Peaceful confrontation meet war machine
Seizing all civil liberty.
Honest balotation among banshee
Spilling blood on humanity.
You can not hide the face of death
Opression ruled by blood shed.
No disguise can deface evil, a masacre of inocent people.
No disguise can deface evil, stains the primitive sickle blood red.

Deviated lies, fear blinds your eyes,
Enforcing their truth through gun. 
Aggressive discipline and barbaric control,
Thousands of people cannot be wrong.

Growing opposition with words as ammunition,
Expressionsof life's liberty.
Aggressive discipline and barbaric control,
Spilling blood throughout humanity.

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Trey Average	#1 by Trey smith at Oct 28, 1973 at 11:22 PM EST
	Actually this song is about the tiananmen square incident.

No Picture JustiN Professional	#2 by JustiN at Mar 17, 1974 at 10:42 AM EST
	Slayer songs hold diffrent meanings to different people, I think this is probably a song they wrote to suggest that theyre not nazis, due to "Angel of Death" critiscism, so I think they are probably writing an american point of view of ww2, and the pollitical oppression governments have held.

No Picture Brad Lead Player	#3 by Brad Vincent at Dec 28, 1986 at 8:29 PM EST
	Probobly because Slayer weren't trying to be "cool" by going against a particular figure, just the general idea of politically-condoned war and murder.

No Picture Josh Professional	#4 by Josh Wilson at Jun 17, 1988 at 2:16 AM EST
	Its funny that one would think unveiling the evil of oppresion and the oppressors (ie Hitler, Stalin) as a political statement. I see it as more of a observation than statement; true none the less. Kick Ass Song. Slayer Rules All Hell!!!!!!!!!!!
