Metal Onslaught - 05 - Run for Your life (Demo)

Here is the fifth track of the Primal Scream demo by the Illinois based crossover thrash metal band Metal Onslaught. The song is called Run For Your Life. Metal Onslaught formed in Elgin, Illinois in 1985. The band released this demo the following year and a follow up in 1987. They released their only EP Cease to Exist in 1987. That EP would be included as part of a split in 1989 with Morbid Visions by Sepultura. In 1988, the band would change their name to CArnage, and they would release two demos under this name in 1988 and 1989. After that, they changed their name again to Lost Soul but released nothing further.

Lyrics:

To scared to run through the trips of domain
To scared to look the other way
Your life has come but now is slipping fast
Onto a long lived fear

Of pain and hatred you lived an easy life
Spreading it thicker than thin
You now must face it your judgement day has past
A morbid feeling from within
Run for your life

Hang the devil string up his ass
Cross him in his path to slice off his head
Nothing anymore seems quite what it is
Better turn your back now because your next on his list

So run while you can don't look back to see
Your losing your self-control
So now I can see your not what you can be
Crucify to steal your soul
Run for your life

Your mother doesn't like me she can shove it up her ass
Your mother does despise me says I got fuckin class
Your brother doesn't see that what is said is what is done
All of them can rot in hell and die in posers blood

So run while you can don't look back to see
Your losing your self-control
So now I can see your not what you can be
Crucify to steal your soul
Run for your life
