The Skull Beneath the Skin

Mean and infectious, the evil prophets rise Dance of the macabre as witches streak the sky Decadent worship of black magic and sorcery In the womb of the devil's dungeon, trapped without a plea See thing in agony, necrosis is the fate Pins sticking through the skin, the venom now sedates Locked in a pillory, nowhere to be found Screaming for your life but no-one hears a sound "Help me!" Prepare the patient's scalp, to peel away Metal caps his ears, he'll hear not what we say Solid steel visor riveted across his eyes Iron staples close his jaws so no one hears his cries The skull beneath the skin The skull beneath the skin Now you're drawn and quartered and your bones will make the 'X' Symbol stands for poison and it's chained to your head And as we fold your arms to make the holy cross We cross the crucifix, religion has been lost The skull beneath the skin The skull beneath the skin The skull beneath the skin
