Slayer - Dead Skin Mask lyrics

(Music: Hanneman / Lyrics: Araya)

[(Spoken:)

How I've waited for you to come

I've been here all alone

Now that you've arrived

Please stay a while

And I promise I won't keep you long

I'll keep you forever]

Graze the skin with my finger tips

The brush of dead cold flesh pacifies [sings "appease"] the means

Provoking images delicate features so smooth

A pleasant fragrance in the light of the moon

Dance with the dead in my dreams

Listen to their hallowed screams

The dead have taken my soul

Temptation's lost all control

Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes

Lose all mind control rationale declines

Empty eyes enslave the creations

Of placid faces and lifeless pageants

In the depths of a mind insane

Fantasy and reality are the same

Graze the skin with my finger tips

The brush of dead warm flesh pacifies the means

Incised members ornaments on my being

Adulating the skin before me

Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes

Lose all mind control rationale declines

Empty eyes enslave the creations

Of placid faces and lifeless pageants

Dance with the dead in my dreams [Hello? Hello Mr Gein?]

Listen to their hollowed screams [Mr Gein?]

The dead have taken my soul [Lemme out of here Mr Gein]

Temptation's lost all control [Mr Gein? I don't wanna play anymore

Mr Gein]

[Dance with the dead in my dreams [Mr Gein, it's not any fun anymore,]

Listen to their hollowed screams [I don't want to play anymore Mr Gein]

The dead have taken my soul [Mr Gein? Lemme out of here Mr Gein]

Temptation's lost all control] [Lemme out, LEMMMMEEE OOUUUUUUTTT
