Twisting knife
Into the spine
Collapsing limbs
As the body dies
Twitching as your vision fades
The last thing you see is the devils face
Ultimate sacrifice
Drink this blood
I speak for god
Obey
I destroy
We destroy
Let them come
A mind to wash
A mind to fuck
A father to the naive
I must kill
We must kill
Hail the Divine
Obey
Blood pact...cutthroat
Never question the insane
Devotion...repulsion
The sedated children of night
Madness...murder
Killing for some lunatic acid Christ
Revolutionary...suicide
The stench of a decomposing congregation
Sorrow haunts the fog
Glowing pale skin of the dead
Fingers clenched till the end
Lifeless eyes stare in regret
The morning after
The horrors set in
Reflections in the scythe/When the dying won't die
Another Reapers eve
Time to collect the dead
Haunted by the pleas
That come with Death
Fate's Serpent strikes
Suffering has no rest
The vibrating glottis
Justices final hiss
Strapped, tagged and blessed
3000 volts run through the veins
The execution must go on
When the dying won't die
Blood slowly pours from the eyes
A swelling brain scrapes the skull
As you slip into the unknown
Here comes the darkness
Convulsing but lifeless
Killed like a diseased rat
Slumped over in that electric chair
The death waves are crushing
Why the fuck aren't I dying
My deal with the devil
Wasn't supposed to end this way
