Ritual Of Desecration
|
|
The grave robber's work is never done,
|
It's up all night and sleep all day,
|
The hours are shit with hell to pay.
|
Pockets are brimming from our unique brand of sinning,
|
When the ladies claw my back at night,
|
I know I'm doing something right.
|
I deliver the goods as long as they don't ask,
|
Deny, deny, deny
|
I'm a working stiff like dear old dad,
|
And to you and yours nothing but curses,
|
You'll slave your life away,
|
And for what?
|
You're just as dead as these old fucks.
|
They'll never get me,
|
I'll never run out of stock,
|
With every second that ticks past,
|
The bodies are still stacking up.
|
|
So I've clipped a few fingers off to get that gold for which I lust from the deadman's bank and trust,
|
To the depths of hell or bust.
|
The blackened bits of exhumed evidence embedded neath my fettered fingernails,
|
It's but a smallish part of what our dirty work entails.
|
|
Come dance with me,
|
This graveyard planet that you've called Earth you hold in such a high regard,
|
It's but as worthless as a turd.
|
Will you follow me into the dark?
|
Will you follow me into the dark?
|
|
[Solo]
|
|
I rob the dead for what they're worth,
|
Jewels, wealth, clothing, sex.
|
When the mood prefers to carve a sullen path through life,
|
Within the fallen's shoes you'd turn your nose at me,
|
Although I smell of sheik perfumes.
|
|
So I've clipped a few fingers off to get that gold for which I lust from the deadman's bank and trust,
|
To the depths of hell or bust.
|
|
I'm Haunted by faces when I try to close my eyes,
|
So deeply it festers,
|
The guilt is murder.
|
|
The blackened bits of exhumed evidence embedded neath my fettered fingernails,
|
It's but a smallish part of what our dirty work entails.
|
May the gods have mercy
|
May the gods have mercy.
