Spoiler:
1. Hell Awaits
[Lyrics King; Music Hanneman/King]
[Backwards: "Join us" x times] [Welcome back]
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
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 can not be saved
Crucify the so called Lord He soon shall fall to me Your souls are damned your God has fell To slave for me eternally Hell awaits...
The Reaper guard's the darkened Gates That Satan calls his home 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 The Lucifer controls
Priests of Hades seek the sacred star Satan sees the answer lies not far Zombies screaming souls cry out to you Satanic laws prevail your life is through
Pray to the moon... when it is round Death with you shall then abound What you seek... for can't be found In sea or sky or underground
[Lead - Hanneman]
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
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 can not be saved
Sacrifice the lives of all I know they Soon shall die Their souls are damned to rot in Hell and keep the fire growing deep inside Hell awaits...
[Lead - King]
2. Kill Again
[Lyrics King; Music Hanneman/King]
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 Just kill and kill again Survive my brutal thrashing I'll hunt you till the end My life's a constant battle The rage of many men Homicidal maniac...
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]
[Lead - Hanneman, King, Hanneman, King]
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]
(KILL AGAIN)
3. At Dawn They Sleep
[Lyrics Araya/Hanneman/King; Music Hanneman]
Awakened I have become Light now slips away Manipulate your mind Darkness is my slave
Taste the sins of Hell The blood that I so crave The last thing that you see Is the hunger in my eyes
[Chorus] Blood sucking creatures of the night Nocturnal spectre hiding from the light Cries screaming out every fright Eagerly awaiting plight Apparitions from the pits of Hell Death plagues the streets in which they dwell Demented lust, the secrets they must keep Addicted to your blood At dawn they sleep
Unveil the hidden coffin Lift the lid of terror Feel the deadly cold Freeze you from inside
Perceiving your intentions To slay the phantom form Raise the stake in malice You cannot plunge it down
[Chorus]
[Lead - King, Hanneman]
Beware the image unseen Stalks your soul Your corpse's redeem
Eternal damnation you just reward A servant of our Lord By your accord
Admonish of the cruciform Impalement Immortality's scorned
Rise hold fast your faith To lie dormant Is certain Death
(Driven by the instinct of centuries of horror Implanted along the brain of the sickening parasite Linked together by one trait The Hell-filled need to kill... kill... kill... kill... KILL)
Emerging from their Hellish tomb Taking flight amidst the night The evening skies are raining Death
Swooping down from shadowed skies Taking simple human form Shed their wings to stalk the mortal man
Lock their jaws into your veins Satanic soldiers strike their prey Leaving corpses waiting for the change
Blood dripping from the jaws of Death Not enough to satisfy They must drain your soul of life
4. Praise Of Death
[Lyrics Hanneman; Music King]
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 adrenalin Minor threat can not 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
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]
[Lead - King]
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
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 breath Feel the pulse life will expire Surging speed Hell afast Cardiac cease to exist
[Chorus]
[Lead - King]
5. Necrophiliac
[Lyrics Hanneman/King; Music Hanneman]
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
Virgin child now drained of life Your soul cannot be free Not given the chance to rot in Hell
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 this sinful corpse My tasks complete the bitch's soul Lies raped in demonic lust
[Lead - King]
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
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
Down to the fiery pits of Hell (Down to the fiery pits of HELL)
[Lead - Hanneman]
6. Crypts Of Eternity
[Lyrics Araya/Hanneman/King; Music Hanneman/King]
[Lead Hanneman]
Devious to those unknown He walks below the land Alluring 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
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]
[Lead - Hanneman, King]
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
Grinding bones, screaming skulls Broken by the lapse of time Decay to powder, ashes to dust Diminishing, disintegrating Man's soul and mind
[Lead - Hanneman]
Empty space tracks throughout I make my claim
[Lead - King]
Darkness covers the world My Kingdom, my Domain
7. Hardening Of The Arteries
[Lyrics Hanneman; Music Hanneman]
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
Spectors of doom await the moment The mallet is sure and precise Cover the crypts of all mankind With cloven hoove begone
[Chorus] Sadistic minds Delay the death Of twisted life Malicious world
The crippled youth try in dismay To sabotage the carcass Earth All new life must perish below Existence now is futile
Decrepit breath, vile in its stench A world in decay Transgressor is as one
[Chorus]
[Lead - King, Hanneman]
Convulsions take the world in hand Paralysis destroys Nobody's out there to save us Brutal seizure now we die
