Last Warning

You know this life is a fight.
Put your fists up.
Valour and self-confidence; These are things you'll need if you're planning to succeed.
Purpose and straight common sense; You don't need to fight, wait until the time is right, coz
You've fallen, you've fallen behind, You've missed your calling and you're losing your mind,
But don't stop searchin', Don't stop lookin', Coz this life's an open book and there's still so much to find.
Life's a battle against time,
You'll never win.
Show some spine and you'll be fine, now.
Take this world on with a grin.
Last warning, You better listen to it,
Coz you know you'll never do it by just wishing your way through it.
Each morning, When you open your eyes,
Take this world as your prize and cut 'em down to size.
The shape you take when the stakes get high dictates your fate, defines you from I,
But the shape you take when the stakes get high can be what makes you break down and scream at the sky.
Life's a battle against time,
You'll never win.
Show some spine and you'll be fine, now.
Take this world on with a grin.
Life's a fight,
Take it on.
Put your fists up.

They Serve Themselves

They turn their backs on us,
They serve themselves.
A badge and a hat won't mask the black in your heart,
You're supposed to uphold justice but just don't play your part.
You should have integrity, you should earn respect,
But the country roll our eyes at those who should protect.
A loved one's missing, you'll presume they're dead
Coz you've got some parking tickets to be handing out instead.
Faced with real issues, you'll always turn your head.
You bother decent people and avoid the real threat.
The serve themselves.
We're the ones they should be there for, we're the ones they swear they care for,
But their word's as good as dirt, they're not worth shit, corruption fills their core.
The biggest cowards on planet Earth,
Flashing blue lights and yellow spines they put their own agenda first,
They serve themselves.
They serve themselves.
Always vigilant, always alert, always fulfil your quota no matter who gets hurt.
Fidelity? Bravery? Integrity? You're kidding me!
They seem to be nothing but cowardly.
They serve themselves.
There is no justice but rough justice.
Sometimes it feels like this whole world is a prison,
They watch your every move until you need them then they're missin'.

Just Step Aside

I don't need your God damn commentary track,
Every chat feels like a Q&A - just stop talkin' smack and get back.
It's a fact you think I've lost control, soul black as coal,
Frustration takes its toll, better know your role or I will attack.
So don't give me your lies just give me your all,
Because your lacking in pride doesn't mean you can't fall.
So don't give me your lies just give me your all,
Because you're lacking in pride doesn't mean you get out alive; no-one survives.
The time has come for you to stop runnin' that mouth,
Coz what goes 'round comes back 'round it's your own crown you should worry about.
So don't worry, I'll take care of me.
Your opinions one of a million that I won't hear and I will not see.
So don't give me your lies just give me your all,
Because your lacking in pride doesn't mean you can't fall.
So don't give me your lies just give me your all,
Because you're lacking in pride doesn't mean you get out alive; no-one survives.
Create divides when truth's denied.
I can't abide what you've implied.
When worlds collide, just step aside.
Ya better watch out.
The students, the teachers,
The believers and the preachers,
The prudent and the leeches,
We don't need your fucking speeches.
Shut your mouth.

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellripper
supported by 6 fans who also own “They Serve Themselves”
Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album.
