Ghastly Affliction Lyrics

Along the coast in a town abroad a community lives in peace
Free of all turmoil and angst oppressing the world inland
With recent acts the town was shocked by grievous accounts of murder
The victims came from afar and were passing through this place

The peculiar mood that's subdued this town increases all suspicion
The people here possess a scheme of perplex intense proportion

Ghastly affliction (x4)

The perpetrator of a blind assault halts from a gaping wound
On the ground the blood he shed shows his identity
He is one of the newly deceased burned alive upon a stake
And now a hench within this mob who once rid him of his life

The cemetery holds a sealed grave, with the perpetrator's name
All mystery will soon surpass when his grave has been exhumed

The coffin creaks as the lid is pried to reveal a corpse less case
In it's place a heart is rotting, wrapped in a foul old rag
This man lives on as a mindless corpse devoid of lifelessness
For he's a slave in league with the rest of a deranged mortician's art

Ravenous ghastly obsession, incessant urge to mend the dead
For them to live beyond the grave, his slaves till death do them part

Ghastly affliction (x4)
