Welcome back
[Instrumental Break 1:04 - 3:20]
[Verse 1]
Existing on damnation's edge, the priest had never known
To witness such a violent show of power overthrown
Angels fighting aimlessly still dying by the sword
Our legions killing all in sight to get the one called Lord
[Chorus]
The gates of Hell lie waiting, as you see
There's no price to pay, just follow me
I can take your lost soul from the grave
Jesus knows your soul cannot be saved
[Post-Chorus]
Crucify your so-called Lord, he soon shall fall to me
Your souls are damned
Your God has fell to slave for me eternally
Hell awaits
[Verse 2]
The reaper guards the darkened gates that Satan calls his home
The demons feed the furnace where the dead are free to roam
Lonely children of the night, there's seven ways to go
Each leading to the burning hole that Lucifer controls
[Chorus]
Priests of Hades seek the sacred star
Satan sees the answer lies not far
Zombies, screaming souls, cry out to you
Satanic law prevails, your life is through
[Bridge]
Pray to the moon when it is round
Death with you shall then abound
For what you seek for can't be found
In sea or sky or underground
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]
[Verse 3]
Now I have you deep inside my everlasting grasp
The seven bloody gates of Hell is where you'll live your last
Warriors from Hell's domain will bring you to your death
The flames of Hades burning strong, your soul shall never rest
[Chorus]
The gates of Hell lie waiting, as you see
There's no price to pay, just follow me
I can take your lost soul from the grave
Jesus knows your soul cannot be saved
[Post-Chorus]
Sacrifice the lives of all, I know they soon shall die
Their souls are damned to rot in Hell
And keep the fires growing deep inside
Hell awaits
[Instrumental Outro]
[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]
Kill Again Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lurking in the dismal fog
Hungry for your blood
Seeking harmless victims
Satisfy my needs
Schizophrenic lunatic
Uncontrolled desire
Rape and ravage lady fair
Pledged to die
[Chorus]
No apparent motive
Kill and kill again
Survive my brutal thrashing
I'll hunt you 'til the end
My life's a constant battle
The rage of many men
Homicidal maniac
[Verse 2]
Trapped in mortal solitude
Lift the gleaming blade
Slice her flesh to shreds
Watch the blood flow free
Hatred growing stronger
None survive my wrath
Suffer from the throbbing pain
Yield your life to me
[Chorus]
No apparent motive
Kill and kill again
Survive my brutal thrashing
I'll hunt you 'til the end
My life's a constant battle
The rage of many men
Homicidal maniac
[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]
[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]
Ah!
[Verse 3]
Kill the preacher's only son
Watch the infant die
Bodily dismemberment
Drink the purest blood
Unrelenting need to kill
Death upon you now
Anxiously awaiting
Next in line
[Chorus]
No apparent motive
Kill and kill again
Survive my brutal thrashing
I'll hunt you 'til the end
My life's a constant battle
The rage of many men
Homicidal maniac
[Outro]
Kill again
Praise of Death Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Deceased in mind, decree of death
Blackened heart baptized in fire
Exertion now, need to blitz
Vicious ways brought up in Hell
Draw the line, life or death
Potent thrust, excessive pain
Massive dose, adrenaline
Minor threat cannot decline
[Chorus]
Stricken to live, Hell on Earth
Shackled and bound we lie
Praise of death, life's a dream
We're only living to die
[Verse 2]
Victim of life, insanity lives
Deep in shock, intensive care
Tables turned, blast of strength
Kill at once, time to prevail
Begin to crank, feel the rush
Start to rage, take to extremes
Push too far, overkill
Time to die, no way to win
[Chorus]
Stricken to live, Hell on Earth
Shackled and bound we lie
Praise of death, life's a dream
We're only living to die
[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]
[Bridge]
Running and hunting and slashing
And crushing and searching
And seeing and stabbing and shooting
And thrashing and smashing and
Burning, destroying, and killing
And bleeding and pleading, then death
[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]
