Stormtroopers Of Death includes the famous Billy Milano (M.O.D.) on vocals, Scott Ian on guitar and Charlie Benante on drums (both of Anthrax fame). Also, bassist Dan Lilker has been in many other underground metal bands, including Brutal Truth, Nuclear Assault, Exit-13 and early Anthrax among others.
S.O.D. don’t always write songs to anger, but often pen lyrics to amuse. For instance, in response to their (misconstrued) earlier lyrics, S.O.D. wrote the politically-correct (and Agnostic Front-esque) We All Bleed Red: a track that condemns racists and racism. Also, S.O.D. include healthy doses of humor for the metal fan, poking fun at Slayer (Seasoning the Obese), Celtic Frost (Celtic Frosted Flakes), and King Diamond/Mercyful Fate (King at the King/Evil Is In). The cover to Bigger Than the Devil is a tribute to the classic Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden.
From The BNR Metal Pages (http://www.bnrmetal.com/):
“06/25/2002 : Following personal disputes between Billy Milano and the two Anthrax members (Scott Ian and Charlie Benante) concerning the “Behind The Music” VH-1 program on Anthrax (Milano felt that Danny Lilker was slighted) the band is once again disbanded. “

S.O.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We sat underneath the stars more times than we could ever pretend
I never had the guts to
Go ahead and ask you
To take my hand and dance with me
I always get lost in the melody when you're standing next to me
So won't you hear this song now
Let's raise our glasses to the sky
Like we did all the time
And drink, some chocolate milk
Like when we were kids
Do you remember the times when we were just kids
We sat in the car and listened to your favorite jams
I never had the guts to
Go ahead and tell you, that
I wanted to be more than just friends
I thought you'd laugh at me and that'd be the end
So won't you hear this song now
And laugh with me till the sun goes down
Let's raise our glasses to the sky
Like we did all the time
And drink, some chocolate milk
Like when we were kids
I thought I would have to lie
And tell you I never cried
How could I ever think
That this is just a drink
It's a gateway to a forgotten past
An invitation to stop going fast
I see now what I've always ignored
Everything that you adore
Let's take each other happily
And live in harmony
What was just a fantasy is quickly becoming reality
So won't you hear this song now
And laugh with me till the sun goes down
Let's raise our glasses to the sky
Like we did all the time
And drink, some chocolate milk
Like when we were kids
The song Milk by S.O.D. is essentially about looking back on a time when the singer and his friend had a simpler, innocent relationship. The two were once just friends, but the singer had always wanted to be more. However, he never had the courage to ask her to dance or tell her how he really felt, fearing that she would reject him. He reminisces on times when they were just kids, listening to music together in a car and drinking chocolate milk, when life was carefree and they had nothing to worry about.
As he looks back on these memories, he sees the importance of cherishing those moments and the people who meant so much to us back then. While the two may have grown apart or lost touch, the singer wants to reach out and reconnect with his friend. Drinking chocolate milk may seem trivial, but it represents something much deeper for the singer—the invitation to slow down, take a break from the hectic pace of life, and simply enjoy the present moment with those who matter most.
In Milk, S.O.D. masterfully blends nostalgic imagery with a familiar tune to create a song about longing, friendship, and the importance of holding onto precious moments from the past. The lyrics encourage listeners to take a moment to pause and reflect on the people in their lives who have made an impact, and to celebrate those relationships while they still can.

Do you remember all the time we called each other just friends
Reflecting back on the days when we pretended to be 'just friends'
We sat underneath the stars more times than we could ever pretend
We spent countless nights together star gazing, pretending it was casual

Go ahead and ask you
To take my hand and dance with me

We sat in the car and listened to your favorite jams
I never had the guts to
Go ahead and tell you, that
I wanted to be more than just friends
I thought you'd laugh at me and that'd be the end
Recalling the days when we were young and listening to music together. My fear held me back from telling you that I wanted something more. I thought it would only lead to rejection and embarrassment
I thought I would have to lie
And tell you I never cried
How could I ever think
That this is just a drink
I believed I had to hide my emotions and deny being affected by our relationship. I know now that dismissing this as 'just a drink' was foolish
It's a gateway to a forgotten past
An invitation to stop going fast
I see now what I've always ignored
Everything that you adore
Drinking this chocolate milk is like opening the door to a past I've forgotten. It's a chance for us to slow down and appreciate the things you love that I've previously ignored
Let's take each other happily
And live in harmony
What was just a fantasy is quickly becoming reality
Let's embrace one another and find happiness in each other's company. What was once a dream is becoming a reality

Lyrics:[Verse 1]
I woke up, can't wait to eat
Got my cereal, boy was I beat
Opened the fridge and to my dismay
There was no milk, my mother will pay
[Chorus]
I want some milk
My coffee grows cold
I want some milk
I should've been told
[Bridge]
I wish I had some goddamn milk
My Cheerios just ain't the same
I wish I had some goddamn milk
Too bad the milkman never came
[Verse 2]
I can't go out to the store
I'll just wait till my mother buys more
I'll just have wheat thins and beer
If I get sick, the toilet is near
[Chorus]
I want some milk
My coffee grows cold
I want some milk
I should've been told
[Bridge]
I wish I had some goddamn milk
My Cheerios just ain't the same
I wish I had some goddamn milk
Too bad the milkman never came
[Chorus]
I want some milk
My coffee grows cold
I want some milk
I should've been told
