Shawn Welch
Shawn Welch drops his latest heavy metal anthem, a blistering track that pulls no punches and takes aim at the political chaos of today. Produced by world-famous metal producer and Flotsam and Jetsam drummer Ken Mary, this track is a masterclass in raw power and precision.
With razor-sharp lyrics that cut to the heart of corruption and manipulation—“Empty mind, empty out the barren soul / Rattle bars on the cage of control”—and with a jaw-dropping guitar solo by Christian Vasquezthat will leave you breathless, this song is more than music—it’s a battle cry for those who refuse to stay silent.

EMPTY THE CLIP
Empty mind empty out the baron soul
Rattle bars on the cage of control
Courage high my fist to your lips
Freedom falling into the black hole
Sacred sins are brought into the blinding light
Dying empathy in broken disgrace
Nightmare surprise smoke in your eyes
Wipe the blood never leaving a trace
With that itchy little finger
and that shotgun in my face
I’m not your dirty politician
takes the fall and you replace
Release the whores from the pit
Stop the wars empty the clip
Killswitch thriller calls from the mainstream
Battle scars baked from the TV screen
Take a ride on the ratings of bullshit
Feed the wars for the killing machine
Sleeping giants step into the crossroads
Out of the limelight do as they please
A kick in the chest never give it a rest
Either way you better give it your best
Drain the sewage in the sand
Sacred sins are safe with me
Choosing the less of two evils
That decide your enemy
This divided class of power
crash the puppets to their knees
Taste the bile and arrest then
Shake the lies and their disease
Release the whores from the pit
Stop the wars empty the clip
Release the whores from the pit
Stop the wars empty the clip
Noiseless falls from the ax
The butcher grooms this bride in black
Like frogs we boil in the sun
Do or die AM I THE ONE
Trojan horses prison walls
Against this weapon noiseless fall
Freeze the heart and choke the veins…
I give you warmth-you give me cold
You bring the fear to break my soul
Nowhere is life without rain
All the fire in the world
Could never burn away the pain
Semperfy into the state of rock and roll
Night of the crime never gets old
Backseat driver spins into a daydream
Locked down and ready to roll
Blitzkrieg killer swings from the door hinge
Fill the order from the man in orange
Blood in your eyes and a gun on your hip
No way to forgive and forget
Drone strike of the hour
From the river to the sea
Beware the FLOTSAM AND THE JETSAM
So decide your enemy
Release the whores from the pit
Stop the wars empty the clip
Release the whores from the pit
Stop the wars empty the clip
No more speeches, no more hate
No more crises you create
No more sorrow
No closed doors
No tomorrow’s endless wars..
