Purity Through Dismemberment Lyrics

Why can you not hear me god?
Why will you not answer me?
Imprisoned in this hell
only you can hear my screams

Help me
Free me
Save me
I am begging

Sheltered life taken to extremes
mother's eyes watch over me
in this battered recess of my mind
I pray to god every night

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the lord my soul to take

Condemned to life of suffering
Flood of nightmares rush over me
Mother comes down the stairs with a knife
To cut the sin from my life

Purity
Through Dismemberment

Bow my head in reverence
feel the sins be lifted
confession brings pain
cleansing by her blade
I will not survive this
chained to wall of torment
sense my spirit leaving
seeping from open wounds
mother reads from bible
preaching while she slashes
salvation is gleaming on the point of the blade
god do I deserve this for my lack of judgment?
Even you forgive
why won't my mother?
she is killing
please hear me
why will you not save my life?

Dismembering
dissecting
left arm hangs by skin
blood pouring on the floor
god please answer me
arm laying at my feet
flesh hanging from my bones
mother is killing
please hear me
why will you not save my life?

Dismembering
dissecting
left arm hangs by skin
blood pouring on the floor
god please answer me
arm laying at my feet
flesh hanging from my bones
feel the knife it's twitching
burrowing deeper in me
blood spray blurs my vision

End my life now echoes of her screaming
haunt my inner being
pulse rate starts to weaken
skin is growing cold
darkness grows
slowly engulfing pain
threshold taken to its breaking

cold steel penetrates my soul
death's hand cradles my broken flesh

last thing I see mother stands over me
knife in one hand hacksaw in the other
feel her cutting slowly through me
arms are detached from my torso
now she leaves me cut to pieces
heart is beating
I am still breathing
left in the basement to die alone
