The song, like “Cult” is a reference to christian fundamentalism and the evils and let-downs of it. It was on the Christ Illusion album, which had an anti-religious undertone. Unlike previous slayer albums, it mainly dealt with religious extremism, in Skeleton christ as well as “Cult” and “Jihad.”
Skeleton Christ Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Unbound, God's creation
Has grown into the sinner
Abandoned innocence
Impenitent transgressor
Escape mortality
They say your life can change
If you take God's hand
Embrace rebirth
Your cleansing's so divine
To be reborn in God's eyes
[Chorus 1]
You'll never touch God's hand
You'll never taste God's breath
Because you'll never see the Second Coming
Life's too short to be focused on insanity
I've seen the ways of God
I'll take the devil any day
Hail Satan
[Lead – King]
[Verse 2]
Your faith has atrophied
And rots in hell's asylum
Despondence tears you down
A free-falling social stain
Escape atrocity
They say your life can change
If you take God's hand
Embrace rebirth
Your cleansing's so divine
To be reborn to God's lies
[Chorus 2]
You'll never touch God's hand
You'll never taste God's breath
Because you'll never see the Second Coming
It's all a fuckin' mockery
No grasp upon reality
It's mind control for
Compulsory religion and the Skeleton Christ
[Chorus 3]
You'll never touch God's hand
You'll never taste God's breath
Because you'll never see the Second Coming
I laugh at the abortion known as Christianity
I've seen the ways of God
I'll take the devil any day
Hail Satan
[Lead – King]
[Chorus 2]
You'll never touch God's hand
You'll never taste God's breath
Because you'll never see the Second Coming
It's all a fuckin' mockery
No grasp upon reality
It's mind control for compulsory religion
Mind control for compulsory religion
Mind control for compulsory religion and the Skeleton Christ
[Lead – Hanneman]
