1.
Proud towers crumble and fall See the shattered folk whom once stood tall Straight from blue heavens came the smothering cloud The golden meadows they withered and browned Ere Goliath’s kingdom they did see Now hear the lowly men groan in misery; ‘Woe, the gleaming stones were pillaged hard’ As the eras turned the marble to mud Holding on, ravaged by time Holding on, ravaged by time Holding on, ravaged by time
2.
Grasping in the shadows, roasting in the night Hear the stifled shouts Among the colonnades, skulks a sorry sight Desperate whereabouts Still alive & kicking Frantic are the cries, the thunder doesn’t die It resonates around From Hades’ own cave, by clawing through the fray One can seize the crown Still alive & kicking Fire burns below, the lost only can know The way a free man strikes Thrusting full at once, hold the power front With full atomic might Still alive & kicking

Smart Kills 04:28
Wondering aloud, blowing smoke behind me The deluge falls in sheets With straining eyes, the moon my only guide Upon the sodden streets What does it take to like me? It’s gnawing at my brain What does it take, can’t somebody tell me? The anger stirs again Smart Kills, a way of life Bear the yoke, nurse the knife Smart Kills Smart Kills, helping me Stave off the misery Smart Kills Brick twitten rings with footsteps, I flick an embering butt A thirsty blade held tight Cold-shouldered, spurned, browbeaten and burnt Knuckles are turning white
4.
I’m skulking round, I don’t have a care for money My shoes have long since lost their shine Got a grim heart and tongue, ‘cause to me I think it’s funny Poke every bear, speak out of line My shirt is threadbare, my mind a gurt confusion My teeth ground to flour, my fists are tight I’ve never felt a woman’s touch, to me love is an illusion It scrambles away, stays out my sight In my petrol tank is heavy music Sirening, feeding power long through the dark nights Stilling the course on the high seas of life With nickel strings and gutter rhymes
5.
Throw me a rope & pull me out of the tide Got a demon deep inside Throw me a rope & pull me out of the tide Heavy, burdened I can’t hide Is it a dream or reality? I feel the weight of the finality Unfamiliar environment Need a way for it to end Trapped in my mind, all of the time Trapped in my mind, day & night I’m dark dreaming Dark dreaming Dark dreaming Throw me a rope & pull me out of the tide Got a demon deep inside Throw me a rope & pull me out of the tide Heavy, burdened I can’t hide Can’t avoid the coming event, I fall into the torment I lay in bed but I don’t want to sleep Or am I dreaming and in too deep?

Panzerchild 03:24
‘Midst shrieks and anguished cries, He fights ‘neath dullen skies, Fighting for his right to be Firm and in fixed belief Unwavering, Boldly forth, a life to lead When your world’s a war, face the cannonfire Exult in triumph, onwards ever higher You’ll get your victory leaf Fight the Panzerchild fight (Panzerchild fight) Bannicked with bullets still Harsh-done but iron-shelled Set to win, this soldier never flees Come the day, the sieger stands No white flag in hand Atop Olympus, he’s fit to feast
7.
‘Twas God’s will I was born a disfigured man Tarred as a freak I turned to a thieving hand Caught and cast-out of town by the village folk Condemned and banished to a life amongst the oaks With twisting trees as my only friends If I must die here I must first take revenge The humble homesteads round the old church spire As they sleep shall they feel the heat of man-made fire
8.
9.
The gunfire rumbles around Showered with blackened earth, I hug the frozen ground And you’re here You’re here In these trembling hands Uttering desperate prayers On tattered resin-paper I catch your face so fair As whistles split the air And you’re here You’re here In these trembling hands My stomach wrenched with fear Onwards they come, the guns are drawing ever near
10.
Steamhammer 06:07
Burning eyes, burning arms Blown-out ears and a blown-out heart Grimacing faces, through the searing steam Born under blows, strained at the seam Steamhammer, forged man and me Steamhammer, forged man and me Forced overload, the firm ground breaks Foundations shatter and shake Face the heat of the furnace bright Pull well, pull fast, pull until it’s light Steamhammer, forged man and me Steamhammer, forged man and me Steamhammer, created he Whose heart is pounding and nerves are steel When the only way’s through bitter trials See Hephaestus smile

about

Armstrong Gun Horley, UK

Harking back to the early 80s New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Armstrong Gun is a powerhouse trio that bring riff-laden songs with catchy melodies. First started in 2018 Horley, Surrey by like-minded friends playing heavy blues material, a line-up change steered the direction of the band to a more focused New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal sound.
