Out of Respect for the Dead

Waking up in silence in a trench of rot Completely buried by the dead Their screams are silent now, the mission complete To forever be forgotten in this hole of hate The stench of my friends and family As a morbid reminder all over me Starting my ascent through the pile of twisted flesh I can't believe I'm still alive My intended grave looks so peaceful from above Another unknown pit in the forest of genocide Left alive Left alone I say farewell As the spirits call my name Gathered just like sheep For the cleansing of humanity Marched into the night Paraded to the sound of rapid fire Through the helpless screamins I heard them dropping one by one Absence of their trusted god As the dawn breaks the forest weeps Waking up in silence in a trench of rot Completely buried by the dead Their screams are silent now, the mission complete To forever be forgotten in this hole of hate Left alive Left to rot So I say farewell As the spirits call my name

Never felt a part of this gruesome world On the edge of what they accept Feeling so hateful and lost within Born in sin, heart of stone Rebel since the early days and always derailed Born and bred into the lords command Never trusting anyone but myself Cast the stone, break the seal Common sense declares They must die Overflowing life Purposeless, benign Murder in my blood A sweet arousing sight Flesh before my eyes Forever my destiny Torture in the air Stained by rot they rest As I walk among the pain My purpose now complete Murder in my blood A sweet arousing sight Flesh before my eyes Forever my destiny

Far below the living in a plain pine box I was put to rest for the their sanctuary The bells they ring but not for me Forced to pay my sins in holy remedy But my eyes still bleed And my hands are clinched Far below the sun Buried on these hallowed grounds Terror in their eyes at the sight of my remains Unearthly wounds and scars Ignoring my last wish to remain godless and free They wash their hands of me Exhume my bones and take me home Far from the cries of the dead Save my soul from this sacred ground I see the smiles of the dead I'm forced below against my will Reveled by illusions of my last will

Lurking in the shadows on the prowl again To satisfy my need for rotten limbs The moon is my companion shedding light upon the pale I dig and crawl in stinking soil to feast again The night is calm and quiet now, my grunts the only sound I found what I am looking for again Affection towards rotting flesh is my sick deed These people still need comforting and care My new friend unveiled Age and gender unknown The rush of desecration In my veins Forced to accept my command Death cannot be the end So I gather their bones for a feast Out of respect for the dead The night is calm and quiet now, my grunts the only sound The moon is my companion shedding light upon the pale Once again

Disrupted in my peaceful sleep By sounds familiar again Dormant spirits in this creaking house Come again for pleasure and pain Cold Afraid Dark Restless souls disrupting my sleep "They" claim the house as theirs And come alive at dusk Lost among the dead Revealing the horrors of afterlife Cold, still decaying "They" roam the night Afraid of changes disrupting their world Dark in mind and dark in heart Restless souls demanding to return again The ominous "They" Lost and ridden with grief Returning to obtain serenity Cold, still decaying "They" roam the night Afraid of changes disrupting their world Dark in mind and dark in heart Restless souls demanding to return again Lurking in the shadows awaiting the night to come Reliving life in an endless vortex of pain and suffering Trapped between the worlds of the living and the dead "They" cry out in frustration remembering past lives

Starved through years of worship and sin My dark side of life As my hunger grows my faith declines Lust for flesh stronger than god Perished through years of divinity Love to you is hate for me Raised to obey their fairytales - unquestionably Ridden with fear and whipped with words about sinners fate As my true self emerges violently Lust for god through blasphemy Blessed by the words of the fellow flock "Praise the newborn son!" But my faith is stronger than flesh and blood Death to you means life for me Revelling in sin amongst a pile of dead Piled against their idol on his cross of shame Darkness growing closer My fear is gone as death arrives Hatred growing stronger My dreams are real Now forever I shall burn Piled against their idol on his cross of shame

Stranger in a strange world, forgotten and alone Imagining a higher truth with me as the divine Searching high and low for the weak of mind To build my empire and revel in my law of dirt Scheming and illusive, my way of life Gathering my followers of truth Promising eternal life for those who obey Every twisted sick compulsive stray I tether them to silence and lash them into shape Moulding their minds to suit my paradise I'm in charge, they follow every wish and word Reversed psychology has now put me on their throne I'm glorified, deified Turned myself into god in their eyes I tether them to silence and lash them into shape Moulding their minds to suit my paradise Come and share my dreams Come and share my sins Live through my revelations My way is yours for life Scheming and illusive, my way of life Gathering my followers of truth Promising eternal life for those who obey Every twisted sick compulsive stray Come and share my dreams Come and share my sins Live through my revelations My way is yours for life

Gathered here again to embrace the night To summon spirit and beast The coven is my family through ties of blood Connecting heaven and hell Trading their lascivious thoughts for immortality Demons lurk in every soul biding their time Speaking in tongues and rolling their eyes In search for secrets and truth As the candles flicker and the walls cry blood The passage opens once again Set the beast free Embrace his hate Summoning the dead Summoning the dead Hollow eyes around me I smell their putrid breath Returning to what once was their home Relatives, fugitives, murderers and thieves Eager to return in human form Gathered here again to embrace the night To summon spirit and beast As the candles flicker and the walls cry blood The passage opens once again Trading their lascivious thoughts for immortality Demons lurk in every soul biding their time

I arise from the dark rotten soil Awoken from my restless sleep Slowly my limbs regain control again Claws of doom, crackling of bones I remember the days When I ruled all living, dead and foul Regaining my strength for centuries It is time to strike and rise Rise my friend Out battle awaits to be fought again My years of lust grows stronger by each day Raise the dead Take me to where our worlds collide Our force of death will conquer all that breathe With staggering steps I stumble through this land of ash, fire and gore Seeking my true companion of death His severed head beneath my feet I curse the gods of all living, dead and foul Forever trapped in this wasteland of grotesque glory Rise my friend Out battle awaits to be fought again My years of lust grows stronger by each day Raise the dead Take me to where our worlds collide Our force of death will conquer all that breathe Ripping through the night in anger, slashing through the fields Fields of black and dormant mud where blood once flowed Streams of fire glowing cold with an everlasting hope To redeem our fallen warriors and the dreams of nevermore Rise Raise the dead With staggering steps I walk across the lake of frozen blood Cursed to forever roam this land, my kingdom restored Rise my friend Out battle awaits to be fought again My years of lust grows stronger by each day Raise the dead Take me to where our worlds collide Our force of death will conquer all that breathe
