Bare
Anthrax

Standing on some dotted line
Reacting to the hands of time
A circumstance that I¹ve been fed
Leaving questions in my head

Find the space that was left bare
An empty space I¹d gladly share

One must live while one must die

Combined paired up for so many years
Unsure if I really want to shed a tear
Signing off is always so clearly done
A number 2 is now reduced to one

Find the space that was left bare
An empty space I¹d gladly share

When your clock is up
And you rest for good
I will cut off my armpiece
Just like we agreed we would

One must live while one must die

While the other argues that
The world ain¹t fair
But then who ever promised
Anybody equal share
You might as well forget
What you gambled on
'Cause plans never go by the way they're drawn

When your clock is up
And you rest for good
I will cut off my armpiece
Just like we agreed we would

One must live while one must die

I can¹t say goodbye
It¹s all I can do to get up every morning
And when all else fails I try
To face myself and everything else
But mostly I wonder why

Be All, End All
Anthrax

Yes, no, yes, no
Not, another word
You'll know what to do
Right!
In your face they see it
In their face you...
Take it
Make up their minds
Aggression turns the screws
Fight!
Take your piece and hold it
Make your piece and...
Stand up, you know what it means
Wake up, time to live your dreams

Down by,
Law and they can't hold you
Dictate and control you
Hold onto your ideas
Down by,
Law and no one owns you
And all the shit they've thrown you
Pay back is a real bitch

Nothing's ever easy when you do it yourself
All you can do is try
Life's not unfair, life's just life
Death not suicide

Be all, and you'll be the end all
Life can be a real ball
State of mind
Euphoria

Think,
On your feet, and stay one step ahead
Break
Take your brain and use it
Take their mind and...
Change,
An attitude, like you'd change your shorts
Right!
In your face thay see it
In their face you...
Stand up, you know what it means
Wake up, time to live your dreams

Down by,
Law and they can't hold you
Dictate and control you
Hold onto your ideas

Down by,
Law and no one owns you
And all the shit they've thrown you
Pay back is a real bitch

Nothing's ever easy when you do it yourself
All you can do is try
Life's not unfair, life's just life
Death not suicide

Be all, and you'll be the end all
Life can be a real ball
State of mind
Euphoria

Always taking, always faking
Ignorance is so frustrating
Always taking, always faking
Ignorance is,
No way, no way, no way, no way out!

Belly Of The Beast
Anthrax

You walk this earth without a heart
You tear the innocent's souls apart
You shovel your conscience into the grave
You walk this earth without a heart
Your uniform couldn't be taken off
A tattoo burned into your flesh
Your mind, your voice
These are your instruments of death
How could you dare to be so bold
You only did as you were told
Marionettes dancing in time
To the apologetic lines
For all the monsters of our time

Who is evil, who is blind?
In the name of who you'll find,
A city of souls dying for peace
Welcome to the belly of the beast
One mind, one voice
Welcome to the belly of the beast
Who hears, your voice?

Millions, never, never again
Madness, never, never again
Martyrs, dead that can't die
Monsters

Insanity, the normal state
The left hand a hammer, the right the stake
Driven so deep into the heart
It's killing love, it's killing faith
It's killing 'cause it's from the heart
What better way to demoralize
When your own children are your spies
The things you trust are not the same
Trust in grief, trust in death
Trust in hope is trust in pain

Who is evil, who is blind?
In the name of who you'll find,
You're not supposed to question faith
But how do you accept this fate?

