Comedia
Leave your cat, let's go to heaven
dying is a cheap expense
on the way let's grab a sandwich
oh, by the way, we'll pass through hell
grab your hat, and let's get going
tuna should be fine, or steak
Wednesday's got this air around her,
let's not linger, take-away
down and down this spiral staircase
if you trip, it's quite a drop
mountains built of human waste
first the bottom, then the top
as we push on through the barley
cutting seaweed as we plough
hollow mortals reach their arms out
once they grab you they won't let go
further down the road to nowhere
holy beings spread their wings
servants of the master only
at the end the bell will ring
down and down this dreadful dreamland
climbing up will not be fun
as the sand that dries your eyeballs
cut the cord and end the run
the master's words rumble as lightning and thunder
his minions they dance as the world's going under
the angels have standards, they only do tango
the demons don't care as they waltz this fandango
Luna
everybody's gathered
cause rumor's gone around
tonight behind the old chapel
there's something going down
a virgin to be sacrificed
the holiest of meat
we stain our hands to clean our sin
our savior we must greet
and can you feel my heartbeat, Luna
as you watch me from above
I drive the stake through innocence
all in the name of love
the minister seeks legal advice
to justify his spiritual lies
they go against the words of faith
he knows the hour's running late
the beast, it must be satisfied
it's thirst be quelched again
our fear has won, all hope is lost
the hero must be slain
so can you feel my heartbeat, Luna
I try to feed this twisted love
it's blasphemy, this deed we've done
to satiate our thirst for blood
and through the mist, a shadow vague
the prince of darkness risen has
his chains undone, his shackles torn
our overlord is here, at last
the demons flood in through the gates
as evil swallows all men brave
our lord leans forward, bares his fangs
and whispers, "yo, I'm Dave"
now can you feel my heartbeat, Luna
I cry out for your name in vain
the moon has left, abandoned us
our souls uncleansed, drenched in the rain
so can you feel my heartbeat, Luna
I try to find your pulse again
while demons nibble on my flesh
your lifeless corpse, my endless pain
This Glimmering Haze
today, I choked myself
until I couldn't breathe
I threw up on the kitchen floor
and cried myself to sleep
the oxygen escaped my lungs
the vacuum blew up in my mind
the things I did not want to see
the things I won't see when I'm blind
and what you hide
and what you fear
is what I like
but it was not part of the deal
oh
I'd like to know
oh oh oh
how many more hours
how many more days
how many more nights
with my heart set ablaze
this damp, dripping dungeon
this winding, long maze
these thoughts without matter
this glimmering haze
I opened up a window
to let the air clear up my head
to dilute this poignant stench
from the carcass lying in my bed
my brain had leaked out through my nose
my eye-balls popped like a balloon
my chest, torn open from inside
my soul departed to the moon
and what you hide
and what you fear
is what I like
but it was not part of the deal
oh
I'd like to know
oh oh oh
how many more hours
how many more days
how many more nights
with my heart set ablaze
this damp, dripping dungeon
this winding, long maze
these thoughts without matter
this glimmering haze
how many more hours
how many more days
how many more nights
with my heart set ablaze
this damp, dripping dungeon
this winding, long maze
these thoughts without matter
this glimmering haze
the dream that eludes me
and the fear without end
have colluded together
and I see them as friends
I used to feel empty
now I long for some space
but I am no angel
and my fall has no grace
Sacrilege
I want to desecrate your grave
I want to excavate your bones
I want to raise you from the dead
cause I can't stand living alone
they say that time can heal all wounds
it isn't able to heal mine
I've had this abyss in my chest
since you stopped being here alive
it's sacrilege
of the worst kind
but I'd do anything
to have your spirit escape time
no matter how I blow my sail
I still ain't getting anywhere
exhausted from breathing the air
confined within the space we shared
I reach for every straw of hope
I care not for the price of sin
but there's no hope for you, nor me
the straws are blown off by the wind
it's sacrilege
of the worst kind
but I'd do anything
to have your spirit escape time
it's sacrilege
of the worst kind
but I'd do anything
to have your spirit escape time
it's sacrilege
of the worst kind
but I'd do anything
to have your spirit escape time
