off an overpass

he never knew he left the ground

like a warhead target bound

you can't correct your fatal mistake

when you're the guest of honor at your own wake

thought he could fly till he hit cement

impact is imminent!



drunken time bombs set to detonate

when happy hour's over they're off to celebrate

their vision's but a blur, they barely see the road

been drinking for so long they're starting to erode

a fucking drunken lush climbs into his car

kills you in an instant coming from the bar

an alcoholic bum hits you from behind

a child and his mother run down in their prime!

Exodus - Like Father, Like Son
spare the rod, spoil the child

daddy's boy's been too wild

his discipline's taught with a strap

no sweet song on father's lap

he always said that men don't cry

but burns and bruises seldom lie

dad learned his lesson well

spitting image of a man in hell



brought up in a home where love's replaced by pain

and when he's on his own he's sure to do the same

expressing his feelings not with love but with his fists

the pattern of hurting began generations before



like father, like son

another life has begun

the punishing ways that you choose

you were always born to lose

like father, like son

a war you've never won

please daddy, no more...

please daddy, no more!



the circle continues of violence passed down

all there is hope for is a tear from a clown

hoping someday that this torture will end

to prison or death i hope you will be sent



now do you feel like your life is on hold?

maybe you've come to the end of your road

admitting your sins may be your sacrifice

to stop all this pain to your son and your wife

Exodus - Low Rider
[originally performed by war]



all my friends

own a low rider

low rider

is a little higher



low rider

drives a little slower

low rider

is a little lower



low rider

don't use no gas now

low rider

don't drive too fast



take a little trip and see

take a little trip with me

Exodus - Me, Myself & I
good samaritans are something i can't stand

suppressing their own needs to lend a helping hand

looking out for number one is my only creed

self-preservation runs deep in my breed



i, me, mine suits me just fine

i won't even give you the time

go out and buy your own watch

i ask nothing of you but leave me be



me, myself and i - only these three apply

me, myself and i - on these three i rely

me, myself and i - my only true ally

me myself and i - i'm greed personified



thinking of myself is all i ever do

not a single thought will i waste on you

my only concerns are things pertaining to me

don't bother trying to find any generosity



i, me, mine suits me just fine

i won't even give you the time

go out and buy your own watch

i ask nothing of you but leave me be



no charity, no one rides for free

no solicitors, can't you fuckin' read?

take your social clauses and your empty pleas

me, myself and i is the only thing for me

Exodus - No Love
come into my home

black master rules the night

see the power start to surge

upon a hellish sight

it's time to raise them up

up from below the grave

white bones glow savagery

provide the light we crave



turn to look at baphomet

from below and not above

welcome to my sacrifice

tonight there'll be no love



the darkness is my lover

she makes he feel strong

take what i wamt, when i want

at night i do no wrong

when i walk the streets:

