At Dawn They Sleep
Awakened I have becomeLight now slips awayManipulate your mindDarkness is my slave
Taste the sins of HellThe blood that I so craveThe last thing that you seeIs the hunger in my eyes
[Chorus]Blood sucking creatures of the nightNocturnal spectre hiding from the lightCries screaming out every frightEagerly awaiting plightApparitions from the pits of HellDeath plagues the streets in which they dwellDemented lust, the secrets they must keepAddicted to your bloodAt dawn they sleep
Unveil the hidden coffinLift the lid of terrorFeel the deadly coldFreeze you from inside
Perceiving your intentionsTo slay the phantom formRaise the stake in maliceYou cannot plunge it down
[Chorus]
[Lead - King, Hanneman]
Beware the image unseenStalks your soulYour corpse's redeem
Eternal damnation you just rewardA servant of our LordBy your accord
Admonish of the cruciformImpalementImmortality's scorned
Rise hold fast your faithTo lie dormantIs certain Death
(Driven by the instinct of centuries of horrorImplanted along the brain of the sickening parasiteLinked together by one traitThe Hell-filled need to kill... kill... kill... kill... KILL)
Emerging from their Hellish tombTaking flight amidst the nightThe evening skies are raining Death
Swooping down from shadowed skiesTaking simple human formShed their wings to stalk the mortal man
Lock their jaws into your veinsSatanic soldiers strike their preyLeaving corpses waiting for the change
Blood dripping from the jaws of DeathNot enough to satisfyThey must drain your soul of life
