Terrorize Brutalize Sodomize
Vomitory Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blackened mind
Obscurity concealed
Compulsive urge to slay
Upon command from powers deep within

Staring into the eyes of death
Totally paralysed
Hyperventilating, grasping for air

Anticipated pain already so real
A fear beyond all fears

Morning star, cock and hate ? my weapons of choice

Fueled by rage, hatred and insanity
No regrets, no compassion nor mercy
