Gnawing Urges of the Flesh

Nagging, aching, and unrelenting, ever unmet these needs
A seperate being lives inside me, on my soul it feeds

Bibles and prayers and trips to church, repressive measures taken
My flesh wants what the spirit doesnt, alone with the beast Im forsaken

Meditation, distraction, and willpower, these urges ever unyielding
Shrink wrapped in pain tormented by "Need", My resistance fails to this feeling

Ive done it again this "Lust" is my sin, numbness follows relief
Orgasmic highs are never enough, in "Love" ever dies my belief

The urges are gone but only for now, they will be back again
To tear me apart and rend my soul, from inside Their feast will begin

Just like I said they have returned but this time I will win
I feel them inside, biting and clawing, with the knife I begin to dig in

Maiming my flesh and bleeding my soul, theres nothing for them to eat
Damned as a Suicide I see in the distance, the River Styx Ferryman Fleet

Dragged to hell, eternally punished, a torture sacred and just
Deafening screams, eternal darkness and fire, this pain is all I now trust

Policemen and examiners skulk about the blood and gore soaked room
Their sleep is now forever haunted, by the image of "Thy Flesh Consumed"....
