(Music: Hanneman / Lyrics: Araya)

Peaceful confrontation meet war machine
Seizing all civil liberties
Honest ballotation among banshee
Spilling blood throughout [sings "on"] humanity
You cannot hide the face of death
Oppression ruled by bloodshed
No disguise can deface evil
The massacre of innocent people

Deviated lies fear blinding your eyes
Enforcing their truth through a gun
Aggressive discipline and barbaric control
Thousands of people cannot be wrong

You cannot hide the face of death
Oppression rules by bloodshed
No disguise can deface evil
That stains the primitive sickle

Blood Red

Solo: Hanneman, King, Hanneman, King, Hanneman

Growing opposition with words as ammunition
Expressions of life's liberties
Aggressive discipline and barbaric control
Spilling blood throughout humanity

[You cannot hide the face of death
 Oppression rules by bloodshed
 No disguise can deface evil
 That stains the primitive sickle

 Blood Red
