POLKADOT CADAVER LYRICS

1. Last Call In Jonestown

Sunday mantras repeated together
Predict second coming's, I forecast the weather
Snakes never bite us, gathered we sing
God is our shephard, the glory, the king
I'm knocking on your hearts door, let me inside
Follow me now, let me be your guide
Gather now children and welcome the dead
And silence the beast inside of your head
Last Call! Last Call! Last Call in Jonestown
Bottoms up, Swallow the hemlock
Drink from the cup!
Last Call! Last Call! Last Call in Jonestown
Bottoms up, Swallow the hemlock
Drink from the cup!
Pupils dialated, roll over white
I am a witness to Heaven's bright light
Join hands now ye faithful, In worship we sing
But the light is too bright, I can't see a thing
Save us now father from what we've become
Bring us together now as one
Guide us to paradise to Jesus the son
Save us now father from what we've become
Last Call! Last Call! Last Call in Jonestown
Bottoms up, Swallow the hemlock
Drink from the cup!
Last Call! Last Call! Last Call in Jonestown
Bottoms up, Swallow the hemlock
Drink from the cup!

2. Phantasmagoria

Bodysnatchers and the holy ghost
The lamb of god and the headless goat
Posessing the masses and the misanthropes
White platinum stars slit their golden throats

I'm still here hustling, paying dues to the latest henchmen
Pennies from heaven, never enough charity to go around

Is it phantasmagoria, feeding the hysteria
Smoke and mirrors, make your escape
Heretics and sleight of hand
The poltergeists are back again
And now we're sleeping, sleeping with the lights on

Stigmata rising on my face and hands
While building castles with the sandman
By candlelight we eat our last meal to
Newborn cries and pig squeals

Phantasmagoria, feeding the hysteria
Smoke and mirrors, make your escape
Heretics and sleight of hand
The poltergeists are back again
And now we're sleeping, sleeping with the lights on

Only fear lives here now...

The omens, the covens, green witches, faith healers
The omens, the covens, green witches, faith healers

Our curiosity has come back to, to haunt us
Our past has come back to, to haunt us
Our sins have come back to, to haunt us
Our fears have come back to, to haunt us
Our past has come back to, to haunt us
Our sins have come back to, to haunt us
Our fears have come back to, to haunt us
After the blood, sniffing like dogs

Only echoes and fear remain, Only echoes and fear remain

Is it phantasmagoria, feeding the hysteria
Smoke and mirrors, make your escape
Heretics and sleight of hand
The poltergeists are back again
And now we're sleeping, sleeping with the lights on

Only fear lives here now...

3. Painkiller

You and I were meant to be
At war, eternally
Two lone battleships at the sea
Staring at the enemy
Nurturing the urge to destroy
Escape becomes a dirty word
When you try to kill the pain
Rolling up the coast, top down, in a daze
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm feeling good
Whispers in the wind, head spinning around
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm feeling good
In the valley of dry bones
We burn the fat off our souls
Where everything is meant to be
Infamy and obscurity
Now hunger and our thirst is raw
A primitive survival song
Where everything is meant to be
Sucking and gnawing like baby teeth
Choose your poison
Walk the edge between
Overdose and tranquility
Fear becomes a dead friend
From sweet release, to the bitter end
When you've got nothing to lose
In the valley of dry bones
We burn the fat off our souls
Where everything is meant to be
Infamy and obscurity
Now hunger and our thirst is raw
A primitive survival song
Where everything is meant to be
Sucking and gnawing like baby teeth
Battle ready, From the cradle to the grave
Write the menu of become the menu
I see you clinging to air
My ghost is holding your hand
A master, mistress and slave
Aboard a ship with no name
The mockingbird sings your song
From twilight until the dawn
To carve a path out of light
To set the soul into flight
In the valley of dry bones
We burn the fat off our souls
Where everything is meant to be
Infamy and obscurity
Now hunger and our thirst is raw
A primitive survival song
Where everything is meant to be
Sucking and gnawing like baby teeth
Painkiller! Painkiller! Painkiller! Painkiller!

4. Touch You Like Caligula

You're all mine, The world is mine
You're all mine, The world is mine
If I touch you like Caligula
Will you be my Mary Magdalene?
I'll dress you in my mother's clothes
From her closet full of skeletons
You're all mine, The world is mine
You're all mine, The world is mine
The road less travelled led me to Salem's Lot
Where the devil in the details, tied my neck into a knot
Our cancer is blooming like a flower
Shatters the glass holding the hour
If I touch you like Caligula
As curious as Oedipus
Into the darkest of desires
To consequence I grow remiss
Take a step closer to the edge of what you fear
Behind you looming silently, you feel me drawing near
Your pounding heart now is the only thing you hear
With my hands around your neck I whisper in your ear.
Midnights eternal in this wine soaked bacchanal
Sky high on venom while bonding with the beast
No rest for the wicked, no compassion for the weak
A marriage of power, now the world is all mine
Seven deadly sins, where do we begin?
Seven deadly sins, where do we begin?
You're all mine, The world is mine
You're all mine, The world is mine
Take a step closer to the edge of what you fear
Behind you looming silently, you feel me drawing near
Your pounding heart now is the only thing you hear
With my hands around your neck I whisper in your ear.
Midnights eternal in this wine soaked bacchanal
Sky high on venom while bonding with the beast
No rest for the wicked, no compassion for the weak
A marriage of power, now the world is mine
The road less travelled led me to Salem's Lot
Where the devil in the details, tied my neck into a knot
Our cancer is blooming like a flower
Shatters the glass holding the hour

