Description | This song was written by Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King. D. X. Ferris said that “when Hanneman wrote the song, he envisioned a scene from a dark street or bloody back alley”, and later went on to say that the song “described a banished soul awakened and hungry for vengeance.” Hanneman explained that “it’s about a guy who’s in Purgatory ’cause he was cast out of Heaven. He’s waiting for revenge and wants to fuck that place up.” King later said that “the rest of the song explains what happens when he starts fucking people up”. |
