The Black Dahlia Murder Lyrics - Nocturnal (2007) Album

Nocturnal (2007)

1. Everything Went Black

Crawling the walls through every crack and crevice
teems blackness washing over the windowpanes painting the buildings in between
creeping down the alley ways consuming every street
soundless swarm of nothingness sure to doom us all

pulling screaming earthlings into its toothless jaws
endlessly beginning spreading with no sign of stop
horror of horrors truly maddening in size
running just prolongs the end inevitably it strides

where has it come from? how can it be stopped?
so quickly we're to meet our end our empire we have lost
karmatic Armageddon no religion could foresee
a planet once forsaken not even a memory

streetlights bend into the void cars enveloped whole
darkness deeper than a blindman's sleep soon to paint the world
insatiable its hunger it drinks the sea without a belch
stretching to the other side where it is sure to meet itself

unearthly vacuum devouring the hourglass now empty
its time to say goodbye watching your life flash before mortal eyes
terror fills your heart screams of anguish greet your ears
living death voracious insidious impervious to damage we are slaughtered as if lambs.



2. What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse

This twisted wretched place shadowed by the utmost darks of hell
in dreams of black beyond the bounds of a withered witch's spell
where the doors surely are locked when the sun threatens to wane
where shamblers dwell in dim moon light beyond the warmth of day

liars line the roads at dawn watchful eyes are upon you held
sacred weapons to the sacred revealed to be unleashed upon the council of hell
blood flows down the streets at night where wolves cry out for flesh
where a horrible curse taints the woodlands nearby with the forms of the walking dead

unholy inversion of hope twisting the faith of the meek into hate
driven insane by the dark one to bring forth the foul biddings he speaks
the undead are among us at dawn they shrink back to their silken beds
they dance by night and drink the blood of a child's broken neck

his spires are growing taller still their shadows stretching throughout the land
freeing the evils that sleep within the weaker minds of man

into the tower never go the horrors multiply
gears can mince the strongest ones leaving heroes paralyzed
the rivers flow with poison the sands swallow you whole
the ghouls that roam this darkened wood are thirsting for your throat



3. Virally Yours

The sound of vomiting to my ears like singing
now I am beginning to become erect
with illness I am obsessed in the beds of the fallen I rest
a fixation amplified the smell here is what I like best

feverishly vombing the buckets of waste wrapping myself in the filth-ridden sheets
raping the shells of the comatose to fulfill my needs

photographing bedsores cultured by my sick neglect
it's more than a job it's a love for me to walk this close with death
when you hear a flat line you know surely I'll be near
to when the reaper's sickle is drawn I am ever aware

I wish I could pull these strings in death there are finer things
malpractice forever be my bitter name

how quickly life does fade away
but a flip of the river mans coin
could send you screaming to your grave

grief stricken family watches on ceaseless prayers for an only son
"I'm afraid that nothing can be done" the moment has finally come
the wrath of a god exemplified to the pearly gates he'll soon arrive
to leave here his husk in this room of white I'm quivering at thought

pull the plug I'm begging you take the ride to the cold and blue
the reapers yellowed lichen fingers aims ever so true
the orgins of disease to be witnessed in my dreams
the flooding of the blackest blood to quence my fetid needs



4. I Worship Only What You Bleed

Oh its flowing through me combusting with contempt
rationality abandoning chemically lead astray
stepping outside the confines of this circle bane of society become
I'm about to cross the line and take a life nothing can stop me now

murderous functioning an animal within me speaks
nothing but blood could satisfy these carnal needs

I am your master superior I reign
poised just above you on this death distorted chain

the need to kill transcends temptation I'm sick and in need of blood
withdrawals haunt me taunt me sickly baiting my deeds can never be undone

I am your shepherd cloaked in obscenity heed
these sickening words I worship only what you bleed
I am your master superior I reign
poised just above you on death distorted chain



5. Nocturnal

Between the lies our dead language tongues
before the dawns our hearts they shall hunt
the smell of blood excites the nostrils
at first cut the sanguinary worship of red

spraying punctures a sight so divine
clutching her carcass face frozen in time
a distorted dialect for the draining of veins
to the flooding of bed sheets with sick crimson rain

a warped diction of scriputres befouled
traditions steeped within disgraces reviled
father unholy one to your night realm we bow
nocturnal majesty sworn to black we'll always be

damnation's diction a deadly disclosure
our poisons in their goblets drip
how perfectly hideous so eloquently scribed
each scripture so skillfully sick

parchments scabbed over with plasmatic prose
prophesize permanent night
the words of sheer blackness paint ebony my soul
and bestow me with infernal might

a warped diction of scriptures befouled
traditions steeped within disgraces reviled
father unholy one to your night realm we bow
nocturnal majesty swo
rn to black we'll always be
hatred and persistence destined to see
a complete eclipse of that hated sphere the sun

by the light unspoken
this language of brutality
enraptured I have become unholy
nights arms welcome me



