Killing Fields Lyrics
You know the feeling
When adrenaline takes control
Can't beat the rush
That leaves a suicidal hold
Instinct spares no one
Destroying the human heart
The taste of blood
Can rip your soul apart
Devils that drive us
Do not discriminate
A state of mind
That becomes the ultimate end
Action reaction
Blood line is not immune
To the depth of human nature
Inside of me and you
A sociopath with empty eyes
And no soul
Paranoid psychotic heart of stone
My blood runs cold
Evils of passion
Can drive reason to extremes
Love hate and murder
Temporary insanity
On the edge of a
Demented personality
Emotional
Pain is a deadly reality
A sociopath with empty eyes
And no soul
Paranoid psychotic heart of stone
My blood runs cold
A choice is made of free will
Just like the choice to kill
Decisions to lose control
My self-destructive rationale
A choice is made, made of free will
Just like the choice, the choice to kill
In the speed of a moment
Life stands still now you're standing in my killing field
<i>Lead - King</i>
A choice is made of free will
Just like the choice to kill
In the speed of a moment
Life stands still now you're standing in my killing field
When adrenaline takes control
Can't beat the rush
That leaves a suicidal hold
Destroying the human heart
The taste of blood
Can rip your soul apart
Do not discriminate
A state of mind
That becomes the ultimate end
Blood line is not immune
To the depth of human nature
Inside of me and you
And no soul
Paranoid psychotic heart of stone
My blood runs cold
Can drive reason to extremes
Love hate and murder
Temporary insanity
Demented personality
Emotional
Pain is a deadly reality
And no soul
Paranoid psychotic heart of stone
My blood runs cold
Just like the choice to kill
Decisions to lose control
My self-destructive rationale
Just like the choice, the choice to kill
In the speed of a moment
Life stands still now you're standing in my killing field
Just like the choice to kill
In the speed of a moment
Life stands still now you're standing in my killing field

Killing fields is about Pol Pot and the Cambodian revolution. Another brutal history lesson by Slayer
Pol Pot would attempt his own "Super Great Leap Forward" in Cambodia, which he renamed the Democratic Republic of Kampuchea.
He began by declaring, "This is Year Zero," and that society was about to be "purified." Capitalism, Western culture, city life, religion, and all foreign influences were to be extinguished in favor of an extreme form of peasant Communism.
All of Cambodia's cities were then forcibly evacuated. At Phnom Penh, two million inhabitants were evacuated on foot into the countryside at gunpoint. As many as 20,000 died along the way.
Millions of Cambodians accustomed to city life were now forced into slave labor in Pol Pot's "KILLING FIELDS" where they soon began dying from overwork, malnutrition and disease, on a diet of one tin of rice (180 grams) per person every two days.
this song rocks! killingfields have it all! brutal drumintro, odd parts, fast parts cool guitarsolos...and the lyrics...the best part: "A choice is made of free will Just like the choice to kill In the speed of a moment Life stands still now you're standing in my killing field" this is awsome!
the drummer of slayer kicks major ass!!
King has balls of steel.
only 3 comments? amazing song. I agree with rockkid this song has everything. It sounds like it's about the feeling you get when someone is pissing you off so bad you just want to kill them. it just is really about that one little moment, that choice, and their dead. Slayer kicks major ass
love scorned. must kill.
The Texas killing fields, the line "a sociopath with empty eyes and no soul" Then the line...... Evils of passion Can drive reason to extremes Love hate and murder Temporary insanity... sounds like the evil that murdering monster was all about.
