Dying Skin, Living Obsession Lyrics by Cannibal Abortion

Diminished to Subhuman Behavior

2018

Twas the night before the bloodshed
A family lived in peace
A mother, father, son, and daughter
Gathered in harmony
Little did they know what was soon to come
The following day, they would all be gone
Mother got ready for bed, she reminisced for days
When she was young, when she was sane
As the years went on, life paid it's toll
As she glanced at the mirror, truth was told
No longer lovely, just old and cold
Enraged with the thought that her youth was gone
She knew something must be done
That was the night all madness begun
Applying cosmetics, relentlessly, to bring back her youth
Caked on maquillage, would reveal the truth
She begins scratching and scarring her elderly skin
Removing the rough grooves with a sadistic grin
Shattering the mirror, at what she's become
Clutching the glass, ill intent at what must be done
Whispers drown her mind
Removal of life
Not of her own
But of family ties
It spoke to her
Sacrifice the life of your beloved
Provide me with the souls of 33 children
Gnaw, slash or break their bones
Sever their earthbound realm
I'll grant you beauty
But father awoke, at the sound of her chants
The devil has spoken
Their life lays in her hands
He tried to stop her, but failed instantly
As she speared through his heart, his blood on her hands is the last thing he'll ever see
"Son! Daughter! Come to me!" She yelled
As they walked up to her, oh how tender they felt
Penetrating their bodies with the edge of the blade
Savoring their Innocence, it's time to kill
×2Her body dripping in blood
Staining her skin of the ones that she loved
Maniacal laughter soon followed
