Deathmask Divine - The Black Dahlia Murder

Removal of the eyes

Gives my heart a saddened chill

I preserve them in formaldehyde

To gaze upon at will

How their greenish flecks befell me

That starlit winter's night

I lost all that I ever was

While locked within their sight

Before you sits a broken man

Your fragile pinkish heart in hand

Peculiar how it can hurt so bad

While love is only in the mind

I sew the gaping chestwork

Each thread is made with love

The bosom where I would rest my face

Is covered in your blood

Oh

This is not the end

You'll live on eternally

Oh

Lord it's not the end

My secret you'll forever be

I interrupt this transformation

A familiar lust swelling in me

A long and soulful kiss

The shades are drawn the living world

Can't see the coil of entrails

How curious the smell

So pungent to my eager nostrils

Hands further compelled

Oh

No it's not the end

Forever you'll be in my arms

I could never let you go

My darling

Cold and blue

I wonder are you dreaming still

Spread eagle

Blood removed

I weave the sucking trocar

Beneath your bruising skin

Tonight I'll lay beside you darling

In necromantic sin

Pinned to the bed sheets like a prized butterfly

You're mine

I hear your voice so precious

Echoing deeply inside

I did my best to love you

While you did live and breathe

This tender taxidermy

Trophy of the bereaved

I could never let you go

My darling

Cold and blue

I wonder are you dreaming still

Spread eagle

Blood removed

I weave the sucking trocar

Beneath your bruising skin

Tonight I'll lay beside you darling

In necromantic sin
