NEKROGOBLIKON LYRICS

1. The End Of Infinity

babies, children, women and men
get ready to implode on the count of ten
one two ten
pulled together
from every direction
as we penetrate reality
there’s no protection
death to the minister and
death to the scum
death to Satan
holy father and the sun
none shall be spared
including ourselves
goblin immortality invalidating time well spent
well we’re sick of it, sick to death
doesn’t matter if it’s right, cause it’s all we got left
it’s time for space and time to go
the black hole sucks cause reality blows
no distinction; you and me
this is the end of infinity
hope you had a decent life
hope your burdens didn’t weigh you down too much
hope you let the bygones by
hope you didn’t take no crap
hope you lived with no regrets and had good luck
hope you got to say goodbye
hope you realized that hope is just a lie
a forgotten ideal from a time when life meant more
more than four on the floor, designer booze and whores
but really, it couldn’t matter less
it’s time for space and time to go
the black hole sucks cause reality blows
no distinction; you and me
this is the end of infinity
so cry no more and have some fun
in a moment we’ll all be one
no distinction; you and me
this is the end of infinity
into the whirlpool of the void
we are all drawn
we’ve had enough of nothing
now everything will be gone
it’s time for space and time to go
the black hole sucks cause reality blows
no distinction; you and me
this is the end of infinity
ooh
goodbye now
the necessary preparations are made
the goblins are enjoying a massive parade
and everything that’s always held them down
is over
NOW
the spiral is unravelling
feathered ends ignite
witness the end of infinity
tonight
so cry no more and have some fun in a moment we’ll
all be one no distinction; you and me
this is the end of infinity
wanna see you smile
don’t wanna see you frown
because eventually it comes back around
but let’s just pretend, because until then
this is the end of infinity

2. We've Had Enough

It begins
Just a little too perfect
Something’s amiss
And we don’t know why
It feels like we’re aging
Constant raging, never better
Everything is fine
...yeah, right

Never known a conflict
Never had a need
Never lost a friend
Because we always agreed
Never disregard the need for turmoil
Eternity is just around the corner

In the beginning
The goblins were born
Peaceful and pure
Knowing and wise
Caring and true
You get the point
The point is the end that you stick in the enemy

In the beginning,
Life plodded on
Honest and fair
Knowing no lies
Humble and good
Faithful and kind
Dreadfully dreary, reality-blind

What does it mean to be alive?
And would it mean anything at all
If we were never gonna die?

Now time’s moving on
They’re still getting on
But something’s been bugging them all along
Can’t shake the feeling
That something is wrong
Life is so boring when we get along

Immortal in eden
Surrounded by cretins
They wait for the answer
They start to feel beaten
Venturing into the dark
Can’t wait for the bite if you don't hear the bark

What does it mean to be alive?
And would it mean anything at all
If we were never gonna die?
Throw it away, what's left to need
When you’ve got infinity
So much out there left to find
We'll do that some other time

But everyone gets restless
And all things must pass
What was once perfection
Was too good
Too good to last

What does it mean to be alive?
And would it mean anything at all
If we were never gonna die?
Throw it away, what's left to need
When you’ve got infinity
So much out there left to find
We'll do that some other time

Twist it up!
Bring us a conflict
It’s all that we need
Goodbye to so-called friends
Because we never agreed
It’s time for drugs and sex and violence
A life of excess and mindless highness

