Cast Down (track 05 from the God Hates Us All LP by Slayer )
Despair, emptiness
See the hatred wasted on yourself
Face down, taste the dust
It’s getting harder everyday just to find a reason not to end it all
Suicide on the street
Everywhere around you, watch it breed
It begins to bury you in self-induced rejection
So now you’re wasted, broken down
I see through your ignorance
Penetrate the surface of your insecure inside
Next fix—shoot it up
Looking for the place where God speaks
Every time you find Him, He just stabs you in the back again
No one hears you
You’re society’s infection
I won’t judge when the blood steals life from you
Cast down and thrown away
You are the living dead
The needle numbs the pain of all your suffering
This is where the world of money changes nothing!
Just a statistic in the shadows of the real world
The system is failing you just the way it failed me
Hell is home on the concrete where the city bleeds
America, home of the free:
Land of fucking disenchantment
Despair, emptiness
Isolation rapes you everyday
Face down, taste the dust
Digging deeper in your grave
Haven’t found reason
Haven’t found a thing to live for
Godless, He doesn’t care how you choose to destroy yourself
In a world that feeds on hate you’re left here just to waste away
In your cardboard prison, asphalt wasteland
No one hears you
You’re society’s infection
I won’t judge when the blood steals life from you
No one sees you
You’re society’s infection
I won’t judge when the blood steals life from you
Cast down and thrown away
You are the living dead
The needle numbs the pain of all your suffering
This is where the world of money changes nothing!
