Letra de The Abhorrent Art
Condemned
Yet before I cast the befouled
Contents of my mind across the wall
Yet before I cast the befouled
Contents of my mind across the wall
I wish to unburden my soul
That fateful eve we found ourselves in the shadow of an ivory cathedral
Compelled to behold the ghastly grave of a ghoul
And extract an artifact
In an effort to quell life’s ceaseless ennui
We have descended into depravity
The abhorrent art of grave robbery
Crack the lid, apex of our endeavor
Round the neck of this corpse lay our treasure
And when I seized the jade amulet it began
Echoing through the graveborn mists as if calling from the abyss
Distant baying - Colossal entity hellbent on slaying
And the foreboding gaze of an unnaturally well preserved corpse
A haunting presence of chilling malevolence shattered our solitude night after night
Baleful shades, creeping moonlight, and that accursed growl
I had an inkling that we were jointly going mad
Until the beast reared its loathsome head
Bloodcurdling screams shook me from sleep
Shreds of my mangled partner littered the streets
The assailant flashed demonic eyes and bayed as it took to the sky
No doubt the same fate would befall me
Lest I somehow break the curse
Once again in the shadow of that ivory cathedral
Crack the lid, unveiling the vile thing caked with fresh blood
And shreds of flesh
I cast inside the cursed jade amulet
Startled awake by the whirring wings and
Torturous baying of that horrific thing
A swift demise is the only mercy this world has left to offer
Before I find myself betwixt those cursed teeth
With this revolver, I embrace my fate and choose to obliviate
That fateful eve we found ourselves in the shadow of an ivory cathedral
Compelled to behold the ghastly grave of a ghoul
And extract an artifact
In an effort to quell life’s ceaseless ennui
We have descended into depravity
The abhorrent art of grave robbery
Crack the lid, apex of our endeavor
Round the neck of this corpse lay our treasure
And when I seized the jade amulet it began
Echoing through the graveborn mists as if calling from the abyss
Distant baying - Colossal entity hellbent on slaying
And the foreboding gaze of an unnaturally well preserved corpse
A haunting presence of chilling malevolence shattered our solitude night after night
Baleful shades, creeping moonlight, and that accursed growl
I had an inkling that we were jointly going mad
Until the beast reared its loathsome head
Bloodcurdling screams shook me from sleep
Shreds of my mangled partner littered the streets
The assailant flashed demonic eyes and bayed as it took to the sky
No doubt the same fate would befall me
Lest I somehow break the curse
Once again in the shadow of that ivory cathedral
Crack the lid, unveiling the vile thing caked with fresh blood
And shreds of flesh
I cast inside the cursed jade amulet
Startled awake by the whirring wings and
Torturous baying of that horrific thing
A swift demise is the only mercy this world has left to offer
Before I find myself betwixt those cursed teeth
With this revolver, I embrace my fate and choose to obliviate
