  Bb   F#x3
Eb  F# Ab
BbShe reads to me by the 
F#soft glow of canEbdlelight, 
speaking of anAbgels and deBbmons
Instilled at such an early F#age, 
with such fEbright, were these divF#ine gifts of rAbeason
BbI lie awake as her gF#host 
it still walks through the hEballs, 
and mAboves all around me,
BbEchoing warnings 
F#burned into me as a cEbhild, 
that the siAbnner will pay with his liBbfe....
F#  Eb  F#  Ab  Bb  F#  Eb  F#  Ab
BbSheltered in filth, 
the wiF#ndows they all bleed bEblack, 
to hF#ide such dAbementia
BbInside of my mind 
or the mF#ind that I seem to lEback, 
no one pF#ays close attAbention.
BbI lie awake and I tF#hink of the simpler tEbimes, 
before iAbnsanity founBbd me
With a desire to unF#earth the dead in the nEbight, 
F#making me fAbeel so aC#live
And now a pAbart of me feels comF#plete, 
when I buAbtcher these bodiesC#  
Trophies of sAbkin they fall at my fF#eet, 
all dAbecaying and rottingC#  
Sick pleasures fuAblfilled to me every tF#ime, 
I bring hAbome a new slaveC#  
Mother said lost Absouls should all be sF#aved, 
'cept from a mAbadman and his empty graBbves....
Screams to me by the tF#op of her lungs in my dEbreams, 
like I'm nF#o more than a dAbevil
BbAs this hatred grows, F#I sorely feel a nEbeed, 
that starts hF#ere with my sAbhovelBb  
Prying open the lF#id I can still see her fEbace, 
etched in my eF#yes here foreAbverBb  
I'll take you to my depths, and tF#here I will deEbsecrate, 
it's got to be nF#ow or be nAbever.C#  
And now a pAbart of me feels coF#mplete, 
when I bAbutcher these bodiesC#  
Trophies of sAbkin they fall at my feF#et, 
all dAbecaying and rottingC#  
Sick pleasures fAbulfilled to me every tF#ime,

Bb F#

Eb F# Ab

She reads to me by the

F# Eb

soft glow of candlelight,

Ab Bb

speaking of angels and demons

Instilled at such an early age,

Eb F# Ab

with such fright, were these divine gifts of reason

Bb F#

I lie awake as her ghost

it still walks through the halls,

and moves all around me,

Echoing warnings

F# Eb

burned into me as a child,

Ab Bb

that the sinner will pay with his life....

F# Eb F# Ab Bb F# Eb F# Ab

Sheltered in filth,

F# Eb

the windows they all bleed black,

F# Ab

to hide such dementia

Inside of my mind

F# Eb

or the mind that I seem to lack,

F# Ab

no one pays close attention.

Bb F# Eb

I lie awake and I think of the simpler times,

Ab Bb

before insanity found me

F# Eb

With a desire to unearth the dead in the night,

F# Ab C#

making me feel so alive

Ab F#

And now a part of me feels complete,

Ab C#

when I butcher these bodies

Ab F#

Trophies of skin they fall at my feet,

Ab C#

all decaying and rotting

Ab F#

Sick pleasures fulfilled to me every time,

Ab C#

I bring home a new slave

Ab F#

Mother said lost souls should all be saved,

Ab Bb

'cept from a madman and his empty graves....

F# Eb

Screams to me by the top of her lungs in my dreams,

F# Ab

like I'm no more than a devil

Bb F# Eb

As this hatred grows, I sorely feel a need,

F# Ab Bb

that starts here with my shovel

F# Eb

Prying open the lid I can still see her face,

F# Ab Bb

etched in my eyes here forever

F# Eb

I'll take you to my depths, and there I will desecrate,

F# Ab C#

it's got to be now or be never.

Ab F#

And now a part of me feels complete,

Ab C#

when I butcher these bodies

Ab F#

Trophies of skin they fall at my feet,

Ab C#

all decaying and rotting

Ab F#

Sick pleasures fulfilled to me every time,

Ab C#

I bring home a new slave

Ab F#

Mother said lost souls should all be saved,

Ab Bb

'cept from a madman and his empty graves....
