Verse 1:
Skinned alive, a fate I dread
Flesh stripped bare, left for dead
The blade's caress, no mercy shown
Endless pain, I writhe alone
Chorus:
Flayed and forsaken, left to rot
A hollow shell, no hope, forgot
Exposed to the elements, I scream in vain
A living nightmare, forever pain
Verse 2:
The agony lingers, my blood spills free
A gruesome portrait of misery
Ripped apart, my essence laid bare
The stench of decay, fills the air
Chorus:
Flayed and forsaken, left to rot
A hollow shell, no hope, forgot
Exposed to the elements, I scream in vain
A living nightmare, forever pain
Bridge:
Darkness surrounds me, a suffocating shroud
An excruciating fate, I cry out loud
Faces of torment, they haunt my mind
A life of suffering, forever entwined
Verse 3:
The maggots feast, on what’s left of me
My body decays, eternally free
Thoughts of vengeance in my head
If only I could rise from the dead
Chorus:
Flayed and forsaken, left to rot
A hollow shell, no hope, forgot
Exposed to the elements, I scream in vain
A living nightmare, forever pain
Outro:
Flayed and forsaken, my soul’s in hell
A voice from the grave, hear my final yell
Cursed existence, forever to rot
In the shadows, I suffer, forever forgot.
