Silent Scream
Slayer · Soundtrack To The Apocalypse [2003]
A child's dream of death
Torment, Ill forgotten
A soul that will never rest
Guidance, It means nothing
In a world of brutal time
Electric, Circus, Wild
Deep in the infants mind
Silent Scream
Bury the unwanted child
Beaten and torn
Sacrifice the unborn
Shattered, Adolescent (another child)
Bearer of no name
Restrained, Insane games
Suffer the children condemned
Scattered, Remnants of life
Murder a time to die
Pain, Sufferaged toyed
Life's little fragments destroyed
Silent Scream
Crucify the bastard son
Beaten and torn
Sanctify lives of scorn
Life preordained
Humanity maintained
Extraction termination
Pain's agonizing stain
Embryonic death
Embedded in your brain
Suffocation, Strangulation
Death is fucking you insane
Nightmare, The persecution
A child's dream of death
Torment, Ill forgotten
A soul that will never rest
Innocence withdrawn in fear
Fires burning can you hear
Cries in the night
Silent Scream

Released alongside tracks like 'Angel of Death' and 'Raining Blood,' the recording captures the high-energy performance style that defined the group's legacy during the 1980s and beyond. The song utilizes rapid-fire guitar work and a driving rhythm to deliver a visceral auditory experience, characteristic of the band's influence on extreme metal. As a staple of their discography, 'Silent Scream' remains a defining piece of their catalog, reflecting the raw power and technical proficiency that established them as pioneers of the thrash movement.
