Under the shadows of high walls
The condemned is led blindly to doom
In the place where blood falls
And fills the earth, damnation blooms
Carve away dignity
Piece by piece
For all to see
Stripped and flayed
Humanity
For the lost
No sympathy
Cries for deliverance
Echo through halls of pain
Vengeance and ruination
Flows in crimson rivers
The agony of castigation
An offering to the true God death delivered
Carve away dignity
Piece by piece
For all to see
Stripped and flayed
Humanity
For the lost
No sympathy
Cries for deliverance
Echo through halls of pain
This ritual of violence
Yet another link in the never-ending chain
Eye for an eye
Crime for a crime
The true measure of power
The ability to inflict cruelty with impunity
Cries for deliverance
Echo through halls of pain
This ritual of violence
Yet another link in the never-ending chain
