Peace Sells Lyrics

[Verse 1: ILL BILL]
I'm the Kreator of Terrible Certainty
It's No Escape from the Toxic Trace
Pop your face, Storming with Menace and Blind Faith

The Angel of Death, Read Between the Lies, South of Heaven
Expendable Youth, Divine Intervention

Teaching y'all A Lesson in Violence
Doctor Death injecting the virus, Apocalypse
I'm a horseman in the Circle of Tyrants
And death's the era, Possessed like Jeff Becerra
Consuming Impulses drown you in the depths of terror
Forever!

[Hook]
Peace Sells, But Who's Buying?
Who's trying? Who's crying?
Who's lying in a pool of blood dying?
Peace Sells But Who's Buying?
Who's trying? Who's crying?
Who's popping with the four pound iron?
Peace Sells But Who's Buying?
Who's trying? Who's crying?
Who's lying in a pool of blood dying?
Peace Sells But Who's Buying?
Who's trying? Who's crying?
Who's lying in a pool of blood?
[Hook]

About

Genius Annotation

This entire song is a tribute to Thrash, Death and Heavy Metal bands.

While it may be overt to metal fans, it is very cryptic (typical to ILL BILL) to Hip Hop heads.

Most Hip Hop heads will take it as a typical ILL BILL song that is dark and cryptic, without noticing that it is jam packed with Heavy Metal references, and is particularly an eponymous homage to Megadeath’s 1986 album of the same name.
