hymn for the wretched
Singer:black dahlia murder, the
we are the blackness of the night
cold wind that cuts your flesh
we are the enemy praying for your certain death
in the stillest hours we awaken
children of the blackest seed
reared on murder and deceit
we are the thorns of human woe
where death and hatred lurk
when daybreak no more comes
the stench of the deceased
your father's secret shame
our violent wrath shall be unleashed
we feast on blood and the weakness of your kind
from the haunted depths we have arisen to slither as the snake
children of the blackest seed
reared on murder and deceit
we are the thorns of human woe
where death and hatred lurk
when daybreak no more comes
lurking legion of the obscene
unheard forever in between
the wretched and the insane
the razor; the bullet; the length of rope
the razor; the bullet; the length of rope
a lapse of sanity plummets to earth below
we are the blackness of the night
cold wind that cuts your flesh
we are the enemy praying for your certain death
in the stillest hours we awaken
we are the sliver in your god's feeble hand
from the deepest cracks we came
for aeons we have lurked and for aeons we shall remain!
