Lyrics

Neck Breaking Fury

Neck Breaking Fury (1990), track 1

The title track of the last demo, and in the live set years before it was recorded.

A massacre of endless rage, relentless in our attack
Violent metal drawing blood from countless Marshall stacks
A speed attack of deadly noise expanding nationwide
Forcing hoards of posers into hopeless suicide

A rush of power rapes your brain
When you least expect
Power explodes, feel the pain
Sparks fly from your neck

A blur of sonic chaos, your head begins to pound
Aggression not evil, a cataclysmic sound
A brutal siege takes its toll on victims unaware
A force of violent fury. Take heed. Beware.
