The werewolves of the Perigee Howling at the night Feeding off the effigy From the fiery light For they always knew It would be over Before the night was through So they seized the day Slashed away Made merry before their doom

Fer Ever 02:36
Good day I am eternally Happy to be in your company And if I may say you’re quite lovely Would you please come home and stay with me …FOREVER! Eternity describes my love for you It’s a feeling that I felt when I was a youth But I know it’s something that I mustn’t do But the pain is worth the life I share with you Good day I am eternally Happy to be in your company And if I may say you’re quite lovely Would you please come home and stay with me …FOREVER!

The man talks to his shadow As he’s walking down the street And he greets all the women with disregard And a look of severity And he’s erasing his past For he lived all to well To grow like a wretch In his world of Hell At last he wears his halo of flies And his scarlet red sunburnt cheeks Shredding out the pages of his burned out mind For the world to never read

We’ve got a war across the water We need more cannon fodder Mommy’s seeds have been stolen And now the thunder keeps a rolling Across the way another family prays Someday we’re gonna meet our fate And now the flames of bodies burnin’ Another boy was a yearnin’ For his family and his woman But the cannons came and took him Away, another family prays Someday we’re gonna meet our fate

They told me not to shoot my messenger But I pulled the trigger They told me he worked for my master So here’s a letter for you

I have come and gone from here A long time ago And I have come to revisit roads That I have walked down before And they have changed; They’ve all be paved and covered with glimmering gold And I am not the same young man I’m not as beautiful now

I Will Agree 01:39
They tell me that I’ve got the mind of a mule That I smoke and drink and swear too much And I must agree... I agree… To completely disagree! They tell me that I am out of my mind That I am bound to self destruct And I must agree… I agree… To completely disagree!

There is a place I dream of Where the sun never shines Blood flows like rivers of wine From the throats of the men who I’ve had the pleasure of killing After they’ve tried stealing the woman I love No-one will fancy my lady for they will be slayed And buried alive Now she’s bearing a child With a man with an arrogant mind So I took him and I cut out his tongue And I politely explained "I am sorry, I must kill your baby I cannot raise another’s child No-one will fancy my lady for they will be slayed And buried alive."

If I Wanted 01:01
If I wanted to hear a sermon I would have gone to church today If I wanted to be a servant I would have thrown my mind away I would say the Devil is a better man Than you could ever be It is strange when men of rage Can claim superiority If I wanted to be a king I wouldn’t sing… I’d KILL! If I wanted your fancy things I wouldn’t ask… I’d steal! I would say the Devil is a better man Than you could ever be It is strange when men of rage Can claim superiority

I’ve got roaches in my dresser Roaches in my shoes Roaches in my cupboards I’ve got roaches in my booze They were drinking all my whisky They were puffing on my pipe They ate all my spaghetti I haven’t eaten since last night But at last I’ve found an answer And I’ll never go hungry I just fry them up in butter And I eat them with my tea I have roach breakfast in bed They’re just steaming on my plate I eat them with some bread And they taste rather great! They were drinking all my whisky They were puffing on my pipe They ate all my spaghetti I haven’t eaten since last night

I have got lots of drugs And I have got lots of knives and I have got lots of bodies Because…I’m a doctor! And I dish out lots of drugs And I have got lots of money And I stab lots of bodies Because…I’m a doctor! And I have got lots of women Who are all my nurses And they give me all their loving Because…I’m a doctor! People pay me to STAB them People pay me to GRAB them People give me ALL their money Because…I’m a BASTARD! I mean...I’m a doctor! Yes...

There is a place in my heart where you be… Long time ago we were young… Now we’re apart From each other Now it’s all over I left you behind Now you’re on my mind There is a place in the ground where you be… Long time ago we were young…

The men dug up the monster Released it from it’s cage Showered and devoured The coward and the brave Now it’s plundering the sea And it’s sure to meet the shore Did you see the monster’s teeth? Did you hear the monster roar? Poison potion for the ocean Deep sea sick Ships sinking quick Bowels bleeding Bile seeding Oil slicking to the clock ticking Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. We poisoned the earth And it poisoned us back The sky turns to black As the earth begins to crack Now it’s plundering the sea And it’s sure to meet the shore Did you see the monster’s teeth? Did you hear the monster roar? Poison potion for the ocean Deep sea sick Ships sinking quick Bowels bleeding Bile seeding Oil slicking to the clock ticking
