Death’s Head Lyrics by Slayer

Soundtrack to the Apocalypse

1998

[Verse 1]
Death's pointed at your head
Your mind's on the trigger, pull it
Bludgeoned bodies give up
Their muted horror story
Scene of your rage
Death is not strange
Blood on the walls
You stand alone satisfied

[Chorus]
I'll wake the silence in you
I'll shoot the violence through you

[Verse 2]
Terrified by the thought that you are all alone
Paralyzed by the fact that you are not alone
You're losing your mind, I'm losing control
You're losing your mind, as I bury your world

[Chorus]
I'll wake the silence in you
I'll shoot the violence through you

[Verse 3]
I can't remember, yet someone always seems to die
You are the reason why I became the chosen one
I've got the right
God makes no sense
I've got the right
I feel my back against the wall
The fuckin' wall

[Lead: Hanneman]

[Verse 3]
Death's pointed at your head
Your mind's on the trigger, pull it
Bludgeoned bodies give up
Their muted horror story
This is my rage
This is my rage
Death is your name
You're facing your grave

[Bridge]
I taste your tears, caress your face
I watch you lie insane
Dying for love
Praying to die
I want what's inside you

Dressed in your blood
You wear it well
Dying because I care
Your eyes are wide, but you cannot see
Rotting my lust away

[Outro]
I'll shoot the violence through you
And wake the part that's dead
I hate the silence in you
I want what's in your head
