(playing) it is hard to tell. May your ears be your guide.

Lyrics for verse 2&3
V2
Kill we will kill death
Masturbating on the deeds we have done
Blah Blah Blah Death Kill
Something something feel the death of his son
Interlude
Cronos sings something I can't understand with an
overdub of a woman reciting Psalm 23
Die we won't die here
something difference is but you'll never know
Martyrs blah blah blah
don't know this line either
Sorry about the lyrics, maybe another Venom fan can help.
I am . . .
