    The main riff to this song awesomely skull crushingly heavy.
    One of Jeff Hanneman's best songs that he's written.

    Lyrics:
    Funeral held for the depression of man
    Holds the key to his own death
    Entering a tomb of a corpse yet conceived
    Tighten the tourniquet around your neck
    Sifting away the debris of hated life
    Cold touch of death begins to chill your spine
    Seeking life beyond your perishment
    Repeating words echoing through your mind
    Chanting lines of blind witchery
    To save yourself from extinction
    Wanting to die is your reason to live
    New life born from the oppressed
    Taste your blood as it trickles through the air
    Another casualty beyond the shadows you fall
    Losing ground, the fate you feel it draws near
    Fatality, reality, you await the final call
    My sinful glare at nothing holds thoughts of death behind it
    Skeletons in my mind commence tearing at my sanity
    Vessels in my brain carry death until my birth
    Come and die with me forever
    Share insanity
    Do you want to die!
    The waves of blood are rushing near, pounding at the walls of lies
    Turning off my sanity, reaching back into my mind
    Non-rising body from the grave showing new reality
    What I am, what I want, I'm only after death

      why does it seem whenever people list their favorite slayer songs there seems to be no love for post mortem ?? post mortem / raining blood is a must listen to quench that need for heavy metal.

    Para mim esses são os deuses do Metal, a vibração energética da música do SLAYER tem que ser estudada pelos cientista.
    Eu me curei ouvindo SLAYER\m/
    Salve meus deuses❤🇧🇷
