Lyrics

Show No Mercy

[Verse 1]

Through the night, we rise in pairs

Lords of night, we ride

From the depths of Hell's domain

Reborn to reign this night

Roam throughout the endless wars

Hold high his name, we must

Warriors from the gates of Hell

In Lord Satan, we trust

[Chorus]

Stalking the night, can't you feel I am near?

Watching each step that you take

I take lives and show all no mercy this night

Attack those not knowing their fates

[Verse 2]

Brothers of the prince of night

By bargains we have made

Allies with the darkened souls

Our legions we must save

Fight for our eternal quest

God can't save you in time

Evil stalks the night with us

Your soul, it shall be mine

[Chorus]

Stalking the night, can't you feel I am near?

Watching each step that you take

I take lives and show all no mercy this night

Attack those not knowing my force

[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]

[Bridge]

I am the menace in your eyes

The one you can't escape

Your life falls in my grasp

You know your end is near

You pray your God will help

His strength, no match for mine

Your last hope slips away

Thy soul begins to bleed

I tear your flesh to shreds

Burn holes throughout your mind

Your eyes now filled with blood

A victim of my force

In endless agony

You realize your defeat

Recite my master's chants

Your soul now his to keep

[Chorus]

Stalking the night, can't you feel I am near?

Watching each step that you take

I take lives and show all no mercy this night

Attack those not knowing their fates