Millions, you walk this earth without a heart
Madness, tear the innocent's souls apart
Martyrs, shovel your conscience into the grave
Monsters

Big Fat
Anthrax

Looming large like a favorite son
One more time comes my obsession
Like a mountain stream that ends in mud
I'm wading in waiting for the flood, sinking

You did
Left me hating, contemplating
Left me waning, slowly draining
Feet of clay that are stuck to the floor
And with vanity you want more

I'm drinking strength for comic relief
While I'm growing super weak in the knees
You asked me can I deliver
Like a monster crossing the Hudson river, stomping

Big fat kill
Carrying the weight of the world
In my arms

I'm biting my tongue so much it hurts
But at the same time I'm at a loss for words
The things I've seen should've left me blind
So it makes me happy that I'm losing my mind, laughing

You asked me can I deliver
Like a monster crossing the Hudson river
The things I've seen should've left me blind
So it makes me happy that I'm losing my mind


cupajoe

I really need a cup of coffee
Go get me a cupajoe
Cupajoe
Black and strong

Black Dahlia
Anthrax

Hardcase
Fist full of brass
Double barrelled pistons and a tank full of gas
He's a heavyweight
Enforcer inside
Like a man in the chair he's gonna go for a ride
Break him
Take him down
Squeeze him, watch him drown
Against lightning
The wind from his sails
Take on a man who's harder than a coffin nail
Priceless, the look on his face
If you look real close you can see the expiration date
Break him
Take him down
Squeeze him, watch him drown
Black Dahlia's in my head
Ice veined
Thousand yard stare
Breaking a man is like hunting for bear
And I'm loaded
Setting the trap
Tighten the noose
And bust a rat with my sap
Break him
Take him down
Squeeze him, watch him drown
Black Dahlia's in my head
Black Dahlia's in my head
Confession's good for the soul
Black Dahlia's in my head
In this hunt I walk alone

 

[helldanger1]

Black Lodge
Anthrax

Worship the ground you barely walk on
You give of yourself but your angels are gone
Deny your body is screaming
But your heart and your soul they're bleeding
Just to fall asleep is a godsend
Until your demons appear again

I am a witness to your demise

Your biggest secret is one you can't keep
Lift up your head if you're only asleep
You try to hold onto reason
Why can't you see that you're leaving
My love for you knows no distance
But it can't fight your resistance

I am a witness to your demise
I am the one who saw through the lies

Give me,
The one thing you can't give
Take me to
The black lodge where you live

Deny your body is screaming
But your heart and your soul they're bleeding
Just to fall alseep is a godsend
Until your demons appear again

I am a witness to your demise
I am the one who saw through the lies
My love has always been blind

Blackout
Anthrax

I realize I missed a day
But I'm too wrecked to care anyway
I look around and see this face
What the hell have I lost my taste
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out

My head explodes, my ears ring
I can't remember just where I've been
The last thing that I recall
I got lost in a deep black hole
Don't want to find out
Just want to cut out

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Blackout
I really had a blackout

I grab my things and make my run
On the way out, another one
Would like to know before I stop
Did I make it or did I flop
Don't want to find out
Just want to get out

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Blackout
I really had a blackout

Don't want to find out
Just want to get out

Blackout
I really had a blackout!

Bordello Of Blood
Anthrax

I speed to beat the sunrise....
Weigh a million on the road to sanity
My heart my soul my love it's taunt
And I question each turn that I make in my mind
If I could be any other

Please!
I'd trade make the devil my lover
Pullin' my eyes
Burn my eyes
And I'm gone... I make my move strong

I break and then I take it to the whore and you say
All the eccles in the world be mine 'cause it's got me,
It's got me, I can hear 'em laughing as a big scar marks me
On my own, On my own, On my own
I gotta go, I gotta go, go home!!

Nowhere is my home
I've given blood for years
Where has it got me?
Dead stop on the road to sanity
I've seen that best that life has

Rock bottom works for me like a
44 caliber dose of reality

It's got me, it's got me
I can hear 'em laughing as a big scar marks me
On my own, On my own, On my own
I gotta Go, I gotta go, go home!!

Nowhere is my home
I've given blood for years
Where has it got me?
I just got to go home!! Nowhere is my home
I've given blood for years where has it got me?
Not a damn thing

So I cry
Checking the pulse to see if i might breath
Finding out if death is my date
State of limbo
Checking the pulse to find it's too late
Knowing now that death is my fate
State of limbo

I'm home!!!! Go home!!
Nowhere is my home
I've given blood for years
Where has it got me?
I just got to
Go home
Nowhere is my home
I've given blood for years
Where has it got me?

