Altar Of Sacrifice Lyrics

(Lyrics - King, Music - Hanneman)

 

Waiting the hour destined to die

Here on the table of hell

A figure in white unknown by man

Approaching the altar of death

High priest awaiting dagger in hand

Spilling the pure virgin blood

Satan's slaughter, ceremonial death

Answer his every command

 

Death will come easy just close your eyes -

Dream of the friends you'll see

Heavenly failure losing again

Move on to a new form of life

 

Altar of sacrifice, curse of the damned

Confronting the evil you dread

Coalesce into one your shadow and soul

Soon you will meet the undead

(LEAD: HANNEMAN)

[Altar of sacrifice, curse of the damned

 Confronting the evil you dread

 Coalesce into one your shadow and soul

 Soon you will meet the undead]

Enter to the realm of Satan!

(LEAD: HANNEMAN)

Blood turning black, the change has begun

Feeling the hatred of all damned in Hell

Flesh starts to burn, twist and deform

Eyes dripping blood realization of death

Transforming of five toes to two

Learn the sacred words of praise, hail Satan

(LEAD: HANNEMAN)

A gift of powers disposed upon you

Use them when you feel the need

Master the forces and powers of Satan

Controlling the creature's instinct

Drawn to the castles that float in the sky

Learn to resist the temptation

Watching the angels sift through the heavens

Endlessly search[ing] for salvation

(LEAD: KING)
