Rigor Mortis - The Rack lyrics

rate me

In the dungeon's where it waits

Locked down in this cold wet place

For good or bad it has been used

Many have died to pay their dues

Made from wood and chains of steel

Tighten the rope by turning wheel

[Chorus:]

The wheel is turning, it never stops

Ripping in half ripping apart

Once turning it cannot stop

Rip you in half, rip you apart

The wheel is turning, it never stops

Ripping in half ripping apart

Once turning it cannot stop

Rip you in half, rip you apart

Muscles snap from pounds of tension

Arms and legs meet dislocation

Stretched to then past the breaking point

Pulling hip bones out of joint

Don't beg don't plead don't even try

I've met the rack it's time to die

[Repeat Chorus]

Tied, gagged, and broken separation is complete

The rack fulfills it's purpose, dividing bone and meat

For confession or for torture it's grip never releases

The rack has claimed another life

My body lies in pieces
