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

Trophies of skin they fall at my feet,

all decaying and rotting
Eb C#
Sick pleasures fulfilled to me every time,
Eb G#
I bring home a new slave
