Skin Coffin Lyrics - Psycroptic

Lying there, I give you thanks for your skin 

Now yours was not a wasted life 

I compare your pelt to the rest - oh, such a fruitful night 

"I am not a believer in your pop religions 

I have found my saviour, and he speaks within me" 

In the, darkness, humans indecipherable, it helps my cause 

Death - once haunted me, 

Death - it raped my life - thoughts of it strangled me 

Now - I've seen the light 

Now - the "lord" decides - he told me the secret of "life... 

..............Life!.............. 

Skin Coffin - wrapped in skin, freed of sin 

Skin Coffin - my life is saved by the human dermis 

Skin Coffin - I shall be eternal. 

I have nightly missions, must complete my coffin 

Sewing skin in daytime, and removing the hair 

Night is fast approaching, now i must make haste 

Take my hooks and cleavers, and my knives and scissors 

In a surgery bag, leave my morbid workshop 

I like them young, around twenty years old 

more flesh - less time 

Follow them to their home (if alone) their skin so ripe 

Give them time to settle in then I strike 

Door unlocked see their face look up in painful fright 

Hook through the head, wait for death, and then I start to slice..... 

Twitching - each time I hit a nerve, 

I'm tearing - through flesh 

Bleeding - the blood it lubricates my knife... 

...my knife! 

Body stripped, flesh bagged up, onto another strike... 

...Strike! 

And so each time mortal fear subsides 

As I know I'm going to be here for all time 

For to die in my coffin will eternalize life 

Reborn - in skin - to live - forever!
