Slayer - Death's Head Lyrics






[Music & Lyrics: Hanneman]

Death's pointed at your head
Your mind's on the trigger pull it
Bludgeon bodies give up their muted horror story
Scene of your rage
Death is not strange
Blood on the walls
You stand alone satisfied
I'll wake the silence in you
I'll shoot the violence
Terrified by the thought that you are all alone
Paralyzed by the fact that you are all alone
You're losing your mind, I'm losing control
You're losing your mind, as I bury your world
I'll wake the silence in you
I'll shoot the violence
I can't remember yet someone always seems to die
You are the reason why I became the chosen one
I've got the right
God makes no sense
I've got the right
I feel my back against the wall

[Lead: Hanneman]

Death's pointed at your head
Your mind's on the trigger pull it
Bludgeon bodies give up their muted horror story
Scene of my rage
Scene of my rage
Death is your name
You're facing your grave
I taste your tears caress your face
I watch you lie insane
Dying for love
Praying to die
I want what's inside you
Dressed in your blood
You wear it well
Dying because I care
Your eyes are wide but you can't see
Rotting my lust away
I'll shoot the violence through you
And wake the part that's dead
I hate the silence in you
I want what's in your head

    Slayer of a Down

  4. J.... D....

    this time it was some black guy, that fucked some chick on an orange tarp behind my house. he has hard soled shoes on. it also now says sense on the window of the building i noticed earlier when i went to buy smokes, with three stars. anyway, you have failed, so finally listen and fuck off and leave me the fuck alone. (challenge, prior to universal television rick and morty. knock on my door and tell me what you want or what your problem is or fuck off and leave me alone. i have also stated if you want my attention knock on my door. idiots!)

  5. J.... D....

    remember you are the ones chasing me, i haven't even hit on any girls or tried to pick any up at all. i set challenge that you knock on my door and all have failed. so fuck off and leave me alone you are useless. (kissed a girl when really drunk, but she appeared to need it? i have interesting skill sets. unlike any of you.) 3 pulses this time, no tingley feeling, pretty weak she didnt really even get off. so stop using me to fuck chicks, as i refuse to sleep with any. unless they are actually willing to get to know me and change my mind. (the mark is that you idiots wouldnt listen even though i know you have audio, so now that there are 2 rings on my ring finger your bullshit should fucking stop. you should know better.)

  6. J.... D....

    you are aware even before the events of last month. i had previously refused to sleep with anyone or talk to any girls in public, past at tills. or i ditch them as quickly as possible, im getting pissed off because your not fucking listening and still harassing me. it is over, no girl will ever have any chance with me sexually ever because of your actions and years of fucking harassment. the only way that will change is if they actually get to know me, remember my challenge was set even before kaylas, and all failed. not one fucking person had the balls to knock on my fucking door. you lose and have failed!!!!!!

  7. J.... D....

    my my, so jealous what a fag bruce is (i suspect thats who) he wants whats in my head and is jealous that im one of the God's race.

  8. i.... y....

    FINAL WARNING FROM FATHER GOD YAHUAH THE GREAT
    I AM. Wednesday,
    January 9, 2019. Everything is unfolding just
    as the bible foretold. Wars, Volcanic Eruptions, Earthquakes, Extreme Weather,
    Christian Persecution, Violence and more! I was told by Jesus to tell you. You
    are special, it is not your fault, the world is falling apart. Its unfixable by
    human hands. The Rapture is soon, we are in extended time now. All answers to
    your problems and  spiritual growth and
    direction lie in Jesus here. Much is on Youtube already. Liebesbrief von Jesus
    - Loveletters from Jesus. Or PDF Dump below. Rejoice for our King is Coming.



