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

It has become a staple at concerts, usually played as the first song.
