Funeral Thirst Lyrics
the brightest full moon light entrances me
it calls me forth
yet i have not the strength to move
in stasis, i rot away and dream
dream of forgotten years
dream of the touch of another's hand
i am to be a meal of star-ved worms
my nerves are twisting for the light of my salvation
i rest beneath where i remain as cold as clay
eternal pain is swelling in my joints
somewhere within me a flame is slowly born
inside this shell of bloated flesh grows life anew
infernal, the moon distorts my mind
my veins jolt back to life, pushing the fluids of the damned
i seek to bathe my fetid flesh in crimson spray
my body writhes without consent of conscience
i lift the lid the pounds of dirt shall not subdue
i shall walk the earth once more
from beyond the strings are pulled
i know not what has made me this way
the animation of my rigid corpse
i shall abandon my coffin of premature fate
all the words of the preacher
all the tears of my family in vain
i shall again walk amongst them
my penance with blood be repaid!
repaid!
[solo]
dead hand grasps for the still night air
i am now free to maim!
there cannot be a god for he would not forgive this
despicable inhuman monster; rotten, twisted and deformed
i am now a tool of my unholy instinct
entrails strewn at my bidding
a mockery of all i was
i seek to bathe my fetid flesh in crimson spray
my body writhes without consent of conscience
i lift the lid the pounds of dirt shall not subdue
i shall walk the earth once more
from beyond the strings are pulled
i know not what has made this way
the animation of my rigid corpse
i shall abandon my coffin of premature fate
all the words of the preacher
all the tears of my family in vain
i shall again walk amongst them
my penance with blood be repaid!
repaid!
it calls me forth
yet i have not the strength to move
in stasis, i rot away and dream
dream of forgotten years
dream of the touch of another's hand
i am to be a meal of star-ved worms
my nerves are twisting for the light of my salvation
i rest beneath where i remain as cold as clay
eternal pain is swelling in my joints
inside this shell of bloated flesh grows life anew
infernal, the moon distorts my mind
my veins jolt back to life, pushing the fluids of the damned
my body writhes without consent of conscience
i lift the lid the pounds of dirt shall not subdue
i shall walk the earth once more
i know not what has made me this way
the animation of my rigid corpse
i shall abandon my coffin of premature fate
all the tears of my family in vain
i shall again walk amongst them
my penance with blood be repaid!
repaid!
i am now free to maim!
there cannot be a god for he would not forgive this
despicable inhuman monster; rotten, twisted and deformed
i am now a tool of my unholy instinct
entrails strewn at my bidding
a mockery of all i was
my body writhes without consent of conscience
i lift the lid the pounds of dirt shall not subdue
i shall walk the earth once more
i know not what has made this way
the animation of my rigid corpse
i shall abandon my coffin of premature fate
all the tears of my family in vain
i shall again walk amongst them
my penance with blood be repaid!
repaid!

kids love the black dahlia murder.
This is in no way shape or form anything CLOSE to Black Metal. Go listen to some Darkthrone if you don't want people to think you're an idiot.
Keyboards don't define Black Metal. Thanks.
This song is about an undead releasing himself from his grave on his way to murder people.
zombies.
Pretty much the only BDM song ive heard, but it still kicks ass
The Black Dahlia Murder kicks ass. Im going to see them in Illinois with Nile. But the solo in this song is my favorite of all time. Its just so fucking sweet.
this song friggen owns man. its the reanimation of his corpse. lovely song. well executed and thought out lyrics.
staticage indeed zombies.... awsome song
It means he died, and hes coming back to walk to walk amongst the living. And his family has shed thier tears, and ...yeah.
xxRevvie
I love this band, yet again, more badass lyrics. You can always count on them to come out with twisted, creative, poetive lyrics as well as heavy yet melodic music. Nile is awesome too.
