Raped in Hatred by Vines of Thorn Lyrics

Dense dark forest, dismal fog
A spectral force perverts these woods
Flight prevails, frantic escape
The unearthly horrors, at each turn they wait

Wandering roots they creak and move
Slithering toward what mortal life intrudes
Terrified eyes opened wide
Ensnare her flailing limbs to the earth, they're tightly tied

Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
By the evil dead, to ribbons ripped and torn
Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
Pierced from within, her child is skewered unborn
Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
Twisted in halves in this gruesome tug-of-war
Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
Flora possessed, suckling the gore

Untamed kudzu, green cocoon
Trapped inside her flesh their food
Death prevails, gnarled roots entwine
Syphon the marrows from her splintered spine

Animate trees, shuffle their roots
Gathering around this late night rendezvous
Murderous orgy in full bloom
Her screams they cut the fog this night
On sheer terror the seedlings thrive

Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
Behold the wrath of the Necronomicon
Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
Lancing her womb, the child inside is gorged
Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
Broken in two, entwined within the growth
Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
Your necrotized demonic spore

You brought this all unto yourselves
Should not have tampered with this hell
Opening the book your last mistake
These haunted woods shall be thine grave

To You, Contortionist

Dense dark forest, dismal fog
A spectral force perverts these woods
Flight prevails, frantic escape
The unearthly horrors, at each turn they wait

Wandering roots they creak and move
Slithering toward what mortal life intrudes
Terrified eyes opened wide
Ensnare her flailing limbs to the earth, they're tightly tied

Untamed kudzu, green cocoon
Trapped inside her flesh their food
Death prevails, gnarled roots entwine
Syphon the marrows from her splintered spine

Animate trees, shuffle their roots
Gathering around this late night rendezvous
Murderous orgy in full bloom
Her screams they cut the fog this night
On sheer terror the seedlings thrive

You brought this all unto yourselves
Should not have tampered with this hell
Opening the book your last mistake
These haunted woods shall be thine grave

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

You are indeed correct. Even without him saying it, one should be able to deduce(except the youngsters) where the lyrics for this track draw inspiration.Trevor Strnad a 32 year old metal geek with past subject matter including Castlevania.....c'mon, hheheh

This is an actual quote from Trevor to Decibel Magazine, where he explained each of the tracks on Everblack.

So obviously about The Evil Dead, a horror movie near and dear to many a metalhead’s heart. Horror and metal have had a long marriage and this is far from the first time a death metal band has commented on the subject (Deicide, Death, and Embalmer spring immediately to mind) but here we have focused on the particularly violent vine rape scene. In my version the woman is pregnant and her baby is eaten from inside of her before she is torn in two by the bewildered vines. Horror, Pain, Gore, Death… the whole nine yards, as they say!