6. Deathmask Divine

removal of the eyes gives my heart a saddened chill
I preserve them in formaldehyde
to gaze upon at will
how their greenish flecks befill me
that starlit winters night
how I lost all that I ever was
while locked within their sight
before you sits a broken man
your fragile pinkish heart in hand
peculiar how it can hurt so bad
while love is only in the mind
I sew the gaping chestwork
each thread is made with love
the bosom where I would rest my face
is covered in your blood
no
this is not the end
you'll live on eternally
oh
lord its not the end
my secret you'll forever be
I interrupt this transformation
a familiar lust swelling in me
a long and soulful kiss
the shades are drawn the living world cant see
the coil of entrails
how curious the smell
so pungent to my eager nostrils
hands further compelled
no
no its not the end
forever you'll be in my arms
I could never let you go
my darling cold and blue
I wonder are you dreaming still
spread eagle blood removed
I weave the sucking trocar
beneath your bruising skin
tonight I'll lay beside you darling in necromantic sin
pinned to the bed sheets like a prized butterfly
you're mine
I hear your voice so precious echoing deeply inside
I did my best to love you
while you did live and breathe
this tender taxidermy
trophy of the bereaved



7. Of Darkness Spawned

pretenders to the throne kneel before him
appalling wretched demon king
praise be to us his children
spawns of evils reckoning
doomed from the inception
claiming fire as our home
licked by flames our steel grows
stronger to be forged in hate forevermore
a hellish scorn quickly approaches violent climax
infernal legions the time nears when we'll strike
the shadows serving to enshroud us
our blackened hearts
those forgotten looming just beyond their sight
the blood of pariahs through our veins
sin and hell our mainstay
forever to remain
o to ye wicked ones
and o to blood a reapers song
demons born of mans sickest desire
those of the darkness spawned
fires of hell I stoke thee high
through the open gates ever so wide
bury me in sin
the daggers have been raised
now lets begin
the margins of sanity blur into night
as one will move beyond the light
murder effortlessly
without a tear
our motives to them never clear
damn this liars world
we are the truth you've all awaited
impaling holy fallacy
the filthy blood of Christian seed
akin to the looming the serpent
we've patiently anticipated
the time
to rise
is upon us
my lord I kneel before you now paint me bloody red
bathing in blasphemy I beat the path that's traveled less
the forgotten your minions our souls of black
we are thousands in the darkness waiting to attack
infernal legions their heads shall be your prize
trophies to our dominions of conquests only fantasized
o to ye wicked ones
and o to blood a reapers song
demons born of mans sickest desire
those of the darkness spawned
fires of hell I stoke thee high
through the open gates ever so wide
bury me in sin
the daggers have been raised
o the dance of death she's a sweet one
to victory we shall drink



8. Climactic Degradation

Devastate leave them weeping in your wake a family's broken dreams with
gloved hand I separate mutilate them carve them up bring them to their knees
the powers of a knife at hand if it breathes it fucking bleeds mankind end
time disgusted with this race I pluck them from the universe pawns in my
favorite game cut them all down completely randomized never a clue nor a
trace is left identity disguised I measure joy in suffering with a rope and
blade I maim humiliate these fallen souls this earth of sick disgrace
climactic degradation rapture in blood achieved suffocate them rip them rape
them make them fucking scream orgasmic mutilation on terror I do feed
annihilate this bastard race I'll make them bleed for me I'm taking you down
with me into this hell of hells stabbed in the throat sputtering blood my
need is never quelled you must stand here before me my judgement ends in
death I stand above your broken bodies face speckled in red how sweet it is
to revel in your flesh I won't stop until the last is dead



9. To A Breathless Oblivion

the chair's been kicked a rope tied to the rafters
blue faced and broken necked I sigh
relieving my vision from the sick mocking stare
of that hated sun burning the sky
slumped like a headless scarecrow
cold and limp against the wall
blood paints a pattern of rorschach's design
thawing the winter that burdens this heart
shit stained and shameful
an exit in disgrace
not a splash but just a ripple left
I end this life in vain
in vain
in the dead of the darkness I breach the still lake
toward the reflection of the moon
the night colored liquid arresting my lungs
finally at peace in this watery tomb
destroy this fragile body
to be gorged upon by worms
not a splash just a ripple is left
in the wake of my merciless scorn
beyond those cursed stars above
lies the answer that I seek
on the backs of bullets rides my name
longing to kiss my cheek
resentfully decline
retire this hated life
without guilt I break these veins
carved with salvation's knife
turn not away avert not your face
this is how it was meant to be
in silence found hanging there 'bove a pool of waste
the beauteous workings of mortality
no one can truly touch another parallel never to cross
pointless fumbling sad mistake only capable of pain



10. Warborn

amidst a swirling din of smoke and screaming
on the battlefield born reared on the teat of my dead mother war
hardened to stone through abuse mocked beaten and scorned
a bayonet severed umbilical cord
the wind sings its sweet lullaby through
a black and hollowed ribcage
I'm to die in battle divine with the flames as my grave
this realm of inhuman carnage
where the blood eternally rains
to my brothers who've fallen before me
I will walk with you again
This is my demented playground
the horizon is howling ablaze
a skeletal village illuminates the sky
as fire destroys their grains
with glee I rape and torture
my pleasure is inflicting pain
with a vigor unholy ill fight to my doom
till I've vanquished the Christian's gods ways
oh it must be such a different world
to which those on the outside exist
at least I know who loves me here
no delusions all weakness dismissed
an era of inhuman tragedy
to be ushered by my iron hand
the ovens bellowed to crematory highs
to dispose of the god fearing man
the wind sings its sweet lullaby through
a black and hollowed ribcage
I'm to die in battle divine with the flames as my grave
this realm of inhuman carnage
where the blood eternally rains
to my brothers who've fallen before me
I will walk with you again
