lyrics

Pulverization- bones snap, break, and rend
Trituration- truncheon falls again and again
Castigation- dumbstruck, dazed and contused
Excruciation- blackened, bludgeoned, blinded, and bruised

As hammer to anvil
As hammer…
As hammer to anvil
To anvil…

Agonized- pummeled, crushed, pounded, and beat
Tenderized- cringing, battered human meat
Traumatized- painful, unbearable, ceaseless throbbing
Brutalized- thrashed and subjected to quite a drubbing

As hammer to anvil
As hammer…
As hammer to anvil
To anvil…

Forging death, upon this human anvil
Prepared to smite as I raise the handle
Writhe in pain, at the hammer’s blow
Hammer fells, like tolling bells
Ring out their dull and pounding knells
The final sounds, you’ll ever know

Lead - Wes

I smash your brittle bones to powder
Screams crescendo ever louder

Lead - Matt

Your shattered torso now gone to bits
A puzzle of pieces that no longer fit

As hammer to anvil
As hammer…
As hammer to anvil
To anvil…
