Screaming From The Sky 11. Wicked 12. Point 1. Bitter Peace [Music & Lyrics: Hanneman] Initiate blood purge Coalition in massacre Mechanized high tech Whole sale death in effect Mutually assured Destruction will occur Genocide revised Same pain through diverse eyes Can't stop the warring factions Hostile from the start Always war always Ending bitter peace Not the last third war Blood spills for evermore Patriot hard line Lay siege till the end of time No longer kill your brother Just slaughter one another Watch for the deadly other This sibling is a fucker Can't stop the warring factions Global tension starts aggression Peace breaks out then Breeds contempt unrest [Lead: Hanneman/King] Without a reason to fight A time to kill Sick lust for skeletal flesh A taste for all decay Enter the soldier blind Stalking the faceless hunt There is no conscience in this world That can be reached for peace Why face the human question The need to hate Dead stare through cynical eyes A trust in only pain Murder within the skin Engrave the art of war Become death's vile parade March on embrace the violent mind Can't stop the warring factions Global tension starts aggression Peace breaks out then Breeds contempt unrest One cryptic reason for life murder 2. Death's Head [Music & Lyrics: Hanneman] Death's pointed at your head Your mind's on the trigger pull it Bludgeon bodies give up their muted horror story Scene of your rage Death is not strange Blood on the walls You stand alone satisfied I'll wake the silence in you I'll shoot the violence Terrified by the thought that you are all alone Paralyzed by the fact that you are all alone You're losing your mind, I'm losing control You're losing your mind, as I bury your world I'll wake the silence in you I'll shoot the violence I can't remember yet someone always seems to die You are the reason why I became the chosen one I've got the right God makes no sense I've got the right I feel my back against the wall [Lead: Hanneman] Death's pointed at your head Your mind's on the trigger pull it Bludgeon bodies give up their muted horror story Scene of my rage Scene of my rage Death is your name You're facing your grave I taste your tears caress your face I watch you lie insane Dying for love Praying to die I want what's inside you Dressed in your blood You wear it well Dying because I care Your eyes are wide but you can't see Rotting my lust away I'll shoot the violence through you And wake the part that's dead I hate the silence in you I want what's in your head 3. Stain Of Mind [Music: Hanneman, Lyrics: King] Imagine Humanity's decline Step inside my stain of mind Infesting superiority Infectious immorality oh yea Come worship the place no truths are told Praise the land where sins are sold No passion no love your faith evades Never see yourself again that way Death becomes your bride Lifelessness invades your eyes In fire baptized All pain sifts through myu soul You'll never feel greater misery Master of my enemy Let the purest stain of mind Wash the virtue from your eyes As one the collective unifies Emanate a faithless shine Forever creation has conceived Birth of destruction spreads its wings oh yea Chaotic rebirth a new domain Re-live the sight the sound the pain Erotic the taste of agony Adorn the scars of inhumanity This is what you see Deep inside of me Agony is life Lechery is life Godlessness is life Purgatory magnified In fire baptized All pain sifts through my soul You'll never feel greater misery Master of my enemy Let the purest stain of mind Wash the virtue from your eyes Enticing malevolence allures Bastardize the clean and pure Salvation forever crucified I choose the other side oh yea Entire, complete serenity Injected intravenously Transgression euphoric bliss divine Initiate a timeless stain of mind Blood will sterilize In fire I baptized All pain sifts through my soul You'll never feel greater misery Master of my enemy Let the purest stain of mind Wash the virtue from your eyes 4. Overt Enemy [Music & Lyrics: Hanneman] I breach your life Indoctrinate Police your thoughts Ask why I hate I lose control When I see your face Abusing power I infiltrate Continue lies Then masturbate I walk the line I'll do no time I hate your church I'll burn your state A bleeding heart A seal of fate There is no crime Within my mind I'll sell your life and preach your death A wicked plan born of contempt Bleeding my ideology through pain [Lead: Hanneman] Audacious plans I calculate A new world view I'll re-instate Don't cross my path Or I'll see you burn You'll meet your end Find death alone No grave to mark The seds you've sown You've pushed too far My secrets I defend I'll sell your life and preach your death A wicked plan born of contempt Bleeding my ideology through pain [Lead: Hanneman] Demonize what is feared profane architect Skull and bones through the mind Barbaric thoughts of old Celebrate all unknown At last the dead await The die is cast for the meek Inherit endless dead time Smell the victims are near consume the catalyst Hunting masses for game implanting septic thoughts Reaping terror through words while armed behind your back Pseudo leaders betray enslaving all of mankind Cast out the Demi God Dethrone the demagogue Cast out the church God I command your life And I don't care Let bullets rain From everywhere No suicide Will save you from yourself 5. Perversions Of Pain [Music: Hanneman, Lyrics: King] You better learn my name Cause I'm the one insane And I'm a constant threat You run in fear from my