Slayer Christ Illusion 1. Flesh Storm [Lyrics & Music: King] Take a deep breath 'Cause it all starts now When you pull the fuckin' pin The shrapnel burns As it tears into the skin Ever wonder what it takes To be questioning your faith This is what it's like When it happens every Goddamn day Violence is our way of life Shards of life Like confetti in the air The flesh storm grows As it breeds despair You hear screams in the distance Fighting the resistance Not cries of war These are just the sounds of pain It's all just psychotic devotion Manipulated with no discretion Relentless War [Lead - Hanneman] Killing's in style And it's now the main event The cameras are whores For The daily bloodshed Like a junkie Hungery for a fix of anything The media devours And feasts upon the inhumane Violence is our way of life It's all too fuckin' clear We can never coincide So let's all drink To genocide All the venomous sights Border on the arcane In times of war Everything is bound by pain It's all just psychotic devotion Manipulated with no discretion Relentless War Warfare knows no compassion Thrives with no evolution Unstable minds exacerbate Unrest in peace [Lead King] There's no future The world is dead So save the last Bullet for your head Only fallen have won Because the fallen can't run My vision's not obscure For war there is no cure So here the only law Is men killing men For someone else's cause It's all just psychotic devotion Manipulated with no discretion Relentless War 2. Catalyst [Lyrics & Music: King] [All Leads: King] Attitude is my addiction I live life with no regret Unlike it's my conviction That sets me apart from the rest I live for competition Your cynicism only makes my stronger I am the culmination Setting the Standard that all will follow I live it every day Don't know another way Within my eyes there is devastation an fury You can't understand In my fight Win by attrition I bring it with that I fucking am You never dealt with such rejection Licking your wounds that won't fucking heal You've never seen so much aggression I am the scream to your fucking silence I live it every day Don't know another way Attitude is my addiction I live life with no regret Unlike you it's my affliction That creates the template of all that I am You know I know No matter what you say You'll be beaten today Like every other day Something about you Keeps you from letting go Of lame obsessions Built up inside you Forget the guesswork You're starting at the source Gazing into my eyes You'll see there's no remorse 'cause this is my war All day and every day It's all about the conflict Yeah! Bring on the competition Your pessimism only makes my stronger I am the culmination The fucking Standard that all will follow I live it every day Don't know another way 3. Skeleton Christ [King] Unbound God's creation Has grown into the sinner Abandoned innocence Impenitent transgressor Escape mortality They say your life can change If you take God's hand Embrace rebirth Your cleansing's so divine To be reborn in God's eyes You'll never touch God's hand You'll never taste God's breath Because you'll never see the second coming Life's too short to be focused on insanity I've seen the ways of God I'll take the devil any day Hail Satan [Lead King] Your faith has atrophied And rots in hell's asylum Despondence tears you down A free-falling social stain Escape atrocity They say your life can change If you take God's hand Embrace rebirth Your cleansing's so divine To be reborn in God's lies You'll never touch God's hand You'll never taste God's breath Because you'll never see the second coming It's all a fuckin' mockery No grasp upon reality It's mind control for Compulsory religion and the Skeleton Christ You'll never touch God's hand You'll never taste God's breath Because you'll never see the second coming I laugh at the abortion known as Christianity I've seen the ways of God I'll take the devil any day Hail Satan [Lead King] You'll never touch God's hand You'll never taste God's breath Because you'll never see the second coming It's all a fuckin' mockery No grasp upon reality It's mind control for Compulsory religion and the Skeleton Christ [Lead Hanneman] 4. Eyes Of The Insane [Lyrics & Music: King] A soldier's heart Reflecting back at me I keep seeing mutilated faces Even in my dreams Distorted images Flashing rapidly Psychotically abusing me Devouring my brain The eyes of the insane On a demented campaign Tortured spirits Will not let me rest These thoughts of mutilated faces Completely possessed Fragmented images Flashing rapidly Psychotically abusing me Whirling through my head Shellshocked Battle fatigue Overwhelming anxiety Flashbacks Panic attacks Death raising it's ugly face at me! Got to make it stop Can't take it any more They're all dead Keep haunting me They just keep coming back for more! The eyes of the insane On a demented campaign Flashbacks Panic attacks Death raising it's ugly