WHIPLASH LYRICS
Power And Pain (1985)
1. Stagedive
Get on the go over and done plotting the plan of attack
It\'s time to fly over the stage high above each Marshall stack
Passing the guard making the move scale the P.A. to the top
End the first verse past the bass bins not fearing the 30 foot drop
Thrash to kill blood will spill
Now that you\'ve met your match and nothing will suffice
Airborn offering thrashing sacrifice
Stealing the show eyes of the crowd focus of activity
Forty feet high moment of fame going down in history
Begin the flight splitting the smoke a swan dive into the sky
Tumbling down head over heels listening to cracking bones cry
2. Red Bomb
Night falls and she\'s out there walking the street
Hiding sking to dog the blue coats on the beat
The heat is on her tail tonight like never before
Down on twenty seventh street where she breaks the law
She bares her body to entice
Another john to pay the price
She earns her living on her back
Her legs spread wide apart forevermore
Moonlight\'s staring down at red bomb from above
Tonight there will be no sex there\'ll be no lust
Never doubt at any time she\'s worth the fee
If you lay your money down then you\'ll agree
Once she\'s in your sight long legs and red hair strike your appetite
Time that you lock eyes with the red bomb try her on for size
You\'ll do what you want, take what you will cause she\'s no cheap thrill
Hand over your cash for the right price she\'ll give you the gash
3. Last Man Alive
Take a look to the sky for your pot of gold
You can hear every cloud story to be told
Listen close what is this
Not bird or plane
Could it be the H bomb fucking with your brain
Even if you\'d seen it you never would believe it
Even in your sleep you would never dream it
The bomb is falling fast nothing\'s going to stop it
How will you know that you\'re the last man alive
All it takes just one touch over one, two, three
With a flick of a switch turn on World War 3
With a flash there will be no one left alive
Search the earth just to find worldwide homicide
Metal mass cuts the wind whistling through its course
Suddenly crashing down hits the ground full force
Aims to kill one and all bursting into flames
Only you\'re left alive no one left to blame
4. Message In Blood
Black act of injustice brought by the wizard of evil
Cast death and corruption who left the message in blood?
Death reign cleanse the earth it\'s the ageless night
The world\'s end is near wrong outnumbers right
What\'s left helter skelter look read between the lines
Can you find a meaning to these sinister crimes?
5. Warmonger
Lurking in the astral skies lust, power, greed, hate
Leader of the fighting force face of black fate
2100 A.D. at this man\'s will
Powerthrashing death brigade regroups to kill
Can\'t just ignore what\'s right bow to the powerlord
Warmonger
Bombs are falling from above death metal storm
Dogfight of the modern day starwars take form
Starships shooting in and out amazing grace
To each man a battlestar chasing through space
Obeying every order heard brainwashed by their leader\'s word
Kamikaze warriors aim for the sun
Taking off for outer space four, three, two, one
Retrorockets activate lifting the craft
Final sound the fighters hear warmonger laugh
All the troops have died at war bow to the powerlord
Warmonger
6. Power Thrashing Death
Inject it into the blood directly into the vein
Metal assault on the ear feeling it flow to the brain
It can get under the skin the power metal syringe
It puts an end to all pain another headbanger singed
Breathe the metal in the air feel power everywhere
Taste, here\'s a double dose to take a fix of power thrashing death
Scream at the top of your lungs it\'s time to let yourself go
There is no lesson to learn get up, get into the show
The power to satisfy those who react to high speed
There is no secret to hide metal is all that you need
7. Stirring The Cauldron
The moon is full one dark evil night
A blood curdling chill perilous fight
The fog is thick the clouds set in
A twist of fate a night of sin
The howl of the wolf a dark evil power
Creeps down your spine it\'s the witching hour
The minute you fall to the hands of the flame
Evil will take its course, it\'s all over
The wicked witch\'s mission is through
Once the bubbling brew has tasted you
The eye of newt and fang of bat
A pinch of this a pinch of that
An odor lurks from burning skin
The spice of life the cauldron will win
The chanting is done devour your stew
Just don\'t turn your eyes or it\'ll devour you
8. Spit On Your Grave
Ruthless and evil lies that deceive
Meaningless virtues knee deep in greed
I am the master with the iron fist
I am the master no one knows exists
I am the master I\'ll take your life
I am the master I\'ll spit on your grave
Taking advantage guilty as sin
And into the cauldron where no one can win
Thrown down and stepped on and knifed in the back
Civilization is under attack
9. Nailed To The Cross
With an evil life comes an evil fate
Only a question of time to open the gate
It\'s a fact that you\'re going to die
By tomorrow you\'ll be crucified
Nailed on, nailed to the cross
Nailed on, nailed to the cross
You stand erect no life left
Your soul\'s been robbed lucifer\'s theft
Consciousness loneliness at the top
Must confess but it\'s too late for them to stop
A frowning face falls from out of the sky
Spitting blood head of a demon from hell
And you\'re left without a soul to sell
Double cross, eternity in hell
Nailed on, nailed to the cross
Nailed on, nailed to the
You know that you\'re dead when you\'re nailed to the cross...
