lyrics

"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
