1.	Crazy Mental Bad 04:43	lyrics	buy track
Screaming with vengeance Her hatred is so strong Hell fire it will rain down On those who did her wrong Surviving a brutal attack They murdered her family Corruption means justice will not be served So suffer insanity Crazy, she’s crazy mental bad.....she’s fucking crazy Crazy, she’s crazy mental bad Broken, the wounds will mend But time won’t heal her heart Retribution, takes the pain away She’s gonna tear their world apart A mother who’s pushed to the edge Left on the streets to die But now she is back, to get her revenge They’ll run but they can’t hide Crazy, she’s so crazy, mental bad Crazy, she’s so crazy, mental bad
2.	Devils Candy 05:50	lyrics	buy track
In a world of fire, Where the demon reigns Born into darkness, Poison in her veins Doesn’t feel compassion in her, Black empty heart Feeds on pain and misery, Tear your soul apart Then scours the earth for helpless victims They won’t escape her web of lies Resistance to her charm is useless No matter just how much he tries, those hypnotic eyes You better pray for mercy, Get on your knees And beg forgiveness You’re dreaming, you’re screaming, fear is what you’re feeling She’s lying, You’re crying, the life inside is dying She’s taking, She’s breaking, all your bones are shaking She looks so sweet but she tastes like devils candy Wears a mask of beauty, Hides the devil within Seduce the innocent, But underneath that skin A creature of destruction, Slayer of the light Send your soul straight to hell, Drag you into the night She’ll inflict punishment hellfire Nobody else can hear your screams Torturing souls of his believers Destroying all their hopes and dreams, the sacrifice supreme’s You’re pleading, while bleeding, on flesh and bone she’s feeding The blackness, It’s madness, No pity for the sadness The lady, is crazy, Now everything is hazy She looks so sweet but she tastes like devils candy
3.	WTF 04:54	lyrics	buy track
If you got something to say Say it to my face Don’t hide behind your written word A cowardly disgrace Think you’re clever to impress A fucking hypocrite We’ll ignore your web of lies Backstabbing chicken shit We will conquer and destroy The myths that you perceive Raise our hands up to rejoice As you lie down and bleed What the fuck is wrong with you We live to fight to keep it true Can’t you see the passion in our eyes What the fuck, is your problem What the fuck, is your problem What the fuck, is your problem What the fuck, what the fuck is your problem Like a bad taste in my mouth I wanna spit you out You’re sickness and disease Of that there ain’t no doubt A slimy, slithering, twisted snake That squirms into our life Discriminate with your hate Bloodsucking parasite We are proud and we are strong They won’t grind us down On that stage where we belong They can’t steal our crown What the fuck is wrong with you We live to fight to keep it true Can’t you see the passion in our eyes What the fuck, is your problem What the fuck, is your problem What the fuck, is your problem What the fuck, what the fuck is your problem What the fuck What the fuck What the fuck What the fuck
4.	Pain 05:50	lyrics	buy track
No way out, trapped inside This Hell that’s been created Scream and shout, But no one hears You’re getting more frustrated You pray the silence carries on You can’t stand and fight you’re not that strong What have you done to deserve this It is not your fault the problem’s his I can see your heart, is tearing you apart Hurt is in your eyes, you try but can’t disguise He used to care, but that all changed When he turned to the bottle From love to hate you became a punching bag His hands they tried to throttle You fell and grabbed that kitchen knife There’ll be no more suffering tonight You just can’t take it anymore And now he’s lying on the floor I can see your heart, is tearing you apart Hurt is in your eyes, you try but can’t disguise I can feel your pain I can feel your pain I can feel your pain I can feel your pain I can feel your pain You prayed the silence carried on Could not stand and fight you weren’t that strong You’d done nothing wrong to deserve this It was not your fault the problem was his I can see your heart, is tearing you apart Hurt is in your eyes, you try but can’t disguise I can feel your pain, it’s happening again I can feel your pain I can feel your pain I can feel your pain I can feel your pain I can feel your pain
5.	Innocence 03:22	lyrics	buy track
Eyes wide full of wonder Her good heart feeds the hunger A simple life so young and carefree Not a bad bone in her body She looks so innocent So fucking innocent A bright smile for those around her Lights up in rain and thunder A world of hope no expectation Leaves the Jealous in frustration She looks so innocent They hate your innocense Wanna break your innocense Despise your innocense They’ll take your innocense from you
6.	Detonator 04:51	lyrics	buy track
White lightning cracks the darkness Spit fire in the sky Then comes a roar of thunder As Heaven starts to cry It’s Frightening, So disturbing, How much longer, Before it’s too late. The ocean tides are rising Scorched earth is burning out Flames torch the eco jungle It’s dying there’s no doubt It’s madness, devastation, God help us... We’ve pushed the detonator, Detonator, watch it explode Follow the fools on the road to extinction, unless we persuade them to save all our lives. Wipe out our natural wonders Nothing left to enjoy Species are disappearing They’re Hell bent to destroy
7.	Under My Skin 04:46	lyrics	buy track
Look into the mirror, who’s that looking back I don’t recognise him, eyes so dead and black Can’t believe that’s really me, What the hell’s gone wrong She ripped my life apart, I never was that strong Scream, what’s happening Did this begin, from deep within Hey, get out of my heart From outta my head From under my skin Trying so hard to forget, it’s not an easy thing You were my world, my beauty queen You were everything Now she’s left I’m a mess, just don’t give a shit Got my bottle and my stuff, so I can take a hit Scream, what’s happening Did this begin, from deep within Hey, get out of my heart From outta my head From under my skin Get Out, From under my skin Get Out, From under my skin Get Out, get out of my head, from under my skin Get Out, get out of my head, from under my skin
8.	Twist The Knife 02:56	lyrics	buy track
Jealousy rages deep in your heart Never believing tore us apart Always suspicious without any proof Now you’ve destroyed us and that is the truth Disguised, Reality for lies Green eyed monster, inside your head Whispering madness, it wants me dead Conjuring stories of make believe Feeding the hunger of falsehood achieved Disguised, the reality for your lies When you twist the knife You ruin my life Hate and anger is rife When you twist the knife You keep twisting the knife

