KNIVES OUT! LYRICS

1. Hide In The Sky

Save us from ourselves again!

Blood of Christ, sacrifice, god sent his son on a suicide mission
Lazarus, rise again, guilty are free thinkers of murdering religion
Blood-lusting clergy, comatose the parasite
Staring like a zombie into a blinding light
Follow me into the sea, reverse all evolution
Now the whole world deserves to die

Snake handler, holy men, pass around the basket, buy a ticket up to heaven
Misanthropic talent agency, feed me apathy directly to the blood stream

I can't find a reason to ever stop digging into my skin
I can't find a reason to ever stop digging deeper on the inside

Part the clouds and weave a disguise
Walk among the dead as the city breathes fire

Jesus Christ go hide in the sky
You are worth more dead than alive
The bread is the body, the blood is the wine
Kneel before the virgin as she bleeds from her eyes

Save us from ourselves again

Lead the weak to follow a fairy tale
Guilt filled command the obedient horde
Speak up disciple and tell me now
Exactly how he has saved the world

2. Hysteria

In this after-school special
The children never make it home
Hysteria, red skies and mushroom clouds
Hysteria, no where to go from here

21st century Armageddon is near

21st century Armageddon is here

Panic, panic, panic, relentless black mass hysteria
Panic, panic, panic, Armageddon 'til the break of dawn

Godspeed you tortured soul
Broken, bruised and beaten
Riding a headless horse into a non-stop suicide

Go write your eulogy in blood
All over the bathroom walls
Constantly cursed and denied
Please have mercy on me master

You're my only friend, and the walls are closing in
Sinking deeper into hopeless oblivion
Shy away the snake, your virtue is far more poisonous
And deadlier than he ever was

Manic, manic, manic, maniacal megalomaniac
Manic, manic, manic, sadistic thoughtless amnesiac

Godspeed you tortured soul
Broken, bruised and beaten
Riding a headless horse into a non-stop suicide
Do you remember what you said
When you were speaking to the dead
Constantly cursed and denied
Please have mercy on me master

You're my only friend, and the walls are closing in
Sinking deeper into hopeless oblivion
Shy away the snake, your virtue is far more poisonous
And deadlier than he ever was

Bombs away, I love the smell of napalm in the morning
Floating in limbo
Hysteria, red skies and mushroom clouds
Hysteria, no where to go from here
Do you remember what you said
When you were speaking to the dead
Please have mercy on me master

You're my only friend, and the walls are closing in
Sinking deeper into hopeless oblivion
Shy away the snake, your virtue is far more poisonous
And deadlier than he ever was

Death valley summer swelter
Desert sun and helter skelter
Goodnight, sleep well my love, there's nothing left to die for
In death I am eternal
One day it will arrive
To shine a homeward beacon
To be reborn into the light

3. Surrounded By Demons

Death rides a pale horse beside me
I am nothing but hopeless and surrounded by demons
Cursed by a violent possession
Feeding on perversion in a morbid orgy

Shedding my skin in this mortal illusion
Resurrected from the tomb and returning to the womb
I live eternal in the weak and the wounded
A ghost inside your heart, an echo in the dark

Surrounded by demons

Black mass, the midnight procession
Shape-shifting into madness, breathing heavy and out of control
Moonlit sadistic dissection
It's too late to repent as blood drops from the firmament

Shedding my skin in this mortal illusion
Resurrected from the tomb and returning to the womb
I live eternal in the weak and the wounded
A ghost inside your heart, an echo in the dark

And just before we disappear
Into thin air and far away from here
And just before we disappear
Into thin air and far away from here

Madly in love with the sick and the damned
You've made me exactly who I am
Madly in love with the sick and the damned
You've made me exactly who I am

Demons in the alleyways, devils in the streets
Baptized in fire and all hell is released
Demons in the alleyways, devils in the streets
Baptized in fire and all hell is released

Shedding my skin in this mortal illusion
Resurrected from the tomb and returning to the womb
I live eternal in the weak and the wounded
A ghost inside your heart, an echo in the dark

And just before we disappear
Into thin air and far away from here
Just before we disappear
Into thin air and far away from here

