Lyrics: The Black Dahlia Murder. Spite Suicide.

Terror be thy name
Burning thine bridge
And death the same

A year to drain my innocence
And course it through
Your blackened veins

Oh, Demoness
What has our daughter become?
(Oh, Demoness)

Trash for the maggots to eat?
What color eyes should be
Staring at me in my dreams?

Abomination born in this union of hate
(Killed in the name of the free)
And of our son to the sickle he clung
A featureless face for your nightmarish dreams

Dilate, extract
Dilate and bury it all

Mother, vampiric mistress of night-fed blood
Who pets her child's head from a grave

(Demon)
Enchantress of evil profound
Dead and nameless, dead
(A noose to choke the memories from me)

Addicted to those forbidden hands
Thrust deep inside her helpless hull

(Scrape)
Scrape it all away
Vacuum these pictures from my brain
Scrape it all away

How I shall laugh once you have died?
How I will sleep once you've been destroyed?
(Destroyed, destroyed, destroyed, destroyed)

Dilate, extract
Dilate and bury it dead

Mother, vampiric mistress of night-fed blood
Who pets her child's head from a grave

(Demon)
Enchantress of evil profound
Dead and nameless, dead
(A noose to choke the memories from me)

Dead
