Grizzled Finale Lyrics

by Benediction

Offended by unscathed exterior


Unblemished form provokes hysteria

Self disgust will overpower

Overriding pain acceptance

Preservation of your cursed hide

Submits to mutilation


Revel in your attempts

To create the ultimate pain

Death would undermine

Your frenzied theatrics

No wish for final curtain


Or grizzled finale

Pallor of your healthy flesh

Gives the undesired effect

You'd rather have it raw and crusted

Reach for the sulphuric acid


Writhe in burning agony

Powerless to reject

Scarred contentedness

To ensure pleasure lingers

Amputate your fingers


Revel in your attempts

To create the ultimate pain

Death would undermine

Your frenzied theatrics

No wish for final curtain


Or grizzled finale

As awareness plummets

Into cloudy nothingness

Enact the final scene

Gargling nitro-glycerin
