(Jeff Hanneman/Tom Araya)
[talking]
How I've waited for you to come
Ive been here all alone
And now that you've arrived
Please stay awhile
And i promise i wont keep you long
I'll keep you forever
Graze the skin with my finger tips
The brush of dead cold flesh appease the means
Provoking images delicate features so smooth
A pleasant fragrance in the light of the moon
CHORUS
Dance with the dead in my dreams
Listen to their hallowed screams
The dead have taken my soul
Temptation's lost all control
Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes
Lose all mind control rationale declines
Empty eyes enslave the creations
Of placid faces and lifeless pageants
In the depths of a mind insane
Fantasy and reality are the same
Graze the skin with my finger tips
The brush of dead warm flesh pacifies the means
Incised members ornaments on my being
Adulating the skin before me
Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes
Lose all mind control rationale declines
Empty eyes enslave the creations
Of placid faces and lifeless pageants

Review about Dead Skin Mask :] | Reviewer: Meghan | 7/12/09
i love this song, i had no idea it was about a serial killer... i always wondered who Mr. Gein was though. i love the voices in the background.. i think it makes it sound really creepy. best slayer song ever!

The only problem is the adult faking the child's voice gives away thier over-developed pipes with the long cries. Ruins the effect after the first chilling time the child screams.
Yeah, that riff, the way it starts. Fucking right!!

Song meaning - Dead Skin Mask | Reviewer: hevvyeyes | 6/17/07
This song was written about serial killer Ed Gein.
Some quotes from an article:-
they found what appeared to be masks made out of human faces. There was also many heads, some stuffed with newspaper, some soaked in oil. The police thought that the oil was to keep the skin from decaying. Then in a brown paper bag a deputy found the head of Mary Hogan.
Other things reported to have been found at the house included the genitalia of many women (which he kept in salt); a can of Doctor Pepper containing congealed liquid believed to be blood; a belt made of nipples; a skull made into a soup bowl (Gein claimed to have got the idea from a Norwegian custom); and a mobile made of noses. There were also lampshades and chair seats made from human skin.