Surrounded by demons
Surrounded by demons

4. Blood Everywhere

You're instantly in love whenever the blood flows
And smiling as it's dripping from your hands
After birth the spawn of a mother
You ignorant, soulless mother fucker

Countdown to 12 more years of bloodletting, we're in this together

Entertain me, you promiscuous Medusa
As you're climbing up the walls and bleeding everywhere
Nervous virgin in a vampire's wet dream
And i just sit and stare as you're bleeding everywhere

Wicked witch of the west return to the village of the damned
And follow your trail of blood back home
Time and time again, I question your existence
Perhaps just an abortion that survived

Only revenge is in my eyes, and this one is just for you

Entertain me, you promiscuous Medusa
As you're climbing up the walls and bleeding everywhere
Nervous virgin in a vampire's wet dream
And i just sit and stare as you're bleeding everywhere

One's comedy is one's tragedy
All your envy and your jealousy
Your ignorance is enough to keep
This circus freak far away from me
Among the fields of sorrow, the red river floods will rise high
Unsympathetic, my conscious is clear, you'll never be welcomed back here

Paved in stone and all alone, follow your trail of blood back home

Entertain me, you promiscuous Medusa
As you're climbing up the walls and bleeding everywhere
Sweet revenge is mine just as the tables turn
And i just sit and smile as you're bleeding everywhere

Blood everywhere

5. Eat Your Heart Out

After the kiss comes the deathblow
Oh, what a lovely day to die
Come sweetheart, let me count your stab wounds
It seems unlikely you'll survive

Lay down, I want to eat your heart out
To bring us even closer

Lay down under the bluest skies and blow a kiss goodbye
Calm down and exit with the light, there's no need to cry

Adorn the altar with white roses
After you begin decomposing
You define the essence of all beauty
Oh, what a lovely day to die

Lay down, I want to eat your heart out
To bring us even closer

Lay down under the bluest skies and blow a kiss goodbye
Calm down and exit with the light, there's no need to cry

You have been saving yourself for this day all your life

And now the moment's finally here, so come a little closer to me

Lay down, I want to eat your heart out
To bring us even closer

Lay down under the bluest skies and blow a kiss goodbye
Calm down and exit with the light, there's no need to cry

6. Pink On The Inside

You're now my new obsession and i don't even know your name
I've got your pictures up all over the computer screen
Lethal injection, you're the only one I'm dreaming of
I crave the destructive hit from the gutter down to the pulpit

Here, kitty kitty, come and tighten the leash
How about a little discipline for the violent beast
Swinging machetes in a crowded room, and now I'm coming after you

Pink on the inside, a sweet tooth for genocide
A heretic in the family tree, selling misery-flavored candy
Now scream my name and let me know you're still alive
Come taste your savior as my honey drips down from the hive

Bulldoze the mass graves, spitting fire from the burning hole
Haunted humanity, church bells chime the death toll
Get yourself a mouthful, choke on it and spit it out
Sins of the flesh, my love, will set this world on fire

Pink on the inside, a sweet tooth for genocide
A heretic in the family tree, selling misery-flavored candy
Now scream my name and let me know you're still alive
Come taste your savior as my honey drips down from the hive

All your dirty secrets preserved in formaldehyde
>From the cradle to the grave, now no one will be saved

Here, here I am, feeding you right out of my hand

Ever since the second world war, you've had a sweet tooth for genocide
Ever since the second world war, you've been eating from the palm of my hand

Pink on the inside, a sweet tooth for genocide
A heretic in the family tree, selling misery-flavored candy
Now scream my name and let me know you're still alive
Come taste your savior as my honey drips down from the hive

All your dirty secrets preserved in formaldehyde
>From the cradle to the grave, now no one will be saved
She tells me that she has a thirst for blood
A little of the devil's wine that flows inside of everyone

7. Swollen Mistress

A devil in a blue dress
Kill the lights and play that record backwards
You blonde-haired, blue-eyed American disaster
Slip into a trance, suicide is subliminal
Show me how you hate me now
Torn apart and all cut up
Drinking from that hooker's cup
Rose pedals on the killing floor
You're all tied up and wanting more

