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.

Silver Lyrics

Machine Head

Yes I hold some keys of gold
With cigarettes and silver bullets
Angels cry and devils lie
The world is our stage
Look inside and try and find
The part of me thats whole
I wish I knew
But I got threw behind
Take my hand
Across this land
Escape this, all the hell inside
Create this man
To make my stand
And break this hardened shell in time
I see a mirror to me
The lines along my face are drawn in
I believe reflections bleed
The sorrows of our souls
Let me know the hurt that shows and wish it all away
Cause now youll see
Why the pain and me
Collide
I see the walls around me
Fall around me
And everything is alright
I see the God among me
Fall among me
And everything beside
I see those walls surround you
Tie and bound you
Youll drown cause youre so
Cold
Cold
Cold
Cold
Take my hand
Across this land
Escape this, all the hell inside
Create this man
To make my stand
And break this hardened shell in time
