Into  the  Everblack  -  The  Black  Dahlia  Murder

One  thousand  hands  pull  you  down  into  dark  waters

Victimized—

Time  of  life  on  earth,  expired

Coldly  served  the  vengeance,  damning

Murder  in  the  first  degree

Fodder  for  the  oaken  box,  so  lined  with  velvet  tapestry

Descent—  imminent

Bladder  and  bowels  into  pants,  spent

The  glow  is  waning  in  your  eyes

What’s  coming  next  is  no  surprise

Death  phlegm  rattles—

Terrible,  the  choking  swansong

Rapid  decline—

When  old  age  brings  burdens,  cumbersome

Cruelly  dealt  the  sickness,  growing

Malignancies  triumphantly

Destroyed  you  from  the  inside  out

Begging  for  death,  insistently

Into  the  Everblack

From  where  there’s  no  coming  back

Six  feet  below  the  earth

Rotting  food  for  the  fetid  worms

Into  the  harrowed  grave

Your  mortal  soul  cannot  be  saved

Into  the  nether  realm

Dead  as  slate  and  cold  as  hell

Funereality—

(Headstones  towering  above...)

S'far  as  the  eye  can  see

Condemned  to  hell,  so  morbidly

My  friend,  you’ll  never  see

(Lost  forever,  in  between...)

In  revenance,  you've  been  deceived

What  you  have  prayed  for  shall  not  be

Your  hollow  cries,  he  has  denied

(Your  weak  religion  dies...)

With  thee  a  feeble  cross—

Insignia  of  fabled  gods

You’ll  haunt  a  landscape  draped  in  grey

(Deceased  and  meant  to  be...)

To  push  the  daisies  up,  eternally

Your  name  is  here  in  stone

Into  the  Everblack

From  where  there’s  no  coming  back

Six  feet  below  the  earth

Rotting  food  for  the  fetid  worms

Into  the  harrowed  grave

Your  mortal  soul  cannot  be  saved

Into  the  nether  realm

Dead  as  slate  and  cold  as  hell
