Lyrics

The Antichrist

[Verse 1]

Screams and nightmares

Of a life I want

Can't see living this lie, no

A world I haunt

You've lost all control of my

Heart and soul

Satan holds my future

Watch it unfold

[Chorus]

I am the Antichrist

It's what I was meant to be

Your God left me behind

And set my soul to be free

[Verse 2]

Watching disciples

Of the satanic rule

Pentagram of blood

Holds the jackal's truth

Searching for the answer

Christ hasn't come

Awaiting the final moment

The birth of Satan's son

[Guitar Solo: Kerry King]

[Instrumental Break]

[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]

[Bridge]

Screams!

From a life I live

Torment

Is what I give

Torture!

Is what I love

The downfall

Of heavens above

[Chorus]

I am the Antichrist

All love is lost

Insanity is what I am

Eternally, my soul will rot

Rot, rot
