Tender is the Flesh Lyrics

Flesh

Punched with a price tag

Cold bodies

Without a voice to say no

Severed

Put out for display

Hands bloody

With moral decay

Split

Organs from torso

Incisions

Never heal back

Missing

Heart from a chest

Stitched up

In their Sunday best

Seeing the world through eyes that are not yours

Jar on a shelf next to living things unborn

(Somebody help me!)

Forgotten lives and all he wants is more

Hidden away behind the cold steel door

(Somebody release me!)

Stolen pieces

Of a life once breathing

Forced to surrender

The flesh so tender

Purchased memories

Sold by a psycho

Forced to surrender

The flesh so tender

Masked

Behind your profession

No shame

But guilt rots your soul

Greed

Next to gluttony

Your turn

Comes with a fee

Lie

Til you're blue in the face

Shakes hands

With your karmic fate

Pay

The price that you're selling

Listen

To the bells of hell ring

Seeing the world through eyes that are not yours

Jar on a shelf next to living things unborn

(Somebody help me!)

Forgotten lives and all he wants is more

Hidden away behind the cold steel door

(Somebody release me!)

Stolen pieces

Of a life once breathing

Forced to surrender

The flesh so tender

Purchased memories

Sold by a psycho

Forced to surrender

The flesh so tender
