Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquittance
The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone
Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above
Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away
Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure, now I shall reign in blood
A Tempestade Sanguinolenta de Raining Blood do Slayer
A música Raining Blood, da banda Slayer, é um marco do thrash metal e uma das mais reconhecidas do gênero. A letra da música é carregada de imagens sombrias e violentas, que refletem a estética e a temática frequentemente associadas ao Slayer. A banda é conhecida por suas letras que abordam temas como morte, ocultismo e crítica social, e Raining Blood não é exceção, mergulhando o ouvinte em um cenário apocalíptico e visceral.
A letra começa com a descrição de uma entidade presa no purgatório, um estado intermediário entre a vida e a morte, aguardando vingança. A referência ao purgatório pode ser interpretada como uma metáfora para um estado de sofrimento e espera, talvez refletindo sentimentos de raiva e impotência. A imagem do céu vermelho e do retorno ao poder sugere uma reviravolta iminente, onde as regras estabelecidas serão abolidas. A menção a 'regras feitas de pedra' pode ser uma crítica às estruturas rígidas da sociedade ou da religião.
O refrão, que fala sobre sangue chovendo de um céu lacerado, é uma poderosa metáfora visual que evoca destruição e caos. A ideia de sangue caindo do céu e criando uma estrutura pode ser interpretada como a ascensão de um novo poder ou ordem, nascida do caos e da violência. A música termina com a afirmação de que o narrador agora reinará em sangue, sugerindo uma conquista ou uma mudança radical após um período de conflito e turbulência. Raining Blood é uma expressão artística da fúria e do poder destrutivo, características que fizeram do Slayer uma banda icônica no mundo do metal.
