1. intro
2. Blasphemy in Absinthe
The green fae has taken hold of me
On this blustery autumn night
My love returns from beyond the pale
To share with me her gifts, wrong or right
Writhe and moan before the fireside
Her white flesh cold to my heated touch
Her eyes, they burn like red hot coals
She is is still what I love so much
(Chorus)
Visions dance, nativity of new flesh
Risen from her cold and moldy grave
Tonight we fly on wings of sin
Tonight I commit
Blasphemy in Absinthe
I heat another cube and in crystal
I pour the finest of elixir
She takes a sip, and offers me my own.
Oh, my Gods, how I have missed her
Another round of necrophilia
With this animated corpse I do writhe
As we curse all so holy and true
Not a single pleasure am I denied
(Chorus)
Visions dance, nativity of new flesh
Risen from her cold and moldy grave
Tonight we fly on wings of sin
Tonight I commit
Blasphemy in Absinthe
Cruel Sol blazes in the parlor room
As the sun breaks through at dawn
My love has since left me
She has left, and my hope is gone
Was she ever here is what I ask
Of myself as I slowly rise
Did the green faery just take pity
Or did Hell send a demon in disguise
(Chorus)
Visions dance, nativity of new flesh
Risen from her cold and moldy grave
Tonight we fly on wings of sin
Tonight I commit
Blasphemy in Absinthe
3. Knuckle Up
Cuttin' me off
In the turn off lane
You flippin' me off?
Now you'll see the pain
Step out that car
Like you're the shit
Til bust out that grill
With a power kick (Chorus)
You talkin' shit?
I'll bust your lip
Shut your mouth or
Knuckle up, bitch
We'll do the dance
If you don't quit your trip
So shut your mouth or
Knuckle up, bitch
Checking out my girl
Like you're some sort of pimp
When I break your knee
You'll have a permanent limp
You gonna step up
Like the man you think you are
I'll rip out your fuckin' heart
And keep that fucker in a jar
It's time, it's time
It's time to fuckin' die
(Chorus)
You talkin' shit?
I'll bust your lip
Shut your mouth or
Knuckle up, bitch
We'll do the dance
If you don't quit your trip
So shut your mouth or
Knuckle up, bitch
(Bridge)
Shit talkin', punk bitches make me want to scream
So get off that ass, and I'll show you what I mean
It's time, it's time... It's time to fuckin' die!!
(Chorus)
You talkin' shit?
I'll bust your lip
Shut your mouth or
Knuckle up, bitch
We'll do the dance
If you don't quit your trip
So shut your mouth or
Knuckle up, bitch
(Vassago comes unhinged and ad libs a few lines)
Knuckle up, bitch!
Die, bitch!!
4. Battered and Broken
The mirror stares back at her
She sees a face she doesn't even know
Another midnight rape is over
Once local beauty queen, but that has past
"Prince Charming" has struck another blow
A fallen dream of broken teeth
She prays her Lord, her soul to keep
There's only one way to set things right
The bastard has to die, and die tonight
(Chorus)
A shattered life, a long lost dream
A hell of words screamed, not spoken
A life of abuse, both body and mind
Has left her battered and broken
The baby's gone to gramdma's house
She thinks "What will become of him?"
Once daddy's dead, and I am gone
His new life can begin
All those nights of drunken rage
Flashing through her mind
She's tried to leave, so many plans
Now he's fast asleep and there she stands... with a gun in her hand.
(Chorus)
A shattered life, a long lost dream
A hell of words screamed, not spoken
A life of abuse, both body and mind
Has left her battered and broken
The pistol cracks, the blood runs down
It seems in slow motion in her spinning head
Against her will, she lets out a scream
Her eyes locked on the bloody scene
The lights are flashing, strangers fill the house
It was 911 was that brought them all about
The sergeant asked "Why did you do it?"
Her reply was simply "You didn't have to live through it"
(Chorus)
A shattered life, a long lost dream
A hell of words screamed, not spoken
A life of abuse, both body and mind
Has left her battered and broken
5. Chemical Overload
Party's on tonight, friends are all around
Time to fire it up, and then you'll hit the town
Rock inside the tube, fire up the end
Something doesn't feel right, cold is setting in
Chorus
Inhalate
Hit the pipe once more
Aspyrate
Falling over on the floor
Eliminate
Because you wanted more
It's now too late
You're on...
