\[intro – distant waves, industrial hum]
Saline and iron, tides never forget,
Scalpel’s kiss in the ocean's wet.
Infected baptism, rise from the deep,
Vibrio’s hunger—it will never sleep.
\[verse 1]
Sharp as brine, cut through my veins,
Flesh-eating parasite, it's more than a stain.
Anemone kiss, rot in the wound,
Saltwater guillotine, death’s immune.
\[pre-chorus]
I’m a mark, I’m a feast, salt-scorched skin—
Oceans don’t mourn what they drown in sin.
\[chorus]
**SALTWATER GUILLOTINE**
**SLASH THROUGH THE VEINS**
**VIBRIO’S KISS, COME WASH ME CLEAN**
**IN THE RISE OF THE TIDE, I'LL BE LOST TO THE SEA**
**SALTWATER GUILLOTINE**
**FEED ON MY SKIN**
**NEVER ENOUGH, LET THE DARKNESS WIN**
\[verse 2]
Rising from the deep, infected by decay,
Searing through the bloodstream, rot’s ballet.
Flesh turning soft, a quicksilver grip,
Nerve-wrack death from a salted sip.
\[breakdown]
**THROAT LIKE OYSTER, OPEN TO THE BLADE**
**FEED ME THE OCEAN, LET MY LIFE FADE**
**FANGS IN THE WATER, TEETH IN THE FLESH**
**I BREATHE THE SALT—SWALLOW THE MESH**
\[chorus – deeper growls, more intense]
**SALTWATER GUILLOTINE**
**SLASH THROUGH THE VEINS**
**VIBRIO’S KISS, COME WASH ME CLEAN**
**IN THE RISE OF THE TIDE, I'LL BE LOST TO THE SEA**
**SALTWATER GUILLOTINE**
**FEED ON MY SKIN**
**NEVER ENOUGH, LET THE DARKNESS WIN**
\[bridge – dissonant, chaotic]
The tide pulls slow, gnawing, cruel
Vibrio licks at the wound—*I drown in the pool*
Salt-crusted lungs, gasping for air,
Flesh and bone nothing, just rot in the lair.
\[breakdown 2 – heavier, guttural]
**FLESH TO THE SEA—DROWN ME DEEP**
**CHOKE ON THE WAVE—NEVER WAKE FROM SLEEP**
**OPEN MY VEINS TO THE SALT-WET BLADE**
**LET ME BE NOTHING—LOST AND DECAYED**
\[outro – fading with waves, whispers]
Salt in my blood, salt in my chest,
Vibrio whispers, *"Let the tide do the rest."*
