Raining in Blood / Postmortem 2017

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
