|
Flies all green and buzzin'
|
In this dungeon of despair
|
Prisoners grumblin
|
Piss they clothes
|
Scratch their matted hair
|
A tiny light from a window-hole
|
Hundred yards away
|
That all they ever get to know
|
'Bout the regular life in the day
|
'Bout the regular life in the day
|
|
Slime and rot and rats and snuck
|
Vomit on the floor
|
Fifty ugly soldier men
|
Holdin' spears by the iron door
|
Stinks so bad, stones are chokin'
|
Weepin' greenish drops
|
In the den where
|
The giant fire puffer woiks
|
And the torture never stops
|
The torture never stops, torture
|
The torture never stops
|
The torture never stops
|
|
Flies all green and buzzin'
|
In this dungeon of despair
|
An Evil Prince eats a steamin' pig
|
In a tumbers right near there
|
In the chambers right near there
|
He eats de snouts an trotters first!
|
The loins and the groins are then dispersed
|
His carvin style is well rehearsed
|
He stands and shouts
|
All men be cursed (4x)
|
And disagree it, well no one durst
|
He the best of cause of all the woist
|
Best of cause of all the woist
|
|
He stinks so bad his stones been chokin'
|
Weepin' greenish drops
|
In the room with the iron maiden
|
And the torture never stops, torture
|
Torture never stops
|
Torture never stops, torture
|
Torture never stops
|
|
Flies all green and buzzin'
|
In dungeon of despair
|
Who are'll those people
|
That is shut away down there
|
Are they crazy
|
Are they sainted
|
Are they heroes someone painted
|
Someone painted
|
Are they -isms
|
Later ornated
|
Once they come they have been tainted
|
Once they come they have been tainted
|
Never been explained
|
Since at first it was created
|
But a dungeon and his kin'
|
Require naught but lockin' in
|
Of any anything thats been
|
Could be a her but its probly a him
|
Could be a her but its probly a him
|
Its whats the deal were dealin' in
|
Its whats the deal were dealin' in
|
An he stinks so bad its hurt
|
To the pearl and the piles of blast
|
Any dungeon have a trailer
|
Were the torture never stops, torture
|
Torture never stops
|
Torture never stops, torture
|
Torture never stops
|
Torture never stops, talkin' to you
|
Torture never stops
|
