Venom - Heaven's On Fire Lyrics






You think your soul is nice
You've lived in paradise
So now you take the stand
You want to hold your master's hand
You think your soul is free
Look up and you'll see me
The pearly gates ablaze
The Angels bear the Zombies gaze

Heaven's on fire
And there ain't nothing you can do
Heaven's on fire
And when you die you'll go there too

The Angels live their death
No there ain't nothing left
The clowns of God despise
But torment renders no disguise
The skies a blazing tomb
Plenty sorrow plenty doom
They battle living sin
The souls of God can't hope to win

Heaven's on fire
And there ain't nothing you can do
Heaven's on fire
And when you die you'll go there too

If God is so almighty
Then why is he enslaved
In heaven's hell by Satan
The universe his slave

Satan rides the skies
Look up you'll see his eyes
Disguised as endless stars
To keep an eye on endless wars
Do you believe in God
He's chained up like a dog
And every hour he screams
Satan rules supreme

Heaven's on fire
And there ain't nothing you can do
Heaven's on fire
And when you die you'll go there too

We're gonna burn this place to the ground

    fuck heaven!

  22. O.... I....

    how can it be thrash when it pre-dates thrash? lmao It's Black metal, as no one had this sound. Also, bands that were influenced by Venom called themselves Black metal as well.

    O.... I....

    It's absolutely both. There's no contradiction here. Different styles can overlap and bleed into each other. More to the point, this is from an era before the extreme metal subgenres were really defined. In 1982, there weren't these clear lines between "black metal," "thrash," "death metal," and whatever else that we have today. Those genres have had 30+ years to grow in their own directions and establish a distinctive sound for themselves. That wasn't the case when Venom were recording their classic albums. We lumped all these old bands into different subgenres and movements LATER, in hindsight. "Black metal" wasn't a thing when Venom were recording this album -- there was just fast, ugly, Satanic metal, and then at some point we decided that a certain kind of fast, ugly, Satanic metal would be called "black metal" while other kinds of fast, ugly, Satanic metal got called "thrash" or "death metal" or whatever.

    O.... I....

    Venom were the original extreme metal band. And everything else, thrash, black, and death, were influenced by them.

    O.... I....

    This is Speed/Black Metal

    O.... I....

    Lol what do you mean pre-dates? Venom started put out albums right in the beginning of thrash. They’re one of the thrash founders while also being black metal precursors because if anything it REALLY pre-dates black metal

    O.... I....

    This IS Thrash! I was there. How could this be 'Black Metal'? The term didn't spring to life as soon as the album came out. Just like Possessed are Thrash even though they originated the phrase 'Death Metal'.

  23. A.... ....

    back in the days ( 70's - 80's ) they were call Black metal due to their album tittled " Black Metal " but also they were part of the NWOBHM , until the sound of the 90's Extreme Black Metal kicked in ! D: but for me ,this sounds more thrashy ... many old school 80's metal bands were too damn fucking fanatics of Venom and still !

  24. J.... P....

    N.W.O.B.H.M.*

  25. W.... a....

    Sir........ um kindly go die.

    THE BEST BATTLES ARE TO TALK IN RESPECTFUL WAYS MAYBE SOME FIGHTS .

  30. S.... ....

    Why don't you take your own advice and don't tell me how to enjoy music. Can you spell hypocrite? Probably not seeing as how you can't construct a proper sentence. Sure genres are here, and so are sweatshops and people like you, it doesn't mean I have to like it. Now piss off.

  31. S.... ....

    ...and I don't like it. Get over it.

  32. s.... d....

    this is trendsetter to ALL:BLACK METAL letss never forget them

  33. T.... ....

    Black, Thrash, Speed, and Death Metal at its routes.

  34. t.... ....

    Venom is the only Black Metal band. All the other Cult War Paint bands can find their own name.

  35. J.... M....

    @ThazuaBlackarrow Sunderlanding is such a fucking fool! he's obviously a loser troll - no one can be that inept about music.

  36. D.... ....

    In my opinion it's are Heavy Metal (NWOBHM).

  37. H.... C....

    @popoazzul Thrash*

  38. O.... ....

    Black metal?? Is Trash Metal!!!1

  39. m.... ....

    sounds like motorhead with other singer xD

  40. P.... ....

    @MrWankata I think more speed than thrash.

