King Of Sodom And Gomorrah
W.A.S.P. · Inside The Electric Circus [1986]
So you wanna know what's going on
When we get wild, and we're up until dawn
The parties and the stories, they're all true
Ain't nothing left when we're through
One distant land where it's all sin and sand
King of Sodom, I want the flesh
Gotta have it, I love it to death
King of Sodom, I eat 'em alive
Like a savage, the strong will survive
Wicked souls, a hunger for lust
You lay it down, we're going for bust
We live a life, that's hell on wheels
You don't know how it feels
Ride the wind, and soon you'll all be in
King of Sodom, I want the flesh
Gotta have it, I love it to death
King of Sodom, I eat 'em alive
Like a savage, the strong will survive
Sodom and Gommorrah - ooh, sweet Gommorrah
We're the present tribe - the present tribe
Children of the fire - of the fire
Burning up alive, alive, alive, alive
King of Sodom, I want the flesh
Gotta have it, I love it to death
King of Sodom, I eat 'em alive
Like a savage, the strong will survive
King of Sodom, I want the flesh
Gotta have it, I love it to death
King of Sodom, I eat 'em alive
Like a savage, the strong will survive
When we get wild, and we're up until dawn
The parties and the stories, they're all true
Ain't nothing left when we're through
One distant land where it's all sin and sand
King of Sodom, I want the flesh
Gotta have it, I love it to death
King of Sodom, I eat 'em alive
Like a savage, the strong will survive
Wicked souls, a hunger for lust
You lay it down, we're going for bust
We live a life, that's hell on wheels
You don't know how it feels
Ride the wind, and soon you'll all be in
King of Sodom, I want the flesh
Gotta have it, I love it to death
King of Sodom, I eat 'em alive
Like a savage, the strong will survive
Sodom and Gommorrah - ooh, sweet Gommorrah
We're the present tribe - the present tribe
Children of the fire - of the fire
Burning up alive, alive, alive, alive
King of Sodom, I want the flesh
Gotta have it, I love it to death
King of Sodom, I eat 'em alive
Like a savage, the strong will survive
King of Sodom, I want the flesh
Gotta have it, I love it to death
King of Sodom, I eat 'em alive
Like a savage, the strong will survive
King Of Sodom And Gomorrah
Released on W.A.S.P.'s 1986 album Inside The Electric Circus, "King Of Sodom And Gomorrah" stands as a defining track in the band's early heavy metal catalog. The song exemplifies the genre's raw energy and theatrical aggression, featuring the band's signature vocal style and guitar-driven riffs that became hallmarks of their sound. As a key component of their discography from the mid-1980s, the recording captures the transition from pure thrash to the more polished heavy metal aesthetic that would characterize their later work. It remains a staple for fans of the era, representing the high-octane performance style that established W.A.S.P. as a prominent force in American heavy metal.
