[Verse 1]

Teeming with life

Equipped with working eyes

Cracking the tome open

My skin begins to die

Decimation of the dermas

Withering and edema

Clutching at my throat

I can't look away

[Chorus]

Now

My mind is defiled again

Defiled again

While

Reading the book of the damned again

The book of the damned

[Verse 2]

Not the first time

That I have died

Thought the first would be the last

Brain long fried from

Truly knowing death obscene

[Chorus]

Now

My mind is defiled again

Defiled again

Whilе

Reading the book of the damnеd again

The book of the damned

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Now

My mind is defiled again

Defiled again

While

Reading the book of the damned again

The book of the damned

Now

My mind is defiled again

Defiled again

While

Reading the book of the damned again

The book of the damned