got loki on my side

slit your throat, drink your blood

who cares when others die



turn to look at baphomet

from below and not above

welcome to my sacrifice

tonight there'll be no love



you thought you'd live for oh 50 long

now it's your turn to die

live with satan down in hell

born to forever cry

took your life i don't feel bad

born to live in hell

died for nothing. slow decay

your body starts to smell

Exodus - Metal Command
your gathered here tonight

to heed our metal. cry

obeying all. our wills

all others you defy

a wall of sonic sound

with amps turned up to ten

our legions are advancing

to battle once again



fists are in the air. banging everywhere

thrashing to the sound faces melting down

it s time to fight for metal tonight

bangers take your stand and obey

our metal command



we go from town to town

and leave a trail of death

and if you don't surrender



you'll breathe you final breath

there will be no survivors

no prisoners of war

join our ranks or perish



we'll slice you to the core



fists are in the air thrashing everywhere

banging to the sound, faces melting down

it s time to fight for metal tonight

bangers take your stand and obey

our metal command



our legions show no mercy

the final hour nears

sonic blast deafening

it's ripping through your ears

there is no retribution

for those who do not dare

there's only execution

your dead without a prayer

Exodus - One Foot In The Grave
why do people sell their souls away

just to ride the horse another day

they're all slaves to the heroin

but it's a war they'll never win

they'll never live to see the error of their ways



one foot in the grave

ruled by the drugs they crave

it all began as a need for kicks

now they'd sell their lives for a fix

powerless to break those chains

there's only losses and there's never no gains

they only live and die as a slave

with one foot, one foot in the grave



it promised an escape but only lied

master of the world they're trapped inside

the needle and the spoon only gave

a one - way ticket leading to the grave

and suffering until the day they die

Exodus - Open Season
feelings cold as ice, i never, never think twice

hunting down my prey - they die

cross my line of death and there's nothing else left

any way you choose - you lose

architect of pain, deadly is my middle name

and i'm living proof - crime pays

i'm a psychopath and i create the aftermath

that sets the sun forever - on you



haven't you figured out it open season?

i'll track you down and kill you for no apparent reason

running like a frightened little rabbit would run

i won't be satisfied

until you're nullified

before my eyes



intoxicating

invigorating

it's open season on you



calling the police and i'm gonna pull my piece

your heart's gonna cease - to beat

just look in my eye, black as pitch to horrify

you can scream and cry - goodbye

it may never last and i blame it on the past

being told to kill - at will

shivers down my spine when the victim is all mine

you begin to beg - for help



haven't you figured out it open season?

i'll track you down and kill you for no apparent reason

running like a frightened little rabbit would run

i won't be satisfied

until you're nullified before my eyes



intoxicating, invigorating

it's open season on you



go ahead and run, the chase is always fun

but the kill is the icing on the cake

a curtain of red from my hailstorms of lead

will rain on you as you die

your face will be spewing chunks of bloody ruin

your baby face will be a gory mask

my personal crusade is to see that you are flayed

and my hunting knife will complete the task

Exodus - Overdose
[originally performed by ac/dc]



i never smoked with no cigarettes

i never drank much booze

but i'm only a man, don't you understand

and a man can sometimes lose

you gave me something i never had

pulled me down with you

pulled me up, think i'm in love

hope you can pull me through



i overdosed on you

i overdosed on you

crazy but it's true

ain't nothing i can do

i overdosed on you



oh woman you give to me

more than i can take

but listen honey, i don't mind

you're a habit i don't want to break

don't want none of that hard stuff

don't need it anymore

i'm in love, and i'm sinking fast

and i don't need no cure



gee i was happy as a man could be

to far gone to escape

power of love, don't pull me off

just write on my grave:

Exodus - Parasite
[exodus]



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]

Exodus - 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 *****ed

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

Exodus - Pleasures Of The Flesh
[exodus and baloff]



smell of death lurks around the place

human need, unholy race

see the bloody pile of bones

the night is filled with hellish moans

it's been around for oh so long

at dawn of time they sang their song

the need to eat the human flesh

the strength it gives to pass the test



[chorus]

feel the power

of your unholy death

feeding-frenzy

human-flesh

to live



[first lead fill- gary]

[second lead fill- rick]



ther is no law, it's time to fight

a brutal hunt every night

life grows through hounds of flesh

a stronger soul from another death

hidden back, yet deep within

jungle's there, it's always been

hunt at night to stalk their prey

kill and eat it before it's day



[chorus]

feel the power

of your unholy death

feeding-frenzy

human-flesh

to live



[solo- gary]

[solo- rick]



dead bodies lie where they fed

half eaten carcass stained red

hunting parties come to call

leaving nothing, they take it all

there's no need to change their ways

blood and money, it always pays

don't disturb their solitude

or the next victim will be you!



[repeat chorus]



[solo- rick]

Exodus - Pump It Up
[originally performed by elvis costello]



i've been on tender-hooks ending in dirty looks

listening to the muzak, thinking 'bout this 'n' that

she says that's that, i don't wanna chitter chat

turn it down a little bit or turn it down flat

pump it up when you don't really need it

pump it up until you can feel it



down in the pleasure center, hell bent or heaven sent

listen to the propaganda, listen to the latest slander

there's nothing under hand that she wouldn't understand

pump it up until you can feel it

pump it up when you don't really need it



she's been a bad girl, she's like a chemical

though you try to stop it, she's like a narcotic

you wanna torture her, you wanna talk to her

all the things you bought for her,

could not get her temperature

pump it up until you can feel it

pump it up when you don't really need it



out in the fashion show, down in the bargain bin

you put your passion out under the pressure pin

fall into submission, hit and run transmission

no use wishing now for any other sin

pump it up until you can feel it

pump it up when you don't really need it

Exodus - 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

Exodus - The Last Act Of Defiance
the prison system, inherently unjust and inhumane

is the ultimate expression of injustice

and inhumanity in the society at large.

