Exodus

Exodus is an American thrash metal band formed in 1980 in Richmond, California. Spanning a career of over 30 years, Exodus has gone through numerous lineup changes, two extended hiatuses, and the deaths of two former band members. Guitarist Gary Holt joined the band shortly after its formation and has remained the only constant member of Exodus since, appearing on all their releases, although he did not tour with the band in the summer of 2012. Drummer Tom Hunting is one of the founding members, and departed from the band twice, in 1989 and 2004, but rejoined in 2007. more »

I am the years of death and dying
I tear with gripping teeth
I prey upon all the weary
eliminate the weak
Not a day in your life passes
when you won’t think of me
No thought and prayers can save you
So get up off of your knees
When I sense a weakness
I move in with blazing speed
Mothers, brothers, fathers and sons
it matters not to me

I’m a force of nature pure and sure
I’ve killed through all of time
When a GALE force wind blows through you
you’ll know that you are mine
I am legend, I’m your end
you’ll wither when I’m near
I’m the years of death and dying
the sum of all your fears

You may have had a brush with me
escaped and saved yourself
Most likely I was occupied
with killing someone else
Legends fall when I come to call
as I plan my next attack
PETTY things won’t matter
just ask THE MAN IN BLACK
The RAGE is gone and so is BON
so young in their demise
I ended the ERUPTION
I took them in their prime

I cull the herd with no remorse
taking souls along the WAY
I’m here to set the balance
of all you have to pay
I turned ZIGGY into STARDUST
I’ve been killing ever since
I took an EAGLE from the sky
I even killed a PRINCE
Struck down the QUEEN
Bid FAREWELL TO KINGS
I took the ANGEL OF DEATH
I’m always at the ready
to take away your breath
