I write these words as witness to the crime
You throw them back and say the crime is mine
I balance life and death now you deny
I read these words aloud and watch you die
I sit and watch you die

Your flesh will feed my land,
one day you'll understand
I breed thee - I feed thee - I feed thee, you bite the
hand that feeds thee
Protect me - reject me, spat me out and reserect thee
Belie me - deny me, then rape and crucify thee

Destroyed and damned

Your soul as mist and dust, old bones powdered and crushed
You gut me - and fuck me, you burn and you insult thee

Sing with the song of Venom, Destroyed & Damned lyrics!

Pollute me - uproot me, the treason absoluetly
Deface me - embrace me, you strangle then erase thee

Destroyed and damned

If you know not what you do - if you gamble
will you lose If you're guilty of the crime - do you live or
do you die - I sit and watch you die

The sands of time will fade can't stop the life decay
I raise thee - disgrace me, insanity replace thee
Impale me - inhale me, your lungs begin to fail thee
You eat me - deplete me, an endless overloading

Destroyed and damned
Destroyed and damned

Artist Information

Profile:

One of the most important bands to ever spawn from the Metal undeground, Venom helped the creation of extreme metal. Formed in Newcastle, England in the '70s as Oberon, the band became a reality thanks to singer/bassist Conrad Lant, guitarist Jeff Dunn, and drummer Tony Bray. Soon renamed to Venom, the members decided to opt for Satanic imagery and appear in interviews, magazines and booklets as Cronos, Mantas and Abaddon respectively. Originally a mixture of Motörhead, Black Sabbath and Kiss, the band's fresh Satanic Hardcore/Metal debut, "Welcome to Hell" (1981) was though by many as the first real 100% Thrash album. Its successor, 1982's "Black Metal", while not as successful as Metallica's "Kill 'Em All" allowed the band to gain more fame, along with naming a whole generation of new bands. "At War With Satan", the band's finest hour, quickly followed as a response to the group's unexpected success with 1985's "Possessed", which unfortunately was the last album (of this early era) to feature Mantas. More line-up changes happened, as Cronos soon left to follow a career as a solo artist and Abaddon was forced to re-recruit Mantas (largely missed by the fans) along with fellow British Atomkraft's Tony Dolan (who used the moniker 'The Demolition Risk' in Venom) and Al Banes. More albums followed by they were largely ignored as Metallica, Anthrax and Megadeth's approach to Thrash received greater appreciation and as bands like Mayhem started appearing. In 1996 the band reformed as the original line-up with Cronos back in the fold. A self-titled EP was released, followed by other semi-successful albums and the re-release of all of the bands' older classics.
