Bring me the head of the finest whore Turn the lights way down on the getaway car I tell her, “Stop” and she says: “One more…” She cannot hold back and we’re going too far It’s ornamental, my paramour Like black blood pools on a ceramic floor She is the one true thing I adore A divine nymphet here to even the score Three crows in a row means death We’ll never see land again Out of the confines Into the tight-wind Bounding the tripwires Out on the frontlines Over the trenches, out into No Man’s Land We’re raiders of a stolen ark Survivors of Jurassic Park Take him out… As chaos theory made its mark The payoff couldn’t be more stark At every mass extinction’s heart: A kill mechanism – design by definition. No saint ever hid in church So don’t tell her it could be worse Out of the confines Into the tight-wind Bounding the tripwires Out on the frontlines Over the trenches, out into No Man’s Land She’s in the water The serpent’s daughter And only blood can quench her thirst She’s in the water Their sons and daughters They always should be drowned at birth We’ve had our share of - She’s taken care of - One more - worthless – individual Worthless… they’re worthless… worthless… and BURIED ALIVE! With no regrets now, we’re on the run (Buried alive) She is a wildcat, a hellion (Buried alive) It won’t let up ’til we’ve had our fun (Buried alive) The day of reckoning has begun (Buried alive) She consecrated His only son (Buried alive) Then held him up with a nailgun (Buried alive) Emptied the chamber of all but one (Buried alive) And all that’s sacred’ll be undone… You change your life, I’ll change mine, and we’ll meet somewhere in the middle.

Voices, dark voices, loud noises They’re screaming in my ears Abstractions so flawless, remorseless I simply am not here Outward appearances frozen I have no clear emotion There’s no barrier left, only carnal aggression No-one to hear my confession Godless among us, this bloodlust It flows into my days Disgust and revulsion, compulsions All lie behind my gaze And there will be no quarter Be no reprieve at the altar We’re all lambs astray in a world of disease And they all will be set free Who’s going to set them free…? ’Cos even after all this, there is no catharsis Even after all this, the pain has a sharpness Even after all this, there is no catharsis Even after all this, no relief from the darkness MY CONFESSION MEANS NOTHING No wider truth I’m dispelling No lesson learned in the telling There is an ideal, but no real me Only a veil of greed Something illusory Something illusory…
