Slayer (NWOBHM) - Hammerhead

Look out behind you he is coming
You can hear it for miles around
Look out behind you he is coming
He's attracted by the sound
Everyone screaming, panic, splashing
Means the hammerhead is near
People are running from the danger
Falling blinded by their fear

Hammerhead keeps on swimming.
Hammerhead keep on taking those lives.
Hammerhead, king of the water.
Hammerhead.

Somebody screams out 'Shark'
And the bather's blood runs cold.
Everyone rams, but one too slowly
and the teeth of death take hold.
See the blood rising, water swirling
As the killer takes his prey.
Screams of pain ring through the air
as another life slips away.

In the deep death is lurking.
For the fools he is waiting.
Ile will wait 'til you stray,
and then he'll strike.
Hammerhead.

Down on another beach are people
Playing games and having fun.
Some of them swimming in the sea
And some are soaking up the sun.
None of them realise the danger
That is lying there in wait.
None of them realise the danger
'til he strikes and it's too late.
