Ice! Explain Body Count...
Body Count is a band I put together
Just to let one of my best friends Ernie C play his guitar
He's always been playing guitar
We all went to Crenshaw High School together
In South Central, Los Angeles; and I had the idea
Let's make a metal band, let's make rock band
Because I had been to Europe
And I noticed that the kids would mosh off of hip-hop
So we put the band together and I used the three bands
That were my favourites at the time to set the tone
We used the impending doom of a group like Black Sabbath
Who pretty much invented metal
The punk sensibility of somebody like Suicidal
Who basically put that gangbanger style
From Venice, California into the game
And the speed and the precision of Slayer
One of my favourite groups and always will be
Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquisition
The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone
Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above
Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away
Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure right now, reign in blood
My sinful glare at nothing holds thoughts of death behind it
Skeletons in my mind commence tearing at my sanity
Vessels in my brain carry death until my birth
Come and die with me forever, share insanity
Do you want to die?
The waves of blood are rushing near, pounding at the walls of lies
Turning off my sanity, reaching back into my mind
Non-rising body from the grave showing new reality
What I am, what I want, I'm only after death
