Slayer - Show No Mercy Lyrics






[Lyrics - King; Music - King]

Through the night we rise in pairs
Lords at night we ride
From the depths of Hell's domain
Reborn to reign this night
Roam throughout the endless wars
Hold high his name we must
Warriors from the gates of Hell
In Lord Satan we trust

[Chorus]
Stalking the night can't you feel I'm near
Watching each step that you take
I take lives and show all no mercy this night
Attack those not knowing my force ("...their fate") [1:st & 3:rd time]

Brothers of the Prince of Night
By bargains we have made
Allies with the darkened souls
Our legions we must save
Fight for our eternal quest
God can't save you in time
Evil stalks the night with us
Your soul it shall be mine

[Chorus]

I am the menace in your eyes
The one you can't escape
Your life falls in my grasp
Your know your end is near
You pray your God will help
His strength no match for mine
Your last hope slips away
Thy soul begins to bleed
I tear your flesh to shreds
Burn holes throughout your mind
Your eyes now filled with blood
A victim of my force
In endless agony
You realize your defeat
Recite my Master's chants
Your soul now his to keep

  5. E.... B....

    SUCH A KICK ASS ALBUM 🙏🏼💯💢🤟😎👀🔥

  6. B.... H....

    This is probably the best Slayer album ever. We would not have all these great thrash metal bands if it were not for Slayer.

  7. B.... H....

    I had this album on vinyl in 1985 when I was just 11 years old. It would drive my parents nuts.

  8. K.... ....

    Aggressive protector

  11. D.... J....

    One of the greatest metal albums ever released.

  12. o.... ....

    Dave still had that Hardcore swagger on this album, before metal drumming got that speed precision. Such a moment.

  13. J.... S....

  17. F.... B....

    Daryl Hall and John Oates are so Extraordinary

  18. J.... H....

    This is easily the best debut album out of all of the debut albums to come out of the big 4. It has the perfect thrash sound in my opinion and it's so raw unpolished, aggressive and just fucking awesome and an all around blast to listen to. This is also my favorite Slayer album.

  19. c.... ....

    oh my fuck, I can see how Slayer - Show No Mercy, Anthrax - Fistful of Metal, Exodus - Bonded by Blood, and Metallica - Kill em All, all sound alike. It's like they were all in the same church chorus when they was kids.

  20. t.... ....

    Crionics might be thier most underrated songer. God fucking damn

  21. t.... ....

    Crionics might be thier most underrated songer. God fucking damn

    Esa transición entre speed metal al thrash metal es única. El metal alcanzó la perfección entre el 83 y el 86.

    Please visit metalpunkz.com and leave us a Slayer Album review. We are a new metal site and want reviews from you to publish for all.

  41. G.... J....

    RUSH and SLAYER are my two favorite bands of all time!!

  42. P.... G....

    How incredibly thrashy it sounds. Astounding. But I find it very fresh, sounding like perhaps Agent Steel or Sodom. Not a big fan of Slayer... Still great though.

  43. Y.... ....

    13:21 -14:13...

  44. s.... 4....

    4:53 Top of the Classical Album:


    [Part I: Metal Storm]

    [Part 2: Face the Slayer]

    [Verse 1]
    A misty night, a perfect night
    Beneath the cold of the frozen star
    You feel the fright, you know I'm near
    You never should have come this far
    I'm alive, you can't kill me
    I will survive eternity

    [Verse 2]
    Go through the fire, walk past the dead
    Lost in my eternal maze
    Your heart pounds through the mist filled air
    Your concentration breaks for me to strike
    You've cowered down, you've broken the chain
    Now I can freeze your burning eyes

    [Verse 3]
    You see me lift the axe, as it plunges through your shield
    You now begin to panic as you see your chances grow slim
    You're running through the endless maze
    You turn and I'll be there
    A force too strong for you to fight
    I'll see your end tonight

    [Verse 4]
    You think you can destroy me? You'd better think again
    I am eternal terror, my quest will never end
    I'll trap you in the pentagram
    And seal your battered tomb
    Your life is just another game
    For Satan's night of doom

  49. S.... L....

    Currently listening to: Slayer - Show No Mercy

  50. D.... O....

    Black Magic is a personal favorite.

  51. C.... M....

    Hat's off...Kerry....King! Remember....there was that Won Dime....hahahahaha....Talk to the EyE-ya-Tol-Uh....ASS-uh....Anna? ;-). Yeah. It's a done deal.

  53. D.... V....

    Sorry to say it, but... SNM is even better than RIB! Hahahaha!

  54. M.... V....

    Cresci escutando esse vinil e ainda escutando até hoje. É pra eternidade.

