Save me. His spirit lives and breathes in me The almighty transformed to your screen The meaning lost in its translation, No holywords, describe his deception You say you'll help us find the Lord Tell me preacher how do you know A simple quest to a visible savior, To lead us through our final prayer! Save me. Send your donations, Contribute to the cause. Luxuries, Your righteous reward? Praise the Lord, praise God Is what you wish to sell There is no heaven without hell (Lead: Hanneman) In your minds eye could you truly believe, That by giving you can save your soul, Could you be so naive! You heal the sick, raise the dead, You blind the congregation With the thing you say Religions blackmail a deceit of trust That death will come and all will be lost Can you hear the serpents call, Look deep in those deceiving eyes Ignore the writing on the wall, You should read between the lies When doubt subsides his honesty An inquity, is it blasphemy? Impure the soul, that's made to suffer, No sermons left hide or cover, An empty promise, lie unfulfilled, To steal a dream or get it killed They claim your trip to heavens nearby You may believe it but Satan wouldn't lie CLEANSE THE SOUL (Araya, King / Hanneman) Body that rest before me, Will every dying breath, Spellbound and gagged, I commence your flesh to dirt Body that lay before me, In everylasting death, Entombed in abcess To rot and lie stinking in the earth (Lead: King) Empty altar awaits its victim Stained glass windows black Candles burn the midnight oil, Incense fills the night Observing trance awaking state Lying still unknowing Receiting the passages of time Prepare for impaling (Lead: Hanneman) Death an art, flesh and eart never part, A power of the mind Death shines of the air of silence, A ritual of endless time Purged of your dead body, Sacrificed of your live Unearthly ritual sealed in fire Enter the Kingdom of desire DISSIDENT AGRESSOR ( Words of song are lost) SPILL THE BLOOD (Hanneman) Come walk with me through endless time See what has been and what the future sees Share the wisdom of the old world that has past, Step in a life that's yet to be born You spill the blood, Eternal soul I'll show you sights that you would not believe Experience pleasure thought unubtained At one with evil that has puled before Now smell the stench of immortality You spill the blood, Eternal soul (Lead: Hanneman) Spill your blood let it run on to me Take my hand and let go of your life Close your eyes and see what is me, Raise the chalice, embrace for evermore You've spill the blood I have your soul (Lead: King) --------------------------------------------------- Def Jam Recordings (p)1988 Slayer are: Tom Araya vocal, bass Kerry King lead guitar Dave Lombardo drums Je Hanneman lead guitar B.C.
