Verse 1 You lift them up Then bring them down To strip them of their pride Take away The right of birth Legacy homicide Rumor mills To grind them down Why are you afraid Of who they May become Now you masquerade Chorus: Twisting contorting allegory Spinning truth from a web of lies Manipulating accusations Victimizing those you despise Psychological Gaslighting You’re the Psycho of Sabotage Verse 2 Hometown hero Put me down Bombastic selfish prick Hold me down With you name So I won't amount to shit Fool them all With your lies Master of deceit King of kings Rapes the girls And gets away scot free Chorus: Verse 3 Military man Wants a job Aboard a cargo ship Waiting for that call To come aboard To escape your dictatorship But your at home You pick up the phone And your Jealousy overcomes You tell them no He can't go Cycle of Sabotage Chorus: Verse 4 Looking back I see your hands Manipulating destiny I will live In your face And reclaim my legacy Your getting old And alone No one to impress I overcame Your masquerade Your powerless to oppress

Leather bent and Hell bound Took to the flame of what she found Across the desert wide An angel high In a Devil's land she's crowned She’s so torn to right the wrong A Savior’s right to sing her song Take the fight To make things right To the bitter end she is strong Killstrap is the reckoning Killstrap come for all to see Killstrap the reckoning you need Killstrap gonna set you free. Killstrap is the reckoning Killstrap come for all to see Killstrap the reckoning you need Killstrap gonna set you free She took to the fight where there was no justice The innocent cried please help us Evil fled The wrath of her hand Saved them from blood shed Her mission is to lay down hell No mercy given as they fell Peace to the land Satan is in her hand She is the Devil's angel’s death bombshell Killstrap is the reckoning Killstrap come for all to see Killstrap the reckoning you need Killstrap gonna set you free Killstrap is the reckoning Killstrap come for all to see Killstrap the reckoning you need Killstrap gonna set you free Wiping the filth from the street As traffickers prey on the weak Swinging the sword Against the hoard The demon heads lay at her feet The night war rages on The sun breaks open the dawn The land lay red With bloody dead The righteous now avenged. Killstrap is the reckoning Killstrap come for all to see Killstrap the reckoning you need Killstrap gonna set you free Killstrap is the reckoning Killstrap come for all to see Killstrap the reckoning you need Killstrap gonna set you free Day breaks into peace Freedom is received Restore their life From the night The darkness will recede Leather bent and Hell bound. Took to the flame of what she found Across the desert wide. An angel high In a Devil’s land she is crowned Killstrap is the reckoning Killstrap come for all to see Killstrap the reckoning you need Killstrap gonna set you free Killstrap is the reckoning Killstrap come for all to see Killstrap the reckoning you need Killstrap gonna set you free

Verse 1 Counting corporate beans He wants what he sees Stands up from his chair To ask her Quiet gentle man Would never raise a hand He is perfect and He is well mannered There is a place I know Where we can go Where our dreams Are all that matters I touch your skin Then it all begins And soon dear Your blood will splatter Chorus: Beneath the surface Of morality Lurks the darkest secrets Beneath the surface Of the skin Hides the mortal sinner Beneath the surface Of the Psyche Veils the mental torment Beneath surface Of the conscience Cloaks deeds of the sordid Verse 2 Righteous pious Paul He answered the call Of the Lord God The Holy Master Always on his game They all know his name The luminary Darling pastor I start moving in To a place of sin I want what fills my eyes With pleasure Take a walk with me Behind the rectory Silence while I raid Your treasure Chorus: Beneath the surface Of morality Lurks the darkest secrets Beneath the surface Of the skin Hides the mortal sinner Beneath the surface Of the Psyche Veils the mental torment Beneath surface Of the conscience Cloaks deeds of the sordid Verse3 Fight for Uncle Sam And you'll become a man Circumvent the globe In style Land on foreign shores Casualties of war All part of Rank and File Try to clear my head The faces of the dead The desire Overtakes me I need to quell the pain So I run it through my veins And let it Numb my psyche Chorus: Beneath the surface Of morality Lurks the darkest secrets Beneath the surface Of the skin Hides the mortal sinner Beneath the surface Of the Psyche Veil the mental torment Beneath surface Of the conscience Cloaks deeds of the sordid Verse 4 Such a nice young girl A joy to the world Someday she'll Be a leader Counting corporate beans Or military green Perhaps like Paul She'll be a preacher I see all the lies And heard their alibis They're silent while Paul raids My treasure I cut it in deep Until I start to bleed I need to release The pressure

Verse 1 Mid eastern dunes arising The sand cascades like snow Fire on the horizon Blue sky fades into smoke Desert heat is looming Breathing gritty air A heavy silence weighing Foreshadowing despair Five klicks away the kill zone The smell of death’s approach Awaiting for the signal The troops will then roll out Chorus: Devils deadly cross Thunderbolt Warthog Breathing Dragon’s Breath Gatling flying death Devils deadly cross Thunderbolt Warthog Breathing Dragon’s Breath Gatling flying death Verse 2: The sand is blowing sideways As the fire storms approach The Enemy is encroaching We've got nowhere to go Time to get to work And use my proven skills Direct hit has been taken Opposition gaining kills Heavy suppressing fire Hot lead guillotine Call in Air Support The Warthog Death machine Chorus: Devils deadly cross Thunderbolt Warthog Breathing Dragon’s Breath Gatling flying death Devils deadly cross Thunderbolt Warthog Breathing Dragon’s Breath Gatling flying death Verse 3: Avenger breathing fire Faster than the speed of sound Warthog masters of disaster Devils cross shadows the ground Circle slowly banking Hear the engines whine Enemy in panic They know it’s time to die Can hear the ground troops calling Fear is in his voice 30 mm freedoms coming The enemy destroyed Chorus: Devils deadly cross Thunderbolt Warthog Breathing Dragon’s Breath Gatling flying death Devils deadly cross Thunderbolt Warthog Breathing Dragon’s Breath Gatling flying death

about

Heavy metal band Killstrap originates from central Wisconsin and consists of its founders, Kris Fox and Drake Sass, along with special guest Mr. Paul Sears.

Killstrap emerged as a musical collaboration, twenty-five years in the making, between cousins Fox and Sass. With Sass providing the initial concept, Fox set about recording guitar tracks and quickly had the structure for an eight song album.

Not wanting to lose momentum, Fox called upon his alter ego, Kennee Fairlane, to handle bass duties and enlisted D.C. progressive music scene virtuoso Paul Sears (of The Muffins fame) for drumming. With the instrumental framework in place, the stage was set to weave a lyrical tapestry infused with the darker facets of human experience. Delving deep into his psyche, Fox recorded the lyrics in just two sessions, followed by Sass adding backing vocals.

Constrained by budget, Killstrap took on the challenge of mixing the album themselves. Consequently, Fox was unanimously chosen to mix and produce their debut album, henceforth titled “Ticket to Death.”

Killstrap lineup:
Kris Fox - guitars/vocals
Drake Sass - backing vocals
Paul Sears - drums
Kennee Fairlane - bass

Killstrap Wisconsin

Killstrap was formed in the summer of 2019 when front man Drake Sass and guitarist Kris Fox of grunge band Heilzaam were kicking around some ridiculous song title ideas for spoof band, Vomitorium. The pair decided the ideas were too good to be ignored and set about writing and recording Killstrap’s debut, Ticket to Death. ... more
