Kerry King - From Hell I Rise lyrics



Tracks



02. Where I Reign

Broken from all the lies
Mankind's hate intensifies
Blood is my guarantee
It's time to sow the seed

From Hell I will rise
Rain fire from the skies
Let fire set you free
It burns in me
To everywhere I bring despair
Where life is pain
That's where I reign

Religion crucified
Dead and rotting from inside
Faith is your cross to bear
God's children running scared

From Hell I will rise
Rain fire from the skies
Let fire set you free
It burns in me
To everywhere I bring despair
Where life is pain
That's where I reign

God wears a crown of lies
Inconsistency divine
Chaos retaliates
Reborn to devastate

From Hell I will rise
The King of all demise
Let fire set you free
It burns in me
To everywhere I bring despair
Where life is pain
That's where I reign
That's where I reign

03. Residue

Your deranged, insane, tirade will incite
Flash flood of blood feeds the parasite
Words sting, hate clings just like residue
I know tenfold it comes back to you

I'm in mental retrograde
So now it's my crusade

Your blood horde screams war unrest reignites
Pulsates, gestates raise the Fahrenheit
Blood-stained campaign sticks like residue
I know tenfold it comes back to you

I'm in mental retrograde
So now it's my crusade

Rise from the chaos, time to strike
Calculated, perpetrated
I need intensity to spike
Dominating, liberating
'Cause this is anarchy

I relied on this outdated system
I defied, I won't become a victim
I can't find where liberty goes to die

You dethroned, disowned, outcast derelict
Cold sweat, false threats, nothing comes of it
Idolized, your lies stick like residue
I know tenfold it comes fuckin' back to you

I'm in mental retrograde
So now it's my crusade

Rise from the chaos, time to strike
Calculated, perpetrated
I need intensity to spike
Dominating, liberating
'Cause this is anarchy

I can't find where liberty goes to die
I can't find where our liberty goes to die

04. Idle Hands

So begins my revolution
Violence spreads my retribution
Integrate, retaliate
I can’t believe what I see
With my own eyes!
Can’t dissect the truth from all the lies
Ideology is at the core

Deceiver or believer
Your faith I don’t need anymore

Where do I get in line?
To question all divine
So many rules to bend
Till the end idle hands
Do the Devil’s work

Hatred is my ammunition
Amplified by my ambition
Here I stand in pure defiance
Fighting back your God reliance dies!
Deviance is always on the rise
Welcoming the harbinger of war

Deceiver or believer
Your faith I don’t need anymore

Where do I get in line?
To question all divine
So many rules to bend
Till the end idle hands
Do the Devil’s work

[Lead-Demmel]

Testify that all God’s hatred
Satisfies that nothing’s sacred
Anarchy or blasphemy
Devour christianity

Once more
Your faith I don’t need anymore

Where do I get in line?
To question all divine
So many rules to bend
Till the end idle hands
Do the Devil’s work

[Lead-King]

05. Trophies Of The Tyrant

Greed spreads the new hate
And will perpetuate
Oppression and discrimination
Invasion by the hostile
So fucking infantile
Impotence needs validation

Scorched earth silhouettes
Ash like cigarettes
The dead impaled and crucified
Trophies of the tyrant
The war intensifies

Fear life underground
Living without a sound
Injustice is the new religion
One man to despise
The one with all the lies
Propaganda and division

Scorched earth silhouettes
Ash like cigarettes
The dead impaled and crucified
Trophies of the tyrant
The war intensifies

Explode, reload
Fighting without a code
Disciples of the new aggressor
Displaced innocent
The victims of dissent
Eliminated by the oppressor

Scorched earth silhouettes
Ash like cigarettes
The dead impaled and crucified
Trophies of the tyrant
The war intensifies

06. Crucifixation

I know why God has never won
Because I'm the fuckin' smoking gun
It's time to break out of the cage
In a rage
Like a vice I've taken hold
And I'm never gonna let go
Let's get together coincide
Unified

Centuries of gore
Genocide and war
Born to criticize
Hatred and lies
Violence is the way
Chaos on display
Souls forever sold
Uncontrolled

