Lääz Rockit would release five more full length albums over the next eight years, with 1985's "No Stranger to Danger", 1987's "Know Your Enemy", 1989's "Annihilation Principle", 1991's "Nothing'$ $acred" and the 1992 live album "Taste Of Rebellion", securing both fan and critical acclaim worldwide. The band toured throughout North America, Europe, and Japan in this period, raising the bar for metal acts to follow with their unique live performance and rapport with fans at every gig along the way.
The band broke up in 1993, though the members continued their strong bond of friendship outside of music. Their sense of kinship and brotherhood often raised the question of performing together again at some point in time, and in 2005 the perfect opportunity presented itself.
The 2005 Dynamo Open Air Festival in the Netherlands was a celebration of 80's thrash metal bands, and Lääz Rockit was billed for the main stage along with Anthrax and Testament. This show, along with a club appearance with Testament, would be Lääz Rockit's first appearances live since Tokyo in 1992. After enjoying the fun and success of playing live again, the band appeared at "The San Francisco Thrash Against Cancer Benefit" in July 2005, and travelled to Japan with their brothers Testament for the two night sold out "Thrash Domination" festival, with Kreator and Destruction also on the bill. A headline appearance at Germany's "Keep It True" festival with Diamond Head and Sabbat, and two shows in the Netherlands and Belgium in spring of 2007 were the only gigs of 2007, as the band brought along new drummer Sky Harris.
In August 2006, Lääz Rockit released "Live Untold", a DVD that encapsulates the story of the band with clips of concert scenes, photos, and interviews that chronicle the band from its inception to the present day. It is a classic, detailing the band in a unique fashion, and showcasing their brotherhood throughout their lives.
Due to the fans overwhelming response, Lääz Rockit's back catalogue is being re-mastered and re-released on Old School Metal Records, also home to the "Live Untold" DVD. "City's Gonna Burn" was re-released in 2007, with complete photos of the era and updated production. The album also contains the "Prelude To Death" demo recording from 1983. The rest of the back catalogue is also slated for release soon.
After the success of the reunion shows, the band realized they were not finished with what they had to offer musically. The band returned to the studio in 2008 for the first time in 15 years, and recently completed the perfect follow-up to where they left off in 1993 with the aptly titled "Left For Dead". Enlisting co-producers Juan Urteaga and former Lääz Rockit member Scott Sargeant (who also makes a guest appearance), the flow and direction of "Left For Dead" is the most mature sound and well thought offering the band has ever released.
"Left For Dead" was released on July 25th in Europe on Massacre Records. On June 1st, a limited edition signed CD was available in the U.S. for a limited time only on the band's MySpace page and/or official website.
The group takes its name from the finale of the 1976 Clint Eastwood movie, "The Enforcer", involving the use of a M72 LAW rocket.
Fire In The Hole
Lääz Rockit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No control how it starts
You're trapped within yourself
It makes you so weak at heart
Praying for your life
Wishing you were home
It's not a pleasant choice
To choose to burn or drown
You're standing on the edge
Don't take that final step
You might wind up dead
It's rising by degrees
It's a mortal enemy
Burning down below
Fire in the hole
Steal their lives away
Kill without a sound
Do the damage hard
Slaughter underground
Pull the pin of fate
Sow the seeds of hate
Kill to dominate
It's rising by degrees
Falling under siege
Burning down below
Fire in the hole
Panic fills the air
Rising wildfire
You've only got one chance
Seems like suicide
It only takes a spark
To light the fatal flame
Only one foolish move
Of pawns who play the game
Pawns who play the game
It's rising by degrees
It's sheer catastrophe
Burning down below
Fire in the hole
The song "Fire in the Hole" by Lääz Rockit is about the feeling of being trapped and powerless, whether it be due to a personal struggle or a larger, societal issue. The opening lines describe the state of constant fear and lack of control that can lead to feeling helpless and weak. The chorus warns against taking the final step over the edge, as it can result in death. The verses go on to describe the destructive forces of hate and domination, and the consequences of playing the game of power.
The lyrics use the metaphor of fire to represent the destruction and chaos that can result from unchecked power and greed. The phrase "fire in the hole" is also a warning given before an explosion, emphasizing the danger and unpredictability of these forces.
Overall, the song is a call to resist oppression and fight for freedom, even in the face of overwhelming odds. It encourages listeners to recognize their own power and agency, despite the feelings of fear and uncertainty.
Line by Line Meaning
Living in constant fear
Being scared all the time
No control how it starts
It's impossible to know when it will start
You're trapped within yourself
You're stuck in your own mind
It makes you so weak at heart
It makes you emotionally weak
Praying for your life
Asking God for help to survive
Wishing you were home
Wishing you were in a safe place
It's not a pleasant choice
Having to choose between two bad options
To choose to burn or drown
To choose between two ways of dying
You're standing on the edge
You're about to fall
Don't take that final step
Don't do something that you will regret later
You might wind up dead
You might die
It's rising by degrees
It's getting worse slowly
It's a mortal enemy
It's a deadly foe
Burning down below
There's a fire that's causing damage
Fire in the hole
There's danger around
Steal their lives away
To kill people
Kill without a sound
To kill silently
Do the damage hard
Cause a lot of destruction
Slaughter underground
To kill people secretly
Pull the pin of fate
Make a decision that will have consequences
Sow the seeds of hate
Create animosity among people
Kill to dominate
To kill in order to gain power
Falling under siege
Feeling trapped and overwhelmed
Panic fills the air
Everyone is scared
Rising wildfire
The fire is spreading fast
You've only got one chance
You must act quickly
Seems like suicide
It feels like a dangerous decision
It only takes a spark
A small event can trigger a disaster
To light the fatal flame
To cause a deadly fire
Only one foolish move
A mistake can be fatal
Of pawns who play the game
Of people who are manipulated
It's sheer catastrophe
It's a complete disaster

And now seing people like me creating levels with this much potential as stretched focken difficulty faces and fire in the hole is a way of living hundred years cuz u will be living forever thanks to this meme. I thank all people that have contributed into lobotomy geometry dash levels, the first days and even now whenever I replay "fire in the hole" audio in my head at different pitch, I can't stop but smile as wide as I can.

Fire in the hole had been a part of me for a week already and I regret nothing wasting my time and hours laughing at said stretched difficulty faces. The amount of words I could possibly use to describe my love with lobotomy thanks to lobotomy dash are infinite and I will never thank enough all level creators YouTubers and redditors for contribution into this whole pack of new genre gd memes. I love gd and could die for gd cologne or sunix or serponge or rafer all these great people combined and born from one game.
