Album : Scream Bloody Gore
Year : 1987
Suicidal preacher hangs himself
Unfaithful servant goes straight to hell
When he returns, your life will end
Down from the skies maggots descend
Least expecting his horrible face
Your decayed guts you soon will taste
Unholy feeling grows deep inside
Choking on your guts you open wide
Regurgutated guts
Satisfy his needs
Regurgutated guts
Now you're gonna bleed
Visions of death are growing clear
Life as a corpse is what you fear
Searching through the graves to be set free
From the curse of the priest that's come to be
So unaware of what's to come
Your guts are his when he is done
Reaching for your cross to end this pain
Your life and blood he will have drained
Regurgutated guts
Satisfy his needs
Regurgutated guts
Now you're gonna bleed
In his trance
Your eyes they bleed
Your guts come forth
For his own need
Bastards, 1993
Murder I am, you know it was me
I was the one that you didn't see
I was the cut, down to your bone
I put you there under that stone
I, I am the blade
I am the dream of the brave
I, I am the knife
I bring grief to your wife
I, I am the sword
I am the word of the Lord
Do what you will, I bring you the edge
I am the one to sever your head
I cut so deep, I can cut straight
It all depends on the moves you make
I, I am the blade
I am the promise unmade
I, I am the knife
I bring death to your life
I, I am the axe
To stop you dead in your tracks
I, I am the sword
I bring the fear of the Lord
Centuries pass, dust in the wind
I shall remain, shining in sin
The metal I am, the iron you feel
The song of the dead, the chorus of steel
I, I am the blade
I break the oath that you made
I, I am the mace
I am the blow in the face
I, I am the axe
To cut down heroes like rats
I, I am the sword
I do the work of the Lord
Forbidden places, 1991
Love flies on wings
Listen to the angels sing
Love flies on wings
Put it in the calibrations
Show it to be ornamental
Wrapped up, crapped on, torn up, thrown away
Love flies on wings
Oh be joyful
Try knock 'em stiff
Send in the clowns
Popskull
Here come the clowns
Welcome all to tiny town
Send in the clowns
Put it on the burner
With an extra shot of bubble water
That's right you take no more little dribble
Here come the clowns
Oh be joyful
Try knock 'em stiff
Send in the clowns
Popskull
Love flies on wings
Listen to the angels sing
Love flies on wings
Put it on the burner
With an extra shot of bubble water
That's right you take no more little dribble
Put it in the calibrations
Show it to be ornamental
Wrapped up, crapped on, torn up, thrown away
Love flies on wings
Oh be joyful

Use your Illusion I, 1991
Don't damn me when I speak a piece of my mind
'Cause silence isn't golden
When I'm holding it inside
'Cause I've been where I have been
An I've seen what I have seen
I put the pen to the paper
'Cause it's all a part of me
Be it a song or a casual conversation
To hold my tongue speaks of quiet reservations
Your words once heard they can place you in a faction
My words may disturb but at least there's a reaction
Sometimes I want to kill
Sometimes I want to die
Sometimes I want to destroy
Sometimes I want to cry
Sometimes I could get even
Sometimes I could give up
Sometimes I could give
Sometimes I never give a fuck
It's only for a while
I hope you understand
I never wanted this to happen
Didn't want to be a man
So I hid inside my world
I took what I could find
I cried when I was lonely
I fell down when I was blind
Don't damn me when I speak a piece of my mind
'Cause silence isn't golden
When I'm holding it inside
'Cause I've been where I have been
An I've seen what I have seen
I put the pen to the paper
'Cause it's all a part of me
How can I ever satisfy you
An how can I ever make you see
That, deep inside we're all somebody
An it don't matter who you want to be
But now I gotta smile I hope you comprehend
For this man can say it happened
'Cause this child has been condemned
So I stepped into your world
I kicked you in the mind
And I'm the only witness
To the nature of my crime
But look at what we've done
To the innocent and young
Whoa listen to who's talking
'Cause we're not the only ones
The trash collected by the eyes
And dumped into the brain
Said it tears into our conscious thoughts
You tell me who's to blame
I know you don't want to hear me crying
An I know you don't want to hear me deny
That your satisfaction lies in your illusions
But your delusions are yours an not mine
We take for granted that we know the whole story
