A
She reads to me by the
F D
soft glow of candlelight,
G A
speaking of angels and demons
F
Instilled at such an early age,
D F G
with such fright, were these divine gifts of reason
A F
I lie awake as her ghost
D
it still walks through the halls,
G
and moves all around me,
A
Echoing warnings
F D
burned into me as a child,
G A
that the sinner will pay with his life....
F D F G A F D F G
A
Sheltered in filth,
F D
the windows they all bleed black,
F G
to hide such dementia
A
Inside of my mind
F D
or the mind that I seem to lack,
F G
no one pays close attention.
A F D
I lie awake and I think of the simpler times,
G A
before insanity found me
F D
With a desire to unearth the dead in the night,
F G C
making me feel so alive
G F
And now a part of me feels complete,
G C
when I butcher these bodies
G F
Trophies of skin they fall at my feet,
G C
all decaying and rotting
G F
Sick pleasures fulfilled to me every time,
G C
I bring home a new slave
G F
Mother said lost souls should all be saved,
G A
'cept from a madman and his empty graves....
F D
Screams to me by the top of her lungs in my dreams,
F G
like I'm no more than a devil
A F D
As this hatred grows, I sorely feel a need,
F G A
that starts here with my shovel
F D
Prying open the lid I can still see her face,
F G A
etched in my eyes here forever
F D
I'll take you to my depths, and there I will desecrate,
F G C
it's got to be now or be never.
G F
And now a part of me feels complete,
G C
when I butcher these bodies
G F
Trophies of skin they fall at my feet,
G C
all decaying and rotting

Sick pleasures fulfilled to me every time,
