- The Rack Lyrics / with translationsIn the dungeon
Deep under ground
A morbid fear
Palpitations, unbearable pound
Footstep outside the stairway
Executioners's arrival
A sinister procession
Grim macabre tribunal
Heretical pervert
Inexorable judge
The sentence is death
By the grace of the church
Inside the torture chamber
The smell of blood and pain
Iron is glowing in pits of fire
Instruments of the insane
The Rack: Altar of blood
The Rack: Altar of pain
Suffocate in blood
Bones pulverized
Mutilated tissue
Eviseration
Sawed off limbs
Emasculation
Human leftovers
A smouldering mess
Atrocious performance
Methods of madness
Inside the torture chamber
Instruments covered with stains
The rack has taken his victim
Beyond the boundaries of pain
Deep under ground
A morbid fear
Palpitations, unbearable pound
Footstep outside the stairway
Executioners's arrival
A sinister procession
Grim macabre tribunal
Heretical pervert
Inexorable judge
The sentence is death
By the grace of the church
Inside the torture chamber
The smell of blood and pain
Iron is glowing in pits of fire
Instruments of the insane
The Rack: Altar of pain
Suffocate in blood
Bones pulverized
Mutilated tissue
Eviseration
Sawed off limbs
Emasculation
Human leftovers
A smouldering mess
Atrocious performance
Methods of madness
Inside the torture chamber
Instruments covered with stains
The rack has taken his victim
Beyond the boundaries of pain

When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, Asphyx's 'The Rack' tells the story of medieval tortures through the most terrible and horrible things to picture, and the also very extreme and powerful metaphors of 'angel of blood' and 'angel of pain' to show the great suffering and savagery of that time. The rack lyrics are mainly focused on feelings like fret, hopelessness, provocation and social criticism, and also on the melancholic side of life. The song, however, does not hesitate to proclaim the grim significance of torture, suffering, death, execution, and religious persecution. The text presents very graphic and gory scenes, as well as the most brutal forms of torturing, cutting off body parts, or killing, which make it an unsuitable piece for an audience of less than 17 years old.
