AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON
There will come a day when you realize
That everything that you have been doing
And everything that you’ve been up till now
Has been nothing but a sham
A sick and twisted lie
The crumbling skull behind the smile
The sleight of hand that emptied the collection plate
And to all of those who’ve said
That they’d gone out for some milk
Or have gone out for a pack of smokes and never came back
We say, “What the fuck!”
What the fuck
What the fuck
But everybody needs a fix
Some time or another
And when the bough breaks
And the cradle will fall
We’ll be waiting there for you
Ready to do you in
And the disinfected hands with that extra scent of lemon
Will still be filthy no matter how hard you scrub
Like the trace of washed blood at the bottom of the drain
We’ll find you out
We’ll find you out
The spit in the eye
And the kick in the balls
The it’s-not-you-it’s-me/s
And the what-if-they-made-it-all-ups
We may fall on deaf ears
But in the end, you bet your life, we’ll find you out
We’ll find you out
But forgive us our trespasses
And lead us to temptation
Cause everybody needs a fix
Some time or another
And when the bough breaks
And the cradle will fall
We’ll still be waiting there for you
We’ll still be ready to do you in

Into The Black

INTO THE BLACK
Heads will roll
The skies are falling
Time goes black
And here you are
The oceans drown
Angels clash
This is the time
To get it together
Black leather confused preacher listening
In the solitary confinement of confession
Looking for stiletto Christ in everything
Having to make do with all the silence
Apocalyptic
Voodoo doll
Stick a needle in its eye
And hope to die
Heads will roll
The heavens are collapsing
This is the time
To get it together
Cool like a razor – crucifix in your hand
Hanging on to it like a gun
And you think you’ve found a place to rest your weary head
But you’re sleeping in a barbed wire bed

ONE MAN’S POISON
Do not speak
Do not write anything down
Sew the mouth shut
Dr. Guillotine’s in town
Silence is obedience
Silence is obedience
Bow down to obedience
Only know obedience
Do not speak
Do not reach out to the world
Take this sword
It is mightier than the pen
We are kings (authority!)
We are kings (authority!)
Iron fist (authority!)
We are kings (authority!)
Kamikaze fighters
Nosedive into Heaven
Nothing’s shocking
As a million hits are reached
Voyeurs in a vacuum!
Voyeurs in a vacuum!
Voyeurs in a vacuum!
Voyeurs in a vacuum!
Do not leave
From the comfort of your home
Kick your feet up
Watch the guts fall to the floor
Living in a snuff film
Voyeurs in a snuff film
Living in a snuff film
Every day’s a snuff film

Lullaby

LULLABY
Come inside
Leave your bones by the door
Step this way through the fire
The flames will do you good
Ignore what Kinski said
For the jungle’s a terrible place
Just set your eyes to the sky
Don’t fear the blue gates
Let the Katakuris lead you
Go softly, eyes to the sky
And go forth singing
Always singing at the foot of the volcano
Go lightly
Satan has come and is welcomed with open arms
A man finds solace in a bottle
That stores up the tears of a many misunderstood night
Waits in vain for a “plus one”
Who’s been scratched off of the guest list for declaring
This Muzak is numbing
But it’s out there for the taking
It’s the virus that you download
The vodka for your loneliness
Yes, it’s out there for the taking
It’s the virus that you download
The vodka for your loneliness
Satan has come and is welcomed with open arms
Taint by number
The other side of the coin
The darkness over Celebration, Florida
The sinner and the saint
You need it
There is no one without the other
The gas mask and the suicide bomber
Go softly
There is no one without the other
So, ignore what Kinski said
For the jungle’s a terrible place
But the morning will still come
Satan has come and is welcomed with open arms

ALL THE BLESSINGS YOU CAN GET
The word from up above is law
That which was shall be again
The world turned upside down
17 seconds
Then you’re down
Sink or swim
Stay underground
Keep the camera on the crowd
And a searchlight in the dark
To keep you in your place
Sound the alarm if someone talks
Make that call if you suspect
Resist, reject, and undermine
Truth or lie
The ties that bind
Your own you own
We’re here to find the missing link
Put it together, and then bang!
Hand over heart; hand on the book
Something to slaughter
Take the oath
Shadows curtsy on the walls
We know where you lay your head
So take this hand

Going Out With A Bang

GOING OUT WITH A BANG
Kiss the paper thin Christ
Taste the blood in the wine
Knick knack paddy whack
Pocket full of stones
Fessing up to sins committed
Making room for more
In a holy city
In a lonely city
In the sacred city
Where Denial leads the blind
Kiss the paper thin Christ
Drink five bottles of wine
Poke out those eyes
Cut out your heart
Chop off your head
There’s no need for those anymore
Punish your reflexes
Deny your natural instincts
Gouge out those eyes
For you’re in the hands of God
Knick knack paddy whack…
Kiss the paper thin Christ
Drinking all of the wine
In a holy city
In a lonely city
In the sacred city
Where anything fools the blind
Values and morals –
Inventions of man
Define your own concepts
Define your own life
Enjoy what you can
For soon you’ll be dust
Take it or leave it
‘Cause you can’t bring it with you in the end
Sin is subject to change
Do what you want
Spit on the cross:
Spit! Spit! Spit!
Knick knack paddy whack…
Knick knack paddy whack
Pocket full of nails
Bringing out the best in you
Crucify your foes
Burn the paper thin Christ
Passing out on the floor