Born Again Idiot
Anthrax

Why do I explain myself when everyone's
An idiot but me
I think some people need
Killing for stupidity and I'll be born again

Kicking and screaming
And dragged back into a life
Like Ten pounds in a nine pound bag
Still I come back to give you something
That you never had.

Idiot rules
I never fight I only win
And I don't make em
I never bend I only break them

Finish my smoke, down my drink, wipe my mouth
And I just walk away

What's the chance of finding something
Real and make it last
For that I'd carry all my bags and leave
Them in the past
Because I spend my life fixing mistakes
That left me scarred
And when I stand and meet my maker
I'll be born again hard

Don't judge me by my sins

Bring Noise
Anthrax

Bass!
How low can you go?
Death row, what a brother knows
Once again back is the incredible
The rhyme animal
The incredible d, public enemy, number one
Five-o said, freeze! and I got numb
Can I tell 'em that I really never had a gun
But it's the wax that the terminator x spun
Now they got me in a cell 'cause my records, they sell
Cause a brother like me said, well...
...farrakahn's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to
What he can say to you, what you ought to do
Follow for now, power of the people, say,
Make a miracle, d, pump the lyrical
Black is back, all in, we're gonna win
Check it out, yeah y'all c'mon, here we go again

Turn it up! bring the noise

Never badder than bad 'cause the brother is madder than mad
At the fact that's corrupt as a senator
Soul on a roll, but you treat it like soap on a rope
Cause the beats in the lines are so dope
Listen for lessons I'm saying inside music
That the critics are blasting me for
They'll never care for the brothers and sisters now across
The country has us up for the war
We got to demonstrate, come on now, they're gonna have to wait,
'till we get it right
Radio stations I question their blackness
They call themselves black, but we'll see if they'll play this

Turn it up, bring the noise

Get from in front of me, the crowd runs to me
My deejay is warm, he's x, I call him norm ya know
He can cut a record from side to side
So what, the ride, the glide should be much safer than a suicide
Soul control, beat is the father of your rock 'n' roll
Music for whatcha, for whichin', you call a band man
Makin' a music, abuse it, but you can't do it, ya know
You call'em demos, but we ride limos too
Whatcha gonna do? rap is not afraid of you
Beat is for sonny bono, beat is for yoko ono
Run-dmc first said a deejay could be a band
Stand on it's own feet, get you out your seat
Beat is for eric b and l. l. as well, hell
Wax is for anthrax, still I can rock bells ever
Forever, universal it will sell
Time for me to exit, terminator x-it

Turn it up, bring the noise

From coast to coast, so you stop being like a comatose
Stand my man? the beat's the same with a boost-toast
Rock with some pizzazz, it will last, why you ask?
Roll with the rock stars, you'll never get accepted as
We got to plead the fifth, we can investigate
Don't need to wait, get the record straight
Hey, posse's in effect, got flavor, terminator
X to sign checks, play to get paid
We got to check it out down on the avenue
A magazine or two is dissing me and dissing you
Yeah, I'm telling you...

toma la outra Zé

Burnin' Up
Anthrax

You stitch me up good, and you cut me down
So I string you up to keep you hanging around
You dish the hot stuff up but you keep me waiting
So I'll play it dirty 'til your body is breaking
We've got to make love, the time is right
We've got to make love tonight
'Cause we're burnin' up

You make me greedy, you won't feed me my food
But I'll make out easy, 'cause I see straight through you
You cool me off and hot me up and that's not right
'Cause you'll get hungry in the heat of the night

And then we'll make love, just when it's right
And when we make love tonight
We'll be burnin' up

I know you feel the same
I know you feel the flame
Staring deep inside of you
Burnin' you up, breaking you down
Breakin' you out in a cold sweat
And as you lose control, of your very soul
Your desire takes over
You'll feel the heat sway
You're round to my way
And suddenly you'll know that you're burnin' up

You stitch me up good, and you cut me down
So I string you up to keep you hanging around
You dish the hot stuff up but you keep me waiting
So I'll play it dirty 'til your body is breaking

We've got to make love, the time is right
We've got to make love tonight
'Cause we're burnin' up
We're burnin' up

Burst
Anthrax

How much does an opinion weigh
Does it really matter what I say
I can't be responsible
Be yourself or be a tool

Who cares what you expect
What is politically correct?
All my ideas are in bad taste
Get off my case and...

