Nails Lyrics by Benighted

Obscene Repressed

2020

Feeling paralyzed, crossed by waves of radiation
Malevolent roots invading the structure
Corrupted DNA
Dark essence of the centuries running through contaminated grounds
Threatening trees, carapace of bones, sharp and poisoned

Digging the surface
The mud filling the wounds
Merciless nature
Your treachery hidden behind a friendly face
Mutating, my skull wide open to the world, defenseless
Annoying sounds never stop, they consume my nerves

I broke them a thousand times
Cracked the ruins of my nails

Your yellow horns appear, greedily gnawing my feet
Feeding my genetic curse
Defying my bodily integrity
Like the claws of the sleeping beast inside your trunk
You crack the ruins of my extremities
Turn the scared child into a monster

I broke them a thousand times
Cracked the ruins of my nails

Enslaved to your will, in this new-born corrupted form
A tortured silhouette
A thick and cracked bark
Covering the fake scars inherited from a manipulated genealogy
Where lies become a legitimate truth
Where “who I am” can finally be buried
To endure the simple fact of being alive

I broke them a thousand times
Cracked the ruins of my nails
