[Verse 1]

Nightmare, the persecution

A child's dream of death

Torment, ill forgotten

A soul that will never rest

Guidance, it means nothing

In a world of brutal time

Electric, circus, wild

Deep in the infant's mind

[Chorus]

Silent scream

Bury the unwanted child

Beaten and torn

Sacrifice the unborn

[Verse 2]

Shattered, another child

Bearer of no name

Restrained, insane games

Suffer the children condemned

Scattered, remnants of life

Murder, a time to die

Pain, sufferaged, toyed

Life's little fragments destroyed

[Chorus]

Silent scream

Crucify the bastard sons

Beaten and torn

Sanctify lives of scorn

[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]

[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]

[Bridge]

Life preordained

Humanity maintained

Extraction, termination

Pain's agonizing stain

Embryonic death

Embedded in your brain

Suffocation, strangulation

Death is fucking you insane

[Verse 1]

Nightmare, the persecution

A child's dream of death

Torment, ill forgotten

A soul that will never rest

[Outro]

Innocence withdrawn in fear

Fires burning, can you hear

Cries in the night?
