South of Heaven

Lyrics

[Intro] An unforeseen future nestled somewhere in time Unsuspecting victims, no warnings, no signs Judgment Day, the Second Coming arrives Before you see the light, you must die [Verse 1] Forgotten children conform a new faith Avidity and lust controlled by hate The never-ending search for your shattered sanity Souls of damnation in their own reality [Refrain] Chaos rampant in an age of distrust Confrontations, impulsive habitat [Verse 2] Bastard sons begat your cunting daughters Promiscuous mothers with your incestuous fathers Ingrate souls condemned for all eternity Obtained by immoral observance, a domineering deity [Refrain] Chaos rampant in an age of distrust Confrontations, impulsive sabbath [Chorus] On and on, south of heaven On and on, south of heaven On and on, south of heaven On and on, south of heaven [Guitar Solo: Kerry King] [Verse 3] The root of all evil is the heart of a black soul A force that has lived all eternity The never-ending search for a truth never told The loss of all hope and your dignity [Refrain] Chaos rampant in an age of distrust Confrontations, impulsive habitat [Chorus] On and on, south of heaven On and on, south of heaven On and on, south of heaven On and on, south of heaven [Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]
