캐나다 출신의 스래쉬 메틀 밴드 Annihilator의 97년 작품. 88년 로드러너 산하 레이블인 로드레이서와 계약하고 89년 여름 대망의 공식 데뷔 앨범 [Alice In Hell]을 발표하면서 스트레이트한 스래쉬 메틀 사운드로 세계적인 주목을 이끌었던 이들은 메이저 메틀밴드에 비해서는 지명도와 무게감이 덜하긴 하지만 사운드 액면만으로 놓고 본다면 정상급 밴드임은 분명하다. 멜로디 라인이 더 풍성해졌으며 리듬의 변화와 다양한 사운드는 좀 더 성숙한 음악성을 보여주고 있다.
you nail yourself like Jesus, posing on a cross you're waiting for the savior, you're waiting to get off I seen you in the movies, I've passed you on the street I saw you walk on water or was that make-believe
there is no love anymore
I am hanging helpless here, in front of you a broken toy, a puppet that no one wants to use I try to wake you slowly, loathe the final round
there is no love anymore
I throw myself at the sky, and fall back to the ground I throw myself off the earth and you don't hear a sound trapped in rage, but you won't listen bursting veins, but you won't listen
there are those amongst us ignorant who think that they are not only superior to other races, but are the carriers of a superior morality and culture, these groups are generally composed of discontented people who target others with racist propaganda and acts of violence
we are the children, we are the ones on a mission of god, we are the soldiers, we'll dominate, you'll beg like a dog
mother and father, follow the leader, he shall redeem, take down minority, wipe out the weak, white is supreme
making you suffer, making you feel disgrace shame on your color, shame on your creed and your race
prey on the anger, prey on the fear, everything is justified, bred to hate, we must never forget the goal is genocide
sick fucking racist, you were born to be deceived, command of all your thoughts has got to be relieved, violence, greed, bigotry, your messages are all insane, society wonders what goes on inside your brain
prey on the anger, everything is justified bred to hate, their goal is genocide
that old man's waiting in the snow again, he knows what he knows but it isn't the same, watching insults, launched over his head he's out of the game but he isn't quite dead
the human remains
he fought fear with hope but you'll eventually know, one day you are the man in the snow, and it doesn't matter what fills you with dread the game is a game and life is a thread
tar me, feather me and push me around, punish me and correct me, kick me when I'm down crucify me and stone me, hang me out to die well light the fire and burn me, all because of a lie
all these years you have taken away, you don't wanna listen, don't care what I say, you're making a mistake
ashes to ashes, dust to dust, I'm tired of doing the time I shall return, then you will learn, vengeance will be mine
try me, judge me and put me to your test, use me and abuse me, come on and do your best, gas me, shoot me, destroy me if you can slice me up and dice me, then bury me in the sand
all these years you have taken away, you don't wanna listen, don't care what I say, you're making a big mistake
ashes to ashes, dust to dust, I'm tired of doing (your) time I shall return, then you will learn, vengeance will be mine
connect me, fry me, electricity, well off with the head then hold it up for all to see, boil me and screw me, stretch me open wide injecting the poison, cook me from inside
all these years you have taken away, you don't wanna listen, don't care what I say, you're making a very big mistake
ashes to ashes, dust to dust, I'm tired of doing (your) time I shall return, then you will learn vengeance will be mine
I'm walking in the darkness, I'm trying to unwind just the kind of peace, I need to soothe my mind I'm tired of all the noise, tired of all the pain escape in the night, just to face another day
I'm talking to the wind
I can feel the calm, the pressure starts to go and I can feel the life, it now begins to flow there's something round the corner, there's something in the air a cool, cool chill but I really don't care
I'm talking to the wind
showers, under moonlight, try to rain on the parade don't fight the feelings, try to drain them out wash them away and they'll end without a doubt
I'm talking to the wind
nothing's going to stop me cause I'm heading for the sky release the tension, it's good to be alive don't try to mimic me, don't try to bring me down cause I've found a way to soar above the clouds
hey you, I need a friend, I hope you feel the same, this life is sucking me dry, how do you deal with the pain step closer, my friend, come and hear my pitch, I understand, just how do you feel, well ain't life a bitch

can you feel the madness, racing through the brain, psychedelic to the core, tell me, are we not insane I try to make you fail, I'll put you to the test, there's one thing, you should never forget, is that life never rests
I'm on top of the world and I will never fall I can and will deceive you and trick you all, manipulation, well I ruin just for fun there's no time for hesitation, it's time, time to get the job done

I steal from the innocent by throwing dust in their eyes so many stupid people, eating up my lies
well I get just what I want, because I rule the land, I am invincible, you better understand
chorus repeat
the walls of the castle come a crumbling down, well I thought you were the king of the world just a selfish, sickening maniac, so long, say good-bye to the world, you're gonna get what you deserve
well I get just what I want because I rule the land, I am invincible, you better understand

accidental intake, down the throat, the chances of survival, can be remote extreme reaction, I got to medicate, must inject the poison, I hope that I'm not late
push plunger all the way, pray to live another day feel the rush through the veins, got to, got to uninvite the pain
panic setting in, the waiting has begun, frustration, the damage has been done it's getting hard to breathe, the swelling is intense, the last shot, it's the end of my defense
push plunger all the way, pray to live another day feel the rush through the veins, got to, got to uninvite the pain, pain
