You see your god’s light, in the glint of a knife

A hideous laugh, begins the end of your life

Bare your whole soul, to the heavens your cry

Metal meets skin, you will slowly die

Skinning of life

To be skinned alive

Strip by slow strip

God hides his eyes

Finally come to, with blood on your face

Hanging upside down, bearing full disgrace

A patchwork of pain, on the back and chest

Fluids slow to drain, to stay alert is the test

Faithful one, you’ll be a saint, but first you have to die

A strip of skin, blowing in the wind

Redden sap, rivers to your face

Excruciating, the knife starts to trace

Another strip, slowly flayed away

Another scream, within the depths of hell

You are weak, death you seek, the pain you can’t defy

Nerves searing, to your god I’ll deny

Rusted taint, a caustic caress

My blade is sin deep, exorcising flesh

Anthropomorphic inverted cross

Mockery of your ethereal god

A crimson serpent shedding its skin

Last throes of truth, from its tongue

Fading eyes to the sky

Heavens open wide

See your god’s light

In the glint of a knife
