Lyrics Cannibal Corpse

Cannibal Corpse

Five Nails Through the Neck

Knock him out with chloroform

Surreptitious trapping tack

Drag the body to the trunk

Take the captive to the house and down into the basement

Binding method is extreme

Unconscious I will pierce the hands and feet

Arms and legs nailed to the wood

Beneath the table blood is forming shallow pools

Perforate the abdomen

Punctured organs start to fail

Mounting pain revives the man

His gaze meets mine then panic starts, the nails leave him immobilized

Head is thrashing from the pain

I must nail it to the wood with long sharp nails

Penetration of the flesh

Five dozen nails will hold him down

Five nails

My hammer pounds them, the steel secures him

Five nails

My victim conscious, he is immobile

I raise my hammer, and aim for the throat

Five nails through the neck

Trachea is torn

Gasping sounds are heard

Life is leaving him

But not soon enough

Agony, torturous

Long nails penetrate

Through the flesh and bone

Table dripping blood

Victim full of holes

Suffer, merciless

[Solo: Pat O'Brien]

Five nails through the

Five nails through the neck

60 nails adorn the fool

12 on each leg and arm

4 of them aerate his face

3 puncture his abdomen and leave his vitals oozing

I step back and view my work

Torture victim lies drained of life

Outside world will never know

How many nails the victim felt before he died

Five nails through the neck
