Exodus - Only Death Decides Lyrics






Sinner, cheater, liar
Made your living till the day you retired
Stealing, taking, using, and abusing
Now for all your sins that you are accused of
Cruelty, greed, dishonesty, and hate
Forever locked outside the pearly gates
Begging, praying, pleading, and bleeding
Won't extinguish the fire you're feeling!
They say when you die you go to hell
But when you're dead it's too late to tell you
You're left to rot in your wooden cell
Am I in Heaven, or am I in Hell?
Am I in Heaven, or am I just in Hell?

Only death decides for sure
Don't you know only death decides...
Where you go!

Pain, sadness, fear
Is all you've ever given throughout the years
Thievery, intimidation, and assault
Tools of the trade until death puts a halt
Because you're deceiving, unfeeling, and misleading
The world is final, there's no use in appealing
The culmination and sudden realization
It's all real, no hallucination!

They say when you die you go to hell
But when you're dead it's too late to tell you
You're left to rot on your wooden cell
Am I in Heaven, or am I in Hell?
Am I in Heaven, or am I just in Hell?

Only death decides where you go?
Can't you see what death decides for me?
You'll never know until death decides!

Dealer, pusher, conniver
It's no surprise you fell paralyzed
Felon, loser, and misuser
You're dead broke, a washed-up boozer
Misery, disaster, catastrophy
Exactly how you knew the end would be
Torture, terror, and nightmare
Is what you'll receive when death comes in three's

They say when you die you go to hell
But when you're dead it's too late to tell you!
You're left to rot in your wooden cell
Am I Heaven, or am I in Hell?
Am I Heaven, or am I just in Hell?

Only death decides for sure
Don't you know only death decides for me?
You'll never know until death decides...
Where you go!

    I was wasted when I first heard this song, 4-years sober and it sounds even better.

  39. S.... B....

    Thrash at its best!!!!! Like a ton of bricks to the head \m/><\m/

  40. S.... ....

    Watching Peter Ramondetta brought me here.

  41. B.... B....

    Exodus is the definition of Thrash! Fuckin' love this band!

  42. M.... H....

    Bad ass album still....

  43. A.... S....

    Awesome! Thanks for posting.

  44. M.... ....

    To me, the heaviest, most amazing ,well produced metal tune of all time.

  45. G.... D....

    Speaking of this song, it never turns up in any top 10 Exodus song lists which is total BS. This has to be one of their best ever IMO. Just sayin...thoughts?

    G.... D....

    Sadly, posers start to listen to songs instead of albums once a band gets mainstream and fuck everything up. There is no top 10 exodus songs, only Exodus Albums.

    G.... D....

    All exodus is good. Fuck polls.

    G.... D....

    Funeral hymn. 1 of....

    G.... D....

    This is the track that got Me to delve further and listen to everything the band ever made its a good one definitely

    G.... D....

    Not their best album... that would be the flawless Pleasures of the flesh. ..but certainly contender for their best track and one of the greatest thrash songs of all time.

  46. G.... D....

    Even today this is still awesome!!!

  47. �.... �....

    Best!hail from Russia!!

    �.... �....

    ты имя себе придумал чтоли или тебя реально так сложно зовут?

    �.... �....

    Метал-равшан!

    �.... �....

    @bad kampot раста-иван

  48. L.... A....

    Una canción perfecta.... ¡¡¡

  49. R.... V....

    metal- straight up your ass!

  50. m.... m....

    that's real killer distortion sound, not today sissies playing thrash metal with shitty sound. they don't have any clue with all that Hi tech crap that they have these days to adjust guitar distorsion. I don't listen nothing after 1998

    m.... m....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHBrA8L7UH8

    m.... m....

    maxim m...You're right. I think exactly the same. Metal was massive in 80 and 90...today is ridiculous. Plastic sound, plastic production, plastic bands.

    m.... m....

    give power trip and dust bolt a chance !

    m.... m....

    I know what you mean, but give good songs a chance for example the right to go insane or bit the hand from megadeth

    m.... m....

    You're missing out on Havok and Warbringer then. Your loss.

  51. S.... L....

    Their guitar riffs make the hair on my arm stand I like it so much! Fuck yeah!! Bands like this made me want to play. Still jammin to this shit.

  52. B.... C....

    Btw...Still Have all Exodus complete library OG vinyl and OG CD. Never bought all on tape.

  53. T.... 7....

    The last time I saw Baloff (at the Thrash Of The Titans show), they closed with this.
    That's what I think of now, when I hear this.
    RAAAAAAGE!!!

    T.... 7....

    kickin straight balls!

    T.... 7....

    What a great memory !

    T.... 7....

    Horns up, Pilgrim \m/

  54. W.... W....

    fuckin kills!!!!

  55. A.... ....

    Is it just me or did metal seem meaner and grittier back then?

    A.... ....

    @BestServedCold10 straight libtard

    A.... ....

    @BestServedCold10 go back to your safe space before you get triggered and stay woke lol.

    A.... ....

    @Slimey Bastard and they have raided the fan bases too, I'm sick of seeing Kim kardashian looking girls who shop at forever 21 talk wearing Exodus shirts, like, what pain do you know?

    A.... ....

    CONVICTION. THIS IS AS REAL AS IT GETS. THESE GUYS ARE THE DEFINITION OF THRASH.
    GARY HOLT WAS TOO MUCH FOR KIRK HAMETT.

    I LIKE ANTHRAX BUT EXODUS SHOULD HAVE EDGED THEM OUT FOR THE BIG 4 TITLE. JS

    A.... ....
