  • If I cut off your arms and cut off your legs
    Would you still love me anyway?
    If you're bound and you're gagged, draped and displayed
    Would you still love me anyway?
    Why don't you love me anyway?

    Cutting with the knife, blood is spilling everywhere
    She will be my wife
    Secondary spine
    Incisions must be accurate
    I know just what to do
    My hands are trembling
    I can't spare to slip up with this knife

    Her beauty so illogical
    The beast come gliding in
    Hideous chameleon stripped down to her skin
    Dance to the burning flame
    Pleasure exhumes the pain
    The night bursts into flame
    Dance Helena... Dance

    If I cut off your arms and cut off your legs
    Would you still love me anyway?
    There's a spot on the floor where your limbs used to be
    And I close the door on my fantasies
    Why don't you love me anyway Writer/s: MICHAEL C. EMANUEL, PAUL CAIAFA

  • Larry from ChicagoClean My Wounds was originally done by Thin Lizzy.
  • Julian from DenverSounds like Clean my Wounds by Corrosion of Conformity, but still one of my all time favourites.
  • Jlicano from DenverThe middle section also is a partial homage to Metallica's Welcome Home Sanitarium
