Cannibal Corpse - Five Nails Through The Neck Lyrics






Knock him out with chloroform
Surreptitious trapping tack
Drag the body to the trunk
Take the captive to the house and down into the basement

Binding method is extreme
Unconscious I will pierce the hands and feet
Arms and legs nailed to the wood
Beneath the table blood is forming shallow pools

Perforate the abdomen
Punctured organs start to fail
Mounting pain revives the man
His gaze meets mine then panic starts, the nails leave him immobilized

Head is thrashing from the pain
I must nail it to the wood with long sharp nails
Penetration of the flesh
Five dozen nails will hold him down

Five nails
My hammer pounds them, the steel secures him
Five nails
My victim conscious, he is immobile
I raise my hammer, and aim for the throat

Five nails through the neck

Trachea is torn
Gasping sounds are heard
Life is leaving him
But not soon enough

Agony, torturous

Long nails penetrate
Through the flesh and bone
Table dripping blood
Victim full of holes

Suffer, merciless

[Solo: Pat O'Brien]

Five nails through the
Five nails through the neck

60 nails adorn the fool
12 on each leg and arm
4 of them aerate his face
3 puncture his abdomen and leave his vitals oozing

I step back and view my work
Torture victim lies drained of life
Outside world will never know
How many nails the victim felt before he died

Five nails through the neck

  3. M.... 2....

    1:30 five words until pause half
    3:03 five words until pause half again

  4. C.... V....

    Two great things about this: the lyrics, and Corpsegrinder's super low gutturals at the middle section.

  5. K.... S....

    Bullshit 😂

  6. T.... B....

    I proudly genuinely like this song..

  7. T.... ....

    F O D A

  8. R.... M....

    not brutal enough, I heard "him" way too many times.

  9. R.... A....

    Putain je suis un grand fan de de cannibale corpes 😎🎸☢️☣️

  10. H.... Q....

    Someone should make an emo song from the victim's perspective, but then the punchline is that its all a metaphor for being rejected by some girl he met Cx

    H.... Q....

    Herb Quest your wish is my command.

  11. T.... ....

  15. T.... K....

    There was maniac with nickname "Fisher" who killed and tortured a lot of young boys by methods this song sings...)..and also there is a member of the band with last name Fisher..)

  16. Y.... Q....

    clímax 1:32

  17. S.... S....

    Vocals mess the song up. Why don't you guys stop pretending that it is a talent to scream stupid stuff for 4 minutes straight, damaging your throat in the process. This shit isn't art, it's analogous to post modern art museums.

  18. R.... H....

    Ahh I love George so much.

  19. b.... p....

    I'll be honest, it was quite difficult for me to get into this song at first because this one of the most sporadically structured songs from Cannibal I've ever heard, especially the sudden changes leading up to and even during the breakdown. Now it's one of the songs I go back to most on Kill.

  20. b.... p....

    1:24 - 1:51 The best part of the song. Especially that chord until 1:30. Hard for me to get over how haunting, evil and heavy it is.

    b.... p....

    bassman plays best part 0:00 - 3:48

  21. �.... �....

    "60 Nails Adorn the Body"
    Jesus's pussy ass could only handle 3. 🤣

  34. E.... ....

    I was in the middle of heavy traffic and had my windows down on a hot summer's day. I had this song playing quite loudly at a stop. There were tons of cars around me, and none of them were particularly enjoying my music, but nevertheless minding their own business. Then the vocals came in at 1:40 . About 30 heads slowly turned around from the adjacent cars and looked at me like..... wtf???

    E.... ....

    Lmaaooo. I would head bang with you if I was in traffic

    E.... ....

    EyesOfFrozenMeat brutal

    E.... ....

    E.... ....

    J.... L....

    Thanks!

  41. m.... ....

    The riffage in this song is just too awesome. That walk down at 1:15 is absolutely rib-spreading.

  42. E.... ....

    wow it isnt a skill, just listen carefully and look at the lyrics later(?)

