Nineteen-eighty-six, the air begins to crack
A sonic execution, no way of turning back
Rubin stripped the echoes, left the bone and marrow dry
Ten tracks of pure precision beneath a crimson sky
No room for soaring ballads, no time to catch your breath
Just the rapid-fire herald of a choreographed death

Twenty-nine minutes of madness and speed
Sowing the chaos, the ultimate breed
From the scream of the Angel to the thunder in the mud
The world was reborn in a Reign… in… Blood

Hanneman and King, a dual-axe attack
Lombardo’s kit is screaming, the rhythms never slack
A blur of flying fingers, a dive-bomb on the bar
Setting up a standard that would raise the metal bar
It redefined the heavy, it codified the hate
The blueprint for the darkness at the heavy metal gate

The sky turns black…
The clouds collapse…
RAINING BLOOD

From the Auschwitz gates to the altars of the deep
The riffs are waking demons that were never meant to sleep
A concentrated fury that burns throughout the veins
While every other pretender is shackled in their chains
The needle hits the center, the static starts to flood
The world is left drowning in a Reign… in… Blood

The needle hits the center, the static starts to fade
But history remembers the masterpiece they made
No filler, no mercy, just the power and the flood
Forever under Slayer’s Reign… in… Blood
