Razor - Cycle Of Contempt lyrics



Tracks



01. Flames Of Hatred

Distant eyes watching us
For centuries since our birth
Those who are responsible
For putting us on Earth
Watching us evolve into
A dark self-serving race
Less humane, more insane
They want us all erased

Chances come and chances go
But we can't get it right
The rich take more and leave you less
With no relief in sight
Constant never-ending greed
Becomes the status quo
Impatiently they mobilize
Cause now it's time to go

Lost, nowhere to run
Death blacks out the sun
Smoke, blinding eyes
Flames of Hatred rise

Coming out of dark skies
With unrelenting force
A pure path of destruction
Roots evil at the source
Destroying races one by one
They don't discriminate
Total global genocide
For us it's just too late

No time for a new path
Payback for the lies
Downfall unavoidable
Under blood red skies
Smell of burning bodies
Casualties amass
Forget about a future
It's death by poison gas

Lost, nowhere to run
Death blacks out the sun
Smoke, blinding eyes
Flames of Hatred rise

Human race assembles
To make a final stand
Their pleas will go unanswered
No time for weak demands
The world as we once knew it
Will no longer survive
Stamped out for eternity
There's no one left alive

02. Jabroni

Got ourselves a tough guy here
Who thinks he's number one
That won't be allowed to stand
When all is said and done
I detect disrespect
As I invade the ring
It's time for retribution
And the high it always brings

I will break you
Overtake you
Make you humble
Watch you crumble
Snap your neck in two

Violence is just the way
I let you know I care
Times are tough, I live to win
And I accept your dare
Hot air is all you got
A blowhard full of lies
Submission moves and body slams
Will cut you down to size

I will break you
Overtake you
Make you humble
Watch you crumble
Snap your neck in two

Jabroni, you're just a punk
Jabroni, and now you're sunk
Jabroni, I'm here and that's bad news
Jabroni, I always win
Jabroni, when I step in
Jabroni, glad I'm not in your shoes
Jabroni, you spineless cuck
Jabroni, you're out of luck
Jabroni, the red flag that you missed
Jabroni, I came to fight
Jabroni, it's not your night
Jabroni, here comes the truck, my fist!

Jabroni!
Jabroni!
Jabroni!
Jabroni!

03. Off My Meds

Shooting off your big mouth
You're starting up with me
Don't have a clue who I really am
But I suspect you'll see
I'm not known for my restraint
And I can feel the heat
Building up inside my head
I'll punt you with my cleats

Off my meds
That's what you get
Off my meds
You lost the bet
Off my meds
You're not so brave
Off my meds
Into your grave

Wipe that grin right off your face
Replace it with a frown
I deal the cards as I see fit
To run you out of town
I have learned that on this earth
Some people just don't think
They seem surprised don't recognize
When I am on the brink

Off my meds
That's what you get
Off my meds
You lost the bet
Off my meds
You're not so brave
Off my meds
Into your grave

I don't need a Judas
Lurking in my space
No one needs a so-called friend
With a second face
Reprisal is the only way
That I can get some rest
When it comes to payback
You'll find that I'm the best

Off my meds
Simmering hate
Off my meds
Unwelcome fate
Off my meds
The dead man's hand
Off my meds
Just like I planned

04. A Bitter Pill

Screaming, beatings, inflicting shame
Waking with dread, every day was the same
Ignorance, prejudice, teaching us lies
Verbal abuse, I just want you to die

I don't want to see your face again
I don't want to know you

Now that you're older you spend time alone
Feeling abandoned and shunned at the home
Your kids do not visit and they never call
What did you do to them when they were small?

