[Verse 1]
Body that rest before me
With every dying breath
Spellbound and gagged
I commence your flesh to dirt

[Verse 2]
Body that lay before me
In everlasting death
Entombed in an abscess
To rot and lie stinking in the earth

[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]

[Verse 3]
Empty altar awaits its victim
Stained glass windows black
Candles burn the midnight oil
Incense fills the night
Observing trance-awaking state
Lying still unknowing
Reciting the passages of time
Prepare for the impaling

[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]
[Verse 4]
Death's an art, flesh and earth never part
A power of the mind
Death shines on the air of silence
A ritual of endless time
Purged of your dead body
Sacrificed of your life
Unearthly ritual sealed in fire
Enter the kingdom of desire

[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]
