The Death Knell Ringeth

To all the creatures
In gossamer disguise
With phantom hands
And hagfish eyes

Toothless cretin
Blind to the promise of spring
Grasping at ghosts
Follow your nose off the cliff's edge
Just let me sit in peace on the precipice

Anemic dinosaur
Drunk on nostalgia
Clinging to crumbling walls
Wipe that grin off your smug face
Before I teach you what life's about
What it really means to suffer
Don't bother making my bed
In your ghost town

Dense automaton
Digging up graves
To please gods lost to history
If you need me, God forbid
I'll be out back shooting at stars

Small-minded misfit
You think I'd spend a moment
Of this ethereal voyage
Basking like a lizard in your twilight?

I'm ringing the death knell
Go to hell

Kneel for no lord
Time's too fucking short

Strutting all night
Satan nips at our heel
Decked out in
Leather and steel
