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

Abominable
by Telekinetic Yeti

Just crushing, jam-tacular riffage of a flavor only they can deliver! Morganthus

EVILSPEAK
by EVILSPEAK

Absolutley dripping with the gothic evil of European doom, while combining it with the crushing riffage of western stoner metal. This is brilliant, inspiring work. Morganthus
