The Murderer's Pact - Cannibal Corpse

Coercion and threats

Made their demands

Held the past over my head

One mistake has made me their tool

Blackmailing a means to the end, I’m forced into the pact

Murderer

Is that what I am?

Homicide

How can I stop this?

Not a violent man but now I’m forced to kill

Seems to be no other way

Trapped by an accident, tragic and fatal

The crime was unintentional, but this I cannot prove

Murderer

Is there no way out?

Suicide

Is that the answer?

Desperation

Deal has been made

No turning back

I’m bound to kill by the murderer’s pact

Steel myself fot the task at hand

Preparing the tools that I need

Sharpen the blades, make the kill quick

Extortion drove me to the deed, I take from it no joy

Murderer

Now I will do this

Homicide

I have made my choice

Sins of the past

Haunt me today

Should have confessed

Motive concealed

Undetected

Hunting him down

His life will end

I’m bound to kill by the murderer’s pact

Thrust of the blade repulses

Commit the heinous crime

Stabbing him repeatedly

Gouge his neck, slash his face

See his look of terror

He knows his time has come

Cannot show him mercy

Make him die, finish it

Blood on the knife

His body slumps

Corpse left to rot

The deed is done

But in my mind

There is no peace

Two dark secrets

That I must keep

I’m bound to kill by the murderer’s pact