face at me! Got to make it stop Can't take it any more! Death's face keeps haunting me And just keeps coming back for more! Got to make it stop Can't take it any more! Death's face keeps haunting me And just keeps coming back for more! A soldier Of misfortune I owe my pain and suffering To this hell These demons Ripping through my soul Evil's relentless hostility Won't let me sleep Shellshocked Battle fatigue Devastating insanity Flashbacks Panic attacks Death's rotting He's coming for me!! 5. Jihad I have witnessed your death I've seen it many times Your tortured screams Your decrypted little mind A father's son With pathetic eyes that bleed Twins in the end Begin and let the brothers fall I will see you burned alive Screaming for your God I will hunt you down again for Him God won't judge what I've done He crawls upon my feet A privileged pain Beneath buried are your dead On splintered bones I walk Sifting through the blood Besieged to fear Await the coming of the God! I will watch you die again for Him Blood is raining downward The stain reflects the sun Conquer divide within Terrorize the mind I've seen the end it's yours Rosary in hand Your selfish flesh it melts Spilling from the sky I will see you burn alive Screaming for your God I will watch you die This is God's war God's war This is God's war God's war War of holy principles I'm seeking God's help in your destruction Slit the throat of heathen man And let his blood dilute the water Bury your dead Fuck your God erase his name A lady weeps insane with sorrow I'll take his towers from the world You're fucking raped upon your deathbed This is God's war God's war This is God's war God's war Fucking holy war Be optimistic, happy, and calm Show no fear or anxiety Smile at the face of God And your reward will be eternity Holy warriors your patience will be justified Everything is for Him You must not comfort the animal before you kill it Strike as champions at the heart of the non-believers Strike above the neck and at all extremities For it's a point of no return for Almighty God God will give victory to his faithful servants When you reach ground zero you will have killed the enemy The Great Satan! 6. Consfearacy [King] [All Leads: King] I need to redefine All the things I hate today Politics that fail From a president derailed I hate the shit economy It might as well be sodomy I know that in the end I'm expected to pretend But I can't relate To your verbal idiocy No one's in control When the government's the enemy So light the fuse Impose your views Consfearacy Is anarchy Actions of hostility Breeds conformity Annihilation will begin Extermination from within So light the fuse Impose your views Consfearacy Is anarchy I need to redefine How I see the world today Seems that all the war Didn't even up the score It's only mind pollution There is no resolution Still I know that in the end I'm expected to pretend That I can Think of myself Blame it all on someone else Half-hearted smile While you look the other way I can't relate To your verbal idiocy No one's in control When the government's the enemy So light the fuse Impose your views Consfearacy Is anarchy 7. Catatonic [King] Fear is just interpretation Feeds my motivation Our time together is A bloodbath of serenity Plead no more There's no confusing the final Excitation My rancid passion is electrified Accept this My religion of torture I can't see any purity Just imperfection and obscenity My blood soaked hands devise Your slow methodic demise Asphyxiate the world It's blind without me Catatonic Catatonic I'm numb in priceless solitude Exhilarating keeping pieces of you near [Lead King] Visions of decapitation My mental masturbation I try to resurrect Your consciousness, your intellect Once so pure Your pain excites and tests me Excitation The empty stare emitting from your eye Embrace it My religion of torture All I see are the impurities The imperfections and obscenities [Lead King / Hanneman] Accept this My religion of torture Excitation The rancid passion coming from your eyes My blood soaked hands devise Your slow methodic demise Asphyxiate the world It's blind without me Catatonic Catatonic I'm numb in priceless solitude Exhilarating all the voices multitudes I can't stop because it's so hypnotic Catatonic 8. Black Serenade [Music: Hanneman; lyrics: Hanneman / Araya] Terrorize frozen eyes stare deep in me Paralyzed inside death breeds on your pain Pretty lace lie in hate you wear my scars Terrified you find that you push me too far Your repulsiveness reminds me of dead flesh Rotting corpse the smell of your putrid fucking soul Petrified that I decide the moment of your death Belongs to me the taste is sweet it's so unreal Your God weeps, it bleeds, it begs for me God is letting you recover [Lead Hanneman] Welcome to my Black Serenade The entrance of my hell your pain Scream your song the Black Serenade Live in fear a mind insane Voice inside my head Your