In the kitchen
With a screaming triple amputee...
Are my way of saying... "Thank you
Its fear tastes better than its limbs
I draw from the slowly dying damned
I let them out and people die!
That come for their piece of meat?
The wretched living are mine alone
Fright mounts with the body count
To which anthropomancy predicts a decline
Can there be a lifestyle that's better than this?
With their blood and excritement
I can find my way in the dark;
My fulfilment is habitually necromanic
Seen through the eyes of a mortician
They've "caught" me, as they call it;
My teeth and my semen have betrayed me
The likes of which these feeble minds have
My responses to which inspire fear...
The amoral alien speaks;
"These aren't butterflies
I see a face I'd like to burn."
