The Faceless - The Ghost of a Stranger (With Lyrics)

From their debut album Akeldama (2006)

Lyrics:
Infatuated with the corpse
An exact image of what it was just a moment ago
A ball gag suppresses the last breath that it ever took
My body is bathed in the warmth of blood
never thought that it would
have kept me warm on this very fateful night
But now I know that those screams were not of pain but they were my ecstasy
Its white skin is illuminated under pale moonlight
Reminiscent of fresh snowfall
The patterns formed by shadows and its hair make each square inch unique
My lips still burn from the last time that I uttered its proper name
Those thin wrists seem to melt in my hands
My flesh on its flesh with gravity on my side
I should, but won't, tread lightly on it
My garments lay in shreds with the last of my humanity
Brushing the hair from its face I am locked into a dead stare
Its open pupils act as a mirror and they are reflecting back at me
Not who I am but, what I have become
I pledge allegiance to this husk, giving it all that I've got
Pushing my power in
And absorbing its life as mine, becoming one with it
I unclasp the ball gag and inhale its death

This music is the best. No doubts, what-so-ever.

@thedeersqad If you like The Faceless then go check out Severed Savior's album 'Servile Insurrection', it's (somewhat) similar lol. And The Faceless has a new song out, it's called The Eidolon Reality if you haven't heard it yet \m/

It is only available in 240p for safety reasons.

[mixboy32]

My face literally fell off from the epicness..Therefore I am now Faceless!

[Kandyland1234]

i swear this makes me wetter than a shower

[sixthseparatist]

Definitely my favorite Faceless song, along with Sons of Belial.  I can listen to it over and over again, it refuses to get old.

[Oakurim]

When did the faceless capture a Zapdos?

[EpsilonX]

that riff at like 2:39 is awesome

[Kierantheskafreak]

@ChuckSchuldinerRIP0 Those are all fantastic bands, for sure.

This one is still my favourite, though.

[ChuckSchuldinerRIP0]

@Kierantheskafreak You're forgetting Nile, Origin, Hate Eternal, and Fleshgod Apocalypse.

[g3xp]

I love to play the End on guitar! its so pretty fuckin epic

[bearblaster420]

@Kierantheskafreak they more progressive, and this band was leaning to the more to the deathcore side of things on the first album

[ifanguitar]

5 people were left faceless by that bass riff at 2:59