I don't want to see your face again
I don't want to know you

Some people tell us that we're supposed to care
Payback's a bitch and in life you just might get your share

Memories linger, to them you're a snake
Pain and abuse, they will never forget your mistakes

Now you're approaching the end of your days
You need attention but nobody pays
Maybe it wasn't the best way to live
No need to ask them 'cause they won't forgive

05. Crossed

How did it happen right under my nose
With a person I thought was a friend
Hidden agenda just driven by greed
In a way that I can't comprehend
Can't let it beat me, won't let it defeat me
Just get the scum out of my way
No one has time for a backstabbing slime
So I'll ditch and get on with my day

Try to demean me and soon you will find out the truth
Fists that start flying in anger will cost you a tooth
Fighting for pride I refuse to be somebody's fool
Living with dignity that is my number one rule

So get out of my face
As fast as you can you disgrace
The die is cast I've got no room for you

Thought it'd be hard but it wasn't at all
I'm sorry to tell you it's true
Character's something you don't understand
Now I know that I'm better than you
What are you made of, just what makes you tick
To be honest I don't really care
Better of now that I gave you the finger
Don't wanna share more of your air

Try to demean me and soon you will find out the truth
Fists that start flying in anger will cost you a tooth
Fighting for pride I refuse to be somebody's fool
Living with dignity that is my number one rule

So get out of my face
As fast as you can you disgrace
The die is cast I've got no room for you

Never doubt my will to send
Enormous hate your way my friend
You used to be important now we're through

Here's some advice but it doesn't taste nice
You gotta have friends you can trust
If you get crossed then you know all is lost
For a douchebag with brain's full of rust
Hold your head high, there's no need to ask why
There are some things that we can't explain
Never betray a good friend for a day
Unless you want plenty of pain

06. First Rate Hate

They go to church on Sunday
Pretending to be sweet
And yet they find it easy
To lie and steal and cheat
Religious rot corrupts them
Not something they can feel
They go through life oblivious
To what we know is real

As long as they have something
Don't care if you've got squat
They never feel compassion
It's a lesson they weren't taught
They'd sell you out for peanuts
If that's what suits them best
But punishment is coming
For those that we detest

The only justice that we have
The justice we create
To take out our frustration
And set those bastards straight

First rate hate
First rate hate
First rate hate
First rate hate

First rate hate
First rate hate
First rate hate
First rate hate

Asking fools for money
To pay for all their toys
Fancy suits and fancy cars
From scams that they employ
If I can do some damage
And fuck up all their plans
They'll get a taste of what it's like
But they still won't understand

Take your fucking fairy tales
And stick them up your ass
Someone has to tell the truth
And free us from the past
All you want is more for you
While everyone else dies
Try showing people some respect
Instead of preaching lies

Fucking lies
That's right
Fucking lies

07. Cycle Of Contempt

You think you know what's good for me
But I don't live in luxury
It seems to me you're out for blood
While I don't have much more than mud

Pretentious attitude sends anger to my core
To crush the narcissist that treats me like a whore
You like to make up rules from which you are exempt
So I will end you and this cycle of contempt

I try my best to get ahead
But you treat me worse than the dead
I've let my fear get out of hand
It's time I live the way I planned

I won't ignore the fact that you like to control
I'm trapped in prison but I'm gonna get parole
And as you lay there dying still you don't repent
The rage that takes me ends the cycle of contempt

Anger is the weapon as my temper starts to rise
All this built up fury's gonna end with your demise

Won't give you mercy, I won't let you plead your case
Savoring the panic as the sweat pours down your face
Anguish and suffering for this you will repay
This cycle of contempt won't see another day

08. Setup

Thought it couldn't happen
But here we go again
Charisma the elixir
For the weakest type of men
Blind allegiance to the one
Who thinks of you as sheep
Unless the masses sort this out
We're all in pretty deep

We've seen our share of liars
But this guy's got some game
When all hell is breaking loose
Who do you think we'll blame
Just because he said so
Doesn't make it true
It's up to you to understand
That you're getting screwed

I won't give in
Can't let them win
Eye for an eye
Think for yourself or we die

Set up
Taken for a fool
Wake up

Double-crossing commentators
Pushing verbal waste
Provoking just for profit
Through the network they've disgraced
I get drunk with anger
When liars push their lies
Don't want to see another war
That leads to our demise

Uncommon sense will save us
Believing fools will not
Let's use our higher intellect
To crush their evil plot
Recognize deception
And all the flames they've fanned
If you let them con you
You just might lose all your land

I won't give in
Can't let them win
Eye for an eye
Think for yourself or we die

Set up
Taken for a fool
Wake up

Have we learned our lesson
Do we have a clue
Are we going nowhere
It's really up to you
You can't let your guard down
You can't cut them slack
Time to strengthen our resolve
Because they'll all be back

