The Art of Torture Lyrics


Cracking your jaw and pulling your teeth

Drowning in water till you can’t breathe

Streams of blood flow from your face

The life in your eyes begins to fade

Waking up in your own feces

In a dark and unknown place

Left alone for a long time

Now your will is broken

Whether truth or lies

Torture forces you to confess

Your will is broken

You’re close to death

Art of torture

Power and control

Truth or lies

Broken will

Torment and abuse

Pain and suffering

Life or death

You have to choose

Non-physical but mind destroying

Isolation will break their will

Detainees are held for months

Enhanced interrogation

Solitary confinement

Which wages war on soul and mind

This is called white torture

You won’t be the same

Whether truth or lies

Torture forces you to confess

Your will is broken

You’re close to death

Art of torture

Power and control

Truth or lies

Broken will

Torment and abuse

Pain and suffering

Life or death

You have to choose

Skinning alive and burning to death

Medieval methods will take your breath

Whipping the flesh from your bones

The wheel will find the truth

Hanging from chains and starving to death

Impaled to see the sky

The rack will break your back

Now you can’t withstand

Whether truth or lies

Torture forces you to confess

Your will is broken

You’re close to death

Broken will

Confess or die

The art of torture

Sooner or later uncovers

Truth and lies