    FINAL WARNING FROM FATHER GOD
    YAHUAH THE GREAT I AM This particular message is
    one from Father, Yahuah Himself. For most of my ministry, Father has spoken
    about His heart along with future events related to prophecy. Although He
    continues to warn those walking in disobedience to repent, He is not often
    extremely hard in tone or presentation. Remember, however, He is just, and He
    is Almighty, and nothing exists outside of Him. This is a message that I wish I
    did not have to write, however, in my obedience to Him and His words in
    Ezekiel, I will write it. My prayer is that is saves at least one soul from
    eternal damnation and separation from Father. There will always be mockers and
    scoffers and those who disagree with what is written here, but it matters not
    to me. My entire existence and purpose is to draw souls to Him and call men to
    repentance. Please pray for discernment, and ask if it is your responsibility
    to share this, whether anonymously or not, with those you know who are in this
    group Father is referring to. When you know truth, you are accountable for it.
    This message is for those living in willful sin. Let these words be a reminder
    to all who are still partaking of the world, in whatever manner, whether they
    are confessing to be followers of Yahushua or not.                                                                                     Daughter,
    it is your Father speaking to you. It is I, the Great I AM. Do not be afraid to
    speak My words. I speak a most dire warning to all the inhabitants of the
    earth. I speak to anyone who has NOT heeded My previous warnings- those whose
    eternal destiny is damnation. Listen to your Father! Listen to the One who gave
    you the breath of life! Your failure to respond and repent from your wicked and
    sinful ways will cost you eternity! You know not of that which you will face
    when the breath of life is taken from you and your soul leaves your body.
    You who have ignored the continuous and countless ways I have desperately
    presented truth to you. You who continually and repeatedly choose the desires
    of your flesh over the food I offer for your spirit. You who act and live as if
    you can serve God and mammon with no accountability. The eyes of your soul
    feast on murder, anger, rage, fear and death; fornication, idolatry and lust of
    every kind fill your eyes, minds and your ears everyday. You do not even know
    the meaning of the word compromise. You entertain yourselves by feasting on
    blood and death. Therefore, I will give you over to your desires. I will not
    save you who do not want to be saved. You give your allegiance
    and are in covenant with another by the willful sin you allow to perpetuate. Do
    you have any idea what you are doing? To give allegiance to any other god but
    Me is certain death. Eternal death. I will not protect you or keep you from the
    hour of trial coming imminently upon the earth when you feed from his table,
    the table of the enemy. I am holy and I am just, and you walk
    with no intercessor, My Son Yahushua to plead your cause or to intercede on
    your behalf. Judgment is here and you will stand alone, naked in your sin,
    filthy and repulsive in the presence of the Great I AM, and you will already be
    judged by your words, deeds and actions and your refusal to live a life of
    holiness and obedience. Your witchcraft will not save you then. What witchcraft
    is this you ask, in your vanity and your pride? It is the vile and filthy
    things that fill your lives. You dine with devils. You invite darkness in at
    every turn and darkness will be your abode eternally if you do not repent. You
    have given the enemy permission to enter all aspects of your lives and he finds
    his dwelling place already within you. I created My people and
    breathed My breath into you in order for you to glorify and reflect Me. Your
    agreements with satan and the permissions you have given him will turn your
    vessels from that which I desired to be used for My glory- vessels of honor,
    into that which satan will use to destroy you. Do you hear what I am saying?
    Because he cannot create and needs an army to inhabit to wage war on My
    righteous ones, you will be used as his instrument, instead of you being My
    instrument. The moment in which he and his demons are plunged
    from My Kingdom and cast to this earth, he will be desperate for a physical
    place of habitation. Those who are not walking with Me will be those he then
    completely inhabits. Why do you think My warnings have been shouted so urgently
    now? Because that time is imminently upon you, and then satan will have his
    army, and literally, all of hell will be loosed on this planet. This world has
    never seen anything like this before- an unimaginable and purely evil army of
    darkness and death, countless in numbers, hunting down those they may devour.
    Why would I warn and warn as I have, if I didn’t wish any would perish?
    But when that moment of fulfillment of My words are here, you do not want to be
    one that is not completely covered by the blood of My Son’s sacrifice, because
    then, it is too late, and your fate is sealed. Are these words
    harsh for you? Or do you laugh them away as you have in the past? Do you
    suppose they are being penned by an insane writer who has lost all sense of
    rationality? Do you have the courage to remain in your wickedness
    and find out if indeed these words speak truth? Mocking the messenger of these
    words is only mocking Me.This may be the last time you hear these words.
    WHO DO YOU SERVE THIS DAY??? YAHUAH GOD THE
    FATHER.



