In his walls of madness
Deep inside his bran
The Deathripper's calling out
To end his pain
The punishment, the aftermath
The final blow, the last laugh
He's holding too little
Of the sanity he grasps
A grisly plot is made
Now locked up in a cage
"A lion pacing back and forth
Holding back his rage"
His clenched fist only shows
His hatred as it grows
How much more can a man hold bad
Until his head explodes

Sentenced to death
With no hope in sight
Murdering victims
Robs them of life
His sentence set in stone
He's gonna make 'em pay
His only chance for freedom will be your judgement day

Millions lay dead
Resistance is futile
Armies are crushed
Bodies thrown in piles
Rich white man's dream
Once gained through the machines
Brought pain to this world
Through bloodlust and greed
The new hounds of war
Mechanical Bastards
Ripping through flesh
Destroying their masters
Programmed to kill
Destroying at will
The brilliant turned fools
Now punished by their tools

The time has come
For all your leaders to die
Electrified hate
Your blood an their circuits will fry
Bring on the war
Unleash the bastards
Prisoners no more
Destroying their masters
Fleets take the night
Destroying mankind
Those that revolt
Will spill blood from their throats

Wise up and see your fate
Witness the mechanical advance
Rise up but it's too late
You should have stood up when you had the chance

But now the world's a living hell
The stench of death is all you smell
The ground is scorched
The air is black
The sound of your neck being snapped
What was an earth worth fighting for?
Now destroyed by the corporate whore
An over load of greed and wealth
Who's gonna save them from themselves?

Antarctica winter 1982
Research was going steady
And there was nothing much to do
In the distance a lone wolf flees
But no one knows
The carnage that this animal will bring

VIOLENCE UNFOLDS
Assaulted by Norwegian guests
They'll have to die like all the rest
SEARCHING THROUGH SNOW
Discovering the frozen corpse
Of something that's not of this earth
THE CREATURE COMES FORTH
An evil makes its presence known
Attempting to create a clone
NOWHERE TO GO
And something grim is at hand
Something in this artic land

The Thing
No one knows the hell it will bring
It's got you from the inside
It's taking over your life
Intentions so unexplained
Until it gets a hold of your brain
Hiding till the damage is done
Killing them off one by one
The sense of fear begins to grow
No one has protection
From this dangerous infection
Their fates in the hands of the unknown
And nerves are quickly blowing
While the thing is steadily growing
Whom to trust they'll never know
And nothing can contain
A creature unexplained
Half the crews dead more to go
Somehow it's got to stop
And now McReadys getting pissed off

Now there's nothing left to do
Discovering who's human
Is what this final test will prove
Deadly results are what this test brings
But it's the final hope
To unveil his gruesome being
VIOLENCE UNFOLDS
The test was the solution
Now its time for execution
SEARCHING THROUGH THE SNOW
And now Blair is the last Thing left
He'll fight until his dying breath
THE CREATURE COMES FORTH
But this will be the final clash
And kills it with a giant blast
NOWHERE TO GO
Our hero's fate is finally sealed
The camp is lost The Thing is killed (or is it?)

Another boring Saturday
Looks like everything is swell
Another fucking week of this
I want to blow it all to hell

Nothing exiting no news to report
This is my weekend
And I'm fucking bored
I've used all my patience
There's no more to give
If I can't fuck shit up
I don't want to live

The chicks are passed out
And so are the dudes
I'm sitting wide-awake
And there is nothing to do
I could steal a bike or hop on a board
But my friend left his car keys
Right next to the door
Nothing left to decide
It's time for me to take the ride
This time I'm going to cross the line
And do it going 95mph

Blood Drive we're gonna die!