  41. S.... ....

    @ThazuaBlackarrow Exactly my point. When you label something you put pre-concieved notions into the listeners head. There is no reason to call any style anything except music. The only reason is because you're more into the image than actually just listening to music. Why else would you need to find only Black Metal bands over and over?

  42. S.... ....

    @ThazuaBlackarrow Why do you have to have another Black Metal band to listen to? If there is another band that sounds similar, don't know why you'd want that, and is kick ass then you'll discover them as you search for good music anyway, so why do you have to jump right into one style? And really, wouldn't it do to call all these bands Metal. Why do we need the Black part? People can decide for themselves who sounds similar to Bathory. You're just being stupid with your over categorizing.

  43. S.... ....

    @ThazuaBlackarrow Why do you need to find a Black Metal band? Why does anyone have to find a style of music? If it's good music who cares what genre it is? The only reason is so people can say "yea I want to be into Black Metal, so I'm going to go find some and then I'll be legit". These people are morons and aren't really fans of music. If you truly like music it doesn't really matter the genre, because you like music. Otherwise you're just image obsessed. Just go listen to music, all music!

  44. S.... ....

    @ThazuaBlackarrow Why do we need to categorize them? Can't you tell if you like something by listening to it? Especially with the interenet this is a very easy process. If you live inside genres you are limiting your musical exposure. More stations should just play whatever, and concerts likewise. I'm sick of going to a metal show, and they won't book certain bands because it has to be a progressive-melodic-tech-post-grindcore show. Who cares?

  45. K.... E....

    Haha, his voice! It's so fucking hardcore dude!

  46. d.... s....

    fucking Thrash!!!

  47. J.... S....

    does any one else kindah hear hit the lights on this song?

  53. I.... C....

    Greatest Venom album!!!!! \m/

  54. �.... �....

    is this black metal? sounds a little like thrash

  55. S.... ....

    @Xmault Why?

  56. J.... M....

    @Sunderlanding You think all music has good in it, that's beyond ignorance - It's foolishness.

  57. S.... ....

    @Xmault That's not what I was saying. Not all music has some good in it, but all styles or genres have some good. If you can't see that you're ignorant.

  58. J.... M....

    Xmault's back, Bitches!

  59. J.... M....

    @Sunderlanding Obviously people are gonna dislike the certain styles of music, disproving your previous claim that "If you are a true music fan you will find some good in all music." There is not "Good" in all music, believe it or not - some music is utterly shit. If you believe in that backwards philosophy then you truly are musically inept, unable to comprehend the very core understanding of the universe - Some things are just as they appear; in some cases there is no unforeseen talent. POSER!

  60. J.... M....

    @GrizCC No, I merely made him realize how stupid he was sounding.

  61. J.... M....

    @Sunderlanding I see you're still spouting the same old shit, why don't you go back to grade school and get somewhat of an education you annoying little poser. Obviously understanding music in beyond your child-like mind. Your "You must like all music or you aren't a true fan." argument is utterly retarded.

    Your arguments are totally invalid and have absolutely no shred of truth behind them. You're clearly inexperienced in music and thus, should shut up about it. Get a GF you musical noob. =)

  62. J.... M....

    @VindictivePheasant Better to let that retarded little illiterate think he's won; opposed to having him not reading your comments, replying to you with the same old retarded shit over and over. Take my word for it., it's not worth it man. His one-sided, childish mind can't comprehend that some people don't like certain styles of music.

    "You must like ALL music or you aren't allowed to call yourself a music fan!!!" that's basically how his high school dropout mind works. He's a fucking poser. =)

  63. S.... ....

    @VindictivePheasant It's true. If you're a fan of music. You're a fan of music. Not "I only listen to Technical Melodic Death Metal". Just like if you're a fan of food you like all food, and not only grilled cheese sandwiches. Or didn't you get that far in school?

  64. S.... ....

    @Xmault You obviously don't even read your own posts. You already said you used word of mouth. There you go! Use that. Or better yet now that we have the iternet is it so hard to go listen to a couple of samples? This way people are active in what they discover rather than just blindly buying the latest black metal album because it's black metal. What a stupid way to go about listening to music.

