SLAYER - 1990 - "Seasons In The Abyss"

(Music: Hanneman / Lyrics: King)



Welcome to my world

Involve yourself within my dream

Experience a life

Just like your mind thought not to be

Take a look through time

At past or present worlds to be

I rule this inferno

Enthroned for eternity



Coils of the serpent unwind

Buried beneath you will find

Deep in the halls of the damned

Spirit in black till the journey's [doesn't sing that] end



Spirits damned to rot

Amidst the brimstone fireballs

Eyes of the dead

Watching from their living walls [sings "hall"?]

Broken glass reflections

Show your flesh eaten away

Beyond the gates I'll take you

Where the blood forever rains



Coils of the serpent unwind

Buried beneath you will find

Deep in the halls of the damned

Spirit in black till the journey's [doesn't sing that] end



Solo: Hanneman



Afterlife confession

Tell me who you used to be

Looking on in wonder

As I show you it was me

Burning from within

You know one spark is all it takes

Hear the piercing cries of all

Who found that hell awaits



Living nightmare can't you see

You really have no choice

Faded memories haunt you

Listen closely to my voice

Feed me all your hatred

Empty all your thoughts to me

I can fill your emptiness

With immortality



Solo: King



Welcome to my world

Involve yourself within my dream

Experience a life

Just like your mind thought not to be

Take a look through time

At past or present worlds to be

I rule this inferno

Enthroned for eternity
