When I was little I used to sneak out of bed to watch the Headbangers Ball with my older brothers. (That was back when MTV played music) And I remember seeing the music video for the song "Seasons in the Abyss" from Slayer. The video didn't scare me at all. It was what I heard. I thought he said "Yeah I'm dead, I'm lyin' in bed, with incisions in my head" I could just imagine Tom Araya lying down, dead bleeding from his scalp. Not until a few weeks ago did I know the lyrics were "Razors edge, outlines the dead, incisions in my head"... I was close.
The image still freaks me out.
