Altar of Sacrifice
Slayer Lyrics

Waiting the hour destined to die
Knowing that one's death is inevitable and waiting for it to happen

Here on the table of hell
Referring to the location of the sacrificial altar upon which the sacrifice is to be performed

A figure in white unknown by man
Describing the virgin who is to be sacrificed whose identity is not revealed to the public

Approaching the altar of death
Describing the virgin's movement towards the sacrificial altar where she is going to be killed

High priest awaiting dagger in hand
The priest whose responsibility is to perform the sacrifice is ready with the weapon which he will use to kill the virgin

Spilling the pure virgin blood
Describing the ritual sacrifice based on the belief that the act of sacrificing a virgin will yield some desired outcome or desirable results

Satan's slaughter, ceremonial death
The sacrifice is seen as an offering to Satan as part of worship or reverence for the devil

Answer his every command
Believing in Satan and following his teachings by obeying his commands to achieve power or success

Death will come easy just close your eyes -
Stating that death will be peaceful and painless if one only closes one's eyes and accepts it

Dream of the friends you'll see
Encouraging the idea that death is a transition to meeting loved ones who are already dead

Heavenly failure losing again
Thinking that life is a contest with heaven and that one doesn't succeed when they die

Move on to a new form of life
Believing in rebirth and that death only brings about a new transformation into another living form

Altar of sacrifice, curse of the damned
Referring to the sacrificial altar as a place where demons or evil spirits dwell

Confronting the evil you dread
The ritual of sacrificing a virgin is seen as an opportunity to confront and face one's deepest fears or evil thoughts

Coalesce into one your shadow and soul
Uniting one's inner self with one's darkest thoughts or desires

Soon you will meet the undead
Believing that after death, one will become a member of the undead and will have eternal life in a different form

Enter to the realm of Satan!
Calling for people to follow the path of Satan and enter into a world governed by his doctrines

Blood turning black, the change has begun
Describing the physical transformation that occurs due to Satanic powers

Feeling the hatred of all damned in hell
Experiencing the wrath of evil spirits trapped in hell

Flesh starts to burn, twist and deform
Describing the powerful physical sensations that come with being a follower of Satan

Eyes dripping blood realization of death
Seeing the blood that comes from eyes is an indicator of death and a realization of the transformation taking place

Transforming of five toes to two
Describing the change in physical features that come with being a follower of Satan

Learn the sacred words of praise, hail Satan
Encouraging the learning of Satanic prayers and solely praising Satan as the only deity to be worshipped

A gift of powers disposed upon you
Believing that becoming a follower of Satan grants one special powers or abilities

Use them when you feel the need
Using the Satanic powers whenever one feels is the urge to manifest them

Master the forces and powers of Satan
Achieving full control and ability to manifest the full potential of Satanic powers

Controlling the creature's instinct
Being empowered to control and direct one's primal desires

Drawn to the castles that float in the sky
Being attracted to the mythical world and the riches that are associated with Satanic worship

Learn to resist the temptation
Being warned to resist the allure of the world of Satan to prevent oneself from getting lost in it

Watching the angels sift through the heavens
Contemplating and observing the religious quest for salvation

Endlessly search[ing] for salvation
The never-ending quest to find divine deliverance and safety from the beliefs of Satanism
