CORPSEGRINDER LYRICS

1. Acid Vat

Silence was your promise, trust was given, not earned,
No allegiance shown, not a man of your word

In this game you failed where the stakes were your life,
Sworn to secrecy until the price was too high

Now there is a stalemate, your next move is your last,
You'll become a ghost with no future
And barely any past

Into the acid vat
You must go,
Into the acid vat,
No one else can know

Should've known the cost,
Should've held your tongue,
Could if you had any honor, you displayed none

Consumed by regret,
What awaits you can't accept,
Now as you dissolve,
Become one with nothingness

Final please ignored,
Whimpering in vain,
Cornered like the rat you are at the end of the maze

Into the acid vat
You must go,
Into the acid vat,
No one else can know

Liquefied alive,
Rendered nonexistent,
Joining all the others
Who failed to stay silent,
Final resting place
At the bottom of the barrel,
Where you belong with the rest
Of the scum

You knew just who you could never cross
But you did it anyway,
You knew loose tongues get cut,
Now you're caught and you can't be saved

You promised silence (you promised silence),
You broke your vow (you broke your vow),
Now you owe your life (now you owe your life),
Think of this as you burn and drown

Time to pay the blood debt
Into the acid vat
Into the acid vat
You must go
Into the acid vat
No one else can know

2. Bottom Dweller

You can't wash your hands of this

Take all the trust,
Deceiving the weak,
Just as worthless as the words you speak,
Delivering none,
So falsely kind,
I must sever the prophet from his lies

I'll pull the trigger,
I'll flip the switch,
I'll swing the bat, no questions asked

I'll fill the can,
I'll pour the gas,
Then light the match, watch you turn to ash

Bottom dweller,
You've evaded justice until now
Bottom dweller,
Only remnants of your body will be found
Bottom dweller,
Truly perverse pretending to be wise
Bottom dweller,
I must sever the prophet from his lies

I'll pull the trigger,
I'll flip the switch,
I'll swing the bat, no questions asked

I'll fill the can,
I'll pour the gas,
Then light the match, watch you turn to ash

I'll wield the knife,
I'll drop the axe,
Smashing bricks into your skull until it cracks

I'll plunge the shank,
I'll dig the grave,
Then I'll look into your eyes as I lick the fucking blade

You fucking bottom dweller
You can't wash your hands of this
Take this blade
Now sink it in
Sink it deep
Deeper and deeper

Now your words are met with scorn and spit,
You couldn't resist, now I can't forgive,
All I have for you is pure disgust,
Smiling as I sink in this blade and thrust

Bottom dweller,
You've evaded justice until now
Bottom dweller,
Only remnants of your body will be found
Bottom dweller,
Truly perverse pretending to be wise
Bottom dweller,
I must sever the prophet from his lies

I'll pull the trigger,
I'll flip the switch,
I'll swing the bat, no questions asked

I'll fill the can,
I'll pour the gas,
Then light the match, watch you turn to ash

I'll wield the knife,
I'll drop the axe,
Smashing bricks into your skull until it cracks

I'll plunge the shank,
I'll dig the grave,
Then I'll look into your eyes as I sink the fucking blade

3. On Wings of Carnage

Surging, striking, slashing through,
Capable of the unholiest deeds

Ripping, slashing, savage blows,
With these hands I bring the world to its knees

On wings of carnage taken back through time,
Emerging where the battle rages

On wings of carnage reaching violent heights,
My reign will be one for the ages

True son
Of a grim land
Where the dead die not, born merciless

True son
Of a grim land,
Rejoicing as my enemies rot

Lethal progress, stirring fear,
Dealing death to anyone in my path

Further, forward, sowing pain,

A murderous legacy to be left

On wings of carnage taken back through time,
Emerging where the battle rages

On wings of carnage reaching violent heights,
My reign will be one for the ages

True son
Of a grim land
Where the damned live free, born merciless

True son
Of a grim land
Bringing the world to its knees, to its knees

Bringing the world to its knees

In a violent blaze, the slaughter continues,
Silent as the grave that I must send you to

True son
Of a grim land
Where the true fear none, born merciless

True son
Of a grim land
Where the butchering has just begun

On wings of carnage,
On wings of carnage reaching violent heights

On wings of carnage taken back through time,
Through time where the battle rages

On wings of carnage, inflicting pain,
My reign will be one for the ages

4. All Souls Get Torn

No hope in false gods

Damnation comes (damnation comes)
With welcoming arms (welcoming arms)
And eyes hollow red (hollow red),
The falsest of friends

