Moonshine Bright Lyrics –

1. MOONSHINE BRIGHT

Witches brew while you’re bleeding
Bitches blue getting’ tight
I’ll be drinkin’ til morning
Then I’ll continue the fight (That’s right!)

When I’m high I can do anything
Bring me some mash and I’ll tap it again
Bottle up Hell and I’ll give it a try
Let the moonshine bright

Those demon moves we’ve been making
Attacking and slamming the night
I’ve been ridin’ White Lightning
Are you ready to strike? (Then strike!)

Not too long til we’re howlin’ again
The deck is stacked and I’m goin’ all in
There’s no ending to this evil night
Let the moonshine bright

Been doin’ wrong – For oh so long

(1st chorus)

(2nd chorus)

2. HELLBETTIES RISIN’

There’s a type of gal that’s halfway to crazed
With her life full of sin and her hellbilly ways

She knows no fear and ain’t afraid to die
Her buck knife will cut you down to size
She’s got a tiger’s heart and a renegade’s eyes

You’ll have a hard time comin’ at me or my girls
I don’t take shit and I ain’t afraid to whirl

She’s got a mean, mean streak and she don’t give a damn

If you’re gonna talk shit you better walk away
We’re gonna get drivin’ and we’re here to stay

Ain’t no disguising, Hellbetties risin’

When she gets told she likes to disobey
She can’t live her life any other way

She knows no fear and she ain’t afraid to die
Her buck knife will cut you down to size
She’s got a tiger’s heart and a renegade’s eyes

Ran up on her – then I took a swing
Cops were rollin’, didn’t see a thing

She’s got a mean, mean streak and she don’t give a damn

Just look my way if you wanna go
We’ll be boppin’ if you need to know

Ain’t no disguising, Hellbetties risin’

3. DEAD MAN

Stillborn on a sharp bed of nails
I was weaned on a cat-o-nine tails
Baptized by a murderer’s hand
I’ll be listening for the curse that made me

A dead man, I’m a dead man
I got shit to demand, part of my dark plan
Yeah, I’m a dead man

Salvation made a corpse outta me
Stigmata performed – brutally
I got no vows and a right to be damned
They made their future when they made me

A dead man, I’m a dead man
I’m takin’ command, makin’ my Last Stand
Yeah, I’m a dead man

Cold soul and an icy stone grip
I got my iron in my fucken fist
I’ll be stalkin’ over this barren land
And I’ll be gunnin’ for the fuck that made me

(chorus 1)
(solo)
(chorus 2)
(chorus 1)

4. RECTIFY ME

If this is warmth, I’ll stay cold inside
Cuz living like this feels like suicide
Staying awake so I’ll see me bleed
If I don’t sleep then I cannot dream

I tried to release – But there’s no relief
I tried to believe – But there’s belief

Rectify me

I could have remorse, but I’ve never tried
Cuz all of my life just went up and died
Hurt by the truth, hurt by the lies
Part of the pain is not caring why

I tried to grieve – but there’s no need
I tried to leave – but there’s no reprieve

Rectify me, Crucify me, Sanctify me, Scarify me,
Vilify me, Deify me, Putrefy me, Rectify me

All I’d defied was in my mind
Once I could see it made me blind
This Holy War was – never blessed
How can I be cleansed in all this mess?

I tried to bereave – But it’s all conceit
I tried to succeed – But it’s been decreed

Rectify me

5. IN HELL

Got me a demon deluxe
She’s a moto psycho, shit kickin’, don’t give a fuck
We’ll be droppin’ the hammer once again

Nitro fist attack
We’ve been law breakin’, risk takin’, jumpin’ the tracks
For that we’re goin’ to Hell they say

And when we get to Hell
I’ll wonder what we’re doin’ there
And then I’ll look around I won’t care
Cuz when we get to Hell
We won’t be fussin’ in your hair
We’ll be doin’ what they do down in Hell
In Hell

Legs like dynamite
Tiger eyes that explode the night
Black claws that’ll scratch MY back again

Wolves howl while we’re singin’ our song
Lip smackin’, skull crackin’ all night long
For that we’d go to Hell they said

(chorus)

Storming the Gates of Hell
Eternally damned with my Jezebel
We’ll be doing the Dance of the Dead in style

She’s doin’ her banshee wail
Black lips puckered up & waggin’ her tail
If this is Hell I’m finally home at last

(chorus)
 