Look at all those pretty girls with superficial smiles Tell you that they love you but they’re necessary lies Compliment you make you feel like you’re the only one Don’t take it all to serious they’re just having fun Hiding, secret pain inside Break out of these chains Come into my parlour said the spider to the fly She will insist you can’t resist no matter how you try She’ll entice you, hypnotise with her come to bed eyes Treat her right and through the night she’ll make it worth your while Praying, searching for the one Never doubting he will come Tattoos and Lipstick Tattoos and Lipstick Tattoos and Lipstick Tattoos and Lipstick Tattoos and Lipstick
10.	Never Take Me Alive 04:30	lyrics	buy track
Wanna string me up, wanna shoot me down Kick my sorry ass out of this town No Judge or Jury gonna hear my pleas Put a gun to my head when I’m on my knees Won’t you help me please But I’ll keep on running, won’t be an easy ride Cos they don’t understand me And I’ll keep on fighting, It’s burning deep inside They’ll never take it away from me. Never gonna make me, Never gonna break me No they’ll never take me alive They’ll never take me alive Think I’m weak but I feel so strong Keep my head down low and it won’t be long When the time is right then you’ll hear me scream And I’ll give ‘em a war like they’ve never seen Like they’ve never seen
11.	Broken 05:48	lyrics	buy track
Long ago my hopes and dreams, became real I met the love of my life and she showed me, how to feel I felt so alive, I just didn’t care About anything else in my life She was my world, my lover my friend Can’t believe it’s the end Should’ve seen the writing on the wall We’d climbed so high we’re bound to fall Into the fire Can’t get any higher Deep inside my heart is frozen Bleed me dry my wounds are open Take me down no words are spoken I am Broken Long ago my path in life was chosen Head was up in the clouds, now reality has been woken With you I was strong, nobody could break The bond we shared together But now my soul aches, my old stone heart breaks Can’t believe it’s the end Should’ve seen the writing on the wall We’d climbed so high we’re bound to fall Into the fire Can’t get any higher
12.	Armageddon 04:16	lyrics	buy track
Doomsday Clock, is counting down, time is drawing near Judgement day, is on its way, Sinners shake with fear Hope and they pray but they know it’s the end of the world There’s nowhere left to hide Hope and they pray but they know it’s the end of the world There’s no escape, our ultimate fate A sea of blood, the final war, no winners or losers this time End of days, apocalypse, we will all pay for our crime Catastrophe, or destiny, consumption has filled us with greed Omnicide, or Wrath of God, Scorched earth leaves us to bleed

about

BLACK ROSE from England, formed in 1980 and were part of the heavy metal scene that was called the nwobhm (new wave of British heavy metal). They toured all over the UK and Europe and released two vinyl albums - 'Boys Will be Boys' in 1984 on Bullet Records and 'Walk it how you talk it' in 1987 on Neat Records.

After splitting up in 1989, BLACK ROSE reformed in 2010 to play at the Cradle of Rock Festival in 2011, the first show after 22 years. The line up now features 3 original members of the band - Steve Bardsley (lead vocals and guitar), Kenny Nicholson (lead guitar) and Paul Fowler (drums) plus new bass player Kiko Rivers.

They released a third album in 2012 on Metalizer Records called 'Cure for your Disease' so 'WTF' will be their fourth studio album, it is also probably the heaviest they've done.
