1. Dogmen (Of Planet Earth)
Ten thousand years to roam
the man from space is home
what's this before his eyes?
destruction supersized
no fauna to be found
and nothing green grows
from the ground...just brown
Humanity no more
just like the dinosaur
but wait what beast is this?
charging with club in fist
some hybrid human hound
laser drawn as more surround...him now
Eating everything they can
surely starved the son of man
multiplying everyday
eat whatever's in their way
He blasts a bloody path
back to his landing craft
the rocket's fiery roar
burns Dogmen beyond the door
"A pox upon this place!"
the colonizer curses his race...from space
Burning oil blots the sun
every species gone but one
suck the marrow from the Earth
rob their children's right of birth
for all it's worth
2. Soldier Of Misfortune
My grandpa fought in the First World War
my daddy died in World War II
they fought the good fight for freedom's sake
so I will do my duty too.
The leering face of my Uncle Sam
his finger's pointing right at me
I need you now, son, in Vietnam
to do my dirty work for me....and make 'em free!
Yeah, free to slave away for my democracy
free to make my shoes and drink my Coca Cola
well let me ask you this
what price is freedom? I'll tell you what price....
the lowest we can get
Dawn patrol---was a rainy night
rumors of the enemy
we got caught in a firefight
two men down in front of me
I'm spraying lead from my M-16
like water from a garden hose
shooting shapes in the morning mist
I thought I shot my deadly foes...how could I know?
As I run through the jungle
to see what it was I killed
oh my God! A mother and her baby child
What have I done?
'cause these people ain't no fucking Nazis
this is just their home
Brother in arms
I fear it's too late
a babe in her arms
my smoking gun has sealed their fate
and it's too late
So now I hang from a jungle tree
captured by the Vietcong
steely knives smiling up at me
they split my guts and now they're gone
I done them wrong
Wrong to see so many people
die for ill-thought ideas
sucked up and spit out by the war machine
you tell me some wars are just...I guess
but let me tell you this
most are just war
A vision beckons me beyond the pain
endorphins carry me to a higher plain
I'm tripping harder than I ever have before
oh, future's locked away I open up the door
to more misfortune
I'm a solider of misfortune
I see my nephew now grown to be a man
he is a soldier too, but in the desert sand
oh no!
shot full of holes
he's bleeding on the ground
I hope his cause was just and not another round
of more misfortune
He's a soldier of misfortune.
3. The Gas
Tendrils of green finger the sky
the gas is inching ever closer
it's your turn to die
psycho-sexual fantasies wracking my brain
feeding my bloodlust
feeling no pain
Why am I acting out like this?
why do I feel this way?
the world is crumbling down around me
don't know what to say
basest instincts realized
can't hide from myself
when will this nightmare ever end?
time will only tell
Blood is flowing in the streets
I don't know where to hide
naked women claw at me
can't stem the rising tide
no comfort in my family
no freedom from my friends
I join the madness all around
and wait for the end
Why am I acting out like this?
why do I feel this way?
the world is crumbling down around me
don't know what to say
basest instincts realized
can't hide from myself
when will this nightmare ever end?
time will only tell
The gas is getting thinner now
effects they still remain
I feel I'm getting hotter now
I know you feel the same
we drive off to the countryside
find solace by ourselves
the gas is far behind us now
but we're still trapped in Hell
Basest instincts realized
can't hide from myself
when will this nightmare ever end?
time will only tell
I know I can't stop it now
I don't know what to do
I look around and realize
the Gas is Me, the Gas is You
4. Woman On Fire
Sweet goody bishop
won't you take my hand?
and lead me through these blasted lands
you cast a spell on me and sent me into fits
why did it have to come to this?
am I alive or am I dead?
the demons running through my head
You are my heart's deepest desire
You make me burn---Woman on fire!
Bitch goody bishop
you're forever damned
your body tempts the soul of man
Succubus your elder's hearts are cold
forever know the man below
we sentence you to death at dawn
demonic lady begone
you are an outcast, a pariah
you're going to burn---Woman on fire!
Now goody bishop
knows that it's too late
their fear has forced her to this fate
battle over now the bright lands are made dark
forever curse her Witch's mark
twisted religion of the state
they tie her naked to the stake
her curse rings out from the pyre
You'll burn in Hell for the Woman on fire!
5. Review Your Choices (Pentagram cover)
6. Sperm Whale
Resonate to the sound vibrations
emitting from within/without
attune thyself to a radiating sphere of becoming
growth is your heritage and destiny
inherent disharmony troubles not
the symphony of your soul
7. Flesh Feast
Jesus said it first
from the vantage of the Cross
'Eat my flesh
drink my blood
live though I be lost'
Three Spanish sailors
of his Catholic majesty
lost in a life boat
on the blue eternity of the sea
Sworn to be blood brothers
shorn of all they've known
ten weeks since the tempest
sank their great ship like a stone
wind cuts the flesh
sun fries the skin
hunger gnaws them
to the bone
'Will we ever eat again
My friend?'
He fell on Good Friday
of the three he was the least
we ate of him on Sunday
the of our Lord's Feast
two starving sailors
beneath a bloody sky
watching each other
with hopeful, hungry eye
to die
On the vastness of the sea
probe the deepest mystery
of their Christianity
I eat You or You eat Me
I killed my brothers
gnawed upon their bones
still I am dying
and never will see home
begging forgiveness
from a set of skulls
the waters pull me down now
to where my master dwells
Seven Hells
On the vastness of the sea
probe the deepest mystery
of their Christianity
I eat You or You eat Me
