As a brief interlude before the second part of my “why do I listen to the horrible sounding music that I listen to” post (and because the lyric I made up for the earlier post intrigued me…and mostly because I already had the above picture) I thought I’d change a few minor words in one of my favorite Slayer songs to prove that it just wouldn’t quite be the same without good ol Beel Z. Bub.
Without further ado, I give you ALTAR OF SACRIFICE (Radio Edit)!
First, let’s take a look at the original song (since you can never have too much Slayer):
And for reference, here are the original lyrics:
Slayer – Altar of Sacrifice
Waiting the hour destined to die
Here on the table of hell
A figure in white unknown by man
Approaching the altar of death
High priest awaiting dagger in hand
Spilling the pure virgin blood
Satans slaughter, ceremonial death
Answer his every command
Death will come easy just close your eyes –
Dream of the friends youll see
Heavenly failure losing again
Move on to a new form of life
Altar of sacrifice, curse of the damned
Confronting the evil you dread
Coalesce into one your shadow and soul
Soon you will meet the undead
(lead: hanneman)
[altar of sacrifice, curse of the damned
Confronting the evil you dread
Coalesce into one your shadow and soul
Soon you will meet the undead]
Enter to the realm of SATAN!
(lead: hanneman)
Blood turning black, the change has begun
Feeling the hatred of all damned in hell
Flesh starts to burn, twist and deform
Eyes dripping blood realization of death
Transforming of five toes to two
Learn the sacred words of praise, hail SATAN
(lead: hanneman)
A gift of powers disposed upon you
Use them when you feel the need
Master the forces and powers of Satan
Controlling the creatures instinct
Drawn to the castles that float in the sky
Learn to resist the temptation
Watching the angels sift through the heavens
Endlessly search[ing] for salvation
(lead: king)
And here, for the first time in print are the lyrics to Slayers unreleased orginal version, “Bedfull of Kittens”! (I suggest following along while the above song plays!):
Slayer – Bedfull of Kittens (Based on a True Story)
Waiting the hour destined to nap
Here on the bedfull of pillows
Kittens in white, unknown by man
Approaching the soft downy bed
Napper awaiting teddy in hand
Spilling the saucer of milk
Blissful slumber, lollipop dreams
Answer his sleepytime thoughts
Nap will come easy just close your eyes –
Dream of the kittens you’ll pet
Heavenly delights, returning again
Move on to a sweet happy life
Bedfull of kittens, bursting with cuteness
Frolicking with the yarn threads
Caress as one their whiskers and paws
Soon you will pet their soft heads
(lead: hanneman)
Bedfull of kittens, bursting with cuteness
Frolicking with the yarn threads
Caress as one their whiskers and paws
Soon you will pet their soft heads
Enter to the realm of KITTENS!
(lead: hanneman)
Kittens turning frisky, playtime has begun
Feeling their cute little noses
Heart starts to warm, as they twist and perfom
Sleepy eyes opening, realization of playtime
Kneading of five toes on you
Learn the sacred words of praise, hail KITTENS
(lead: hanneman)
A gift of adorableness disposed upon you
Pet them when you feel the need
Master the forces and powers of kittens
Cuteness is the creatures instinct
Drawn to the bed that you nap upon
Hard to resist the temptation
Watching the kittens jump on the covers
Endlessly jumping upon your Toooooeeeessss!
(lead: king)
Yeah, I might have a bit too much time on my hands…and probably take too many naps with kittens.
