[music - Sean McGrath]
[lyrics - Ross Sewage]

Baiting the vain and aesthetically challenged
To my office of promise and false hope
Demarcating lines of incision for corporeal revision
The foundation laid for a malpractical joke

Tranquilized and secured on a gurney
Associates throng for the spectacle on which they thrive
Unconsciousness no escape as you lay wide awake
Our peers observe as your placed under knife

We'd like to welcome you to the operating theatre

My scalpel marks perforations on your countenance
Volsella securely fastened as I pull
As ligature is excised with no anasthesia
I'm sure you'll find this process quite painful

Fourteen bones degloved as periosteum is exposed
Bereft of palpebra, eyes starve for moisture
The nasal conchae and zygoma
Under chisel and mallet shall fissure

A jovial soir���©e for which our comrades have gathered
Relinquished admission and collude in our laughter
They applaud the disfiguring with needless suffering

Sing with the song of Impaled, Operating Theatre lyrics!

From this mutilation there will be no recovering

An abscinded face we'll replace with your posterior
Gaze through a brown-eye as your shit-faced in the mirror
Your visage is your end, the lips a sphincter instead
In our surgical troupe you're cast as the shit-head

Piercing adipose tissue
With rusted hooks and screws
To keep the crowd amused
You'll break a leg or two
With needle and ink I stain
Your skin, with text profane
No part is left unmaimed
This show's rather insane

We'll knock 'em dead in the operating theatre
The show must gore on in the operating theatre

As the curtain falls on another corpus-plasty
Chains jangle when the flesh they're sewn in twitches
You shant miss your cue as your body we abuse
It's not the audience, but you we've left in stitches

[solo: "Le Grand Guignol" by S.C. McGrath]

Artist Information

Profile:

Impaled was formed in the US in 1995 by Jared Deaver (guitar), Sean McGrath (guitar), Ron Dorn (bass) Raul Varela (drums) and Jeremy Frye (vocals). Jeremy soon left the band and Jared and Sean then both took over vocals. In 1997 they recorded their first demo, "Septic Vomit". Shortly after Jared received throat cancer and was forced to leave the band. He was then replaced by Leon del Muerte. "From Here to Colostomy", the second demo, was released in 1999 which featured Sean handling both guitar and bass. Ron's replacement was Tom Persons of Enthroned but his stay was short as he left soon. Ross Sewage (bass, vocals) of Exhumed then took his place and eventually became a permanent replacement. Same year they also did a split 7" EP with Cephalic Carnage. The band played several gigs and in 2000 they released their first full-length album, "The Dead Shall Dead Remain", along with the 7" split with Engorged and shortly after the band then went on a tour with Nile and Incantation. In 2001 the compilation EP "Choice Cuts" was released. After the release they embarked on tours with the likes of Vader, Origin and Skinless. After the tour Leon del Muerte left the band but was quickly replaced by Andrew LaBarre. In 2002 they released "Mondo Medicale" which was an instant succes. It was followed by the EP "Medical Waste" same year and the split cd "Dimentia Rex" with Haemorrhage in 2003.
