Plague Bell
We were the children of promised light
Taken to task for the world we blight
Time is no counselor of how we expire
Meet the black death and call it a liar
Death goes on
Despite prayer and tears
Tortured end to fear
Dirt and masks of pain
Plague bell rings again
Carry your white stick and paint on your cross
Ward off the blessed and pray for your loss
'Morrow the shoveler will plant your remains
Stench of decay mixed with horseshit and graves
Death goes on
Cart and horse pulls in
bodies lain within
Dirt and masks of pain
Plague bell rings again
Death goes on
Cart and horse pulls in
The collection begins
Dirt and masks of pain
Plague bell rings again

Super Science
Faced with the crime of knowledge
Faith without fear or wonder
Lead to a super-science
Take to the skies and beyond
Beyond
Paradise lost to madmen
Summoning death from darkness
Breaking a world from heaven
Flee from your pale blue mother
oh yeah
Where were the shining knights
Challenging from the fields
A zodiac traced in fire
And ashes in glowing steel
Take a voyage to the center
Of your lonely mind
Flee the species that you tried to
Warn of their demise
Take a ride on the Cosmic Caravan
Let's get high on the Cosmic Caravan

Phosphorus

Phosphorus
Clawing your way through the mire
With hollow resolve
Flesh has worn thin, eyes have melted
Mind has dissolved
Not enough left to call human
Paper skin tears
Spent my last breath praying for more
After these years...
Well everything's gone wrong somehow
Our voice becomes unholy vows
Another page torn from the tomb
And bury us deep in your womb
Hunger inside feed the dead light
Eat but not taste
Gnashing of teeth, grinding sinew
Nourish the pain
Purpose gone mad, sunshine wasted
Cold burning fire
Worshipping flesh, desecrated
Funeral pyre

Mortal

Life revolving, mortal man
Strands of spiders web
A universe for those who plan
For gods to rule from heavens
Yeah!
Cosmic children of the void
Cradle of the stars
Tempting nature to destroy
Legacy of scars
Yeah!
Classified as chosen ones
Promise made by liars
Centuries of holy wars
Led by life defilers
Yeah!
Vestige of a blackened world
Signal to the remnants
Penetrate the darkened skies
A message for descendants
Yeah!
The search for, traces of earth lore
Painting a dark past, a species that can't last

Devil's Due

The Devil's Due
Everybody gathered when the devil came to town
Peddling his white roses and snake oil to the crowd
A dram of my elixer and you're pain will wash away
The first one's free and then I'm gone so buy a box today, yeah!
All I need's a signature to keep you in supply
I'll come back here once a year and keep you by the by
Just be sure to mind the rules and not exceed your dose
What you become when the bottle's gone is worse than all your woes
Scratchin' and clawin' at your face when you were low
Leaving streaks of blood and tears and dirt has stained your soul
Get on your knees and beg the priest to let you in the church
The medicine became the friend that left you in a lurch
Face the strange and rearrange your life around the role
A monster with a thirst for blood and death to pay the toll
The salesman never said I'd be a reaper on the loose
But when I kill it's such a thrill to give the devil's due
Crawl to you your master
Leave your tears at it's feet
Cast off your fears
And beg for liquid release
Cup runneth over
Holy grail for a king
Slip into coma
Living death for a drink

Mosquitous

Hide in your black space
Forsake the human race
Trade your blood to feed
A priestess and her creed
Mosquitus takes her coin
In fear, and sanguine flowing
The swarm she rules must drink
Needle dipped in crimson ink
... like tithings
A congregation... in thrall
Remunerations.... pale skin
aedes plaga within
Life - the gate between lies shut
Infected with her blood
A tincture of disease
And pain with no release
Comatose and dreaming
Of death and silent screaming
...like prayers
A congregation... in thrall
New species... pale skin
aedes plaga within
Swarming for Mosquitus
They know what she likes
