South Of Heaven Lyrics
Nestled Somewhere In Time
Unsuspecting Victims
No Warnings, No Signs
Judgment Day The Second Coming Arrives
Before You See The Light You Must Die
Avidity And Lust Controlled By Hate
Never Ending Search For Your Shattered Sanity
Souls Of Damnation In Their Own Reality
An Age Of Distrust
Confrontations
Impulsive Sabbath
Promiscuous Mothers With Incestuous Fathers
Engreat Souls Condemned For Eternity
Sustained By Immoral Observance A Domineering Deity
An Age Of Distrust
Confrontations
Impulsive Sabbath
A Force That Has Lived All Eternity
A Never Ending Search For A Truth Never Told
The Loss Of All Hope And Your Dignity
An Age Of Distrust
Confrontations
Impulsive Habitat
Tom Arraya is a lyrical genious. While everyone is thinking this song is about hell, It is clearly about the demoralization of America and the darker side of human existence. Domineering Deity is the Media, and The Immoral Obeservance is the public feeding into the lust and sex that the media has portrayed for people. The "forgotten children" are the generation of youth that can only look up to their "promiscuous mothers and incestuous fathers". The third verse refers to a society that has lost all moral believes and has corroded into hatred. On and On South of Heaven is referring to a society (USA) that has fallen to humanities darker yearnings. Slayer rules.

i totally agree - f**king genius lyrically, some of the sickest lyrics ever- matched with the hardest grooving thrash ever...

@ktaps13 Totally agree and i dont belive he was just writing about America but the whole world, the modern western ways injected with posion of media got to us all. Yet Arraya still mentions the second coming and the day of judgment... goes on saying "before you see the light you must die" the self-centeredness, pride, malice, arrogance it all must die, in the holy scriptures they say Christ is the only one who can redem us and change our lives if he was truly the one he claimed to be. ...

The lyrics later in the song go (after a solo pause); " the root of all evil is the heart of a black soul, a force that has lived for all eternity. Implying clearly that Satan and his fallen angels exist as a force in the world that inflicts and influences humanity through weak-broken,tormented and evil men.
Ok, I like this type of Music, but it doesn't mean I am a goth. And also, out of all those bands/artists you stated, i like all of them, except linkin park. You can't judge everyone here as a goth, just because they like slayer. Most of us probably have a broad taste in music, and listen to it because it sounds good, not because we agree with the beliefs of the band.
metal_advocate u fuckin cunt! who the fuck are you to come into a slayer post and call us goths (which im not, goths are fucking freaks!) and start badmouthing the music of slayer. how the fuck can you say the riffs and solo are shit when u listen to faggot ass linkin park and sytem u ass licking cunt
EAT SHIT AND DIE YOU PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT! I WILL RAPE YOUR MOTHER AND EAT HE DISMEMBERED CORPSE! HOWS THAT FOR FUCKED UP IN THE HEAD U CUNT
I believe this song is an exaggeration of the immoral and ethically bankrupt society we live in. It is not about an apocalypse that is coming but one that is already here.
slayer is not goth
Modest Mouse did a cover of this, Modest Mouse regulates.
great song
yea it is a trend. go get your fucking marylin manson you weirdo
What is really a trend, is the "goth" posers who shop in HotTopic and are mostly teenagers who want to be 'different', not the real definition of goths. Marilyn Manson is a good example or the music a poser listens to anyway.
I think this is quite a clever song. It seems to me, to be about how wayward mankind has gone, and how we (as a species) are blind to our own failings, and to how far we have fallen, from grace.
I think the biggest clue, is the title;, 'South of Heaven', while refering just as easily to the earth as it does to hell, also suggests the ever-decreasing distance between the two.
Basically, we are 'south of heaven', and still heading south...
