lyrics

The cell slams shut. The inmates lick their lips.
They crave my fear, but they have no idea!
I am not trapped, in this place with them,
it is they who, are trapped in here with me!

This demonic spirit that crawls beneath my putrid flesh,
commands me to feed it the blood of my victims.
The more lives I take the more powerful I become.
With every murder I commit I gain more glory.

This force in me, is sweeter than blood.
It speaks to me: “Your pain has just begun.”

As night falls upon us, the demon leaves me,
to cut the power, of this penitentiary.
Now cell Block ...A,
has become ...a,
hunting ground for ...a,
version of myself that I don’t recognize.

The air is thick with the iron smell of blood,
the walls and floors are painted with my art.

This force in me, is sweeter than blood.
It speaks to me: “Your pain has just begun.”

My hands, tremble with shock, from the, continues impacts,
as I, stab and slash, my victims, to death.

The guards are, rendered unconscious, by this dark, apparition,
Making them, easy prey, for my blades, to shred apart
The inmates, flee in terror, as they see, my horror,
eyes rolled back, dripping with blood, enveloped by, tentacles of shadow.

As I track down, the last survivors, of my concrete, playground,
I feel a sharp, stab in my chest, as the demon, turns on me.
Used by this fiend, now discarded, I lay in a pool of my blood,
The demon fades, into the walls, that once were my, Canvases of Death.
