[Verse 1]
Use the need, lose control
Hidden voice inviting
Imposing will, unconscious skill
Embraced immoral passion
Born in still, thirst for thrill
Indulgence of illusion
Neurotic, psychotic
Dead silent screams, come alive
[Chorus]
Killing seed, first degree
I shut the world outside
Denied and laid to waste
The body and soul divide
[Verse 2]
A final thrill, a timely kill
Unbound, unguarded
Fantasized, realized
Enforced upon the dying
Free reign of the asylum
Archaic energy thrives
Dead cold, I control
Eternal screams that slowly die
[Chorus]
Killing spree, first degree
I shut the world outside
Denied and laid to waste
The body and soul divide
[Post-Chorus]
Dementia born of sin
A symptom that begins
Vengeance so divine
[Lead: Hanneman/King]
[Bridge]
Lost my grip of what's real
Unrestrained self-induced vertigo
Manic power chills my spine
I can't erase this instinct I embrace
Two-faced moral abandon
Races my blood, boils my skin
Unhinging the doorway to this asylum
Releasing unshackled poison dreams
Beginning the end of temptation
A vengeance so divine
The end of temptation
A vengeance so divine
[Chorus]
Killing spree, first degree
I shut the world outside
Denied and laid to waste
The body and soul divide
[Outro]
Killing spree, first degree
The body and soul divided
Killing spree
