A: IN THE SHADOW

GODEATGOD

Dear god do you want to tear your knuckles down

And hold yourself

Dear god can you climb off that tree

Meat into the shape of a 'T'

Dear god the paper says you were the King

In the black limousine

Dear John and all the King's men

Can't put you head together again

Before the bullets

Before the flies

Before authorities take out my eyes

The only smiling are you dolls that I made

But you are plastic and so are your brains

Dear god the sky is as blue

As a gunshot wound

Dear god if you were alive

You know we'd kill you

Before the bullets

Before the flies

Before authorities take out my eyes

The only smiling are you dolls that I made

But you are plastic and so are your brains

THE LOVE SONG

[The bullet:]

"I've got a crush on a pretty pistol

should I tell her that I feel this way?

Father told us to be faithful

I've got a crush on a pretty pistol

should I tell her that I feel this way

I've got love songs in my head

that are killing us away"

[The Father:]

"do you love your

guns?" (yeah)

"god?"

(yeah)

"your government?"

"do you love your

guns?"

(yeah)

"god?"

(yeah)

"your government?"

(fuck yeah)

[The bullet:]

"She tells me I'm a pretty bullet

I'm gonna be a star someday

Mother says that we should look away

She tells me I'm a pretty bullet

an Imitation Christ

I've got love songs in my head

that are killing us away"

[The Father:]

"do you love your

guns?"

(yeah)

"god?"

(yeah)

"your government?"

(fuck yeah)

THE FIGHT SONG

Nothing suffocates you more

Than the passing of everyday human events

And isolation is the oxygen mask

You make your children breathe in to survive

But I'm not a slave to a god

That doesn't exist

I'm not a slave to a world

That doesn't give a shit

And when we were good

You just closed your eyes

So when we are bad

We'll scar your minds

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight

You'll never grow up to be a big rock star

Celebrated victim of your fame

They'll just cut our wrists like cheap coupons

And say that death was on sale today

And when we were good

You just closed your eyes

So when we are bad

We'll scar your minds

But I'm not a slave to a god

That doesn't exist

I'm not a slave to a world

That doesn't give a shit

The death of one is a tragedy

The death of million is just a statistic

But I'm not a slave to a god

That doesn't exist

I'm not a slave to a world

That doesn't give a shit

Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight

DISPOSABLE TEENS

And I'm a black rainbow

And I'm an ape of god

I got a face that's made for violence upon

And I'm a teen distortion

Survived abortion

A rebel from the waist down

I wanna thank you mom

I wanna thank you dad

For bringing this fucking world to a bitter end

I never really hated a one true god

But the god of the people I hated

You said you wanted evolution

The ape was a great big hit

You say you want a revolution, man

And I say that you're full of shit

We're disposable teens

We're disposable

You said you wanted evolution

The ape was a great big hit

You say you want a revolution, man

And I say that you're full of shit

The more that you fear us the bigger we get

And don't be surprised, don't be surprised

Don't be surprised when we destroy all of it

You said you wanted evolution

The ape was a great big hit

You say you want a revolution, man

And I say that you're full of shit

We're disposable teens

We're disposable

D: THE ANDROGYNE

TARGET AUDIENCE (NARCISSUS NARCOSIS)

Am I sorry your sky went black,

put your knives in babies backs?

Am I sorry you killed the Kennedy's and Huxley too?

But I'm sorry Shakespeare

was your scapegoat

and your apples sticking into my throat

Sorry your Sunday smiles are rusty nails

and your crucifixion commercials failed

but I'm just a pitiful anonymous

And I see all the young believers

Your target audience

I see all the old deceivers

we all just sing their song

Am I sorry to be alive

putting my face in the beehive?

Am I sorry for Booth and Oswald, pinks and cocaine too?

I'm sorry you never check

the bag in my head for a bomb

and my halo was a needle hole

I'm sorry I saw a priest being beaten

and I made a wish

but I'm just a pitiful anonymous

And I see all the young believers

Your target audience

I see all the old deceivers

we all just sing their song

"the valley of death we are free

your father's your prison you see"

