Body Count - Raining in Blood / Postmortem 2017 lyrics

Interviewer: Ice! Explain Body Count
Ice T: 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 of 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 it's horror
Creating my structure now I
Shall 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
