Songtext Cursed creator The Black Dahlia Murder

Cursed creator

Good doctor
At last we meet again
Your creation returned
Requests your audience
Do you recollect how cold it was that night?
Your intellect seized thunder's might
And brought assorted flesh back to life

Disgusted, afraid
You turned your back on what you'd made
Abandoned, cast out
I wandered off into the dark

Foraging, to sustain
Clumsily, I learned this frame
Such brilliant lights and sounds
Into the village I was lured down

And I still see their horror
My visage so abhorrent
Grotesque and dumb

So, back to the shadows
Where I dwelled
And learned, your language
Our mankind's values
Knowledge ever increasing the gravity
Reality set in so painful
Eternal loneliness

So you would see me dead
For the fiend, I've become
I propose, instead
You'd sense some obligation

So now I ask you
To create once more
A mate, my bride
One such as me

Beware for I am fearless
And therefore powerful
This deal, now struck
Campaign of misery can end
Or so we thought

Agreement broken
Her ripped to shreds before my eyes
I vow to you good doctor
I'll be with you your wedding night

Watching you from your bedroom
Your fresh bride's life expiring
Her throat grasped in my hands
Looking right at you
Cursed creator
Do you deem our pain as matched?

Now that you've lost everyone
That you have ever loved
You wage, your war
The eternal justice of man
In pursuit
Your final obsession
Into the North
Oh Father please do follow
