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 befall me that starlit winters night

How I lost all that I ever was while locked within their sight

Before you sits a broken man

With 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

No, 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

How pungent to my eager nostrils hands further compelled

No, 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 eagled 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 echoing so 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 eagled blood removed

I weave the sucking trocar beneath your bruising skin

Tonight I’ll lay beside you darling in necromantic sin
