Lyrics: Slayer - Seasons In The Abyss

Remember hearing this back in the early 90s when I lived in the middle of nowhere in Lincolnshire.

Wasn't until quite a bit later that I started to find this song made me think of Odin. Must be the grim, visceeral nature of it and all the talk of death and insanity.

Anyhow, enjoy...





"Seasons In The Abyss"


[Hanneman/Araya]

Razors edge
Outlines the dead
Incisions in my head
Anticipation the stimulation
To kill the exhilaration

[CHORUS]
Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself
And let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die

[CHORUS 2]
Close your eyes
And forget your name
Step outside yourself
And let your thoughts drain
As you go insane... go insane

Innate seed
To watch you bleed
A demanding physical need
Desecrated eviscerated
Time perpetuated

[CHORUS]

[CHORUS 2]

Inert flesh
A bloody tomb
A decorated splatter brightens the room
An execution a sadist ritual
Mad intervals of mind residuals

[CHORUS]

[CHORUS 2]
