SKULLSHIFTER LYRICS
"Here In Hell" (2005 EP)
1. I, Punishment
2. Engines
3. Here In Hell
1. I, Punishment
From the corner of the room
Feel your eyes burning through me
Just an innocent no idea
What you've unleashed
Taken by the hand
Feel your will slipping away
A lamb following
Your master to the slaughter
Twisted are the rules
Which guide our lust for satisfaction
So fine the line we draw
Between revulsion and attraction
Perilously lunging, writhing,
Clawing after more
Beyond the searing throes of pain
Experienced before
I, punishment
Unto you I've been sent
I claim your soul
You are mine
Acts unspeakable
Yet it seems you've done them all
Knowledge of the arts
So perverse so dark so pure
Flashes in your eyes
Of what lies hidden within
Secrets now revealed
We are one... union of sin
Weakened, buckling
Under this violent revelation
Rendered helpless totally
By such flawless imperfection
Desecrated angel,
Wings singed black by tongues of fire
Commanding uncontrollably
With glowing white desire
I, punishment unto you I've been sent
I claim your soul, you are mine
My punishment unto me you've been sent
You own my soul... I am yours
Ripped by whip and chain
Run through by needles,
Nails and spikes
Blood is the elixir,
Drink deep unto eternal life
Spirits now awakened
Plunging into the unknown
Asphyxiating spiraling
Climactic vortex zone
I, punishment unto you I've been sent
I claim your soul, you are mine
We, punishment equal in our torment
Two damaged souls become one
So easily it seems that flesh
Will tear away from bone
Stripped of earthly pretense
Reduced to elements alone
Blood and sinew can't contain
The consuming rage of passion
Devoured by obsession
We fall away into oblivion
Punish
2. Engines
Igniting from electric spark
Pistons strain to tear apart
Spinning gears and fire breathing pipes
Supercharged and screaming past
Built for speed not built to last
Injected nitro burning in my eyes
Got no idea where I'm going but I'm damn sure that I'll get there fast
One destination awaits for us all - last stop the end of the line
Throttle pinned down to the floor
A rush that is worth dying for
Taking life just seconds at a time
Mind is blown on nitrous fumes
Body wrecked by the abuse
Run the lights and take another ride
Every day that you remain in the race gives you just that much less time
One destination awaits for us all - next stop the end of the line
Existence in our modern rage
Makes us machines, makes us slaves
Relentless pace will drive you to the ground
Engines move mechanically
No heart, no soul and no feeling
Yet without fuel or spark or air they die
Didn't know where I was going but I know that I got here too fast
Everyday grind has let life slip away - and now I've run out of time
Making the most out of each passing day
Next moment could be the last
One destination awaits for us all
Here comes the end of the line
3. Here In Hell
My fist, your face
The shock of surprise, the fear in your eyes
Falling through space
Blinded by pain as your consciousness fades
Remember my name
Destroyed by humanity, robbed me of dignity
Your time is up... now you will pay
Have you ever wondered
If this day was going to come
When a long forgotten victim
Would return to right your wrongs
Whose innocence you poisoned
Turned venomous and black
And whose cruelty you ignited
Would strike you back
Awakening
Sudden awareness of what lies ahead of us
How does it feel
Totally powerless you are the victim now
In my control
here you will know the effects of my suffering
Nightmare begun... now you will pay
Look into my eyes
You are sure to see
All the inner demons
You've arisen within me
The wounds inside you opened
So very long ago
Have left me with just one desire
To bring you down
You taught me to hate
To hate myself
To be afraid
Dead
When my spirit died
I learned to kill
And here we are
Pleading pathetically
Wretched worthless being
Used to intimidate
Brutal twist of fate
Anguished tears you cry
Can't wash away your crimes
Betrayed, lied and raped
You can't avoid your fate
In your blood I see
Tragic victory
Freedom from the chains
Forged by years of rage
Screams of agony
Triumph's symphony
You wrecked what was my life
Was it worth the price
There's no trust
There's no truth
There's no love
There's no faith
There's no light
There's no rest
There's no soul
There's no peace
There's no life
There's no hope
There's no god
There's no end
Here in hell
