let me out of here
take the lid off this box
My flesh it doth rot, i m alive but dead
My body is cold but my heart beat goes on, blood on my hands
i promise the rise of my body this night
My flesh it doth rot, as they lower me down into that hole in the ground, take heed of my plea
Take the lid off this box, i fear at the lid Venom, i promise the rise of my body this night
I promise the rise of my body this night, as they lower me down into that hole in the ground
I m gonna be free, my mind thinks of all the things i have done
answer my call
Baphomets call, my body is cold but my heart beat goes on
Blood on my hands, my flesh it doth rot, i m gonna be free
My bones are decayed, i fear at the lid Buried, as they lower me down into that hole in the ground
Blood on my hands, my bones are decayed, my bones are decayed
Is this happening to me or is it just a dream, take the lid off this box
blood on my hands
I promise the rise of my body this night, as friend gather round and mourners they weep
take heed of my plea
take heed of my plea
Take the lid off this box, i m alive but dead
Take heed of my plea, as they lower me down into that hole in the ground
So simple and so effective, just brilliant. I remember reading about them the first time, and this album, something properly 'underground' and when I got it and listened to it I was so fuckin impressed. Timeless, will continue to inspire metal forever.
We are brought forth unto this world with nothing,
And with nothing we depart.
So I commend this body to the ground,
With loving remembrance.
Earth to Earth.
Ashes to Ashes.
Dust to Dust...
From the Earth to the Hell.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, from the very depths of Hell, Venom!!!".
0:44 to 1:29 is fucking beautiful.. if you can hear it then
you will understand its genius.
This album was way ahead of its time in 1981, & it is just one of the few
NWOBHM albums I take seriously.
"I'm alive but dead, awake but asleep
As friends gather around and mourners they weep
My mind thinks of all the things I have done
My body is cold but my heart beat goes on
And on... and on"
..Baphomet calls as he gives birth to his mother and father.
This song brings the horror out of me I blast on the nyc subways in my ears people think I am crazy but hey I love venom, greetings from Bedford Stuyvesant
