Overkill - Fear His Name

From the album 'Taking Over' (1987)


Lyrics:

On judgement day, the moon lights the way.
And those with open eyes will see...
Hail the avenger, midnight defender.
The end will never be.
You look to the light...
Dawn of a new day.
Hail the avenger...
He who lights the way.

Away with your fear, I've cried all my tears,
Delevered from the night...
Hail the avenger, laughing at danger.
Shed blood, bring life.
If you live by the sword...,
You die by the sword.
All hail! the avenger..,
Accept our new lord.

The defeated lay, lifeless in the pit.
His face reflects the horror of his victems in tenfold.
A death of deaths,
All evil fear his name!
Struck down, by a man!
His severed limbs ooze oceans of our blood.
...man stands, oh knee deep, within..!
Paused to scream, this is not a sin,
I have done your will, I've delivered.
From this day forth, known as the avenger...

Guarding the weak, and those who seek,
Asylum from a world of wrong....!
Hail! the avenger, midnight defender.
Silent bold and strong.
You echo our cry, so ends war.
All hail! the avenger.
Victory hour
Ooo, Victory ours.

Our vengeance recall, those starting to fall.
Oh victory hour!!!

@JohnMetal91

yeah i just think its funny how much halos theme song sounds so alike to those and this song

[JohnMetal91]

@overkillforever1 I don't think its just Fear His name, but also Disposable Heroes (Metallica) and Good Mourning/Black Friday (Megadeth). I hear parts of all 3 songs in the Halo theme.

best song

@r0t0r00t3r Seems to me like you love fighting with people over the internet, huh tough guy? Try communicating with civility, you might actually enjoy it, rather than arguing like a bunch of kids. By the way, using big words does not make you sound like you know what your talking about, it makes you sound like a douche. Hurl the smart ass remark at me, i wont gratify you with a response.

[da66661]

@rustinpeace09 no!

he's actually the best!!!!!!!

[MetalUpYourAssAgain]

@DasWehrmacht666 Metallica is not a bunch of fags. They are great band, and Overkill too and there is no reason to compare these two bands, or some other bends. It's stupid! Every of these bands are great on their way, and that's it :)

@overkillforever1 I didn't hear it until I started humming the song but dude, you're right. There's a definite similarity there lol

[MrGerolf]

@r0t0r00t3r Hey man, we know you use Microsoft Word and an online thesaurus to say all those big words. You are just a really young boy who has just started to listen to metal. Metallica does not define metal, just because it has metal in its name. You are to young to understand that though. People like you love to say that every band in the world, has ripped off Metallica at some point, I bet if you knew who Mandator was, you'd say they're a rip off too since you are to young to respect music.

@DasWehrmacht666 Your grasp and comprehension of the English language is abominable. The reason for the inquiry relating to your age stemmed only from your adolescent sophomoric use of expletives. Your resplendent inferiority complex precludes me from attempting to engage in a debate of any sort. Does posting comments such as "Metallica is a bunch of fags" help to elevate your self-esteem?
