Slayer - Serenity in Murder Lyrics

Let me take you down without a sound
Dead before you hit the ground
Blood washes my hand can't understand
Sterilizing my pain

Wash away with crimson tide
By my hand I keep testing time
Quench the fire that drives my soul
Soothing me as death takes hold

Peaceful and serene slowly bleeding
Eyes once bright are now fading
Pallid ashen face against my skin
Staring blindly at some distant place

Washed away by crimson tide
By my hand I keep testing time
Straight flesh lace adorns your neck
Spilling your blood all over my flesh

Quench the fire that drives my soul
Soothing me as death takes hold
Divine godsend enveloping me
Spiritual ecstasy, sets me free

  this song is about how the signer would like to have a person die in his arms. Not matter how violent the death of someone was. They always look serene when they are dead. Basicly this is what this song is about.

  I think of Vampires, when I here this song. It is my favorite on this album. I love the way it is sung verse by verse and the power of the chorus is a great punch to the song. Divine Intervention is my 3rd favorite Slayer album. SoH #1 SitA #2