dark silhouette Inside my violent mind Chaos is all you'll find Anarchy uncontained Bear witness to the scorn of my campaign Perversions of pain Seep from my eyes Into your brain Visualize Within my world of hate Disruption I instate Malicious entity Defile and desecrate humanity Alone they all will die Corroding from inside With no one left to save them As I'm dancing on their fucking graves Perversions of pain Seep from my eyes Into your brain Visualize [Lead: King] Take a look into my mind Where pleasure is refined Endless burning holes Of scarred souls Step inside my world of hate Where everything mutates Your senses under siege Ingest the virtues I feed A higher level of pain Is racing through my veins There's nothing more intense Than mental misery that I dispense So follow right along Observe a fresh new dawn Of super sensation My realm of torture stimulation Perversions of pain Seep from my eyes Into your brain Visualize You better learn my name Cause I'm the one insane Inside my violent mind Chaos is all you'll find Within my world of hate Disruption I instate Alone they all will die Corroding from inside Follow right along Observe a fresh new dawn Racing through my veins A higher level of pain Higher level of pain Higher level of pain 6. Love To Hate [Music: Hanneman, Lyrics: Hanneman & King] Enter my mind can you stop the rage No one shall mourn or pity my grave Fighting the world without remorse Searching for blood to never grow old A personal hell is where I reside Taunting death sounds cadavers in pain Judging my soul I am not his son Screaming God's name I want some more You love to hate me But you won't kill me Suicidal surge Desensitize the world Take what I want primordial ground Humanity bleeds from inside my veins Losing all grasp an evil so old Vengeance it breeds driving you insane Exhaust all will hanging by the neck Anguish within let it blind the eys Better off dead is your epitaph Apathy feeds the human demise Absolute reign a malevolent mind Conceptions so vile in this bottomless soul Shooting up hate nothing beats the rush Total addicting, corrupt and profane Force-fed lies in this chapel of lust Dancing in blood disciples enslaved Putrefied walls adorned with your flesh Coating this shrine of the ungodly cross You love to hate me But you won't kill me Suicidal surge Desensitize the world [Lead: King] Pessimistic dreams Realistic screams Crucify creation Magnify damnation Enter my mind can you stop the rage No one shall mourn or pity my grave Fighting the world without remorse Searching for blood to never grow old Putrefied walls adorned with your flesh Coating this shrine of the ungodly cross You love to hate me But you won't kill me Suicidal surge Desensitize the world 7. Desire [Music: Hanneman, Lyrics: Araya] No one could ever doubt my rapture As you too wil son discover No one will ever cross my love Deadly consequence will rise above Lying all alone Visions of erotic bliss Feel your warmth from inside your skin A fever I can not resist Desire I would kill for you Right or wrong I'd do anything True and pure the intensity Every time death is next to me Lying all alone Visions of erotic bliss Feel your warmth from inside your skin A fever I can not resist [Lead: Hanneman/King] Anxiously feeling grotesque Up against your flesh Forbidden fantasies Uncontrollable heat Find yourself all alone and dead Visions of corroding bliss Feel the warmth from inside your skin A sensation I can't resist 8.

Scrum [Music: Hanneman, Lyrics: King] No blood no glory All pain and fury A demonstration Of domination Show of pure intimidation [Lead: King] Full contact why I live and breathe Side stepping all the human debris Head strong I know that I'll prevail Face down in my arena you will fail Head to head eye to eye Human pile of proven pride Ripping flesh spitting teeth Sacrifice for victory Base line Goal line Overtime Killing time Relentless brotherhood of discipline Centuries of tradition is to win Head first into battle feel the rush Living on adrenaline your try is crushed [Lead: King] No blood No glory All pain And fury Head to head eye to eye Human pile of proven pride Ripping flesh spitting teeth Sacrifice for victory Base line Goal line Overtime Killing time 10. Screaming From The Sky [Music: Hanneman, Lyrics: Araya, Hanneman & King] I stalk close in from above Silent wings will test your faith Death will never hear me pass Launch attack you're too late I hear flak inside my head Deafening thunder cities burn Carpet-bombing laid to waste Throwned inside a death mask Holy cross embedded in your tomb Casualities are buried through your mind Certain death is screaming from the sky I live to destroy below Hunted victims are unseen Flying wrath a fortress hell War machine to kill all I leave carnage in my wake Choking bleeding for your life Faceless prey has been erased Silence reigns you're dead now Holy cross embedded in your tomb Casualities are buried through your mind Certain death is screaming from the sky [Lead: King] Listen to the rhythm of a dead man walking Silent is the heartbeat of the predator stalking Hear the sound of air feel the warmth touch your neck Reality is not fair no time to second guess Hear the distant ringing of the blade as it cuts your neck Silent is the cry lying on your mattress of blood An easy mark for a veteran of execution I walk step by step with death Where all bludgeoned bodies lie You will see my face of rage Cut your heart out of your chest Leave impaled the consummation of mankind 11.
