Lyrics The Black Dahlia Murder

The Black Dahlia Murder

Statutory Ape

This is a reckoning

A cliched cut of lying tongue

Revenge never goes out of style

Gorilla honing trigger, finger that makes gorilla man

Ingrained, there's hate within us all

Spiraling I've lost my footing once again

I'm flailing in a tantrum of disgust

When life holds nothing sacred

When the loveless turn to loathe

We'll witness this final threatened pose

Oh, mother war

Sleep in your arms tonight

I'm burning, I'm burning for your love

This juggernaut of bronze and alcohol

Machines of vengeance now are born

Of vengeance we are born

To our graves these grudges shall be sworn

Behold the death of emotions never mourned

We'll die before we crawl

Twisted ministers of death, praying for a bullet

Hail, gorilla suffocate, gorilla maim

An education in howling

Ministers of death, we'll be praying

Praying for this bullet, hail

Gorilla suffocate, gorilla maim

An education in complete misanthropy

Oh, mother war

I sleep in your arms tonight

I'm burning, I'm burning for your love

This juggernaut of bronze and alcohol

Machines of vengeance now are born

Oh, mother war

I sleep in your arms tonight

I'm burning, I'm burning

Of vengeance we are born

To our fucking graves these grudges sworn

Forever forever
