about
From the upcoming album, "Find Me A Grave, Man."
lyrics
Bacteria looks for a home,
and you know it's not alone.
Facial orifices are so inviting.
Disease will wander in,
and infection will begin.
The germs will find it all just so enticing.
Blood will spread them all around,
everywhere that veins are found,
all over the body, germs will stay.
They're yellowing the whites of eyes
as kidneys will metastasise.
Where there's life, disease will find a way!
A plague on both your houses!
Tomorrow, a grave man you will find me.
A plague on both your houses,
for they have made wormsmeat of me!
GOOD GOD!
The victims of these sick persuasions
and biological invasions
start to exhibit symptoms oh most glooming.
Lethargy starts to take ahold
and they'll feel the deathly cold -
the microscopic force is all-consuming.
They'll cough and they will wheeze,
as the crippling disease
spreads throughout the body with much haste -
until their skin is going numb,
and they'll finally succumb
to the deep, cold black of Death's embrace.
A plague on both your houses!
Tomorrow, a grave man you will find me.
A plague on both your houses,
for they have made wormsmeat of me!
NOT NOW!
As you lay them in the ground,
lowering the coffin down -
about six feet underneath the earth.
Although they've left their life behind,
there's new purpose they will find.
Death simply prescribes a second worth.
Once they're covered up with dirt,
the ants and worms will go to work,
burrowing from earth into the flesh.
Although decay has started
on the dearly departed,
the scavengers will think it's rotting fresh!
A plague on both your houses!
Tomorrow, a grave man you will find me.
A plague on both your houses,
for they have made worms-
A plague on both your houses!
Tomorrow, a grave man you will find me.
A plague on both your houses,
for they have made wormsmeat of me!
FIE!!
