[Verse 1]
Fear is just interpretation
Feeds my motivation
Our time together is
A bloodbath of serenity
Plead no more
There's no confusing the finale
Excitation
My rancid passion is electrified
[Pre-Chorus]
Accept this
My religion of torture
I can't see any purity
Just imperfection and obscenity
My blood-soaked hands devise
Your slow, methodic demise
Asphyxiate the world
It's blind without me
[Chorus 1]
Catatonic
Catatonic
I'm numb in priceless solitude
Exhilarating keeping pieces of you near
[Lead – King]
[Verse 2]
Visions of decapitation
My mental masturbation
I try to resurrect
Your consciousness, your intellect
Once so pure
Your pain excites and it tests me
Excitation
The empty stare emitting from your eyes
[Refrain]
Embrace it
My religion of torture
All I see are the impurities
The imperfections and obscenities
[Lead – King and Hanneman]
[Pre-Chorus]
Accept it
My religion of torture
Excitation
The rancid passion coming from your eyes
My blood-soaked hands devise
Your slow, methodic demise
Asphyxiate the world
It's blind without me
[Chorus 2]
Catatonic
Catatonic
I'm numb in priceless solitude
Exterminating all the voiceless multitudes
I can't stop because it's so hypnotic
Catatonic
