dear diary, tonight will be our last
my hands are itching for razors
my angel, this knife shall carve thee wings
consumed by sickness, i ache to see your blood
the hour approaches when i shall lay a nest inside of you
sliced open i lay waste to my desires
sweet entrails are scooped onto the tile
and in my dreams i hold your head beneath the waves
after you've died, i kiss the nape of your porcelain neck
you enter me in death's perpetual embrace
skin tightens in the throes of lust
and in my dreams i cut your mouth from ear to ear
dissecting your angelic body in the quiet of your room
how splendidly i carve into your tender heart
shuddering between the sheets
for weeks i've watched you, perched above your sleeping form
as i caress your perfection
my angel, i'll tear your insides out
my mind is flooding, the marrow of your bones
i cannot subside 'til i have suckled every inch of you
your features now glazed in your own blood
my fingers find home amongst your guts
and in my dreams i hold your head beneath the waves
after you've died, i kiss the nape of your porcelain neck
you enter me in death's perpetual embrace
skin tightens in the throes of lust
and in my dreams i cut your mouth from ear to ear
dissecting your angelic body in the quiet of your room
how splendidly i carve into your tender heart
shuddering between the sheets
whisper your name as you awaken your throat gasps, your skin recoils
we shall be intertwined, entangled in our love
murder beckons as time stops with your voice
"i'll love you forever" -- and forever it shall be
the knives begin singing, they're weeping for your flesh
the pinnacle of obsession is clawing at the fibers of my mind
the rampant state of elation is heightened by the paleness of your cries
with a promise of absolution, my thoughts are tangled in my creations
with a promise of unequaled pleasure, reason is twisting
the knives are crooning for this perfect end
for weeks i've watched you, perched above your sleeping form
as i caress your perfection
my angel, i'll tear your insides out
my mind is flooding, the marrow of your bones
i cannot subside 'til i have suckled every inch of you
i feel the fibers stretch and tear
unbridled climax is achieved
i've waited so long for this moment
the euphoric act of suicide -- suicide!
this is my favorite song from black dahlia murder. "The rampant state of elation is heightened by the paleness of your cries." that line pretty much sums up the whole song. the song also explains the actual black dahlia murder... the way elizabeth short was murdered. her mouth was cut from ear to ear, she was dissected, and she appereared to have been partially raped. the murderer had obviously enjoyed himself, and his thoughts are beautifully expressed in this song.
If the was ever a song the was beautifully discusting and well constucted. like other black dahila murder songs it is powerfull and most likely the best one so far.

I've seen this band live and their shows are packed with so much energy and chaos I cant even remember the whole show. But no doubt, Closed Casket Requiem is my favorite song. It's mixed with death in a comical but morbid way. This song goes from high to lows in a matter of seconds, it always keeps you alert. If you haven't seen this Michigan band, it should be on your things to do. You won't regret seeing The Black Dahlia Murder.