We judge a book by it's cover and read what we want
Between selected lines
Don't hail me an don't idolize the ink
Or I've failed in my attentions
Can you find the missing link
Your only validation is in living your own life
Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time
So I send this song to the offended
I said what I meant and I've never pretended
As so many others do intending just to please
If I damned your point of view
Could you turn the other cheek
Don't damn me when I speak a piece a mind
'Cause silence isn't golden
When I'm holding it inside
I've been where I have been
An I've seen what I have seen
Put the pen to the paper 'Cause it's all a part of me
Don't damn me
I said don't damn me
I said don't hail me
Ah, don't damn me
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Alright, that sucked
Beyond the veil, 1999
Challenge my own world to chaos
Thoughts to mind becomes my arch enemies
Skin to teeth, visions appears to me in red
Scouring my wounds with your spit
Down in apathy which is growing
Once dragged down within a mayhem of light
Skin to teeth, ripping my inwards apart
Poisoned with wine from the sick
Silent to drowse with the phantoms
And let the fire engulf me
Dibadis, promonis
Amorir, pitesadimo
Dibadis, promonis
Amorir, pitesadimo
Sanguine rebirth
Sanguine divined rebirth
Now your faces facing me
As transparent masks
Dibadis, promonis
Amorir, pitesadimo
Dibadis, promonis
Amorir, pitesadimo
Solum dolum mei doloris
Solum dolum mei doloris
Solum dolum mei doloris
Solum dolum mei doloris
I'm pyretic to all heedful dead souls
Claiming lands where even angels fear to tread
I am torture disguised
Named by man as a creeping jesus
All heedful souls
All heedful
Still they pester me
Still they haunt, as placidity is borned
The remembrance, age of innocence lost
Agnus Dei
Agnus Dei
Agnus Dei
Sellus fidasmei, formi filosus
Sangui colossus malo cruoris
Ascend
Fire dance with me
Let me be the most licentious martyr
Ascend
Fire dance with me
Let me be the most licentious martyr
Sear me

Sheer heart attack, 1974
My new purple shoes
They've been amazing the people next door
And my rock 'n roll 45's
Have been enraging the folks on the lower floor
I've got a way with the girls on my block
Tryin' my best to be a real individual
And when we go down to Smokies and rock
They line up like it's some kind of ritual
Ooh, give me a good guitar
And you can say that my hair's a disgrace
Or just find me an open car
I'll make the speed of light outta this place
I like the good things in life
But most of the best things ain't free
So this same situation, just cuts like a knife
When you're young, and you're poor, and you're crazy
(Crazy, young and you're crazy, young and you're crazy)
Ooh, give me a good guitar
And you can say that my hair's a disgrace
Or just find me an open car
I'll make the speed of light outta this place
Lutherion III, 2006
Touch chaos
in darkness
walk lightly among the tombs
move gently into the depths
where i seek the truth
in the eye of the triangle
unfold this hidden temple
sing another requiem mass
sing out loud for us
Illuminate (revealed)
i burn the incense-cake, proclaim
these adorations of thy name.
behold this bleeding breast of mine
gashed with the sacramental sign!
this vault appears to have
no entrance beyond the veil
of faith!
Illuminate (revealed)
the assassin’s anagram
so dark the con of men
an astonishing truth
concealed
for decades
unveiled, at last
this church appears to have
no entrance beyond the veil
of faith!
Illuminate (revealed)
Alice in Chains, 1995
Be what you wanna be
See what you came to see
Been what you wanna be
I don't like what I see
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you, hell within
And you think you have it still
Heaven inside you
So there's problems in your life
That's fucked up, and I'm not blind
I'm just see through faded, super jaded
And out of my mind
Do what you wanna do
Go out and seek your truth
When I'm down and blue
Rather be me than you
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you, hell within
And you wish you had it still
Heaven inside you
So there's problems in your life
That's fucked up, and I'm fine
I'm just see through faded, super jaded
Out of my mind
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you, hell within
And you know you have it still
Heaven inside you
So there's problems in your life
That's fucked up, but you're not blind
You're just see through faded, overrated
And out of your mind