5. Sheer Madness

Behind every fortune is a great crime
Future dividends begat my past lives
White walled cuckoos nest
Chemically calmed, we smile and sing
A night at the opera, a day at the races
You should have seen the look on their faces
A lifetime of sadness, turns to sheer madness
God only knows why
I found Jesus under the sink
His hair was long, his cheeks were pink
Now I smile and sing
La la la la laa laa laa
I've found Nyquil quite delightful
To calm the nerves, you goddamn right it will
Make you sing: glory to the newborn king
A night at the opera, a day at the races
You should have seen the look on their faces
A lifetime of sadness, turns to sheer madness
God only knows why
The end is near
Repent or enter the lake of fire
The day of reckoning's upon us
Judgement day has come
A night at the opera, a day at the races
You should have seen the look on their faces
A lifetime of sadness, turns to sheer madness
God only knows why
The flies at the altar, the pawns in their places
The exorcists voice, and the acolytes faces
A lifetime of sadness gives birth to sheer madness
As god sits alone in the sky

6. Impure Thoughts

Black and blue, covering you with dry dead leaves and witch perfume
You're an obedient slave. A vulture pecking shallow graves
The moon, the stars, the sun
The aftermath, what's done is done

Named betrayal by your mother, now slither away
Your lust for another is a sinful display
No past, no future, only now!
Swinging a cat and taunting the crowd

You don't wanna know, what I've been thinking
While your castle was burning and your ship was sinking
I belt out that hook, imperfect pitch
Trapped in your head, Stuck in your lip

Love... Love, love, love...

Cradle your foul creation, A deformed infant
Just skin, teeth and hair
Convince it to love you or beat it to submission
Preserved now, set it in a jar
Years have passed, You've come so far
Slow march to the gallows pole
Denial at this point won't bring the nipple to the babies mouth
Or keep my soul from flying south
I'm an insatiable creature
I want what I want, I want what I want, I want what I want
And I want it now!

I know you felt the same way
Clip the achilles on game day
We'll make it hurt
Leave you a cripple
I know you felt the same way
Clip the achilles on game day
We'll make it hurt
Leave you a cripple

You don't wanna know, what I've been thinking
While your castle was burning and your ship was sinking
I belt out that hook, imperfect pitch
Trapped in your head, Stuck in your lip

Spirit men, fight through the crowd
Spinning around and upside down
Cracking whips and heart attacks
Lust and desire, carved in your back

Flesh on flesh
Skin on skin
Take me to hell your in

7. Rats And Black Widows

Thy kingdom come has come undone
On the cross your only son
For the hills the peasants run
The trap is set, the web is spun

Like moth to a flame
I succumb to temptation
I take it in vein
Decayed... withered away
Our golden years
Spent tilling our graves

The seven seals, eyes of the dead
Under the veil, inside your head
The pale horse, the necrophage
Red skies, the black plague

Like moth to a flame
I succumb to temptation
I take it in vein
Decayed... withered away
Our golden years
Spent tilling our graves

Rats and black widows
Our house is condemned

Our lives are condemned, Our lives are condemned
Our lives are condemned, Our lives are condemned

Like moth to a flame
I succumb to temptation
I take it in vein
Decayed... withered away
Our golden years
Spent tilling our graves

I hear you screaming my name
Our golden years
Wasted and profane
Atrophied, left to decay

Our lives are condemned, Our lives are condemned
Our lives are condemned, Our lives are condemned

8. Lunatic

It only hurts, if you let it in
Feeding on muscle, under your skin

Spread out the pieces, the look on your face
Scatter the ashes all over the place

In my heart, you are an infection
In my eyes you are divine
Strange machinations involving my ultimate demise
On the block, inch by inch, all over you,
Skinned up soul, Foul religion imprisoned in your womb

It only hurts, if you let it in

I'll take the wheel and pull of the road
Teach you a lesson, before we get home

Which one of us is the lunatic?

In my heart, you are an infection
In my eyes you are divine
Strange machinations involving my ultimate demise
On the block, inch by inch, all over you,
Skinned up soul, Foul religion imprisoned in your womb

I only shoot when you drive by
Bullets fly, fill the sky, Oh my, oh my
I only shoot when you drive by
Bullets fly, fill the sky, Oh my, oh my

Death spasm, You ain't innocent
You made your bed, now lay in it
Guilty pleasure and pestilence
You broke the leash and jumped the fence
Death spasm, You ain't innocent
You made your bed, now lay in it
Guilty pleasure and pestilence
You broke the leash and jumped the fence

You know you'll never get away

9. All The King's Men

Batten down the hatches
The devils got the wretched twitch
Send in the cold assassins
With a blitzkrieg fever pitch

All the eyes on you
Hypnotic voodoo
An overnight sensation
Isn't that what you wanted?