    M.... V....

    Somos dois colega.Esse tipo de som é mágico, quanto mais vc ouve mais quer continuar ouvindo é simplesmente inexplicável..Tenho 40 anos e desde os 20 ouço slayer todos os dias

  55. T.... R....

    Still the best. Heaviest thing on the planet when it came out.

  56. P.... C....

    i met kerry king , total asshole, get over yourself. fuck you. trouble rules

  57. B.... C....

    1983 I was a sophomore in high school i was listening to college radio metal on metal show heard die by the sword found this album the next day bought it and never looked back first time I saw Slayer was 1986-87 reign in blood tour great show.

  58. r.... s....

    They were never given the reginizetion for their hard work because of Tom A. He's an idiot!

  59. b.... ....

    Happy birthday 36

  60. D.... E....

    Released 36 years ago today!

  61. b.... p....

    get to write the tracklist minutage (in order to let us select them one at a time) NOT the minute that songs last!

  62. E.... S....

    Groundbreaking classic! The natural evolution from Venom, Judas Priest and punk, taking it's real predestined form. This and Hell Awaits pretty much laid down the template for what was to come. Paralleled only by Celtic Frost's Morbid Tales I believe.

  63. �.... ....

    のっけから狂ってる(笑)
    意外と伝統的なメタルもしてるけどハードコアに近いかな?
    しかしかっこいいなあ。最高!

  64. Y.... A....

    not set right the time bolow

  65. J.... M....

    Black magic sounds like Five magics of Megadeth

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

    Slayer never die. 🤘🏽🤘🏽

  67. D.... B....

    Simply the best thrash album ever made!

    D.... B....

    Yeah,but I have to say most metal heads shit their pants the first time they heard Master of Puppets...Check out Municipal Waste & Iron Reagan,you'll dig modern crossover 🤘

  68. K.... S....

    Great Album , but an awful cover!

  69. f.... a....

    Una verdadera joya album creado en el mismo infierno salud ¡¡

  70. n.... 1....

    I can see Slayer doing a few one off shows in the future rather than a professional world tour. The band have been at it since these days.

    n.... 1....

    Slayer will never play again as a band dude ever not even small shows

  71. S.... B....

    It says The Antichrist is written by Hall and Oates😂

  72. L.... D....

    Escuto isso aí des de pia e muito tri cronics

  73. t.... h....

    awesome

  74. S.... D....

    SLAYEEEEEER

  75. J.... F....

    People thought Slayer were truly evil.

    Like Freddie Krooger lol 😂

  76. V.... C....

    Metallica doesn't hold a candle to Slayer, I LOVE them both...bottom line....no comparison....ill put it to you like this : Metallica ::: DIE DIE DIE, Slayer ::: Kill Kill Kill....figure it out yourself, fight till death, have a great day tomorrow everyone!!

  77. V.... C....

    possibly the greatest thrash album ever created, long live Slayer.

  78. s.... b....

    Tom has the best fucking scream\shriek in all of metal!! Fucking Dave is a madman on the set!!! Slayer forever 🤘⚡🤘

  79. E.... M....

    One of the ultimate Holy Grails for Slayer and for Thrash Metal.

    Quality recording thanks to Analog. Stunning clean smooth compositions, clean well made and polished solos. And clean chord progressions. A rare 10 out of 10 next to Ride The Lightning by Metallica.


    Sadly after this album the quality of the recordings, the quality of the songs started diminishing slowly. Poor chord progressions, solos becoming more random and dirty. Even worse analog recordings transitioning into digital mess which ended up ruining Heavy Metal overall.

    Digital made Metal sound flat, less 3D.

  80. T.... V....

    S L A Y E R

  81. P.... ....

    Wait a minute....a Slayer album with good solos?

  82. T.... X....

    Iron Maiden influence + Thrash metal = This album. A perfect mix

    T.... X....

    You're forgetting Mercyful Fate who's first EP every Thrash band took quite the large bite out of. ESPECIALLY the Big 4. Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth big time. This album has that influence written all over it.

    T.... X....

    Anyway Maiden influenced all the big 4 bands
    It's like the best metal spot
    Brutal & mystical

    T.... X....

    @erick olachea They did, but listen to that first Mercyful Fate EP then listen to this album. More Fate influenced than Maiden imo. Lyrically and musically.

    T.... X....

    @Atomos_Indigo78 👍 Okay It will be worth looking for it then🤘

    T.... X....

    @erick olachea Great EP btw. Enjoy.

  83. M.... ....

    King Diamond's voice sure did change

  84. W.... P....

    O melhor álbum do slayer do começo ao fim

  85. C.... ....

    Did Hall and Oates really write The Antichrist? Is that just a mistake on youtube's part?