Chemical Overload
Needle pricks, you don't feel a thing
You're waiting for the rush god smack will bring
Then your heart seizes up, your eyes they blink
A stupid move my friend, now you're past the brink
Chorus
Inhalate
Hit the pipe once more
Aspyrate
Falling over on the floor
Eliminate
Because you wanted more
It's now too late
You're on...
Chemical Overload
Your friends all say you didn't have to die
Oh, no... Now it's time to cry
Looking back on what your life was
Why'd you take that pill? The answer; "Just because"
Each year, over 3,000 people under the age of 25 die of drug overdoses in the United States alone The most common drug in these situations is heroin Law enforcement is largely ineffective in dealing with these statistics Only through awareness and education of our young people can we ever hope to change these facts Until that day comes, all we can do is watch while this country's youth kill themselves one by one
Chorus
Inhalate
Hit the pipe once more
Aspyrate
Falling over on the floor
Eliminate
Because you wanted more
It's now too late
You're on...
Chemical Overload
6. Ride The Great Beast
Harlot of the ages, bathed in blood
Bringer of all that is perverse
From her loins will rise a flood
Great and wooly monster
From the Stele he is born
The Beast of the legends
Falls upon her, leaving her torn
(Chorus)
Babalon, Scarlet Whore of the West
Desire putting men to the test
Ra Hoor's crowned, rising from the East
Joining in the temple
She rides The Great Beast
Strange drugs they do ingest
To heighten their ecstacy
Hearts pounding in their chests
"Do What Thou Wilt" emblazoned on the crest
Wicked, wicked lusting after primal urge
The Magickal Childe shall be born
From deep inside the monstrous Beast
The Whore is filled in a surge
(Chorus)
Babalon, Scarlet Whore of the West
Desire putting men to the test
Ra Hoor's crowned, rising from the East
Joining in the temple
She rides The Great Beast
Therion and Babalon, coupling has came to end
Entwined on the altar of red
"I love you, I love you" is her cry
The Great Beast has again been fed
"Do What Thou Wilt shall be the whole of the Law."
"Love is Law. Love Under Will."
7. Another Sin
Living my dreams
Ain't as easy as it seems
People look at me
With a heat of the third degree
They all think I'll fail
But all my life has prevailed
Through all my ups and downs
Not once have I hit the ground
(Pre-Chorus)
Doubt all my success
Your belief is the best
If your mind is gift from "God"
Then why has he allowed me to take you down?
(Chorus)
No walls
No doors
No chains that bind me
Just another sin, time and again
Tell the world that I am free
Don't need to know my future
Don't need no fortune teller
Because I'm here today
And tomorrow's gonna be yesterday
Someday, another day
I will pass away
Remember the message that I gave you
(Spoken)
Live life like there's no tomorrow, and see it through
(Pre-Chorus)
Doubt all my success
Your belief is the best
If your mind is gift from "God"
Then why has he allowed me to take you down?
(Chorus)
No walls
No doors
No chains that bind me
Just another sin, time and again
Tell the world that I am free
(Pre-Chorus)
Doubt all my success
Your belief is the best
If your mind is gift from "God"
Then why has he allowed me to take you down?
(Chorus)
No walls
No doors
No chains that bind me
Just another sin, time and again
Tell the world that I am free
Free
FREE!
8. Six Feet Under
The bullet penetrates the skin
The stinging starts to begin
Vision getting blurry
Tell the doc to hurry
What were you doing in the alley at night?
And what did you do when the junkie stole you stash?
(Chorus)
Do you think you're tough living six feet under?
I wonder...
And what the hell you prove living six feet under?
I wonder...
Do you think you're tough living six feet under?
I wonder...
And what the hell you prove living six feet under?
I wonder...
And now your blood's running cold
How tragic, not even twenty years old
Wait till mom and dad
Hear about the night you've had
Do you see the grin that's on my face
Ha! No, you lost the game of life
Remember that you're in disgrace
And I'm the one who still hold the dice
(Chorus)
Do you think you're tough living six feet under?
I wonder...
And what the hell you prove living six feet under?
I wonder...
Do you think you're tough living six feet under?
I wonder...
And what the hell you prove living six feet under?
I wonder...
