At Dawn They Sleep Lyrics

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

Blood Sucking Creatures Of The Night
Nocturnal Spectre Hiding From The Light
Cries Screaming Out Every Fright
Egerly Awaiting Plight

Apparition From The Pits Of Hell
Death Plaques The Streets In Which They Dwell
Demented Lust, Secrets They Must Keep
Addicted To Your Blood
At Dawn They Sleep

Unvail 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

<i>Lead - King, Hanneman</i>

Beware The Image Unseen
Stocks Your Soul
Your Corpse's Redeem

Eternal Damnation You Just Reward
A Servant Of Our Lord
By Your Accord

Admonish Of Cruciform
Impalement
Immortalitys Scorned

Rise Hold Fast Your Faith
To Lie Dorment
Is Certain Death

Driven By The Instincts Of
Centuries Of Horror
Implanted On The Brain Of The
Sickening Parasite
Linked Together By One Trait
The Hell-Born Need To Kill

Kill - Kill - Kill - Kill - Kill - Kill - Kill - KILL!

Emerging From Their Hellish Tomb
Taking Flight Amindst 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

One of Slayer's best songs from their best album - Hell Awaits.

Seriously, it's a lot more progressive and mature, unlike Reign In Blood. RiB is a good album, but it's extremely generic and overrated.

Hell Awaits is definitely Slayer's best album.

And yes, this song is about vampires.

@QJ14 RIB is the greatest thrash album of all time, Hell Awaits was dated and had terrible production values, and too much reverb

Slayer's forgotten masterpiece. Breakdown worthy of Angel of Death. Songs about vampires rock.

Cover art for At Dawn They Sleep lyrics by Slayer

Gnosticisim. Corruption of man as a pure form by being polluted by the fallen ones. Easy to miss the point by the fascination by all things vampiric and zombie

Blood dripping from the jaws of Death Not enough to satisfy They must drain your soul of life
