Chapel of Blood
Murderdolls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never see the daylight again
Come in, come in, to the blood red
Chapel of sin
Inside, you'll see, the horrors
Of reality
Now beg, now scream
Bow down and bleed for me
You've got blood, we'll take it
Come on in, into the chapel of blood
You've got blood, we'll take it
Come on in, into the chapel of blood
Now don't, be afraid,
As I mutilate you with this blade
Your body, it lays, in a pool
Of blood on display
I won't, forget, the beauty of your
Blood as it drips
Now beg, now scream
Bow down and bleed for me
You've got blood, we'll take it
Come on in, into the chapel of blood
You've got blood, we'll take it
Come on in, into the chapel of blood
Into the chapel of blood
Into the chapel of blood
Bow down and bleed for me
You've got blood, we'll take it
Come on in, into the chapel of blood
You've got blood, we'll take it
Come on in, into the chapel of blood
Into the chapel of blood
Into the chapel of blood
