1. Death And Insanity
Death and insanity a flicker in the flame
Death and insanity are you truly sane?
Do you ever wonder when you're lying in your bed
Deep dark thoughts of trances coming flying through your head
You know you're truly stable but could your thoughts be the truth
A horde of groping parasites to haunt you in your youth
Sitting in the shadow of your stone cold padded cell
You dream the macabre dreams that you have come to know so well
Brain is pumping harder and about to hear the shriek
Of warriors wielding demon swords and death is what they seek
Could this really be the truth or is it really real?
Is it the depths of hell I see or insanity I feel
The triumphs of my dying mind shall overcome at last
Wicked evil leering eyes shall see me to my death
2. Goblet Of Gore
As the madman we all know who writhed on a crucifix
I too have been sacrificed by death and her tricks
Pursue the grail to make a wish and drink from the goblet of gore
Souls are but small giblets please death care for more?
In my anger ten more pills shall I gather seven hills?
Lock the horns into place call upon the human race
And I would pray: bitch which art in heaven above hallowed be thy name
Thy violence come mayhem be done on Earth as it has in Rome
Give us this day our daily gore forgive us for being poor
Cause maybe if we pay enough we can wield upon the whore!
I met an alter side of myself he said I don't know all but I'm learning
I'm tired of quiet revolution I feel a violent yearning
So gather your masses be masters of your fate
Be all that you sow there is war in the shadows I am the master of hate
Delivering the final BLOW!!!
We the people shall destroy!!!
The whore my lord she shall not want she eateth though I wield
She creates the bondage we are sheep in her field
Her cup runneth over with my blood and she wants more
Death I am your filthy grail your GOBLET OF GORE...
All that I sow... of this horrorshow!
3. Lethal Tendencies
Out of love out of mind out of food out of time
Those who live do not care a taste of war a taste of death
Die!
Live for the cross it has been said but in the end aren't we all dead
Death has come from 'cross the sea now realize reality
Time out of mind, carnage butchery leaving life behind lethal tendencies
Die!
Those who rest, the kiss of death is upon most every face
Feel the fire from the sky to diminish the human race
Die!
There lies no one here but me bloody bodies in the debris
Before I breathe my final breath peer into the face of death
Genocide they take you down to the burning pit of hell
You realize you're wondering what's the burning that you smell
Could it be the dying world or could it be the pit?
For if this is my hell for me then maybe I need it
4. Obituary
5. Plea Of The Aged
Death is drawing closer I'm fighting for my life
I know not how to stop it live through this pain and strife
Awakened in the nighttime I'm fighting for my life
Death is drawing nearer I'll soon be cold as ice
No longer do I trifle bones growing too old
Death longing to reach and grasp my unrelenting soul
When I'm lying at my rest they'll look upon my face
Cry their tears of dreadful mourn in their weakened daily pace
Remember me, hear my plea time's drawing nigh for me to die
Remember me, hear my plea take from this heart the bitter part
The world they will destroy me or put me in the ground
Stand around my gravesite with their heads all hanging down
When I'm lying at my rest they'll look upon my face
Cry their tears of dreadful mourn in their weakened daily pace
Staring at the ceiling the tubes glow in the dark
Fearless thoughts invade my head to tear my mind apart
Trapped within this feeling I feel it deep inside
Knock of death upon my door and I've no will to hide
Take from me my very soul with wretched mourning death
Take mine eyes for I have seen the hell in which we live
Take now from one man on earth who loved this life so much
Take away everything for it's all cold to the touch
Remember me, hear my plea soon the darkness I will see
Remember me, hear my plea for now another...
6. Suicide
I took the pills that made me fast to speed my brain future is past
Rapid pulsations upon my heart pulsing my blood from part to part
Suicide I'm still living suicide I'm still giving
To suicide I bring the gas to suicide I give my ass
Open the can I huff the fume ah, to me it is perfume
To suicide I swear an oath the human race I do loathe
Now I drive reckless speed with suicide I take the lead
I wish I had never been born my own past hear me mourn
Arm in arm I walk with death crazed words on my last breath
7. D.I.E.
We are all dying there's no sense in trying no way you can stop it no way
Death comes to you when you're an early son
Then he walks beside you all the way
Any moment he might strike reflecting your past life
And sentencing you to the grave
Don't live life worrying 'bout things you can't stop
If you give in then you'll be his slave
D.I.E. death in effect
He's our final conflict he's our final judge
He is death and he follows me
He is the force which exists on this earth
To betray and intimidate me
Only one way to win only one way to live
If you give in then you're going to pay
I'll be the conqueror I'll thrash till death
Exist for myself all the way
When I feel I am slipping they stand in my way
The people that might drag me 'round
I'll never worry I'm the killing force and I'm bringing the hammer down
You do not own me there are no rules society I will begrudge
Believe on thyself and thou shalt be saved
For thou art thine own final judge
8. Attack Of The Iguana
9. Nefarious
Taking you down to the dark depths of hell fire lies under your feet
I am the ruler of this dark domain murder is what I now seek
Demons above you are flying on high eternal death to come soon
Welcoming you to their fiery home welcome the legions of doom
Torture, waiting to die torment, you scream and you cry
Evil, in my eyes death, in the black of the night
Souls into bondage I take one by one behold their screams and their cries
Innocent victims lined up down the way each one is waiting to die
Only the evil survive in this place who have knowledge of the carnal soul
Death to the hungry now death to the weak I am in total control
Only the memories of lives they have spent linger in their mortal minds
Bow down the horned god of the black underworld now I will make you my prize
Farther and farther and farther you go spiralling out of control
Feeling the heat from my fiery home burning your innocent soul
Demons in fiery chariots come to take you on this molten ride
You and the others the rest of the world experiencing genocide
Farther and farther and farther you go spiralling out of control
Is this your hell or the world that you live for now it may well be as one
10. Nobody Lives Forever
Everyone is condemned to death time of execution unknown
Yet seek that which is within for the everyday fight in the horrorshow
Sword on your hip, cry on your lip charge upon beasts of your script
Misaligned verse I'm first to admit but life's stage knows no delay
Death the ultimate reality death the ultimate reason to live
No time no cordiality you've got to live because...
Nobody lives, lives forever I try not to slip on my sweat
Nobody lives, lives forever nobody lasts that long
I know when I reach my life's sum the addition will probably be wrong
That's okay I've made my mark pissed in public at least in the dark
When pissing in public one remembers traditions are passed on down the line
As a chamber pot is passed to your neighbor it's level grows higher everytime
Do you remember the times that you thrashed do you remember it was suicide
Like healing leeches we drew blood to exorcise your inhibitions
You'll reach the figure down the line who gives you the final wink
Now the pages seem to rhyme as you forgive and wash in his sink
I don't know if that is it or if we choose our sides
But heads have drowned in oceans of fear when there were only peaceful tides
11. Death And Insanity (Reprise)
Death and insanity a flicker in the flame
Death and insanity are you truly sane?
Be careful of what lies within or what you just might find
Evil beings who have come to sacrifice my mind
People try to rearrange me they will never see
The fear and the insanity that lies inside of me
