Bury them all 'neath heaping shovel fulls of lime
In shallow graves, the shreds of flesh dissolve with time
The stench of burning human flesh, a makeshift cremation
A shriveling fragment of death's grand design
I insist— the pleasure's all mine!
With orgasmic bliss, the human body is consumed
The loins are charred; the slabs of flesh*, cut off and groomed
With zeal I dine upon the skin, enthralled with elation
The souls of my victims within me, entombed
Palette wet with atrocity
I relish the last look in your eyes
Clutching your intestines, your scream echoes through me
Perfection: a murder divine
I hold the secrets of the dead within my grasp
As I poke and prod, your precious world is painted black
A cold controller of your fate, a twisted creation*
Until I've met my fancy, I'll hammer and hack
Palette wet with atrocity
I relish the last look in your eyes!
As I'm blissfully showered in blood, I shake with violent rapture
As I gaze at my delicious feast, I cannot stop my salivation
My addiction to murder has peaked
Kneel only to my sick fixations
A complete symphony of your screams
O, the cruelty of death, I wield infinite
Lured by the cries of your damnation
I collect ornaments of the dead
Skin tingling with anticipation
I sever the last victim's head to be put on display
This mortal coil has bore unto me death's secrets
This forensic inquisition, orgasmic
Another trophy of my bloodfed psychosis
Another body to mangle, to ravage and explore
Palette wet with atrocity
I relish the last look in your eyes
Clutching your intestines, your scream echoes through me
Perfection: a murder divine
*For those who will attempt to edit and "fix" the few inconsistencies between this transcription and the official lyric sheet, please read: There are two errors in the official lyric sheet. Specifically, the word "meat" is changed to "flesh" in the actual song, and the entire phrase: "I the controlled of your fate, my twisted creations" was mistyped, and this is obvious when listening to the song. In addition, it makes little sense in its original form. Other than these two errors, which I have intentionally corrected and marked with an asterisk (*), the lyrics are identical to the official transcription.
