ANVIL LYRICS

1. Race Against Time

Sitting in my time machine blasting through all time
Watching fractured memories, my future is left behind
Seasons passing in a blink, days pass by to years
Take me to a better place, save me from my fears

[Chorus]

The future, the past
New horizons, through time I blast
Race against time

Past the golden gates of paradise in the land that time forgot
Retrieve the wishes of your dreams, the things in life you sought
Beyond your wildest fantasies, your eyes you won't believe
Pioneer a new frontier, another concept to conceive

[Chorus]

Travelled through the centuries of uncalculated time
When laws of physics are broken it's not considered a crime
You can stand and watch as battles rage and people die in vein
Like watching an old time movie over and over again

No future, no past
Lost horizon, will we last?
Race against time

2. In Hell

Fire and brimstone, sulphur smell
The home of evil in the depths of hell
Cauldrons a-boil with blood and bone
Your soul is taken for the devil to own

In hell

Toxic air and intense heat
Burning embers upon your feet
Drawn and quartered, disembowelled
When serving Satan is what you've vowed

Fire's burning in hell
In hell

Tortured souls must pay the price
Victims of their own device
Banished to this forsaken place
To stare upon the demon's face

Fire's burning in hell
In hell

Severed limbs and burned out eyes
No one cares and no one cries
On your knees you bend and cower
To bare your soul to be devoured

Fire's burning in hell
In hell

3. Holy Wood

Jesus was crucified
Moses parted the sea
I saw it on a movie
On the TV
The bible is a book
That started with Adam and Eve
Filled with mambo jumbo
Do you believe?

Holy wood, holy shit

David and Goliath
Man and morality
Wars in the Middle East
A taste of reality
Ishmael and Isaac
Brothers in hate
Prewritten history
Does it tell us our fate?

Holy wood, holy shit

Our father who art in heaven (spit)

Written like a screen play
With morality implied
A priest diddles a choir boy
Truth can be denied
Politics, religion
Still go hand in hand
Draw you own conclusion
Draw your line in the sand
Jesus was crucified
Moses parted the sea
I saw it on a movie
On the TV

Holy wood, holy shit

4. Still Going Strong

Dick Dale
Sure could wail
Haley rocked the clock
Chuck and Holly
Good golly Miss Molly
It was the birth of rock'n'roll
Beatles, Stones
Innovative tones
Hendrix burned his guitar
Acid rock
What a shock
Adolescence of rock'n'roll

[Chorus]

Parents said it's wrong
Don't listen to the devil's song
Critics said it won't last long
After 50 years still going strong
Still going strong
Still going strong, never will die
Still going strong
Still going strong, I tell no lie

Jimmy Page
All the rage
Cream was over the top
Rod and Beck
Deep Purple's living wreck
Black Sabbath sold their soul

[Chorus]

Still going strong
Still going strong, never will die
Still going strong
Still going strong, I tell no lie

Priest and Maiden came along
Anvil makes a metal song
Like a club that you belong
Here we are still going strong

5. Don't Ask Me

Never ending universe coming to an end
Oceans running dry, on what can we depend?
Alien abduction, sight a UFO
Decimated landscape, I don't want to know
Unanswered questions I ponder each day
Please don't you ask me, I have nothing to say?

Don't ask me for the answer
Don't ask me 'cause I don't know

Decomposing plastic, the sun going black
When will they push the button? When's the Messiah coming back?
Natural disaster, volcanoes erupt
Innocent convicted, justice is corrupt
Unanswered questions I ponder each day
Please don't you ask me, I have nothing to say

Don't ask me any questions
Don't ask me the status quo
Don't ask me for the answer
Don't ask me 'cause I don't know

Genetic engineering create a perfect clone
Find a cure for cancer, we're in the twilight zone
The end of all hostility, refugees set free
Peace and tranquillity, the final destiny
Unanswered questions day after day
Please don't you ask me, I really can't say

Don't ask me any questions
Don't ask me the status quo
Don't ask me for the answer
Don't ask me 'cause I don't know
Don't ask me any questions
Don't ask me which way to go
Don't ask me for the answer
Don't ask me 'cause I don't know

6. Waiting

Seems no matter what I do
I end up standing in line
I find myself in another queue
Give me some cheese for my wine
It doesn't matter where you go
It's always the same old thing
Feels like roots will begin to grow
When it's winter it will soon be spring

Caught in another traffic jam
The bank teller's broken a nail
You know I really don't give a damn
The cheque is in the mail
They said they'd pay me yesterday
I know it's always late
Just another wasted day
You've got to hurry up and wait

[Chorus]

Waiting, waiting, always someone in front of you
Waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, it's something I hate to do
Waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting

Take a number, stand in line
That's what you must do
I've had enough, I have no time
Won't you tell me something new?
The waiting game has its rules
That you can't defy
I always seem to lose my cool
I'll be waiting until I die

[Chorus]

7. White Rhino

[Instrumental]

8. What I'm About

Don't know where to begin
It comes from within
It's my story
Started as a boy
Music was my toy
It's my glory
Never passed a day
That I didn't play
My heart out
I'll never let it go
It's all I wanna know
That's what I'm about
That's what I'm about

I do it for the love
It's all I'm thinking of
It's in my heart
I feel it in my soul
It's my only goal
I do my part
Never will pass a day
That I won't play
My heart out
I'll never let it go
I'll just let you know
That's what I'm about
That's what I'm about

9. Sativa

There's a plant that we all know
As sweet sativa
Long sticky leaves and a frosty glow
Sweet little diva
Sweet sativa, never leave ya
Gets me through the stresses in my life

Sativa
Sweet sativa

Fragrant scent that you long to smoke
Sweet sativa
If you posses this to have a toke
I want to meet ya
Sweet sativa, never leave ya
Gets me through depression in my life

Sativa
Sweet sativa
Cannabis sativa

Grown by nature down in Mexico
Sweet sativa
Don't say it's bad, I don't wanna know
I won't believe ya
Sweet sativa, I'll never leave ya
Gets me through the boredom in my life

Sativa
Sweet sativa
Sativa
Sweet sativa
Cannabis sativa

10. I'm Defiant

I don't care what you say
I just live for today
I just do what I feel
A brazen heart made of steel
Nothing can stop me
I do it my way

I'm defiant

You can't tell me what to do
To myself I know I'm true
I defy and break the rules
The masses are asses, a bunch of fools
Nothing can stop me
I do it my way
No one can blame me
For being this way

[Chorus]

I'm defiant
Defiant

Against the grain is where I go
A rebel cause is all I know
A social misfit is on the loose
Making the life that I choose
Nothing can stop me
I do it my way
No one can blame me
For being this way

[Chorus]

I don't care what you say
I just live for today
I just do what I feel
Brazen heart made of steel
Nothing can stop me
I do it my way
No one can blame me
For being this way

[Chorus]
