A Shrine to Madness by The Black Dahlia Murder Lyrics
Let us go out this evening for pleasure
For the night is still young!
Let us dance, skeletally
The chill of the autumn is stirring in me
Let us rape, let us murder
A night to sate thine perverted desires
A night on which to watch them die
To see the life whisked from the inside
A night so black as Satan's hide
When we ghouls do come alive
When the masks of mockery
Shall disguise our wicked eyes
To the death of all
Celebrate the empty breath of fall
The 31st 'twill not go silent
So long as evil doth dwell in man
Devil's night 'twas a scorcher
But on this eve we bring hell
Here, in the season of the dead
Sanity hangs by a thread
We're descendants of the dark
Give us back our one true love
Manifest all hallows eve
Samhain grim, our one true love
No, you shan't kill Halloween
For we've bore it in our blood
Embrace ye the brown-leafed vertigo
For this undead night we have sold our souls
Hoist ye this black flag of blasphemy
Lift high this emblem of hate
Return the jack-o-lantern's smile
On this holiday for the defiled
Shed the thorned binds of Christ's denial
And son let the devil in
Cultus diabolus
Laus ut flamma
Cultus obscurum
Amplexus fatum
Rejoice now, ye hellions of Earth
A glimpse of a future not far
When the dark one is said to return
Blackening this planet with ire
[Solo]
Let us rape, let us murder
A night to sate thine perverted desires
A thrill that cannot be quantified
To warm one's hands upon arson's fires
May the spoils of this evening
Rot our teeth to the gums
May the treats of our enemies
Sever their lying tongues
Here, in the season of the dead
Sanity hangs by a thread
We're descendants of the dark
Give us back our one true love
Manifest all hallows eve
Samhain grim, our one true love
No, you shan't kill Halloween
For we've bore it in our blood
In our blood!
For the night is still young!
Let us dance, skeletally
The chill of the autumn is stirring in me
Let us rape, let us murder
A night to sate thine perverted desires
A night on which to watch them die
To see the life whisked from the inside
A night so black as Satan's hide
When we ghouls do come alive
When the masks of mockery
Shall disguise our wicked eyes
To the death of all
Celebrate the empty breath of fall
The 31st 'twill not go silent
So long as evil doth dwell in man
Devil's night 'twas a scorcher
But on this eve we bring hell
Here, in the season of the dead
Sanity hangs by a thread
We're descendants of the dark
Give us back our one true love
Manifest all hallows eve
Samhain grim, our one true love
No, you shan't kill Halloween
For we've bore it in our blood
Embrace ye the brown-leafed vertigo
For this undead night we have sold our souls
Hoist ye this black flag of blasphemy
Lift high this emblem of hate
Return the jack-o-lantern's smile
On this holiday for the defiled
Shed the thorned binds of Christ's denial
And son let the devil in

For we've bore it in our blood
In our blood!
