Crucifix - Annihilation

Crucifix was an American hardcore punk band from Berkeley, California, active from 1980 to 1984. They were among the most popular acts of the San Francisco hardcore scene of the early 1980s. They were unusual among American punk bands for their strong D-beat and anarcho-punk characteristics, and their 1983 LP Dehumanization is considered a classic of the hardcore subgenre.

From dehumanization, to arms production,
for the benefit of the nation, or its destruction,
power is power, it's the law of the land,
those who live for death, would die by their own hands.
Life is no ordeal, if you can come to terms,
reject the system, which dictates the norm,
from dehumanization, to arms production,
for the benefit of the nation, or its destruction,
it's your choice: PEACE or ANNIHILATION!


Annihilation is to one, the means to an end,
Armageddon the war to end all wars, the extremists' end,

Annihilation annihilation annihilation,
self destruction destruction destruction,

The streets are on fire, death in our wake,
cars overturned, bodies are raped,
you go on preaching, religious dogma,
while paying for and sanctioning, vicious murders,

Annihilation annihilation annihilation,
praise destruction destruction destruction,

The streets are on fire, death in our wake,
cars overturned, seen it before,
annihilation is to one, the means to end,
Armageddon the war to end all wars, the extremists' end,

You go on and play with peoples lives,
using their minds,
you want total control, stay in line

Annihilation annihilation annihilation, the judgement day
Armageddon Armageddon Armageddon, are you going to let them blow you away?

I really didn't expect... this. It's weird, I loved the APC version... but this is just... another song.

[Volts7]

.....I'm so glad APC only covered the little speech at the start. This guy might have been smart, or not, I really don't care he just sings like a meat-head and meat-heads annoy me.

I lived at HOLC back in the 80's. I knew this band. I never liked their music, and they were assholes. I wonder if anyone from that place is still living.
