Cephalectomy - The Spectre, the Madman and the Undying Corpse Lyrics


The axe-weilding madman

The undying corpse

The grasping spectre

As i have grown so has my fear.... The cold in the back of your mind...

The knowing that it is all coming to a very slow and agonizing end

That that feeling is no longer just a shiver but something realized

The grasping spectre

Its petrifying touch

Was how it all began

The night she came to me, in my dark hallowed hall

Like a fogs fading mist she entered my vision

With a cold sweep of her arm lay her hand upon me

Pain filling my ears, i fell to my knees

Blood from my nose, salty to my lips.. Screaming!

Numbing cold penetrating my very entirety

Suddenly she was gone, my mind numb with ((eerie shock!))

Since that cursed night she has often come to me

Sometimes in fear, sometimes in sorrow.. Screaming!

There is no way back, i'm loosing grasp on myself

Madness steps in as sanity's hold begins ((fading to black!))

I sought solace in others.

Those who may help her cease

The compasionate caring friends

A devoted father of the faith

The ever observant brain shrink

They have all failed!

She comes to me at night

Here in my tiny padded cell

The caring compasionate friends

The devote father of faith

The screaming never ends!

They have all failed!

In this sanitarium.. In this jacket

He came to my bed.. I lay strapped

The empty eyes of dementia promise me salvation

Through the pitch forest.. Fleeing the jacket

We run endlessly.. No longer strapped

Through the whipping woods she came to me.

No longer in fear and no longer in sorrow but now filled with rage

I could do not but collapse, in agony and fear

My ears filled with blood, my eyes with white pain

I have nothing more for her.. My mind is shut

Through endless woods i followed my releaser until we could run no more

We stood in the dark, desperately gasping for breath

The moon illuminating, only forms of shadows

He was watching me, intently with a burning gaze

"She is making me do this, she brought us here.. A curse upon your soul!"

The gleam of steal caught my eye

How beautiful it is in the moonlight

"The touch is her curse, foolish bastard!"

It is in his hand

The axe weilding madman

"Die!"

I must flee!

Through woods and whips

Run blind in terror

Quicken your pace

No need for haste

The man behind you

Will hack off your face. (repeat and on the second time sync vocals for last line.)

Death follows closely, with no reluctance, for the work to be, done on this relentless night

The grasping spectre

The axe-weilding madman

Footing gives way, to the wet forest floor, as i grasp for a, hold to right myself and escape

The loathsome spectre

The death weilding madman

One axe to the back

Its relentless attack

The man behind me

Lunatic of her making

Slowly i am set free

As i had grown so has my fear. The cold in the back of your mind

The knowing that it is all coming to a very slow and agonizing end

That that feeling is no longer.. Why will death not set me free

A curse upon my soul

No freedom in death

The undying corpse

There is no release...
