Anvil - Plenty Of Power lyrics



Tracks



01. Plenty Of Power

Harden steel and thunder sound
Motivated to move the ground
Digging deep the quarry heap
Caterpillar's on the creep
Moving rubble in its wake
Turning rocks that crack and break
It's the one to move a ton
Mass destruction has begun

Plenty of power

Pushing power and endless source
Mechanized driving force
Moving rubble no trouble
Feel the ground begin to rumble
Single shank a blade of steel
Turbo charged with mega zeal
High sprocket powered rocket
There is nothing that can stop it

Plenty of power

D11 dozer with massive power
Meal of concrete to devour
Dig a landfill bury a hill
If you don't know, you never will
Diesel engine that's after cooled
Crawling creature that's fire fueled
Fractured rock, after shock
All I wanna do is rock

Plenty of power

02. Groove Science

Formulas equations for song
Memories that last a life long
Mixing of rhythm and riff
Multiplied by the players I'm with
Personal complete alliance

Groove science

Looking for just the right sound
Inspirations where it's found
Doing it with self reliance
Finding all the parts
Writing from our hearts

Groove science

Absolute devotion for song
The science for writing is strong
Listening for just the right note
Learning from what we wrote
A breaking of all the silence
Finding all the parts
Writing from our hearts

Groove science

03. Ball Of Fire

Prophecies of Armageddon
The end of all we know
Like Atlantis lost and forgotten
When the winds of disaster blow

Pieces of shattered planets
Fragments of space debris
Atomic powered rocket
Won't keep us from our destiny

Ball of fire
Streak the sky
Ball of fire
Comets falling from the sky
Destructive force we can't defy
Ball of fire

The universe and all its wonders
Planets among the stars
Ripping and roaring thunder
When Earth becomes a wasteland like Mars

Ball of fire
Streak the sky
Ball of fire
Comets falling from the sky
A force we can't defy
Ball of fire

04. The Creep

I know a guy you just can't trust
He's rotten to the core
I know a guy that will push you
Further than you've been before
Broken promises a pack of lies
A dishonest piece of shit
Broken jaw a blackened eye
Would more than do the trick

A burned out loser with nothing to lose
Always on the take
A burned out abuser with nothing to choose
Of that make no mistake

Brainless, heartless
Useless, clueless
Company you shouldn't keep
The creep, the creep, the creep
Will fuck you over
The creep, the creep, the creep

There's a moral for every story
This one has no end
There's a player who's never sorry
And you'll he'll soon befriend
Don't be surprised he'll be disguised
As someone that you know
Don't compromise just realize
What friends you must let go

Brainless, heartless
Useless, clueless
Company you shouldn't keep
The creep, the creep, the creep
Will fuck you over
The creep, the creep, the creep

05. Computer Drone

Mental fixation in a cyber dream
Daily addiction to the computer screen
Log in, sign in, tune your world out
Boot up, download, surfing about
Visual stimuli in your eyes to your mind
Habitual tool for all of mankind

Addicted
Caught in the web
Unrestricted
To what you've been fed
Computer drone

Click from link to fall in the net
Backwards and forward see what you get
Mental fixation in a cyber dream
Daily affliction to the up most extreme

Addicted
Caught in the web
Unrestricted
To what you've been fed
Computer drone

06. Beat The Law

One step ahead, they're on your tail
Live or dead you're skipping bail
Over your shoulder, no time to stop
You're getting bolder watch out for a cop

A born thief on the lamb
His mother's grief, he don't give a damn
Has a rap sheet as long as my arm
An escapee from a work farm

Beat the law

Criminal on the loose
Escape the hangman's noose

Beat the law

Steal a car grand larceny
Won't get far committing a felony
On the run no place to hide
Ain't no fun, a kick in the pride

A dream team lawyer is what you need
A filthy liar to get you freed
You walk away an exonerated man
But everyday you'll be damned

Beat the law

07. Pro Wrestling

Ring bell, fighters in the ring
Start match, begin the clobbering
Drop kick, caught up in the rope
Pin fall, for the man with no hope

Head butt, arm drag

Pro wrestling fight to win
Pro wrestling be the champion

Choke slam, below the belt a knee
Face lock, in steps the referee
Bear hug, cross face chicken wing
Monkey flip, gorilla press and fling

Toe hold, kick out

Pro wrestling fight to win
Pro wrestling be the champion

Cage match, hell inside the cell
Hard core, blood the tale will tell
Choreographed, for the crowd appeal
Screen play, the pain is truly real

Back drop, eye gauge
Hip toss, kick out

Pro wrestling fight to win
Pro wrestling be the champion

08. Siren Of The Sea

Ocean of fantasy many fathoms deep
Calling in the darkness attracting you to seek

Luring lonely seaman to a perilous end
Shark infested waters on their eyes they can't depend
Obscured by fog and distance a maiden in the mist
Hear her call of singing your fate will have a twist

Siren, siren, siren of the sea

On the sea of years gone past many a sailor died
Searching the darkness when the lonely maiden cried
Run aground upon the reefs a desperate agony
When finding a woman of your dreams becomes your destiny

Siren, siren, siren of the sea

09. Disgruntled

Working your ass off every single day
Waiting for a pay cheque just to pay your way
A selfish boss with no money to spare
Watches you live in poverty you know he doesn't care

Disgruntled

Rain or snow, wind or hail the postman's decree
Another day another dollar living ain't for free
Revenge and anger is your driving force
A gun in hand seems the only recourse

Disgruntled

Rat race to nowhere, just to make a buck
Garbage can dinner on the street and out of luck
Broken dreams, broken home all because of money
Land of opportunity is not all milk and honey
When revenge and anger is your driving force
Then a gun to your head is the only recourse

Disgruntled

10. Real Metal

You thought that metal was a trend
Got some news for you my friend
Anvil music is what I am
Really don't give a damn
So if you think that we suck
I really don't give a fuck
I defy all the rules
Make the skeptics look like fools

Listen close I'll tell you why
I'll play my music till I die
My life is what I dedicate
To what I love not what I hate

Real metal

Like addiction till death do part
Metal music straight from the heart
Not for money just for the cause
Love to hear the fan's applause
One hit wonders fly by night
The eternal oversight
It's true Anvil the real McCoy
It's my passion, pride and joy

Real metal

From Hard'N'Heavy to Pound for Pound
From Worth the Weight to Speed of Sound
Donnington, Wacken, Brugge, in between
Still so much left unseen
All the songs all the places
All the fun in people's faces
To the diehard I'm glad your there
If not for you I'd be nowhere

Real metal

11. Dirty Dorothy

Seduce my mind
Seduce my soul
Shit or go blind
No self control
All that I crave
All that I desire
I'll be diggin' my grave
Until the day I expire

Stay away from me dirty Dorothy
Won't you let me be
Stay away from me dirty Dorothy
I've got to be free

The deadly embrace
A lasting affair
Unforgettable face
That doesn't care
Just another quick fix
It won't be my last
More dirty tricks
It takes my money fast

Stay away from me dirty Dorothy
Won't you let me be
Stay away from me dirty Dorothy
I've got to be free

Crying out for help

I've tried to quit
I've pushed it away
Hooked on the shit
Just another day
Tar on the road
Tar in my lung
Like a heavy load
The final bell has rung

Stay away from me dirty Dorothy
Won't you let me be
Stay away from me dirty Dorothy
I've got to be free