I bow to no one

Like rotted teeth
Forced into flesh,
The truest Hell of your own making,
From these flames there's no escaping

Faith of the blind,
Will of the unkind,
They can't let go,
The panic stirs as idols burn,
Smells of desperation loom

No hope in false gods

I bow to no one

Faith transforms (transforms),
All souls get torn (get torn)
By the lash of the overseer,
Striking the broken backs of the believer

No hope in false gods

Burning flesh,
Blood and bone
Into the blackness above,
A treacherous spell
Bound by woe,
Eclipsing all with doom

Filling the void of the hollow self,
Repressing desires,
Taken by force,
Submission or death,
Choose or have the choice made for you

All souls (all souls)
Get torn (get torn),
All souls (all souls)
Get torn (get torn)

There's no hope in false gods here,
Faithless ones built this foundation,
The choice has been made for you,
Now descend into
Damnation

Into damnation!
No hope in false gods ever

All souls get torn,
Still I bow to none

All souls get torn
From this madness be reborn
All souls get torn
Still I bow to none

5. Death Is the Only Key

It's your funeral

When I decide (decide, decide)

There's a burning obsession within,
Grave pleasures furthering descent,
This madness has no other face to show,
Mirrors can't reveal the bringer of the death throes

I hold the scythe, reliving centuries,
Against the gray a threat to all sanity,
From dust to dust, undying rage,
Watching over mankind's inhumanity

Life is the lock, death is the only key,
Take my hand into the next eternity,
I am the dark, light exists only when I'm seen,
Blackest heart, the bane of all divinity

Life is the lock, death is the only key,
Take my hand into the next eternity,
I am the dark, light exists only when I'm seen,
I decide when it's your funeral

It's your funeral

When I decide

A horrid emanation, a sightless soundless presence,
Until you find the door, I am with you through ages,
You never see the wrongs of the lives you lived before,
Doomed to repeat every broken vow that you swore

I have the choices and I've chosen you,
Whichever one you pick could spell your doom,
When you wake again, it's by my command,
The outline of the key burned into your hand

Life is the lock, death is the only key,
Take my hand into the next eternity,
I am the dark, light exists only when I'm seen,
Blackest heart, the bane of all divinity

Life is the lock, death is the only key,
Take my hand into the next eternity,
I am the dark, light exists only when I'm seen,
When I appear again, I know you where you'll be

I decide when it's your funeral

When I decide (decide)

Life is the lock, I am the only key

6. Crimson Proof

Bring on the bloodshed

I see from crest to crest,
All the dead lay strewn,
Countless souls sent to their doom,
All I leave is crimson proof

Enemies charge across the night,
Hostile abilities come alive,
Shutting out all sound and sight,
Air hangs heavy like the steel by my side,
Mercy is a quality I can not have,
Cries of horror turn to shrieks of death

Bring on the bloodshed

I see from crest to crest,
All the dead lay strewn,
Countless souls sent to their doom,
All I leave is crimson proof

Crimson proof

As far as the eye can see,
Only the slain surround me

Crimson proof

Conflict rages life subsides,
Caring not who lives or dies

Behind me, the uncountable dead

Laying amongst severed heads

Crushing every enemy

Bloodshed is the proof I leave

Life is a battle, war is my trade,
Death is my companion stalking by my side,
No gods witness slaughtering of men,
All who challenge will meet their end,
This is my doing, this is my path,
The proof soaks into the ground turning black,
Now I ascend from pawn to messiah
As you fall from king
To pariah

Conflict rages, life subsides,
I control who lives or dies

Crimson proof

As screams tear through the night

Crimson proof

Is all I leave behind

7. Devourer of Souls

Call it fixation, say it's not my concern
While you ignore the crimes of a predator,
Now I must do what a judge and jury can't,
I must take this into my own hands

You're despicable,
Unforgivable,
Every breath you take is too many,
You made others beg, now it's you who does the begging

Every night I lay awake and think
Of the pain I'll make you feel one day,
Every life you've ruined in your wake
You will live again and again

You're despicable,
Unforgivable,
You wanted their blood, now the blood is your own,
When you prey on the weak you summon the devourer of souls

Now call me the devourer of souls

Every day I walk the greyest streets,
This red I can never unsee,
My only purpose is to make you bleed,
Maybe then can I know serenity

I'll be torn until I start to do the tearing,
Only satisfied once your lifeless eyes are glaring,
Call me insane, when you've forced me to act,
You became a friend to my enemy once you turned your back