Ignore the world's complacency
It's a bottleneck of idiocy
Unto religion bring the war
Evermore
Instead of unity, divide
Destroy the enemy from inside
Inject the venom in the vein
Feel the pain

Centuries of gore
Genocide and war
Born to criticize
Hatred and lies
Violence is the way
Chaos on display
Souls forever sold
Uncontrolled

Victimize
Improvise
Devastation
Crucifixation
To hypnotize
And neutralize
All creation
Crucifixation

I know why God has never won
Because I'm the fuckin' smoking gun
Give me a reason to engage
In a rage
My rampage

Centuries of gore
Genocide and war
Born to criticize
Hatred and lies
Violence is the way
Chaos on display
Souls forever sold
Uncontrolled

Victimize
Improvise
Devastation
Crucifixation
To hypnotize
And brutalize
All creation
Crucifixation

To hypnotize
And neutralize
All creation
Crucifixation

07. Tension

As the pendulum swings
Silently while you scream
There you lie my plaything
Chemistry is everything

Here I fight with my thoughts
In this rage my brain rots
On the edge I still cling
Sanity is everything

Now I drown in your flaws
Ten times past the last straw
Constantly inspiring
Violence is everything

Fueling our dissension
Magnify the tension
Hatred pulses through me
Enemies are necessary

As you feel the time crawl
Mercy has no place at all
Elegant and bleeding
Decadence is everything

Slave to my obsession
Conflict and aggression
Conscience has no meaning
Misery is temporary

Now as I become death
Grasping at your final breath
Fighting as it disappears
Victory is everything

Though I can't forget you
Grief is not my virtue
I'll dream of your screaming
Memories are everything

08. Everything I Hate About You

Let me set the scene
Sadistic fantasy
A vision filled with fury and with spite
Back against the wall
My victory you fall
You'll always be the victim in this fight

I can theorize
A million ways to die
My bloodlust pacifies my rage
I will terminate
I will eradicate
Annihilate, turn the page on everything I hate about you

Everything I hate about you

Nothing you can do
They all abandon you
A sheltered life driven by the swine
Never show remorse
Evil is the source
Wretched is the meaning of divine

I can visualize
A million ways to die
My bloodlust pacifies my rage
I will terminate
I will eradicate
I'll annihilate, turn the page on everything I hate about you

Everything I hate about you

Everything I hate
About you

09. Toxic

Sanity implies
That there's intelligence
All I ever find
Is pure incompetence
Laws are washed away
Society will bleed
Scorned and left to die
And now the mutants feed

Too many people
Spend too much time
Forcing their opinions
On other people's lives

Toxic rhetoric
Toxic government
Toxic politics
Toxic hypocrites

To your face they lie
Unleash and overthrow
Legal rights denied
And fall like dominoes
Hide behind the cloak
To change your way of life
Liberty revoked
A target for all time

Too many people
Spend too much time
Forcing their opinion
On other people's lives

Toxic rhetoric
Toxic government
Toxic politics
Toxic hypocrites

Toxic rhetoric
Toxic government
Toxic politics
Toxic hypocrites

Biased policy
Aborting history
Exploding at the chance
With rabid arrogance

Words now weaponized
With violence criticize
Ignore the majority
And force feed insanity

Unleash hatred's wrath
And social aftermath
Your penance will be due
It's time for my own fucking coup

Too many people
Spend too much time
Forcing their opinion
On other people's lives

Toxic rhetoric
Toxic government
Toxic politics
Toxic hypocrites

10. Two Fists

Boredom is destroying my sobriety
It's suffocating my reality
Another victim of society
Propaganda is the news
But I know the brutal truth

This fuckin' ship's about to sink
I think I need another drink
I only want the right to choose
Which tree I hang my fuckin' noose

There is no compensate
For how the great God hates
It all comes down to this
My will and these two fists

Maybe I seem too paranoid
I'm complicated yet devoid
My sanity is on the edge
Itching to jump off of a ledge

There is no compromise
For how the great God lies
It all comes down to this
My will and these two fists

This whole charade is just a test
I can't negotiate this mess
Mentally empty life decays
Forever spiraling away

Drowning in incompetence
Behold the world's irrelevance
I thought my hatred went away
But now it's fuckin' here to stay
It's fuckin' here to stay
It's fuckin' here to stay

