Under The Blade Lyrics


A glint of steel, a flash of light
You know you're not going home tonight
Be it jack or switch, doctor's or mind
Nowhere to run, everywhere you'll findYou can't escape
From the bed you've made
When your time has come
You'll accept the bladeYou're cornered in the alley way
You know you're all alone
You know it's gonna end this way
The chill goes to the boneNow here it comes that glistening light
It goes into your side
Blackness comes, tonight's the night
Blade is gonna ride
'Cause you're under the blade, ohh
You're under the bladeIt's not another party head
This time you cannot rise
Your hands are tied, your legs are strapped
A light shines in your eyesYou faintly see a razor's edge

You open your mouth to cry
You know you can't, it's over now
The blade is gonna ride
'Cause you're under the blade, ohh
You're under the bladeA glint of steel, a flash of light
You know you're not going home tonight
Be it jack or switch, doctor's or mind
There's nowhere to run, everywhere you'll findYou can't escape
From the bed you've made
When your time has come
You'll accept the bladeYou've tried to make it to the front
You're pinned against the side
A monster stands before you now
It's mouth is open wideThe lights go on, the night explodes
It tears into your mind
When the night does end, you'll come again
The blade is gonna ride
'Cause you're under the blade, ohh
You're under the bladeHere it comes, baby, aow, whoa
Oh, you're under it
You're goin' down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down
Hey, hey

Twisted Sister is an American heavy metal band from Long Island popularized in comedic music videos on the television channel MTV in the 1980s. Although formed as a Bowie-inspired rock band by guitar player Jay Jay French in 1973, the band's style shifted to a more heavy metal-influenced sound when Dee Snider joined the band and took over songwriting.

They fused the shock tactics of Alice Cooper and W.A.S.P., the rebellious mood of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, the style of early Judas Priest, and the extravagant makeup of Kiss. Often misconceived as glam - the makeup and Dee's especially was more transformed into a horror creation, and the music is a lot more hard hitting, with rebellious or angry or violent or rock n roll or pride lyrics than love or happy lyrics. However, the band's fifth album, Love Is For Suckers - originally intended by Dee Snider to be a solo record - was plain heavy metal but drew heavy influence from 80's glam metal. To this day, members of the band do not feel Love Is For Suckers to be a Twisted Sister album.

The group's hit songs include "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock" - each from the band's third album Stay Hungry. Many of the band's hits theme around parent vs. child conflicts and criticisms against educational system. The group had a shock rock-like image and have been mislabelled as glam metal but musically they were closer to classic heavy metal bands such as Judas Priest and Motörhead than the other glam metal/pop metal bands of the era, for example Quiet Riot, Poison and Ratt.

Their hit song S.M.F. should also not be forgotten.(Sick Mother Fucker)