Judge yourself
No one else

I don't intend to offend
I just offend with my intent
Beauty's in the beholder's eye
I just like the ugly side

See things the way I do
Walk a mile in my shoes
Don't assume and damn it, don't praise me
My thoughts would drive you crazy
See things the way I do
Walk a mile in my shoes
Don't assume and damn it, don't praise me
My thoughts would drive you crazy

Kill someone, save a life
Don't do drugs, drink all night
Worship Jesus, praise Satan
Opinions are all contradiction

It's not a case of wrong and right
You may hate what I may like
Vice wersa, it's the same
Just do it, no pain no gain

C11H17N2O2SNA (Sodium Pentathol)
Anthrax

If one day you'd backed up a promise you made
We'd have to make it a holiday
'Cause we both know that day would never come again
If one day your word was as good as gold
It'd be too late cos I'd be too old
I don't think a human being could live that long

I never gave a damn
I was never even a fan
The only thing that makes me smile if your pain
I don't even care
When did you treat anyone fair?
To say I'm not enjoying this would be insane

Sodium Pentathol was an idea I had
But what does the truth mean now
To all the lost souls you've grabbed

A mass delusion, there's no confusion
Just a hypocrite
Who'd never cop to it

You're in total control and you're still a liar
I can't drink from the cup
I question your authority
You gotta 'fess up
You're in total control and your faith is tired
I can't drink from the cup
Where is truth in the trinity
You gotta 'fess up

If the affects you it's hard to tell
You spent too many cold days in your cell
Never been one to admit that something, might be wrong

I never gave a damn
I was never even a fan
The only thing that makes me smile is your pain
If I ever had the chance
I'd kick out your chair just to watch you dance
Irrelevant, your vanity prevents change

Sodium Pentathol still sounds great to me
An imitation of life buried in theology

Cop to it
You're in total control and you're still a liar
You're in total control and your faith is still
I can't drink from the cup
'Fess up

Cadillac Rock Box
Anthrax

It feels good to be here
Ass bet broke and I don't care
Yeah, so good to be clear
I can testify
Listen
I cant fake and attraction to it
Magnetic, it pulls so hard
When two powerful forces collide and break down
Inside and break out at the speed of sound
Locked and loaded I can't hold it

Pick'em up, set'em up, watch it all go down
Oh yeah
Driving in my Cadillac rock box

I am so alive, I learned how to let it go
And on the day that I die I'll have no fear
Listen
I cant fake and attraction to it
Magnetic, it pulls so hard
When two powerful forces collide and break down
Inside and break out at the speed of sound
Locked and loaded I can't hold it

Pick'em up, set'em up, watch it all go down
Oh yeah
Driving in my Cadillac rock box
Stick'em up, get'em up, drop it and throw down
Oh yeah
Hangin' in my Cadillac rock box

Pick'em up, set'em up, watch it all go down
Oh yeah
Driving in my Cadillac rock box
Fill'em up, shoot'em, sit before you fall down
Oh yeah
Bury me in my Cadillac rock box

Catharsis
Anthrax

All these years I've been the hard man
All these years it's been so hard man
To live my life for someone else
In fear of being honest with myself
I perpetrated a lie
Juggling my life with one hand tied behind my back
Trying to find, and it had always been mine

I'm in, I'm out
I'm breaking though the darkness

And it knocked me over
Into the light of an older soul, and I'll never die
Cause everything I am is in your eyes

Angels in my heart, devils in my eyes
I'll live forever in your eyes

Crucify my inhibitions

The first born son he died for my sins
Nothing to worry about
And all these years I was the hard man
I always knew I'd find myself and prove
Because you told me the truth, it's all I wanted from you

