Raining Blood Lyrics

Artist: Slayer
Album: Live-Decade Of Aggression

(Lyrics - Haneman, King, Music - Hanneman)

Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquisition

The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone

Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above

Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away

Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure
Now I shall reign in blood!

slipknot is gay and so is nu metal and every core band. I like this song but everyone has it and it isn't even their best song. Still an awesome song