    https://www.heartdwellers.org/all-pdf-files.html Jesus is returning! Do you know Him? Jesus is God in flesh
    form. Jesus was born of a virgin. He died on a cross to save us from our sins.
    He led a perfect life to be the perfect sacrifice for you and me. He resurrected
    three days later to show His power over death! Jesus is the only way to Heaven.
    Time is short. Accept Jesus offer of salvation today. Here are the ABC's for
    becoming a Christian. A - Admit Admit to God that you are a sinner. Repent,
    turning away from your sin. "For all have sinned, and come short of the
    glory of God." Romans 3:23 B - Believe
    that Jesus is God's Son and accept God's gift of forgiveness from sin.
    "While we were sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 C – Confess.
    Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. "If you will
    confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart
    that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9 After a
    person admits to God that he or she is a sinner, repents and believes that
    Jesus is God's Son sent to die to pay for the sins of the world, and confesses
    that faith in Jesus, they are now a Christian and knows Jesus as their Savior.
    Repentance, properly defined, is necessary for salvation. Biblical repentance
    is changing your mind about Jesus Christ and turning to God in faith for
    salvation (Acts 3:19). Turning from
    sin is not the definition of repentance, but it is one of the results of
    genuine, faith-based repentance towards the Lord Jesus Christ. Here is a prayer
    you can pray to God if you like. Dear God, thank You for choosing to love me! I
    know I am a sinner. I believe You sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, to die for my
    sins. I believe He rose again and lives today. Today, I repent and turn away
    from my sin. Thank You for Your wonderful love and for changing my life
    forever. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

  35. A.... A....

    The best metal band everrr.

  36. G.... X....

    some tend to - maliciously - compare Slayer to korn . Fuck'em all.
    There's a huge difference between these two.
    Slayer IS Slayer. korn is JUST korn.

  37. M.... ....

    Such a good album. Slayer transitioned into 2000s numetal flawlessly.

  38. A.... N....

    Slayer rullll

  39. O.... M....

    I didn't think this record was all that great when it came out. I was wrong.

  40. C.... C....

    This is one of the heaviest fucking songs EVER!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!! I WANT TO FUCK TO IT😛

  41. a.... ....

    Very happy to see Scott Ian on the cover

    a.... ....

    I fucking loled

    a.... ....

    No it Keith Richard's

    a.... ....

    😂😂😂

  42. T.... ....

    i actually love this album christ

  43. I.... H....

    I don't know why this cheers me up, but it does so fuck it.

  44. A.... ....

    Coming back and reading comments on this again, I've listened to this a gazillion times and don't hear any "nu metal". I love this album. I think it actually has a kind of dark old school feel to it... like a dreary, creepy little journey. It stands out to me because of the pace... it is well put together, not sloppy. It's not too chaotic, the tone is far from obnoxious. People who can't hear the interesting and diverse rhythm in it must be deaf. Sure, compared to some slayer albums, it is more like an undercurrent, but that's not bad and it has its parading moments. They are well placed.

    A.... ....

    AllHaveShadows.com well said!

  45. B.... E....

    🤘😈🤘

  46. C.... D....

    I can't believe it's been 20 years since I went to Best Buy and bought this album the day it was released. I didn't like it much at first, but it really grew on me and has become one of my top 5 Slayer albums.

  47. B.... R....

    Shot bro!!!.

  48. M.... K....

    That was first slayer's song I heard . after all this time Slayer is only thing which can calm my mind

  49. c.... ....

    I have had this CD yes I said CD for years. I have been listening to the others I love the song right before the 1:25 mark

  50. W.... K....

    bludgeon bodies give up their muted horror stories.

  51. d.... p....

    Slayer sounds like slayer all else is immitation to the throne how do humans compare slayer with anything is boggling to me let alone bands. Like slipknot or soad give me a break

    d.... p....

    Listen to System of a Down's Sugar _immediately_ after having heard this... while entertaining the notion that Rick Rubin was producing both albums at around the same time.

    d.... p....

    While I do enjoy this album, there is no denying that Slayer sound like a heavier darker SOAD. And I'm not saying that as an insult, because I actually like SOAD.

  52. J.... ....

    This is like a reminescence of "Angel Of Death". The nazi SS units wore those badges with death's heads on them. The insignia was a death's head in fact. One of the divisions was called like this too. Disgusting.

    J.... ....

    Clearly you don't know slayer very well, bugger off snowflake and stop ruining the fun

    J.... ....

    @IRON WOLF1971 haha nice profile pic

  53. G.... T....

    that album came out about 18 years ago.

    G.... T....

    Grant Truex time flys. Are they America haters too?

  54. N.... T....

    Is this appropriate to listen to on the way to church?... I think so christians

  55. D.... ....

    Ah yes my favorite KoЯn song lmao

    D.... ....

    Viva La Raza how does this sound like korn???

    D.... ....

    Dj Unknown it sounds nothing like korn

    D.... ....

    i.... c....

    Coolest woman ever! See you in the Pit

  57. b.... j....

    soad vibes, anyone else?

    b.... j....

    nope.. what is that?

    b.... j....

    The Highway Song intro sounds similar to it, maybe that's what he meant.

    b.... j....

    I thought I was listening to Sugar for a second there.

    b.... j....

