Slayer ? Silent Scream

Nightmare, the persecution
A child's dream of death.

Torment ill forgotten
A soul that will never rest.

Guidance it means nothing
In a world of brutal time.


Electric, circus, wild,
Deep in the infants mind.

Silent scream
Bury the unwanted child
Beaten and torn
Sacrifice the unborn.

Shattered, adolescent
Bearer of no name.

Restrained, insane games
Suffer the children condemned.

Scattered, remnants of life,
Murder a time to die.

Pain, sufferaged (sic) toyed,
Life's little fragments destroyed.

Silent scream
Crucify the ***** son
Beaten and torn
Sanctity of lives scorn

Life preordained
Humanity maintained.
Extraction termination
Pains agonizing stain.

Embryonic death,
Embedded in your brain
Suffocation, strangulation,
Death is fucking you insane.

Nightmare the persecution
A child's dream of death.

Torment, ill forgotten
A soul that will never rest.
Innocence withdrawn in fear.
Fires burning can you hear
Cries in the night.


Slayer. South of Heaven, 1988. Lyrics: Araya
