Lyrics The Black Dahlia Murder

The Black Dahlia Murder

Apex

Bury them all beneath heaping shovel fulls of lime

In shallow graves the shreds of flesh dissolve with time

The stench of burning human flesh, a makeshift cremation

A shriveling fragment of death's grand design

I insist -- the pleasure's all mine

With orgasmic bliss the human body is consumed

The loins are charred, the slabs of mean cut off and ground

With zeal I dine upon the skin, enthralled with elation

Souls of my victims within me, entombed

Palette wet with atrocity

I relish the last look in your eyes

Clutching your intestines, your scream echoes through me

Perfection; a murder divine

I hold the secrets of the dead within my grasp

As I poke and prod, your precious world is painted black I the controled of

Your fate, a twisted creation

Until I've met my fancy I'll hammer and hack

Palette wet with atrocity

I relish the last look in your eyes

As I'm blissfully showered in blood

I shake with violent rapture as I gaze at my delicious feast

I cannot stop my salivation

My addiction to murder has peaked

Kneel only to my sick fixations

A complete symphony of your screams

Oh the cruelty of death!

I wield infinite

Lured by the cries of your damnation

I collect ornaments of the dead

Skin tingling with anticipation

I sever the last victim's head to be put on display

This mortal coil has born unto me death's secrets

This forensic inquisition, orgasmic

Another trophy of my bloodied psychosis

Another body to mangle; to ravage and explore

Palette wet with atrocity

I relish the last look in your eyes

Clutching your intestines, your scream echoes through me

Perfection; a murder divine..

[Outro]

When the bleeding slows, preparation for decapitation can be started.

Continue the cut to the throat around the entire neck, from the jawline to the back of the skull.

Once muscle and ligament have been sliced away, the head can be cleanly removed by gripping it on either side and twisting it off, separation occurring where the spinal cord meets the skull.

This is indicative of the method to be used for dividing other bones or joints, in that the meat should generally be cut through first with a knife, and the exposed bone then separated with a saw or cleaver.

The merits of keeping the skull as a trophy are debatable for two principal reasons.

First, a human skull may call suspicious attention to the new owner.

Secondly, thorough cleaning is difficult due to the large brain mass, which is hard to remove without opening the skull.

The brain is not good to eat. Removing the tongue and eyes, skinning the head, and placing it outside in a wire cage may be effective.

The cage allows small scavengers such as ants and maggots to cleanse the flesh from the bones, while preventing it being carried off by larger scavengers, such as dogs and children.

After a sufficient period of time, you may retrieve the skull and boil it in a dilute bleach solution to sterilize it and wash away any remaining tissue.
