Abigail
Lyrics:

“Abigail, I know You’re in control of her brain, Abigail
And I know that You’re the one that’s
speaking through her, Abigail
Miriam can You hear me”
“I am alive inside Your Wife
Miriam’s dead, I am her head.”
“Abigail, don’t You think I know what
You’ve done, Abigail
I’ll get a priest, he will know
How to get her soul back”
“Oh Jonathan, this is Miriam
Our time is out
Remember the stairs, it’s the only way”
“Abigail, nothing I can do but give in, Abigail”
“Jonathan, I agree…Yes I do”
“I am alive inside Your Wife
Miriam’s dead, I am her head, soon I’ll be free!”
Songwriters: Kim Bendix Petersen

Pantera’s video for “Walk” from their album Vulgar Display of Power!

Pantera
Walk
Lyrics:

Can’t you see
I’m easily
Bothered by persistence
One step from lashing
Out at you

You want in
To get under my skin
Call yourself a friend
I’ve got more friends like you
What do I do?

Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I’ve been belong?
You can’t be something you’re not
Be yourself by yourself
Stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time

Respect, walk
What did you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?

Run your mouth
When I’m not around
It’s easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends
That sympathize

Can you hear
The violins
Playing your song?
Those same friends
Tell me your every word

Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I’ve been belong?
You can’t be something you’re not
Be yourself by yourself
Stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time

Respect, walk
What did you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talking to me?
Respect, walk
What did you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?

No way, punk

Respect, walk
What did you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talking to me?
Respect, walk
What did you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?

Walk on home, boy!

Anthrax | Indians | Among The Living | Thrash | Metal | Mosh | Classic

Anthrax’s video for Indians from the album Among the Living!

Anthrax
Indians
Lyrics:
We all see black and white
When it comes to someone else’s fight
No one ever gets involved
Apathy can never solve
Forced out-brave and mighty
Stolen land-they can’t fight it
Hold on-to pride and tradition
Even though they know how much their lives are really missin’
We’re dissin’ them
On reservations
A hopeless situation
Respect is something that you earn
Our Indian brothers’ getting burned
Original American
Turned into second class citizen
Cry for the Indians
Die for the Indians
Cry for the Indians
Cry, cry, cry for the Indians
Love the land and fellow man
Peace is what we strive to have
Some folks have none of this
Hatred and prejudice
Songwriters: Charlie L. Benante / Daniel Alan Spitz / Frank Joseph Bello / Joseph A. Bellardini / Scott Ian Rosenfeld
