Cruelty Incarnate Lyrics - Singles - Psycroptic

There's a story of a moment in time, many an aeon ago 

A brutal ruler existed, in times of medieval 

He was king (of an) ago old country, many within 

Feared - by all those who dwelled in this kingdom - all! 

Many of them peasants - poor! 

Servants to a tyrant - slaves! 

Born for his use 

Between the rich huge divide 

Lords and lawmen and their wives 

They live their lives in comfort 

but like the peasants they fear..... 

...the.....king! 

For each day they thank god they're alive 

as they wake, and they pray each and 

every night - that morning comes 

For the king likes to abduct each night 

two people for, morbid fun 

He ties them up and takes them to his home - the castle 

Once he gets there, he takes them down 

into the torture room. He screams with joy as he puts 

them instantly into contraptions 

The male is nailed to a wall, 

and his legs are placed in acid 

As his legs are eaten the female is devoured by rodents- 

Alive!...the pain....so extreme 

The king he throws back his head 

he's so glad neither are dead 

Removes the half man from the wall 

rips out the nails lets him fall 

Takes the rats from the womans mangled figure 

Then douses her body with kerosene 

Strikes, a flint, creating a spark which ignites her 

and she's screaming to his delight 

As she screams he slits the mans throat- 

increasing his excitement 

His mouth commands his people but- 

His pleasues shall rule their...lives.