09. Punch Your Face In

Hate, beloved hate, contempt my middle name
Drunk and mouthing off at me, you don't have much to gain
Talking big as if you're tough, I've got you in my sight
Target you for punishment cause you deserve a fight

I will punch your face in
I will punch your face in right now
Punch your face in
Punch your face in

Maniac, you hit back, but you can't stand your ground
Strength of rage compelling me as my fists start to pound
Maybe you should think before you act like you're the man
Acrimony at my side to execute my plans

I will punch your face in
I will punch your face in right now
Punch your face in
Punch your face in

I don't try to save the world I know it can't be done
The older that I get the more I see that we're all scum
Wish that it were different but there's not much I can do
I keep my eyes wide open to protect myself from you

I will punch your face in
I will punch your face in right now
Punch your face in
Punch your face in

10. All Fist Fighting

I was sitting at the back of the bar
I could see it all coming they were ready to go
They were giving one another the eye
You could tell in just seconds it was gonna explode
With an angry violent look on his face
He just fed him one sucker and the guy hit the floor
Then some seven other guys in the room
You could see them start swinging with their fists for

They were all fist fighting
All fist fighting
All fist fighting
They were all fist fighting, all fist fighting, all fist fighting

Then a bouncer with the arms of a bear
And another came running, they were madder than hell
They were pulling on their shirt and some hair
You could see them just grabbing, it was so hard to tell
Then somebody took a swing at his face
And this bouncer starts freaking, now he's ready to kill
They were punching out each other so far
As I could tell, just gotta ring the bell for

They were all fist fighting
All fist fighting
All fist fighting
They were all fist fighting, all fist fighting, all fist fighting

There were twenty fucking cops in the room
Everybody's just pummeled lying out on the floor
There was broken glass, the tables were turned
And broken faces just busted, needing stitching for sure
Then the Sergeant with his stick in his hand
He's got a question, but he can't get nobody to tell
Then the waitress at the side of the bar
Said all she saw were faces hitting fists for

They were all fist fighting
All fist fighting
All fist fighting
They were all fist fighting, all fist fighting, all fist fighting

11. Darkness Falling

We all shield our faces, from the nuclear blast
They warned us about it, now it's in the past
Bodies lying everywhere, just look at what we've done
Radiating particles, blocking out the sun

Darkness falls
Silence calls
Thoughts of dread
Fill your head
As good as dead

All in haste, life erased
No withdrawals, lawless brawls
When darkness falls

Darkness falls
Darkness falls
Darkness falls

12. King Shit

I am the man, you will do what I say
Whatever I want, you will always obey
The master controller, the one in command
I weed out the weaklings, a strong iron hand

The captain of slave drive, you're working for me
The whip of hard labour, El Presidente
The one who wreaks panic, the one who spreads fear
I'm the one you're afraid of each day of the year

I'm King Shit, I'm King Shit, I'm King Shit
Yes I'm King Shit and you won't quit
I'm King Shit, I'm King Shit, I'm King Shit
I'm King Shit, get used to it

Don't speak 'less I ask you, don't look at my face
You're in my domain and you're stuck in this place
Pretend that you like me but I know you hate
Giving you orders, controlling your fate

There's no use resisting, don't dare go on strike
I'll buy you and sell you if that's what I like
I hold all the cards and I don't want to deal
I don't walk in your shoes and don't care how it feels

I'm King Shit, I'm King Shit, I'm King Shit
I'm King Shit and you won't quit
I'm King Shit, I'm King Shit, I'm King Shit
Yes I'm King Shit, get used to it

After the buzzer you go for a beer
To wipe out the memories of all those lost years
You'll never recover from what I impose
You work til you drop just to pay for your clothes

Emptiness fills you, the truth hurts you bad
The choices you made left you desperately sad
You ask for assistance but no one can hear
A legacy looms of a life lived in fear

I'm King Shit, I'm King Shit, I'm King Shit
I'm King Shit and you won't quit
I'm King Shit, I'm King Shit, I'm King Shit
Yes I'm King Shit, get used to it
