lyrics

I see the van outside my window with the tinted glass.
I hear the lenses zoom on every camera that I pass.
I set in motion some things that made some people mad.
And now they watch me for the moment to take all I have.
I walk among you although you hate me.
And I'm sure you know that this motivates me.
This game of hide and seek we all too often play.
It's going to come right down to brass tacks today.
Beat me down, lock my legs in chains, but
you can't stomp out what my spark enflamed.
Can't you see it lighting up the sky?
It's the glow of a million fires burning bright.
I know the men outside my window brought their guns and gas.
I hear their orders barked from behind their black breathing masks.
I set in motion some things that made some people mad.
I knew this day would come and I knew that it would be bad.
I walk among you although you hate me.
And I'm sure you know that this motivates me
This game of hide and seek we all too often play.
It's going to come right down to brass tacks today.
Beat me down, lock my legs in chains, but
you can't stomp out what my spark enflamed.
Can't you see it lighting up the sky?
It's the glow of a million fires burning bright.

Pain is God
by PIG

supported by 5 fans who also own “Defiance”

Kickin Ass is one of the coolest fckn songs I ever heard. I wish there was an extended version. The remixes are not nearly as cool as the original. PIG nailed that old school 80s industrial throwback vibe. Makes me think of like Pailhead or Ministry or Paula Abdul xD Totally Awesome Album full of sick songs. Seed of Evil..
