Kicked and beaten as a child

Slapped and battered and reviled

Bullied by those larger than me

Forced to asphalt I could not flee

Bruised and bloody every day

I did not know what to say

Face down soaked in tears and blood

Choking in the scarlet mud

Then I learned how to fight back

Words and weapons my attack

My battered soul finally healed

Black metal my sword and shield

I am gaylord

Nazis beware

I bring carnage

Fascism I rip and tear

I am gaylord

Bigots take heed

I bring revenge

You'll lay slaughtered all around me

Years later I would discover

How to think and to uncover

All the lies upon this world

Antifa's flag I would unfurl

Taking up the bullies' insults

Stalking through the fascist kvlt

This music my shield and sword

To become black metal's gay lord

Then I learned how to fight back

Words and weapons my attack

My battered soul finally healed

Black metal my sword and shield

My sword and shield

I am gaylord

Nazis beware

I bring carnage

Fascism I rip and tear

I am gaylord

Bigots take heed

I bring revenge

You'll lay slaughtered all around me
