Artist: Holocaust
Album: Nightmares That Surface from Shallow Sleep
Song: Mad Axes

(Intro: Holocaust)
'Mad Axes'...
Silver ants and golden beetles crawling throughout my paragraphs
Chief Warcloud, to peel a lemon and share a drag
Wu-Tang Clan, West Coast, so carry torch
Throwing 'Mad Axes', bad apples at dead whores
Throwing 'Mad Axes', bad apples at dead whores

(Chorus 2X: Holocaust)
Throwing 'Mad Axes', heavy sawed-off shotty
Old Liquid Foot, Powder Foot chopped up the body
Great Warcloud who cracked you mighty hard
I watch the children chasing chickens off in the yard

(Holocaust)
I crash through the door and 'Motorhead' through the window
With a heavy pistol, Warcloud the Champion
Victory borns freedom, the universe can't defeat him
Crash you with the Seagram's, ooh-ee-yah
Chop your head in half with the heavy old sword from Old Asia
Sick man amaze you, dark 'Castle Fantasia'
Shot you in the early life, throw your arms in the garbage bin
Records will retard the spin, lay my gats on wax
Slit your belly open and stash a hammer in the back
Warcloud don't play Sleepy Horse, clack-clack
Slumped on a horse with a creepy torch and black gats
If one cannot speak wisdom about his or her culture
Therefore, they cannot deal equality
Barbaric policies, slaughter you in the odyssey
Crack you like a polly seed, make your organs commodity
Shot him barefoot in the dark, he was a tyrant
Fiasco pop violent, I smoke jump like a giant
And escape the deep end, my deadly maze of clues
We smoke motherfuckers like Army and Navy news
A hall full of dinosaurs heads, hear the best tune
You were mangled by a madman inside a wet room
Cut you at the knee with the shotgun, it's hurtful
You's like blind fish that swim in lazy circles
Gut him so swiftly, fired my Smith & Wesson
He tried to escape but stepped on his own intestine
Throw you in the shredder for pleasure and live to tell
Old war ghost, they cannonball in their well

(Chorus 2X)

(Holocaust)
Sunburst, shotgun, drop son, and scotch run
Down the dirty staircase, clatter like when the cops come
Warcloud, you punk crews, never started
It's like someone took human skins and filled them with garbage
You'll find your ass back in the dumpster from heavy gats
Baptism of blood, I'll leave you with flies and gnats
I stalk wit a sawed-off shotgun and an axe
All wrapped in bandages, coat was long and black
Spark it in the darkness, bewitched men and hunchback
Shuffle through the portal with cyber gats for asking
School of Assassins, stashing your body fragments
Just behind eight big crates we drunk laughing
Heavy swords, axes and hammers are my brigade
I'll cut you men down with the gauge and flip the page
Stumble off the ripple, 'cause everyday is New Year's
Sick like the green coyote, I drink a few beers
Lift that brick, grab that gat, paintings in the stack
I bump you and slump you on every track
It's that Warcloud rap, we desperate desperados
Machine junky crunchy with shots to pop the lotto
Swigging dusty bottles, the strongest who sing the longest
Throw you in the hells of hells from __________
Rap creature land, beware mechanical animals
Warcloud stretch in the daisies with revolvers
Drunk like thieves, take it just like the breeze
Now look at all the clowns there, sleeping up in the trees

(Chorus 2X)

(Holocaust)
It's way past your curfew, I came here to unearth you
Heavy old sword from Jerusalem, splatter juice from them
Red Bangladesh murder stupid men, peep my future pen
Hear from the roof the grim records, poets salute the spin
Cave where Medusa went, troops were bent, I shoot the lint
And let loose the hen, quite close to where the fruits were rinsed
Fry your brain roots and grin, Louis spent, thy scoops of mints
Pick a zoot suit and then strangle, mangle and slaughter you
Storm dream marauder who meat markets you artists
A large scholastic lesson from Butcher College
Tear your gut open, out gasses, liquids, and solids
They'll be astonished, how I left the whole place polished
Carry mad knowledge, for those who wrestle with concepts
Warcloud, outsiders, wanderers and conquerors
Warriors, angry men, warmongers, barbarians
Holy men, crusaders, face huggers and space truckers
Break fuckers backs, your spines were made of Lego
I laugh like a merchant whose teeth were made of Play-Do
Champ send your broad out, I snatched the bitch bottom jaw out
Hacksaw your legs, it's evening at the raw house
Warcloud, don't play monologue, pleasure ships
Slumped on a horse with a tomahawk, and desert mitts
Gallop through snowflakes, test him and catch a broke face
Razorblade tropical snowstorm, that slopes waste
Tatter rappers to form, holy lyrics you torn
Fly like a diamond winged unicorn, beyond the norm'

(Chorus 2X)

(Outro: Holocaust)
Wu-Tang Clan, West Coast Killa Beez

If you close your eyes and listen to Warcloud he paints a vivid picture of warriors during the Gothic age. Majestic knights doing battle and peasants toiling in the fields, he is a truly eloquent and unmatched storyteller that can assist you in astral projection to another realm. I guarantee he not only knows what astral projection is but I'm sure that's how he constructed some of his lyrics.

He's talking about what he did running the streets, this whole song is about the killings he did as a street nigga
