Slayer's last album God Hates Us All was released on September 11th, 2001.

Lyrics - Track 1:

Lyrics - Track 2:
pessimist, terrorist, targeting the next life ... I'm waiting for the day the whole world ****in' dies! I have no faith distracting me - I know why your prayers will never be answered - God hates us all!

Lyrics - Track 4:
