Lurid Little Lies
A Cool Dark Place to Die
I've dreamed so many fruitless dreams
For love is never what it seems
It brings only sorrow with its many stings
I can only wait for death my summons to bring
Within my heart no more love can abide
For there is no one to keep near my side
I bleed from every pore from the despair that i feel
But I know of no pain that death will not heal
Truth bursts forth with radiant light
Showing me the path of right
For now the day has past and gone
And only night is coming on
No more the sun with golden beam
The earth is ruled by the moon with softer gleam
A million stars fill up the sky
All the earth is a cool dark place to die

The Gallows Dance
Dance for me my pretty girls
Let me see your bodies twirl
Raised above the ground so high
Like angels in the sky
Twist and turn to the manic sound
The rhythm of the heartbeat pound
Come on get into the swing
Everybody's gallows dancing
Feel the air beneath you feet
Drop down to the sudden beat
Lick your lips and toss your hair
Swing out through the air
Then with a kick spin around
Till you're high above the ground
Next time you're just hanging around
Move your body to the gallows pound
Shake your arms and kick your feet
Twist your body to the frantic beat
Dancing madly in the air
High above all earthly cares

Kill Your Girlfriend
You spent your money and your time
Done your best to be true
But if you ask a girl to do the same
She breaks up with you
She ain't worth the trouble, do it on the double
Kill your girlfriend, kill your girlfriend
No one will find out, unless she screams and shouts
Kill your girlfriend, kill your girlfriend
If your girl is ever down and you try
To give some relief
When she's OK, she turns around
And kicks you in the teeth
When you're up against the wall
She's got you by the balls...then
Kill your girlfriend, kill your girlfriend
Cut her with a knife, take her very life
Kill your girlfriend, kill your girlfriend
So if you're smart you'll do like me
You won't look like a sap
Smash her in her bloody face
Before you take her crap
Come on use your brain
Put that girl in some pain
Kill your girlfriend
Kill your girlfriend
If you feel the need, you've got to make her bleed
Kill your girlfriend, kill your girlfriend

Bonfire
Somewhere burns a bonfire
Sending sparks on higher
Into a starless night
Filled with bats gone aflight
Such fear is on the rise
You can see it in the eyes
Of a million teenage boys
Who seek only to destroy
Inside our darkened rooms
We prepare our tombs
Bathed in the silver glow
Of all that we know
We've filled our hearts and minds
With things we will never find
So now we aspire
To set our world on fire
What does our future hold
But a grave so cold
And a place in hell
Locked inside a firey cell
We've come so many miles
But we're still at the witch trails
Ransomed to the bloody past
Betrayed we'll die at last
Slowly now the light of day
Before my eyes dies away
With it fades my earthly past
Like the light it dies so fast
In my gown of spotless white
I'll take my place amidst the night
And guide each soul that comes my way
To the bonfire where i now lay

Miron
Everybody likes Miron
He's the best kind of son
He's good to his mom and dad
And to his sisters he's never bad
The neighbors he doesn't annoy
Miron's a very quiet boy
He doesn't like to go out on dates
He doesn't like to sleep in late
Everybody likes Miron
Everybody likes Miron
Miron has a thing for little girls
They really put his brain in a whirl
He likes to watch them undress at night
While he hides just out of sight
And when they're home all alone
He calls them up on the phone
He tells them things they don't understand
To them Miron is a real man
He takes them all to his secret place
Where he dresses them in pretty lace
Then he likes to play his little game
It always ends up the same
(Repeat first verse twice)

El Soundo Mundo
Madman in the dark
Waits to choose a mark
He hears the sound
He hears it pound
Disorder fills his mind
He seeks but never finds
He set down to kill
He no longer feels
He hears the sound
He hears it pound
Can you hear the sound
Can you hear it pound
Does it fill your brain
Driving you insane
Does it bleed in your ears
Transfixing your fears
Does it sear thru your head
Demanding to be fed
Can you hear the sound
Can you hear it pound
Your bred of despair
You no longer care
You can hear the sound
You can hear it pound
With a bloody cry
With murderous eyes
It leads you on and on
Your mind is gone
You can hear the sound
You can hear it pound

Way Gone with the Worms
Down along the banks where grows the tall weeds
In the rich red mud where the big worms feed
Lies a golden girl wrapped in tattered lace
She never understood just where was her place
Now she's gone, gone, gone with worms
Gone, gone, gone with the worms
Gone, gone, gone with the worms
Gone......, gone with the worms
The worms crawl in and out of her brain
As her rotting corpse lies out in the rain
Once she was a girl who all men adored
But she isn't very pretty anymore
She has no lips she has no eyes
And in her mouth she has a nrst of flies
Where she's buried i'll never tell
But you could find her just from the smell
Down along the banks where grows the tall weeds
In the rich red mud where the big worms feed
Lies the rotting corpse of a girl I once knew
Better watch out next one could be you

In the Attic
In the attic neath a blood-stained bed
Lies a doll with a bashed-in head
It's coal black eyes stare off into space
Searching for a glimpse of Johnny's face
Where oh where is Johnny
Where oh where can he be
Where oh where is Johnny
Gone on over the sea
At the end of a dimly lit hall
A tiny skeleton hides behind the wall
Covered by photos for all to see
He waits to rejoin his family
In the churchyard
Round the gravestones
Dance the children
Of the unknown
Thru the rainstorms
In the red mud
Dance the children
Covered in blood
Some night when the thunderstorms arise
And lightning flares across the blackened skies
The ghost of a child murdered in its sleep
Will return its vengence to reap

It's All Over Now
I've come from so far away
To see the sun set this day
Where have all the others gone
Feels like winter's coming on
Clouds of ash like newly fallen snow
Wrap in a shroud the silent earth below
No one seems to know
Where we should go
No one seems to know
No one seems to know
Wish I could go home somehow
But it's all over now
The sky fills with dazzling light
As the earth burn with fire bright
Angels dance with delight
Wish I could go home somehow
But it's all over now
Clouds of ash like newly fallen snow
Wrap in a shroud the silent earth below
No one seems to know
Where we should go
No one seems to know
No one seems to know
No one seems to know

The Flickering Screen
TELEVISION FLICKERS ALL THRU MY NIGHTS
BATHING ME IN IT'S OMNISCIENT LIGHT
SMOTHERING MY BRAIN IN IT'S ICY DRONE
IT SHOWS ME THINGS I'VE NEVER KNOWN
BEAUTY QUEENS DANCE BEFORE MY EYES
WHILE TEENAGE WHORES OFFER HEIR SURPRISE
AN ENDLESS PARADE OF DECADENCE AND SIN
TRANSFIXED I SMILE A HUNGRY GRIN
OUT IN THE NIGHT, OUT IN THE RAIN
THERE IS NO LOVE, THERE IS NO PAIN
ONLY DARK SKELETONS FLOW IN MY SIGHT
ONLY MY WRAITH WALKS ON MY RIGHT
SOMETIMES A YOUNG GIRL STRAYS TO NEAR
WITH PRETTY EYES FILLED WITH SEX AND FEAR
SHE'LL WALK WITH ME AND MAKE NO SOUND
WHILE BRILLIANT BLOOD FLOWS TO THE GROUND
TELEVISION FLICKERS ON THRU MY NIGHTS
BURYING ME IN ITS OMNISCIENT LIGHT
SHROUDING MY BRAIN IN COLD BLUE MIST
IT SHOWS ME THINGS THAT CAN'T EXIST
EVERYTHING AROUND ME SEEMS SO COLD
THERE ARE NO MEMORIES FOR ME TO HOLD
I FEEL ONLY ICE FORMING IN MY HEAD
I CLOSE MY EYES AND TURN TO RED

Creature
Have you ever heard the murderous screams
Like something from your darkest dreams
Or seen the red eyes that shine thru the night
Or the long white hands prepare the dark rite
Nothing can explain its drive to kill
In the stolid night nothing seems real
No one that's seen it has lived to tell
Of the creature that's come from hell
CREATURE, CREATURE, CREATURE
Barren and desolate the nights are stark
Only a fool dares venture after dark
Those of who do soon face its glare
Afterwards, noises incoherent fill the air
It can happen on any darkened night
When there's not even a hope of light
The screams of the slain will often be heard
Testifying another killing has occured
CREATURE, CREATURE, CREATURE
The night is its kingdom and death is its lord
Those of who enter have their bodies gored
One upon another the corpses pile up
The blood used to fill its sacrificial cup
Do you ever hear on the darkest nights
The murderous screams of the sacrificial rites
Or see the red eyes that glow thru the mist
How could such a creature come to exist
CREATURE, CREATURE, CREATURE
