Bb
She reads to me by the 
F#              Eb
soft glow of candlelight, 
              Ab         Bb
speaking of angels and demons
                           F#
Instilled at such an early age, 
           Eb                   F#            Ab
with such fright, were these divine gifts of reason
Bb                  F#
I lie awake as her ghost 
                            Eb    
it still walks through the halls, 
     Ab              
and moves all around me,
Bb
Echoing warnings 
F#                   Eb
burned into me as a child, 
           Ab                       Bb      
that the sinner will pay with his life....

Bb
Sheltered in filth, 
      F#                    Eb
the windows they all bleed black, 
    F#        Ab
to hide such dementia
Bb
Inside of my mind 
        F#                  Eb
or the mind that I seem to lack, 
        F#           Ab 
no one pays close attention.
Bb                 F#                   Eb
I lie awake and I think of the simpler times, 
        Ab          Bb
before insanity found me
                   F#                     Eb
With a desire to unearth the dead in the night, 
F#         Ab      C#
making me feel so alive

           Ab                 F#
And now a part of me feels complete, 
         Ab                 C#
when I butcher these bodies
             Ab                   F#
Trophies of skin they fall at my feet, 
     Ab                  C#
all decaying and rotting
                 Ab                   F#
Sick pleasures fulfilled to me every time, 
         Ab              C#
I bring home a new slave
                 Ab                   F#
Mother said lost souls should all be saved, 
              Ab                     Bb
'cept from a madman and his empty graves....

                      F#                     Eb
Screams to me by the top of her lungs in my dreams, 
          F#             Ab
like I'm no more than a devil
Bb                    F#               Eb
As this hatred grows, I sorely feel a need, 
             F#           Ab     Bb
that starts here with my shovel
                 F#                      Eb
Prying open the lid I can still see her face, 
              F#           Ab   Bb
etched in my eyes here forever
                                 F#            Eb
I'll take you to my depths, and there I will desecrate, 
                F#        Ab    C#
it's got to be now or be never.

           Ab                F#
And now a part of me feels complete, 
        Ab                  C#
when I butcher these bodies
             Ab                    F#
Trophies of skin they fall at my feet, 
     Ab                   C#
all decaying and rotting
                Ab                    F#
Sick pleasures fulfilled to me every time,

I bring home a new slave
                  Ab                  F#

'cept from a madman and his empty graves....
