Exhorder - I Am the Cross

New Exhorder song, only this time from the album "The Law". This song is called "I Am the Cross".Biography:Exhorder was formed in 1985 in New Orleans and was one of the bands that helped shape the "Louisiana sound," a common sound shared between many metal bands from the state. They released two demos, one in 1986 called Get Rude, and another one, Slaughter in the Vatican in 1988. Exhorder split up shortly after the recording of the demo, but reformed with new guitarist Jay Ceravolo (who replaced David Main).Slaughter in the Vatican, the band's first full-length album, was released in 1990. The album was spawned from the 1988 demo of the same name, and solidified their chugging tight riffs with a rigid structure style. Although dismissed by some because of the offensive title and front cover. Their second offering, 1992's The Law, was more so in the vein of groove metal rather than pure thrash and did not have the same effect as their debut. After their European tour in support of the album, the band split. Vocalist Kyle Thomas went on to form Floodgate with his brother, as well as briefly appearing live as the vocalist for Trouble, while guitarist Jay Ceravolo formed Fall from Grace. Chris Nail is co-owner of the 7 C&M Music Center locations in LA and MS.LYRICS:I am HeartlessYou will Fear Me day and night.I reak of putrid mentality andMy aura's exuding might.There is no way to stop MeSo take care what you tryJust remember that I am MeAnd I stand not by your Side.My mind retains no SympathyAnd it's banished Love too.My lowest RetaliationKeeps Me over You.My children bear no gladness.And soon they'll watch Die.I am the Cross,I am the Pain,That leaves your dying Eyes..Cowardly you run from me.But can't you see?An entity of horror is what I RemainTo infflict abominations is what I GainRecoil amongst your kin.They'll soon be crucified.Much the same, Manner as the manYou worshipped, died.Waste not your time in prayer,Because none escapes my Wrath.The torn throats and infantsOf the plagues are just a trickleIn the tub of my bloodbath.Just who on Earth do you think youAre to challenge My Immortal Ways?My indifference is real soTo My appeal keep on diggingYour own Grave.Just when you thought it was safeTo resist My ReignThe pressure overrides.You simply can't comprehendMy ability to nail You up atAny Time.Stick your hands outstrechedBefore the arms of woodCarved out for you.With the mallet's blow Uponthe SpikesI hold you as if You wereThe King of The Jews.Can't you face the Groove?Two thirds of the Earth's PopulationShould not even exist.A malignancy, an Ugly SoreMankind's but a cyst.And there You hang,Upon the Cross.