  65. J.... M....

    @Sunderlanding Let me put it this way, if you removed the genre labels, how would you find the particular sound you're interested? I'm 19 and already know more about music than you, what does that tell you? maybe to stop acting so superior and fucking shut up about how people "shouldn't even bother placing bands in categories", even though it helps people find certain sounds and styles they're looking for.

    This shit is getting redundant, clearly I'm wasting my time teaching you about music.

    J.... M....

    Jason McGregor dweeb

  66. S.... ....

    @Xmault You've convinced yourself you don't like those genres, because you don't like the image associated with that genre. That's all there is too it. If country music was the one with all the dark imagry you would've been to every rodeo in the nation. You've bought into the genre world so much you don't even see that you're just attracted to the imagry and not the music.

  67. S.... ....

    @Xmault The vast majority. So not all? Then why would you care what section it's in? You might stumble upon the country band you will like and that will broaden you musical understanding. All genres do is give poser teenagers, like yourself, a chance to feel elitist, and they end up keeping people away from music more than bringing them to it. It's a stupid marketing gimick, and you're just too blind to realize this.

  68. J.... M....

    @Sunderlanding I trust word of mouth, if I hear a band is good, I listen to it, but I don't go out of my way to listen to bands and musicians in genres I have no interest in listening to e.g: Rap, Country and Pop. I don't like the sounds of these styles, there are a few exceptions, but I really dislike the sound that inhabits these categories.

  69. S.... ....

    @Xmault You know I'm right. The more genres you listen to, and the more you expose yourself to different forms of music, the more you'll know about music. It just makes sense. If you only listen to one style of music you'll be limited and close minded, and all the bands you think are so cool could be stealing licks and you wouldn't know it because all you know is the shit they put out. That's not to say you don't have a preference, everyone does, but you should never avoid a genre.

  70. J.... M....

    @Sunderlanding I'm saying the vast majority of bands in the Country genre will be hated by people that dislike Country music. The reason we have genres is to place particular sounds to a certain style, this is why the music category system is a good thing. Nothing more.

  71. J.... M....

    @Sunderlanding -that they do like, that's just retarded. Now, I've had enough of your arrogance thinking you know more about music then others, get over yourself you childish, brain damaged fool. I'm tired of proving you wrong; read my comments more carefully, learn about something before you act like you're knowledgeable about it and go listen to your Rap and Christian rock, leaving the comment section of awesome bands like Venom clean of your poser hate.

    Xmault!~

  72. S.... ....

    @Xmault If you avoid a genre because you claim to not like it your close minded. That's all there is to it. You are closing your mind off of a certain style. Therefore close minded, and you'll never be able to appreciate music as much as someone who does, because you'll only understand and be familiar with whatever handful of genres you've decided to accept. So someone may be stealing licks from classical and you wouldn't know if because you don't know shit about that style.

  73. S.... ....

    @Xmault Yes. I don't see how the topic, or presentation stops something from being good music. I listen to all those genres, granted some more than others, but I would never avoid music simply because of it's genre. That's completely close minded, and it'll make you an ignorant music listener.

  74. S.... ....

    @Xmault You don't need to like every genre. You don't even need to like music, but if you're a real music fan you don't get blinded by how something is presented. It doesn't matter if they have guitars or saxophones because your not listening to fullfill an agenda you're listening to the music, and if it's good music it's good music. Who cares if they have high or low vocals? That's something people who are obsessed with cultivating an image care about not real music fans.

  75. J.... M....

    @Sunderlanding It's an internet tern meaning 'you've been owned' you seriously need to stop posting these completely retarded comments, I never said I was a poser, that's a claim you (The true poser) made. You can't comprehend that some people don't like genres. Do you like Rap, pop, Metal, Country, Aleatoric , Techno,African,Blues, Caribbean, Children's, Classical, Electronic, Folk and Traditional, Jazz, Latin, March and every other style out there? if you say you do you're just a lying poser.

  76. J.... M....

    @Sunderlanding Dude, you're such an idiot. Why do people need to like something in every genre? you're such a pseudo intellectual. Claiming I'm stupid and don't know what I'm talking about, I'm not caught up in one style, I happen to like numerous styles of music, it's true my favorite genres are DM, BM, TM, SM, SWBM and PM but I like other styles of music besides metal.. FYI you were talking about every genre - meaning every band pinned to a genre. Learn to interpret writing you utter poser.

