This is the first song from Lorna Shore’s second full-length album “Flesh Coffin”. A great intro to their album to give a taste of what the album will sound like – and the brutality doesn’t let up a single second.
This room sealed shut
I found peace within the dark
There’s no world left for me
Stone cold is this beating heart
Troubled times we have fallen upon
Smother my body in gas
Light the match and I’m gone
This room sealed shut
I found peace within the dark
There’s no world left for me
Stone cold is this beating heart
Troubled times we have fallen upon
Smother my body in gas
Light the match and I’m gone
And it is here I offer my body
To whoever chooses to hear my voice
Use me as a sacrifice
My body a vessel, a mere tomb of flesh and bone
I leave this world in agony, flames embrace me, I am home
My body a vessel, a mere tomb of flesh and bone
I leave this world in agony, flames embrace me, I am home
I’ve fallen to my knees
My lungs, they draw no air
All nerves are fired as they cease, I find comfort in the solace
Here in my room, the flames embrace me
I’m at peace with my doom
Here alone in my room
Numb and lucid, I dance within the flames
Care free from the feeling, I’m blind to the pain
My sorrows leave my body, every nerve has screamed my name
The fire paints a glorious picture, flesh forfeit to the flames
So tired of the loathing, so tired of the sadness
My mind seeing colors unseen, have I succumb to the madness?
So here, I’m dancing in the flames
So blind and numb to all the pain
My body sways and twists here in the flames
So blind and numb to all the pain
Watch me burn
Eager to become one with the ether
Never to return
Let me burn
Eager to become one with the ether
Never to return
Numb and lucid, I dance within the flames
Care free from the feeling, I’m blind to the pain
My sorrows leave my body, every nerve has screamed my name
The fire paints a glorious picture, flesh forfeit to the flames
I’ve fallen to my knees
My lungs, they draw no air
All nerves are fired as they cease, I find comfort in the solace
Here in my room, the flames embrace me
I’m at peace with my doom
Here alone in my room
My body a vessel, a mere tomb of flesh and bone
I leave this world in agony, flames embrace me, I am home
My body a vessel, a mere tomb of flesh and bone
I leave this world in agony, flames embrace me, I am home
So here, I’m dancing in the flames
So blind and numb to all the pain
My body sways and twists here in the flames
So blind and numb to all the pain
So here, I’m dancing in the flames
So blind and numb to all the pain
My body sways and twists here in the flames
So blind and numb to all the pain
Watch me burn
And it is here I offer my body
To whoever chooses to hear my voice
Use me as a sacrifice
A sacrifice, a sacrifice
(So tired of the loathing, so tired of the sadness
My mind seeing colors unseen, have I succumb to the madness?)
