lyrics

This story starts at the beginning
Of Cannibalistic nature
Humboldt Lector, feast upon your own neuter

A brawl 'til death
And dinner's done
With intelligence beyond the usual creature
You are so fundamentally fucked in head
But somehow always a few steps ahead

Feast upon the calamari of your comrades
With a grin on your beak,
You bring your own personal experience of hell
With a sense of being bound and gagged
In a room covered in soft pads
This is where you will stay

Infiltrate the minds of those at work
(With a fishing hook)
Desecrate their minds with one big bite

Infiltrate the minds of those at work
(With a fishing hook)
Desecrate their minds with one big bite

Clams as they are herded to slaughter
The salty screams of bloody gore
Hope that you rise from your slumber
As a faint distant memory
That lives no more
The sounds that echo for eternity
It would be s(h)e(l)lfish to deny the agony

Scream in silence
Bred through violence
Scream in Silence
Released from iron chains

Scream in silence
Bred through violence
Scream in Silence
Released from iron chains

Roam the oceans ready to attack
Watch the fuck out you tasty snack
For Humboldt Lector is on the run
Watch your back, stalking is half the fun

Buffalo Gill--if you will
A confused Batfish with a twist of lipstick
Once a friend of Humboldt, lost sight of gender orientation
A disturbance in the natural flow of the ocean
Psychopathic notion
Carve your new flesh to fit
Fill the shoes of your multiple personalities

Tuck it back and switch up the roles
Your filet knife is sharpened and awaiting instruction
An altered mind so easy to manipulate

Scream in silence
Bred through violence
Scream in silence
Released from iron chains

Hide away before I smash open your shell
Be ready to meet me at the gates of Hell
Hide away
