Mean and infectious, the evil prophets rise

Dance of the macabre as witches streak the sky

Decadent worship of black magic and sorcery

In the womb of the devil's dungeon, trapped without a plea

See thing in agony, necrosis is the fate

Pins sticking through the skin, the venom now sedates

Locked in a pillory, nowhere to be found

Screaming for your life but no-one hears a sound

"Help me!"

Prepare the patient's scalp, to peel away

Metal caps his ears, he'll hear not what we say

Solid steel visor riveted across his eyes

Iron staples close his jaws so no one hears his cries

The skull beneath the skin

The skull beneath the skin

Now you're drawn and quartered and your bones will make the 'X'

Symbol stands for poison and it's chained to your head

And as we fold your arms to make the holy cross

We cross the crucifix, religion has been lost

The skull beneath the skin

The skull beneath the skin

The skull beneath the skin