Hop curbs sideswipe
Oops there went a tailpipe
Only went a block away
This cars luck just ran out today

Sliding through stop signs
Seeing double going blind
Followed by about 10 cops
I'll finally get to be on FOX

I'm sitting talking to myself
I look around there's no one else
My shirt is soaked with my own drool
I thought these drugs were going to rule

As my heart pumps and my head spins
I think its coming back again
Instead of finding piece of mind
I'm losing it in record time

It feels like I'm dreaming
I'm losing all feeling
How long will this last
Far beyond trashed
The seconds seem longer
The drugs become stronger
As I slip away from reality

Scared to death will it come soon?
I'm locked inside this bathroom
Claw my skin pull my hair out
Make's no noise when I try to shout

Searching for feeling drifting away
I'm trapped in a K-hole
And can't find my way!
Locked inside a padded room
And fed all my food with a spoon
My arms are strapped my brain is fries
I'm fucking trapped inside my mind!
They've tried their therapy
To help with my affliction
I'm sentenced to a life
With my accelerated vision
Nothing left to do
I can't find a way back
It spins and spins until it all turns black

My mind is a cell
Trapped in a K-hole

Something these days
Has been bringing me down
The rumour mill's been spinning around
Fair-weather friends breeding severed ties
Fuels more fire to all of the lies
Tension building your head starts to swell
Thinking of ways to send them to hell
Stepped on so coldly it's just not right
They're all just jealous
Cause you're fucking tight!
Now sit back for a second
Just take a deep breath
From contemplating ways
To incite your early death
Instead of thinking about your problems
And all the things you lack
You gotta figure out a way to get those fuckers back!
Stop mulling through your problems
Don't drink the pain away
Don't use it for a crutch
To start acting really lame
You need to get up from your slump
And the things you think you lack
You gotta figure out a way to get those fuckers back!

Just because you're different
They can't comprehend
Betrayed by the ones
Disguised as your friends
Don't take their shit
Stand up for your fight
They all hate you
Cuz you are fuckin tight!

We are the speed metal punks
Pushed to the limit too much
We're the unstoppable force
Now it's the time to erupt!
We are the army of drunks
Our weapons are set to destruct
We've come to punish all foes
Now it's our time to erupt!

No longer underneath the streets
We'll infiltrate until you're weak
We'll strike upon what you hold dear
The Waste has come the end is near
Annihilating shit like you
Despising everything you do
Heed or everlasting blast
Kneel before the kings of thrash
The never ending thrash assault
Ramming metal down your throat
Developing a new regime
Of metal punks to reign supreme

We're angry all the time
It doesn't mean we lost our minds
We've channelled all our rage
To put em in an early grave
A terrorizing reign
Slicing through you brain
Those that don't condone
We'll the flesh right off your fucking bones

He couldn't pay the bills so he moved his family
In a cheap apartment near a wast refinery
They didn't know their water was infected with the slime
That they dump into the water barrels at a time

A deadly reaction sets forth
A hazardous mutation to end all creation is born
Pitiless fluid corroding like acid
Flesh torn!
Whose skins unprotected will soon be infected
Be warned

Radiation is spreading
Human lives are ending
No one can stop this
Mutated race of the damned
Across infected lands

In a panic he ran screaming
From his wife and kids
The image burned into his mind
Of their corroded limbs
As the smell of rotting flesh
Begins to attract flies
They knew that they could never
Return to their normal lives

I got some serious troubles
I have some issues
I have a big obsession
And it's for killing you!

I want to run you over
I want to stab your throat
I want you in some cement shoes
Getting thrown off of a boat!

There is one way
Only one way
To ease this pain
To ease this pain
It will resolve
When I know your dead
In a casket today
Nailed casket today
I'll seal your fate
Death is at your door
There's only one way to go

So now that you've heard my message
Don't say you weren't forewarned
I'm gonna cause you so much pain
You'll wish that you weren't born
Your gonna meet your maker
Your gonna rot in hell
I'll make sure the last thing you see
Is me here with a smile

Step right up
For games and prizes
For real cool rides
And a fun safe time
So I did
Not knowing that the park
Hidden behind the tall fences and red curtains
Was a fate worse than death itself!

So I stepped right up
As fear took hold
My heart stopped and my blood ran cold!
Running for your life
Through a maze of pain
Welcome to the circus from a mind deranged
Come aboard the ride
That's designed for death
As Abusement takes your last breath

Run to find an exit
Weaving through the dark
The freak show has taken
Over this park!

