lyrics

Got to make it happen
I've got no choice
It's my lot to silence your voice

Time to make a stand
I've got to cut you off, my friend
You wonder why
And you wake up when it's time to die

It's become my problem
It's become my chore
I have to make sure you're no more

Only one of ten
Designed to bring you to your end
You wonder why
I don't shoot you in the ….

Once more and I will find
My perfect alibi

I don't have no answers
But I have no doubt
It's my job to rub you out

Soon it's just we two
And I'll do what I have to do
I watch you cry
It's time to finally say good ….

Once more and I will find
My perfect alibi
I'll do what I have to do
To rid this world of you

about

Avenue Victor Hugo Portland, Oregon

Avenue Victor Hugo has been tearing up Portland, OR since they formed in 2011. A power trio, they mix up rock, pop, metal, and 70's psych into one big ball of sound. AVH is well worth the investigation.

The Great Barrier Reefer
by Bongripper

Easily my favorite ever 65+ minute instrumental doom metal cut. Easily one of my fav recordings of all time. Bongripper are genius. Check out everything they've got 'cos everything they've got rocks. Avenue Victor Hugo
