lyrics

All of these secrets are kept by the dead
(By the dead)
No tales can be told by their severed heads
(Severed heads)
Ignorant that you want to believe
(To believe)
Tapestry of deceit that I weave
(That I weave)

Like lambs to the slaughter
Force fed from a trough of lies
Impending captivity
My lullaby will be their cries
(The cries)

Skin removed
Guts exhumed
I'll wear your face like its mine

Your flesh to be
Trinkets to me
Your skull a vessel I fill with wine

Reclaiming what life stole from me
The inner sickness you don't want to see
Dig up those in the cemetery
And recycle the bodies

But I'll continue to slay
And revel in decay
Carve off your skin
Then step within

The air is thick with rotten stench
Bones and limbs sprawled across the bench
Covered in blood I'm most content
There is only so much one can repent

It's inevitable they will soon discover
(Soon discover)
Piece together that fallen number
(Fallen number)
An abyss that pulls us under
(Pulls us under)
Ever closer to your final slumber
(Final slumber)

Skin slaughter

I find a beauty in decay
Companions that will never betray
Now confined in sanctuary
Alone to deal with insanity
