Эта команда из Сан-Франциско была одним из пионеров стиля трэш, но ввиду кадровых проблем и некоторых других причин не смогла достичь высот, которые освоили их коллеги по жанру "Metallica" и "Megadeth". Группа была основана в 1982 году барабанщиком Томом Хантингом, гитаристами Кирком Хамметтом и Гэри Холтом, а завершили комплектование состава вокалист Пол Балоффи бас-гитарист Джефф Эндрюс. В течение нескольких месяцев "Exodus" зарекомендовали себя с самой лучшей стороны – их демозаписи расходились с завидной скоростью, а концерты давали убойный заряд энергии. Однако уже в 1983 году коллектив потерял статус лидера из-за того, что Хамметт ушел в "Metallica"

1. Bonded By Blood

black magic rites on this black evil night
begin with the slice of the blade
metal and blood come together as one
onlookers they gasp in dismay
taste the sweet blood of one another
sharing without any greed
bang you head as if up from the dead
intense metal is all that you need

murder in the front row
crowd begins to bang
and there's blood upon the stage
bang you head against the stage
and metal takes its price
bonded by blood

metal takes hold death starts to unfold
it's loud like the worlds at an end
your in a blood fury the metal won't stop
onlookers they bang at command
cutting your palm and drinking your blood
the power that few others dare
you feed the need to go out and kill
the same need that your blood brother shares

murder in the front row crowd begins to bang
and there's blood upon the stage
bang your head against the stage
and metal takes its price
bonded by blood


2. Exodus

it starts with life, a way to live
I love the sound of pain
the more it hurts the better I feel
the world will fall insane
it comes to me late late at night
when I feel like being cruel
whip out the chains and get the knife
and slay some innocent fool

get in our way and we're going to take your life
kick in your face and rape and murder your wife
plunder your town your homes they'll burn to the ground
you won't hear a sound until my knife's in your back
the exodus attack

the filthy sound of death and pain
brings pleasure that I need
the rotting hide the burning flesh
the smell and I agree
bloody corpse makes me feel great
painkiller in my life
cut bare flesh to the bone
use a rusty knife

get in our way and we're going to take your life
kick in your face and rape and murder your wife
plunder your town your homes they'll burn to the ground
you won't hear a sound until my knife's in your back
and the exodus attack

buzzards eat as well as worms
nature s death machines
pin you on the desert floor
now you re hell's cuisine
I tell you all it's the way to live
get stronger on death glory
infringing on sacrificial rites
death's your final story


3. And Then There Were None

wars coming start running
eyes blinded by the nuclear blast
hearts beating retreating
all around are bodies burned to ash
children crying and people dying
no salvation from this holocaust
bodies burning and now their learning
in war painful death's the bloody cost

life ends in sin
god cries world dies

and then there were none
the world starts to burn
the world powers learn
tha satans work is done

wheels grinding the glare's blinding
bullets flying all around your head
tanks crushing and soldiers rushing
if you live you'll wish that you were dead
stop praying there's no saving
no salvation from your fiery grave
brains swelling bodies smelling
and satan comes to see that no one's saved


4. A Lesson In Violence

if you got something to say
then come my way
i'm guarded by satan
i'm riding on baphomet
i'll teach you a lesson in violence
you won't soon forget

the pleasure of watching you
is whati will get

fight - for what you believe to be right
crushing with all your might
I laugh at their pitiful cries
they run from the fire in my eyes

nothing can save them now

you've learned a lesson in violence
get on your knees and bow
or learn a lesson in violence
I love to stab my victims
until they're dead
a knife to the throat
or a smashing blow to the head
i'm judge and jury
my sentence has just been passed
step into the circle of hell
if you think you can last

fight for what you believe to be right
crushing with all your might
I laugh at their pitiful cries
they run from the fire in my eyes

nothing can save them now
you've learned a lesson in violence
get on your knees and bow
or learn a lesson in violence


