Slayer
Hardening of the Arteries
[Verse 1]
Fear runs wild in the veins of the world
The hate turns the skies jet black
Death is assured in future plans
Why live if there's nothing there?

[Pre-Chorus]
Specters of doom await the moment
The mallet is sure and precise
Cover the crypts of all mankind
With cloven hoof begone

[Chorus]
Sadistic minds
Delay the death
Of twisted life
Malicious world

[Verse 2]
The crippled youth try in dismay
To sabotage the carcass Earth
All new life must perish below
Existence now is futile

[Pre-Chorus]
Decrepit breath
Vile in its stench
A world in decay
Transgressor is as one
[Chorus]
Sadistic minds
Delay the death
Of twisted life
Malicious world

[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]

[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]

[Bridge]
Convulsions take the world in hand
Paralysis destroys
Nobody's out there to save us
Brutal seizure, now we die

[Chorus]
Sadistic minds
Delay the death
Of twisted life
Malicious world
