Surrender your cloth and collar priest
There's no need for your beliefs in war
This is a place for heathens
Into that darkness fires illuminate
Grotesquely swollen by the heat
A half-burned corpse hanging naked
Lead us to the brink of extinction
The time has come for you now to finish it
What has man become a funeral pyre
Now that judgement's near prepare to die
Need to suffer lust for power mindless hunger never win
Final six is here the cycle ends
I have come for you my child
And the gift I bring is murder
Sumarian death on eastern winds
Face the father of your terror
Godless warheads wait to breath
Set their sights on history
Distant sillhouettes of the dead
Blacken face screams thru the ashes
Lead us to the brink of extinction
The time has come for you now to finish it
What has man become a funeral pyre
Now that judgement's near prepare to die
Need to suffer lust for power mindless
hunger never wins
Final six is here the cycle ends
Mankind owes his pain to hell
As he brings the end upon himself
Arms rising from the ashes
In the ghastly light of human flares
Berith soldiers capture souls
Shadows of human sacrifice
The return of everything that's dead
A cryptic promise from the heavens
Lead us to the brink of extinction
The time has come for you now to finish it
Dead flowers for a faceless head
A city engulfed by the smell of death
Bodies piled beneath the mix
Walking dead among the living
The world will bleed while horsemen ride
Now that God has wept for Judas
Days are numbered find your grave
Forever trying to escape to hell
There's no need for your beliefs in war
This is a place for heathens
Into that darkness fires illuminate
Grotesquely swollen by the heat
A half-burned corpse hanging naked
The time has come for you now to finish it
Now that judgement's near prepare to die
Need to suffer lust for power mindless hunger never win
And the gift I bring is murder
Sumarian death on eastern winds
Face the father of your terror
Godless warheads wait to breath
Set their sights on history
Distant sillhouettes of the dead
Blacken face screams thru the ashes
The time has come for you now to finish it
Now that judgement's near prepare to die
Need to suffer lust for power mindless
hunger never wins
As he brings the end upon himself
Arms rising from the ashes
In the ghastly light of human flares
Berith soldiers capture souls
The return of everything that's dead
A cryptic promise from the heavens
The time has come for you now to finish it
A city engulfed by the smell of death
Bodies piled beneath the mix
Walking dead among the living
The world will bleed while horsemen ride
Now that God has wept for Judas
Days are numbered find your grave
Forever trying to escape to hell

Let it be known that I was the first one on the Interwebz to submit deez lyrics. points at the submission date Woo hoo! Enjoy, Slayer fans and keep it metal!
This song is the greatest song in the whole motherfuckin' world! I don't care what anyone says, but this song kicks the shit out of everything else I listen to! Slayer has been motherfuckin' awesome for their many years as a band, and this is what has added up to that, a grammie winning, goddamnit awesome song. Keep up the fix of the metal Slayer peoples!
Probably Slayer's best lyrics. Especially the last verse
"The world will bleed while horsemen ride Now that God has wept for Judas Days are numbered find your grave Forever trying to escape to hell "
Shivers down my spine, man...I couldn't in my sweetest dreams imagine writing like this.
Drums rock on this song, LOMBARDO RULES.
Should I get the album? y/n
very awsome song Slayer kicks ASS!!!!!
I have no idea what tis song means
Surrender your cloth and collar priest There's no need for your beliefs in war This is a place for heathens Into that darkness fires illuminate Grotesquely swollen by the heat A half-burned corpse hanging naked A stream is poisoned by the dead I ghostly light, debris of war
Lead us to the brink of extinction The time has come for you now to finish it
What has man become a funeral pyre Now that judgement's near prepare to die Need to suffer lust for power mindless hunger never win
Final six is here the cycle ends
I have come for you my child And the gift I bring is murder Sumarian death in eastern winds Face the father of your terror Godless warheads wait to breath Set their sights to history Distant silhouettes of the dead Blacken face screams thru the ashes
Lead us to the brink of extinction The time has come for you now to finish it
What has man become a funeral pyre Now that judgement's near prepare to die Need to suffer lust for power mindless hunger never win
Final six is here the cycle ends
Mankind owes his pain to hell As he brings the end upon himself Arms rising from the ashes In the ghastly light of human flares Berith soldiers capture souls Shadows of human sacrifice The return of everything that's dead A cryptic promise from the heavens
Lead us to the brink of extinction The time has come for you now to finish it
Dead flowers for a faceless dead A city engulfed by the smell of the death Bodies piled beneath the mist Walking dead among the living The world will bleed while horseman ride Now that God has wept for Judas Days are numbered find your grave Forever trying to escape to hell.
Boy do I love this song :D
From what I can gather I believe this song is about man involving himself in war that will bring about the Apocalyptic end of the world "Mankind owes his pain to hell As he brings the end upon himself" As stated in the song, Slayer is well known to bring Apocalyptic themes into their songs, at least this is what i think still a kick ass song in it's own right heh!
