CREEPING FLESH LYRICS

1. Unravelled by War

Into squalor I was born
Somewhere long since forlorn
In a place shattered and torn
Non-existent to the world you know
At too young an age I saw battles waged
Extermination, slaughter, death, rape and rage
I could not take it anymore
For hate is such a force
Unwillingly I went to war
To settle the score
Enraged and high on adrenaline
Devoid of sympathy, like a machine
Little did I know, of what was next for me
As all went black, in a cloud of debris
Hands grips my feet
Lost trail of thought
Dust swirls all around me
I can't see
This can't be
Can anyone hear me scream?
Enraged and high on adrenaline
Devoid of sympathy, like a machine
Little did I know, of what was next for me
As all went black, in a cloud of debris
All so black
All so silent
All so still
Deep within

2. Lashed to the Walls of Hell

As dust settled from hidden C4
I'm shaken, shell-shocked and nearly deaf
Bludgeoned and chained to the floor
In a recondite space reeking of death
Reflections spring to mind, where am I
Whom are my captors, and wherefore?
Confined but determined to stay alive
Lost, but not a casualty of war
Tearing the flesh, from my wounds
Severing teeth, toes and fingers
Pinching hooks, cutting through
Injecting disease, establishing blisters
I can feel my flesh creeping
Putrefaction spreads
I can feel my flesh creeping
Inevitably the torture began
Lashed to the walls of hell
Bleeding through for hours on end
No screams will exit these halls
Not a single question asked
What can they possibly want from me?
I came to think of it at last
Just to watch me in agony
Tearing the flesh, from my wounds
Severing teeth, toes and fingers
Pinching hooks, cutting through
Injecting disease, establishing blisters
I can feel my flesh creeping
Putrefaction spreads
I can feel my flesh creeping
This can't go on, plans take shape
Before I'm foregone, I'll make my escape

3. The Fate of the Pawn

At light of dawn I had overcome
These distorted and misled pawns
By power I break the chains
Heart pounding, no longer constrained
Undiluted wrath swiftly takes command
Slitting throats in desperate resentment
Room by room drained of life like planned
With violence I'll get my vengeance
Disconcerted and terrified, I need a way out
Through gritty passages that I know nothing about
A faint breeze alerts my senses, hope ignites
At long last I see daylight
But the luminary source seems too bright
It's as if I can't distinguish whether I'm alive
Nothing seems clear to these overexposed eyes
Somethings amiss, of my dreams I'm suddenly deprived
What I saw had nothing to do with reality
In fact I was dying, barely able to breathe
Pinioned to the ground, they press my face into the mud
Shrieking I gasp for air, but choke in blood
Broken, torn apart, kicking in vain, screaming in pain
No words can describe the hate that I feel
But my body is so dilapidated
I give in to death
And with a camera to my face
I am decapitated
