Lyrics Beat the Clock (Extended Mix) - Remastered - Sparks

Dan will be a snake by the roadside
A viper along the path
That bites the horse′s heels
So that its rider tumbles back
A flame goes forth from his mouth
You will be completely wiped out (No!)
I will bring evil upon you
Out of your own house
I killed you with the words of my mouth
Chased you like a swarm of bees
And beat you down
Your bodies will lie there
Rotting on the ground
Your blood will be poured out
Into the dust
Full of every kind of wickedness
Will also bring on you every kind of sickness
Kill men and women, Children and infants
Break them with a rod of iron (Iron)
Emotions take over
Lashin' out and spittin′ fire
Murdered a man and seized his property
Dash them to pieces like pottery
Yeah, Bull will not be held responsible
Treated our sister like a prostitute
What's the use of livin' a righteous life?
How will it benefit me?
What′s the use of livin′ a righteous life?
How will it benefit me?
The streets echo the cries
Violence! Rape!
Victims bleeding and moaning
Lie all over the place
The streets echo the cries
Violence! Rape!
Like a lion in cover he lies in wait
I used a donkey's jawbone
To kill a thousand men
I beat them with this jawbone
Over and over again
Even if you beat fools half to death
You still can′t beat
Their foolishness out of them
For David had said to him
"Your blood be on your own head
Your own mouth testified against you when you said"
He catches the helpless
And drags them off in his net
He even destroyed
Distant relatives and friends
Give yourself no relief
Your eyes no rest (No rest)
They are guilty of a capital offence
I will fill your mountains with the dead
Like a maniac shooting
Flaming arrows of death
Is this the man who sthe Earth
And made kingdoms tremble
Lying there dead
With a tent peg through his temple?
When they saw the man
Fled from him and were dreadfully afraid
Before them the people writhe in pain
All faces are drained of color
Like a stillborn infant
Coming from its mother's womb
With its flesh half eaten away
Hearts melt in horror
And knees shake
Have no mercy on helpless babies
Every time I open my mouth
I′m shouting "Murder!" or "Rape!"
It will be a terrible day
Sin! Greed! Hate!
Killing even your brothers
Friends and neighbors
They will writhe
Like a woman in labor
And if they give birth
I will slaughter their beloved children
Bringin' a sudden flow of
Blood and water
And even if your children do survive to grow up
I will take them from ya
The streets echo the cries
Violence! Rape!
Victims bleeding and moaning
Lie all over the place
The streets echo the cries
Violence! Rape!
Like a lion in cover he lies in wait
Happy shall he be that takes
And dashes your little ones
Against the stones
Fill its courtyards
With the bodies of those you kill, go!
Will it keep begging you for mercy?
Will it? (Mercy!)
I grab it by the throat
And kill it
Kill all the boys and all the women
Who have slept with a man (Ew)
Chop them up like
Meat for the pan
Tore forty two of the children to pieces
Like flesh for the pot
Throw them away
Like a menstrual cloth
Make their flesh rot
And their eyes fall
From their sockets
And their tongues drop out
Drink, get drunk and vomit
Come, let us face each other in battle
Release wild animals
That will kill your children
And destroy your cattle
Anyone who is captured
Will be run through with a sword
Their homes will be sacked
And their wives raped
By the attacking hordes
Happy shall he be that takes
And dashes your little ones against the stones
Fill its courtyards
With the bodies of those you kill
Let′s go!
The streets echo the cries
Violence! Rape!
Victims bleeding and moaning
Lie all over the place
The streets echo the cries
Violence! Rape!
Like a lion in cover he lies in wait