3. Bring Us More

yow!
come on, come on
alright, alright now…
it’s time to get fucked up
they tried living in peace, it didn’t go so well
they tried being at ease, but it was boring as hell
so now it’s time to turn around and try the opposite approach...
heavy drinking sex and drugs and gambling and violence!
bring it to me
it’s time I had it all
moderation is a fallacy
we’re not waiting for the fall (or are we waiting on the fall?)
sinking deeper in
I’m rising higher than I’ve
ever been before
so kill this conscience-clad delirium
and bring us more
now they’ve got some more (more)
and they all rejoice (more)
they just want some more (more)
this is purely by choice
whatever it is,
they want more than one
because life is dull
when you don’t have fun
so they bide their time,
because they’re never gonna die
might as well take an eon
and just get high
bring it to me
it’s time (I had it all)
moderation is a fallacy
we’re not waiting for the fall (or are we waiting on the fall?)
sinking deeper in
I’m rising higher than I’ve ever been before
so kill this conscience-clad delirium
and bring us more
why?!
it’s wearing off
our problems were supposed to be solved
but they’re not, we’re still alive
so let’s do some more
hurry up and bring it here
there’s no time to waste
we’re getting angry
getting conscious & getting bored
wait, I think it’s working
yow
that was a good call
now we’re definitely gonna be happy… forever
now the gutter’s overflown
and the streets are flooded
with the bile of the drunk
and the blood of the gutted
what in god’s name is this shit?
and what have we been thinking?
who gives?!
let’s just take another hit
and keep on drinking
bring it to me
it’s time (I had it all)
moderation is a fallacy
we’re not waiting for the fall (or are we waiting on the fall?)
sinking deeper in
I’m rising higher than I’ve
ever been before
kill this conscience-clad delirium

4. Snax & Violence

that was not a good call
we feel like balls
we took it too far
tell me where we are
what do we do now?
I thought we had it
figured out, but we don’t
we could do yoga
we could try sports
let’s just eat snax
(so we don’t have to snort)
snax are the best!
what a broad selection!
name your confection!
this is nothing short of perfection
-hold the phone!
we forgot about the violence...
nothing goes better with snax
than a little bit of
good ol’ fashioned bloodshed
so here’s what you do:
combine the two you
can save some face,
and eat it too
designer snax- they’re so far out
colorful snax- well they just stand out
credible snax- but can you trust them?
violent snax, yes- these are just the ones!
stripping flesh from bone
(you’re awake, but can’t scream with no tongue)
you’ll never make it home
(meat falls off the bone)
now that they’ve realized
the power lies in snax
they won’t be stopped
again they’ve got the answer now
snax snax snax snax
& violence
one among them sows the doubt
ain’t it great, wow
(why)
why am i me?
everything is so unfair!
why does god hate only me?!
ooh! active snax- get off your ass
ah! delicate snax- try to watch the grass
scree! hateful snax- you become what you choose
violent snax, yes- these are just the ones!
light is shining through
(the follicles of the skin from your arm)
it will never get to you
(plucked your eyes right outta’ your skull)
now that they’ve realized
the power lies in snax
they won’t be stopped
again they’ve got the answer now
snax snax snax snax
& violence
now they’re full; the doubt is sown
ain’t it great, wow
now that they’ve realized
the power lies in snax
they won’t be stopped
again they’ve got the answer now
snax snax snax snax
& violence
what do we need?
I wish someone would tell us what we need

5. Atlantis

"You’re ridin’ on a sinking ship
it’s ahead of its time
It cannot be
It won’t be allowed"

You may be right
But we’re too proud
To back down
We’d rather drown
We’d rather die
Than be alive
And throw it all away
Because someone else said
It shouldn’t be this way
We will not throw it away
Because someone else said
It shouldn’t be this way

Drink the standing water
You deserve what you believe
So go ahead and taste the fetid water
But me? I’ll drink from the stream

Drink the standing water
You deserve what you believe
So fucking drown in the fetid water
But me? I’ll drink from the stream

6. We Need A Gimmick

What do we need?
What do we need?
I wish someone would tell us what we need!

We need a gimmick
Pretty little gimmick
A fool-proof plan to gain the trust
Of the human race
After all…
We come from outer space
(and we smell like shit!)
No more shame; it’s time for fame
Nothin’ to lose, everything to gain

We’ve seen it, heard it, felt it, thought it, sought it
Lived it all before
We’ve read it, watched it, bought it, stole it, sold it
Now we just want more
Listen up!
We won’t be let down anymore

Now they’ve got a killer plan
And it just might be crazy enough to work

When it all began
They were desperate, they were prideful
They were reckless, pitiful scum (and never mindful)
Never thought enough to realize that
Everything is just a joke

We’re at it again
Just us and the friends
We know what this is
No need to lie
We push that boulder up the hill...

