Lyrics

Reborn

[Verse 1]

Convicted witch, my life will end

At midnight on the stake

My dedicated life was spent

To insubordinate

Secured, by lock, inside a cell

Imprisoned for no crime

These shackles will be useless

When your life is out of time

[Chorus]

Incantation spell gone by

I'll see life again

My deals were made eternally

I signed the book of red

My rage will be unleashed again

Burning the next morn

Death means nothing, there's no end

I will be reborn

[Verse 2]

No gift of exile in my fate

I'll get no amnesty

I can't control my destiny

There is no habitual need

Proclaim my death, to end my wrath

It takes more than one try

Indulge your ineffective curse

I will never die

[Chorus]

You think by killing me tonight

My powers will not rise

There'll be nowhere for you to run

When hatred comes to life

Condemned to fill the prophecy

Allowing no firstborn

Defy your morbid declaration

Leave you ripped and torn

[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]

[Verse 3]

Count your blessings, would-be priest

As I burn upon the stake

You'd be forgiven endlessly

But your values are all fake

Forever servant of my Lord

By choice and not submission

Maybe now I've made you wonder

Am I superstition?

[Chorus]

Incantation spell gone by

I will live again

My deals were made eternally

I signed the book in red

My rage will be unleashed again

And burning the next morn

Death means nothing, there's no end

I will be reborn

[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]
