THE NIGHTMARE KING
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass and I'm all out of bubblegum."
Drag your tongue across jagged teeth
Taste the corruption of mortality
Chant my name as you die
Thus is the rise of brutality
Pluck the heartstrings with a misericord
I love to see you down on your knees
Steeple your hands and aim them at the sky
Crawl through the thorns and bleed for me
DROWN ME in blood in the mirror
Savor the pain I'm your nightmare king
DRAG ME down in the darkness
Goddamn it I'm your nightmare king
Scrape the blade across wasted veins
When everything you love is putrifying
Worship me like a dog
I am the god of hemorrhaging
Sacrifice the holy virgin of sin
Faithfully rape lacuna dreams
Suckle the laceration like a whore
In the cemetery we can sing
DROWN ME in blood in the mirror
Savor the pain I'm your nightmare king
DRAG ME down in the darkness
Goddamn it I'm your nightmare king
Stripped down and fuck your vibrant ghost
"What an excellent day for an exorcism."
Twisted nails of carrion hosts
Drive them deep into schisms
"Care for a little necrophilia?"
Murder me to live once again
Feast on flesh like jekylls in ecstasy
Worms writhe across the grave
Don't pretend to hate the blasphemy
Summon me with echoes of raven song
All those necrorgasmic screams
Ritualistic bare naked murder
Death comes to play on blackened wings
DROWN ME in blood in the mirror
Savor the pain I'm your nightmare king
DRAG ME down in the darkness
Goddamn it I'm your nightmare king
"I am the devil and I'm here to do the devil's work."
Drag your tongue across jagged teeth
Taste the corruption of mortality
Chant my name as you die
Thus is the rise of brutality
Pluck the heartstrings with a misericord
I love to see you down on your knees
Steeple your hands and aim them at the sky
Crawl through the thorns and bleed for me
DROWN ME in blood in the mirror
Savor the pain I'm your nightmare king
DRAG ME down in the darkness
Goddamn it I'm your nightmare king
Scrape the blade across wasted veins
When everything you love is putrifying
Worship me like a dog
I am the god of hemorrhaging
Sacrifice the holy virgin of sin
Faithfully rape lacuna dreams
Suckle the laceration like a whore
In the cemetery we can sing
DROWN ME in blood in the mirror
Savor the pain I'm your nightmare king
DRAG ME down in the darkness
Goddamn it I'm your nightmare king
Stripped down and fuck your vibrant ghost
"What an excellent day for an exorcism."
Twisted nails of carrion hosts
Drive them deep into schisms
"Care for a little necrophilia?"
Murder me to live once again
Feast on flesh like jekylls in ecstasy
Worms writhe across the grave
Don't pretend to hate the blasphemy
Summon me with echoes of raven song
All those necrorgasmic screams

Death comes to play on blackened wings
DROWN ME in blood in the mirror
Savor the pain I'm your nightmare king
DRAG ME down in the darkness
Goddamn it I'm your nightmare king