  43. T.... F....

    THIS SONG MAKES ME WANT TO heal the sick :D

  44. e.... ....

    I listen to every subgenre of metal and have every except power industrial folk and metalcore in my cd collection

    e.... ....

    Folk punk is decent, never got into folk metal either. You should check out Jonny Hobo

  45. A.... ....

    One of my favorite songs. Also thats nice for you to put that picture at the end of the song.

  46. A.... ....

    There's some kind of an actual meaning: the same thing as for watching horror movies. But if you're looking any kind of meaning beyond that, like, the meaning of life or a reflexion on Friedrich Niezsche's works (beyond "God is dead", that is), it's most probable that you won't find it.

  47. s.... ....

    "We don't sing about politics. We don't sing about religion...All our songs are short stories that, if anyone would so choose they could convert it into a horror movie. Really, that's all it is. We like gruesome, scary movies, and we want the lyrics to be like that. Yeah, it's about killing people, but it's not promoting it at all. Basically these are fictional stories, and that's it. And anyone who gets upset about it is ridiculous."

    -George Fisher from Cannibal Corpse

    s.... ....

    Kantanaeyegaming yeah most horror films nowadays are too silly and aren't serious or scary. Note most, not all

    s.... ....

    TRUMP MAGA

    s.... ....

    Thats the thing about death metal and horrorcore.. Dont listen to one if ur a fucking snowflake and get upset by them.

    s.... ....

    Some death metal like death have actually a meaning and critics the society (political corruption, killing rapist, children born addicted whit drugs, sickness, evil of the human mind ecc ecc) not only horror stories. Death metal like grindcore and black metal are not genre for idiot whiteout meaning, they describe how evil can be the human, black metal have a interesting story of paganism and how abramathic religions destroy that culture around Europe, grindcore talk about politics and how people are ignorant and how humans suck (cripple bastards),

    death metal just describe the atrocities that happend every fucking day on this planet, demons, zombies, yookai and other horror creatures are not true but killers, cruel tyrants ecc ecc are actually true, sick people that do the worst thing that a human can do are actually real, even death metal can be political like grindcore but talk more on the cruel thing that they do. People prefer love song and there's no of bad in that, but when they critics this genres for their brutality (when they are the first that watch film horror) just don't understand the critics behind that, people forget how this world its evil not only flowers, they forget about terrorist, killers, gangstar and other shit???? Why if we actually talk about this thing by their real form they hate that, "negative songs" that people accept are only about sadness by engages and teenagers, and when they talk about criminality they only talk about be cool, but when actually a genre like death metal remember that gangster actually do horrible things or describe the atrocities of war....... NO TO MUCH VIOLENCE, fuck off.

    s.... ....

    @seppuku666 u can do it

  48. b.... ....

    Deicide.

  49. J.... S....

    true shame its so hard to find this song on yourube

  50. B.... H....

    at 1:40 he steps on a lego

  51. d.... ....

    I can understand the "growling" in a lot of their slower songs, but after I look at the lyrics, it becomes shockingly easy to comprehend. As for wanting to get into Death Metal, you chose a great first band to listen to. Cannibal Corpse was the first real death metal band I listened to. If you're looking for more, I would definitely check out the Metal Blade Records website, they sign a lot of really good metal bands. But first, you should decide on what subgenre of metal you like the most.

  52. R.... ....

    Feel free to insert Bieber in the search bar.

  53. d.... ....

    This band is one of the oldest death metal bands around, and is one of the first to make it this fast. The torture is definitely what they write their songs about, as do most death metal bands, but, as i have extensive knowledge of the genre, i find my own meaning in these seemingly meaningless songs.

  54. K.... D....

    What did I just listen to? I feel like since I know nothing of this band, I shouldn't judge this song that seems like they brutally torture people. Is there a deeper meaning to this song? Or is it really just about torture, and that cannibal corpse promotes it?

    K.... D....

    just violence....this is not suposed be taken srsly
