Think "black metal Johnny Cash" and you've got a good idea of what's in store in for this track. One of the most unique songs of the album.
lyrics
I walk toward the abyss uncertain and contained
Corruption condemnation - FUCK ALL!!
The religious persuasion
I've seduced all the sisters of fate
I'm the devil's doctor of hate
Love me morphine maiden - DIE!!
Now take the dead man's hand
Raise it high! Immortal darkness begs
From one burning light, but I embrace the night
Floating on a river in hell
I read the rhymes of killers and fiends
Rotting souls, love and dreams
Jesus begs for golden dimes
I don't feel saved, committing holy crimes
I taste the flesh of wet little nuns
Twisting sins and demon poets scream
Bathe me in the blood of whores
Chain your soul to the lord of worms
I lament with the dead man's ballad
I swim in blood to pray valid
Feeling black and sad makes me - SO GOD DAMN HAPPY!!
Beware of beetles marked for death
Decaying bones rattle my sins
I'm a very wicked man with sadness weeping
Give me your empty soul
Let me strap you down, dead scrolls spinning
Walking spoiled whores, oh no!!
The black earth has raped my flesh
Crimson rain, fucks my brain!!
I write this dead man's ballad
So you'll know what's darkly crowded
And should I live again
I'll drink from the rotting tin and then
Scream the dead man's ballad
Fuck the living lie - just..... DIE!!
