lyrics

Beaten by father with a belt at age four.
Calling me stupid, I could never please him.
The man I was no good for.
Young men, they lured me inside my fantasy.
Let me tell you what happened to me.
I’m the true victim in this story.

I was the only judge, jury.
Executioner of many.
My property.
Clowns get away with murder.

They want to see my handcuffs and magic trick.
Then they seduce me to torture and murder them.
They begged for the very last trick.
Suffocation, asphyxiation, strangulation.
Maybe their minds were sick.
No tears from this clown.

Chorus:
Stupid child, don’t cry.
Pretty boys must die.
I am not to blame, I’m insane.
Stupid child, don’t cry.
Pretty boys must die.
I am not to blame, I’m insane.

I was the only judge, jury.
Executioner of many.
My property.
Clowns get away with murder.

Bodily fluids leaking under my house.
Hiding their bodies.
Putrid smell of death, because death is the ultimate thrill.
In prison, it came for me.
My death, my destiny.
The needle inside of me.
Now do you see?
Pretty boys must die.

Chorus x 2

about

Horrorwish Belgium

In 2019, HORRORWISH was created by musician/producer GIO SMET. Gio wanted to combine his passion for horror tales with intriguing metal music.

On April 3th, 2020, the debut album 'NO PLACE TO HIDE’ was released. ... more
