Подписавшись в 1987 году на легендарный лэйбл Metal Blade, трэшера Священный Рейх начали свою карьеру песней, описывающей трагедию Второй Мировой войны и демонстрирующей знание истории Вермахта и машины гитлеровской пропаганды. С тех пор их тексты изобилуют обличениями правительства и пороков общества. С прошлым музыкальным опытом СР мне познакомится пока не удалось, так что приходится судить об их творчестве по вот этой коротенькой пластиночке (с очень милой обложкой!). Сначала цепляет как-то не очень. Судя по хвалебным песням критиков, ранее они играли поинтереснее. И возможно по-динамичней. Хотя, конечно, вещи "Heal" и шустрая около-хардкоровая "Don't" цепляют, в целом материал несколько расслабленный и среднетемповый. Вещь под названием "John’s Idea" эту ленцу немножко объясняет. Если верить буклету, идет она всего 40 секунд, и создается впечатление, что это должно быть или сверхскоростное убийство в духе D.R.I. или какой-то прикол. Рубки я не услышал, прикола - тоже, одни хлопания дверью и чье-то сонное бормотание, бурлящие звуки заставляют думать, что кто-то раскуривает наркоту. Перетекает это в "Ask Ed", которая повествует о человеке, уставшго от лицемерного общества и привыкшего расслабляться лишь с помощью травы. После окончания композиции следует какая-то болтовня, из разговоров понимаешь, что ребятки действительно не прочь покурить чего покрепче. Значит, обкурились и замедлили темп. Ничего, все же рубят. "Who Do You Want to Be?" (чей-то кавер) и "See Through My Eyes" хороши, да и работа соло-гитариста радует на протяжении всего альбома. Черт, надо где-то искать старый Рейх... |

A bullet in you fucking head
Trade you brown shirt for blue suit
Only the clothes are new
Saw you try with David Duke
But we can see right through you
Racist
Peice of shit
Bullet
The only way you'll learn
2. Heal
I remember, every word you said
I'll remember all until my dying day
I can't forget just what you said meant
But I'll try my best still anyway
Every promise broken I remember
Don't ever think I don't
Can't forgive can't forget
While I try to heal my wounds
I remember like it was yesterday
All my days were filled with joy
Then you came in lie a black cloud
And my happiness was destroyed
Every promise broken I remember
Don't ever think I dont
Can't forgive can't forget
While I try to heal my wounds
Can't forgive can't forget
I know I will go on
How could I be too blind to see
That you had just led me on
Now you are gone but i can touch
These wounds that I can feel
It's another time in life
My old wounds have healed
That was then and this is now
And those things are now in the past
And I know no matter what
Some things weren't meant to last
Ever promise broken I remember
Don't ever think I don't
Can't forgive can't forget
While I try to heal my wounds
Can't forgive can't forget
I know I will go on
How could I bee too blind to see
That you had just led me on
Now you are gone but I can touch
These wounds that I can feel
Its another time in life
My old wounds have healed
3. Breakthrough
What I see what can be
It makes me want to shut out the world
Or take it all of it
Take it in and keep it for myself
Cannot belive the powers to perceive
When all around things bring you down
Just have to shut, close up you eyes
Let the strength come up from inside
Feel it rising
Through you brain
A freight train
When I need to belive
I just have to convince myself
Anything you can see
Can become a reality
Will not get stuck in a rut
Refuse to let myself sink
Just have to move do not stand still
And let the chips fall where they will
Feel it rising
Through your brian
A freighttrain
Just let the feeling
Guide you
A breakthrough
Just open up do you like what you see
Can you accept who you are
Can you make strides to where you want to be
Don't be afraid
You must belive in yourself
Don't take any shit from anyone else
You must realize your full potential
If you don't your wasting time
Self-Empowerment is what I'm saying
Don't let anyone make you a victim
With self confidence all is possible
Anything you want reachout and grab it
4. Low
I'm feeling low
How I got here I'll never know
My heads a mess
This building hopelessness
I'm feeling low
Caught in a grip of emptiness
I can't escape
This darkness drags me down
And tries to consume me
I'm feeling low
How much farther can I go
I feel the end
One step away from death
I'm feeling low
Why do I feel this way
Never felt so victimized
The daily persecution
Comes from my own mind
The onslaught of self-doubt
Invades me once again
I need a ray of hope
To avert the bitter end
How could I get so down
Must pull myself back up
Too easy to give in
No way I'll give up
I've got to turn it around
And get myself set straight Got to keep my head up
Before it's all to late
I'm feeling low
5. Don't
Savior
Save me from this hell I'm in
Take me
Lead me out and take me in
Make me
Help me try to understand
Hate me
Just because of who I am
Judge you by the clothes you wear
Judge you by the length of hair
Find out not who you are
Take you just for what you are
Shame me
With a name that is not mine
Blame me
With everthing that comes with time
Call me
Anything you would like
Taunt me
I can take it all that's right
Judge you by your shade of skin
Judge you by the clique your in
Talk to me see in my mind
Taken back by what you'll find
Don't judge me
Don't
Don't judge me
Don't
Savior
Save me from the hell I'm in
Take me
Lead me out and take me in
Make me
Help me try to understand
Hate me
Just because of who I am
Judge you by the clothes you wear
Judge you by the length of hair
Find out not who you are
Take you just for what you are
Don't judge me
Don't
Don't judge me
Don't
6. Jason's Idea
[A little sacred talk]
7. Ask Ed
I remember back in school days
On the way we'd duck into the alleyway
What'd we know we were just kids
Bust out and take a few hits oh yeah
What's the matter ain't doing no harm
No trouble ain't doing nothing wrong
I though we were supposed to be free
Just hanging out gonna smoke a little weed
Just trying to set my mind free
You know just tryin to be me
Hey man don't pay me no mind
Just kicking back gonna get real high
Yeah tired of hipocrasy can't you even see
I know I'm not losing my mind
Just trying to have a good time yeah
I want to alter my concious state
Everybody has their own way
You know every know and then
Just want to party with a couple of
freinds oh yeah
Just trying to set my mind free
Big bird's hangng out with me
Hey man don't pay me no mind
Just kicking back gonna get real high
Yeah tired of hipocrasy can't you even see
I know I'm not losing my mind
Just trying to have a good time yeah
Sometime I like to kick back
Hit the fridge have a little snack
Grab the paper see whats on the tube
Stretch out and smoke a fat dube
Be cool when you come to AZ
Headquarters is the happening scene
Hook up with some killer green
When you lite it up pass it to me oh yeah
Just trying to set my mind free
You know I'm just trying to be me
Hey man don't pay me no mind
Just kicking back gonna get real high
Yeah I'm tired of hipocrasy can't
you even see
I know I'm not losing my mind
Just trying to have a good time yea!