  86. C.... L....

    Face the Slayer\ Metal Storm is so fucking Awesome. It still gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it!!!

  87. R.... &....

    1. Evil Has No Boundaries


    [Lyrics - Hanneman, King; Music - King]

    Blasting our way through the boundaries of Hell
    No one can stop us tonight
    We take on the world with hatred inside
    Mayhem the reason we fight
    Surviving the slaughters and killing we've lost
    Then we return from the dead
    Attacking once more now with twice as much strength
    We conquer then move on ahead

    [Chorus:]
    Evil
    My words defy
    Evil
    Has no disguise
    Evil
    Will take your soul
    Evil
    My wrath unfolds

    Satan our master in evil mayhem
    Guides us with every first step
    Our axes are growing with power and fury
    Soon there'll be nothingness left
    Midnight has come and the leathers strapped on
    Evil is at our command
    We clash with God's angel and conquer new souls
    Consuming all that we can

    [Chorus]


    2. The Antichrist


    [Lyrics - Hanneman; Music - Hanneman, King]

    Screams and nightmares
    Of a life I want
    Can't see living this lie no
    A world I haunt
    You've lost all control of my
    Heart and soul
    Satan holds my future
    Watch it unfold

    I am the Antichrist
    It's what I was meant to be
    Your God left me behind
    And set my soul to be free

    Watching disciples
    Of the satanic rule
    Pentagram of blood
    Holds the jackal's truth
    Searching for the answer
    Christ hasn't come
    Awaiting the final moment
    The birth of Satan's son

    Screams,
    From a life I live
    Torment,
    Is what I give
    Torture,
    Is what I love
    The down fall,
    Of the heavens above

    I am the Antichrist
    All love is lost
    Insanity is what I am
    Eternally my soul will rot (rot... rot)


    3. Die By The Sword


    [Lyrics - Hanneman; Music - Hanneman]

    Live by the sword and help to contain
    The helpless minds of you all
    Die by my hand in pools of blood
    Clutch yourself as you fall
    Mindless tyranny, forgotten victims
    Children slaughtered in vain
    Raping the maids, in which they serve
    Only the words of the Lord

    Die by the sword
    Die by the sword

    Satan watches all of us
    Smiles as some do his bidding
    Try to escape the grasp of my hand
    And your life will no longer exist
    Hear our cry, save us from
    The Hell in which we live
    We turn our heads toward the sky
    And listen for the steel

    Die by the sword
    Die by the sword

    Watch as flowers decay
    On (the) cryptic life that died
    The wisdom of the wizards
    Is only a neurtured lie
    Black knights of Hell's domain
    Walk upon the dead
    Satanas sits upon
    The blood on which he feeds

    Die by the sword
    Die by the sword


    4. Fight Till Death


    [Lyrics - Hanneman; Music - Hanneman]

    Metal and men clash once more to the end
    Warriors above with the power to kill descend
    Militia of blood troops of hate march to die
    Soldiers of Hell veterans of death arise

    [Chorus:]
    Prepare for attack
    Your body will burn
    Endless war
    There's no return
    Prepare for attack
    Death will arrive
    Your orders are clear
    No way to hide
    Fight till death

    Senseless death of all mankind overtakes
    Armored assassins destroy at will your escape
    Children of sorrow are trampled into the grave
    There is no future no (fucking) world to (be) save(d).

    [Chorus]

    (To reign in Hell)

    Gods of steel unleash their destruction on man
    Reign of death what is the final command
    Sceptors of hate are dropped upon this Earth
    Clouds of terror destroy all hope of rebirth

    [Chorus]

    Fight till death [x3]


    5. Face The Slayer


    [Lyrics - King; Music - Hanneman, King]

    A misty night, a perfect night
    Beneath the cold of the frozen star
    You feel the fright, you know I'm near
    You never should have come this far
    I am alive, you can't kill me
    I will survive eternity

    Go through the fire walk past the dead
    Lost in my eternal maze
    Your heart pounds through the mist filled air
    Your concentration breaks for me to strike
    You've cowered down, you've broken the chain
    Now I can freeze your burning eyes

    You see me lift the axe, (as) it plunges through your shield
    You now begin to panic as you see your chances grow slim
    Your running through the endless maze
    (You) Turn and I'll be there
    A force too strong for you to fight
    Your end I'll see tonight ("I'll see your end tonight")

    You think you can destroy (me)? You'd better think again
    I am eternal terror my quest will never end
    I'll trap you in the pentagram
    And seal your battered tomb
    Your life is just another game
    For Satan's night of doom


    6. Black Magic


    [Lyrics - King; Music - Hanneman, King]