Now put the focus onto war
No fuckin' different than before
The blind will soon begin to see
That propaganda needs to feed

There is no compensate
For how the great God hates
It all comes down to this
My will and these two fists

It's time to fight the war machine
The greatest monster ever seen
I'd sell my soul for just a taste
When all their power's gone to waste

Victimize the innocent
Behold the Armageddonist
I thought my hatred went away
But now it's fuckin' here to stay
It's fuckin' here to stay
It's fuckin' here to stay

My story's coming to an end
And all I've said I will defend
Society has been derailed
Not even good enough to fail

There is no compromise
For how the great God lies
It all comes down to this
My will and these two fists

11. Rage

It starts now
Anticipate the violence
It's going down
Obliterate the silence

Attacking the crowd
Initiates the assault
Baton to the face
Shattered and broken you fall
Alternative facts
For an alternative god
Serenity is heresy
To this false god

Self-destruction
Manipulate the masses
Isolation
Is everybody's madness

So fuckin' loud
And in your face
Incite the crowd
Tear up this place
Ignite the fire
Can't disengage
In crossfire
Can't stop this rage
Can't stop

I'm the one
The one that instigates
Feel the power
As it intoxicates
Rise above
Above divinity
Social war
And it's brutality

Let's start again
Get ready for the violence
Until the end
Obliterate the silence

So fuckin' loud
And in your face
Incite the crowd
Tear up this place
Ignite the fire
Can't disengage
In crossfire
Can't stop this rage

Ignite the fire
Can't disengage
In crossfire
Can't stop this rage
Can't stop

Attacking the crowd
Initiates the assault
Baton to the face
Shattered and broken you fall
Alternative facts
For an alternative god
Serenity is heresy
To this false god
This false god

I'm the one
The one that instigates
Feel the power
As it intoxicates
Rise above
Above divinity
Social war
And its brutality

12. Shrapnel

Down the road I'm told
Certain death is sold
We all must pay the price
I can't
Unsee
The day
My friends died

Limitless human flesh
Scattered for all to see
Thrown away life decays
Stench surrounding me
Climb the walls purely false
Hatred uncontrolled
Irrelevant sentiment
For all that won't go home

I guarantee on death I feed
And my weapons don't care who they kill
Nothing is won until the killing's done
And my blade won't care whose blood is spilled

Silently I grieve
In vengeance I believe
Memories won't suffice
Never
Forget
The day
They all died

I'm insane dealing pain
Taking every soul
Human shield starts to feel
Swinging of control
Suffocate, strangulate
Tightening of the wire
Raining death, final breath
Adrenaline on fire

I guarantee on death I feed
And my weapons don't care who they kill
Nothing is won until the killing's done
And my blade won't care whose blood is spilled

King of war I want more
Addicted to the strife
Politicized, criticized
Killing is my life
Renegade death parade
Blood will quench the dirt
Back on the road that I was told
Forever feed the earth

I guarantee on death I feed
And my weapons don't care who they kill
Nothing is won until the killing's done
And my blade won't care whose blood is spilled

13. From Hell I Rise

Preaching faith is selling lies
Religion's plague just never dies
I've shown before everyone knows
That I'm the one God can't control

Avoid me father for I am sin
I live for the day of your ruin
No hope, no faith, no binding ties
I will reign in God's demise

From Hell
Through fire I will rise
Until blood rains from the skies

I've shown you things you can't ignore
With blind eyes shun the truth with scorn
If angels fell from burning skies
On deaf ears fall their dying cries

Avoid me father for I am sin
I live for the day of your ruin
Your doctrines judge you where you stand
I will deal your final hand

From Hell
Through fire I will rise
Until blood rains down
From Hell I rise
To torch the skies
From Hell
I watch religion die

This world's not without sin
That's why I always win
To torture and entice
To kill and sacrifice

Avoid me father for I am sin
I live for the day of your ruin
No faith, no hope, no binding ties
I will reign in God's demise

From Hell
Through fire I will rise
Until blood rains down
From Hell I rise
To torch the skies
From Hell
I watch religion die
I watch it die

Come watch it with me
