[Verse 1]

Use the need, lose control

Hidden voice inviting

Imposing will, unconscious skill

Embraced immoral passion

Born in still, thirst for thrill

Indulgence of illusion

Neurotic, psychotic

Dead silent screams, come alive

[Chorus]

Killing seed, first degree

I shut the world outside

Denied and laid to waste

The body and soul divide

[Verse 2]

A final thrill, a timely kill

Unbound, unguarded

Fantasized, realized

Enforced upon the dying

Free reign of the asylum

Archaic energy thrives

Dead cold, I control

Eternal screams that slowly die

[Chorus]

Killing spree, first degree

I shut the world outside

Denied and laid to waste

The body and soul divide

[Post-Chorus]

Dementia born of sin

A symptom that begins

Vengeance so divine

[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]

[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]

[Bridge]

Lost my grip of what's real

Unrestrained self-induced vertigo

Manic power chills my spine

I can't erase this instinct I embrace

Two-faced moral abandon

Races my blood, boils my skin

Unhinging the doorway to this asylum

Releasing unshackled poison dreams

Beginning the end of temptation

A vengeance so divine

The end of temptation

A vengeance so divine

[Chorus]

Killing spree, first degree

I shut the world outside

Denied and laid to waste

The body and soul divide

[Outro]

Killing spree, first degree

The body and soul divided

Killing spree
