You've seen life through distorted eyes You know you had to learn The execution of your mind You really had to turn The race is run the book is read The end begins to show The truth is out, the lies are old But you don't want to know
Nobody will ever let you know When you ask the reasons why They just tell you that you're on your own Fill your head all full of lies
The people who have crippled you You want to see them burn The gates of life have closed on you And now there's just no return You're wishing that the hands of doom Could take your mind away And you don't care if you don't see again The light of day
Nobody will ever let you know When you ask the reasons why They just tell you that you're on your own Fill your head all full of lies You bastards
Where can you run to What more can you do No more tomorrow Life is killing you Dreams turn to nightmares Heaven turns to hell Burned out confusion Nothing more to tell, yeah
Everything around you What's it coming to God knows as your dog knows Bog blast all of you Sabbath bloody Sabbath Nothing more to do Living just for dying Dying just for you, yeah
Heavy Metal in particular has a main theme of vengeance upon the wicked. No doubt that is why the industry hated it.
LOL. No. Lots of heavy metal has a theme of murder, violence, and satanism
Works both ways. There are bands like August Burns Red and For Today who have messages against the wicked.
I agree, which is why I took issue with how the guy framed it.
But that being said, bands with messages against the wicked are less known than the bands promoting wickedness.
Probably the second most influential band in Heavy Metal is Judas Priest. Screaming for Vengeance ring a bell?
Hey listen, don't you let them get your mind Fill your brain with orders and that's not right They're playing at a game that draws you closer 'Til you're living in a world that's ruled by fear Always takin' baby out that's OK What they're givin' maybe it's out of phase with me Told you one you're never gonna win the race Same old no tomorrow kicked in the face We are screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is a manacled place Screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is defiled in disgrace Tie a blindfold all around your head Spin you 'round in the torture before the dread And then you're pushed and shoved into every corner Then they lead you out into the final slaughter As the sweat is runnin' down your neck All your praying for's to stop your body breakin' up Oh, your heart is pumpin', gonna soon explode Got to fight the horror of this mental load We are screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is a manacled place Screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is defiled in disgrace So you wait it out and bide your time Rip off that straight jacket gotta break that line Everyone who wins in the great escape Leaves a thousand more who suffer in their wake I don't talk about it but that's alright Table's turned now there's a revenge in sight If it takes forever babe I tell ya I can wait Send them screaming back through their hell's own gate We are screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is a manacled place Screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is defiled in disgrace Screaming Screaming vengeance Screaming vengeance Screaming
