"Glowering At The Effervescent"
Glowering At The Effervescent
Drowning his sorrows
As he scowls at the world
The fakes - the trends
The obnoxious intrusions
With bubbling emptiness
They hide from themselves
With smiles of the vapid
Laughter of the ignorant
That vacant glaze behind their eyes
He sees through their facade
One last drink and he'll end it all!
Home is where you hang your hat
Home is where you hang your heart
Home is where you hang yourself!
Glowering At The Effervescent
By day he dreams
Of the night he'll die!
The dark-side beams
With emphatic revulsion
The grin of despair
Has claimed his mind
Imbibing until he blacks out
Indulging his ever-black cloud
Soothing like death's lullabye
He'll wake as another day unfolds
Home is where you hang your hat
Home is where you hang your heart
Home is where you hang yourself!
Home is where you take your strife
Home is where you take your knife
Home is where you take your life!
Give resting in peace a chance!
It's easier than romance!
Just let go and take the dirt nap!
(Solo)
Give resting in peace a chance!
It's easier than romance!
Just let go and take the dirt nap!
The world is fine without you!
The world will shine without you!
The world will never forget you...
Because the world has never known you!
You should die!
You should fucking die!
Kill them all!
Just kill them all!!!
Home is where you hang your hat
Home is where you hang your heart
Home is where you hang yourself!
Home is where you take your strife
Home is where you kill your wife
Home is where you end your life!

"I Heart Dead Girls"
On the street
Sweet piece of meat
She's just sixteen
Coy to the boys
Flirting with glee
She's such a tease
On the prowl
The bane of urge
Is on his way
He sees her smile
Is then beguiled
Such easy prey!
Fantasy - reality
Of beauty and the beast
Angel white bleeds devil red
The passion of deceit
(Solo)
Fantasy - reality
Of beauty and the beast
Angel white bleeds devil red
Deflowered when deceased
I heart dead girls!
Bent over and broken!!!
I heart dead girls!
Stomped into stains
And left for worms!!!
(Solo)
Fantasy - reality
Of beauty and the beast
Angel white bleeds devil red
Divine lividity
I heart dead girls!
Bent over and broken!!!
I heart dead girls!
Stomped into stains
And left for worms!!!
(Solo)
She pales in his presence
She wilts from his form
He grins and strikes her down
Smashes her face then fucks her corpse!

"Circling The Drain"
Out of your reach
Yet closer than
The skin you wear
Mortality begins to clench
Your heart
Wrings out despair
Beyond control
You're at the mercy
Of something else
That crushes butterflies
At whim
And knocks you off the shelf
(Solo)
Circling The Drain
Life is insane
Grasping and clawing
Constantly falling
Out of control
It doesn't slow
Faster and faster
Your life becomes null
Out of your reach
Yet closer than
The skin you wear
Mortality begins to clench
Your heart
Wrings out despair
Circling The Drain
Life is insane
Grasping and clawing
Constantly falling
Out of control
It doesn't slow
Faster and faster
Your life becomes null
Striving to live
The gift is a fib
All you receive is
A shiv to the ribs
Aging and wasting
Clogging and breaking
The pain never ends
'Til the end is the end
(Solo)

"The Sand Reckoner"
Bury your head in the sand
Lost in the desert of time
No one is known
From a pile of bones
The hour glass spins
And pours blindly
(Repeat)
Counting the grains that bind
Sifting with hands
That can't find
The meaning of that which is
And is not
The builder that builds
By destroying
With the crafting of loss
Lies the ultimate gain
(Solo)
Bury your head in the sand
Lost in the desert of time
No one is known
From a pile of bones
The hour glass spins
And pours blindly
Counting the grains that bind
Sifting with hands
That can't find
The meaning of that which is
And is not
The builder that builds
By destroying
With the crafting of loss
Lies the ultimate gain

"Souvenirs"
Strolling through the park
On a Sunday afternoon
Greetings from your 'ever friendly
Neighborhood serial killer
He's on his way to grab a girl
And rape her by the church
Under the sign of God
She's stripped and strangled
With her purse
Undressed - the creamiest flesh!
Baptized though not yet confirmed
A cross gleams around her neck
It's pulled off and kept
As a souvenir
Prowling as a wolf
Around the houses of the flock
Sinners need to be absolved
He'll help them as he stalks
To prey upon those who pray
He knows he cannot stay
He roams the land
And takes the lambs
Where faith has paved the way
Undressed - the creamiest flesh!
Baptized though not yet confirmed
A cross gleams around her neck
It's pulled off and kept
As a souvenir
(Solo)
Carefully he mounts his prize
As she slowly dies
She's as red as his phallic gift
While it throbs inside
Beneath her nails - a crucifix
A tattoo on his back
She claws and leaves some scars
As he takes her final breath
I will not worship at the altars
In the temples that are the liars lairs!
I will not kneel before a tyrant
Vowing my life because of casket fears!
(Solo)
I will not serve a falsified master
Sworn to bring about the Eschaton!
I will not walk upon a path well worn
I'll venture through the wilderness
Alone and unknown!
(Solo)
I will not worship at the altars
In the temples that are the liars lairs!
I will not kneel before a tyrant
Vowing my life because of casket fears!
I will not serve a falsified master
Sworn to bring about the Eschaton!
I will not walk upon a path well worn
I'll venture through the wilderness
Alone and unknown!
Undressed - the creamiest flesh!
Baptized though not yet confirmed
A cross gleams around her neck
It's pulled off and kept
As a souvenir

