Cannibalism (from Caníbales, the Spanish name for the Carib people, a West Indies tribe formerly well known for their practice of cannibalism) is the act or practice of humans eating the flesh of other human beings. It is also called anthropophagy. A person who practices cannibalism is called a cannibal. Cannibals have also been depicted in media, such as the character, Hannibal Lecter.
While the expression "cannibalism" has origins in the act of humans eating other humans, it has extended into zoology to mean the act of any animal consuming members of its own type or kind, including the consumption of mates.
A related word, "cannibalize" (from which "cannibalization" is derived), has several meanings which are metaphorically derived from cannibalism and originally referred to the reuse of military parts. In manufacturing, it can refer to reuse of salvageable parts. In marketing, it may refer to the loss of a product's market share to another product from the same company. In publishing, it can mean drawing on material from another source.
Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer (May 21, 1960 – November 28, 1994) was an American serial killer and sex offender. Dahmer murdered 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991, with the majority of the murders occurring between 1987 and 1991. His murders involved rape, dismemberment, necrophilia and cannibalism. On November 28, 1994, he was beaten to death by an inmate at the Columbia Correctional Institution, where he had been incarcerated.
Dahmer was born in West Allis, Wisconsin, the son of Joyce Annette (née Flint) and Lionel Herbert Dahmer, an analytical chemist. Seven years later, his brother David was born. Joyce Dahmer reportedly had a difficult pregnancy with her elder son. When Jeffrey was eight years old, he moved with his family to Bath, Ohio. Dahmer grew increasingly withdrawn and uncommunicative between the ages of 10 and 15, showing little interest in any hobbies or social interactions. He biked around his neighborhood looking for dead animals, which he dissected at home (or in the woods near his home). In one instance, he went so far as to put a dog's head on a stake. Dahmer began drinking in his teens and was an alcoholic by the time of his high school graduation.

Looking for a cavern
A place where she can stay
Waiting for the darkness
When she leaves obsessed to make her way to me
Because it's getting to the time when she will need to feed and
I am the willing victim of a cannibal
She rips out my bones just like I'm an animal
And right when I'm feeling like my blood is drained
She calls it a game
But the wound that she leaves is unmistakable
I am not the only one that she has come to see
Dig up the skeletons of men who thought that they would be the
One like me
Like they could be the ones to make her believe
But for now
I am the willing victim of a cannibal
She rips out my bones just like I'm an animal
And right when I'm feeling like my blood is drained
She calls it a game
But the wound that she leaves is unmistakable
Hiding in corners disguised
She's a phantom, a glimmer inside
She keeps on feeding while I am conceding
So please won't you tear me open wide
I am the willing victim of a cannibal
She rips out my bones just like I'm an animal
And right when I'm feeling like my blood is drained
She calls it a game
I've got the brains
You're the body
And you're in my sights
I've a got a new set of problems
How to get you alone tonight
My head keeps revolving
I work so hard just to get a bite
Cannibal
Cannibal
Cannibal, Cannibal, Cannibal
Cannibal-oh-oh
Cannibal
Back to the game
To the subject
Sustenance is at stake
There's no accounting for taste
You've got yours, I'll get mine
I'll love you in my own way
And everything will be just fine
Cannibal
Cannibal
Cannibal, Cannibal, Cannibal
Cannibal-oh-oh
Cannibal
You've got a new set of problems
It's not your fault this time
Don't take this personally
Cannibal-oh-oh
Cannibal-oh-oh
Cannibal
Cannibal
Cannibal, Cannibal, Cannibal
Cannibal-oh-oh
Ripping off your head
Sucking out your eyes
Tearing all the muscle from your jaw
Smashing in your ribs
Pulping your insides
Ghoulishly devising all the ways of your demise
Grinding up your bones
Crunching up your teeth
Brutally dismembering your corpse
Snapping off your arms
Gorging on your flesh
These are the kind of pleasures I have risen for
My need will never be satisfied
My thirst for blood will never die
I'm gonna eat you alive
Cannibal
Back from the dead to take your life
If music be the sound of death, play on.
Gnawing at your face
Chewing on your gums
Eagerly consuming every part
Slurping up your lungs
Tearing off your lips
Wrapping a cold hand around your beating heart
Scattering your brains
Ripping out your throat
Gulping gouts of arterial red
Shattering your skull
Flaying off your hide
You can't withstand the fury of the living dead
My need will never be satisfied
My thirst for blood will never die
I'm gonna eat you alive
Cannibal
Back from the dead to take your life
If humans be the food of me, scream on.
Annihilating greed
Eviscerating fast
Not leaving you the time to run or scream
Inhuman cannibal
Devouring as you fall
A murdering psychotic death machine
Shredding hunks of flesh
Gnawing knuckles clean
Spilling out your guts on to the floor
Biting earlobes off
Sucking on your spleen
These are the kind of pleasures I have risen for
I'm a zombie
Flesh-eater
An undead
Flesh-eating
Cannibal
She is a cannibal and she likes me
Kind of ironic cause I dont eat meat
She is a cannibal
She is a cannibal
She is a cannibal and she likes me
I might be the anti-christ but thats ok
She might be christian and she might be gay
I might be the anti-christ
I might be the anti-christ
I might be the anti-christ but thats ok
Alone and godless
Blown away
I told you once i'm not gonna stay
You're living a lie
To purify
Alone and godless
Blown away
She is a cannibal and she likes me
Kind of ironic cause I dont eat meat
She is a cannibal
She is a cannibal
She is a cannibal and she likes me
Alone and godless
Blown away
I told you once i'm not gonna stay
You're living a lie
To purify
Alone and godless
I am in love,
With what we are,
Not what we should be.
