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 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
