Bloodline
Slayer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eternal the kiss I breath
Siphon your blood to me
Feel my wounds of your god
Forever rape mortality
I smell of death
I reek of hate
I will live forever
Lost child pay the dead
Bleeding screams of silence
In my veins your eternity

I'll kill you and your dreams tonight
Begin new life
Bleed your death upon me
Let your bloodline feed my youth

First breath born come alive learn to kill
Blood-fest awaits to feed your hunger
Dark side has no rival test your faith in blood
Night hides the hunting packs a feeding frenzy

I'll kill you and your dreams tonight
Begin new life
Bleed your death upon me
Let your bloodline feed my youth

I am the first not the last
Condemned by a single kiss
Betrayed eternally I'll rip inside your soul
Contaminating the world
Defying god and son
Black heart that brings your death
Living in infamy

Drink the flesh of life itself
Prepare to reign a thousand years

I'll kill you and your dreams tonight
Begin new life
Bleed your death upon me
Let your bloodline feed my youth

Blame god chosen children
As you die I'm immortal
Faithless no religion
Stalking prey is my confession
Captive blood enslavement
Pain and hunger drives your madness




Drink flesh life itself
Prepare to reign a thousand years

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Slayer's "Bloodline" explore themes of immortality, violence, and bloodlust. The song seems to be written from the perspective of a vampire, who is brutal and unrelenting in his quest for eternal life. The opening lines of the song, "Eternal the kiss I breathe / Siphon your blood to me / Feel my wounds of your god / Forever rape mortality", suggest that the vampire believes he is taking power and life from his victims, who are unable to defend themselves against his might. He revels in the sensations of death and destruction, proclaiming that he "smells of death" and "reeks of hate".


As the song progresses, the vampire seeks out new prey, and urges them to embrace their dark side in order to survive in a world of predators. The lyrics "First breath born come alive learn to kill / Blood-fest awaits to feed your hunger / Dark side has no rival test your faith in blood / Night hides the hunting packs a feeding frenzy" illustrate the vampire's philosophy, which is one of power and domination. He believes that those who are weak will inevitably fall prey to their own mortality, and that only the strong will survive.


The song concludes with a chilling warning to those who would oppose the vampire: "Blame god chosen children / As you die I'm immortal / Faithless no religion / Stalking prey is my confession / Captive blood enslavement / Pain and hunger drives your madness / Drink flesh life itself / Prepare to reign a thousand years." Here, the vampire asserts his dominance over all who would stand against him, and proclaims himself to be the ultimate arbiter of life and death.

Rob Scallon I like what you and Sarah did with this..

Your room was way better

@Undead_Logic

Agreed Rob. It has been one my favorite metal videos for over the past 15 years. Eviseration Plague by Cannibal Corpse would be a fun video to parady as well, as a suggestion.
