Destruction

Metal up your ass!

A song written in 1987 at the age of 17 with my friend Boris, for our never-formed band, HÄMMERSCHLÄG. (We're still playing music together.) Recorded in 1990, and left unfinished. The original lyrics in the chorus go something like,

It's time for destruction,
Hell's natural reaction.
There is no time for action,
And you are gonna die!

You hear the people screaming,
The crowd is drawing nearer,
The voices getting clearer,
They're telling you
that you
are
gonna
DIIIIE!

,...and then there's this awesome solo which I can't play. Hey, feel free to provide your own solo or lyrics in your head while listening to this. Even better, download this song and add your own! METAL FOR ALL AMIRITE?

Man, as an instrumental, that would make an awesome wrestling theme song. Smoke and lights for ten seconds, and then when it kicks in, BOOM, sweet pyro, and here I come down the entrance ramp, ready to kick some ass.

Boris (he hadn't heard the song in a long time) just recalled more long lost lyrics:

Hell and fire are released tonight,
None of us will ever see the light.
Killing children, killing the unborn,
makes your soul abandoned, lost and torn...

...it's time for destruction, hells natural reaction, and so on.

HÄMMERSCHLÄG

This isn't a CMU reference is it?

Yes, yes it is. We lived there. It's a Very Metal name.