We need a gimmick
Squishy little gimmick
The perfect way to win the heart
Of the human race
After all…
They live in the comfort zone
(and they’re a bunch of dicks!)
Watch them watch themselves on hi-def plasma television screens
We made a human costume for a goblin
Best to hide the green

Now they’ve got a killer plan
And it just might be crazy enough to work

When it all began
They were desperate, they were prideful
They were reckless, pitiful scum (and never mindful)
Never thought enough to realize that
Everything is just a joke

But that was then...

Now they’ve got a clever plan
And it ain’t half-bad
it’s got to work;
it’s just what they need
They are temperate, they are mindful
They are zealous, wonderful chums (took off the blindfold)
Never thought enough to realize that
Everything is still a joke

We’re at it again
Just us and the friends
We know what this is
No need to lie
We push that boulder up the hill...
...but then it rolls back down again

Over and over
The coldest of shoulders
They're missing the point
Misguided drones
They keep checking their phones
As if it really fuckin’ matters...

We skinned a dog to make its hair
We peeled a preschool and stole their skin
Wow, ain’t he looking debonair
Just smash the face, he’ll blend right in

Ooh! now he’s getting on the ship
We built a rocket, to send him to earth
No need to freak, it’s just a trip
I think it’s about time you got a grip

We’re at it again
Just us and the friends
We know what this is
No need to lie
We push that boulder up the hill...
...but then it rolls back down again

Over and over
The coldest of shoulders
They're missing the point
Misguided drones
They keep checking their phones
As if it really fuckin’ matters...

What do we got?
What do we got?

…a gimmick!

7. Full Body Xplosion

It worked!

BOOM!
Full body explosion
Hate into joy
Death’s the quotient
At last!
They drank the potion
The plan is in motion
And the days are numbered
The goblins are unencumbered
Never thought a little gimmick such as this
Would go so well
They’ll be laughing
They’ll be dancing
'Cause the world is going…

BOOM!
Full body explosion

Never die
Never gonna die
Never gonna die
Still alive, fuck
Wanna die, but we’re just fine
Gotta quit
Really gotta quit
Really gotta quit
Still afflicted
Gotta quit but we can’t so

He’s got the news
The die are cast
Inform the friends
The future’s passed

Global explosion, a million hits
Tainted souls, who gives a shit
Drank the kool-aid, yakked it up
We made it on our own now lap it up

BOOM!
Full body explosion

They sold the tonic,
'cross the land
Planted the seed
Then soiled the plant
They’re watching humans exploding
Another painful reminder

Never die
Never gonna die
Never gonna die
Still alive, fuck
Wanna die, but we’re just fine

Gotta quit
Really gotta quit
Really gotta quit
Still afflicted
Gotta quit but we can’t so

They watch reality TV
They’ve got an app to track the spleens

Global explosion, a million hits
Tainted souls, who gives a shit
Drank the kool-aid, yakked it up
We made it on our own, now lap it up
Total repulsion, in the pits
Drink it down
Full body explosion

I just cleaned her off my shirt
Why did she pop? They can’t explain
The evening news has no report
We all just fertilize the dirt
All around me people blow
Tell me when’s my time to go
Tell me
When’s my time to go

BOOM!
Full body explosion

Global explosion, a million hits
Tainted souls, who gives a shit
Drank the kool-aid, yakked it up
We made it on our own, now lap it up
Total repulsion, in the pits
Drink it down
Full body explosion