those of us on the outside do not like

to think of wardens and guards as our surrogates, yet they are.

and they are intimately locked in a deadly embrace

with their human captives behind prison walls.

by extension, so are we.

the terrible double meaning is thus imparted

to the original question of human ethics

"am i my brother's keeper?"



the second of february, 1980

began three days of misery

a scene of retaliation

epitomizing violence, horror, and vindication

thieves, murderers, and rapists

inundated their prison like homicidal sadists

guards and convicts alike would pay the price

to them the electric chair would look like paradise

only degradation, torture, and cremation would suffice



a sea of agony rolled in like the coming of the tide

the more fortunate escaped the insanity through suicide

the screams of the dying would haunt the living to the grave

survivors of the riot relive the nightmare every day

the last act of defiance



with a never-ending appetite

barbiturates set them off like dynamite

eradicating informants

acetylene torches dealt the punishment

melted from skin to bone

the fire silenced their screams to moans

smoke filled the air from bodies set aflame

begging for mercy, but their words were spoken in vain

they weren't allowed to perish until they cherished all the pain



guards they had taken hostage

were to blame for pushing them over the edge

their brutality would be their demise

like sharks in a frenzy they lashed out at their prize

when the madness had ended

the gore was too intense to be comprehended

no one explained the real reason why

for cruelty of a few, so many should die

Exodus - The Lunatic Parade
look at all the freaks!

lined up head to head

they wait for out arrival

some are here for the show

some are here to watch

and some to preach the bible

hats off to the faithful

that come to waltz with us

they're doing what they wanna

come on to the next show

parade along with us

you won't be forgotten

you won't be forgotten



listen to the freak show

shouting to our songs

they sound like charging rhino

a place to meet an old friend

a place to meet some new

you can always follow

you wanna meet the clowns

when the circus comes to town?

gather all around!

we'll remember all of you

unless our crew dismembers you!



come in from hell or wherever you came

slums of the world are to us all the same

step up and join us now and don't be afraid

our party's starting to become a charade!

lunatics everywhere will all act the same

and when the sideshow starts there's no one to blame

there's no one left, the town is having a raid

they all have joined us in our lunatic parade!



you wanna meet the clowns

when the circus comes to town?

gather all around!

come on to the next show

parade along with us

you won't be forgotten!

Exodus - Thorn In My Side
you know that you never gave me a chance to prove myself

