Note: These arenıt always this consistent. These two riffs get chopped up a bit and mixed with each Other. This is the way 
they appear most often though. Once youıve played these through a few times, you Should have the feel of where they mix.

Players Notes: The strings of #ıs are just thrash pedaling with pretty heavy palm muting, and all /
Marks indicate a slide from chord to chord, instead of individual picking on those chords. These riffs are 
Also mixed up a bit as Iıve indicated above, but once you get these down, the changes in the song should
Be obvious. Play it Hardcore and heavy folks

Lyrics
This Herod (The Great) he was troubled, when he first learned of Christ, like so many of today, who neglect salvation life
and do not giveth Lord Christ Jesus, the glory due his name.  They try by their own righteousness, to enter Heavens gate.  
Herods Violent Death (x2)

Another (Antipas) killed John the Baptist, for some wicked chick, like those who kill the Word of God, that is, make no 
place for it.  They claim that theyıre just busy, that maybe one day theyıll get with it, but as the thief comes in the 
night, guess what theyıll be hit with.  
Herods Violent Death (x2)

Bridge
A lesson to be learned, as History will repeat itself.  The scripture, it does no lie.  Billions will follow them to 
Judgement, because they will not receive Christ.  Why donıt you repent tonight?  
Herods Violent Death (x2)

This death is just a type of the terror, that you will live in if you refuse to become a Saint of God, consecrated to Him.  
Holiness is not the eradication of evil in the fallen nature of man, But consecration unto God, Come by Faith, you can.
