Silent Scream

Slayer

6

(Lyrics: Araya; Music: Hanneman, King)

Nightmare, the persecution

A child's dream of death.

Torment, ill forgotten

A soul that will never rest.

Guidance, it means nothing

In a world of brutal time.

Electric, circus, wild,

Deep in the infants mind.

Silent Scream

Bury the unwanted child.

Beaten and torn

Sacrifice the unborn.

Shattered, adolescent [sings: another child]

Bearer of no name.

Restrained, insane games

Suffer the children condemned.

Scattered, remnants of life,

Murder a time to die.

Pain, sufferaged toyed,

Life's little fragments destroyed.

Silent Scream

Crucify the bastard son.

Beaten and torn

Sanctify lives of scorn.

LEAD: KING

HANNEMAN

Life preordained

Humanity maintained.

Extraction termination

Pain's agonizing stain.

Embryonic death,

Embedded in your brain.

Suffocation, strangulation,

Death is fucking you insane.

Nightmare, the persecution

A child's dream of death.

Torment, ill forgotten

A soul that will never rest.

Innocence withdrawn in fear.

Fires burning can you hear

Cries in the night.