  77. S.... ....

    @Xmault Why wouldn't you listen to all the bands you can from the genre? Who cares what the genre is. Some bands have good and bad albums, so why wouldn't genres be the same? See it's this close minded attitude that will stop you from really enjoying music. Futhermore, what kind of poser says "pwned"? What are you a 12 year old girl.

  78. J.... M....

    @Sunderlanding We aren't talking about listening to a few songs of a certain band and then dismissing the whole genre. People that don't like a certain style of music obviously aren't going to keep listening to all the bands in that category. If they don't like then they don't like it. it's true most bands sound different, however, the reason they belong to particular genres is because they're very similar to numerous other bands. If they sounded different then they would form a new genre. Pwned

  79. S.... ....

    @Xmault Talk about can't read. When did I say every band? I guess you're too stupid to realize I was talking about every genre, and yes if you can't see some good in every GENRE of music then you aren't a real music fan you're just a stupid image fan who's too caught up in one scene to really appreciate music.

  80. S.... ....

    @Xmault People who outright dismiss a whole genre of music because the claim not to like it aren't real music fans. Usually the only people who behave this way are teenagers and musical ignoramuses. To listen to a couple songs on CMT and say you don't like country music is not only closeminded but idiotic. Imagine, just based on the stupid sub-genres of metal you and your poser friends came up with, how many different kinds of country there are! True music fans can find the good in any genre.

  81. S.... ....

    @Xmault That's what I was addressing moron. If you're going to dismiss a band because of what category it's in you're not really a music fan you're an image fan. Don't you get that you ignornat fuck! Who cares what category it's in, unless your more obsessed with the image than the music. So you go put on your little metal outfit and discuss the difference between post-grindcore and melodic death metal with your little poser friends, and I'll be here listening to real music.

  82. J.... M....

    @Sunderlanding You're obviously too stubborn and stupid to realize you've been defeated. Yes, I am a douche, I'm a personal hygiene product; nice catch, mate. Someone of your minuscule intellect level should avoid acting superior to others, because, quite honestly.. you're not capable of such an act.

    I'm not even going to bother reading your next comment, I'm afraid your innate stupidity will start to lower my IQ. I hate retarded Trolls like you, always trying to start fights online.

    Xmault!~

  83. J.... M....

    @Sunderlanding So, by your logic you aren't a music fan unless you like every single band and every one of their albums and songs? I was right, definitely a mental defect. Maybe you should stick to doing what you do best, not listening to metal. Let me explain this one last time.. someone might not like high pitched vocals, so they make a point of staying away from Black Metal; if there were no musical genres, they would be need listen to bands like Burzum to see what sort of sound it had.

  84. S.... ....

    @Xmault Real music fans don't dismiss music before they've heard it Mr. Douche.

  85. J.... M....

    @Sunderlanding Another thing, you seem to have sidetracked me from my original point, which was "Misplacing bands into the wrong category is BAD, because some people that haven't heard that band before might dismiss them straight away without giving them a chance" because unlike you Mr.Troll, the real metal fans; the ones that aren't retarded like yourself, understand that genres allow one to differentiate certain sounds/lyrics. Don't reply, I'd hate to have to verbally best you yet again.

  86. J.... M....

    Arrogance**

  88. J.... M....

    Jeez, are you mentally challenged or something Mr. Troll? Obviously you can't comprehend what the term 'genre' means let me explain it to you. A music genre is a categorical and typological construct that identifies musical sounds as belonging to a particular category and type of music that can be distinguished from other types of music.

    In other words, it labels bands with a particular sound. Unless you've listened to every band out there you've just proven your own ignorance and stupidity. 8D

  89. S.... ....

    @Xmault Actually some of us don't need genres to guide us. We just listen to music. All music. So it doesn't matter what you call it. I guess you need it to be named otherwise your little brain will get confused.

  90. J.... M....

    @Sunderlanding Actually, music genres place music and help us determine the sound and type of lyrics that band possess. Obviously you're the 14 year old that doesn't understand this fact. People that place bands in the wrong genre are ignorant but people like you who claim labels are just "stupid names" are even more ignorant and foolish. =)