and i never thought that my life was worth your wealth

you never said to me anything encouraging that i could see

it's difficult to cure the pain that i've had to endure



i always tried to listen

even when i disagreed with you

selfish disposition makes it hard

for me to respect anything you do

then you tried to push me,

but you weren't strong enough to get the job done

then you tried to hit me,

but the back of your hand just isn't quick enough



you are a thorn in my side,

all my life you never left me alone

thorn in my side, in your mind you wish i never were born

thorn in my side, through it all i think you pushed me to fail

thorn in my side, it's about time you're recognized

for your lies and your worthless alibis



it's been a long time waiting for the judgment day

so i can cast away

the thorn that you stuck so deep inside of me

it's ancient history

you're always acting like a king of kings

like you were a god

you wear a crown of thorns like a hat on your head

my firing squad will put an end to your facade

like a thorn in my side

Exodus - Verbal Razors
every time i see your grinning face

i realize you're a pitiful disgrace

so many fingers pointing down at you

talking behind your back and you don't have a clue

parading around like you think you're god

you're just a cheap imitation, a complete and total fraud

i'm sick of hearing all your bragging and your lies

a real born loser and that's no surprise



you said your father died in vietnam

but you're a bastard son with a whore for a mom

mirror magnet, smelling like a rose

you plastic motherfucker, all you do is pose

conceited, self-righteous, and arrogant

your head is so hollow there's enough room to rent

little big man, so full of shit

just shut up, you damn hypocrite



verbal razors - cut you down to size

i'm sick of wading through your bullshit

i see through your disguise

verbal razors - slice you to the bone

you've been abandoned

and now you're all alone



you lost your job because you're incompetent

everybody hates you, your friends all came and went

the facade is getting old, we're hip to your charade

you mother has disowned you, your wife's out getting laid

evicted from your condo, now you're living in a shack

sitting on your ass shooting up and smoking *****

now look in the mirror, and tell me what you see

a strung-out junkie with a college degree!



nobody cares if you're alive or dead

we've had enough of being used and misled

you've pissed on everyone you've ever met

now you're digging through the trash looking for a cigarette

no one's there to lend you a hand

you better help yourself, 'cause i hope you understand

self-centered, back-stabbing egotist

don't fuckin' ask for favors, 'cause you're on my blacklist

Exodus - When It Rains It Pours
got out of bed about 3 pm thought it was a holiday

then my boss called just to tell me

i'm late and he's giving my job away

well i took me a walk to the liquor store

so i could drink away my blues

spent my last ten bucks, then i dropped the bottle

and i broke it all over my shoes

so i got home to find the power's shut off,

there was someone knocking at my door

it was my landlord serving an eviction notice

'cause my checks are bouncing off the floor

i pounded my head up against the wall

thinking what else could go wrong

but this was only the beginning to a real bad day,

it wasn't gonna be a lot of fun



i knew i should have never gotten out of bed

'cause of the rain cloud above my head

i'm down on my luck and it's plain to see

so tell me why does this happen to me?



when it rains it pours, when it rains it pours on me

when it rains it pours, and there's a storm moving in on me

when it rains it pours, raining down on only me

when it rains it pours, when it rains it pours



i drove across town to go see a friend

when i heard a siren on my tail

it turned out i had a warrant for my arrest

and i couldn't even post the bail

so i'm sittin' in a cell for 48 hours

keepin' company with thieves and drunks

i'm free to go but my car's impounded

and i'm thinkin' 'bout becoming a monk

so i'm wandering aorund in a catatonic daze

now barely a shell of a man

i look like i live out of a shopping cart

and i'm picking up aluminum cans

i staggered my way to an overpass

and fell to the dirt asleep

i figured out tomorrow is a new day

and maybe i could buy myself a life real cheap

Exodus - Within The Walls Of Chaos
murder, drugs, cash, and greed

it touches everyone and everything

within the walls there's no escaping the disease

sidwalks turn to pharmacies

all the pimps and pushers territories

dollars pouring in from the victims trapped within

schoolyard's a place of sorrow

pray your children live to see tomorrow

a place where mothers cry, and kiss their dying sons goodbye

living in a state of fear

afraid of everything they see or hear

someone they love may get shot

for drugs they never even bought!



violence is a way of life

revenge delivered with a gun or knife

paybacks are a bitch

they'll leave you dying in a ditch

caught in the hypnotic spell

their life's story they'll never life to tell

in a hazy curtain, they can't see the end is certain

imprisoned by narcotic chains

life for some will never be the same

trapped in walls of glass

hoping that this all will pass

but some will find their way outside

face the evil, eyes open wide

break the bonds that pull you in

escape the hell that thrives...



within the walls

of chaos and despair

most are unemployed

living on welfare

prowling the halls

the vultures come to feed

on the flesh of those

who are enslaved to the need

the final curtain falls

and no one sheds a fear

their pleas for help always seem to fall

upon deaf ears

within the walls of chaos they forgot

that dignity and sanity

are things that can't be bought



with every passing day

another life is cast astray

wear the wrong colors

and you might get blown away



turn of a page

another name's crossed off the list

shot between the eyes

with a rig clenched in his fist



driven to the grave

ruled by need for kicks

extract their own gold teeth

to satisfy their fix



there's *****s in the foundation

the time will soon arrive

when the walls will crumble down

and bury everyone alive!



within the walls...

within the walls of chaos...

within the walls...

within the walls of chaos...

within the walls...

within the walls of chaos!