A Date With The Coroner

"A Date With The Coroner"
Eyes wide open
Glazed with pupils dilated
Shortness of breath
So close to death
Withered and weakened
Debilitated
Impulse to live
No strength to give
The body collapsed
A final revival
From seizing throes
To ceasing to be
A Date With The Coroner!
Mourning the loss
Of something never had
The pain is still carried
Nestled in the emptiness
No escape from the misery
Sorrow fills the sea
Of tragedy
Drowning in the bliss
To rest in peace
Living a lie as we slowly die
Antiquated prayers reflect
The grace within ignorance
Hapless is the faith
Of the falsifiers
Mourning the loss
Of something never had
The pain is still carried
Nestled in the emptiness
No escape from the misery
Sorrow fills the sea
Of tragedy
The anger of knowing
We're tethered to oblivion
Everything in the manifest
Is like water
In a mirage falling away
Into dissolution
Drowning in the bliss
To rest in peace
Living a lie as we slowly die
Antiquated prayers reflect
The grace within ignorance
Hapless is the faith
Of the falsifiers
(Solo)
Eyes wide open
Glazed with pupils dilated
Shortness of breath
So close to death
Withered and weakened
Debilitated
Impulse to live
No strength to give
The body collapsed
A final revival
From seizing throes
To ceasing to be
A Date With The Coroner!

"Slaughter In The Summer Sun"
Slaughter In The Summer Sun!
Carnage on the battlefield is always fun!
Happy-go-lucky in another hapless war
Blood of the enemy dripping off their swords
Slaughter In The Summer Sun!
Slaughter In The Summer Sun!
Mowing down their victims one by one
Shoot 'em in the face
Yeah! Fuck them up!
Grind 'em to the ground
You're up to snuff
A Slaughter In The Summer Sun!
Call the hordes to cull the herds
With rockets in their pants
Explosions emerge
The cheese in the breeze
Meets the pie in the sky
Like napalm under skirts
The apple of their eye
Another notch on the belt
Another medal beheld
Another head on the plate
Another semblence of fate
(Solo)
Call the hordes to cull the herds
With rockets in their pants
Explosions emerge
The cheese in the breeze
Meets the pie in the sky
Like napalm under skirts
The apple of their eye
All lubed up and ready to go
Locked and loaded
Machine guns in tow
Upward and onward
They're ready to blow
Like pearls before swine
It's time for the show
All lubed up and ready to go
Locked and loaded
Machine guns in tow
Upward and onward
They're ready to blow
Like pearls before swine
It's time for...
Another notch on the belt
Another medal beheld
Another head on the plate
Another leader to hate
(Solo)
Slaughter In The Summer Sun!
Carnage on the battlefield is always fun!
Happy-go-lucky in another hapless war
Blood of the enemy dripping off their swords
Slaughter In The Summer Sun!

"Coffin Cramps (Don't Last Long)"
Clawing! Crying!
Scratching, scraping, gasping!
Writhing only inches
In darkness - panic stricken!
Heaving! To breathe!
The softness holds no comfort
The sound above is shoveled dirt
Alive - you're in a grave!
A voice beyond states boldly
That coffin cramps don't last long!
Coffin cramps don't last long
Just lay still and be strong
There's no need to worry
'Cuz, coffin cramps don't last long!
The dread - the anguish!
Your pleas for help admonished
The muffled screams of fear
A dream - this cannot be real?!
Wake up - wake up!
You're losing consciousness!
Maybe - you can struggle and break free?
Hope is the bastion of humanity!
But as you try and try
All you hear is the reassurance that...
Coffin cramps don't last long
Just lay still and be strong
There's no need to worry
'Cuz, coffin cramps don't last long!
Coffin cramps don't last long!
Coffin cramps don't last long!
Coffin cramps don't last long!
Coffin cramps don't last long!
(Solo)
Coffin cramps don't last long!
Coffin cramps don't last long!
Coffin cramps don't last long!
Coffin cramps don't last long!
(Solo)
Clawing! Crying!
Scratching, scraping, gasping!
Writhing only inches
In darkness - panic stricken!
Heaving! To breathe!
The softness holds no comfort
The sound above is shoveled dirt
Alive - you're in a grave!
A voice beyond states boldly
That coffin cramps don't last long!
