Machine Head
Arrows in Words from the Sky (digital)
1. Become the Firestorm
Now become
Kill the pain
I'm breaking the shackles
Endless, let my spirit rise
I will not be denied
Rage against the dying light
Fearless, so vicious and violent
I'll fight this struggle to the death
Until nothing is left
Pounding fists on beaten chest
Scream this 'til my dying breath
Stand strong and fight through the scorn
Become the firestorm
Become the firestorm
Distended, twisted and torn
Become the firestorm
Become the firestorm
Watch me burn
The fury is frightening
Deathless, smash and conquer all
Time to beckon the call
Stand with me and never fall
Toxic, the pious and poisoned
Heartless, trust there's no love lost
And no matter the cost
Don't believe that all is lost
Kill this mental holocaust
Stand strong and fight through the scorn
Become the firestorm (the firestorm)
Become the firestorm (the firestorm)
Distended, twisted and torn
Become the firestorm (the firestorm)
Become the firestorm (the firestorm)
Honor, valor, I have shone
Courage, respect carved in stone
Killers, sinners are my flock
Slaughter, carnage, butcher's block
If there was ever a time in my life
That time is now
Take this weakness that cuts like a knife
And smash it down
Come on
If there was ever a time in my life
That time is now
Take this weakness that cuts like a knife
And smash it down
Stand strong and fight through the scorn
Become the firestorm
Become the firestorm
Distended, twisted and torn
Become the firestorm
Become the firestorm
Stand strong and fight through the scorn
Become the firestorm
Become the firestorm
Distended, twisted and torn
Become the firestorm
Become the fire
Become the fire, storm
2. Rotten
My mouth is cracked and dry
The words are choking by
My teeth are gritting at the rage I'm feeling
My stomach tied in knots
Jaw clenched and muscles taut
'Bout to explode inside the anger building
I've sat with gun in hand
Barrel to temple, can't understand
Bleeding an open sore
These wounds I can't ignore
I am the misbegotten
Lest this horror be forgotten
Everything is rotten to the core
Oh, everything is rotten to the core
Oh, everything is rotten to the-
Black blood, red pill
Razor and scar
Love cut, hate kill
This is a war
I stare into the black
Anxiety attack
My heart is racing as my throat's constricting
With every cut and scrape
My skin it palpitates
Lying awake, I feel the terror grip me
This nightmare never ends
Suffer my demons
Weather the bends
Drowning in misery and negativity
Walk shores of the downtrodden
Anthems to the misbegotten
Everything is rotten to the core
Oh, everything is rotten to the core
Oh, everything is rotten to the-
Black blood, red pill
Razor and scar
Love cut, hate kill
This is a war
War
Powerless
Life endless
Infected
Dejected
The lying liars say their spineless vile hypocrisies
The burning pyres blaze their timeless animosity
Will you stand beside me
And fight to change the world?
Everything is rotten to the core
Oh, everything is rotten
Anthems to the misbegotten
Everything is rotten to the core
Oh, everything is rotten to the core
Oh, everything is rotten to the core
Oh, everything is rotten to the core
Oh, everything is rotten
oh, everything is rotten to the core
(Life endless) everything is rotten to the core
(Infected) everything is rotten to the core
(Dejected) oh, everything is rotten to the core
(Life endless) everything is rotten to the core
(Infected)
3. Arrows in Words from the Sky
Break the silence,
the clouds lift in the
dawn inside my mind.
Is the darkness casting a reflection?
Staring at a broken mirror wanting,
can't ever realize.
You say that you believe
but do you know the reason why?
Centuries of pain under a paper sword,
arrows in words from the sky.
Breaking dawn, I am reborn,
right the wrong, the ark of justice.
Holding on by a thread I'll carry on
and rise above this.
Pain, how you gently
strip my confidence away
How your sweet caress
is black and blue and gray.
Archers at the ready,
bows drawn, aiming high,
arrows in words from the sky.
Buried songs, anthems to a frozen sun,
her cold will strengthen.
Fighting on, this war, no more,
lift up your brother.
Night is long, my heart so dark
keep pushing through this.
Pain, how you gently
strip my confidence away
How your sweet caress
is black and blue and gray.
Archers at the ready,
bows drawn, aiming high,
arrows in words from the sky.
The sky is darkest just before
the dawn so keep the faith and
wipe away your tears and wipe
the spit off of your face.
A spirit's buried inside,
you were meant to shine a light.
Glow incandescent,
let them fear the fire burning bright.
Shine bright,
burn your fire and
burn away the pain.
Pain, how you gently
strip my confidence away
How your sweet caress
is black and blue and gray.
Archers at the ready,
bows drawn, aiming high,
Arrows!
Pain, how you gently
strip my confidence away
How your sweet caress
is black and blue and gray.
Archers at the ready,
bows drawn, aiming high,
arrows in words from the sky.
