The victim is chained, he stares In this empty room bound to a chair Dim light creates evil shadows In the darkness enclosed Forever, he is exposed
In the darkness he awaits For his master to bring his torture case When his master walks in The procession can soon begin
The agony is excruciating As blade rips through flesh Exhilarated and insane He watches old wounds turned fresh
He is but a slave turned into meat Saw shreds through his bone As the blood mixes so sweet His master cracks a whip from his throne As the slave whispers prayers and groans
He is tortured and beaten Could be dead, but heart still beating His master enjoys splitting slave’s skin And finds joy in tormenting slave’s kin
The master stands with hands stained As the slave lays with arms chained The master’s lust never satisfied As the slave lies here, waiting to die
Body raw, meat severed Blood dripping, still waiting The slave is powerless to struggle As the master prepares to separate muscle
Tools spread out, gloves on The surgeon starts at dawn Slave closes his eyes and braced For what comes next he couldn’t face
One by one, he cuts tendon And severs muscle with his weapon He scrapes and stabs, tears asunder The slave roars, mighty as thunder
Last comes the gutting As the surgeon grabs his bucket Then tears open intestine One by one slave loses section
The slave passes from the world As his blood gushes upon the floor The master wipes off the gore And throws away the meat he tore
The sun rises upon a new slave The master threw the old one away We placed a stone upon his grave Simple and round, not engraved
The master was ignorant with his old ways For the new slave was powerful and brave The next morning, a new hole was made After a night of agony, the master was laid Inside his own shallow grave