And I see all the young believers

Your target audience

I see all the old deceivers

we all just sing their song

you're just a copy of an imitation

PRESIDENT DEAD

this is for the people, they want you

getting high on violence, baby

President Dead is clueless

and he's caught in a headlight, police-stated god

and his skull is stained glass

incubated and jet set

the bitter thinkers buy their tickets

to go find god like a piggy in a fair

and we don't want to live forever

and we know that suffering is so much better

this is for the people, they want you

getting high on violence, baby

give the bills time to work

we all could be martyred in the

winter of our discontent

(getting high on violence, baby)

every night we are nailed into place and

every night we just can't seem to

ever remember the reason why

(getting high on violence, baby)

and we don't want to live forever

and we know that suffering is so much better

this is for the people, they want you

getting high on violence, baby

and we don't want to live forever

and we know that suffering is so much better

IN THE SHADOW OF THE VALLEY OF DEATH

We have no future

heaven wasn't made for me

we burn ourselves to hell

as fast as it can be

and I wish that I could be a king

then I'd know that I am not alone

Maggots put on shirts

Sell each others shit

sometimes I feel so worthless

sometimes I feel discarded

I wish that I was good enough

then I'd know that I am not alone

Death is policeman

Death is the priest

Death is the stereo

Death is a TV

Death is the Tarot

Death is an angel and

Death is our God

killing us all

she puts the seeds in me

plant this dying tree

she's a burning string

and I'm just the ashes

she put the seeds in me

plant this dying tree

she's a burning string

and I'm just the ashes

CRUCI-FICTION IN SPACE

This is evolution

The monkey

The man

And then the gun

If Christ was in Texas

The hammer

The sickle

The only son

This is your creation

The atom of Eden

Was a bomb

If Jack was the Baptist

We'd drink wine

From his head

This is evolution

The monkey

The man

And then the gun

I am a revolution

Pull my knuckles down

If I could

I am a revelation

And I'm nailed

To the Holy Wood

This is evolution

The monkey

The man

And then the gun

We are dead and tomorrow's canceled

Because of things we did yesterday

We are dead and tomorrow's canceled

They crucify us in our space

In our space...

A PLACE OF DIRT

We are damned and we are dead

all god's children to be sent

to our perfect place in the sun

and in the dirt

There's a windshield in my heart

we are bugs so smeared and scarred

and could you stop the meat from thinking

before I swallow all of it,

could you please?

Put me in the motorcade

put me in the death parade

dress me up and take me

dress me up and make me

your dying god

angels with needles

poked through our eyes

let the ugly light

of the world in

we were no longer blind

Put me in the motorcade

put me in the death parade

dress me up and take me

dress me up and make me

your dying god

Now we hold the "ugly head"

the Mary-whore is at the bed

They've cast the shadow of our perfect death

in the sun and in the dirt.

A: OF RED EARTH

THE NOBODIES

Today I'm dirty

I want to be pretty

Tomorrow, I know, I'm just dirt

We're the nobodies

Wanna be somebodies

We're dead,

We know just who we are

Yesterday I was dirty

Wanted to be pretty

I know now that I'm forever dirt

Some children died the other day

We fed machines and then we prayed

Puked up and down in morbid faith

You should have seen the ratings that day

We're the nobodies

Wanna be somebodies

We're dead,

We know just who we are

THE DEATH SONG

we're on a bullet

and we're headed straight into god

even he'd like to end it too

we take a pill, get a face

buy our ticket

and we hope that heaven's true

I saw a cop beat a priest on the TV

and they know they killed our heroes too

We sing the death song kids

because we've got no future

and we want to be just like you

Let's sing the death song kids

we light a candle on an earth

we made into hell

and pretend that we're in heaven

each time we do we get

the blind man's ticket

and we know that nothing's true

I saw priest kill a cop on the TV

and I know now they're our heroes too

We sing the death song kids

because we've got no future

and we want to be just like you

we write our prayers on a little bomb

kiss it on the face and send it to god

We were the world

but we've got no future

and we want to be just like you

we want to be just like you.

LAMB OF GOD

There was Christ in the metal shell

there was blood on the pavement

The camera will make you god

that's how Jack became sainted

If you die when there's no one watching

and your ratings drop and you're forgotten

if they kill you on their TV

you're a martyr and a lamb of god

nothing's going to change

nothing's going to change the world

There was Lennon and a happy gun

There were words on the pavement

we were looking for the lamb of god

we were looking for Mark David

If you die when there's no one watching

and your ratings drop and you're forgotten

if they kill you on their TV

you're a martyr and a lamb of god

Nothing's going to change the world

nothing's going to change

the world

it took three days for him to die

the born again could buy the serial rights

lamb of god have mercy on us

lamb of god won't you grant us

If you die when there's no one watching

and your ratings drop and you're forgotten

if they kill you on their TV

you're a martyr and a lamb of god

nothing's going to change the world

BORN AGAIN

Do you or don't you want this to be your song?

It doesn't take a rebel to sing along.

This art is weak

in its pretty frame

and I am a monkey with

a misspelled name

"I'll put down you disco

and take you heart away.

