The Hand, the Eye, the Tongue, the Heart Lyrics

The walls painted so vermillion
Customs splattered all about
Decadent interior, velvet seats
Appearances not as they seem

A sacrifice made willingly
The taste made all the sweeter
Dragged across salient streams of skewers
Brought before the butcher's blades

The Hand

Cut
Cut deep
Cut
Cut deep
Cut to the bone

The Eye

Cut
Cut deep
Cut
Cut deep
Cut to the bone

Face down waiting for the tissue to be spread
Starting with the hands, working slowly towards the head
Gouging out the eyes so further torment can't be seen
Removal of the tongue prevents the irritating screams

No more than seconds but aeons from the start
The final grim performance: extraction of the heart
Favorite parts obtained the body piled on gore
Observing all the carnage from a new, exotic form

The Tongue
