Widowmaker Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're locked in my sights
And it'd be my delight
To blow your head clean off the neck where it rests
As you'll see that I do specialize
In a one-shot surprise; a sniper, they've called me the best
[Pre-Chorus]
You'd suggest I'm a cold-hearted man
Well it's a cold-hearted world
[Verse 2]
And besides if you'd open your eyes
There's always been demand to be met
Need someone destroyed? I'm gainfully employed
No mark is too sordid; no victim too close
[Pre-Chorus]
I am death
I profess I've a cold-hearted plan
To ingress from this cold-hearted life
While the competition rests, I am obsessed
Exacting success one mark at a time
[Chorus 1]
Killing is my business, and at my business I excel
By silenced gun or silver blade
It's the shock on their face as I send them
Screaming to hell
[Post-Chorus]
Succinctly my conscience is clean
Though truly this work is a mess
To silence I've sworn this heart doth not mourn
Emotionless to no god I'll confess
[Bridge]
Largely but a ghost to them
Most won't see me at all
A red dot centered patiently
Where the spine does meet the skull and they're gone
[Chorus 1]
Killing is my business, and at my business I excel
By silenced gun or silver blade
It's the shock on their face as I send them to hell
[Chorus 2]
Crimes of lust a sworn revenge
Reclaiming what's been lost
Adulterers; extortionists
All pains I'm paid to stop
[Outro]
They call me the Widowmaker
Nightbringers Lyrics
[Guitar solo]
Legion six hundred sixty-six
No evangelist shall stand before me
Bury his memory into black
And with might attack all who oppose
You will behold infinite
Bringers of the night
Black flame of Satan burning foul and bright
We kindred bringers of the night
Your blood our sweet delight
Jars Lyrics
6 ContributorsJars LyricsMy jars, wonderful jars, each labeled, sealed, and stowed
Beneath the cellar floor where not a soul would ever know
Preserved, my sustenance, to last the entire winter long
These jars, my precious meat brined and pickled cuts of human beef
Row after row
A pantry full of enemies
Maintained and organized
A vast collection dear to me
Each one a toy of mine
I revisit them when I should eat
With zeal I recollect
That very moment of their defeat
Salting and curing every piece for my flesh feast
(In jars) vessels immaculate
Cylindrical and clean (Their heads in jars)
The lightless winter months
Have gone straight to my brain, know what I mean?
Here in my solitude
Fed by my stock of dead (preserved in jars)
Their facial features warp
The laughter never ends
My foe, I win
My jars innumerable, incalculable my pride
Trophies of my love to hunt
Taken to such egregious heights
Each one encapsulates
A visage of that fateful night
Of those who have met their end
By my ever still and sharpened skinning knife
Brown-sugared long pig, what a treat
Obscenely orgasmic to eat
For this scrumptious family recipe
I've saved you a seat
(In jars) Vessels immaculate
Cylindrical and clean (their heads in jars)
The lightless winter months
Have gone straight to my brain, know what I mean?
Here in my solitude
Fed by my stock of dead (preserved in jars)
Their facial features warp
Defiled unto no end
Again I win
Row after row, a pantry full of enemies
Maintained and organized
A vast collection dear to me
8-17-05, this collegiate girl did kick and fight
The next sow bled September 9th
Plucked from her tracks, out like the tide
(In jars) Vessels immaculate
Cylindrical, and clean (their heads in jars)
The lightless winter months
Have gone straight to my brain, know what I mean?
Here in my solitude
Fed by my stock of dead (preserved in jars)
Their facial features warp
Defiled unto no end
Again I win
Catacomb Hecatomb Lyrics
6 ContributorsCatacomb Hecatomb LyricsTorchlight dancing on her chamber
Aflickering throne of bone
Embedded in walls of cobwebs
Entangled draping designs arachnid
Eyelessly her sockets piercing, a voice begins to rise
A torrent of backward screaming
The bandaging that wraps her bursting
As her legs begin to part
Foul plumage of dust erupting
Our lungs arrested by dreadful coughing
Her royal stomach bulbous, bubbling, bulging with undead life
A prayer to unknown and unsee these hellish sights
The halls of these catacombs our wretched grave
Where we'll stalk the dark as undead slaves
A sentence eternally to painfully rot
In this skull-lined tomb that time's forgot
Hallucination paralyzation
Utter and complete annihilation
Queen of the restless dead spews forth
Screaming as we're both eaten alive!
Spider sacks erupt
A million tiny princes
Pouring from her hollowed hull
Hungry for flesh
Cobwebbed mistress of ancient horror
The torch escaping my frozen grasp
Our end approaches carnivorous feasting
We'll feed her offspring, consumed before each other's eyes
The rancid fruitage of her ancient, yellowed bones
Had we only learned to leave well enough alone
The halls of these catacombs our wretched grave
Where we'll stalk the dark as undead slaves
A sentence eternally to bloodlessly rot
In this skull lined tomb that time's forgot
Chained in this afterlife, we're to remain
Serving unto this curse of everlasting arachnid disdain
A hecatomb by the candle's golden flame
Never must you utter her name
Hallucination paralyzation
Utter and complete annihilation
As Good as Dead Lyrics
4 ContributorsAs Good As Dead LyricsWhy has god forsaken me?
It sank its rotten teeth into my flesh
I screamed as now I'm one of them
The zombie's poison flows
Corrupting mortal veins
The festering wound won't mend
My body suffering with pain
Face is sunken in, my eyes begin to fade
The pigmentation of my flesh erased, and we're left
Counting the days handcuffed to the bed
That look in your eyes gets worse each time
You cannot hide the pain that you feel
When seeing me this way as
Good as dead
Rotting from deep inside
Cold compress on the head
Temperature wildly fluctuates
Teeth chattering without end
Appetite is lost, soon to long for flesh
The goodbyes yet to be said
Fret not my friend, 'cause we are
Counting the days handcuffed to the bed
That look in your eyes gets worse each time
You cannot hide the pain that you feel
When seeing me this way
I'm one of them
Why would god forsake us all
We're left to fend for our feeble selves
I scream, but no one hears me
Tallies scratched into a wall of stone
In this hell surrounded but truly all alone
Counting the days handcuffed to the bed
That look in your eyes
You realise you cannot hide the pain that you feel
As I fade into the grey
Counting the days locked in solitude
The tears in your eyes get worse each time
You fail to hide the shame that you feel
When seeing me this way as good as
As good as dead
