About This Track

'SS-3' by Slayer is a 1994 track from the album 'Divine Intervention '. Its lyrics cast a grim, militaristic vision in which domination, execution and slaughter are treated as compulsive routine, with a repeated refrain of hunting, fighting, killing, and wading through blood. One image that stands out is the “Ancient crown” placed on the head, alongside the spectre of a hangman and the idea of surrender to a god. The effect is confrontational and ritualised, turning violence into something almost ceremonial.

"SS-3" is a track by Slayer, from the album Divine Intervention , released 27th September 1994. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Slayer.

Lyrics

SS-3

[Verse 1]

Ancient crown placed on your head

The hangman of Prague

Seven keys to the chamber

Surrendered to the God

[Chorus]

Hunting, fighting, killing whore

Wade through blood and bleed some more

Hunting, fighting, killing whore

Wade through blood and bleed some more

[Verse 2]

Golden door submits secrets

As this nation falls

Atmosphere of deadly terror

Subservient to all

[Chorus]

Hunting, fighting, killing whore

Wade through blood and bleed some more

Hunting, fighting, killing whore

Wade through blood and bleed some more

[Bridge]

Burning sense of mission

Assassination

Symbol of oppression

[Verse 4]

Crusade led from exile

Obliteration

Sabotaged campaign

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]

Czech resistance from afar

Planning the death of one

When the plot is executed

There will be nowhere to run

Ramifications will be high

A price paid in torment

The end justifies the means

To hell you will be sent

[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]

[Verse 6]

The wolf leader now is the stalked

Expansion state of horror

Guns echo over the grave

A thousand fates are sealed

Murderous power brought to an end

Only to rise again

Cold and ruthless and iron will

Protectorate of the dead

[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]

[Verse 7]

A thorough sweep prelude to death

Secrets kept but no one left

Firing squad begins their work

Harsh reprisal for what you took

Retribution selective terror

The stench of death is everywhere

A severed head, a floating mass

Will give me the answers to what I ask
