We are all doomed to die Some sooner than others Let's pass the time we have With tales of terror Pull up a headstone Rest your weary bones Let me read you something From my moldering tome Terrifying tales For terrible children Terrifying tales For terrible children

At the crossroads Bottle of rum Clutched tight In his bony hand Top hat on his skull Tails and cane He will lead you from this land Your flesh will rot In the ground So you will not return Dig your grave Dig your grave Baron Samedi Loa of the dead Baron Samedi Loa of the dead In the swamps With the Mist and moss Hear the Low obscenities Naked Writhing On The tomb Dance the Necrology Sex and Cigars Are his tribute So you will not return Dig your grave Dig your grave Baron Samedi Loa of the dead Baron Samedi Loa of the dead

When I was young I was told How to get through the golden gates Don't do this, don't do that It all seemed kind of lame Fuck that shit! Populated by pious pricks Heaven seems like hell Why wait for some grand reward Gonna get it now She whispers in my ear So soft and gently She tells me to do what I will She has set me free All For the love of Satan Sex and blasphemy All For the love of Satan Drugs and sodomy I don't care if you’re happy I don't care if you die The world is here for my pleasure I'm a selfish kind of guy All For the love of Satan She will set you free All For the love of Satan Sex and blasphemy All For the love of Satan Power and money All For the love of Satan It all belongs to me Lick her skin A psychotic reaction The ecstasy And my mind explodes Wet and warm Like the blood of a baby It makes me fly Through the skies at night All For the love of Satan She has come for me All For the love of Satan She has come for me

Look to the skies Silver disks of death Harvester of doom From beyond the stars Look TO THE SKIES Watching us cool And unsympathetic Regarding our world With envious eye They’re here to cure The virus that is us Earth is all over Kiss it goodbye Metallic demons With gelatinous pilots Rip down buildings With but a whim Puny humans Watch them run Shooting rays of cold They explode from within Gaze into the void Look to the skies Harvester of doom Look to the skies We were complacent In our dominion Thought we were gods But were nothing to them We are no longer The top of the food chain To serve man Is no benevolent tome Gaze into the void Look to the skies Harvester of doom Look to the skies LOOK TO THE SKY The anti-men are coming RUN FOR YOUR LIVES It’s hailing death LOOK TO THE SKIES People heed the warning RUN FOR YOUR LIVES Cover your head LOOK TO THE SKIES Space ships strafing RUN FOR YOUR LIVES There’s nothing left LOOK TO THE SKIES They eat your dogs and daughters LOOK TO THE SKIES LOOK TO THE SKIES I've been probed And experimented on Like a child with a toy It wants to see how it works Torn apart But somehow still alive Gaze into the void Look to the skies Harvester of doom Look to the skies

It sits upon its throne of meat The cracked bell calls Come forth the faithful Out from the darkness Greasy figures writhe and wrangle Through oblique angles A dimensional doorway A garbage truck full of femurs rolls down Cobble stone streets Past stainless steel hook over hangs Just like a proscenium A river of blood trickles down a crack in the concrete Fiorello Laguardia grins with the knowledge Felippo Michilioh sharpens the knives Fiorello Laguardia grins with the knowledge Felippo Michilioh sharpens the knives Children can you hear the song of the color Yellow like piss Brown like a bruise Await the three-fisted hand of removal The ancient ones turn in their slumber You know deep down in your dreams what I say is true WHAT I SAY IS TRUE Gods walk among where you can't see them Gods walk among us Gods walk among us like germs on a doorknob Gods walk among us They whisper in darkness and wake from our dreams Gods walk among us Children can you hear the song of the color Yellow like piss Brown like a bruise Await the three-fisted hand of removal The ancient ones turn in their slumber You know deep down in you dreams what I say is true Gods walk among where you can't see them Gods walk among us Gods walk among us like germs on a doorknob Gods walk among us They whisper in darkness and wake from our dreams Gods walk among us In a hellfire dungeon a man with a saddle Is side-stepping a millionaire under a rug Hammering pins in the flesh of a minion As onlookers masturbate in abject approval Like a speakeasy you need the right password To get past the giant goon at the door Tell them that H.P Lovecraft sent you If they give you lip you give them what for Gods walk among where you can't see them Gods walk among us Gods walk among us like germs on a doorknob Gods walk among us They whisper in darkness and wake from our dreams Gods walk among us Ships from R'lyeh Bring their cargo Fresh from the sea To your table Red hook is teaming With swarthy sub humans Crouching in doorways Scheming their schemes Tentacled fingers Caress rusted harps Playing a tune Far away and familiar Walking the octagon In the east river Snug in my long coat I laugh in my dreams Gods walk among where you can't see them Gods walk among us Gods walk among us like germs on a doorknob Gods walk among us They whisper in darkness and wake from our dreams Gods walk among us

