Exodus - The Ballad Of Leonard And Charles Lyrics
Lecherous inhuman monsters
Piteous crimes carried out
Patriarchs to the lunatic fringe
They venerate what has been done
They turned a small town in northern California
Devoid of all comprehension
The most vicious hateful part of man
[Chorus:]
Dragging their victims into lunacy
And putting it all on film
Wretched dregs of society
Killers of children
Rapists of women
Sado-sexual violence
Immoral killing with indifference
Aroused as your victims cry
Unjust pain they love to inflict
Breaking their souls, then their minds
Malevolent and rancid perversions
The outcome is always death
Bodies thrown down into a hole
Maggots consuming the flesh
[Chorus]
Fear-A macabre madness
Fiendish carnage with rabid butchery
Pain-sadistically tortured
Rejoicing in their victims slavery
Rape-forced violations
Malicious desecration of the thrall
Slave-depraved exploitation
A sickening anguish for them all
Sado-sexual violence
Sick-twisted rituals
Vile defiling of the enslaved
Lie-decimate aspirations abused
At the hands of the deranged
Kill-and slaughter the damned
With gruesome and heinous suffering
Death-merciless killing
With despicable and cruel agony
Sado-sexual violence
Excoriate the legal system
Exposing all of its flaws
One kills himself with cyanide
The other makes a mockery of the law
The act of killing eroticized
Dismissive to call you insane
Committed horrific and brutal crimes
Then laughing with total disdain
[Chorus]

Exodus The Ballad Of Leonard And Charles Comments
R.i.p paul baloff
Metallica hasn't been relevant in thrash since '88.
30 people thought this would be a slow ballad
Fucking Brilliant🖤😈
Brutality personified Dukes is the man no argument
morceau dément. incontournable.
Almost 10 years now since the release of this álbum, i remember all the Zetro widows complaining about Dukes' vocals and the length of exhibt A and B. Now all i can say Blood in Blood out doesn't even comes close to these albums and no persepctive of a new exodus on the way while Gary Holt selling out to slayer.
The big four should be Slayer, Exodus, Megadeth, and Overkill, get rid of anthrax and metallica
Fuckin masterpiece
Such an underrated masterpiece! The acoustic guitar sounds more metal than the song itself!
What a fuckin great brutal as fuck song.Love the classic exodus back up vocals.I'm a fan of both dukes and zetro.It's a different vibe either way and depending when you got into Exodus that will color opinion.Love pleasures of the flesh and fabulous disaster albums.
You don’t know what Exodus brings to friendship!
-Charles Ng
Nice fucking music
Awesome classical intro then super awesome metal 🤘
Powerful
Exodus has awesome intros
this album is the best of the new era of exodus and i think a litle underated.the riffs the solos the production there all top leve of epic thrash
kostas Hitchens don't forget the lyrics

I fucking love this band dukes is the man
great acoustic guitar
What a fucking metal tone should be!!!!!
ROB FUCKING DUKES !!!
Damn Dukes just gives 110% here! I really think they took a giant step backwards going back to Souza. I mean they were building massive steam as the premier brutal thrash metal masters and I think people were warming up to Dukes and then they switch again. Now they have Souza, and no Holt or Hunolt. Solo's suck, brutality is down, no good melodic solos from Hunolt to balance out the campieness of the funnier Exodus Souza era songs. At least get Rick back if Gary's gonna be on permanent tour. This latest version is a mess and Souza did not do the new songs justice. Listening to the Dukes demos makes me sad of what could have been.
The ballad of Brian and Kevin! jajaj
The ballad of Yenni and Yesica
The Ballad of Tweek and Craig
3:25 that fuckin scream !!!
its not terribly hard to play but at the same time it is
i really miss dukes god this song i listen to this every day its my favorite metal song brutal and hard to play
Ridículo.
god damn this song makes me stand and applaud! This my friends is a heavy metal MASTERPIECE
without dudes, one of the best and more underrated records of exodus, rob is the best frontamt that exodus ever have, all credits for the master tom
In case this hasn't been pointed out before this song is about the serial killers: "Leonard Lake" and "Charles Ng." They were responsible for abducting, raping, torturing, robbing and killing many people mainly young girls.
Ye, this album had a pretty dark theme anyway.
They should've kept Rob. Never really liked Souza.
Apertura dei loro recenti concerti!!
epici come sempre
Bist du Deutscher?
1:53 fuck \m/
serial killers right??
I kill the 13 dislikes
the ballad of Ednaldo Pereira and mc Carlos do Sumaré
+Ulisses Batista Tinha que ter um por aqui uahsuahsuasuhas
Let's build a wall and make America great again
KKKKKKKKKKK
They should've kept Rob.
true story, it was the only reason I started listening to them :s
Heard some of their old stuff and wasnt impressed at all, didn't like the sound, didn't like the singing. I stuck to Slayer. 15 years later someone suggests on Youtube to check Tempo of the damned if I want to get into them. I was hooked form the first song.
Yes. Should have
Damn, Dukes was so great with them. I saw them on the co-headlining tour they did with Anthrax, and they opened with this song. That was the hardest I've ever moshed in my life.
satanic....
Not really tbh
Listen to mayhem and gorgoroth if you want satanic bands
+Claudio Rengifo I never really understood how you fools got here.
More like human.
BEST GODDAMN INTRO EVER!!
it starts beatiful, then powerfull killer, its just perfect
1:54 the reason why i always listen to this song, lol \m/
The ending is pretty fkn killer too
kind of Pantera'ish sound of guitar, reminds me CoH? Still rocks !!!!! \m/
Exodus.best thrash band ever. period, no discussion.
I personally prefer megadeth, but exodus comes damn close and i have to admit they stayed true to thrash unlike megadeth or metallica
I get it. thank God its not either or... its and!