I'll put down you disco

and take your heart away"

I am born again

I'm someone else

I'm someone new

I'm someone stupid just like you

do you or don't you want to take this hit?

Does it make you feel like you're a part of "it."

"I'll put down you disco

and take you heart away.

I'll put down you disco

and take your heart away"

I am born again

the valley of the dolls is

the valley of the dead

I am born again

BURNING FLAG

They want to sell it out

Buy it up

Dumb it down

A good god is hard to find

I'll join the crowd that

Wants to see me dead

Right now I feel I belong

For the first time

Multiply your death

Divide by sex

Add up the violence and

What do you get?

We are all just stars and we're waiting

We are all just scarred and we're hating

We are all just stars on your burning flag

You can point your gun at me

And hope it will go away

If god was alive,

He would hate you anyway

My right wing is flapping

The left one is gray

Let's hear it for the kids but

Nothing they say

They gyrate and G-rate

On Election Day

We got out ABC's and our F U C K

Multiply your death

Divide by sex

Add up the violence and

What do you get?

We are all just stars and we're waiting

We are all just scarred and we're hating

We are all just stars on your burning flag

You can point your gun at me

And hope it will go away

But if god was alive,

He would hate you anyway

M: THE FALLEN

COMA BLACK: 

A) EDEN EYE 

A loved one laid his head on her lap

red roses fell to the floor

and the world, stood still

My mouth was a crib and it was growing lies

I didn't know what love was on that day

my heart's a tiny bloodclot

I picked at it

it never heals it never goes away

I burned all the good things in The Eden Eye

we were too dumb to run too dead to die

This was never my world

you took the angel away

I'd kill myself to make everybody pay

I would have told her then

she was the only thing

that I could love in this dying world

but the simple word "love" itself

already died and went away

B) THE APPLE OF DISCORD

Her heart's bloodstained egg

we didn't handle with care

it's broken and bleeding

and we can never repair

VALENTINE DAY

She was the color of TV

her mouth curled under like a metal snake

although Holy Wood was sad

they'd remember this as Valentine's day

flies are waiting

In the Shadow of the Valley of Death

In the Shadow of the Valley of Death

slit our wrists and send us to heaven

the first flower after the flood

I saw that pregnant girl today

she didn't know that it was dead inside

even though it was alive

some of us are really born to die

slit our wrists and send us to heaven

the first flower after the flood

In the Shadow of the Valley of Death

THE FALL OF ADAM

The Abraham Lincoln town cars

arrive to dispose of our king and queen

they orchestrated dramatic new scenes

for Celebritarian needs

When one world ends

something else begins

but without a scream

just a whisper because we

just start it over again

[spoken]

Do you love your guns?

Your god and your government?

Let me hear you

Hey

Do you love your guns?

Do you love your god and your government?

Let me hear you goddamn it

Hey

Do you love your guns?

And your god and your government?

Let me hear you

Hey

Your mother?

And your father?

And your baby?

Goddamn it let me hear you

Hey

Do you love your guns?

I want your mothers and your fathers

To hear you say it

Hey

Every single one of you motherfuckers

Let me hear it from you

Hey

Do you love your guns?

And your god and your government?

Hey

I wanna hear it from everyone

I wanna hear you say you want a gun

Let me hear it

Hey

KILL KING 33°

Is this what you wanted?

This is what you get.

Turned all your lives into this shit.

You never accepted or treated me fair

blame me for what I believe

and I wear.

You fucked yourselves and you

raised these sheep

the blue and the withered seeds

you will reap.

You never gave me a chance to be me

Or even a fucking chance just to be.

But I have to show you that

you played a role

and I will destroy you with one simple hole.

The world that hates me has taken its toll

but now I have finally taken control.

You wanted so bad to make me this thing

and I want you now to just kill the king

and I am not sorry, and I am not sorry

this is what you deserve

and I am not sorry, and I am not sorry

this is what you deserve

and I am not sorry, and I am not sorry

this is what you deserve

King Kill 33

COUNT TO SIX AND DIE (THE VACUUM OF INFINITE SPACE ENCOMPASSING)

She's got her eyes open wide

she's got the dirt and spit of the world

her mouth on the metal

the lips of a scared little girl

I've got an angel in the lobby

he's waiting to put me in line

I won't ask forgiveness

my faith has gone dry

She's got her Christian prescriptures

and death has crawled in her ear

like elevator music of songs

that she shouldn't hear

and it spins around 1...2...3

and we all lay down 4...5...6

some do it fast

some do it better in smaller amounts
