Lyrics Beneath the Pendulum - Flesh Consumed

Beneath the Pendulum

Strapped to the chopping block, my victims gains consciousness
She screams in terror as the pendulum swings above her
Five feet across and fifteen feet high, a contraption forged with meticulous
perfection
Swaying back and forth in metronomic momentum
Taunting the victim, steel shimmers under halogen lighting
Hypnotized by the blade in motion, I commence the torture
Convulsing rapidly, she struggles to escape her shackles to no prevail
Tears stream from the ducts of her vacant wide eyes
Epinephrine hits my bloodstream;
thee high of taking a human life is euphoric
An increase of dopamine and serotonin creates complete ecstasy
The blade slices through layers of skin and flesh
It continues to excoriate the wound until I lower it farther
Her voice cracks as she frantically pleads for her life
The pendulum rips through her intestines and spine
Slowly slicing the human in two
The lower extremities and pelvis are
Detached from the rest of the body
Blood drains from the segmented torso
The body twitches post-mortally in a pool of blood and entrails