Global sodomy
Earthly catastrophe
New world order
Thy will be done!

Starlight, starbright, who we gonna kill tonight?
Vermin in the burrows? Hunters in the shadows?

All the kings horses and all the kings men
Sent to fight a rich mans war have come home cold and dead
In the forest of hanging bodies, we're feeding the trees
Blood, sweat and oil and plastic apologies

Into the jaws of death
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Big war, big business
Moral suicide

Starlight, starbright, who we gonna kill tonight?
Vermin in the burrows? Hunters in the shadows?

All the kings horses and all the kings men
Sent to fight a rich mans war have come home cold and dead
In the forest of hanging bodies, we're feeding the trees
Blood, sweat and oil and plastic apologies

The worm has turned, The cities have burned
The sky is on fire, Your children are dead

The worm has turned, The cities have burned
The sky is on fire, Your children are dead

All the kings horses and all the kings men
Sent to fight a rich mans war have come home cold and dead
In the forest of hanging bodies, we're feeding the trees
Blood, sweat and oil and plastic apologies

Starlite, starbright, who we gonna kill tonight?
Compassion to calm the empire
Or fall the way of Rome
Bring your sons and daughters
Your brothers and sisters home

10. Animal Kingdom

Call man a human, but I feel like an animal
The world's a jungle, we build and destroy
No wonder why, we cage the wild beast
As their appetite's grotesque
Voraciously increase

Dog eat dog, spit it out, feeding the homeless
Empty confessions, compassion escaping me now

I am what I eat, what's the beast to do?
Who am I to feel for those destined to fail?
Only the fittest will ultimately survive...

Lions feed on inferior breeds, I consume, therefore I need..
Eating of God's vital seed, delicious indeed..

I feel nothing now, except the need to keep on feeding
Canines sink into flesh, my eyes roll back
I pour salt on your skin
This is my kingdom, where you all have your places
Consuming all, even their faces

Lions feed on inferior breeds, I consume, therefore I need..
Eating of God's vital seed

You are beautiful indeed, don't take it personally
We are what we eat, don't take it personally

Dog eat dog, spit it out, feeding the homeless
Empty confessions, compassion escaping me now

Lions feed on inferior breeds, I consume, therefore I need..
Eating of God's vital seed

Swallowing the roaring seas, I am nourished, not by your charity
But the fact that you are weaker than me

Don't take it personally

11. Transistors Of Mercy

[feat. Neil Fallon of Clutch]

Overturned, the scarab begins to panic
Pleading to a desert moon
Mercy arrives, in the form of captive stepford wives
In rapture, the scarab tumbles down the blazing dune
Invalid file formats
Latched together into sad little heards
Behind them a trail of bits and broken pieces
Vicious apes drag them onward with whips and with words

Transistors of mercy
Guide us in this darkest hour
Protect us from the whim of the simian beast
Grant us the sacrament
Grant us the power

Hunters of the dawn, emerging from the fog
Crawling, head their calling and obey

In sand, the scarab leads scriptures
For the captives to stare at to no end
The ape has his god's and is the king of liars
And you have no god and cannot pretend

Transistors of mercy
Guide us in this darkest hour
Protect us from the whim of the simian beast
Grant us the sacrament
Grant us the power

Alien time travel evolution attack
Ape men to the the left, right, front and back
Planetary quakes shift just as I turn
Galactic expansion fuel exhausting the burn

Weathered widows, missionaries
Conducted impulse once miscarried
The message with a wink and a nod
Delivered to the hands of god

Missing link of future inventions
The result of evolutions intentions
Bread and water, blood and wine
Yawn and stretching out the dawn of time

Transistors of mercy
Guide us in this darkest hour
Protect us from the whim of the simian beast
Grant us the sacrament
Grant us the power to conquer and devour

As you roll out hieroglyphics across the sky
Soul transforming body and mind
Remaining only tooth and bone
Hallowed be thy name written stone

12. Epilogue

Graveyard shifts in the garden
Dirt under your nails
You've been hiding from the sun
Leather skin, cold and pale

You've been thinking of a girl
When you were a younger man
Who stole your breathe with her smile
As she took the flowers from your hand

And then she walked away, Never to be seen again
And then she walked away, Never to be seen again

Perhaps it was a dream
A callous on your soul
Soil under your knees

While you were digging that hole
And planting the seeds
Will they ever com to thee?

Far more beautiful than you, Remember her to be
Far more beautiful than you, Remember her to be

Day after day
You'd peer out your window
Praying that the seeds will grow
Into a blooming crescendo

A symphony of roses, that sing to your heart
A sweet lullaby till death do you part
And the very next day
As you peered out the window

There they were
To your suprise
A symphony of roses
That brought tears to your eyes

A sweet lullaby till death do you part
A symphony of roses that sang to your heart
