  • Welcome to my world
    Involve yourself within my dream
    Experience a life
    Just like your mind thought not to be
    Take a look through time
    As past or present words to be
    I rule this inferno
    Enthroned for eternity

    [Chorus]
    Coils of the serpent unwind
    Buried beneath you will find
    Deep in the halls of the damned
    Spirit in black to the end

    Spirits damned to rot
    Amidst the brimstone fireballs
    Eyes of the dead
    Watching from their living walls
    Broken glass reflections
    Show your flesh eaten away
    Beyond the gates I 'll take you
    Where the blood forever rains

    [Chorus]

    Afterlife confessions
    Tell me who you used to be
    Looking on in wonder
    As I show you it was me
    Burning from within
    You know one spark is all it takes
    Hear the piercing cries of all
    Who found that hell awaits

    Living nightmare can't you see
    You really have no choice
    Faded memories haunt you
    Listen clearly to my voice
    Feed me all your hatred
    Empty all your thoughts to me
    I can fill your emptiness
    With immortality

    Welcome to my world
    Involve yourself within my dream
    Experience a life just like your mind thought not to be
    Take a look through time
    As past or present worlds to be
    I rule this inferno
    Enthroned for eternity Writer/s: JEFFERY JOHN HANNEMAN, KERRY KING

  • Austin from Bristow, VaCome to think of it, this song kinda mirrors the dark side of the Force from Star Wars. Not trying to sound like a Sci Fi geek, just noticed some key similariies.
  • Joel from Austin, TxSounds like the apocolypse
  • Jeff from Austin, TxGreat song! But then again, pretty much any pre-1993 Slayer is awesome.