5. Metal Command

your gathered here tonight
to heed our metal. cry
obeying all. our wills
all others you defy
a wall of sonic sound
with amps turned up to ten
our legions are advancing
to battle once again

fists are in the air. banging everywhere
thrashing to the sound faces melting down
it s time to fight for metal tonight
bangers take your stand and obey
our metal command

we go from town to town
and leave a trail of death
and if you don't surrender

you'll breathe you final breath
there will be no survivors
no prisoners of war
join our ranks or perish

we'll slice you to the core

fists are in the air thrashing everywhere
banging to the sound, faces melting down
it s time to fight for metal tonight
bangers take your stand and obey
our metal command

our legions show no mercy
the final hour nears
sonic blast deafening
it's ripping through your ears
there is no retribution
for those who do not dare
there's only execution
your dead without a prayer


6. Piranha

slicing jaws a way of life
brought up to waste mankind
loki's pets his little children
deadly eyery time

trapped in swamps by gates of hell

don't ever: let them out
for if you do and they escape
you'll fight a bloody bout

piranha kill in a pack - you'll run
piranha start to attack - you'll done
if you think you can beat - deadly school
if you think you can live - vou're a fool

gates of hell are old and cracked
they tumble and they fall
out rush a bloody wall of death
to kill anything at all
their sole mission is t0 kill
strip your bones and flesh
rip out your eyes tear off your face
an agonizing death

piranha kill in a pack - you'll run
piranha start to attack - you're done
if you think you can beat - deadly school
if you think you can live - you're a fool


7. No Love

come into my home
black master rules the night
see the power start to surge
upon a hellish sight
it's time to raise them up
up from below the grave
white bones glow savagery
provide the light we crave

turn to look at baphomet
from below and not above
welcome to my sacrifice
tonight there'll be no love

the darkness is my lover
she makes he feel strong
take what I wamt, when I want
at night I do no wrong
when I walk the streets:
got loki on my side
slit your throat, drink your blood
who cares when others die

turn to look at baphomet
from below and not above
welcome to my sacrifice
tonight there'll be no love

you thought you'd live for oh 50 long
now it's your turn to die
live with satan down in hell
born to forever cry
took your life I don't feel bad
born to live in hell
died for nothing. slow decay
your body starts to smell


8. Deliver Us To Evil

in my grave down below
hell's fire starts to glow

my prayers have now been heard
by my lord, my god. master lucifer
there is no life or birth
when the undead walk the earth
unholy blaspheme and torment
are now set free.

lead us into temptation
a reign of terror will begin
deliver us to evil
we promise death, world's end

incubus in the sky
pentagram held high
hell's filth hounds begin to bark
the bells begin to tone
virgin lies in blood
the blood was once her own
the redness and the horror of blood
swept acro55 the land I stood

lead us into temptation
a weigh of terror will begin
deliver us to evil
we promise death, world's end

black prince of hell
in fire he reigns
your god above wrapped up in chains
there is no love
when works collide
deliver us to evil
when god has died

I laugh while they cry
their fears build up inside
in their confusion they try to run
but it's no use, my work is done
slow death is the price
for living such wasted lives
their bodies they burn and bleed
until they bow, my word they heed
you've led us into temptation
our reign of terror has begun
deliver us to evil
prince of hell
satan's son


9. Strike Of The Beast

walking down the backstreets
the noon is full and high
you feel your body start to sweat
someone's about to die
you turn around and run
it's the only thing to do
someone's about to die
and that someone... is you

time to run or fight
off the strike of the beast

you hear the creature's hooves
start to echo through your brain

you fear the demon's hellish howl

it makes you go insane
you smell the creature's fowl stench
laced with death and waste
don't lose your mind he's right behind
breathing fire in your face

time to run or fight
off the strike of the beast
if you fail you'll be
the hellish demon's feast

black as night he begins his flight
wings outstretched in the cold
glowing eyes, he wears no disguise
his evil has yet to be told
breathing fire the beast is flying higher
now he swoops down on his prey
all the world a horrid mess
leaving black earth in decay

the beast prepares for battle
and you prepare to die
the blood running down your throat
dulls you woeful cry
you can feel the power rage within your soul
when you die you go to hell and live... forevermore