    Cursed
    Black magic night
    We've been struck down
    Down in this Hell
    Spells surround me day and night
    Stricken by the force of evil light
    The force of evil light

    Cast
    Under his spell
    Blinding my eyes
    Twisting my mind
    Fight to resist the evil inside
    Captive of a force of Satan's might
    A force of Satan's might

    Fighting the curse
    Break it I must
    Laughing in sorrow
    Crying in lust

    My strength slips fast
    Soon I must fall
    Victim of fortune
    My sources grow small
    Life slips away
    As demons come forth
    Death takes my hand
    And captures my soul


    7. Tormentor


    [Lyrics - Hanneman; Music - Hanneman]

    Afraid to walk the streets
    In the coldness all alone
    The blackness of the night
    Engulfs your flesh and bones
    Hoping for relief
    From the fear you feel inside
    Losing all perspective
    Of reality in the night

    [Chorus:]
    Running from shadows
    Blinded by fear
    The horror of nightfall
    Is ever so near
    I slowly surround you
    As terror sets in
    Are you afraid of the night

    I see the fright in your eyes
    As you turn and run
    But is your mind playing tricks
    On a body so very young
    Feeling as if no one cares
    The fear runs down your spine
    But I know I'll never rest
    Until I know you're mine

    [Chorus]

    Afraid to walk the streets
    In the coldness all alone
    The blackness of the night
    Engulfs your flesh and bones
    Feeling as if no one cares
    The fear runs down your spine
    But I know I'll never rest
    Until I know you're mine
    I know you're mine
    Too late to hide
    Too late to save your life
    Tormentor


    8. The Final Command


    [Lyrics - King; Music - Hanneman, King]

    Screams of terror across the sea
    Begging for mercy in their one final plea
    Soldiers prepare to fight to the death
    Fighting and killing to their very last breath
    Blitzkrieg tactics of the German command
    Born with the power of God in his hand
    He makes his move to conquer the land
    Turning all hopes of life to sand

    [Chorus:]
    Machine gun fire, blood level higher
    Visions of torture and terror to all
    Ready for battle awaiting the final command

    Hiding in darkness from enemies unseen
    Awaiting our victory ending his dream
    Cursed are the souls who defy his will
    All of which are tortured and ruthlessly killed
    Blitzkrieg tactics of the German command
    Born with the power of God in his hand
    Shocking the world with his mass devastation
    He puts all his power in the trust of one nation

    [Chorus]

    At the crack of dawn they storm again
    Hunting, fighting and killing all men
    The end is near our time now short
    Our kingdoms have fallen as a result of his sport
    Blitzkrieg tactics of the German command
    Born with the power of God in his hand
    Withdrawn from fighting he now takes his leave
    Seeking out goals that can't be conceived

    [Chorus]


    9. Crionics


    [Lyrics - Hanneman, King; Music - Hanneman, King]

    Eyes upon me
    Watching me in my perpetual sleep
    Dreams deceive me
    My future depends on a mindless dream
    I've fallen from promises
    Damned to take risks on my own
    The masterful science that freezes your
    Mind and your soul
    The wretched dream is realized
    The human race is to be crystallized

    Thoughts of laughter
    Filling the head of the master in charge.
    Worlds of wonder
    Is this a cure or a painless death
    I'll fight and resist
    Till they all see the end that is near
    The doctors the lawers and G-men
    Are living in fear
    Living my life with one distant hope
    A cure that will kill my invincible foe


    10. Show No Mercy


    [Lyrics - King; Music - King]

    Through the night we rise in pairs
    Lords at night we ride
    From the depths of Hell's domain
    Reborn to reign this night
    Roam throughout the endless wars
    Hold high his name we must
    Warriors from the gates of Hell
    In Lord Satan we trust

    [Chorus]
    Stalking the night can't you feel I'm near
    Watching each step that you take
    I take lives and show all no mercy this night
    Attack those not knowing my force ("...their fate") [1:st & 3:rd time]

    Brothers of the Prince of Night
    By bargains we have made
    Allies with the darkened souls
    Our legions we must save
    Fight for our eternal quest
    God can't save you in time
    Evil stalks the night with us
    Your soul it shall be mine

    [Chorus]

    I am the menace in your eyes
    The one you can't escape
    Your life falls in my grasp
    Your know your end is near
    You pray your God will help
    His strength no match for mine
    Your last hope slips away
    Thy soul begins to bleed
    I tear your flesh to shreds
    Burn holes throughout your mind
    Your eyes now filled with blood
    A victim of my force
    In endless agony
    You realize your defeat
    Recite my Master's chants
    Your soul now his to keep
