Raped in Hatred by Vines of Thorn Songtext
von The Black Dahlia Murder

Dense dark forest dismal fog
A spectral force perverts these woods
Flight prevails frantic escape
The unearthly horrors at each turn they wait

Wandering roots they creak and move
Slithering toward what mortal life intrudes
Terrified eyes opened wide
Ensnare her flailing limbs
To the Earth they are tightly tied

Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
By the evil dead
To ribbons ripped and torn
Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
Pierced from within her child is skewered unborn
Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
Twisted in halves in this gruesome tug-of-war
Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
Flora possessed suckling the gore


Untamed kudzu green cocoon
Trapped inside her flesh their food
Death prevails gnarled roots entwine
Syphon the marrows from her splintered spine

Animate trees shuffle their roots
Gathering around
This late night rendezvous
Murderous orgy in full bloom
Her screams they cut the fog this night
On sheer terror the seedlings thrive

Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
Behold the wrath of the Necronomicon
Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
Lancing her womb the child inside is gorged
Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
Broken in two
Entwined within the growth
Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
Necrotized demonic spores

You brought this all unto yourselves
Should not have tampered with this Hell
Opening the book your last mistake
These haunted woods shall be thine grave


Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
By the evil dead
To ribbons ripped and torn
Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
Pierced from within her child is skewered unborn
Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
Twisted in halves in this gruesome tug-of-war
Raped in hatred by vines of thorn
Flora possessed suckling the gore
