-----LYRICS-----

Mean and infectous the evil prophets rise
Dance of the macabre as witches streak the sky
Decadent worship of black magic and sorcery
In the womb of the devils dungeon trapped without a plea

See thing in agony necrosis is the fate
Pins sticking through the skin the venom now sedates
Locked in a pillory nowhere to be found
Screaming for your life but no-one hears a sound

Help me
Prepare the patients scalp to peel away
Metal caps his ears he'll hear not what we say
Solid steel visor riveted cross his eyes
Iron staples close his jaws so no one hears his cries

The skull beneath the skin, the skull beneath
Now your drawn and quartered your bones will make the x
Symbol stands for poison and it's chained to your head
And as we fold your arms to make the holy cross
We cross the crucifix religion has been lost

The skull beneath the skin
The skull beneath the skin

  • @hentajus Pretty metal drums =)

  • @MegadetH666ksa Well, you know... is Dave :D

  • @GanjaPharmzor

    A large, bowl shaped kind of drum. They were used in the military and from the 18th century are also used in orchestras. Look up "timpani drums" here on youtube.

  • @MegadetH666ksa From Last Rites../Loved to deth. You hear a tiny piece of Bach in the intro.. As far as Gar's credit; the fuck is timpani ??!!

  • @KivenMurikka69

    {:-p You can hear it most when he starts singing at about 2:30 if you're curious to know where I'm coming from. {:-p

  • @Mechaghostman3 no problem:P

  • @Mechaghostman3 ok. write what you want:P

  • @KivenMurikka69

    I was just being honest in what I heard. The melody in which he sings sounds like the melody in the vox of Whiplash. Sorry. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I call what I hear.

  • @Mechaghostman3 it's too mercantile.

  • @Mechaghostman3 don't mention metallica.
