Lyrics

213

[Verse 1]

Driving compulsion, morbid thoughts come to mind

Sexual release buried deep inside

Complete control of a prized possession

To touch and fondle with no objection

Lonely souls emptiness fulfilled

Physical pleasure and addictive thrill

An object of perverted reality

An obsession beyond your wildest dreams

[Chorus]

Death, love'’s final embrace

Your cool tenderness

Memories keep love alive

Memories will never die

[Verse 2]

The excitement of dissection is sweet

My skin crawls with orgasmic speed

A lifeless object for my subjection

An obsession beyond your imagination

Primitive instinct, a passion for flesh

Primal feeding on the multitudes of death

Sadistic acts, a love so true

Absorbingly masticating a part of you

[Chorus]

Death love's final embrace

Your cool tenderness

Memories keep love alive

Memories will never die

[Bridge]

I need a friend

Please be my companion

I don't want to be

Left alone with my sanity

[Guitar Solo: Jeff Hanneman]

[Verse 3]

Erotic sensations tingle my spine

A dead body lying next to mine

Smooth blue black lips

I start salivating as we kiss

Mine forever, this sweet death

I cannot forget your soft breaths

Panting excitedly with my hands around your neck

[Outro]

Shades are drawn, no one out can see

What I've done, what's become of me

Here I stand above all that's been true

How I love, how I love to kill you
