Cover art for Blood In The Ink lyrics by Black Dahlia Murder, The

Alot of these lyrics are incorrect. I don't know if they came from the book or not, if so they're most likely typo'd. After listening to the intro multiple times over, I've determined this is what is said, haven't gone through the rest yet, but the song seems to be a play against parents and media attacking metal music and religious beliefs about teen suicides and killing sprees.

It's time go get the gun The one this family's hiding from Sleeping in the dresser drawer Do pull this trigger I implore Shoot your parents then yourself Push your life right off the shelf Die for metal leave this Hell Take this oath of blasphemation When asked to kill You won't or will Casting aside the weak When lord Belail Your name He calls Conquer or wallow in defeat Blood in the ink!

Lyric Correction

eh, "the one your family's hiding from"

This song is obviously about obeying commands from satan, and signing away your life to his will. Definitely disgusting lyrics.

Actually, it's about Belial, the brother to Satan, not Satan himself. But most uptight christian families believe that Metal music is the music of Satan and the Devil, and blame it for the cause of many wrong doings in our society, such as family homicides, suicides, murders, columbine sprees, etc. The lyrics are also quite invigorating, they definately capture the critism well. It's pretty much a big joke, you got to remember, alot of what BDM writes is based on past horror stories, and gruesome historical figures, as well as just out right for their love of metal music. Insighting...

I definitely disagree. I think they are being completel sincere in their lyric writing.