You will play the victim, like a sheep led to the slaughter
Sit quiet and obey me, prove that you can take a beating
Waking up to find a horse's head under the covers
Exhaust the swollen mistress, turning tricks while hell is burning

Nailed up against the wall
Fuck it, who feels responsible now
A mouth full of Armageddon, burn it all to the ground
Stigmata rising in the summer heat
As the bodies fill the dead end streets
Amidst the feast and famine, there's a mirror on the wall
Reflecting sunken, lifeless eyes from the hours staring at the sun

You will play the victim, like a sheep led to the slaughter
Sit quiet and obey me, prove that you can take a beating
Waking up to find a horse's head under the covers
Exhaust the swollen mistress, turning tricks while hell is burning

Haunted, possessed, and full of venom
Knives out, eyes wide open and there you are
All cut up

Candles, coffins and pentagrams
Midnight phantom with idle hands

Kill the lights and play that record backwards
Exhaust the swollen mistress, turning tricks while hell is burning

You will play the victim, like a sheep led to the slaughter
Sit quiet and obey me, prove that you can take a beating
Waking up to find a horse's head under the covers
Exhaust the swollen mistress, turning tricks while hell is burning

Swollen mistress, stay the night with me
I'll leave the money where it's easy to see
Don't close your eyes, we have just begun
Don't close your eyes, we have only begun

8. Robot Babylon

It's judgement day you sinful and murderous pigs
Where is your savior now
The wrath of the ghost men knock at your door, as I hear you screaming
Now I'm the killer

Fire and brimstone, Sodom and Gomorrah, blood moon and famine, demonic hordes

Go, bury the prophets, raise up the dead
A pitch black sunrise, a hex on your head
God spawned the devil, lamb and the beast
The whores of Babylon, a ravenous cannibal feast

Relive the horror, a thousand plagues of hell
Morbid revelation, only time will tell
Sleep walking soldiers, march in the sun
A waste laid to rest, the end has begun
This prison cell is a house full of wolves
Lock me up now and swallow the key

Burning the effigy, a robot Babylon
Burning the effigy

Lie, cheat, steal, kill
God is dead

Robot Babylon, where is your savior now

Automatons go turn up the stars and cut up the sky
God is dead
Obedient androids come to crucify mankind
God is dead

Do you remember when you were raping the angels in the city of the dead

Androids of the seven hills, beating on the war drums
Rising like Atlantis, in the land of the skull

Lie, cheat, steal, kill
God is dead
Automatons go turn up the stars and cut up the sky
God is dead
Obedient androids come to crucify mankind
God is dead

9. The First Time I Discovered A Dead Body

Nails in the coffin, blood in the streets
Teenage runaway, dead before dawn

In the morning sun, I discovered you
Lying as still as the moon, you were as blue as the sea
That was the first time i discovered a dead body

Living a million deaths of desire
The dance of the dead is igniting the fire
Driven to madness and cursed by the light
Slip into shadows that resemble night

Deathbed, last confession, tell me what I want to hear

And then the second time was just a few feet away
Hit by a car at high speed under the pouring rain

Living a million deaths of desire
The dance of the dead is igniting the fire
Driven to madness and cursed by the light
Slip into shadows that resemble night

Midnight resurrection, take me to the sacrifice
Before they mastermind my misery, exorcise the demons

So ugly on the outside, all consuming from the inside out

Angels and demons dancing on your grave
Death lives forever in a spiraling decay
You're beautiful and far too young to die
A pale shade of blue with empty lifeless eyes

Restless apparition, over that haunted hill
Thank you for showing me death has a witness
You've opened up my eyes

As you slip away, fade away

Possess the psyche, you bloated cadaver
Swallow my soul if that's what you're after
Fear and fatigue as death reappears
I'll bludgeon the one who invited you here

Deathbed, last confession, tell me what I want to hear

Living a million deaths of desire
The dance of the dead is igniting the fire
Driven to madness and cursed by the light
Slip into shadows that resemble night

Midnight resurrect, take me to the sacrifice
Before they mastermind my misery, exorcise the demons
