The Death Knell Ringeth Lyrics


To all the creatures

In gossamer disguise

With phantom hands

And hagfish eyes

Toothless cretin

Blind to the promise of spring

Grasping at ghosts

Follow your nose off the cliff's edge

Just let me sit in peace on the precipice

Anemic dinosaur

Drunk on nostalgia

Clinging to crumbling walls

Wipe that grin off your smug face

Before I teach you what life's about

What it really means to suffer

Don't bother making my bed

In your ghost town

Dense automaton

Digging up graves

To please gods lost to history

If you need me, god forbid

I'll be out back shooting at stars

Small-minded misfit

You think I'd spend a moment

Of this ethereal voyage

Basking like a lizard in your twilight?

I'm ringing the Death Knell

GO TO HELL

Kneel for no lord

Time's too fuckin' short

Strutting all night,

Satan nips at our heel

DECKED OUT IN

LEATHER AND STEEL
