Slayer-Dead Skin Mask [HQ]

I DO NOT OWN THIS MUSIC.

Seasons in the Abyss is the fifth studio album from L.A. thrashers, Slayer. While the album still has the same brutal, speed metal aspect of Slayer's first 3 studio LPs, it also experiments with a much toned down heavier style, still keeping that Thrash Metal feel. They experimented with this just a tiny bit in their previous album, South of Heaven. "Dead Skin Mask," shows how Slayer can still kick your ass while not playing 1000 miles per hour. The song is about notorious serial killer Ed Gein, who was a profound cannibal and necrophiliac. He also inspired the famous horror movie, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Slayer has always been a band to sing about murder, hell, satan, and other extreme subjects, but that's what gives Slayer their personality. Slayer was there from the dawn of Thrash and helped shape the genre along side Metallica and Anthrax. Megadeth was to come later on, but that's a different story. All in all, Slayer are part of the Big 4 of Thrash, and rightfully so.

Lyrics:
Graze the skin with my finger tips
The brush of dead cold flesh pacifies the means
Provocative images delicate features so smooth
A pleasant fragrance in the light of the moon

[Chorus]
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
