See the village on fire Watch the preacher burn Now who you callin' a liar? It's time for you to learn, learn you will! See the village on fire Watch the people run Satanic rites to get higher The ritual has begun If you don't know by now Then you never will! I set the village on fire Lord have mercy If you don't know by now Then you never will! I set the village on fire Watch those people burn!

Sits ‘pon his throne Bongs made from bones All the villagers, they come for sacrifice The three beasts: lust, pride, avarice The obsession of worldly goods will kill you all Crowned in Ouija Sits ‘pon his throne Pipes made from bones All the villagers' daughters come for sacrifice You know why Crowned in Ouija

Obolus 06:34
"Creatures, Spirits, Angels and Deities: welcome to the Fifth Circle!" "Welcome to the Fifth Circle," said the cosmic ferryman Whose boat ferries the souls of the damned across the river of Death Place a gold coin on the mouth, so the soul won't return But don't forget to pay me or your soul will burn! Many of you up there walk around like you're it Whilst down here lie like pigs in shit Leaving your condemnations far behind They are the Blind... Descending further from the light, to the Fifth Circle of Hell There's no way to fight, I can hear the bell! Can you hear the bell? It rings for you! Cos I am the boat man and I ferry souls across the Styx It ain't no joke man, you better save some gold for those eyes!

Blood, lightning, earthquake and thunder There ain't no water, your desert's so dry To live is to die Earthquakes in desolate places You should see the looks on their faces Your desert's so dry, Purple Kong so high! Take a look at yourself my friend, before you judge me Cause I've travelled many miles, many galaxies But guess what - I don't give a fuck about your human ways! Cause all you were ever designed for is your end of days and as always... Blood, lightning, earthquake and thunder There ain't no water, your desert's so dry To live is to die Earthquakes in desolate places You should see the looks on their faces Your desert's so dry, Purple Kong so high! Take a look at yourself you dick, before you judge me Cause I love everyone, all communities But guess what - I don't give a fuck about your human ways! Cause all you were ever designed for is your end of days and as always... Blood, lightning, earthquake and thunder There ain't no water, your desert's so dry To live is to die Earthquakes in desolate places You should see the looks on their faces Your desert's so dry, Purple Kong so high!

Mount Kong 06:13
Forgive the children, they know not what they do Forgive me and I might forgive you Psychedelic bugs bring psychedelic dreams Black mirrors all around me Tell me what it means What does it mean? On the day I was born they ran me out of town Left me to fend on a mountain top I've been tryin' to get down Lord knows I've done nothing wrong Now I'm a prisoner a prisoner of Mount Kong So I spat in the eye of the tribesmen Cut the villagers' throats You know I made them all flee the island They all went by boats And now I'm back and I'm feeling oh so strong Now you're a prisoner, a prisoner of Mount Kong Forgive the children, they know not what they do Forgive me, I love you Psychedelic bugs bring psychedelic dreams Black mirrors all around me Tell me what it means What does it mean? Forgive the children they know not what they do Forgive me and I might forgive you I got psychedelic bugs in my belly and my brain is turning to jelly Tell me what it means Tell me what it means What does it mean?

Hellbringer 07:16
I slayed all the devils in hell So I could set my mind at ease After slaying those devils in hell Why is there a devil next to me? When I was young I used to think I knew it all Short as fuck but I always walked it tall Enemies, I liked to leave 'em on the shelf The only enemy I really have is myself The mind can be a terrible thing to waste But there's a time and a place, and I laugh right in its face I slayed all the devils in hell So I could set my mind at ease After slaying those devils in hell Why is there a devil next to me? Wake up, check my life, anxiety kicking in I ought to leave it alone, anxiety always wins Mother Earth please forgive us for all our sins I tried to be a better man, we don't always win We used to be children of the grave We're now nothing but slaves, media slaves I slayed all the devils in hell So I could set my mind at ease After slaying those devils in hell Why is there a devil next to me?

The man lived alone Words were his only friends No pity, he preferred it that way Until one day, evil summoned the end... For the last man on earth Is it a blessing? Is it a curse? There's no salvation There's no reverse For the last man on Earth He roamed the land looking for a piece of light Then he found his words and then he lost his sight The last man on earth Is it a blessing? Is it a curse? There's no salvation There's no reverse For the last man on Earth "And as we struggle through life's everyday bullshit We proceed to give you what you need" The last man on earth Is it a blessing? Is it a curse? There's no salvation There's no reverse For the last man on Earth
