Slayer - Skeletons of Society

Lyrics:

Minutes seem like days
Since fire ruled the sky
The rich became the beggars
And the fools became the wise
Memories linger in my brain
Of burning from the acid rain
A pain I never have won

Nothing here remains
No future and no past
No one could foresee
The end that came so fast
Hear the prophet make his guess
That paradise lies to the west
So join his quest for the sun

Shades of death are all I see
Fragments of what used to be

The world slowly decays
Destruction fills my eyes
Harboring the image
Of a spiraling demise
Burning winds release their fury
Simulating judge and jury
Drfiting flurries of pain

Deafening silence reigns
As twilight fills the sky
Eventual supremacy
As daylight waits to die
Darkness always calls my name
A pawn in this recurring game
Humanity going insane

Shades of death are all I see
Skeletons of Society
Shades of death are all I see
Fragments of what use to be
Fragments of what use to be
Skeletons of Society

Minutes seem like days
Corrosion fills the sky
Morbid dreams of anarchy
Brought judgment in disguise
Memories linger in my brain
Life with nothing more to gain
Perpetual madness remains

Shades of death are all I see
Skeletons of Society
Shades of death are all I see
Fragments of what use to be
Fragments of what use to be
Skeletons of Society

Roses are black

Violets are black

I'm blind.

[BestUsernameIGot]

@MrPequeTech Fuck your 9gag.

[dizon96]

@raidersrule1234 thats ur opinion. but you gotta admit, for some reason, Slipknot has a shit-load of fans all over the world. and then all the drama with Paul Gray and Corey saying he doesn't wanna do another album yet makes for a bunch of hype and attention whereas Slayer just keeps kicking ass and being the legends they are.

[raidersrule1234]

@dizon96 thats bull slayers world painted blood or in fact any album will be way better than slipknots new one

[goreziad]

@TrevorYoung52 good one :)

[TrevorYoung52]

My wife asked me who Slayer was.

We are divorced now.

Ha ha ha ha ha, just kidding.

She's Dead

[acm1pt67]

i make a paint like this album for art class

[dizon96]

@raidersrule1234 they're probably headlining since there's rumors about them releasing a new album. still was surprised when I saw Slayer's logo under the knot's.

[jmiester25]

Slipknot?! who the fuck is that?

[raidersrule1234]

in the line up for mayhem fest slipknot is headlining while slayer is co-headlining. this makes no sense what so ever

[artooniana]

who that had pressed dislike should be brought to a court

[iamcocro1123]

@rammymaster5034 but if he is blind then his mistake is justifiable
