lyrics

Oh, the smell of boiling bodies fills the crypt
Echoes remain of screams upon their lips
And they rejoice in their great wickedness
Cooking a feast to replenish
Stirring the cauldron with a leg-bone
Dancing and rasping the incantations known
Only to those who’ve long since fallen
Who’ve sold their soul so very long ago

Gore obsessive gluttony
Whole bodies swallowed hungrily
There’s no escape from evil of this kind
And though you try to run you cannot save yourself
We will find our way to you, my child
Carcasses and cackling
The carnage of their capturing
Enchanted by their beauty and their size
And though you try to fight you cannot save yourself
Death will find it’s way to all mankind

Oh, how many shall be prey to all their charms?
Victims impaled upon their bladed arms
And when finally full they will transform
To their gruesome primary form

Bitter smoke permeates the whole tomb
The hopelessness that once consumed you dies
A cloak of burning flesh surrounds you
You see your one chance to survive this night
