[Intro] [Feedback squeal transitions into a rapid-fire chromatic gallop] [Double-bass drumming kicks in like a machine gun] [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge / Breakdown] [Music slows to a crushing, sludge-like breakdown] The sky turns black… The clouds collapse… [Drum fill: snare rolls accelerate into a frenzy] RAINING BLOOD [Guitar Solo] [Chaos-style solo with heavy whammy bar abuse, high-pitched shrieks, and lightning-fast pentatonic runs] [Verse 3] 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 [Outro] 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 [Final crash of cymbals and the sound of falling rain]
