Overt Enemy Lyrics by Slayer

Diabolus in Musica

1998

[Verse 1]
I breach your life
Indoctrinate
Police your thoughts
Ask why I hate
I lose control
When I see your face

Abusing power
I infiltrate
Continue lies
Then masturbate
I walk the line
I'll do no time

I hate your church
I'll burn your state
A bleeding heart
A seal of fate
There is no crime
Within my mind

[Chorus]
I'll sell your life and preach your death
A wicked plan born of contempt
Bleeding my ideology through pain

[Lead: Hanneman]

[Verse 2]
Audacious plans
I calculate
A new worldview
I'll reinstate
Don't cross my path
Or I'll see you burn

You'll meet your end
Find death alone
No grave to mark
The seeds you've sown
You've pushed too far
My secrets I defend

[Chorus]
I'll sell your life and preach your death
A wicked plan born of contempt
Bleeding my ideology through pain

[Lead: Hanneman]

[Bridge]
Demonize what is feared, profane architect
Skull and bones through the mind
Barbaric thoughts of old
Celebrate all unknown
At last, the dead await
The die is cast for the meek
Inherit endless dead time

Smell the victims are near
Consume the catalyst
Hunting masses for game
Implanting septic thoughts
Reaping terror through words while
Armed behind your back
Pseudo-leaders betray
Enslaving all of mankind

[Refrain]
Cast out the demigod
Dethrone the demagogue
Cast out the church of God

[Bridge]
Demonize what is feared, profane architect
(Cast out the church of God)
Skull and bones through the mind
(Cast out the church of God)
Barbaric thoughts of old
Celebrate all unknown
(Cast out the church of God)
At last, the dead await
The die is cast for the meek
(Cast out the church of God)
Inherit endless dead time

[Outro]
I command your life
And I don't care
Let bullets rain
From everywhere
No suicide
Will save you from yourself
