Jesus Saves

Reign in Blood is the third studio album and major label debut by the American thrash metal band Slayer. Released on October 7, 1986, the album was the band's first collaboration with record producer Rick Rubin, whose input helped the band's sound evolve. Reign in Blood was very well received by both critics and fans, and was responsible for bringing Slayer to the attention of a mainstream metal audience. Kerrang! magazine described the record as "the heaviest album of all time," and a breakthrough in thrash metal and speed metal.

Reign in Blood's release was delayed because of concerns regarding its graphic artwork and lyrical subject matter. The opening track, "Angel of Death", which refers to Josef Mengele and describes acts committed at the Auschwitz concentration camp, provoked allegations of Nazism.[3] However, the band stated numerous times they do not condone Nazism, and are merely interested in the subject.[4] The album was Slayer's first to enter the Billboard 200; the release peaked at number 94, and was awarded gold certification on November 20, 1992


5. Jesus Saves

[Lyrics - King, Music - Hanneman, King]

You go to the church, you kiss the cross
You will be saved at any cost
You have your own reality
Christianity
You spend your life just kissing ass
A trait that's grown as time has passed
You think the world will end today
You praise the Lord, it's all you say

Jesus saves, listen to you pray
You think you'll see the pearly gates
When death takes you away

For all respect you cannot lust
In an invisible man you place your trust
Indirect dependency
Eternal attempt at amnesty
He will decide who lives and dies
Depopulate Satanas rise
You will be an accessory
Irreverence and blasphemy

[LEAD: KING]

Jesus saves, no need to pray
The gates of pearl have turned to gold
It seems you've lost your way

[LEAD: HANNEMAN]

Jesus saves, no words of praise
No promised land to take you to
There is no other way

[LEAD: KING]

@RykyVance

ur right ;)

i don't really see wrong in megadeth?

[ekinsb]

if you want creepier blackmetal lyrics try Venom or Mercyful Fate

[TheYoSong]

Thats pretty scary, you tell them! Give some thumbs down!

[TheMilfman7]

Thats exactly the way i am. I'm a christian, but i love listening to death, black, doom, cause i love the dismal theme and violent theme.

Oh and if any of you that are gonna beat down, or question my religon, i'll just ignore it, and give you a crap load of thumb downs. So don't even try T__T

[RykyVance]

Well, look trash metal lyrics.

Some groups like Megadeth, Anthrax talk about the world of today, the problems of the society...

Such a great bands :))

[guitarplayerk11]

thank you, i personally think religion is a load of crap and it doesnt do anything but start conflict. if you really think about it look how many wars that have been started by religion. religion has killed more people than its "saved"

[nigerlover18]

The album is produced by a culture that cares about religion very much, how can you be so surpised?

[luico140]

Do these bullshit religious issues in song lyrics make a band heavier, darker ? Can´t get it !

P.D Vocals suck !
