LYRICS
Trapped in purgatory A lifeless object,
alive Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquisition
The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, the skys crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone
Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above
Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away
Raining blood From a lacerated sky
Bleeding it’s horror Creating my structure
Now I shall reign in blood!

Written by Tom Araya, Jeff Hanneman, Kerry King, Dave Lombardo
Appendix
Vader “Raining Blood” cover
The Polish death metal band Vader covered this metal anthem in their stage. Yes, this is also called ‘Vading blood’. Nice cover.
