The Black Angels Lyrics
Fire for the hills pick up your feet and lets go
Head for the hills pick up steel on your way
And when you find a piece of them in your sight
Fire at will don't you waste no time
Another thought of the unaware
Addiction in disguise
With a drop of blood
You will take them out for me
Fire from the hills pick up speed and lets go
Fire for real yeah shoot to kill with no aim
Head for the hills yes eyes on the camp fire glow
Creep up there like a white mink hiding in snow
And out of the black a figure forms
A soldier in the sky
With a drop of love
Trying to set you free
Run for the hills pick up your feet and lets go
We did our jobs pick up speed now lets move
The trees cant grow without the sun in their eyes
And we can't live if we're too afraid to die
Hold on tight yes hold on tight you're too slow
Fire at the breeze that blows these thoughts through our mind
Hire only thieves to steal the thoughts from our heads

Fire for the hills, pick up your feet and let's go
Head for the hills, pick up steel on your way
And when you find a piece of them in your sight
Fire at will, don't you waste no time
[Verse 1]
Another thought of the unaware
Addiction in disguise
With a drop of blood
You will take them out for me
[Chorus]
Fire from the hills, pick up speed and let's go
Fire for real, yeah, shoot to kill with no aim
Head for the hills, yes, eyes on the camp fire glow
Creep up there like a white mink hiding in snow
[Verse 2]
And out of the black a figure forms
A soldier in the sky
With a drop of love
Trying to set you free
[Chorus]
Run for the hills, pick up your feet and let's go
We did our jobs, pick up speed now lets move
The trees can't grow without the sun in their eyes
And we can't live if we're too afraid to die
Hold on tight, yes, hold on tight you're too slow
Fire at the breeze that blows these thoughts through our mind
Hire only thieves to steal the thoughts from our heads

The Rattlers have good taste in music.

Yeah, even psychopath slavers can like the same music as normal people. :)

when I played this I thought of Death Sentence, perfect fit for this game !
Robert Teeter
How'd you know I came here for this? ;-)
BabboLozada
I just noticed they're in the game!

Do they?
RJ
Loved hearing this in Part II! This song and the overall mature and grim tone of the game gave me strong Spec Ops: The Line vibes. Love games like these, I live for them.
Sam Crooker
Yes!!! Exactly!!
Games are similar in their dark nature and sinister tone!!
Spec Ops is a HUGE Underrated Masterpiece of a game too!
Legions and Legends
Check out apocalypse now or heart of darkness. You'll like those.

"The trees can't grow without the sun in their eyes, amd we can't live if we're too afraid to die!" Always been one of my favorite lyrics.. This album was given to me by someone who said they didn't like it because it reminded them too much of The Doors (10 years ago). Been in love ever since 😍
