Skin By Skin

(álbum: Morbidity Triumphant - 2022)

You're out alone
You have no one
The streets are cold
Long gone the sun
Shelter is yours
Just come with me
Oh, I mean no harm
I just want to give you eternity

Step through my door
It's warm inside
Ignore the stench
Of rotting hides
This room is now
Your resting place
Where first to start?
Your hands or face?

Skin by skin
You've been chosen
Skin by skin
Interwoven
Know too late your time has come
The knife is out, the blood does run
Jugular, a blast of red
Not soon enough you join the dead
Skin by skin
You've been chosen
Skin by skin
Interwoven

Sewn together with pieces past
Eyeholes peering, mouth's vacant gasp
Flesh stripped, meat aside, in fly swarmed mounds
Screaming, flesh gone, teeth scattered around

Intersected strips of gore
Line the walls forevermore
Pieced together methodically
I lick the stitches as they bleed
Skin by skin
You've been chosen
Skin by skin
Interwoven
