Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Razor's edge outlines the dead
Incisions in my head
Anticipation, the stimulation
To kill the exhilaration
[Chorus]
Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself
And let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die
[Chorus]
Close your eyes
And forget your name
Step outside yourself
And let your thoughts drain
As you go insane, go insane…
[Verse 2]
Innate seed
To watch you bleed
A demanding physical need
Desecrated, eviscerated
Time's perpetuated
[Chorus]
Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself
And let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die
[Chorus]
Close your eyes
And forget your name
Step outside yourself
And let your thoughts drain
As you go insane, go insane…
[Verse 3]
Inert flesh
A bloody tomb
A decorated splatter brightens the room
An execution, a sadist ritual
Mad intervals of mind residuals
[Chorus]
Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself
And let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die
[Chorus]
Close your eyes
And forget your name
Step outside yourself
And let your thoughts drain
As you go insane, go insane…