And I am,
I am starstruck.
With every part,
Of this whole story.
So if it's just tonight,
The animal inside,
Let it live and die.
Like it's the end of time,
Like everything inside,
Let it live and die.
This is our last chance,
Give me your hands.
'Cause our world is spinning at the speed of light.
The night is fading, heart is racing.
Now just come and love me like we're gonna die.
Oh.
I'm not asleep, I'm up for the fight
Into the magic.
And I don't, want the concrete.
I am alive.
Comes with the tragic.
So if it's just tonight,
The animal inside,
Let it live and die.
This is our last chance, Give me your hands.
'Cause our world is spinning at the speed of light.
The night is fading, heart is racing.
Now just come and love me like we're gonna die.
Oh.
Oh.
Da da da da da da.
Oh.
This is our last chance, Give me your hands.
'Cause our world is spinning at the speed of light.
The night is fading, heart is racing.
Now just come and love me like we're gonna die. Oh.
Oh. Oh. Oh.
My appetite has no bounds
Strange as it may seem
A shameful urge possesses me
A throwback possibly
If I were a cannibal
You'd be the first to go
Or would I miss you too much
I already know
Would I miss you too much
Would I miss you too much
Suppose I should be put away
Then you would be free
From this perverted maniac
Then you would be free
Would I miss you too much
Would I miss you too much
What to do when life hits you
and makes you wonder
if you're living at all
what to wish for
if you had one wish only
what to do better
if you had the chance
would i be happy if I went back
and learned how to dance
would it be easy if I took the chance?
this is the real thing
you'll get no second chance
no helping hands
no easy way out
just do the right thing
you'll get no second chance
no helping hands
no easy way out
I should have kept you when I had you
I should have never let you go
I should have loved you like I ought to
but there is something wrong with me
I know there's something
I'm not doing right
but what is right
you tell me
I should have seen the light
but the light was shining
way too bright
and the noise was filling up my nights
My empty heart is starving for love
I don’t care what’s your name
Whoever you are, you’re on my aim
Looking at you groove groove girl groove
Makes my taste buds move move girl move
You look like an all you can eat buffet
Come on be my romantic pray
(Raka bam bum baby raka bum ba)
You’re what I crave for
Beware of the cannibal
Hunting you on the floor
Beware im the cannibal
(raka bam bum baby raka bum ba)
Terror striked this dark club
My sport is to eat a piece of your love
Hunting you from a distance
I want to taste you for an instant
Looking at you groove groove girl groove
Makes my taste buds move move girl move
You’re not the last you are my first entrée
Come on be my romantic pray
Come on baby rock this way
(raka bam bum baby raka bum ba)
You’re what I crave for
Beware im the cannibal
Hunting you on the floor
Beware im the cannibal
(raka bam bum baby raka bum ba)

Flickering in the city lights
Shine on lucky ones tonight
I drive through the night
Flickering phosphorescent lights
Guide me through my sick and twisted plight
To take away your life
I walked into the store
Saw faces I would change
Soon they'll be on the floor
Priorities arranged
I paced around and looked
For reasons not to steal
The light that beats within
I need so desperately
'Cause I am just a cannibal
And I will let you see
You are just an animal
With a soul soon set free
Murderers in limousines
Get caught then they get off scott free You...powerless in wishes
You glamourize the killers
And you glamourize the psychopaths Victims become faceless in suburban safeway grocery stands
I walked out of the store
Saw faces I had changed
Soon they'll be in the morgue
Priorities arranged
I drove around and thought
Of reasons not to kill
But light that beats within
I need so desperately
'Cause I am just a cannibal and I will let you see
You are just an animal with a soul soon set free
I'll bring you your deepest nightmares and haunt you when your gone
And I'll provide the entertainment the... Anger is a underestimated emotion (2x)
I drove around and thought
Of reasons not to kill
But light that beats with in I need so desperately
'Cause I am just a cannibal
And I will let you see
You are just an animal
With a soul I soon set free
I'll bring you your deepest nightmares and haunt you when your gone
[groaning]
You're in my heart
You're in my heart
And I'll start eating my heart
[I'm a] canni, canni, cannibal
You're in my stomach
You're in my stomach
And I'll start eating my stomach
Canni, canni, cannibal
You're in my brain
You're in my brain
And I'll start eating my brain
Canni, canni, cannibal
You're in my heart
You're in my stomach
And I'll stomach my brain
The hounds are a'howlin and the moon is so full
How bright are the stars whilst the dark can be so cruel
Hunting for prey across this ocean of a night
Capture and devour, come and sate your appetite
Cast your spell, I'll be a victim for you
Can't your smell, another victim for you ?
