Funeral held for the depression of man Holds the key to his own death Entering a tomb of a corpse yet conceived Tighten the tourniquet around your neck Sifting away the debris of hated life Cold touch of death begins to chill your spine Seeking life beyond your perishment Repeating words echoing through your mind Chanting lines of blind witchery To save yourself from extinction Wanting to die is your reason to live New life born from the oppressed Taste your blood as it trickles through the air Another casualty beyond the shadows you fall Losing ground, the fate you feel it draws near Fatality, reality, you await the final call My sinful glare at nothing holds thoughts of death behind it Skeletons in my mind commence tearing at my sanity Vessels in my brain carry death until my birth Come and die with me forever Share insanity Do you want to die! The waves of blood are rushing near, pounding at the walls of lies Turning off my sanity, reaching back into my mind Non-rising body from the grave showing new reality What I am, what I want, I'm only after death

Night will come and I will follow For my victims, no tomorrow Make it fast, your time of sorrow On his trail I'll make you follow Quarters for the criminally insane The sentence read for life I must remain The path I chose has led me to my grave To try again I'd have no other way. Quarters for the criminally insane Escape for me has fast become a game Soon to be, I'll leave without a trace Endangered species end the human race (Lead: Hanneman, King) Branded in pain Marked criminally insane Locked away and kept restrained Disapprobation, but what have I done I have yet only just begun To take your fuckin' lives!

Follow me, I'll lead the way; your fears will soon overtake Hide your infinite tears inside, it seeks your smallest break Screaming as if nothing helps, you press on to survive Playing out the fantasies of a force that keeps you alive He'll have you down on your knees You play his fatal game He'll satisfy your every need You'll never be the same Take my hand, I'll show you how; You've just one life to live The road you're on goes straight to hell; Your life is yours to give His fantasies of all of you are much too great to see This world your living is so unreal, perfected just for me He'll have you down on your knees You play his fatal game He'll satisfy your every need You'll never be the same