[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
At Mach ten velocity
Pressure builds, can't take the strain
Life blood flows to its grave
Dripping sweat, death shall erase
Time to think, time to breathe
Feel the pulse, life will expire
Surging speed, hell-a-fast
Cardiac cease to exist
[Chorus]
Stricken to live, Hell on Earth
Shackled and bound we lie
Praise of death, life's a dream
We're only living to die
[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]
Necrophiliac Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mortuaries, dead of night
My body starts to rise
In my mind, the horror lives
To feel death deep inside
Relentless lust of rotting flesh
To thrash the tomb she lies
Heathen whore of Satan's wrath
I spit at your demise
[Bridge 1]
Virgin child, now drained of life
Your soul cannot be free
Not given the chance to rot in Hell
[Verse 2]
Satan's cross points to Hell
The Earth, I must uncover
A passion grows to feast upon
The frozen blood inside her
I feel the urge, the growing need
To fuck the sinful corpse
My task complete, the bitch's soul
Lies raped in demonic lust
[Lead: King]
[Verse 3]
Her stomach bursts, the casket breaks
The seed has taken form
A writhing shape of twisted flesh
The Devil's child is thrown
Hungry for the smell of death
He rules forbidden evil
Vengeance with a frenzied hatred
The bastard now must die
[Bridge]
Lost souls of the dead
Form legions that burst through Hell's gates
Death of one sacrifice
To avenge the raped corpse from the grave
Blood of one mortal man
The fire grows stronger within
Fate of a frenzied lust
Lucifer takes my dark soul
[Outro]
Down to the fiery pits of Hell
Down to the fiery pits of
Hell
[Lead: Hanneman]
Crypts of Eternity Lyrics
[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]
[Verse 1]
Devious to those unknown
He walks below the land
Luring victims to their death
Perish to the sand
Master of the blackened arts
Living his decree
Thrives amongst the seven gates
Searching for the keys
[Chorus]
I have seen the darkened depths of Hell
Sorcery beyond the witches' spell
Robbed the crypts of death's eternity
Killed the priest and cursed him endlessly
[Verse 2]
Chants of evil incantation
Fill the murky night
Free the Devil's knights of Hell
Unleash their growing spite
Directing power forcibly
The fire of Hell is cast
Resurrect from crypts of death
A demon from the past
[Chorus]
I have seen the darkened depths of Hell
Sorcery beyond the witches' spell
Robbed the crypts of death's eternity
Killed the priest and cursed him endlessly
[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]
[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]
[Bridge]
Cringe with fear
Violate the unbroken seal of Hell
Death will come searching for
Your mere soul
Still, you are eager to seek your fate
All that lie here are remains of death
[Bridge]
Grinding bones, screaming skulls
Broken by the lapse of time
Decay to powder, ashes to dust
Diminishing, disintegrating
Man's soul and mind
[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]
[Bridge]
Empty space tracks throughout
I make my claim
[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]
[Outro]
Disease engulfs, covers the world
My kingdom, my domain
Hardening of the Arteries Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fear runs wild in the veins of the world
The hate turns the skies jet black
Death is assured in future plans
Why live if there's nothing there?
[Pre-Chorus]
Specters of doom await the moment
The mallet is sure and precise
Cover the crypts of all mankind
With cloven hoof begone
[Chorus]
Sadistic minds
Delay the death
Of twisted life
Malicious world
[Verse 2]
The crippled youth try in dismay
To sabotage the carcass Earth
All new life must perish below
Existence now is futile
[Pre-Chorus]
Decrepit breath
Vile in its stench
A world in decay
Transgressor is as one
[Chorus]
Sadistic minds
Delay the death
Of twisted life
Malicious world
[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]
[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]
[Bridge]
Convulsions take the world in hand
Paralysis destroys
Nobody's out there to save us
Brutal seizure, now we die
[Chorus]
Sadistic minds
Delay the death
Of twisted life
Malicious world
