Blood In, Blood Out Lyrics

We're throwing down the gauntlet
Chomping at the bit about to lay down the law
Show you all the way
Bare witness to genesis
Of the violence the way it was back in the day.
We've been here from the start with a one track mind,
We kept the hate alive.
Always had the power, now is zero hour,
Tonight we're gonna fight like it's 1985.

Blood In, Blood Out,
All I'm telling you is do anything you wanna do
Blood in, blood out,
This is a ****ing dynasty of trash notoriety.
Dive in or bow out,
If you have the pedigree, welcome to the family.
All in or all out,
Half way, no way. Give it all you've got!
We wrote the book, so you better know the plot
New breed, old creed
Let's see what you brought.
This shit has turned into a rout
Blood in, blood out.

Stand tall, show you've got no backbone.
Welcome all who never took more than gave
Punish all deceptions, no exceptions
Fortune always favors the brave
Bring your anger,
Bring the mayhem,
Anything you do is allowed.
You're the kings of pit insanity
Tonight we're gonna rage and make Paul Baloff proud.

Blood in, blood out,
All I'm telling you is do anything you wanna do
Blood in, blood out,
This is a ****ing dynasty of trash notoriety.
Dive in or bow out,
If you have the pedigree, welcome to the family.
All in or all out,
Half way, no way. Give it all you've got!
We wrote the book, so you better know the plot
New breed, old creed
Let's see what you brought.
This shit has turned into a rout
Blood in, blood out.

We're bringing down the thunder
Bottling the light, battering the way
Burning down the place
Our one stance, zero tolerance
Time to cut to the chase
We expect nothing less than a full scale riot
Give everything that you've got
Put an end to the peace and quiet
Let's start the pit that time forgot.

Blood in, blood out,
All I'm telling you is do anything you wanna do
Blood in, blood out,
This is a ****ing dynasty of trash notoriety.
Dive in or bow out,
If you have the pedigree, welcome to the family.
All in or all out,
Half way, no way. Give it all you've got!
We wrote the book, so you better know the plot
New breed, old creed
Let's see what you brought.
This shit has turned into a rout
Blood in, blood out.

Blood In, Blood Out Song Chart

Many fans have queried if the title track of Blood In, Blood Out refers to the firing of vocalist Rob Dukes during the recording of the album and his replacement by previous frontman Steve "Zetro" Souza .

However, guitarist Gary Holt told Billboard magazine the song has nothing to do with Dukes leaving the band. "A lot of people asked if [the song] had anything to do with Rob being replaced in the band, but as convenient as that sounds, the title, the lyrics, they were all there when Rob was recording it," said Holt with a laugh. "I hate to disappoint them on that one. It wasn't autobiographical."

The disc's title was inspired by Holt's television viewing. "When I was working on the record, I was sitting around watching TV series like Gangland and all these locked-up prison reality shows," said Holt. "And I thought, 'Yeah, that's like Exodus.' It's a brotherhood. You bleed to get in, you bleed to get out."

The song's music video was directed by Shan Dan Horan, who is Vice President of Operations at Artery Recordings. The clip features hundreds of dedicated Bay Area Exodus fans moshing and brawling to the tune. "Directing this music video has been a pleasure. Having the task to find hundreds of metal heads to fill up a dark room with very limited time seemed like a tough task," said Horan. "What I found however, was an overwhelming response from some of the most positive and energetic fans I've ever met. I feel honored to have played a small role in that."

"Old metalheads, young ones, to even a guy that showed up in his wheelchair," he added. "The fact of the matter is everyone was accepted and everyone picked up their brethren when they would fall in the pit. To me that's what 'Blood In, Blood Out' is about. While we all come from different backgrounds – once a metal head, always a metal head. That's something that stays in your blood."
