Salem's Son
03:46
|
|||
|
From the witches hung back
In 1692
A curse was carried
To present day
Abigail (Abigail)
And Mary too
Your words invoked a
Puritan's punishment
A sight for some
Here comes
Salem's son
Salem's son
The Devil's own
Here comes
Salem's son
Salem's son
The heir apparent to
A New World nightmare
His name was tainted
This son of a witch

Pop Culture Antichrist
03:30
|
|||
|
Idols all look and sound the same
Another clone with a different name
I've seen it all a million times
It just gets watered down, more and more
It's only hate
That I preach
Call me the Antichrist
Pop Culture Antichrist
Open the gate
For the beast
Call me the Antichrist
Pop Culture Antichrist
No tattoos or a Hipster beard
Just long hair and really fucking weird
Rejecting the vernacular
Abhoring trends and modern ways
Always the one who's out of place
And can't relate to anyone

John and the Revelation
03:37
|
|||
|
I speak the truth from my point of view
Nihilistic and cynical
I drink your tears as I drink my wine
Who am I? This is:
John and the revelation
John the Revelator
We're nothing special we're nothing great
And the universe doesn't care
New machines will take our place
And surpass our wasted lives
This is:
John and the revelation
John the Revelator
We have no clue, but we think we do
Driven by the ticking clock
Full of life, yet dead inside
And we're here, killing time

Morbid Magick
04:26
|
|||
|
At the witching hour
She cried: "More, more, morbid...
Morbid minds turn me on"
Bound by blood and fire
Bold enchantress
Death romantic
Morbid Magick
Necromantic practices
Morbid Magick
Hexes and heretics
Witnesses to her power
They cried: "Whore, whore, horrid"
Then they burned her at the stake
But I'm here to bring her back
Beyond the laws of man
Bewitched by blasphemy
Exacting revenge
|

Prepare for things
You cannot explain
With forces beyond our
Understanding
A slave to the eye
Leading the way as
It feeds on hopes and
Our worst nightmares
It's time to reach out
And connect
Tonight
We will open
The door to
The other side
But we can't forget
To say
To say
Goodbye
It's fear and wonder
That motivates us
It feeds on hopes and
Our worst nightmares
"Hello, we would
Like to speak to
Whoever is listening
- Spirit or demon"

Skills in Nihilism
03:28
|
|||
|
We stay inside
And live online
So empty
With no desire
And we
Don't think
Don't care
We just exist
Turning avoidance into
An artform
We've got skills
(skills)
We've got skills
In nihilism
We've got skills
(skills)
We've got skills
In nihilism
Yeah!
We've got no purpose
No reason to live
It's hard to enjoy life
When you hate everything
There's one thing we know
And it's that
We've got skills
(skills)
We've got skills
In nihilism
We've got skills
(skills)
We've got skills
In nihilism
Yeah!
