[ heavily distorted riff. Building drums]
[ sensual female moaning]:
[ verse: bitch black chugging riff]:
Cold iron gates locked tight in the mist
Black blooms grow where the dead once kissed
Bruised petals spread from the decrepit clay
Fed by the tears of judgement day
[pre chorus : slow ritualistic drums]:
Nurture the soil tended with dread
The loving caress from the freshly dead
[ chorus: heavy]:
Flowers of pitch upon the tomb
Sprouting corruption
in the endless gloom
Putrid sweet perfume of a corpse’s breath
Blossoming high in the garden of death
The garden of death
DEATH!
DEATH !
Everyone cries
DEATH !
DEATH !
Everyone dies
[ verse[:
A touch as velvet as inside a hearse
To prick your finger is to bear a curse
The roots pry open the coffin lid
Feasting on the sins that the darkness hid
[ pre chorus]:
Nurture the soil tended with dread
Loving caress from the freshly dead
[ chorus]:
Flowers of pitch upon the tomb
Sprouting corruption
in the endless gloom
Putrid sweet perfume of a corpse’s breath
Blossoming high in the garden of death
The garden of death
DEATH !
DEATH !
Everyone cries
DEATH !
DEATH !
Everyone dies
[ brutal extremely slow guitar breakdown, slow pounding drums ]
In the garden of death
[ bridge: heavy syncopated, pounding riff, ends in a desperate chant]:
Crushed into dust under heavy stone
This garden thrives on the taste of flesh and bone
thorns burrow deep its feeding time
Drink the black blood like holy wine
FEAST ON DECAY !
ROTTING AWAY !
The garden of death will claim its prey
[ pre chorus]:
Nurture the soil tended with dread
Loving caress from the freshly dead
[chorus]:
Flowers of pitch upon the tomb
Sprouting corruption in the endless gloom
Putrid sweet perfume of a corpse’s breath
Blossoming high in the garden of death
In the garden of death
DEATH !
DEATH !
[ sensual female moaning]:
Everyone cries
DEATH !
DEATH !
[ sensual female moaning]:
Everyone dies
The garden spreads its wings
Finally loose
Black vines tighten
Like a hangman’s noose
Dark roots climbing free
Over the graveyard wall
The land of the living
Will crumble and fall
In the garden of death
The garden of death
[screamed]:
DEATH ! !
DEATH ! !
DEATH ! !
DEATH ! !
In the garden of death
[ slow haunting heavy outro]
