[Verse 1]
Surrender your cloth and collar, priest
There's no need for your beliefs in war
This is a place for heathens
Into that darkness, fires illuminate
Grotesquely swollen by the heat
A half-burned corpse hanging naked
A stream is poisoned by the dead
In the ghostly light, debris of war
[Refrain]
Lead us to the brink of extinction
The time has come for you now to finish it
[Chorus]
What has man become — a funeral pyre
Now that judgment's near, prepare to die
Need to suffer, lust for power, mindless hunger, never win
Final six is here, the cycle ends
[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]
[Verse 2]
I have come for you, my child
And the gift I bring is murder
Sumerian death on eastern winds
Face the father of your terror
Godless warheads wait to breathe
Set their sights on history
Distant silhouettes of the dead
Blackened faces through the ashes
[Refrain]
Lead us to the brink of extinction
The time has come for you now to finish it
[Chorus]
What has man become — a funeral pyre
Now that judgment's near, prepare to die
Need to suffer, lust for power, mindless hunger, never win
Final six is here, the cycle ends
[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]
[Verse 3]
Mankind owes his pain to hell
As he brings the end upon himself
Arms rising from the ashes
In the ghastly light of human flares
Berith soldiers capture souls
Shadows of human sacrifice
The return of everything that's dead
A cryptic promise from the heavens
[Refrain]
Lead us to the brink of extinction
The time has come for you now to finish it
[Outro]
Dead flowers from a faceless head
A city engulfed by the smell of death
Bodies piled beneath the mist
Walking dead among the living
The world will bleed while horsemen ride
Now that God has wept for Judas
Days are numbered, find your grave
Forever trying to escape to hell