face still shows itself to me Telling me you're dead Staring at your Lifeless body I saw you fucking die My mind's tearing itself apart Screaming from the inside Release this pain from my fucking heart Destroy the empty shell Smash away the haunting fear I hate your endless stare Watching as I fuck your corpse Welcome to my Black Serenade The entrance of my hell your pain Walk through a tortured mind You'll scream your song in time Welcome to my Black Serenade The entrance of my hell your pain Flesh is burnt the Black Serenade Live in fear no coming back [Lead King] Welcome to my Black Serenade The entrance of my hell your pain Walk through a tortured mind You'll scream your song in time Welcome to my Black Serenade The entrance of my hell your pain Flesh is burnt the Black Serenade Live in fear death back 9. Cult Oppression is the Holy Law In God I distrust In time His monuments will fall Like ashes to dust Is war and creed the master plan? The Bible's where it all began Its propaganda sells despair And spreads the virus everywhere [Refrain:] Religion is hate Religion is fear Religion is war Religion is rape Religion's obscene Religion's a whore The pestilence of Jesus Christ There never was a sacrifice No man upon the crucifix Beware the cult of purity Infectious imbecility I've made my choice 666! [Solo - Hanneman] Corruption breeds the pedophile Don't pray for the priest Confession finds the lonely child God preys on the weak You think your soul can still be saved I think you're fucking miles away Scream out loud, here's where you begin Forgive me Father for I have sinned! [Refrain:] Religion is hate Religion is fear Religion is war Religion is rape Religion's obscene Religion's a whore The target's fucking Jesus Christ I would've lead the sacrifice And nailed him to the crucifix Beware the cult of purity Infectious imbecility I've made my choice 666! Jesus is pain Jesus is gore Jesus is the blood That's spilled in war He's everything He's all things dead He's pulling on the trigger Pointed at your head! Through the fear you're sold into the fraud Revelation, Revolution, I see through your Christ illusion! [Solo - King] The war on terror just drags along My war with God is growing strong His propaganda sells despair And spreads this violence everywhere [Refrain:] Religion is hate Religion is fear Religion is war Religion is rape Religion's obscene Religion's a whore There is no fucking Jesus Christ There never was a sacrifice No man upon the crucifix Beware the cult of purity Infectious imbecility I've made my choice 666! 10. Supremist [King] Crushing all you worthless goals I define control Your pain's my fucking ecstasy So putrid is my world of tyranny To accentuate your desperation Flesh from bone I'll rip and tear I hate the fact that we breath the same air Helpless as I dominate I won't celebrate Until you've all been crucified I can not rest till everyone has died I can't stand the victim in you Infecting everything that I do I will eradicate Obliterate depopulate Divine atrocious suffering Cleansation of the weak Supremacy Pissing on your faith Incinerate God's whore Perpetual is my reign I will eat your soul [Lead King] Must maintain control of the weak [Lead Hanneman] Must maintain control of the weak Must contain the minds of the free 11. Final Six [bonus track] Surrender your cloth and collar priest There's no need for your beliefs in war This is a place for heathens Into that darkness fires illuminate Grotesquely swollen by the heat A half-burned corpse hanging naked A stream is poisoned by the dead I ghostly light, debris of war Lead us to the brink of extinction The time has come for you now to finish it What has man become a funeral pyre Now that judgement's near prepare to die Need to suffer lust for power mindless hunger never win Final six is here the cycle ends I have come for you my child And the gift I bring is murder Sumarian death in eastern winds Face the father of your terror Godless warheads wait to breath Set their sights on history Distant silhouettes of the dead Blacken face screams through the ashes Lead us to the brink of extinction The time has come for you now to finish it What has man become a funeral pyre Now that judgement's near prepare to die Need to suffer lust for power mindless hunger never win Final six is here the cycle ends Mankind owes his pain to hell As he brings the end upon himself Arms rising from the ashes In the ghastly light of human flares Berith soldiers capture souls Shadows of human sacrifice The return of everything that's dead A cryptic promise from the heavens Lead us to the brink of extinction The time has come for you now to finish it Dead flowers for a faceless dead A city engulfed by the smell of the death Bodies piled beneath the mist Walking dead among the living The world will bleed while horseman ride Now that God has wept for Judas Days are numbered find your grave Forever trying to escape to hell
