Heartwork

Multifarious carnage Meretriciously internecine Sublime enmangling steelbath Of escheated atrocities Enigmatic longanimity of ruminent mass graves Meritorious victory, into body-bags now scraped... Regnant fleshpiles The dead regorged Osculatory majestic wrath This carnal forge Desensitized - to perspicuous horror Dehumanized - fresh cannon fodder... (Lead - Steer) Meritorious horror Perspicuous onslaught Dehumanized - cannon fodder Killing sanitized Slaughter sanctified Desensitized - to genocide Reigning corpsepiles Death regorged Sousing bloodbath Carnage forged... In the cold, callous dignity of the mass grave... (Lead - Amott) Multiferocious carnage Cruel, mendacious creed Sublime, murderous bloodbath Of fiscal atrocities Inexorable mettle in redolent consomme An opprobious crucible of molten human waste... Priapismic deathpiles Infinitely regorged The smelting butchery Of the carnal forge Desensitized - to pragmatic murder Dehumanized - into cannon fodder...

Prognathous gears grind So diligent and serrated they mesh Toothed cogs churn So trechant Against soft flesh Worked to the bone Up to the hilt Depredated Raw materialism To stoke the furnaces Toiling, rotting Life slowly slips away Consumed, inhumed In this mechanized Corruption line By mincing machinery Industrialised Pulped and pulverised Enslaved to the grind Blood, sweat, soil, tears Arbeit macht frei Grave to the grind Blood, sweat, soil, tears Arbeit macht fleisch Inimitable gears twist To churn a living grave Stainless cogs shredding Scathing pistons Bludgeon and flail Stripping to the bone Retund mandrels levigate Just raw material Your pound of flesh For the suzerain Toiling, rotting Life slowly dissipates Consumed, inhumed In a corruption line Mechanized By mincing machinery Industrialized Crunched and brutalised A grave to the blind Blood, sweat, soil, tears Arbeit macht frei Blood, sweat, soil, tears Arbeit macht fleisch

(Lick trade-off Amott/Steer/Amott/Steer) Parched with thirst our cup overfloweth With the crimson milk of human blindness In charnel towers of ivory besieged The bones of subjugation are picked clean In barren decadence, tears are the only affluence Welling eyes are indifferent, as the blind bleed Blood and tear - out damn spot out The fruits of perpetual decay Pouring the salts in open wounds - out damn spot out The scars remain, will stay perpetual decay Bloody hands never wash clean Abject misery to bleed Decadence to feed Out damn spot out Parched with thirst how the other half die Void of compassion our cup runs dry With a silver spoon born to dig communal graves The only consecration, the economics of pain In barren decadence, tears are the fuel of affluence Wells of blood run diffluent, a bitter harvest to reap...
