Lyrics
Burning Blood
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My face show no emotion
The mind of an animal
Behind human eyes
Restrained with a rope
Crudely tied to wrist and ankles
Eyes jellied from chemical injections
Devoid of all compassion
I place no value on human life
Body temperature drops rapidly
But death comes slow
Post-mortal muscle reflexes - repeatedly choked
Your torture brings me pleasure
I climax as I murder
A mass of empty flesh, chosen to die brutally
Not one has survived - my torture and abuse
Unbearable pain and cruelty
Hatred for all fucking life
Abducted, beaten and murdered
A slow, cold-blooded death
Bones have been boiled
And removed of all flesh
Your torture brings me pleasure
I climax as I murder
Tortured until your death
Loss of blood drains from you now
Out leaks the human soul
My face show no emotion
The mind of an animal
Behind human eyes
Devoid of all compassion
I place no value on human life
Body temperature drops rapidly
But death comes slow
Post-mortal muscle reflexes - repeatedly choked
Your torture brings me pleasure
I climax as I murder
Burning - I'm burning your blood
