I don't need sleep
Exhaustion is nothing compared to my urges to end life
Nights in the streets
Bludgeoned and stabbing my way through the darkness to first light
No, don't think me a monster
Because I take my pleasures in death
From where I stand it is mercy
Humane slaughter
Can’t you see I'm just trying to do them a favor?
Life is all downhill from here, I just want them to be spared
They've all had such good lives up until this point
But now, I get to fucking kill them
And how they fucking die, I decide
Some call it psychopathic I call it a win-win
Maybe a pair of lovers? Walking home from the perfect date
Maybe a pair of runners? Who like to exercise at night
Maybe a pair of brothers? Just drinking beers and watching the game
Maybe some babies and their mothers? Maternal love and innocence incarnate slain
This is how I'll kill you all
Come up from behind, quietly raise my crowbar high
The weight of my selfishness cracking through your fucking heads
Take my knife, brain stem severed at speed of light to make certain you don't suffer
Murdered in kind
Because killing’s not the problem
Surely it's the manner of death
Death for simple pleasure is deemed fair trade
Insane to be so humane
Humane Slaughter, oxy-moronic
If I painlessly kill someone you love
Does less suffrage justify ending life
Or does dead mean fucking dead; it's not your place to decide
Humane Slaughter, oxy-moronic
When it’s forced upon innocent beings who don’t want to die
If death by kind is fine for enslaved beasts on the farm
Why not strangers free to walk the streets I prowl in the night
Dead is fucking dead
Humane Slaughter?
Dead is fucking dead
Don’t try to sugar-coat it

My first exposure to Inferi was seeing them live with Shadows of Intent. They were supporting this album.
Unbelievably awesome live show and the greatest possible way to discover this amazing band.
Love everything they produce. Obstacle of Affliction
