Death was one of the pioneering death metalbands, headed by metal legend Chuck Schuldiner. The band underwent many lineup changes during its history, with Chuck Schuldinerbeing the only mainstay throughout the lifetime of the group. Founded under the name of Mantas, in Orlando, Florida, after a couple of demo tapes were released, Chuck had decided to change the name to " Death", in 1985. Soon after, amidst a few band changes, their first full-length; Scream Bloody Gore, was released in 1987, planting Florida firmly in the roots of death metal's beginnings, and starting it on its way to becoming the death metal scene of today. By 1990, Deathhad released Leprosyand Spiritual Healing, and taking on-board journeyman guitarist James Murphy(who later went on to play for Obituary, Cancer, and even Nevermoreat one point, among others).

Baptized In Blood Lyrics

Death

Under command a new-born child
Submerged in blood, the dead they smile
Growing possessed, burning inside
A bloody feast for us tonight
The way of death
Is growing hear just take my hand
Skies grow black
Unholy corpses upon their land
The dead they gather around
Praising the child they found
Possessed, the child shall kill
The future is now revealed
Baptised in blood
Destined to burn
Baptised in blood
Reborn they'll learn
Gather around, watch and see
A new creation of misery
Taking the place of the elderly dead
Forbidden ways now in his head
The way of death
Is growing hear just take my hand
Skies grow black
Unholy corpses upon their land
The dead they gather around
Praising the child they found
Possessed, the child shall kill
The future is now revealed
Baptised in blood
Destined to burn
Baptised in blood
Reborn they'll learn
Baptised in blood
Destined to burn
Baptised in blood
Reborn they'll learn