On the lonesome highway
The roadways are slick
The temperature's dropping
The fog is so thick
The chill in the air
Mixed with oil in the lane
It's nature's creation
To cause you great pain

BLACK ICE!
You're gonna wreck
BLACK ICE!
Don't lose control
BLACK ICE!
You'll break your neck

So on your next journey
Just heed my advice
That shit killed Cliff Burton
BEWARE OF BLACK ICE!

Sweat pours down my face
Laying in the strangest place
Body aches from constant pain
Blurred thoughts fill my brain

Legs too sore to even walk
Throats dry can't talk
A modern day Jekyll and Hyde
Throwing up hating life

Once again it's taken its hold over me!

Once thought as a delicious drink
Pounds me till I cannot think
I'm hammered in a single blink
Patrons look in disbelief
While I'm causing major grief
By punching people in the teeth

Kicking people on the balls
Trying to break every law
My friend said I jumped through a wall!
Rolling round in broken glass
Falling down kicking ass
Forgotten memories of the past

Don't blame me
I was just bored
Blame it on the drinks
That the bartender pored
14 shots some beers as a chaser
Then he followed it up with a Mind Eraser

Real fucked up's the only way to react
Then you run around the street
Like you're a maniac

It was my only choice
It's not my fault
Now I'll spend the next day
Trying to collect my thoughts

You thought that you'd have so much fun
Out surfing with your bro's
But in the water awaits
A terror that nobody knows
Without a fear you rip around
Stoked on the killer waves
But to dine on your flesh
Is what this monster craves!

But it's too late it has made its mark
THE TERROR SHARK
You're dragged beneath
By its rows of teeth
THE TERROR SHARK

Panic on the beach
There's nothing the lifeguard can do
The crimson red of you blood
Stains the oceans blue
You never thought that you could be
So low on the food chain
You're left a floating piece of meat
In agonizing pain

The meal is done you body is gone
They only find an arm
A terrible reminder
That you're never safe from harm
Back into the depths
Its stomach is full from the deadly feast

Remorseless killer digests the deceased
THE TERROR SHARK
Humans are helpless to this mighty beast
THE TERROR SHARK
Claiming its prey helpless in the water
We're a human buffet

Nothings going to save you
Now that it's begun to slay
You're lucky if they find your torso
Floating in the waves

When the water's not shallow
You're bound to get swallowed
As the hunger for your flesh
Grows more by the hour
Was it a good idea to go for that swim?
Since they'll never find your body
In one piece again

Out of the water!
THE TERROR SHARK

Come to save our souls you say
Or are we just prey?
Should we serve?
A lie absurd called the holy word
Jesus Christ you're out of luck
Let's thrash that fuck!

Can't they see what its come to be?
Preachers drowning in a sea of pity
But when we rise from the cloud of lies
We'll crush the church and take back our lives

Hide behind the cross telling lies of the absurd
How many alter boys are fucked
Before your time is served
How often do you hear of
Some pastor's sudden fall from grace
Crying on T.V. with smeared make up
Running down his face
More and more the evidence is piling up
That organized religion
Is just a den for the corrupt!
Your kingdom come will never cum
Your sense of faith slowly goes numb
Watching you rot from the insides
Patiently waiting your demise

Another Sunday I'm battered and spent
So many things happened that I might regret
A weekly occurrence, what's strange about that?
But it seems like to me there's a pain in my neck

Aches when I turn and when I look up
It feels like my necks been hit by a truck
Ears are still ringing
Brains far from sober
What can I do to stop this bangover?
I rocked too hard and now I'm suffering

I wish this pain could go away
Recalling things
From yesterday
My body spent
That band played fast
I got a case of drunken whiplash

Feels like I stage dove on my head
I think I polished off a keg
Your classic case of bangers neck
A sting I will never forget

Fist in the air
Whirlwind of hair
Thrash music ringing through your ears
These things all pass and here I lay
Not going out for shit today!

Aches when I turn and when I look up
It feels like my necks been hit by a truck
Ears are still ringing
Brains far from sober
What can I do to stop this bangover?
