Anthrax - Catharsis Lyrics






All these years I've been the hard man
All these years it's been so hard man
To live my life for someone else
In fear of being honest with myself
I perpetrated a lie

Juggling my life with one hand
Tied behind my back, trying to find
And it had always been mine
I perpetrated a lie

I'm in, I'm out, I'm in, I'm out
I'm in, I'm out, I'm in, I'm out
I'm breaking through the darkness

And it knocked me over
Into the light of an older soul
And I'll never die
Cause everything I am is in your eyes

Angels in my heart, Devils in my eyes
Devils in my eyes...
Angels in my heart, Devils in my eyes
Devils in my eyes...

And it knocked me over
Into the light of an older soul
And I'll never die
I'll live forever in your eyes

Crucify my inhibitions
The first born son he died for my sins
Nothing to worry about
And all these years I was the hard man
I always knew I'd find myself and prove
Because you told me the truth
It's all I wanted from you

I'm in, I'm out, I'm in, I'm out
I'm in, I'm out, I'm in, I'm out
I'm breaking through the darkness

And it knocked me over
Into the light of an older soul
And I'll never die
Cause everything I am is in your eyes

Angels in my heart, Devils in my eyes
Devils in my eyes...
Angels in my heart, Devils in my eyes
Devils in my eyes...
Angels in my heart, Devils in my,
Devils in my,
Devils in my,
Devils in my eyes...

And it knocked me over
Into the light of an older soul
And I'll never die
I'll live forever in your eyes

My cathartic dream, a primal scream, shedding my skin
Somewhere between light and dark I balanced what I am
And I remember everything, we said we'd find a way
Laugh and cry, love and hate, ain't no weak link this bond can't break
I pull it out there, it comes back
I pull it out there, it comes back
I pull it out there, it comes back
I pull it out there, it comes back

Angels in my heart, Devils in my eyes
Devils in my eyes...
Angels in my heart, Devils in my eyes
Devils in my eyes...
Angels in my heart, Devils in my,
Devils in my,
Devils in my,
Devils in my eyes...

And it knocked me over
Into the light of an older soul
And I'll never die
I'll live forever in your eyes
I'll never die, I'll never die
I'll never die, I'll never die
I'll never die, I'll never die
I'll never die, I'll never die

    The album was okay, this track is KILLER!!!

  10. T.... D....

    I'm a blinded angel i can relate to this song

  11. D.... R....

    Love to listen to the opening trio (Crush/Catharsis/Inside Out) of Volume 8, all in a row. These are my favorites Anthrax songs with Only.

  12. T.... F....

    the 90's Anthrax with Bush is a better mature sound than the other .....um THREE

  13. T.... F....

    better than anything Metallica did during that time

  14. K.... ....

    The first two songs on the album are the only redeeming factors of this album.

    K.... ....

    KaRaTeLoRd11 Inside out - Harms Way and Stealing from a thief are awesome songs

    K.... ....

    Bullshit. It’s ALL good.

  15. M.... N....

    This is a seriously underrated album.

    M.... N....

    My favorite anthrax album
    Then white noise

  16. M.... n....

    Anthrax special this album and We have come 4 u all are 4 me beside Chaos AD, Arise & Roots of Sepultura the bests metal i have heard but didn't found the respect they really deserved

  17. l.... ....

    And they will NEVER play this or any Bush-era stuff live now that Joey's back. So annoys me! Entire albums worth of awesomeness we'll never experience in the flesh again.

    l.... ....

    Yes it's shitty

  18. C.... H....

    My first CD this one the threat is real👍

  19. C.... L....

    wgy there is not this song on Spotify?

  20. J.... G....

    the only good thrax album with John Bush. Thank God Belladonna is back with the band.

    J.... G....

    John Griggs Jr. I wouldn't call it the only good bush album. Although i don't particulary like any of the bush albums as in, the whole albums, i do like a few songs from each of them. And imo the best song from the bush era (don't get me wrong i love his voice and the way he sings, but the albums, the way they sound are not my cup if tea) and 1 out of 2 only actually thrash songs is What Doesn't Die. The other being Alpha Male.

    J.... G....

    This is the absolute worst of the 4 they released. White Noise is the best no doubt

  21. J.... P....

    This one kicks some serious ass!

