lyrics

I did what I had to do to you
Limb from limb you lay strewn apart
Intrusion, confusion
Now run little rabbit, run
To sleep with my demons
Now look what you've made me become
My fingers caressing, the cold of this lifeless form

Prying eyes taunt and torture
At these hands, they are painted crimson
They dine with disorder,
O'God why’d he have to die

It’s no surprise
That you'd slip up
A failure who'll never be saved
A cursed existence
Only destined to be depraved

Until death do us part

An impression sealed in disaster
This primal lust, your one true master
You know not what dwells within

A date with death is sealed
As the prey scamper and cower
The devil makes a deal
The predator shall be devoured.

It is insane
To think that our story will see such an ending
Primally enslaved
Our debt to death shall never be paid

Why does God give them the gift of life
And curse me to take it away

I refuse to meet the gallows
I refuse to meet your God
I refuse to meet the gallows
I refuse to meet your God

It is done, recluse in shadow
Follow my voice, we'll see tomorrow

so I seen these guys live and Iowa City with Oceano and a couple other bands for the carnifex tour ,picked up the newest album and talked with the drummer for a little while, he's a pretty cool and humble person but anyway after purchasing their newest album I found an EP and codex of Flesh on bandcamp and let me just say this band is life changing when it comes to this type of music this is the freshest sound I've heard from this genre in at least 5 years,keep slamming homies smitrofiddy
