Founded in 1992 by former Vio-lence guitarist Robert Flynn and Adam Duce. The first song on their debut album, "Davidian", features the lyrics "Let freedom ring / with a shotgun blast". Subsequently the video was banned from MTV due to its release date being very soon after the Waco Siege which it was apparently describing. Robb Flynn has since said that the song "Davidian" was not written about the Waco Siege but added that line to get people thinking. After their debut album Burn My Eyes (1994) Chris Kontos left to work with Testament and a stand in drummer was used for Machine Head's Donington slot in 1995.

Desire To Fire Lyrics

Machine Head

We turn desire to fire
Electric sparks to the wire
Highered the stakes when we bought
This monster life
Prevail by daring to fail
Others content just to sail
Hail the future we bring
We bring chaos to blocks
Like, riots to watts
Blow up spots, taking the crown
Off the top notch
Create the pace
That you all will follow
Sporadic flow buckles up
Like a calico
We d-o smoke sensimillo
Vodka and c-o-k-e
Is the real deal
Your flubber, never had to suffer
Lifes getting hard
And its only getting rougher
Save some for me
Cants stop what were going to be
Walk with me ,
And take this seed
A fire for you
So dare to fail
Will you
When my pen hits pad
It result in catastrophe
Words and verbs come
To form your disaster
If you want it, you got it
Never hit I spot it
Now come and watch me rise
On the tools, I blew
More money than latrell
You tell, I dont know you?
Think I know you too well
You fell, and stumbled
Laughin as you tumbled
I guess you forget
About the power we rock
Cause all hail the
Machine head battery
The good, the bad, the ugly
Savage in capacity
Yeah you been fucked
Stuck in a rut
Your life has been sucked
Your tail has been tucked
Save some for me
Cant stop what were going to be
Just watch as I demonstrate
The reason we dominate
Walk with me ,
And take this seed
A fire for you
So dare to fail
Will you
If we stand alone
And believe in whole
Would you tell me
Its all I believe in
Yes we stand alone
And believe in whole
And you tell me
Its all I believe in
Because we
Well chew, and spit you, out
And prey upon the weaker
Take what we want
Walk with me ,
And take this seed
A fire for you
So dare to fail
Will you
