Sadistic soldiers of the rising sun
1937's when the rape had begun
The ancient city fell under imperial rule
By an engine of war and lust, savage and cruel
Assembly line efficiency of killing machines
Unbridled fury of the sick and obscene
Systematic sexual degradation
The more perverse the greater exaltation
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
They turned the waters of the Yangtze red with blood
Cast aside and brutalized
Terrific horror made to terrorize
Bestial and violent, six weeks of suffering
So black was the day they marched through the gates
Their fate was beckoning
Tanks ran over men nailed to boards
Decapitations with an officer's sword
Gang rape of women, both the young and the old
Frozen to death in waters ice cold
Disembowelment, some are buried alive
Suicide's preferred for those who survive
The stench of corpses everywhere in the streets
Dogs feast on the rotting meat
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
They turned the waters of the Yangtze red with blood
Cast aside and brutalized
Terrific horror made to terrorize
Bestial and violent, six weeks of suffering
So black was the day they marched through the gates
Their fate was beckoning
It was the rape of Nanking
Thousands forced into prostitution
So many years and still no restitution
The carnage of Carthage so easily outdone
Add all the blood you get 1200 tons
Massacre removed from history books
No mention of men hung from iron hooks
All counter to the rules of war
They made a city an army's whore
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
They turned the waters of the Yangtze red with blood
Cast aside and brutalized
Terrific horror made to terrorize
Bestial and violent, six weeks of suffering
So black was the day, they marched through the gates
Their fate was beckoning
It was the rape of Nanking

Exodus è una storica band di thrash metal statunitense, attiva dal 1979. Originari di San Francisco, California, sono considerati uno dei pilastri del genere thrash metal insieme a Metallica, Slayer e Megadeth. Conosciuti per il loro sound aggressivo, le performance frenetiche e testi spesso politici o sociali, Exodus ha influenzato innumerevoli band metal nel corso degli anni. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "Bonded by Blood", "Strike Every Chord" e "Pleasures of the Flesh". L'album di debutto "Bonded by Blood" (1985) è considerato un classico del genere thrash metal, mentre "Fabulous Disaster" (1987) ha consolidato il loro successo.
