The Black Dahlia Murder
Apex
[Verse 1]
Bury them all 'neath heaping shovel fulls of lime
In shallow graves, the shreds of flesh dissolve with time
The stench of burning human flesh, a makeshift cremation
A shriveling fragment of death's grand design

I insist— the pleasure's all mine!

[Verse 2]
With orgasmic bliss, the human body is consumed
The loins are charred; the slabs of flesh, cut off and groomed
With zeal I dine upon the skin, enthralled with elation
The souls of my victims within me, entombed

[Chorus]
Palette wet with atrocity
I relish the last look in your eyes
Clutching your intestines, your scream echoes through me
Perfection: a murder divine

[Verse 3]
I hold the secrets of the dead within my grasp
As I poke and prod, your precious world is painted black
A cold controller of your fate, a twisted creation
Until I've met my fancy, I'll hammer and hack
[Chorus]
Palette wet with atrocity
I relish the last look in your eyes!

[Bridge]
As I'm blissfully showered in blood
I shake with violent rapture
As I gaze at my delicious feast
I cannot stop my salivation
My addiction to murder has peaked
Kneel only to my sick fixations
A complete symphony of your screams

O, the cruelty of death, I wield infinite

[Verse 4]
Lured by the cries of your damnation
I collect ornaments of the dead
Skin tingling with anticipation
I sever the last victim's head to be put on display

[Verse 5]
This mortal coil has bore unto me death's secrets
This forensic inquisition, orgasmic
Another trophy of my bloodfed psychosis
Another body to mangle, to ravage and explore
[Chorus]
Palette wet with atrocity
I relish the last look in your eyes
Clutching your intestines, your scream echoes through me
Perfection: a murder divine
