"Relentless lust
Of rotting flesh
To thrash the tomb she lies
Heathen whore
Of Satan's wrath
I spit at your demise"
Never mind 50 Cent, these guys should write Hallmark cards.

there's nothing wrong with this lyric. You people who don't like it just don't like it because you don't enjoy the music, you have your pop(which by the way, you're supposed to out grow when you stop being a 12 year old girl) and we have our metal. Whoever wrote that Slayer's lyrics suck, probably also listens to all that rap and hip-hop shit (you know, those guys that bounce around a stage holding their balls and waving a hand in the air while reciting shitty poetry about drugs, murder, and beating women so they can sound hardcore when for the most part they spend their time smoking pot and playing video games in their 5 million dollar mansions) and everyone knows that its a fact that the only good thing to ever come out of that industry is that sometimes they have their little gang wars (none of which have any good reason) that sometimes (should be more often) some of them get their heads blown off. So stop bashing Slayer's lyrics because they are a huge part of a type of music that actually has some balls, and I'm sure that if they wanted to, they could kick the fuck out of you.

SLAYER RULES and these lyrics rhyme nicely, I was truly offended by watching "The Grudge"

ok I'm a Slayer fan, for sure... but honestly... they can do 10 million times better than this... come on now... they're Slayer... they have the talent to do it. There's no excuse.

I thought it was pretty cool!!!

"Misguided youth of this age pay for this trash!"
Umm...those lyrics are from a 1985 song. While the mainstream "metal" of the time was just partying and sex, the underground metal scene was much more satisfying lyrically and musically. Honestly, if you actually listen to this song it would become clear that the band isn't serious at all about this stuff; it's the musical equivalent of a horror movie.
Also, I'm one of the youth you're talking about, and I'd rather listen to classic Slayer than forgettable Fallout Boy.

Misguided youth? Me?
Pf, it wasn't like I was cracking up when I was reading these lyrics or anything....
It's not that they are bad, really, I just find them incredibly humorous.

Slayer fuckin rules and to all you who are dissing them, knowing Slayer, they got the desired effect. The mainstream is disgusted. Job well done

i have heard worse...ever heard of Deicide??? hell, i have no idea what he is saying but the title of their songs just lets me know what the song is about.
feliciaat 4-11-2008
if these lyrics were on a hallmark card, my jaw would drop to the ground (not literally) and maybe i'll try not to laugh at other's reactions. all that was probably just symbolism of a bad relationship or something. dunno... Slayer is Slayer, period.
feliciaat 4-11-2008
I forgot to mention the "he" i was referring to was the frontman of
Deicide, or whatever the heck that band is. my ex listens to them...

i dont think the slayer lyric was really necessary. after all, its much easier just to have a list of shitty metal lyrics. the only problem with this is that list would takes hours to read.
antithesisofbarbieat 4-17-2008
you stupid pop, rap, rnb fanatics! go back and listen to justin timbo, 50 cent or whoever dumb artist! metal songs' lyrics are way better than your oh-i'm-so-hot-come-and-get-me whatever lyrics!

Slayer kicks ass! Slayer writes awesome lyrics and they are jealous that none of this sissy pop shit doesn't have awesome lyrics.

Great lyric, It's of those lines that shows seperates people...The people who like it are great people...the ones who dont are bitches

Does the name "Edgar Allen Poe" strike any element of recognition within you? I am extraordinarily impressed with Slayer's enviable talent. His writing is exceedingly worthy of comparison to the aforementioned literary genious. Hallmark cards, indeed?!?

Whoever the fuck did this is so fucking dumb,