8. Who Do You Want To Be
Who do you want to be today
Who do you want to be
Who do you want to be today
Do you wann be just like somone on T.V.
Oh boredom is so horrible it's like a dread
disease Nothing could be worse when there's
nothing on T.V. I'd rahter be a cowboy than
to stare blank at the walls
Ive been reborn so many times
I can't remember them all
(And I Say)
Who do you want to be today
Who do you want to be
Who do you want to be today
Do you want to be just like someone on T.V.
Just like somebody on T.V.
I think I'll be a teddy boy, I think I'll be
a hunk I think I'll be a tough guy and I think
I'll be a punk might just be a fashion star all dresses in frilly rags
Or perhaps I'll cross the other side and walk around in drag!
Who do you want to be today
Who do you want to be
Who do you want to be today
Do you want to be just like some one on T.V.
Just like somebody on T.V.!
Do you like to be a rock in the middle
of the sea Do you want to suffer by
youself in a pool of blissful misery
Do you want to feel like a saint in
artist's clothes with rosary in you hand
do you want to be crazy like Van Gogh
like a stranger in a
Strange, strange land
Would you rather push the
buttons and be feared by all humanity
Or perhaps you'd like to be a bum
do you wanna be stupid
Just like me!
Who do you want to be today
Who do you want to be
Who do you want to be today
Do you want to be just like someone on T.V.
Just like somebody on T.V.!
Who do you want to be....
9. Seen Through My Eyes
In this life there is no truth
When you search for middle ground
You willfind no absoloutes
In your search for black and white
You'll find that things fall to the shadows
This is where your answers lie
But for this ain't enough
You just have to keep on pushing
Man your life will be real tough
Seen through my eyes
Idealism clings to you
You know the answers out there
somewhere
Cut the lies and find the truth
It's a lonley road you walk
When you decide to take the high road
Find alot of people bought
But my hat comes off to you
Gettin up every day
After all that you've been through
Seen through my eyes
In this life there is no truth
When you search for middle ground
You will find no absolutes
It's a lonley road you walk
When you decide to take the high road
Find alot of people bought
But my hat goes off to you
Getting up every day
After all that you've been through
Seen through my eyes
Idealism clings to you
You know the answer's
out there somewhere
Cut the lies to find the truth
10. I Don't Care
l see you watchng me
Very carefully
Is it you belife
Sibling rivalry
Getting in too deep
Quicksand at you feet
Can you stand the heat
Or cave in to defeat
l've seen it all before
Acycle evermore
The walls come crashing in
But l don't care
l don't care
Take it for what it is
Pain is one man''s bliss
A life of opposites
A matter of perception
Life is suffering
Think of the joy it brings
The sound is deafening
It's making my ears ring
Tell me to turn it down
I'll make it twice as loud
You say I have to stop
But l don't care
l don't care
You listen for the sound
Your ears to the ground
Your time will come 'round
Don't let it get you down
All things under the sun
Will return to one
And when our days are done
No where to turn and run
You say me ways ain't right
That l don't see the light
l see them every night
But l don't care
l don't care
11. The Power Of The Written Word
Take the chance to manipulate
Thier truth is simply what they create
They'll put words inside you mouth
Have no chance to spit them out
What you read
What you see
What you think
Form their thought
From their view
From their ink
Opinions expressed are their views
Colored versions of the truth
It is fine to say what you think
Why belive every word you read
What you read
What you see
What you think
from their thought
From their view
From their ink
Don't belive a word they say
you know it never could be true
Anything they do or say is onlymeant
to mislead you
Don't belive a word they say
They're only trying to get control of you
Take the chance to manipulate
Their truch is simply what they create
They'll put words inside you mouth
Have no chance to spit them out
What you read
What you see
What you think
From their thought
From their view
From their ink
