Born Of Fire Lyrics
Slayer
Join in my quest to leave life overturned
Spanning the world wave of doom
Spewing out death with the evil Ive churned
Awaken the dead from their tomb
Love turns to lust the sensations Ive felt
Exploring the pleasures of sin
Making the bast of the cards Ive been dealt
Adjusting the odds so I win
Unleash all my burning wrath
Potential killing machine
Take down all who block my path
Enjoying all thats obscene... born of fire
Prince of all darkness initiation
Ritually baptized in flames
Next to the throne my abomination
Spreads terror throughout the domain
Master the art that controls the impure
Inherit the infamous keys
Thousands of centuries I will endure
Tyrant of all prophecies
Some have called me satans son
A name I cannot deny
Wielding fury thats second to none
Far too vile to confine... born of fire
All things dead must rise again
When twilights blanket falls
Splattered red youll find my den
Blood dripping from the walls
Dreams born of desire
Shaped and forged within the fire
Twisted, warped, deranged I see
The worlds corrupt insanity
Dreams possess nightmarish figures
Burning cant escape the embers
Lost are those who trust the liar
Satans son Im born of fire
