Black Dahlia Murder, The - Blood In The Ink Lyrics






Ritual Of Indoctrination

It’s time,
Go get the gun,
The one your family’s hiding from.
Sleeping in the dresser drawer,
Do pull its trigger I implore,
Shoot your parents then yourself,
Push your life right off the shelf.
Die for metal,
Leave this hell,
Take this oath of blasphemation.

When asked to kill you won’t or will.
Cast aside the weak when lord belial your name,
He calls conquer or wallow in defeat.
Blood in the ink.

The unholy writ on contract for your soul,
Of your feeble peasant minds we have control.
We yank these hidden strings,
The ones that make the razors go,
We’re cancelling your favorite show.
We’ve pulled the plug,
We’ve closed the curtain.

Drinketh deep now this cup of poison,
And drag a blade right through your veins.
Slaughtering every soul around you of mortality,
You’ll take the reigns,
You’ve broken your bones in violent ritual.
Tattooed black your flesh in our name,
We ask you now to wield the razor at our command,
You’ll worship pain.

Calligraphy in crimson ink,
Thick and dark each stroke.
I hereby swear my life to him,
Here is the sacred parchment,
Now part your skin and sign below.

[Solo]

When asked to kill you won’t or will.
Cast aside the weak when lord belial your name,
He calls conquer or wallow in defeat,
Our blood is Satan’s blood,
Blood in the ink.

Drinketh deep now this cup of poison,
And drag a blade right through your veins.
Slaughtering every soul around you of mortality,
You’ll take the reigns,
You’ve broken your bones in violent ritual.
Tattooed black your flesh in our name,
We ask you now to wield the razor at our command,
Let your life drain.

    best song in the album by far

    C.... ....

    really? I thought the top pick for this album was the window or carbonized lol. personally I hate the intro harmonization and note selection on The Window but it is otherwise pretty awesome.

    C.... ....

    window was amazing

    C.... ....

    This one, A Shrine to Madness, and the Window

    C.... ....

    Tbh Blood in the Ink DEFINITELY isn't what most fans pick, at all. Though honestly, it definitely is my fav from Ritual, maybe even my fav from TBDM in general.

    C.... ....

    yeah it is, case in point.

  25. T.... S....

    DIE FOR METAL!

  26. r.... ....

    Damn your lyrical wall of text, but don't get me wrong, thanks

  27. m.... ....

    That fucken guitar solo makes me headbang so much its just so epic

  28. E.... O....

    I signed this part in the booklet!! (:
    not in blood though haha

    E.... O....

    lets talk when you wright the real scripture in enochian and do the whole thing in blood and use black red and blue candles after a spiritual cleansing.

  29. J.... C....

    Only thing i have to say, about the actual playlist, is I wish you would have put the songs in order...

    J.... C....

    No need, I already did. :)

  30. N.... ....

    "Suicide is the only way out"

    N.... ....

    In a part, what they said are true

    N.... ....

    No that's a trick. You will wind up in Eternal Torment. This life is hard, the next one is HELL.

    N.... ....

    +Jeremy Diaz Exactly! it's fun seeing TBDM talking about that and stuff, but don't actually do it. Nothing good comes out of it.

  31. A.... C....

    Its "take this oath of blasphemation", other than that lyrics are decently on point

  32. Z.... R....

    our blood is Satan's blood

  33. T.... ....

    My favorite on ritual. Maybe even my favorite dahlia song

    T.... ....

  34. D.... ....

  35. C.... A....

    I Will kill my parents

  36. D.... B....

    The beginning is the best part

  37. F.... ....
