Listen to the Mayhem
Drifting through the cold winds
While the sky goes pitch black
under heavy clouds of melancholy
tearing through the beams
of a dying, empty sun
while that distant fog creeps closer
A coven of lost joy
Listen to the pride of Slayer
A triumphant view against the Northern Sky
Where the days stay dim
and night feels just the same
The moonlight drank the blood
of a thousand pagans
It took a whole ten centuries
before the king sitting on his northern throne
heard the stories of the crucified one
A coven of renewed joy;
a thousand years have gone by since then—
years defined by lost pride and lust
Souls of blasphemy,
listen to the Mayhem
We are a blaze in the Northern Sky
The next thousand years belong to us
