The Thaw of Filth

Verse 1

Frost

Blackened lungs

Hard ground won't open up

The heavy shovel snaps against the ice

Iron teeth

Biting

Biting deep

Blue skin turns to gray stone

Chorus

Frozen meat on the hook

Frozen meat on the hook

Rotting in the cold

Rotting in the cold

The winter preserves the stench

The winter preserves the stench

Verse 2

Stiff

Bent limbs

Rigid like the rusted gate

Eyes are milky glass staring at nothing

Crystals grow

Inside

Inside veins

Brittle fingers crack and fall away

Chorus

Frozen meat on the hook

Frozen meat on the hook

Rotting in the cold

Rotting in the cold

The winter preserves the stench

The winter preserves the stench

Bridge

No pulse

No heat

No hope

The cellar floor is slick with gore

The cellar floor is slick with red

The cellar floor is slick with death

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Thaw

Dripping

Messy pile of liquid filth

The sun is the enemy of the dead

Meat slides

Off bone

Off bone now

Black water pools around the empty skull

Chorus

Frozen meat on the hook

Frozen meat on the hook

Rotting in the cold

Rotting in the cold

The winter preserves the stench

The winter preserves the stench

Outro

Keep them cold

Keep them cold

Keep them cold

Ice

Ice

Death