Once you turned your back

Call it fixation, say it's not my concern
You ignore every warning of a predator,
How can I wait for justice to prevail?
Your silence guarantees your place in Hell

Your place in Hell

Your place in Hell

You wanted this, you wanted this,
You wanted this, you wanted this

You wanted this, you wanted this,
You wanted this, you wanted this

Spineless coward, you're despicable,
Unforgivable,
You wanted their blood, now it's blood that you have,
Pouring from your veins into my own hands

You're despicable,
Unforgivable,
Fuck you waste of life, ending you is my goal,
Now I stand above your lifeless body as I put you in a shallow hole

8. Defined by Your Demise

There's no running from the punishment coming (coming)

No fleeing from the pain I must inflict now

My eyes aglow again with violent glee,
Cruelties filling every thought inside of me,
Hammer-like beating echoing inside my chest,
This fixation telling me to scorch your flesh

There's no running from the punishment coming,
There's no fleeing from the sentence I must hand down,
There's no running from the punishment coming,
Never in your life have you felt pain so profound

You won't survive,
Now your life will be defined by your demise,
I terrorize
As the cold blade bleeds you dry

My purpose is to find you and return the damage done,
Hunt you down, bend you to my will and drain your blood,
Find you, take you, bind you, tear you limb from limb,
Cries go unheard while I'm cutting you stem to stem

There's no running from the punishment coming,
Tie you down, show you pain and torment that knows no bounds,
There's no running from the punishment coming,
I won't be satisfied until you're in the ground

You won't survive,
Now your life will be defined by your demise,
I terrorize
Until you beg to leave your life behind

Pry open your eyes,
Show you what you deserve,
Terrorize your mind
Into realms of the absurd

Battered by the waves
Of unthinkable pain,
As one with blasphemy,
Now you pay for your treachery

Lost in the slaughter,
The anguish of your screams,
Through interweaving forms,
Blind, stark, unreasoning horror

Now you wish you never fucking lived

Now feel the terror like they did (like they did)

The last thing I want to do is kill you but it's still on my list

I can't forget, now you tremble like they did,
I can't forget, watch in horror like they did,
Torching you,
Breaking every limb,
Showing you a Hell
You thought could not exist

There's no running from the punishment coming,
There's no fleeing this sentence I must hand down

9. Master of the Longest Night

It has begun,
Taking on new and nightmarish life,
Casting off all mortal flesh now,
A new devotion
In service of all those below

Master of the longest night,
Born of obsidian,
Coldest of his kind,
Frost ravaged lifeless heart,
Master of the longest night,
Bringer of the starless sky,
Hellish scars adorn
The ones who give their lives now

Taking on new and nightmarish life,
In service of all those below,
He is the coldest of all his kind,
Bringer of the starless sky

Feel his presence watching
With lidless eyes,
Unmoving in their stare,
With your conscience stricken,
Without remorse,
Coming forth,
Leaving sickness

Master of the longest night,
Born of obsidian,
Coldest of his kind,
Frost ravaged lifeless heart,
Master of the longest night,
Bringer of the starless sky,
Hellish scars adorn
The ones who give their lives now

Taking on new and nightmarish life,
In service of all those below,
He is the coldest of all his kind,
Bringer of the starless sky

Master of the night

New lows will be reached and we will all follow lower,
A nightmare into life, no waking when it's over

Casting off
Mortal flesh,
This nightmare
Now has begun

This new nightmare now has just begun

In service to those below

Master of the longest night,
Born of obsidian,
Coldest of his kind,
Frost ravaged lifeless heart,
Master of the longest night,
Bringer of the starless sky,
Hellish scars adorn
The ones who give their lives now,
In service of those below

10. Vaguely Human

Horrid changes come,
Sickness takes effect,
Once you feel the plunge
Of jagged teeth into your neck

Embraced by disease,
Infected bloodstream,
All is laid to waste,
Parasites now reign

It's on their breath,
Undying desperation,
Decaying flesh,
Parasitic devastation

It's on their breath,
The rotting vile taste,
Our world is gone, we've all become
Vaguely human, vaguely human

So consumed with dread,
Lasting carnal thirst,
Nothing remains dead,
Unrelenting impulses

Programmed to cause hurt,
Blackened blood flows free,
Hope forever lost,
All the living forced to flee

This world is gone,
This world is

It's on their breath,
Undying desperation,
Decaying flesh,
Parasitic devastation

It's on their breath,
The rotting vile taste,
Our world is gone, we've all become
Vaguely human, vaguely human
