Cerements of the Flayed

[Verse 1]
Buried alive wrapped in skin
From another human
That is still alive
Why must I die this way?
Draped in a blood-soaked covering
My suffering a mystery
[Pre-Chorus]
In the ground barely conscious
Unknown graveyard of the ancients
Is where it all will end
Sacrificial tomb of torment
Excruciating pain to covet
Obtain a new eternal home
[Chorus]
Wearing the shroud made of membrane
Cerements of the flayed
Cloaked in the peeled epidermis
Cerements of the flayed
[Verse 2]
Unburied to live wrapped in skin
From another human
That was still alive
Why didn't I die this way?
Draped in a blood-soaked covering
My suffering a mystery
[Pre-Chorus]
Up from the ground barely conscious
A new chapter is upon us
When will it all end?
Must endure the grisly torment
Exhilarating pain to covet
Obtain a new external hide
[Chorus]
Wearing the shroud made of membrane
Cerements of the flayed
Cloaked in the peeled epidermis
Cerements of the flayed
[Bridge]
Shaved of my own pelt
Replaced ceremoniously
Salvaged from oblivion
Regained life through atrocity
Repulsively existing
Perpetual form of agony
Scraped into an endless hell
Slice meticulously
Exterior invasion
Sickening form of misery
Succumbing to the mayhem
Shocking all humanity
[Solo: Rutan & Barrett]
[Chorus]
Wearing the shroud made of membrane
Cerements of the flayed
Cloaked in the peeled epidermis
Cerements of the flayed
[Post-Chorus]
Of the flayed
Of the flayed
Of the flayed
Of the flayed
