Blasted to hell The end is near
Repeat verse riff 1:
As you wait upon your fate and your throat is full of pain
And though you try to scream you know it's all in vain
Nothing you can change, destiny is complete
Silence seems so strange and you start to feel the heat
Repeat verse riff 2:
Forever to burn, infinite pain
Demons of darkness, warriors domain

BRIDGE from verse 1 to 2
Play intro riff while lead guitar R solos (Larry L.)
VERSE 2
Repeat music for verse 1:
Verse Riff 1:
You think you're so secure
Protected from above
Gaze into the hell fire
I know you'll fall in love
They'll hunt you down at night
Your flesh is what they want
Your eyes will scream for sight
When evil comes to haunt
Verse Riff 2:
Cursed by nightmares
When you sleep
They'll cut your throat
And blood will seep
Verse Riff 1:
Fighting through the mist
Forever trapped in Hell
Crushed with Satan's fist
You can't escape his spell
Sanity will pass
Reality is just a word
Evil does its task
With its mighty sword
Verse Riff 2:
Open your eyes and die
By the hand of mass
Escape and you'll defy
My long awaited grasp
INTERLUDE before solos:
(guitar L plays top, guitar R plays bottom)

VERSE 3
Copy verse 1 music:
Verse Riff 1:
They want to steal your soul
Death will steal away
Your wrongs will take their toll
Below the crust you'll lay
Spell has cast no hope
Forgotten thoughts of good
Your neck awaits a rope
And things go like they should
Verse Riff 2:
Enslaved in forever torment
Blood drips from your eyes
There is no way to repent
>From your wicked lies
Verse Riff 1:
Blades of steel
Cut off your head
Served as a meal
Satan is fed
Masters of evil
Blasters of Hell
No one can stop them
We're under their spell
Verse Riff 2:
Red eyes are glowing
With you in sight
And if you're knowing
Scream out in fright
ENDING
