Seasons In The Abyss
Slayer · Soundtrack To The Apocalypse [2003]
Outlines the dead
Incisions in my head
Anticipation the stimulation
To kill the exhilaration
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
Innate seed
To watch you bleed
A demanding physical need
Desecrated eviscerated
Times perpetuated
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
Inert flesh
A bloody tomb
A decorated splatter brightens the room
An execution a sadist ritual
Mad intervals of mind residuals
Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourslef
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
