JUDGEMENT DAY
Nightmare Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They spread fear in the subway all day long
Armed and ready to rape, women in the town
They live in new York city, they're coming from the
Bronx
They use to play the warriors all night long
Watch for them, catch the thrill, travel at the speed
Of sound
They're the leaders of the world, masters of the
Steel

They must beware of the last warning
The law is on their back, he's coming coming...

Chorus: here comes the judgement day, oh they will
Pay
For their crimes, for their murders and for what they
Say...
Here comes the judgement day, oh they will pay
For their crimes, for their murders and for what they
Say...

Hidden in the darkness of a cell
So lonely they will wait for the last rings of the
Bells
Bring them in the realm where are the warriors of
Hell

They must beware of the last warning
The law is on their back, he's coming coming...

Chorus:

They spread fear in the subway all day long
Armed and ready to rape, women in the town
They live in new York city, they're coming from the
Bronx

They must beware of the last warning
The law is on their back, he's coming coming...

Here comes the judgement day, oh they will pay
For their crimes, for their murders and for what they
Say...
Here comes the judgement day, oh they will pay




For their crimes, for their murders and for what they
Say...