@Evan Lafferty testament... Sorry they take the cake. Also can someone lead me to some of their good songs, new to this whole exodus thing
@Julian Valeri as far as newer Exodus I always liked the Shovel head album. Raze is my favorite song off that album. I'd say it's more heavy than thrash though.
@Julian Valeri start with their 1st album Bonded by Blood
DAMN 04:04
Amazing song
I miss Dukes
Damn , me too Dukes fit the band so well.
+Clayton Gold
I agree man, Dukes was so aggressive, such an epic vocalist
Clayton Gold rob was made for play in exodus
Wtf...4.04 that's awesome trash
Too all the people who had a problem with the length (songs too long) of this record , you can all relax , the new one is going to be filled with short songs . So we can expect a 30 to 40 minute album, great , I waited 4 years for a half hour of music . I personally preferred 72 minutes of epic thrash.
The Human Condition is long and boring? WTF!!!
And the new album is the first one to have Kirk Hammet recorded on it
@Lauritz Andersen You meant long and incredible.
Sorry to disappoint you, but no.
Great song!
Don't focus too much on the music structure . Just understand the message of brutalism and imagine yourself became leonard and charles victim like them who were kidnapped and tortured without being known by anyone nearest .. .
Iwan Sevana why not both
Iwan Sevana and add the fing heavy riffs to that.
Geez.
I love it!!!!!!!
Fucking awesome song
Best Thrash Metal band ever !
greatest riff of all.
@3:24, let the headbanging begin.
SOLO THE BEST!
Nice track.
Exodus the best band of all Time
I love Exodus, their sound is great, each individual musician is always great, their riffs and solo's are great, but the songs are always twice as long as they're supposed to be. There's just not enough material in this song to make it a 7+ minute long song. I think it's boring. I prefer my thrash metal songs very short, powerful and dynamic... Rather than long, stretched and repetitive.
Disc I disagree. Ever hear a badass song and think "shit, this is waaaay too short, it needs to be twice as long"? That's every Exodus song, so I'm cool with 7+ minutes.
Too bad ur wrong.
Fuck Metallica.
Personally I'd swap Exodus for Metallica any day of the week into the BIG 4. Yes I love the early Metallica work, but as far longevity and their commitment to thrash, I certainly think this band deserve their place amongst the elite for sticking to the roots of thrash metal and power. The BIG 4 was made up a long time ago for being the best of their genre at the time. But styles and genres have changed so much since then I believe that a change to fit modern times is necessary. IMO of course,
Murdered men, children and female sex slaves!
excellent,see you in old skull metal bar in istanbul ......... exodus rulessssssssssssssssss
I used to think Master of Puppets was the perfect metal song, but this song now reigns. It has it all- great accoustic guitar, dramatic intro, crushing riffs, tight insane drums, brutal vocals, great lyrics, a cool break down in the middle, tempo changes, classic twin attack solos with harmonies. Perfect thrash metal song. The entire album is outstanding and this song is the perfect intro.
And if we wanted to learn how to create sentences, then we would have gone to school, gotcha.
I would buy this album too if Brazil's taxes wasn't so abusive. I would have to pay R$ 50 for it. It's money, dude. Nevertheless I keep buying albums and stuff of bands I like...
it's the outro of bedlam 1-2-3! ^^
BEST BAND ACTUALLY DOIN GREAT THRASH
Neogeofanatic ? No?
\,,/(^_^)\,,/
grow up
celebrate the downfall. embrace your extinction. the sins of our fathers are only exceeded by mans desire to see the virgin raped. the new building razed. the pacifist blow out someones brains with a shotgun. the priest get addicted to child pornography.
morals dont matter
keep your heads down..
BE HOSTILE
mañana los voy a ver!
One of the Freakin best Introductions to any song!
when this song kicks in and fades away from the awesome acoustic shit at the start the whole thing is like being punched in the face repeatedly, you know you cant escape the adrenaline rush your gonna get, you know its not going away any time soon and you know that once its over you'll be left with a bruise that will last a lifetime. 20 years from now if i ever have kids im gonna be blasting this while my wife squeezes the kid out her vaj. man i love whiskey1
I think so...
that's something for real!
Not so much in metal music,but this totaly kicks asses
All people talk about the music, but no one says something about the crazy lyrics. Are the deeds of Leonard Lake and Charles Ng very famous in the USA?
LA PTM EXODUS PATEA CULOS !!!
saludos desde Mexico !
That intro is badass!
@emjcohen yeah i agree
EXODUS!!!!!!! \M/ >< \M/
aguante exodus esto le patea el orto a metallica y megadeth, la re concha de los posers!!! viva el verdadero thrash!!!
Gaara Biersack Sixx Death Angel es mil veces mejor.
AGUANTE EXODUS CONCHETUMARE! VIVA CHILE!
this album reminds me Old School days
fuckin amazing
- Exodus is the best Thrash-Band in the World -
total aggressive, fucking rules ! ! !
What I hate about watching Thrash videos here in YouTube is that a large percentage of the comments are just about bashing other bands, can't you just enjoy all of the bands instead of comparing? I still hope that there are open-minded metalheads around...
@megasharkify united abdominations and endgame were great albums you can bash on metallica all you want
@metalhealth1980 slayer are the best mainstream thrash metal band
@scenekidacide no he doesn't
2 people need Leonard and Charles in their lives!
the music is great, but seriously exodus really have to call steve souza and have him do vocals again rob dukes sucks ass he sounds like a metalcore singer.
scenekidacide Fuck off dukes is the man
what a beatiful song :)
2 people got shot stabbed read to shot some more and shot again, the blown up twice.
@Lefters666 personally i think the big four should be, overkill, testament, kreator, and exodus. slayer is okay.
