lyrics

It all seems unreal
An irony conceived by the devil himself
Save your blame

He was dying anyway
But now you should know that
He died, not in vain,
An aid to my quest for immortality

Is it deplorable to exploit the sick and dying?
I've relieved many of their suffering,
But this one...

No doubt he was dead
No pulse, no breath
Rigor mortis sets in

I once instilled fear in him,
Now he terrifies me
Leather straps tear into his
Wrists and his ankles
Straight to the bone

I've seen it with my own eyes,
But still it seems unreal
For the dead to become the living
I wanted preservation in life,
Not in death

Alive at first glance,
Yet reeking of death
No sign of life,
But a desire for my flesh
I've been dragged away,
And I've plead insane
But who will control this substance I've made?

I beg,
I pray for destruction
My life's work undone
