Body Count - Raining In Blood / Postmortem 2017 Lyrics






[Interviewer:]
Ice! Explain Body Count.

[Ice-T:]
Body Count is a band I put together just to let one of my best friends Ernie C play his guitar. He's always been playing guitar, we all went to Crenshaw High School together in South Central Los Angeles. And I had the idea of let's make a metal band, let's make a rock band, 'cause I had been to Europe and I noticed that the kids would mosh off of hip-hop. So we put the band together and I used the three bands that were my favourites at the time to set the tone. We used the impending doom of a group like Black Sabbath, who pretty much invented metal; the punk sensibility of somebody like Suicidal, who basically put that gangbanger style from Venice, California into the game; and the speed and the precision of Slayer, one of my favourite groups and always will be.

Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquisition

The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone

Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, now ornaments bleeding above

Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away

Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure I now reign in blood

My sinful glare at nothing holds thoughts of death behind it
Skeletons in my mind commence tearing at my sanity
Vessels in my brain carry death until my birth
Come and die with me forever
Share insanity

Do you want to die?

The waves of blood are rushing near, pounding at the walls of lies
Turning off my sanity, reaching back into my mind
Non-rising body from the grave showing new reality
What I am, what I want, I'm only after death

    My local rock stations promos run something like "Join us Friday night for the best in rock, punk, heavy metal, and old school hip hop." I don't know a single metal head that won't throw down with Ice T. \m/ Someone nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize.

    they were influenced by black sabbath slayer and suicidal tendencies . how can this band go wrong?

  25. N.... M....

    Yeah man Ice-T or Body Count, are some badass, well-rounded musicians. I bet, if they got the notion to do it, could cover Hank Williams Jr. and sound fucking amazing covering him.

  52. S.... o....

    Always thought Ice T was "just another rapper". Then THIS video dropped on me. I was glued to the edge of my seat, diggin' the metal. Had no freakin' CLUE! Instant fan. Went out a bought a Body Count world tour tee shirt! Willie is a gas. Imagine bumping into him at a coffee shop. "What do you do for work"? "I'm a lead guitarist in a heavy metal band", would NOT be the answer I was expecting!

  53. S.... W....

    This is great

  54. R.... P....

    How about doing something original, he can't, copy cat bitch.

  55. R.... F....

  62. F.... F....

    Body Count, MUTHA FUCKAAAH!

  63. S.... M....

    This is effin awesome!!

  64. J.... J....

    I remember when Ice-T and slayer did a song together on the Judgment Night soundtrack way back in early to mid 90's. All of the songs were rap and metal mixes with famous groups.

  65. w.... c....

    I call appropriation 😂😂😂😂

  66. A.... O....

    O cover mais lindo que vi na minha vida!

  67. E.... A....

    Great , Greta, Best. So Great. The Best Hip Hop on The Best Band of Thrash Metal Body Count and Slayer.

  68. b.... j....

    I hate this guys voice even when he talks sounds like a ignorant bitch just like ice cube why cant they just go away

  69. S.... C....

    Slaytanic recording.

    Snowflakes beware, Slayer & Body Count fills the air.

  70. A.... H....

  74. A.... H....

    When the brothers do Slayer better than Slayer! Hells to the yes

    A.... H....

    What??!! Never, imitated but never duplicated, they did nail it tho but come on man

  75. R.... E....

    Fucking awesome

  76. E.... V....

    wah mantab bang

  77. S.... V....

    Why does Ice T’s voice remind me of James Hetfeild a little bit? Might be because of my headphones but when he first started on Raining Blood I wasn’t expecting this.

  78. N.... T....

    I never realized I needed to hear T cover this until now.

  79. N.... x....

    i respect ice-t and body count

  80. d.... ....

    Suicidal Tendencies weren't punk...they are thrash metal. Any true metal head and punker knows that!

  81. R.... S....

    They did a great job.

  82. G.... V....

    Slayed it!!

  83. D.... ....

    A whole new meaning to Blackened Thrash. Although it's thrash metal but i'm sure you guys get the joke

  84. r.... m....

    Wrong lyrics

  85. P.... S....

    it s raining blood

  86. J.... ....

    Acquisition? It's acquiescence.

    J.... ....

    It's ammunition

    J.... ....

    @Daniel Treadwell nope.

  87. v.... d....

    glorious

  88. J.... B....

    2.1K people ain't metal.

  89. J.... R....

    the looks on the drummer's face and the intensity of the singer during Postmortem....That is exactly what SLAYER does to you!! Undeniable every time you hear it.

  90. R.... V....

    \m/ He'll yeah!

  91. S.... ....

    "Raining in blood".????? wtf...its Raining Blood

  92. s.... Z....

    The best Slayer cover ever

  93. C.... A....

    Ernie C is a crossover thrash/punk legend \m/

  94. C.... L....

    Supremo!

  95. C.... E....

    unexpected metal greatness, saw them live at wacken this year \m/

  96. D.... D....

    ´ IIIICE !!!!! Explain how a bunch of bros are able to spontaneously plug in in the studio and play Slayer songs much more aggressively/convincingly than the latter have for the last couple years ? `

  97. F.... S....

    I showed this to my ex when we were still dating and it completely blew her mind that Ice T was a metalhead and had a band

  98. T.... ....

    So cool!