It's Alive! 05:08
Let loose the kites Elevate the slab Set the reactor to 5000 watts Give me more power, is that all you got I created this body With my own two hands Stitched him together Man creates man Wires and flesh Steel and bone It was my will and my will alone They all called me MAD! But now they all know! From these machines I hurl my lightning In the face of Eternity Your superstitions They mean nothing To someone like me In the name of God Now I know Just what it feels like To be GOD Throw the switches Pull the power Down from heaven’s grasp GIVE MY CREATION LIFE! My first sensation Is electrocution Like the sting Of 1000 bees All these voices Are all of them mine I can’t speak but I can hear them In my mind I remember darkness I remember flames Because of something I did Brought to life Without a question Against God’s plan That all men must die All men must DIE YOU made me repulsive You made me immortal You never gave me a name There is no afterlife, There is no consequence I have no conscience You made me like this You killed your god Now I kill mine We belong dead We belong dead

Even a man who is pure at heart And says his prayers by night May turn into a wolf when the wolf’s bane blooms And the autumn moon shines bright Long ago Off in the high lands In the night Far from my home land In the dark Something scratched my soul Now there’s Something inside me Something Decidedly not me Trying To wrest control Can’t set it loose Can’t set it free Can’t lose my humanity Tear off my flesh and reveal my true self Moaning at midnight I howl In the moonlight I cry In the moonlight you scream Hunt! Kill! Feed! In the moonlight I cry In the moonlight you scream Hunt! Kill! Feed! Back Home Back home in Brooklyn Late night Riding the F train Moonlight Shining on my skin I thought it was a dream Thought it wasn’t real Or did I just want this to happen Tear off my flesh and reveal my true self Moaning at midnight I howl Trapped inside this box There’s no place for you to run Hunt! Kill! Feed! In the moonlight I cry In the moonlight you scream Hunt! Kill! Feed! I wake up in Coney My clothes are all torn Blood on my breath What the hell have I done In 4 weeks it happens I will kill again Lock Me Away If I could kill myself I I could stop this madness Please Kill Me You don’t understand, this This is not delusion Please Kill Me It’s scratching to get out You should have listened to me Behold the moon rises in the night

So glad you all stopped by It warms my blackened heart To tell Terrifying tales To terrible children Terrifying tales for terrible children The sun begins to rise Burns away the shadows of the night I will tuck you into your grave For a long day’s sleep Don’t worry I’ll be around I’m your friend But not like the others From grade school to the grave When you’re in your bed alone and afraid The wet stab of regret ‘Cause you know this is all you get You will carry me Just like a tumor In dreams I walk with you Forever We'll meet again When dark clouds chase away sunny skies We'll meet again You won't know where but I'll know when We'll meet again we'll meet again On some dark and lonely road In the basement of your fears We'll meet again You won't know where but I know when We'll meet again The voices in your head That might be me All those things you think you see We’ll meet again Your ever present friend We’ll meet again When all your days turn to dust When your iron turns to rust We'll meet again You won’t know where but ill know when We'll meet again We'll meet again You won’t know where You won’t know when Your ever present friend We’ll meet again
