Machine Head - Blood For Blood Lyrics






I bite the hand 'cause this hand feeds off me
Devoid of emotion, it lives to cheat
Ignorance is bliss, and respect I gave you
Friend you did claim this
Too bad you can't speak the truth

[Chorus:]
Give respect
'Cause the rule is blood for blood

Beatings is what you'll inherit this time
Fast bait, your new name
Your pain is my shine
Pulverize and break
Determination
Pleasure I negate
Your pain brings me salvation

[Chorus]

I was born of tension
Anger came from frustration
I can't back down from aggression
Some hard knocks taught me this lesson

[Chorus]

  3. e.... ....

    It was 1998 and I was at Vincennes University. Wabash Valley College wasn't far away and had a 50k watt college radio station. I happened to tune in during an all request hour and they played this song. Rap metal was then dead to me and I followed the rabbit hole. Still a metal head at 40.

  4. S.... 3....

    Trump is an a hole

  5. j.... j....

    RIIFF A LO SLAYER..BRUTAL!!!!

  7. A.... A....

    This is one of the best thrash songs to come out in the 90s. In fact, it may be just the best one.

  8. L.... H....

    🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

  9. B.... E....

    considering this album almost ment the destruction of the band they are doing so great nowadays proving dont change who you are ;)

  10. C.... ....

  11. F.... M....

  13. E.... C....

    Long ass intro

  14. S.... ....

    DO NOT, under any circumstances, masturbate during this song. It´ll leave a mark, I tell you.

  15. C.... ....

    I think I just came!

  16. B.... J....

    Maybe if Rob went back and listened to this to recollect his memory of what good MH sounds like before the release of the next album, we won't have to suffer through another Catharsis catastrophe.

    B.... J....

    Brett Johnson Catharsis is a nice album, definitely better than some are saying, there are some great songs there.

    B.... J....

    kostas bousbouras I will agree to some extent in reference to some of the riffs on the album. The lyrics and singing on the other hand, not liking it. I’ve been a Head fan since the beginning so I will suffer through this and maybe the more I listen to it I might bend my opinion a bit. Got my tix for their LA show next month, so can’t say I don’t still support them.

    J.... L....

    CUZ MACHINE FUCKING HEAD!!!

  19. m.... ....

    Back in the day some idiots actually thought this was performed by Demon Hunter. That's actually how I got into this band through listening to demon Hunter and looking up Demon Hunter songs to download. I came across a song on Limewire or Bearshare one or the other called Demon Hunter - Blood for Blood then later saw it was actually by a band called Machine Head. This sounds nothing like Demon Hunter. Freaken retards.

    m.... ....

    Lmao! There was a lot of mp3 with wrong info back then!

  20. M.... P....

    Fuck! \m/ \m/

  21. C.... C....

    I was being held in the high security unit after being transferred for section 20/18 and the 1972 act during my time away after my sentence had lapse I was put under some nurses a couple head nurse in particular who were old pantera followers turn psychiatric nurse , so m in the dining room listening Davidian and the head one comes in, he like a real chip of Custer black a regular dickhead and tells me to turn of the Machinhead Burn My Eyes so I say No turn it down, he calls for his mate who is a shorter version of him who calls for back and they both tell me turn off the music or we’ll acuphase you and strait jacket you and well after that is ECT, so I conceded because I had already been on GOAD in jail before they transferred my to the HS unit, my point is how the eff dose this lass get me for the Cowboy From Hell? Oh yeah you stupid bitch Machine Head do not eat the reproductive fluids he the male reproductive system, you’re the evil modern ucnt that your job, you should die (Él tiene un polluelo del oriente Estaba hablando a levantarse a altas horas de la noche, se dice que un pene y sólo actúa como un idiota cuando está con sus compañeros de amor del sur , cuando está solo él como el perro domesticado , sabes que amo a las mujeres de piel roja de llegar a donde estoy)

    C.... C....

