Slayer - Haunting The Chapel Lyrics






[Hanneman/King]

The holy cross
Symbol of lies
Intimitade the lives of Christian born
Speak of death
The words of hate
Anticipation grows amongst the dead
Hell has seen
The priests attempt
To bring forth their lord of the cross
Strike of twelve
Raise the dead
The chapel comes under attack

The ghosts of sin
Torment the priests
Their altar will soon be destroyed
Heaven's palace
Turning black
The church now belongs to the dead
Blackened magic
Infest with lust
Lucifer rules supreme
The crystal ball shows unknown fate
The last thing that's heard is the screams

Ghosts from hell invade this feeble shrine
Heaven's holy house will fall in time
Satan's morbid soldiers chant in lust
Destruction of the church we'll burn the cross

Attacking angels as they pray to god
Tormented preachers hail the twisted cross
Haunting the chapel
Hell's demons prevail
Death has come
The house of god has failed

    1. Chemical Warfare


    [Hanneman/King]

    Frantic minds are terrified
    Life lies in a grave
    Silent death rides high above
    On the wings of revelation
    Multi death from chemicals
    Arrogance has won
    Annihilation must be swift
    Destroy without destruction

    Gods on the throne must be watching from hell
    Awaiting the mass genocide
    Soldiers defeated by death from a smell
    Bodies lie dormant no life
    Rising new souls on the lands where they fell
    Demons not ready to die
    Nothing to see where the sleeping souls lie

    Chemical warfare

    Artificial fucking peace
    Line up in a death row
    Generals in their slow defeat
    Diminished from this hell
    Banished from the dying world
    The lords of hell await
    Dogs of war are helpless prey
    To immortality

    Gods on the throne must be watching from hell
    Awaiting the mass genocide
    Soldiers defeated by death from a smell
    Bodies lie dormant no life
    Rising new souls on the lands where they fell
    Demons not ready to die
    Nothing to see where the sleeping souls lie

    Chemical warfare!!!

    Fuck it up!

    Liquidate
    The torture kills the troops that try to fight
    Terminate
    Human pesticide bring days of doom
    Mist falls
    The deadly gas that brings them to their knees
    Sacrifice
    Steal the soul and send his corpse to hell

    Hahahahahaha

    Mummified regions lying in dust
    Fall victim to this game
    Petrified corpses bathing in rust
    Taken without being blamed
    Falsified spirits farther they fall
    Soon they will join us in hell
    See the sky burning the gates are ablaze
    Satan awaits eager to merge

    Gods on the throne must be watching from hell
    Awaiting the mass genocide
    Soldiers defeated by death from a smell
    Bodies lie dormant no life
    Rising new souls on the lands where they fell
    Demons not ready to die
    Nothing to see where the sleeping souls lie

    Chemical warfare

    Warfare!


    2. Captor Of Sin


    [Hanneman/King]

    Harlots of Hell spread your wings
    As I penetrate your soul
    Feel the fire shoot through your body
    As I slip into your throne
    Cast aside, do as you will
    I care not how you plead
    Satan's child now stalks the earth
    Born from my demon seed

    Hot winds of Hell
    Burns, in my wake
    Death is what you pray,
    Behold, captor of sin

    Infernal slaves of manipulation
    Captive of my vice
    Abandon God, the helpless one
    To relieve you of your plight
    Subversive action will not help
    It will strengthen me
    I see decline in your every move
    Death your final plea

    Hot winds of Hell
    Burns, in my wake
    Death is what you pray,
    Behold, captor of sin

    Your skin turns to leather
    I ignite your timid blood
    You feel my lethal touch
    As I grasp your weary soul
    I'll take you down into the fire

    4. Aggressive Perfector


    [bonus]

    Follow me, I'll lead the way; your fears will soon overtake
    Hide your infinite tears inside, it seeks your smallest break
    Screaming as if nothing helps, you press on to survive
    Playing out the fantasies of a force that keeps you alive

    He'll have you down on your knees
    You play his fatal game
    He'll satisfy your every need
    You'll never be the same

    Take my hand, I'll show you how;
    You've just one life to live
    The road you're on goes straight to hell;
    Your life is yours to give
    His fantasies of all of you are much too great to see
    This world your living is so unreal, perfected just for me

    He'll have you down on your knees
    You play his fatal game
    He'll satisfy your every need
    You'll never be the same

  17. J.... G....

    FUCKING SLAYER !!!

  18. K.... N....

    Första Slayer konserten i Köpenhamn när Slayer var som bäst

  19. W.... A....

    Best EP

  20. h.... s....

    Slayer para sempre em minha vida ...

  21. G.... R....

    Voltei a 1986! Haunting the chapel foi a primeira música do slayer que escutei e gravei em k7. Tenho até hoje.

    When this album was released all my friends made fun of me for listening to it. Even the people I played in a band with. But after a little while we played Captor of sin as a cover :) They didn't get it the firts few times.

    M.... ....

    Who in the hell would make fun of you for listening to slayer lol like wtf????

  68. D.... ....

    This is stupidly good. I bought this and Possessed's EP back in 1986. I am so thrilled, but sad, I will see Slayer's last concert in Denmark 3/12/18. Cannot but help giggle the venue is Royal Arena on....Hannemans Alle!

    Franz Dorregaray Yes he does Jeff Hanneman is one of the greatest guys that ever picked up a guitar

  72. r.... h....

    Listening to this and then thinking about their loss of Jeff and Dave not playing with them. Then to think of their retirement. Shit....time flies for mortal man. We are but dust in the wind thats for sure. I wasnt even thinking of the song dust in the wind lol. Man it makes you go back to the 80's when time goes by slowly....and death is the least thought about. Im happy that they are closing off the second leg in London Ont Canada. Plus the other bands are also my childhoood (except lamb of god which i never listened to;have to check them out lol) Never seen Napalm Death live. Barneys unmistakable growl...cant wait. All the best to all you real metalheads! Savour each day. We have these amazing bands till our ends

  80. D.... i....

    Tom araya laugh

  81. O.... ....

    My older cousin gave me this cassette back in 84 or 85... I was like 9 at the time but already had a taste for heavy music. He said he didn't like it that it was way too fast and cacophonic for him. I put on the tape and didn't really like it either back then... couple years later I had totally forgot about that band and saw Reign in Blood at the music store and bought it cause the cover was cool. Best random buy ever, lol.

  82. t.... g....
