Annihilator - "Snake in the Grass" (Un-Plugged)

You were the world to me
I thought that
I would always be there
For you
I was too blind to see
I would've climbed
The highest mountain
For you

You gave me something
To hope for
You made me feel like new
But tonight it's over
And we're through
And we're through

I guess you've taken me for granted
You've filled my world full of lies
I want to know, give me some answers
But you can't even look me in the eyes

Well I've taken all the shit that I will take from you
And I've only just begun to see the light

You're just a big disgrace
Turn around and get out of my face
You've got no fucking class
Reptile
You're a snake in the grass

All the times we had together
Were they real or just a fantasy?
So tell me why I wasn't good enough for you?
Just maybe you're not good enough for me

Well I've taken all the shit that I will take from you
And I've only just begun to see the light
You've been running around
Having fun with anyone
I don't believe you have the right

You're just a big disgrace
Turn around and get out of my face
You've got no fucking class
Reptile
You're a snake in the grass

You're just a big disgrace
Get out of my fucking face
You've got no ??? class
Reptile
Snake in the grass

Why?
Tell me why you're crying?
You've brought this on yourself (brought this on yourself)
Lie
Tell me why you're lying?
It's time to put you on your shelf (put you on your shelf)
Damn it!

Looks like I've taken you for granted
And I've seen right
Through your disguise
Tomorrow's going to be
A better day for me
You can find someone else to victimize, yeah

Well I've taken all the shit that I will take from you
And I've only just begun to see the light
You've been running around
Having fun with anyone
I don't believe you have the right

You're just a big disgrace
Turn around and get out of my face
You've got no fucking class
Reptile
You're a snake in the grass

You're just a big disgrace
Turn around and get out of my face
You've got no fucking class
Reptile
Snake in the grass
Snake in the grass, yeah

Το τέταρτο live album (στην μακρόχρονη καριέρα τους) κυκλοφόρησαν προ τετραετίας οι Annihilator. Τιτλοφορείται "Triple Threat" και περιλάμβανε ουσιαστικά δύο δίσκους. Ο πρώτος ("Live at the Bang Your Head Festival") ηχογραφήθηκε το 2016 στο μουσικό φεστιβάλ Bang Your Head, ενώ ο δεύτερος ("Un-plugged: The Watersound Studios Sessions") περιλάμβανε ακουστικές εκτελέσεις τραγουδιών τους...

Δελτίο τύπου: «'Snake in the Grass' taken from "Triple Threat" by the Legendary Canadian thrash/heavy metal masters Annihilator! Annihilator proudly present Triple Threat, which includes Annihilator’s classics performed acoustically, with band leader / guitarist / songwriter and vocalist Jeff Waters bringing together band members Aaron Homma and Richard Hinks, Vancouver BC drummer and friend Marc LeFrance plus Ottawa session player Pat Robillard.

Recorded and mixed by Waters (with Marty Sobb), this quintet recorded everything live, off the floor and in single takes at Watersound Studios in Dunrobin, Canada during late May and early June, 2016. The release also features Annihilator’s vicious set from the 2016 Bang Your Head Festival, a set which illustrates the very best of what Annihilator is known for -tight, sharp, technically- excellent and melodic thrash metal music. "Triple Threat" includes some exclusive inside-Annihilator off-stage perspective, courtesy of Jeff Waters’ own camera, which captures further elements, flavours and detail of the band which fans will flip over.»
