The title track of Death’s 1987 debut album is comprised of gruesome lyrics describing the act of a torturous and gory murder (most likely told from the perspective of a slasher film-like villain as slasher film style violence was very prominent in old school death metal).
[Verse 1]
Decapitated head licking your cunt
Sucking all the blood from your stump
Intestinal guts taking their hold
Leaving you dead, stiff and cold
[Pre-Chorus]
Controlling the minds of the bloodthirsty dead
Unholy seizure slicing through your head
Who will survive only time will tell
Dripping from your mouth comes a rancid smell
Lobotomized corpse shredding your flesh
Leaving your body a bloody mess
[Chorus]
Scream bloody gore
Scream bloody gore
[Verse 2]
Inject the reborn terror, the blood comes spurting out
Another to control, add it to your count
Orders to destroy, rip and tear apart
Wishing for the end, your death is just the start
[Pre-Chorus]
Controlling the minds of the bloodthirsty dead
Unholy seizure slicing through your head
Who will survive only time will tell
Dripping from your mouth comes a rancid smell
Lobotomized corpse shredding your flesh
Leaving your body a bloody mess
[Chorus]
Scream bloody gore
Scream bloody gore
[Bridge]
Armies of the dead
Hail their leader's head
Hungry for the flesh
While it's warm and fresh
[Outro]
Through the smoke who will see
Who will come out alive?
Now it's your turn to feel the pain
Now you're going to die
[Guitar Solo]
