Instruments of Torture

Mutilation, stretching while breaking on the wheel, Tied down spread eagle An iron bar breaks each limb. Soothing the crowd's thirst for misery Cheers of approval following each scream Breaking on the wheel Remove the broken body, spectators in wait The ultimate torment, slow death by burning at the stake. Tearing skin from the flesh, every blow must hurt Struck in the throat, not dead yet Body set to be burnt. In endless agony For all the accusers to see Choking, unable to see fastened to the stake, Fire is lit, flames take hold Death patiently waits.

Praise to the lord, the messiah of ignorance and false prophecy Teaching the rules of hatred, promising immortality. Let us pray to love our neighbor while Blessed bombs fall in place, entire races, Civilizations lost all in the name of god Beaten and dejected leader, consumed with holy sickness Promised land made free from pain Living gods failing, venomous words poisoning minds of clear thinking Leading the congregation into the silence of salvation Recycled ancient lies Fools try to warn the wise Faith in god to heal They'll be the first to die

I put the bodies in their places Place expressions on their faces, a headless torso Naked amongst the pile of flesh so sacred Conducting experiments to preserve forever Stages of dismemberment fluctuating From room to room is flowing the sweet odor of death Dissolving limbs, Boiling the flesh Power drill injecting acid into the brains of them Photos taken while dismembering

The blessed virgin opens her arms to thee On her bosom thy harden heart will be melted There thou wilt confess, heresy, blaspheming the saints and gilded glory Step on the altar Refusing all guilt giving allegiance not open Extended arms set to embrace Drawing near knives pierce the breast Gears slowly turning impaling spikes are set Asked once more to confess Priest bless the soul justifying their murder For god a sacrifice to Christianity, Doors re-opened, body removed sent to an underground river to wash the remains through. Diabolic engine of torment the jungfar Excited horror fills the audience chamber

Behold the Duke of Exeter Lying awake eyes wide open beholding the Instruments of pain Ankles set and wrists locked down, all the boards put in place Muscles tense when questioning begins soon fail during restraint wrists and shoulders Dislocated life fades away, The Duke of Exeter Racked at the pulley while beaten with cords Blood flows from the mouth while Boiling oil is poured

Hidden within pulsating under the skin Shift and turn rotten body infested with worms Victims of a roadside murder buried where they fell No one near to hear the screams No one left to tell A shallow grave marks the spot where parts of the dead find rest Stabbed in the throat, tongue cut out slowly Bled to death Quietly tucked deep inside Devouring bodies any size

Placed upon the barrel, a stone Rain falls from the crowd, smells of smoke and burning flesh are all that surround An iron hoop placed around the waist of the lifeless Body hung till dead before being committed To fire Gunpowder hung around their necks Clothes and limbs smeared with pitch Forced to wear a tar covered bonnet Burning the body for jesus, killing by holy design Reeds thrown on the platform bundled under each arm, crowds gather to witness the suffering of those left alive Fat and blood drip from the fingers explosions sever limbs Burnt in effigy

Suspended, sweat and blood fills the eyes The inquisitor mocks all answers Hoisted up, the pulley cables tighten Asked again, suddenly dropped Shoulders near dislocation, weights added to the feet Ropes tighten around the wrists Confession for a merciful death Denial is a slow execution The room of questions smothers the world Suffering in silence, broke by screams of pain Raised one last time, the last chance to confess Let go, then abruptly stopped The weight pulls the legs from their sockets Ropes dislocate the shoulders The body mangled, consumed with shock

New home now this blood stained cell Kept under lock and key until considered well Decomposing bodies lie near Putrid stench of death fills the air Living on the flesh of the dead, Conversating with a severed head Hearing screams from tortured scenes Punishments made on those in need Food is placed just out of reach Turning to the dead when its time to feed

A ritualistic sacrifice set up to pass judgement on the chosen ones A covenant blessed with blood Priests set with knives in hand Anxious believers look toward the sky Skin shaven clean Blood flowing Puncture wound Life fading Bodies dismembered by the hundreds Amongst the screams of bliss severed Limbs are ravenously devoured Baptizing the new in the blood of the feast of flesh Arms bound down Blood flowing Feast of flesh
