SLAYER LYRICS

1. The Slayer

The mist is thick upon the ground the moon is high, the air is cold.
The village sleeping unaware The Slayer cleans his sword of gold.
The time is right for him to strike to soil his golden blade once more.
His evil eyes are watchful now and soon the scarlet blood will pour

Death has come to you tonight you've caught The Slayer's eye.
The only thing you can do is fight but still you're going to die.

Upon the hill a silhouette a giant form in flowing cape.
He's getting ready for the kill he's got no need to steal or rape
The only thing he loves is death to sever limbs and hear the screams
Of terror as his victims run he brings the sleep that's void of dreams.

The dust has settled on the ground the village sleeps but will not wake.
In triumph now The Slayer laughs and gazes on a scarlet lake.
The mist will fall again tonight and in the darkness quiet and still,
The Slayer waits and cleans his sword until the time is right to kill

2. Run Like Hell

The sky grows it is night time in the forest the people sleep as the forest comes to life.
Something stirs there is movement in the twilight please beware there is danger in the night.
Nobody ever survived you better run for your life nothing can save you but speed, don't you be foolish I plead.
You didn't carry a gun, all I can tell you is run fast as a Jaguar at least you got to hide from the beast.

You're all alone as you wander through the darkness your sixth sense telling you there's something very wrong.
A few more steps and you hear something behind you should you turn around and look or should you run?
Run from the beast now.
Your mind is racing, your heart is pumping faster your legs are aching, your lungs are racked with pain.
Don't you stop now, you must escape the danger run like hell or you'll never run again run like hell.

3. Blind Terror

Wrapped up tight in blackest black no sense of place or time.
Feeling my way around a world where the sun has ceased to shine.
Something is moving in the dark, I stop and hold my breath.
Frozen as the terror strikes I prepare myself for death.
Blind terror.

Icy fingers round throat I struggle to break free
To no avail I kick and claw if only I could see
Satan's got a hold on me and now he won't let go.
Will I see this nightmare through perhaps I'll never know.
Blind terror

I listen to the sounds from all around me I try my best to find out where I am.
And then I feel an icy wind cut through me it chills my bones and bites my trembling hands
Then suddenly the wind's replaced by fire I hear a distant voice screaming my name.
There's no escape, the fire's all around me the heat is so intense I scream in pain it burns.
Black sky, Midday, Death stalks, I am prey no light can't see can you help me?
Blind terror.

Wrapped up tight in blackest black no sense of touch or sound.
My mind is searching for a hold as it spins round and round.
Suddenly my sight returns I am safe in bed it seems.
I realise that my ordeal was nothing but it dream.
Blind terror was all a crazy dream.
No longer alone in the darkness now that I can see

4. Broken Hearts

There is a hole within my life I've tried my best to mend.
And when you left I really thought I'd lost my only friend.
Now I know that I was wrong, there is no need to cry.
No matter how many tears I shed, I know love is a lie.

I didn't see the truth before. I was blinded by your light.
But now the winds of change have blown and brought me back my sight.
You hurt me for too many years why did you choose this game?
Now my eyes are open, I no longer feel the pain.

Feeling lonely, it was the only problem that I faced.
Okay, you left me, now I will find me someone to take your place.
Someone to take the place of you.

As hours and days turned into years I dreamed that you were there.
The feeling of an empty house was more than I could bear.
Now times have changed and I've learned to face the things I used to fear.
No more will I spend all my days just wishing you were here.
I've broken the chains that held use down I freed myself from you.
My love for you has died and now if s to start anew.
I'll find myself a brand new love and play it by the rules.
No more tears because now I know broken hearts are for fools

5. Man In The Dark

He stands in the gateway his eyes filled with fire
A lust for the dark life a killing desire.
Man in dark bring clown your blade take a life.
Man in the dark give vent to your blood lust tonight.

A seething black hatred that blots out the light.
He raises his arm and brings down a knife.
And cut them down they call it murder where I'm from.
Man in dark bring clown your blade take a life.
Man in the dark give vent to your blood lust tonight.

He watches the stragglers and creeps up behind.
His passion is hatred his hatred is blind
Man in dark bring clown your blade take a life.
Man in the dark give vent to your blood lust tonight.

6. Hammerhead

Look out behind you he is coming you can hear it for miles around
Look out behind you he is coming he's attracted by the sound
Everyone screaming, panic, splashing means the hammerhead is near
People are running from the danger falling blinded by their fear

Hammerhead keeps on swimming.
Hammerhead keep on taking those lives.
Hammerhead, king of the water.
Hammerhead.
In the deep death is lurking for the fools he is waiting.
He will wait until you stray and then he'll strike.
Hammerhead.

Somebody screams out Shark and the bather's blood runs cold.
Everyone rams, but one too slowly and the teeth of death take hold.
See the blood rising, water swirling as the killer takes his prey.
Screams of pain ring through the air as another life slips away.

Down on another beach are people playing games and having fun.
Some of them swimming in the sea and some are soaking up the sun.
None of them realise the danger that is lying there in wait.
None of them realise the danger until he strikes and it's too late.

7. Lady Of The Night

You came to me out of the night you were lonely and cold.
You said you would stay until daylight I could not let you go.
The impression you made on that night has stayed deep in my mind.
I thought I had found what had proved to be so hard to find.

Lady of the night-time come into my room I need you here to lift the gloom.
Please me in a way I've never known before Woman from the darkness take me I am yours.
I want you Dark lady.

Lady of the night-time stole my heart away I pray you're here with me to stay.
I've seen all I need to see to make me care Lady of the night please promise you'll be there.
When I need you Woman My lady of the night You haunt my night and days I need you. Woman I want you.

Darkness never was a friend to me before.
But since you came to me, I'm really not so sure.
No time can thrill me like the night-time can.
Lady of the night please take me for your man
Because I love you Lady of the night.
