Chorus: I kill christians in the name of lucifer For I am the 'last judgement saboteur' I obey my master's word To destroy the christian world I kill christians in the name of lucifer In the name of satan I roam the streets I'm possessed by all evil in search of christian sheep While they might run or pray out loud My machine gun fire will take 'em out Chorus I'm the serpent to destroy the christian culture I'm the (a) time bomb exposed to their torture No page will be turned in the Book of Revelations That ain't changed in favour of satan Chorus 'In September of 1999 ten years passed since the death sentence was put to Richard Ramirez. Because he is one Hell of a Satanist I decided to create a tape with satanic songs. I wrote a couple of lyrics within one week in March 1999 to praise satan, ‘cause there are already enough songs to praise the Lord of jews and christians. I Kill christians! is not about Danny himself. It is about some other guy killing christians because the devil wants him to do so in order to change the revelations foretold in the bible. The song’s got some great refrain with a gospel alike touch. At some point you can hear the growl of satan, which I recorded by putting a microphone real close near the gates of hell. Starting February 22, 2002, it has been done live 5-10 times on acoustic guitar until February 15, 2008, and twice singing along with an instrumental backing (August 13, 2009 and August 13, 2010). For an acoustic guitar gig on February 7, 2004, the lyrics were changed to fit the Wild West themed party, and the song got temporarily renamed as I Kill Cowboys In The Name Of Manitou!.'

I am the principal archangel of the lord I give high fives and I thee and thou But I've got my reasons for Destruction is what I bring about Chorus: I'll be the traitor in the shape of Gabriel I'm the demon in disguise I'm on a mission straight from hell To overthrow the heavenly paradise I'm the accomplice of the horned one I'm the wolf among the angels choir My true remains hidden for Those who'll be roasted in a totally heaven's fire Chorus 'This is a very easy listening song about sneaking into heaven and messing the damn place up from the inside. I wish I were a follower of the christian religion only to be the wolf among sheep when my entity would end up in heaven. But luckily I don’t believe in stuff like entities, the soul and heaven. However I did read some parts of the bible to write the lyrics to this song, that has never been performed in concert.'

Chorus: You know I got Satan in my blood It's for a good cause to be hated by men and god That's why I've got the blackest of all blood My 'soul' once will be ablaze When I descend into the sea of flames Until that beautiful burning day You'll get to know my misanthropic ways Chorus I despise the god that created life It's a mockery combined with lies The only thing that really thrives Is the feeling of contempt growing inside Danny Ramirez - acoustic rhythm guitar, vocals Chorus 'This is another cut in praise of the devil, which all have to be viewed upon as ‘entertaining Satanism’. Although the music sounds quite cheerful, the words despise god, life and mankind. I’m not like that all the time, but a certain side of me is. Especially when I’m sober this side sees chance to come crawling out of my mind. So one can say that I got satan in my blood when there’s no alcohol in it. Toward the end of the song on the tape the words are replaced by a catchy humming part for all to hum along. The cd version is almost one minute shorter, because on the Devil!-tape it goes on and on and on. Up from December 31, 1999, Satan! has been on most of the set lists, but it tends to get played less since September 2016.'

Walked into a church The holy mess is no fun I felt the power of satan's curse When I saw you, christian one For you a thousand ways to die I drew my AK 47 In hell I will no fry For blowing you to heaven I feel pleasure when I see your misery What a sweet redemption To know you (I) suffer eternally Spillin' blood all over the place Jesus walked by, laughed And kicked you in the face 'This is a happy song about killing a christian in a church, which of course and for good reasons shouldn’t be done, unless this ‘christian’ is about to attempt killing others in or around that same church on that particular moment. With I’ll Be The Traitor In The Shape Of Gabriel! it is the only other song from this tape that has never been played live. The lyrics were written by a guy named Ksander and were a bit changed to fit in with the rest of the demo by Danny himself. The music is very much based on the song Little Green Bag (1969) by the George Baker Selection, a great Dutch band from the 1970s. George Baker still is one of the Greatest Dudes from Holland.'

I deserve to burn Fire will surround my soul I will praise satan in return To near him (her) is my final goal I deserve to burn Hell is where I soon will be For hymns to god I do not yearn Yes, heaven ain't the place for me I deserve to burn I do not live for heaven's love While pondering death I'd learn With hellish hate I'm better off I deserve to burn The demons open wide the gate Now it is my turn To face my one and only fate I deserve to burn No pearly gates I will pass through But I won't demur For one fine day those will burn too I deserve to burn I hear the flames whisper my name When hell calls there's no return From living live in death aflame I deserve to burn The earth has never wanted me Hell is what I'd earn To dwell in, through eternity I deserve to burn I will praise satan in return While pondering death I'd learn For hymns to god I do not yearn 'The feel of this song is somewhat Micheal Gira alike, the guy from The Swans and Skin. Unfortunately I do not have his voice. It’s a slow and quite simple song giving the listener all sorts of reasons why Danny Ramirez deserves to end up in hell. If only there would be one of course. The fact there isn’t is of no matter to the lyrics, which are superb. Done live one or two times, with its first (and maybe only) performance on May 4, 2002.'