    Slayer Of A Down

    b.... j....

    Yes, sugar

  58. x.... ....

    Muzę chyba kogoś zabić....

  59. A.... ....

    Love Dave Lombardo, but I always start digging on the different drums on this album. Paul Bostaph is stepping up to the plate and this album may not be a fan favorite but it really shines, to me.

  60. G.... K....

    While playing this song, Slayer generates the electricity power which a 4-person family consumes in their house in a month.

    G.... K....

    #Science #Facts #MetalCanEndWorldwideEnergyCrisisRightNow

  61. E.... D....

    most under-rated slayer album by far

    E.... D....

    love that one... fuckin masterpiece for sure

    E.... D....

    Underrated since when?

    E.... D....

    It's definitely a more chunky chugging record and I dig it. Kind of like Slayer meets White Zombie!!

    E.... D....

    @Hemmo Hoving LOL its fucking music Your Loyalty complex is pathetic. Just means its not about the music for you.

  62. U.... G....

    :D This makes me want to catch butterflies as I skip along the fields!

    U.... G....

    Yeah, it's a real toe tapper.

    U.... G....

    Underground Gamer then tear the butterflies in half. Because Slayer.

    U.... G....

    Underground Gamer it makes want to put my head through the wall and chug a beer

    U.... G....

    Same! :D

    U.... G....

    This song makes me want to help the elderly cross the street and rescue all animals :)

  63. 7.... ....

    happy happy fun fun song :D

  64. w.... ....

    stain of mind sounds like coal chambers loco. fuck limp dickzkit and fred shut the fuck up durst

  65. K.... A....

    benoit and his kin tapped out to the DARKNESS didn't they? who iz next? paul levesq  stephanie m? i know linda and mr ketchup and mustard (BOLEA)

  66. K.... A....

    slay the weak you say dimebag kissed thy GNASHER DIDNT HE?  whos next? 

  67. K.... A....

    slay the weak you say? hannemans dead aint he? whos next!

  68. J.... F....

    slayer forever

  69. R.... ....

    Slayer is my happy place

  70. M.... ....

    DESTRUCTION WILL OCCUR!

  71. M.... ....

    Ask them? How does that work? Last time I checked, you can tell a genre by listening to it, not by communicating. Since the "makers" of the music is all you can think about, Slayer are fans of Slipknot. I suggest you listen to this album and tell me there is no Nu metal influences with 100% proof. From what I and society has heard from this album, it has the same tone of emotional vocals that many Nu metal bands had at this time. So far, you proved you have to say "poser" to win an argument.

  72. C.... ....

    LOL!! how you're wrong? Why don't you go ask the people who made the music if they would have anything to do with "Nu" It's that simple. People like you would be ass whooped in the 80's! Your perception is so severely skewed. I'm holding back the long list of abuses and obscenities I would throw your way, because posers aren't even worth the trouble. You=POSER! Dig a hole and die in it.

  73. M.... ....

    Care to explain how I'm "wrong"? Seriously, if you listen to this album, you'll hear Nu metal influences. It's not that hard to understand.

  74. C.... ....

    Slayer and Nu? How many times did you get dropped on your head as a child? Are your parents crackheads?? :D

  75. E.... ....

    shit happens

  76. d.... a....

    Fucking insane and awesome Hail Slayer FOreverA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  77. d.... ....

    i am sitting her and i am like why is this so low the i fuckin see
    that the damn speakers were low

  78. V.... ....

    Static X's silly version

  79. c.... ....

    i feel so fucking dumb right now last night i was searching for this song and I couldn't find it.
    it was because I was searching for Death's hand instead.

  80. J.... C....

    kerry king?!

  81. g.... ....

    What? Are you serious?

  82. C.... ....

    I listened to this album so much back in high school. This was my favorite song on it.

    C.... ....

    Chakan hell yes!

  83. M.... ....

    Call this album what you want, but the Nu Metal influence is pretty obvious to hear. It's not a bad thing at all really. Stain of mind has an obvious Limp Bizkit inspiration, Desire, Love to Hate, and that lyric quote you wrote are obvious Korn inspirations as well(not unless they listened to other Nu Metal bands at that time). I would call this album a combination of Thrash and Nu Metal, again, nothing wrong with that.

    M.... ....

    Limp Bizkit???

  84. A.... M....

    the best slayer album ever! ;)

  85. h.... ....

    "...THE FUCKIN' WORLD!!!!"

  86. C.... ....

    HAIL SLAYER

  87. d.... ....

    I think the best part is from 0:00 to 3:29!