WHIPLASH LYRICS
Ticket To Mayhem (1987)
1. Perpetual Warfare
[Intro]
2. Walk The Plank
[Lyrics: Tony Portaro/Joe Cangelosi, Music: Tony Portaro]
Ship has set sail, sea will prevail
Swallow the slaughter, drink the salt water
Pawn of the power, sea will devour
Infinite day, awaiting the hour
[Chorus:]
Walk the plank
Walk the plank
Trid ball and chain, infliction of pain
Vulture\'s arise, death in their eyes
Under the gun, food supply none
Knife in the back, nowhere to run
[Repeat chorus]
[Post-chorus:]
All hope is lost been double crossed
Legion of death steal your last breath
The trechery of muting, lightning and thunder
Make the mind wander
Water\'s infected, captain\'s arrested
Sharks in the water, body\'s injected
[Repeat chorus]
[Repeat post-chorus]
3. Last Nail In The Coffin
[Lyrics: Tony Portaro, Music: Tony Portaro/Tony Bono]
Without one breath of life from the coffin\'
The body begins to arise
It\'s rotted skin smelling of death
A hand of bones creeps from inside
Emerging with two glowing eyes
These eyes are forever hypnotizing
Burning your very soul
Passionate, painless, paralyzing
They\'re gonna turn your blood cold
These eyes will forever hypnotize you
They\'ll turn around and they\'ll blind you
Evil inside those eyes
4. Drowning In Torment
[Lyrics: Tony Portaro/Joe Cangelosi, Music: Tony Portaro]
What is seen
Through the eyes of the crippled mind
No wasted time
No wasted line
Unforseen death What a seen
When the terror of the mind
Is craving evil lines
Confusion time
One step closer to...
Lust decides your fate
So the seeds will grow
Snow will dominate
Life is left to blow
Living dream, illusion being
Strength evolves from stimulation
The minds railng
Another gram is blown, eyes gleam
Numbness felt through the veins
Surging
The nose burning
Never learning
One step closer to...
Hell inside the soul
Melts into the brain
Life is uncontrolled
Victim of cocaine
Dream your life, life\'s a dream
Another line, a deadly scheme
You will pay
Through the nose
An evil plot to get the blow
You will see, you are left
With nothing more, you bargained for
The money\'s gone, left in despair
You coming down, what you can\'t bear
Hell inside the soul melts into the brain
Life is uncontrolled, victim of cocaine
Conscious will never recover
Temptations taking control
Body\'s rejecting the substance
School of the wasted enrolled
Evil prevails to take over
Something like driving while blind
Reality must take cover
Left with a scar on the mind
5. The Burning Of Atlanta
The craving to ignite, reflects a glowing light
The fire in his eyes is ibearing no disguise
Armed with an evil grin, that sparks the flame within
The pyromaniac will burn this town, ignoring all costs
[Chorus:]
Atlanta is burning down
Atlanta is burning down
Atlanta is burning down
Atlanta is burning down
Thousands will die
And there\'s no telling why
In his psychotic mind, his twisted thoughts unmind
No motive to this deed, he\'s of an evil breed
A killer to his grave, now who could ever save
The striker meets the match, the flames begin to catch
And he\'s gone
[Repeat chorus]
The culprit of the crime will not escape this time
Cause what he left behind, would be the proof they\'d find
A tank of gasoline was proof...the guillotine
[Repeat chorus]
6. Eternal Eyes (Last Nail In The Coffin, Part II)
[Lyrics: Tony Portaro, Music: Tony Portaro/Tony Bono]
A bomb explodes in your head, it\'s one of those days
You should have stayed in bed, something\'s gone wrong
Nothing\'s gone right, eternal eyes will take you alive
It\'s a fact of life, it\'s a fact of death – eternal eyes
Are you dead or alive, can\'t get them out of your face
Can\'t get them out of your mind, you\'ll never escape
With two feet in your grave
7. Snake Pit
Judgement day\'s here, smell of death\'s near
Captor\'s ignoring the cries
Tragedy\'s stand, trouble at hand
Death jury plots the demise
Hungry to kill
Torture at will
Anxiously waiting the word
Sentence to cast
Won\'t be the last
Laugh when the verdict is heard
Last straw
Through with the final injunction
Case closed
No one will ever get free
[Chorus:]
Snake pit
Snake pit
Snake pit
Guilty of sin, no one will win
Death jurers plot till the death
Justice at large, make up a change
Waiting to stear your last breath
Gaffle will fall, order from all
Silence overcomes the court
Don\'t say a word
Sentence is heard
Might make the vision distort
[Repeat chorus]
[Lead]
[Chorus]
[1st verse]
[Chorus]
8. Spiral Of Violence
One man with our lives in his hands
So much power
And so much pressure – is waiting on his command
Brainstorm
From out of the norm, a winning battle plan
And it\'s out of our hands
So the regiments form
[Chorus:]
The angel of war
Unleashing terror
Who\'ll throw the first crushing blow
Who will decide who has the last laugh
Who will throw the last blow
One of a kind
Who\'s out of his mind
He who thinks he holds all the answers
Can destroy all mankind
[Repeat chorus]
Wareny
Heard cut through the sky
Flip of a coin turns heads you will live
Lands on tails you will die
Napalm
A nuclear bomb
A flamethrower and a hand grenade
And I\'m back in Viet Nam
[Repeat chorus]
9. Respect The Dead
Ones your souls at rest
That\'s when you\'ll cofess
Cut you down to size
Make you realize
That you not so tough
Say you\'ve had enough
What it takes to learn
On the cross you\'ll burn
You must respect the dead
That\'s where your future lies
You must respect the dead
Or they\'ll rip out your eyes
When you in your tomb
You will meet with doom
Cause you\'ve cursed the dead
Better left unsaid
You\'ll regret the days
That you\'ve spit on graves
Now your time has come
You immortal scum
[Repeat chorus]
[Lead]
[1st verse]
[chorus]
10. Perpetual Warfare
[Outro]
