Hand of Avarice Lyrics


Cutting flesh away

Gutting into you

Drained at sentencing

Running red

Cutting guilt away

Justice merciless

Final sentencing

Of condemned

Seething agony

Crying in misery

Twitching criminal

Bleeding guilt

Capital torture

Sadist’s orders

Hand of avarice

Cut from living sin

From the soil where the mandrake spills

Severed creeping from the tomb of fallen guilty

A rotting hand that lusts to kill again in avarice

And resplendent, bathe itself in blood and greed

Crawl inside of them, thirsting

Until the light of day

Stealing from their own purity

Blighted shadows

The handless corpse in the ground bleeds still

His ghost worming with a hatred of the living

Darkness spreading like a plague into their hardened hearts

Justice cannot wash his rotting death away

Crawl inside of them, thirsting

Until the light of day

Stealing from their own purity,

Blighted shadows

His soul is gone but his skull pleads still

Dead heart beating to the choking of his jury

The spectral hand of the condemned clawing at them

Grasping prospects of his fortune from the grave

Crawl inside of them, thirsting

Until the light of day

Stealing from their own purity,

Blighted shadows
