Decency Defied Lyrics
Torn from your body, removed while you scream
Dissect to collect, my blade now reams
Pieces of flesh lie side by side
Worn on my body or put on display
You mark your skin, it gives you pleasure
I take your precious art, it becomes my leather
Taking your hide before you have died
Decency defied
Crudely cut away
All are my prey
Tell me how it feels when your flesh is peeled
You are vain with your art
I desire it torn apart
With my insane hunting the removal of flesh now starts
You mark your skin, it gives you pleasure
I take your precious art, it becomes my leather
Taking your hide before you have died
Decency defied
To you a design
Now a trophy made mine
To you a design
Now a trophy made mine
I seek to find
To satisfy my fucked mind
I seek to find
To satisfy my fucked mind
Ignoring your cries
Exposing your insides
Violence defined
Torn from your body, removed while you scream
Dissect to collect, my blade now reams
Pieces of flesh lie side by side
Worn on my body or put on display
You mark your skin, it gives you pleasure
I take your precious art, it becomes my leather
Taking your hide before you have died
Decency defied
Dissect to collect, my blade now reams
Pieces of flesh lie side by side
Worn on my body or put on display
I take your precious art, it becomes my leather
All are my prey
Tell me how it feels when your flesh is peeled
You are vain with your art
I desire it torn apart
With my insane hunting the removal of flesh now starts
I take your precious art, it becomes my leather
Now a trophy made mine
To you a design
Now a trophy made mine
To satisfy my fucked mind
I seek to find
To satisfy my fucked mind
Exposing your insides
Violence defined
Dissect to collect, my blade now reams
Pieces of flesh lie side by side
Worn on my body or put on display
I take your precious art, it becomes my leather
Taking your hide before you have died

good call. but your not fair enough...95% there songs are good. you just may not like them
ah well. if you don't get or don't like corpse, more power to you (or, your loss). pretty damn good song, again. interesting band that i believe lost its drummer. not sure, don't quote me.
Shitbomb, don't try to turn this into something that it isn't, I was simply stating my opinion on this song, I didn't even mention the rest of Cannibal Corpse's back catalogue (though why that should matter, I really don't know).
"you just may not like them" - while the purpose of the site is purelly about opinion and speculation, I had already indicated that it was my opinion, there was no need to state this.
i´m not sure but i thinks that corpse don´t really mean what their are saying they just like to sing sick songs..but i´m not sure
man, songs like this remind me how far Cannibal Corpse has fallen... i still think they're badass, but not as good as before. Before they would sing about shit like smashing people's heads in... now they TRY to be sick, but it's all old. I mean, killing girls for TATTOOS?! gimme a fucking break. same goes for Cyanide assassin. they're just making lyrics so they'll hav something to go with their music
My first reaction when i bought The Wretched Spawn cd (my first Cannibal Corpse cd) was kinda like this: Shit man, these guys are fucking crazy, they are insane and ill. But then i watched the DVD and i saw that they are pretty normal.They are the best metal band ever
this is a beutiful song. George Fishers vocalising is so fucking awesome and I put him up there with the other greatest vocalists ever:
Jon Davis George Fisher Freddie Mercury Bob Marley Busta Rhymes Jimi Hendrix Zac De La Rocha Bon Scott Billy Joel Conner O'Bearst Corey Taylor
These guys are awesome vocalists. Listen to their shit. I dont like Busta Rhymes he just is good at what he does.
What about Layne Staley(AIC)? Do you know him?
yer this song is definitly about some insane dude who likes to skin the tattoo's off people. i dont know why everyone thinks its about only girls though...where does it say anything about girls???
This song is amazing, even though it is about some crazy man after tattooed skin. This video made my whole body hurt..but i enjoyed myself while watching it. You mark your skin, it gives you pleasure. I take your precious art, it becomes my leather. Taking your hide before you have died!!!
