Lyrics The Black Dahlia Murder

The Black Dahlia Murder

Their Beloved Absentee

Alpha omega I am the creator, deemer of all that shall be

hypothesis human destruction imminent, transpiring accordingly

alpha omega the giver and taker, the paradox of life and death

the world is my oyster, my powers I bolster, I’ll gamble ‘til nothing is left

the human invention created dissention, disrupter of poor mother earth

for my sick entertainment, I’ll ring that ole’ rag squeezing her for what she’s worth

lo and why they worship me their beloved absentee

not even as their god can the answer I find

not just hands but a will

not just hearts but could feel

with such weight it’s no wonder they’ve killed

driven mad by the power I’ve instilled

with the hands to create

they could only unmake

with the potential to love

Man’s emotion soured by hate

alpha omega, the broken and breaker, I am the one of law bereft

how petty their prayer, an annoyance their voices, my goblet spills forth as I laugh

the human invention evaded abortion, but’s damned himself before his birth

for my sick entertainment I’ll lend not a nod, gawking from safety in jovial mirth

lo and why they worship me, their corrupted absentee

though they’ve called me their god, there’s no truth I can find

more than instinct a fire

more than guts a desire

with such a burden it’s a shame they can’t deal

gone insane from insatiable will

with the eyes to behold

they only wanted a lie

with the potential to grow unrestrained

they cast a bullet to promptly put straight through their brains

humanity

a notion poisoned, gone astray

creatively paved

their ashen ways to early graves

like the rats they have raced

In an endless gluttony for pain

Oh I know that it hurts

but your sadistic voyeur of a god is entertained

like a high heeled shoe, crushing the praying mantis form

to the taking of life I’ve been desensitized, by unending waves of unfathomable automated porn

their life is a disease, I’ve created the damnedest of plagues

I await now their end with a most bated breath, remorseless I am for the monster I have made

humanity

a notion poisoned, gone astray

creatively paved

their ashen ways to early graves

like the rats they have raced

In an endless gluttony for pain

Oh I know that it hurts

but your sadistic voyeur of a god is entertained
