Onslaught - In Search of Sanity

In Search Of Sanity
Trapped by this madness
In search of something lost to me
Life has no meaning
In a place that has no heart to bleed
Through walls of glass i stare
With a silence written in my eyes
No love or laughter
Stranger is the passion of the wise
(CHORUS)
Stand up and fight
Won't someone listen to me now
Stand up and fight
There's is only one me in my mind
I can't find a way out
No one sees what i see
This maze is a white line
In search of
In search of sanity
In search of sanity
Lies taint the mirror
No image of the truth to see
Time lost forever
To the wastelands of insanity
Deep Down inside i pray
For the peace and freedom of my past
Is there no way out
Hope light and reason fading fast
(CHORUS)
These watching voices
Gaze through this dark and empty shell
Sweet taste of freedom
Lies far inside the wishing well
The slope gets steeper now
On the winding road to set me free
Inside this sorrow
I seek a dream that just can't be
(CHORUS)

@REDPUNK1VINYL I'm not really interested in arguing with another decent metalhead, mate. Debate and discuss sure, but not argue.

And Onslaught have always been the kind of band to come out and talk to the fans after and before shows. Been to see them a few times now, and every single time I've been able to at least say hi and share a few words with someone from the band, and are more than happy to answer questions like that. Fantastic guys, to be honest.

@xSODxDeMoNiaC I salute your honesty on the slight cock up,I was dreading that this would turn into a(nother)youtube argument just because we had a differing opinion,I never heard any of the band from the PFH period stating Venom as a particular influence and didn't realise that Nige has stated otherwise so probably my bad aswell. I agree that they are a major force on the live arena no matter what the line up was/is even back to the pre PFH days right up to the SOV days and beyond.

@REDPUNK1VINYL Holy fucking shit. I missed the second comment I made, and only read the part were I said that 'Onslaught were hardly a copy of Venom'.

My bad, dude. They were listening to Venom before the release of PFH, and as such, did influence them to an extent, as Nige has said, both to myself and others. But on that particular album, the hardcore scene at the time was a much more significant influence.

Also, I fucking love this band. In-fucking-credible live.

[REDPUNK1VINYL]

@xSODxDeMoNiaC It says here "Venom were one of their heaviest influences" relating to PFH which was early Onslaught,can't see how that is the exact opposite???? though you're correct in stating that Onslaught were still finding their identity though with 3 albums and 3 different vocalists its hard to say if they ever found it,I guess The Force is the one that everybody relates to.

[xSODxDeMoNiaC]

@REDPUNK1VINYL I never said they were an influence on early Onslaught. In fact, read it again. That was the exact opposite of what I said. And I know Venom was a NWOBHM band, however the reason for the ambiguity is hardly unbelievable. I'm well aware of Onslaught's early influences, thanks.

[REDPUNK1VINYL]

@xSODxDeMoNiaC Venom were nevr an influence on early Onslaught,they grew up listening to Discharge and other hardcore PUNK bands and turned to metal when they heard early demos/albums by the likes of Metallica,slayer,anthrax,excit­er and yes,Venom are a NWOBHM band,for some reason people seem to think they are an early black/death/thrash metal band!!!!?

Better than Metalica
