Anthrax - I Am The Law Lyrics






Fifteen years in the academy
He was like no cadet they'd ever seen
A man so hard, his veins bleed ice
And when he speaks he never says it twice
They call him Judge, his last name is Dredd
So break the law, and you may wind up dead
Truth and justice are what he's fighting for
Judge Dredd the man, he is the law
DROKK IT

With his gun and bike he rules the streets
And every perp he meets will taste defeat
Not even Death can overcome his might
Cause Dredd and Anderson, they won the fight
When the Sov's started the Apocalypse war
And Mega-city was bombed to the floor
Dredd resisted, and the judges fought back
And crushed the Sov's with their counter-attack
DROKK IT

[PRE-CHORUS:]
Respect the badge - he earned it with his blood
Fear the gun - your sentence may be death
because ...

[CHORUS:]
I AM THE LAW
And you won't fuck around no more - I AM THE LAW
I judge the rich, I judge the poor - I AM THE LAW
Commit a crime I'll lock the door - I AM THE LAW
Because in Mega-City ...
I AM THE LAW

In the cursed earth where mutants dwell
There is no law, it's just a living hell
Anarchy and chaos as the blood runs red
But this would change if it was up to Dredd
The book of law is the bible to him
And any crime committed is a sin
He keeps the peace whith his law-giver
Judge, jury, and executioner
DROKK IT

[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]
[REPEAT CHORUS]

[BRIDGE:]
CRIME - the ultimate sin
Your Iso-Cube is waiting when he brings you in
LAW - it's what he stands for
Crime's his only enemy and he's going to war

[LEAD BREAK]

[REPEAT BRIDGE]
[REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]
[REPEAT CHORUS]

    Charlie Benante is a percussion metal god. And S.O.D. was a founder of metalcore.

    L.... M....

    lol no sod wasnt

    L.... M....

    @James O Yes they we're. No percussionist was faster than Benante until the metalcore style came around. And the balls-out in-your-face style of the band and sound still crush today!

    L.... M....

    @Louie McClellan There were way faster and more technical drummers than him even before "metalcore". Metalcore came from influences of At the Gates and bands like Hatebreed mixed together into one genre. Not SOD.

    L.... M....

    @James O Dude, I am not going to argue musical composition with you. I am a percussionist and live, eat and breath metal.

  15. 1.... ....

  79. J.... F....

  80. �.... �....

    Единственная тема в их исполнении.в целом-группа неудачная. С ними в далеком 1981-ом стартовали Metallica и Slayer.

  81. T.... g....

    Prepare to be judged... I am the Law!

  82. 1.... b....

    Vocals make me barf holy fuck you cant like this shit. If joey was dead they would be a better band. Riffs are cool tho. Not even top 10thrash metal band of all time

  83. P.... R....

    Anthrax metal

  84. A.... V....

    Thrash *IS* metal. Period. No discussion required. I grew up in the 80s, where metal took root. Megadeth, Metallica before they sold out, Slayer, Anthrax. Saw them live. Megadeth 3 times.

    A.... V....

    Of course

  85. D.... ....

    Trying to make killer thrash on the Justice System? That's twenty years creep!

  86. G.... L....

    I am the law

  87. �.... �....

    Ну и вокал для такой музыки! Да и манер исполнения....как коля басков.

  88. P.... L....

    It sounds like two people that are twins, or just met and clicked between that guitar and drums

  89. �.... �....
