Sodom is a German thrash metal band formed in 1982. They are considered one of the three biggest teutonic thrash metal bands — the other two are Kreator and Destruction. Sodom's original line-up consisted of Tom Angelripper, Chris Witchhunter and Aggressor. Taking inspiration from bands such as Motörhead and Venom, they released two demos which led to a record deal with Steamhammer. Aggressor left the band shortly before releasing the In the Sign of Evil EP (generally regarded as an important early black metal release), and was replaced by Grave Violator, who did not last long himself.

Better Off Dead Lyrics

Sodom

Born to die in a game
Where there is no return
Try to find a pleasant means of death
All your life you have learnt
Tortured by the world till you
Draw your final breath
Terror, hate
Murder, rape
Through your life trying hard
To find out what it means
Those who know all have lost their mind
Through their eyes we can see
That nothing's to obscene
Empty shells, nothing there
Just bodies left behind
Terror, hate
Murder, rape
In this nightmare life time
You're better off dead
Pain and warfare, sex-crime
You're better off dead
Broken dreams devastated
By your will to live
Ruined by malignance and decay
We're betrayed until
There is nothing more to give
Praying for a final peace
To be there in our graves
Terror, hate
Murder, rape
In this nightmare life time
You're better off dead
Pain and warfare, sex-crime
You're better off dead
Terror, hate
Murder, rape
In this nightmare life time
You're better off dead
Pain and warfare, sex-crime
You're better off dead
In this nightmare life time
You're better off dead
Pain and warfare, sex-crime
You're better off dead
Better off dead
