Lyrics

Criminally Insane

[Produced by Rick Rubin] [Chorus] Night will come, and I will follow For my victims, no tomorrow Make it fast, your time of sorrow On his trail, I'll make you follow [Verse 1] Quarters for the criminally insane The sentence read, for life, I must remain The path I chose has led me to my grave To try again, I'd have no other way [Verse 2] Quarters for the criminally insane Escape, for me, has fast become a game Soon to be, I'll leave without a trace Endangered species, end the human race [Guitar Solo: Kerry King] [Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman] [Bridge] Branded in pain, marked criminally insane Locked away and kept restrained Disapprobation, but what have I done I have yet only just begun to take your fuckin' lives [Chorus] Night will come, and I will follow For my victims, no tomorrow Make it fast, your time of sorrow On his trail, I'll make you follow
