(Lyrics: Hanneman, Araya; Music: Hanneman)
Terrorize frozen eyes stare deep in me
Paralyzed inside death breeds on your pain
Pretty lace lie in hate you wear my scars
Terrified you find that you push me too far
Your repulsiveness reminds me of dead flesh
Rotting corpse the smell of your putrid fucking soul
Petrified that I decide the moment of your death
Belongs to me the taste is sweet it's so unreal
Your God weeps, it bleeds, it begs for me
God is letting you recover
[Lead - Hanneman]
Welcome to my Black Serenade
The entrance to my hell your pain
Scream your song the Black Serenade
Live in fear a mind insane
Voice inside my head
Your face still shows itself to me
Telling me you're dead
Staring at your lifeless body
I saw you fucking die
My mind's tearing itself apart
Screaming from the inside
Release this pain from my fucking heart
Destroy the empty shell
Smash away the haunting fear
I hate your endless stare
Watching as I fuck your corpse
Welcome to my Black Serenade
The entrance to my hell your pain
Walk on through a tortured mind
You'll scream your song in time
Welcome to my Black Serenade
The entrance to my hell your pain
Flesh is burnt the Black Serenade
Live in fear no coming back
[Lead - King]
Welcome to my Black Serenade
The entrance to my hell your pain
Walk on through a tortured mind
You'll scream your song in time
Welcome to my Black Serenade
The entrance to my hell your pain
Flesh is burnt the Black Serenade
Live in fear death is back
