MASTER RECORDING LYRICS
FONT:
The ashes chafe between my fingernails,
the cigarettes have stained my skin.
My lungs are sore from breathing
in these chemicals.
I thrive inside this life of sin!
My bones are rotten to the marrow inside,
my veins are coursing only ice.
A heart of steel beats inside my chest,
temptation is my only vice.
Grind you down,
and grind you down!
Grind you down,
and grind you down.
Gonna grind you down!
Grind you down,
and grind you down.
Gonna grind you down!
Grind you down,
and grind you down.
Gonna grind you down,
grind you body down!
I can remember the last time December,
the snow that comes falling it washes away.
I'll live forever, the wings of a feather
will carry me on to the next victory.
The smell of death fills
up my nostrils like wine,
my eyes have slowly turned to stone,
my jackals terrorize the enemy lines.
Chewing on their muscle and bone!
Exact a pound of flesh to bring some justice,
my other generals start to cheer.
Because victory has shined a light upon us,
Death is in the rear view mirror.
Grind you down,
and grind you down!
Grind you down,
and grind you down.
Gonna grind you down!
Grind you down,
and grind you down.
Gonna grind you down!
Grind you down,
and grind you down.
Gonna grind you down,
grind you body down!
I can remember the last time December,
the snow that comes falling it washes away.
I'll live forever, the wings of a feather
will carry me on to the next victory.
The burning feeling
in my stomach starts to ache.
The sweat begins to bead,
uncertainties awake.
My body's holding
and it's folding to the floor.
Fight back alpha evermore!
Because something's wrong,
cause for alarm.
Authorities are here to harm!
Carve your path,
not one step fucking back.
Stand your ground,
don't let them grind you down!
Say "no more",
ring out our righteous roar.
Stand your ground,
don't let them grind you down!
Grind you down!
Grind you down,
and grind you down.
Gonna grind you down!
Grind you down,
and grind you down.
Gonna grind you down!
Grind you down,
and grind you down.
Gonna grind you down,
grind you body down!
Grind you body down!
I can remember the last time December,
the snow that comes falling it washes away.
I'll live forever, the wings of a feather
will carry me on to the next victory.
Because something's wrong,
it's now cause for our alarm!
Carve your path,
not one step fucking back,
Stand your ground,
don't let them grind you down!
