[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


[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]


[Verse 4]

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
