Track Lyrics
War Ensemble Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Propaganda death ensemble
Burial to be
Corpses rotting through the night
In blood-laced misery
Scorched earth, the policy
The reason for the siege
The pendulum, it shaves the blade
The strafing air blood raid
[Verse 2]
Infiltration push reserves
Encircle the front lines
Supreme art of strategy
Playing on the minds
Bombard till submission
Take all to their graves
Indication of triumph:
The numbers that are dead
[Pre-Chorus]
Sport: the war
War support
[Chorus]
The sport is war, total war
When victory's really massacre
The final swing is not a drill
It's how many people I can kill
[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]
[Pre-Chorus]
Sport: the war
War support
[Chorus]
The sport is war, total war
When victory's really survival
The final swing is not a drill
It's how many people I can kill
[Bridge 1]
Be dead, fiend from above
When darkness falls
Descend onto my sights
Your fallen walls
Spearhead break through the lines
Flanked all around
Soldiers of attrition
Forward their ground
[Bridge 2]
Regime prophetic age
Old in its time
Flowing veins run on through
Deep in the Rhine
Center of the web
All battles scored
What is our war crimes?
Era forever more
War
[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]
[Verse 3]
Propaganda war ensemble
Burial to be
Bones, shining by the night
In blood-laced misery
Campaign of elimination
Twisted psychology
When victory is to survive
And death is defeat
[Pre-Chorus]
Sport: the war
War support
[Chorus]
The sport is war, total war
When the end is a slaughter
The final swing is not a drill
It's how many people I can kill
Blood Red Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Peaceful confrontation, meet war machine
Seizing all civil liberties
Honest ballotation among banshee
Spilling blood on humanity
[Chorus]
You cannot hide the face of death
Oppression ruled by bloodshed
No disguise can deface evil
The massacre of innocent people
[Verse 2]
Deviated lies, fear blinds your eyes
Enforcing their truth through a gun
Aggressive discipline and barbaric control
Thousands of people cannot be wrong
[Chorus]
You cannot hide the face of death
Oppression ruled by bloodshed
No disguise can deface evil
Stains the primitive sickle blood red
[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]
[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]
[Verse 3]
Growing opposition with words as ammunition
Expressions of life's liberties
Aggressive discipline and barbaric control
Spilling blood throughout humanity
[Chorus]
You cannot hide the face of death
Oppression ruled by bloodshed
No disguise can deface evil
Stains the primitive sickle blood red
Skeletons of Society Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Minutes seem like days
Since fire ruled the sky
The rich became the beggars
And fools became the wise
Memories linger in my brain
Burning from the acid rain
A pain I never have won
[Verse 2]
Nothing here remains
No future and no past
No one could foresee
The end that came so fast
Hear the prophet make his guess
That paradise lies to the west
So join his quest for the sun
[Chorus]
Shades of death are all I see
Fragments of what used to be
[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]
[Verse 3]
The world slowly decays
Destruction fills my eyes
Harboring the image
Of a spiraling demise
Burning winds release their fury
Simulating judge and jury
Drifting flurries of pain
[Verse 4]
Deafening silence reigns
As twilight fills the sky
Eventual supremacy
As daylight waits to die
Darkness always calls my name
A pawn in this recurring game
Humanity going insane
[Pre-Chorus]
Shades of death are all I see
Skeletons of society
[Chorus]
Shades of death are all I see
Fragments of what used to be
Fragments of what used to be
Skeletons of society
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]
[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]
[Verse 5]
Minutes seem like days
Corrosion fills the sky
Morbid dreams of anarchy
Brought judgment in disguise
Memories linger in my brain
Life with nothing more to gain
Perpetual madness remains
[Pre-Chorus]
Shades of death are all I see
Skeletons of society
[Chorus]
Shades of death are all I see
Fragments of what used to be
Fragments of what used to be
Skeletons of society
Seasons in the Abyss Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Razor's edge outlines the dead
Incisions in my head
Anticipation, the stimulation
To kill the exhilaration
[Chorus]
Close your eyes, look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself and let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die
Close your eyes and forget your name
Step outside yourself and let your thoughts drain
As you go insane, go insane
[Verse 2]
Innate seed to watch you bleed
A demanding physical need
Desecrated, eviscerated
Time's perpetuated
[Chorus]
Close your eyes, look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself and let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die
Close your eyes and forget your name
Step outside yourself and let your thoughts drain
As you go insane, go insane
[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]
[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]
[Verse 3]
Inert flesh, a bloody tomb
A decorated splatter brightens the room
An execution, a sadist ritual
Mad intervals of mind residuals
[Chorus]
Close your eyes, look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself and let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die
Close your eyes and forget your name
Step outside yourself and let your thoughts drain
As you go insane, go insane
