---

Gallows rope around my neck

First the crack and then the stretch

Mad I'm not a man possessed

A beast so black fo wretchedness

Cut its eye out, string it's neck

Etched upon my mind's descent

Void emotionless remorse

Gato Negro, soul is yours

Watching

Stalking

Plotting

Hatred

Violence

Blackest

Gato

Torture

Solo: BG

perched upon the heads of boar

Patch of white that soon will morph

The alcohol transforms the pain

Anxiety and pure disdain

Lives its life under my feet

It steals my breath when I'm asleep

Tormentor of my horrid soul

Unleashing dread and mind control

Watching

Stalking

Plotting

Hatred

Violence

Blackest

Gato

Torture

I, drink your pain

And you, you never complain

Its love my personal violence upon you

Chorus:

Gato Negro

Gato Black (x2)

Solo: PD

Returning nightmare of control

A cat so black, an emptied soul

Driving me to drunkenness

An altered man my mind ferments

I raise the hatchet, end it's time

Hand of spouse brings raging mind

Fire burning, pure disdain

Buried hatchet splits her brain

I, hubris to doom

and you, a basement tomb

A solitary eye of fire

Repeat Chorus
