Exodus - Beyond The Pale Lyrics






Sinners heart can't think or feel
The sharp sting of slicing steel
Punish, kill, repeat
The death caress, so bittersweet
I live outside the rule of law
My one decree is shock and awe
Black sheep of my kind
Progeny of hate refined

[Pre-chorus:]
Suffering spreads like the plague
Reasons why, still oh so vague
The siren song of slaughter summons me
To inner demons I succumb
I know not that which I've become
Exhibit A in man's atrocity

Take the gun, take the knife
Take the pain, then take the life
My taste for homicide
Is rising up and amplified
Bloody deeds, my only friend
With me til the bitter end
Together we are one
And our work has just begun

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus:]
Plea for mercy
To no avail
Killers of my kind live
Beyond the pale
In this world of mine
They say I don't belong
Something that feels so right
Could never be so wrong
Plea for clemency
You're wasting time
My routine
Is the scene of the crime
I make the Devil laugh
And Angels wail
Forever I will reside
Beyond the pale

Heartless bastard cold as ice
Victim of my own device
The strong prey on the weak
Dead men, they never speak
All part of man's condition
On this path to our perdition
We kill along the way
Death never takes a holiday

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

Exodus Beyond The Pale Comments
  1. B.... ....

    That closing solo...MY GOD!!

  2. J.... G....

    Gary Holt is as brilliant as ever

  3. F.... 2....

    Those albums I mean both Exhibits are the peak of late Exodus

  4. R.... V....

    I saw them in a club in NOLA. Size of your living room. Gary fucking Holt tearing your face off in your living room. So fuck off. Hahaha

  5. S.... D....

    MotherFucker Song, this is EXODUS

  6. M.... B....

    Gary just about pulled that tremelo right off the guitar

  7. r.... m....

    they should have kept rob dukes a and b. are the best b no doubt

  8. D.... S....

    Soothing.

  9. T.... A....

    Beg for mercy to no avail

  10. j.... p....

    IF IT"S EXODUS I LOVE IT NO MATTER WHOSE SINGING IT"S EVOLUTION!!!

  11. C.... S....

    Incomparably better than any other AMERICAN THRASH band. Even Slayer is so poor comparing to EXODUS. Not mention about very mediocre Megadeth , Metallica.
    EXODUS and Kreator are the GREATEST THRASH bands in the world

    C.... S....

    Claudio Softez all the other major thrash bands, they simply pale in comparison. These albums with Rob Dukes are ridiculously heavy and more explosive and all the rest, Testament is the only one who still retains this heavy aggressive Style. These albums just sounds so much more Fierce and powerful than anything from Metallica or Slayer or Anthrax or any of the other major thrash bands

    C.... S....

    Megadeth may not be a all time thrash metal band, but you can't call them mediocre they might be the most technical thrash metal band. It's a shame that people can only appreciate Exodus by dissing other bands

    C.... S....

    This should have been Slayer's natural evolution.

    C.... S....

    Needless hate dude. Just needless hateful namedropping. I'm a fan of all these bands and they're all just amazing. Don't compare them. It's not 1985

  12. k.... M....

    Take the gun, take the knife
    Take the pain, then take the life

  13. F.... D....

    Now this is what you call metal my friends Fucking awesome

  14. h.... ....

    damn. that guitar tone is sick. lee and Gary nailed the guitar tone here. so much brutal

  15. T.... T....

    This song has been My favorite since the first time i heard it! Everything in it is just perfect! I Love these longer songs Their just so freaking more epic than the shorter ones

  16. L.... L....

    Is it me, or does Exodus sound like a different band with Rob Dukes? AWESOME SONG!

    L.... L....

    I know right, so much more aggressive and diverse

    L.... L....

    1000 times better with Rob Dukes.

    L.... L....

    Claudio Softez Exhibit A and B are the absolute greatest and most intense thrash metal albums of all time

    L.... L....

    Heavier and tighter. I got hooked with Tempo of the damned. Then I heard the Rob Dukes albums and was blown away.
    The ol stuff sound to me as raw and unpolished like ole Testament stuff, a bit boring, a few good riffs here and there. No wonder Mtallica, Megadeth and Slayer were the shit back then. They had the best music and the best sound. Overkill, Testament, Exodus - they all matured through the years to finally become the trash kings they are now, while Metallica, Megadth and Slayer just burned or ran out.

    L.... L....

    Yes it does, specially after Lee joined too! There's a lot of that Heathen vibe in the songs! Really awesome.

  17. c.... b....

    Bang your head..!! 🎸🎶

  18. I.... D....

    I hear changing of the guard in the first 40 seconds or so

  19. c.... s....

    Ha...this sounds like Dark Angel circa Darkness Descends, cool vocals, like a primed up Doty.

  20. A.... F....

    brutal thrash metal at some of its best

  21. p.... A....

    goood sONg

  22. t.... h....
