"Arbiter of the Abattoir"

With the glint of steel
And steel eyed glare
The arbiter exhibits
A devotion to exterminate
As a flesh carver extraordinaire
There's no casual casualties
For the...

Arbiter of the Abattoir!
Arbiter of the Abattoir!!

Reckless abandon
To relish the hellish
Free form execution
Mindlessly killing
While searching for the soul
A bag of tricks
To castigate the insurmountable
Atheistic fascination
Fascist inclinations
Rebuking life
No value in
Unquantifiable prose
The poetry of nature
Even less than
So, now orchestrate
The delightful butchery

(Solo)

Reckless abandon
To relish the hellish

So, now orchestrate

(Solo)

Hunger of the hunter
Striking with the hammer
Smashing down!
Lightning bolts and thunder
Quick as a flash
It's showered down
A god of his own making!
There's not ever any questioning!
Absolute power - absolute deception
The irony of ironies
The blood within the veins

There's no words to express
The music - music of the singing blade
Slicing as the gushing gashes
Spill a sprawling serenade
There's a hint of deep
Ambrosia wafting in the orgone air
A fragrance of such eloquence
Eliciting a stirring...

(Solo)

Knock, knock!
Who's there?
Nobody's home...
What's answering?
The animating principle?
Thoughts without a thinker
How can this be?
What's it all about
If not for mystery?