My catharic dream, a primal scream
shedding my skin
somewhere between light and dark
I balance what I am
And I remember everything we said we'd ding a way
Laugh and cry, love and hate
Ain't no weak link this bond won't break
I put it out there it comes back

 

[helldanger1]

Caught In A Mosh
Anthrax

Why don't you listen to me when I try to talk to you
Stop thinking of yourself, for just a second fool
Shut up, shut up, I don't wanna hear your mouth
Your mather made a monster, now get the hell out of my house

[BRIDGE:]
Can't stand it for another day
I ain't gonna live my life this way
Cold sweat, my fists are clenching
Stomp, stomp, stomp, the idiot convention

[PRE-CHORUS:]
Which one of these words don't you understand ?
Talking to you, is like clapping with one hand

[CHORUS:]
What is it ? - Caught in a mosh
What is it ? - Caught in a mosh
What is it ? - Caught in a mosh
What is it ? - Caught in a mosh

Don't tell me how to do my job
There's the door, your name's on the knob
You're always in the way, like a beast on my back
Were you dropped as a baby, cause brains you lack

[REPEAT BRIDGE]
[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]
[REPEAT CHORUS]

[MOSH PART]
Think - before you speak
Or suffer, for your words
Learn, to give respect
that others, give to you
AAAAAAAAAAAH, The best you can do

[LEAD BREAK]
[HARMONY LEAD]

Hey Man
I'm trying to reason but you don't understand
Talking in circles, we'll never get it straight
Just you and me in our theatre of hate

[REPEAT BRIDGE]
[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]
[REPEAT CHORUS]

Celebrated Summer
Anthrax

Originally by hsker d.
Love and hate was in the air, like pollen from a flower
Somewhere in april time, they add another hour
I guess i'd better think up a way to spend my time
Just when i'm ready to sit inside, it's summer time
Should i go fishing or get a friend to hang around
It's back to summer, back to basics, hang around
Getting drunk out on the beach, or playing in a band
And getting out of school meant getting out of hand
Was this your celebrated summer? was that your celebrated summer?
Then the sun disintegrates between a wall of clouds
I summer where i winter at, and no one is allowed there
Do you remember when the first snowfall fell
When summer barely had a snowball's chance in hell?

Cowboy Song
Anthrax

Originally by thin lizzy.
(lynott, downey)
I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail
A starry night, a campfire light
The coyote call, the howling winds wail
So i ride out to the old sundown
I am just a cowboy lonesome on the trail
Lord, i'm just thinking about a certain female
The nights we spent together riding on the range
Looking back it seems so strange
Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinning 'till i hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go
Running free with the buffalo
I was took in texas, i did not know her name
Lord, all these southern girls seem the same
Down below the border in a town in mexico
I got my job busting broncs for the rodeo
Roll me over and turn me around
Let me keep spinning 'till i hit the ground
Roll me over and let me go
Riding in the rodeo
Roll me over and set me free
The cowboy's life is the life for me

 

[helldanger1]

Crash
Anthrax

Hello world,
Thought i knew you well,
Hello world,
Always hard to tell,
When you're gonna take me there again,
There you're gonna watch until the end.

Crawl
Anthrax

Sometimes I forget to see
Now that I've found you
What is, and what will never be
Now that I've found you
When my time has gone away
The words I say
Their lies will help you through
And I fell like it's gonna rain
A real rain
To wash this from you too

So addicted to the pain
And it's the pain that makes you crazy
Your mind is closing in
On a fight that you can't win
It's making me insane

If you crawl, I'll follow, I'll follow
Don't walk away
If you fall, I'll follow
Don't walk away

I think of the things that just got lost
Now that you found me
As if I just had shuffled off
Now that you found me
When my time had gone away
The actions played
They broke your world in two
And I feel like it's gonna rain
A real rain
To wash this from me too

Crawling
What is and what will never be
And it's the pain that makes you crazy
