Issei Sagawa

In the morning light I felt a hunger grow
A twisted need that only I could know
Her skin so soft a fragile dream
Underneath the sun I made her scream

In my apartment the silence broke
I sealed her fate with every stroke
I savored her the taste of sin
A monster proud of what's within

Flesh of fame bite the shame
From death to glory it's all the same
A monster's pride they'll never know
How infamy makes the fire grow
Flesh of fame can't escape
A soul for sale a twisted fate
From prison walls to the starry lights
I stand above in the darkest nights

Back in Japan I walked the streets
Books and cameras the world at my feet
A life of lies a story sold
Of fantasies twisted cruel and bold

Three years behind the iron gates
But now I'm free I celebrate my fate
The price of flesh the taste of death
A legacy carved in the blood I left

Flesh of fame bite the shame
From death to glory it's all the same
A monster's pride they'll never know
How infamy makes the fire grow
Flesh of fame can't escape
A soul for sale a twisted fate
From prison walls to the starry lights
I stand above in the darkest nights

A nightmare carved in memory's bone
A feast that left me so alone
Yet in the lights I stand so tall
A monster crowned above them all

Flesh of fame it's all the same
I'll live forever in this twisted game
From death to fame the world won't care
A monster proud with no despair
