  • Ancient crown placed on your head
    The hangmen of Prague
    Seven keys to the chamber
    Surrendered to the God

    Hunting
    Fighting
    Killing whore
    Wade through blood
    And spill some more

    Hiding
    Fighting
    Killing whore
    Wade through blood
    And bleed some more

    Golden door submits secrets
    As this nation falls
    Atmosphere of deadly terror
    Subservient to all

    Hunting
    Fighting
    Killing whore
    Wade through blood
    And spill some more

    Hunting
    Fighting
    Killing whore
    Wade through blood
    And bleed some more

    Burning sense of mission
    Assassination
    Symbol of oppression

    Crusade led from exile
    Obliteration
    Sabotaged campaign

    Check resistance from afar
    Planning the death of one
    When the plot is executed
    There will be nowhere to run
    Ramifications will be high
    A price paid in torment
    The end justifies the means
    To hell you will be sent

    The wolf leader now is the stalked
    Expansion state of horror
    Guns echo over the grave
    A thousand fates are sealed
    Murderous power brought to an end
    Only to rise again
    Cold and restless and iron will
    Protectorate of the dead

    A thorough sweep
    Prelude to death
    Secrets kept
    But no one left
    Firing squad
    Begins their work
    Harsh reprisal
    For what you took
    Retribution selective terror
    The stench of death is everywhere
    A severed head
    A floating mass
    Will give me answers to what I ask Writer/s: JEFFERY JOHN HANNEMAN, KERRY KING

  • Danny Vineyard from Venice Beach, CaHey Derek, weren't you in American History X. I think you are my brother. SS-3 was a license plate of RH.
  • David from Lakeland, FlUPDATE...The band may be reffering to 3rd SS Division Totenkopf. The division is famous due to its insignia (an awsome looking skull) and the fact that most of the initial enlisted men were SS-Totenkopfverbände (SS concentration camp guards).
    Forget my comment about the submarine.
  • David from Lakeland, FlSS-3 (Adder) was a Plunger-class submarine, was one of the earliest submarines used by the United States Navy in WWI. Nothing to do with the song, just a bit of info of what they possibly used for the idea of the title.
  • Derrick Vinyard from Venice Beach, CaThat is bullsh*t