6. NEVER SURRENDER

Politician doin’ wrong, til we’re all dead and gone
If we’re gonna get along, gotta pick which side yer on
Livin’ in a Baylon, be ready when you’re called upon
And I just got to say…never surrender!Never fall away, never quit the cause
Never give a damn about what happens when you fight the law
Never stop to care, never settle down
Never let a cop declare you’ve got to bow to get along
Never surrenderGotta fight until it’s done, can’t you see the lines are drawn?
Droppin’ like an atom bomb, wait and seen the new dawn
Gettin’ down getting’ strong, feelin’ like Genghis Khan
And I just got to say…never surrender!Never take a dive, never deify
Never dignify a motherfuck who lives a fucken lie
Never hide from truth, never idolize
Never feed hypocrisy but shoot it right between the eyes
Never surrender

(verse 1)

(chorus 1)
(chorus 2)

7. OUTLAWS WILL BE FREE

Thunderclouds are nearing, ready to bring the pain
Battlefields are clearing, get ready for acid rain

Feel the nitro – Swing the chain
Real and righteous – Here we go again

Renegades – and rebels yell
The fuse is lit, and time will tell
Hell and fury, will come with me
When freedom’s outlawed
Only outlaws will be free

Phantom riders gathering, ready to set the stage
Watching justice falter, choking on the rage
So muthafucks – get around
On a mission – ready to move on sound

Fatal saints – won’t give a damn
So rise on up and make a stand
Bring the nightfall – brutally
When freedom’s outlawed
Only outlaws will be free

Tyranny – vengefully
Blasphemy, to deities

(choruses out)

Black Hearted Killer Lyrics – Click to Expand/Close

8. BLACK HEARTED KILLER

Sharp clawed take down – Danger from the top down
Don’t think that you’ll get your way this time
Long-legged mean one – Danger with a shotgun
She won’t do love but man she’ll do the crime

One bite you’ll never get away
She will show that Heaven’s had its day
And you’ll know that Hell has come to stay
Black hearted killer – Yeah that bitch will thrill ya

A tattooed evil – A demon underneath ya
Preachin’ lust but teachin’ genocide
Know she’s gonna cross ya – But you’ll never leave her
Temptation tends to do it every time

One bite you’ll never get away
She will show that Heaven’s had its day
And you’ll know that Hell has come to stay
Black hearted killer – Yeah that bitch will thrill ya

Sharp clawed take down – Danger with her top down
Don’t think that you’ll get your way this time
Long-legged mean one – Danger with a shotgun
She won’t do love but man she’ll do the crime

9. THE STORM IS MY SHELTER

Livin’ from midnight to 6 – Burnin oil and cigarettes
Don’t you think I got it made? Poppin pills like hand grenades

I said yeah – ah, goddamn

Daylight comes, daylight goes – Not enough time to know for sure
Say you will but you’re such a wreck – Takin off in my silver jet

To the uptown – lock n load

I say yeaaaahh – all right

Baby don’t like to be alone – She wants some shelter from the storm
Pack your bags, go on home – Live or die I’m free to roam

Here we come again, lookin for trouble
Come on motherfucker get on the double
Train, train, southbound track
Drinkin wine, shootin smack

Silver streak goin straight to Hell
Come on, pack your bags, Jezebel

Baby don’t like to be alone – She wants some shelter from the storm
Pack your bags, go on home – Live or die I’m free to roam
Cuz I – keep digging in, Keep livin it
You know it’s – Helter Skelter, cuz the storm – is my shelter

C’mon Jezebel, start dancin

Baby don’t like to be alone – She wants some shelter from the storm
Pack your bags, go on home – Live or die I’m free to roam
Cuz I – keep digging in, Keep livin it
You know it’s – Helter Skelter, cuz the storm – is my shelter

10. A LIFE FOR AN EYE

Drop the switch – it’s all right
Hold in a scream – and we’ll lie

Assault liberty – it’s no crime
Repress and infect – let ‘em die

Lick my lips, caress my child
Succumb to lust and rape and defile
Give me heads, and feel alright
Bring me skins and take a life for an eye

Pull the pin – and we’ll hide
Cover up – and deny
Blackout dissent – take a bribe
Ratify greed – and imbibe

Lick my lips, caress my child
Succumb to lust and rape and defile
Give me heads, and feel alright
Bring me skins and take a life for an eye

Declare war – don’t ask why
Line ‘em up – and then fire

Lick my lips, caress my child
Succumb to lust and rape and defile
Give me heads, and feel alright
Bring me skins and take a life for an eye