    J.... P....

    My all time favorite warm up music before kung fu training

  22. H.... E....

    the -catharic dream- part still giving me the chills! Anthrax Rules!

  23. T.... ....

    bring me the horizon ripped off intro riff in it never ends

  24. R.... H....

    awesomeeeeee!!!!

    R.... H....

    we're becoming older souls

  25. M.... D....

    wicked AF 🤘🤘🤘

  26. F.... C....

    Great song. Great album. Greatest band!

  27. s.... ....

    John Bush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  28. M.... F....

    what an absolute bastard of a song, awesome!!

  29. h.... 1....

    Brutal👍🏻

  30. D.... C....

    One of the best vocals in Metal.

  31. P.... ....

    I listened to crush a ton of times...then i heard this ... and i haven't let go of it ever since and that was close to 15 years ago. this is My song...that one song you listen to over and over and never ever get tired of.

    P.... ....

    Same here, man. This is one of the band's best songs.

    P.... ....

    Good ol 2/4 pattern washing crashes big kick drums amd cymbals. Miss these days of metal. Now everybody recordes their parts in a booth digitally processes track laying I don't know small symbol small drums like Five Finger Death Punch Lamb of God chimaira would just be more metal with more metal appropriate sized drum gear lol

    P.... ....

    It's my favorite anthrax album
    Volume 8
    This song is awesome

  32. V.... ....

    Punkish Metal at it's best! I love this song! John Bush rules in this song his vocals are amazing! I can't get enough of it! I hit the repeat button several times^^

    V.... ....

    Vossie try listening to some armored saint. He's even better there

    V.... ....

    @Marin Hrabrić A few years ago, I'd been listening to AS one day, then Anthrax a couple days later, specifically this song. I thought to myself, "Man, that voice in Anthrax sounds REALLY familiar". After searching through a bunch of CD's, thinking of how the singer's voice sounds, it dawned on me who was singing this and it was an awesome feeling! Loved Armored Saint since they first came out when I was a teen. I knew a bit of Anthrax in the 80's, but only in the last 15 years really discovered them and have just about every CD. Saw them with Joey singing 2 years ago, but prefer Bush and would REALLY love to see them with him!

  33. t.... ....

    sounds like: Raven - Mind Over Metal

  34. T.... ....

    this is the only half decent song on this ass fuck of a recording. What were they taking fucking MDMA when they wrote this?

    T.... ....

    +Jake Grogan This isn't even close to grunge, it's groove metal like Prong. Bush wipes the floor with Belladonna these days, as evidenced by the fact that Joey cannot sing John's songs in the slightest.

    T.... ....

    Moxie the Game Bunny Power metal? Put the pipe down

    T.... ....

    +Jake Grogan I actually used the wrong word. It's called groove metal.

    T.... ....

    Moxie the Game Bunny Sorry I was an ass

    T.... ....

    +Jake Grogan No problem. I get what they were doing with Bush, especially since Tommy Victor knows the Anthrax guys pretty well. It's a different type of metal, but there's some good gems in there. This album and Sound of White Noise were both highly experimental and underrated for them, in my opinion.

  35. T.... D....

    The title of track track sounds like a eye disease

    T.... D....

    Chinese guy goes to his doctor says, "Doc I'm having trouble with my vision."
    Doc says, "Oh I see the problem: you have a cataract."
    Guy says, "No I have a Rincon Continental."

  36. E.... ....

    Amazing track! Feeling so identified, feeling symptoms of the borderline disorder, because of a dysfunctional and hard infancy, i'm not ill, but catharsis comes to free me, thank you Freud. Anthrax fuckin awesome!

    E.... ....

    Eylat u wrote this comment 3 years ago now how its going ?

  37. T.... B....

    ahhh... the Antrax classic here :)

  38. W.... ....

    No joey is the man

  39. 3.... ....

    I may be OLD but my MUSIC KICKS ASS!!!

  40. r.... ....

    Que buenisimo temaaaaaaaaaaa

  41. A.... L....

    Bush made thrax

  42. B.... ....

    BUSH is the MAN

  43. B.... ....

    My fucking theme song right here.

  44. C.... B....

    ANGELS IN MY HEART, DEVILS IN MY EYES!
