    Blower

    by: Voivod

    Like a killer in the state
    Like a rat in a maze
    Living in a city of freak
    Lives on children in the snow
    It's too late you can't go
    Smashes on with turning teeth
    Run like blower
    Eats like a grinder
    The wheels of chains
    Roles and roles again
    It was marching like a prowler
    Sacrifice the raw flesh
    You are nice, you are cash
    Here come the flesh eater
    Chatterning sound of iron
    You smell the smoke of carbone
    Tell me if it's near
    I'm in the snow
    I panic, I can't go
