SONG LYRICS & CHORDS (E)

I see you coming / One mile away / I will not listen to a word you say...

ENDLESS... / APOCALYPSE... / ENDLESS... ENDLESS......

GWAR, the once mighty / Scumdogs of the Universe wallow in the filth that their lives have become. / Drug addicted, riddled with disease...

Standing in the howling rain / 行くあてもないまま ただ瞳を閉じ闇の中へ / Finding in the wailing vain...

Unshadow thyselves, children. / The reign in flesh begins again! / V empire,...

Abandon hope all ye who enter here / For herein lies the path to sadness / The poetry of woe set midst the sweet lament of fear...

Light of Sun hidden by smoke / Water of black fills the rivers / Animal hides in its lair...

5-01 Down By Law / 5-02 Execution Guaranteed / 5-03 Before The Storm (The Secret Affair)...

In the night I returned to the graveyard / I just wanted to made sure he was dead / Prosecuted by neurotic obsessions...

Disinterring rotting carrion / Posthumous secretions flowing out / Manifested Livor Mortis...

Slicing deep into your excoriated abdomen / Slopping out guts when peritoneum is clouen / Your septic illiac fossa I excavate...

Disintering rotting carrion / Posthumous secretions flowing out / Manifested Livor Mortis...

Disintering rotting carrion / Posthumous secretions flowing out / Manifested Livor Mortis...

Consumed cartilage, absorbed mucous membrane / Internal Haemorrhage flowing from your airways / Desperately you gasp - ripping vocal cords...

Consumed cartilage, absorbed mucous membrane / Internal Haemorrhage flowing from your airways / Desperately you gasp - ripping vocal cords...

Slicing deep into your excoriated abdomen / Slooping out guts when peritoneum is clouen / Your septic iliac fossa I excavate...

Slicing deep into your excoriated abdomen / Slopping out guts when peritoneum is clouen / Your septic illiac fossa I excavate...

Embryonic lesions deformed my face / Eye-socket is empty but my vision remains / Repulsive images I can see with it...

Suctioning out the faecal detritus / Absorbing coproemetic grumes / Picking up excremental samples...

Hagalaz / -Light the torches / Hagalaz...

Force open the river's mouth / Do not wait for the pour / Go push open...

Through air / Along the path I laid / Saw it race by...

Fortresses built by idle hands / Weapons forged in the shadows / Solemn words praise the devoted and brave...

(Rune-chants) / A clear voice shouted / From the bridge between the worlds...

I saw a man-shape / Within the bone-dome / Went to ask who ’twas...

It was me on that road / But you couldn't see me / Too many lights out, but nowhere near here...

(Instrumental) / “Burke and Hare... it is said, are the real authors of the measure. It would have been well if this fear had been manifested and acted upon before sixteen human beings had fallen victims to the supineness of the Government and the Legislature. It required no extraordinary sagacity, to foresee that the worst consequences must inevitably result from the system of traffic between resurrectionists and anatomists, which the executive government has so long suffered to exist.” - ​The​ ​Lancet​ Newspaper, 1832 / “The inducement of this species of murder is the value of a dead body... [which] arrives from the scarcity of them in proportion to the demand... The scarcity of dead bodies for the purposes of dissection arises from a violent prejudice against dissection in the vulgar mind... This prejudice, against the conversion of inanimate flesh to the only useful purpose of which it is susceptible is fostered... in particular by the law, which directs that the bodies of murderers shall be 'anatomised'... for the express purpose, one might almost think, of strengthening the vulgar prejudice against dissection.” - Edward Gibbon Wakefield, 1831...

(In which pangs of conscience at last pierce the veil of our heroes' occluded consciences, long since numbed by their morbid professions) / “But woe to the riches and skill thus obtained, / Woe to the wretch that would injure the dead...

(In which the final grim realization is reached) / “The mob, which was immense... received with shouts the solitary wretch who found his way to the gallows out of the five or six who seem not less guilty than he.” - Sir Walter Scott, 28t​ h​ of January 1829 / “...The town of Edinburgh was filled with an immense crowd of spectators, from all places of the surrounding country, to witness the execution of a Monster, whose crime stands unparalleled in the annals of Scotland.” - Edinburgh Broadsheet 1829...

(A welcome to the ghoulish age of late-Georgian Scottish grave-robbery and a warning to the bereaved) / “The security inspired by rank and wealth against these irreverent intrusions on the sanctuary of the dead, is, as we all know, a mistaken confidence, since neither marble nor / heraldry is a protection against such practices; for what the audacious atrocity of the resurrection-man cannot, the venality of the sexton certainly, will accomplish” - Thomas Wakely, The Lancet newspaper 1832...
