Lyrics

When the Stillness Comes

2015

Written by Kerry King, Tom Araya

Produced by Terry Date

Lyrics

When the Stillness Comes

Blood looks like paste on the wall Bodies lay lifeless like dolls A moment that felt like days Lives extinct with inner rage Noxious, I don't realize Incessantly making up lies In a moment of visceral hate The last thing you see on my grave Eyes The last thing you'll see are my eyes Beneath your facade Panic, you scream for your god No way out, ever abstain Blood falls from the ceiling like rain Patiently unleash my violence In (?) with sounds of your silence In darkness this feeling I love To be covered in blood Blood from above This violence finally sets me free Brings demons back to torture me There's no god pulling at my strings I'm above all sorrow that fate can bring Disengaged, I see your face I turn and rush, I can't replace Hands around your neck, your senses numb Staring into your eyes When the stillness comes
