The Black Dahlia Murder - Evening Ephemeral Lyrics

Now places everyone
The stage is set, prepare yourselves
Secure your blades, embrace our faith
Remember our unholy purpose

The premiere an event
To redefine the ephemeral
A promised tale of pain and horror
Rumors suggest surprise end
Choreographed rehearsed for months
This troupe devout
Prepared to suspend all disbelief
They'll jump from their seats

Uneasy melody
Sets in softly as house lights dim
The curtain rises
And now our show begins

Fourth wall broken
A spray of warm blood
Drenches the front rows
Disgusted gasps of shock erupt
Yet still the crowd looks on
So immersed
In the tension being built
From balcony to front row
You can taste epiphany

Patrons degenerate
Bloated sows sacrificial lambs
We command now
You raise your hands
And speak these words so blasphemous

We call him forth
We offer flesh
Assembled now at his behest
Accept our gift return
Ascend his black name has our reverence

As smoke we rise
We shall burn

The curtain falls ablaze
Cries of panic escalate
Trampling, clawing
Shouting in vain
All doors locked
No one shall be saved

Patrons degenerate
Bloated sows sacrificial lambs
We command now
You raise your hands
And speak these words so blasphemous

We call him forth
We offer flesh
Assembled now at his behest
Accept our gift return
Ascend his black name has our reverence

Now our story ends
This theater's burning to a crisp
All trapped inside
There's no escape
Willing or not
This is our fate

All screaming now
Engulfed in flames
This heinous act
Yes most profane
We sacrifice
In your black name
Invited now
Come forth
Relish our pain

As smoke we rise"
