lyrics

BEGINNING OF THE END:
Once it was good
Like it should
Living was fine just sipping the wine
Fear entered man
Emotions ran
That’s when the Beginning of the End began

Chorus:
Beginning of the end
When life’s no friend
People welcome death
Right to their door
Beginning of the end
Your wounds will never mend
People stamp you
Right to the floor

Now it’s bad
Life’s so sad
Everyone thinks of the dreams they had
Hatred rise
Frightful eyes
Every dam truth turns into lies

Chorus:

Rise of dawn
Everyone’s gone
The end is here the cause is clear
Another glass of gin
Battlefields of sin
Just awhile before the end begins

Beginning- of the End
When- life’s no friend
Beginning- of the End
Your wounds will never mend

Lyrics by: Ed Lawton

Why Play Around?
by Wargasm

supported by 236 fans who also own “Beginning of the End”

Killer thrash from the 80s, remastered and re-released to remind the kids how it was done before there was a roadmap. I never heard of them until now, but these guys hold up well against the best of the popular bands of the era- Death Angel, Violence, Forbidden, early Metallica and early Slayer. Edit: After a coupla months to digest this, I have to say these guys are one of the best thrash bands ever, period. The fact that they were doing this in 1986 is testament to their fucking genius.

Location made it hard for me to be on the tape trading circuit back in the day, so discovering this band in the 80s would have been hard from rural ohio. Glad I got to hear this now! Rivals all the stateside 2nd wave thrashers ! Recommend ! warchrist30