Never die never die
We will not die

8. Let's Get Fucked

everyone gets restless, and all things must pass
moderation is a fallacy
dead! it’s what we’re gonna be
we will not obey your ego trip
we will not respect your authority
we won’t comply with your status quo
we will never accept your reality
an empire built on petty theft
and now you cling to nothing
like a puppet master, but all that’s left
are the strings attached
did you really expect that we’d believe
in your falsified idolatry?
the tides will shift and the sand will fall
but you’ve got no right to have us all
they will not hold us down
they’ll never succeed; they’re born of greed
never thought a little gimmick such as this would go so well
why does god hate only me?
they’ll be laughing they’ll be dancing ‘cause the world is going
this is the end of infinity
we do not curtsy before your illusion
we do not validate your exclusion
so why deny the thriving hive mind?
you can no longer control us
a pompous way of life gone by
we know it was there but can’t remember why
from this perspective, it all just seems so trivial and complex
some propaganda memoranda fascist days of future’s past
would never last
they will not hold us down
they’ll never succeed; they’re born of greed
everything is just a joke, hold the phone
it cannot be, it won’t be allowed
to enact the rites, they must be sung
in a moment we’ll all be one
you had your time and
you squeezed it dry
now you’re off the throne and
you don’t know why
you were so fair,
you were so kind,
you were oh so honest.
LIES! you were trading souls for paper,
raping hopes and chasing favor
selling prophecies of gold
scratched on thrown-out cardboard
well now it’s time to meet the maker,
you had hope, but now it’s wavered
you’ve got nothing you can keep
(only one thing left to do)
let’s get a party goin’ (get a goblin party goin’)
we don’t need your opinion to have fun
let’s get a party goin’ (get a goblin party goin’)
we will never respect you, ya got that?
let’s get a party goin’ (get a goblin party goin’)
if not, then why did you come?
let’s get a party goin’ (get a goblin party goin’)
life is a joke, so let’s have fun
we’ll find a way to corrupt this too
cause that’s what time is meant to do
try not to think, but try to do
and let’s enjoy it while it lasts

9. Mood Swing

we’d had quite enough
then you brought us more
next we found snax were the hangover’s cure
but still our hearts sunk;
deep into the funk
on with the gimmick, it’s oh so much fun
a devious plan;
the humans were fans...
till full body xplosion made them go bam
an empire fell
right back into hell
but we hate our selves
cursed with this wretched immortality
dead! it’s all I want to be
legend tells of an ancient book
hiding somewhere in the stars
with the words to set us free
the power to end infinity
I cannot get this foul taste
out of my mouth
I spit and I gargle
but all the same
it’s all the same
we’ve tried everything we could think
but we’re still not alright
now begins our quest for the book
the Nekrogoblikon!
so into the stars we go
sweet freedom’s evaded us
never a place for us
done with this wretched immortality
dead! it’s what we’re gonna be
legend tells of an ancient book
hiding somewhere in the stars
with the words to set us free
the power to end infinity
aboard the starship filth is king
we’re not ashamed of the life we refuse to lead
we quit keeping up appearances
a trillion years ago
now it’s time to swing and let it all hang out
to show god what we’re all about
I been up, I been down, and we’ve been all around
but this…
this is the final mood swing
the last place we looked
the place we began (with a bang)
at last! the book is in hand!
salvation found (in the deepest black hole)
in nothing, we’re finally whole
nekrogoblikon, the tome as written
the nekro race is smitten
the nekro race is over
done
nekrogoblikon has won
2

10. Nekrogoblikon

DIE!!
they’ve finally got the book
what a glorious day
things are going their way
enraptured
lost in the pages
inked in blood & bound with the ages
searching
for the passage that they need
hope is fading fast
there is oh so much to read
will they ever make it past the sleeve?
as their eyes begin to bleed;
they see the symbols in between
YES!!!
these are the words
we’ve found the passage in the sacred book
the celebration’s in full swing
1, 2, 3 cheers for the goblin king
wait, stop the press, double-check the page
it says we need a band, to take the stage
to enact the rites, they must be sung
the band we need is Nekrogoblikon
a rag-tag bunch of hideous scum
...they’re already on the way
they found a way
they found a way
we’ll never see
another day
they found the magic Nekrogoblikon!
and it all ends
as it begins
infinity repeats again
they found the magic Nekrogoblikon!
we’ve got to get the loudest guitars
the loudest drums
crank those microphones
if your ears aren’t bleeding, you’re doing it wrong
we could also try a keyboard
and maybe a bass
we’ll set a stage up on the moon
the rites require ample space
…PLAY!!
we are Nekrogoblikon
we’ve come a long long way
just to play you this song
they stacked the deck against us,
but we learned to count the cards
they wanted to destroy us,
now let’s send them our regards
well now it’s over
the show is done
it’d be a lie to say that we didn’t have fun
we’ve laughed, we’ve cried, and now we’ll die
(I guess)
we’ll see you on the other side…
they found a way
they found a way
we’ll never see
another day
they found the magic Nekrogoblikon!
and it all ends
as it begins
infinity repeats again
they found the magic Nekrogoblikon!