  27. Z.... E....

    1:38 Eargasm

  28. C.... W....

    Funny that, I know a white girl who does not realise how the Pantera things works being all domination, I personally don’t date white chicks per say, nor  do I listen to Pantera except  the odd track on race relations,   the whole mixed race agenda  thing, against integrated mixed race  destructive relationships that being in many cases white girls going out with black or even red skinned women at time or visa versa ,  though my mother is half-blood,  for me to date a white woman  it would have to be a religiously certified relationship leading to marriage with both family support,  so effectively very little chance, this local girl though  Yo quería en esta niña blanca en la cabeza con una botella de cerveza para incluso para dirigirse a mí y haciendo que todos demasiado engreído conmigo effing perra is part of the problem and opt the solution'

    C.... W....

    Yes I will do that now man I will be there to pick up the quote today or early tomorrow morning if you are able to to make a point if you want to come by tomorrow or tomorrow to pick it up there already and I will send it to him tonight or email it out tomorrow night you have a one time slot that works for me mang I can get the first one in the morning so I can do that for you guys to maybe take a look at it if you want

  29. b.... ....

    Anger management: you're doing it wrong!

  30. D.... H....

    Probably the heaviest song in this album

    D.... H....

    +Dillen Haywood No, that's probably either Davidian, A Thousand Lies, or The Rage to Overcome.

    D.... H....

    @TheJimger lol the whole album is pretty heavy

    D.... H....

    Dillen Haywood none but own or death church Imo. But it's all heavy as fuck anyway lol

    D.... H....

    On a album with Dividian, not could be heavyer.

    D.... H....

    which is saying something, considering this albums is Heavy as balls!

  31. R.... G....

    isnt this so much better than the crap theyre doin now? THIS IS PROOF YOUR SONGS DONT NEED TO BE 2 DAYS LONG ROBB!

    R.... G....

    @Natas Gipckuf Indeed! This is the best album!

    R.... G....

    @***** way to take a sarcastic exaggeration as a literal observation 

    R.... G....

    I agree that Burn My Eyes is their best album, but they're just as good as they were when they started. The Blackening was a fucking thrashterpiece, and was one of the best thrash albums of the 21st century. Unto the Locust and Bloodstone and Diamonds were both also very good thrash albums.

    R.... G....

    Their new songs are WAY better.

    R.... G....

    I imagine Metallica fans that loved Kill 'Em All said the same thing when they heard Master of Puppets.

  32. R.... ....

    1 2 3 4 GO !!
    Bambam bam bam bambambam

  33. R.... B....

    I downloaded this song from eMule as a Demon Hunter's song. Took me years to discover the true artist lol

    R.... B....

    Dude same! Downloaded it several years ago with the title Demon Hunter - Blood for Blood and took ages to find the song again because of that mistake haha

    R.... B....

    @Rod Beheader same.

  34. O.... a....

    fuckingggggggg wickedddd

  35. F.... W....

    MACHINE HEAD MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH !!!!!!!!!

  36. K.... ....

    2:15 is that a bear?

  37. C.... C....

    Ignorance is bliss & respect I gave you so that you could speak the tongue, totally hearing that rejection point

  38. p.... h....

    Makes me want to beat up a bully

  39. m.... ....

    When MH mattered, good times.

    m.... ....

    @mod2vids4u After The More Things Change and Logan left, I stopped listening to MH and i'm happy I did :)

    m.... ....

    @mod2vids4u if you say so. 

  40. D.... C....

    All i have to say is: HOLY FUCK!

  41. G.... ....

    It says in the description on the right hand side who the artist is, so all money made from adverts goes to that artists or record companies page even if their video/song is uploaded by another user.

  42. m.... ....

    Running ads for a song that's not yours? Classy.

  43. p.... g....

    I miss Cris Kontos

  44. C.... W....

    La Cabeza de la máquina o Pantera, Mecanizan Cabeza cada vez, ellos hablan la lengua. Metal de Oakland.

  46. M.... ....

    Love this album.
