Slayer - Epidemic Lyrics






Breeding fast in poverty
Infectious driving dormant seed
Inside your carcass start to mate
Left in charge to dominate
Waiting to unfold
Raging uncontrolled
Adapt a potency
Death machine, infest my corpse to be

Unyielding kings of agony
Test your body chemistry
Pulmonary overthrow
Possession of your inner throne
Invasions quickly override, malicious domineering strike
Flood your veins commit slow death
Deteriorate your makers met

Perpetual demise
On a fast decline
Killing tendency
Epidemic, permanent disease

Incapacitate, fall into your fate
Pain results in screams, bleed internally
Years will pass before it can be cured

  10. A.... N....

    one of my favourite songs from SLAYER! ! ! Have they ever performed this song live?

    A.... N....

    If you look for "still reigning" on here they played the whole Reign In Blood album in its entirety. Very well in fact :-)

    A.... N....

    @Noizy Neighbour Thanks mate. I just watched that concert now and I must say, they put on one hell of a show.

  11. S.... B....

  15. V.... G....

    The rhythm from 1.31 keeps me addicted. Awesome.

  16. G.... V....

    Thrash til you fucking die!🤕🤘

  17. D.... S....

    Yes cram divad Dave kills it. Now I don't know if your a drummer but if you are how does he do that roll across the Tom's and come back to the snare considering he has to lead with his right hand but the last stroke on the Tom's is with his left hand. I thought maybe he used 2 snares or 4 mounted Tom's on the 2 base drums or maybe he leads with his left hand.?

  18. c.... t....

    01:51 Damm!!!!!!! I love this fucking scream

  26. H.... T....

    01:30-01:51 <3

    H.... T....

    Never thought a metallica fan would like slayer, they usually shit on em

    H.... T....

    @derekobs Metallica is my favorite band, and Slayer is a very close second. Third favorite would either be Scorpions or Pantera.

  27. G.... ....

    0:41 ohh...that riff

  28. W.... O....

    Whether you agree or not the riff sounds more like strike of the beast (Exodus)

  29. I.... W....

    Going to see them minus hanneman ☹ in glasgow in 2 months time 😆 cant wait

    I.... W....

    Going to see them live in Athens tomorrow. The hype is unreal

  30. l.... ....

    Years will pass before it can be cuuuURRRRRREEEEEEDDDDDD

  31. A.... C....

    Lars jerks off to this

  32. t.... ....

    Epidemic 4 President! Lombardo absolutely brutal on the skins! Best cut on the album in an album full of choice cuts...

    t.... ....

    tomworrier let me tell you as a drummer who was able to play 95 percent of the mucic I heard on the radio by 16. Its 25 years later and I stlll have trouble makig it back to the snare drum on time. Lombardo isn't just a speed drummer with with lightning limbs and great endurance. Listen to the remake of in a gadda da vida or at dawn they sleep. He is a lot more versatile than people think. I love slayer since I was 12. But slayer and the who are the only bands that made me lose interest after they left (OR DIED IN THE LOONS CASE). AND I USUALLY DONT CARE IF A MUSICIAN LEAVES UNLESS THE MUSIC SUFFERS. KEEP THAT KNIFE ON YOU DAVE NEXT TIME THEY GIVE YOU A HARD TIME. AND KERRY, TOM DAVE LOMbardo is to slayer what bonzo was to zep.

    t.... ....

    Been my favorite Slayer track since 1986.....it's why I"m listening to it now.

  33. T.... N....

    Great song. Should have been longer I think!

  34. B.... A....

    All time classic Slayer disco! \m/ 666/m/

  35. R.... A....

    B.... R....

    B.... R....

    B.... R....

    this IS Permanent desease !!! not speed metal ...

    B.... R....

    @n n None of those demos are death metal. Hell awaits has riffs that sound far more death metal than any of those demos

  47. S.... S....

    Intro!!!

  48. J.... E....

    im 32 yo cristian and i like slayer and i listen slayer, sepultura, exodus, destruction, sodom, etc, alone since i was 15 yo in my computer downloaded from napster. Stupid kids who swear that they are bad for listening slayer in front of their friends and rejecting christ. Music must be independent to religión, otherwise you are stupid, i say that because i see a lot of comments triying to be cool talking shit about god, that does not become a real rocker, but yes in a stupid posser.

    J.... E....

    Alright calm your self righteousness

  49. G.... A....

    Georgie😄

  50. P.... D....

  57. A.... C....

    This song is about Cellular phones.

    A.... C....

    +coolStoryBro i think you ment "lol"

    A.... C....

    I think you meant, "Meant." :)

  58. l.... m....

    my doctors name ? Dave Lombardo .

  59. c.... d....

    That intro by Lombardo contains more talent in 4 seconds than most drummers in their career.

    c.... d....

    @SpiralDream Agreed, modern Thrash is generic and boring.

    c.... d....

    Yeah had him at number 10 of the best all times drummers no he should be in the top.5 blows most metal drummers away Charlie B of Anthrax is not far behind him Paul Bostaph sucks I think Charlie B would be a much better replacement for Slayer

    c.... d....

    @Ryan Tuttle that's the most ridiculous statement of this generation

    c.... d....

    So true, man. So true.

    c.... d....

    @James LeClair Dave was never a student of Hoglan, Gene just gave Dave some tips on how to play double bass. Dave asked Gene to be his mentor but Gene refused to start his own career as a drummer.

  60. S.... S....

    I think slayer already fucked Satan,that's why they still kick ass as of today😈😬

  61. t.... ....

    satan sucks but i like slayer

    t.... ....

    mmm yep

    t.... ....

    Satan Sucks Slayer

    t.... ....

    Singing about satan doesn't mean you are satanic.

    t.... ....

    slayer sucks but I like satan
