The Law Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The formula that's so elite
Making riffs that will blow your heads off
Pumpin' licks that will tear you apart
The urge is buried deep within us
Crush the one that refuses to mosh
The Law is metal and metal is The Law
All hell is breaking loose
Thrash thrash thrash
We do it for the
Thrill thrill thrill
We're forcing you to
Mosh mosh mosh
United until death
With a torch we searched for answers
We found the truth in loud guitars
With a help from our ancestors
We're heading for the stars
We took a hit from San Francisco
We took a ride to NYC
Any influence that could please us
From Exodus to S.O.D.
Thrash thrash thrash
We do it for the
Thrill thrill thrill
We're forcing you to
Mosh mosh mosh
United into death
Flashing through my mind
Forcing you to mosh
We're continuing the legacy
We're gonna Kill 'em all
To reign in blood among the living
The fabulous disaster
We took a hit from San Francisco
We took a ride to NYC
Any influence that could please us
From Exodus to S.O.D.
Thrash thrash thrash
We do it for the
Thrill thrill thrill
We're forcing you to
Mosh mosh mosh
United into death
The Law's song "Anthem" is a celebration of thrash metal music and the community that surrounds it. The lyrics describe the intense energy and complexity of the music, as well as the passion and loyalty of the fans. The first verse mentions the difficulty of creating the intricate riffs and licks that define thrash metal, but also the exhilaration of performing them. The idea of the "formula that's so elite" suggests that the genre requires a high level of musical skill and innovation.
The second verse describes the origins of the band's love for thrash metal, which they discovered through listening to bands like Exodus and S.O.D. The reference to "loud guitars" as a source of truth speaks to the emotional and cathartic power of the music. The use of a torch as a symbol of the search for truth and enlightenment also suggests a connection to the spirit of rebellion and individualism that is often associated with heavy metal.

FUCKING AWESOME !!!!!!!!!! \m/\m/ but there is difference in the rythm and vocals from the documentary Get Thrashed, anyone know where can I get the documentary version ?
@PaddyLaPoint
If there ever was an anthem for Thrash Metal this is it, the only one thing I feel it's missing is an IN THE NIGHT at the end as homage to Slayer. The rest of the album is awesome too so if you can find it, fuckin' get it \m/