Throw me on the fire and I'll melt in the heat
The smell of burning flesh has never quite been so sweet
Tear the meant from the bone and leave nothing to waste
Have yourself a feast cos you're now got the taste
Cast your spell, I'll be a victim for you
Can't your smell, another victim for you ?
Can't you tell, I'll be a victim for you ?
So eat well, another victim for you
I wanna be seduced and ravaged
Your voodoo's working on me
I wanna be debauched and savaged
Broken out of a window in hell.
Chairs made of human skeletons...
Broken out of a window in hell.
Chairs made of human skeletons...
Cannibal...
Chairs made of human skeletons...
Chainsawed fingers and bones...
Cannibal...
Mwa-ha-ha-ha...
Cannibal...
Thrash it bash it live to smash it
Light the spark reach out and crash it
Rip it stronger grind it longer
Harder faster rabbit master
Sleeping beast rest in peace
Far too primal
Rip the flesh taste of death
Bite the gristle
Killing game primitive inquisition
Tear it up inside out
Small incision
Assimilate trust in hate
Your obsession
Celebrate assassinate
Your religion
Us and them hollow field
Sensing fear
Cannibal can't believe you're a person
Cannibal
Chop it up peel the skin
Slow dissection
Sick minds I'm blind to the reason
Tune it up touch down
Angel grinder
Cannibal watch and prey on the victim
Cannibal
KIlling game
Watch and prey on the victim
Rabid beast
I hate the way you live, taking more than you give. Cannibal, we're gonna pay the price for your appetites. Your body's a cemetery, and you'll drown in your own waste. We're getting sick of the taste. You're dead inside; I can smell it on your breath. You're dead inside; you'll take until there's nothing left. There's nowhere to hide...
Expedition of death our story begins
Aboard the barge deception
Down the river of sins the winding and the bends
There will be no tomorrow
Forced to take a path on land
The trail is over grown
Your tour guides flee because they are scared
But some power is driving us on
[Bridge:]
You can't see - you fall into the sand
You struggle for life - but you are damned
It's futile to run - they're right on your heels
Your life's almost over - that is the deal
[1st Chorus:]
The cannibals are coming for you
They will hunt you down
Drooling all over themselves
Making all grunting sounds
We come to a clearing feel a gush of air
With a smell so disgusting
We all gasp and reel it smells like a meal
Finally see what we searched for
A village in this hell all people covered in mud
They look as they smell
As one looks upon that sacred pole of death
You shake in despair
[Bridge]
[2nd Chorus:]
The cannibals are coming for you
They will hunt you down
Drooling all over themselves
Making all grunting sounds
Breathing hot breath on you
There is no escape
All they want to do is chew
They'll have you on their plates
At least we realize we become disdraught
The fear is too much to take
But too late to run, they surround us all
With their knives and stakes
Make a plan to escape, the cannibals move in
With hunger in their eyes
They get one person, time to dig in
The hounds are a'howlin and the moon is so full How bright are the stars whilst the dark can be so cruel Hunting for prey across this ocean of a night Capture and devour, come and sate your appetite
Cast your spell, I'll be a victim for you Can't your smell, another victim for you ?
Throw me on the fire and I'll melt in the heat The smell of burning flesh has never quite been so sweet Tear the meant from the bone and leave nothing to waste Have yourself a feast cos you're now got the taste
Cast your spell, I'll be a victim for you Can't your smell, another victim for you ? Can't you tell, I'll be a victim for you ? So eat well, another victim for you
up on the roof top my head explodes
just like the fourth of july
i'm about to say i'm about to want you so
i just feel blue like so many other times
don't put my name to shame
i listen when my mama calls me
i ain't no broad-faced lie
trying to take anybody off to see
i listen when my mama calls me
i an't no broad faced lie
trying to take anybody off to see
i got 'em in the live
gotta get this thing off my head
why'd you lead me around for so long
like nobody can
don't you know what kinda guy i am
don't put my name to shame
i listen when my mama calls me
i ain't no broad-faced lie
trying to take anybody off to see
i listen when my mama calls me
i ain't no broad-faced lie
trying to take anybody off to see
why'd you lead me around for so long
like nobody can
Cannibal
I'm the Machiavellian reincarnation of evil
My name was written with blood and fire
I'm a bizarre creation, a new form of life
Who walks along the sinister park of the
Dark human existence
I'm prepared for my flesh feast
I need fresh human meat
I hide my victims
I will come for you
Silver moon rises above the trees
The cold winter wind is singing
Blasphemous death songs
My inner demons whisper me
The secret of my violent mission
Now is the time to hunt new human victims
My knife will cut your internal organs
Your skin will be peeled and stripped
Off the bone
The power to kill is on my mind
Mutilation by knives
Hammers cracking open your skull
Human blood give me the eternal energy
To be immortal!
I'm slipping into madness!
Morbid visions of murders!
The voices of my victims!
Torture me!
Cannibal
I'll eat... your brain... I will drink... your blood!
Faces... of horror... I need... your flesh!
Mutilation... of corpses... I am a... psychopath!
