Awakened to taste of cold iron and bile
Blurred visions persist
Throat torn, shredded veins, warm flesh defiled
Frozen in mockery of this once beating life
Synapses firing, blinding pain, undead brain stem ignites
Awaken to weight of steel prosthetic limbs
No pulse in my chest
For the dead there's no rest
How long since the corpse drew forth its last breath?
This rotten carcass denied tranquil slumber of pain
Nerves squirm
Twitch as flesh
Remembers it's form
Ancient memories
A vague recollection
Of parts once cherished
Now only an urge
Saw through bone
Saw through the bone
Saw through bone
The urge remains
Memories fully formed
See the blade fully honed
Sharpening stone grinds the edge
Shimmering ridge of cold steel
Slice through the flesh
Saw through bone
Saw through the bone
Saw through bone
The urge remains
The urge remains
The surgeons scalpels slice
Spellbound entranced
As graceful fingers
Separate flesh from the husk
Tender bruising encased in steel
With my own hands
This is my life's work
It's myself that I've enhanced
Body framework modified
Organ tissue dead inside
Useless morals cast aside
Brain functions amplified
