Tracks



01. Intro

From beyond the grave
Beyond all sound
Beneath the world
In flames we found
A menace spawned
From time so deep
And from that abyss death did creep
To take from us what we could not give
And steal the life of those who would live
He comes though time to finish his task
Steal our might
Tear of our mask
With the stuff of life
Jizmoglobin
He comes through time
To slob on my knobbin'
Against his foe
His matchless strength
His fiendish servants
His probing length
He comes to devour all that we are
And if he succeeds it's the death...of...GWAR
Will there be a new Master the children will cry
For in this new world even death...can...die

02. Madness At The Core Of Time

Madness at the core of time!
Attack ships on fire
Plasma beams criss-cross the sky
Clashing carnage everywhere
Stench of death and burning hair
Mind-numbing midnight stories
Missions to the void
The maw it rips it shifts it splits
Our tattered legion
Humanoid

We saw the machines
Rise from the mound
We saw their weapons
They shook the ground
We felt the warfare
It was a curse
We swore resistance
It was the worst

Madness - at the core of time
Fate itself becomes un-entwined
Black hole bending - all is ending
Madness at the core of time

Triumph - this is the moment we've been waiting for
Power - we lasted this long and will forever more

We know what need we take and we feed
We live in a cave, we love a good bleed
We always return, we never regret
We never deny we never forget
We never will fall we never will fail we always rejoice
We always prevail
We live to lock horns, so glad to be born
That my balls just got shorn
cause the things were damn warm
We know what need we take and we feed
We live in a cave, we love a good bleed
We always return, we never forget
We never deny we never forget

Madness at the core of time
Fate itself becomes un-entwined
Black hole bending all is ending
Madness at the core of time!
Attack ships on fire [x8

03. Bloodbath

Well I saw the thing that no one should see
As I became the thing that no one should see
I became lost inside my mind
Happens all the time
I saw a dead body on the side of the road [x4]

Well, I saw a dead body on the side of the road
The dogs were gnawing on his face
Then out of the blue some homeless dude came hurtling through space
He had the most satisfied expression on his face
As if to say "in this last moment I am truly free"
Then the dude exploded on the street right in front of me

Get up!
Think fast!
Gonna be
A bloodbath
Cause you got one shot and you got one time
And if you feel like starting fires well I do it all the time
All my life is filled with death it's everything I see
My minds a muddy mess of jhenkum, crack and PCP
But death is just another foe, I fight them all the time
They gonna get me one day - before then I'm gone get mine

He's a creature wracked in pain
Watch the creature go insane
See the life go down the drain
He was one of the two, not just one of the few
He usually knew exactly what to do
Now he has left for the stars
He has left us to play bars

Get up!
Think fast!
Coming soon
Bloodbath
Cause you get one shot and you get one time
But if you feel like starting fires well I do it all the time
All my life is filled with death it's everything I see
My minds a muddy mess of jhenkum, crack and PCP
But death is just another foe, I fight them all the time
They gonna get me one day - before then I'm gone get mine

Get up!
Dead body
Get up!
Dead body
Get up!
Dead body
Bloodbath!
We fucking play guitars [x2

04. Nothing Left Alive

We turn to the sun
To send power below
And shackle the masses to the gleaming machines
They burned the world
We rose through the mud
But they came back
They brought with them blood

Nothing left alive
Nothing left alive

We are the Pig-Children
We live as slaves
We serve the leader
We die in waves
Encircled the Earth in a blistering cage
It became our grave

Nothing left alive [x3]
Nothing left alive

The world it was burned by the breath of the sun
They lived underground and stored food by the ton
Until they returned
Their weapons they burned

We serve the leader
He's really a bleeder
They come from dark caverns
Return to dark places
They give us orders
We don't see their faces

We never lived
We never tried
Life is eternal
We'll never die
We don't know why
Life is eternal
We'll never die

We live! [x2]
We live from day to day [x2]
Always in this way

Encircled the Earth in a metal cocoon
It glowed with the heat, there was no more room
They need us as slaves so they keep us alive
But if you want to eat - you must kill or die

Kill or die?
WE LIVE
Kill or die?
WE LIVE
We live from day to day [x4]
Always in this way [x4]
We live

05. They Swallowed The Sun

They burned the world
And swallowed the sun
They take from everything
And care for no one
They study our rage
So they rattle our cage
But when they were gone
That's the day we came of age

But what can you say
When the loam and the foam has all been boiled away
And the oceans are dust
You walk for five days to the mountains of rust
And where can you go?
This land is forsaken and nothing will grow
And all the gods know
That the suffering of Earth makes a pretty good show

Somehow we survived
We hunted we thrived
The first to eat
We were always the last ones to die
We conquered a world
While they waited below
Molten tracks in the snow
Return to the Masters too well did we know

The locks off the door
Detritus of science is heaped cross the floor
This junk only works when the power is on
For five hundred years the grid has been gone
Electronic art
Ended up lasting as long as a fart
But that's what you get when you love with no heart
Bending to ending as soon as it starts

They created life
It should never be that way
A bill for you to bear that they never meant to pay
They went underground
It was really rude
Because they took all the girls and the guns and had food
Stem cells and cloning and fucking an ape
But it's not enough I must reach beyond
Commune with the LoiGoi and become a God

They swallowed
We followed
They swallowed
They swallowed the sun
They swallowed
We followed
They swallowed
They've only just begun

The children were born
The children they died
When you live in the wasteland
Only the strong will survive
Remade the race
With the science of sin
Create a creature
We all can join in

we know where they are
We hunt them by night
They are dead by morning
Our schedules are tight!
Twenty hot chicks for every old man...
That was the plan, the chicks would eat spam
Or maybe pink slime
I don't know what they cal it but they eat it all the time

They swallowed
We followed
They swallowed
They swalloed the sun
Viagra amd meth
And stem cells and death
They sucked on the stock-pile til there was nothing left
Vampiric cybernetic harbinger of hate
Ain't power great?

Remade the race
With the science of sin
Create a creature
We all can join in

They swallowed the sun
They swallowed the sun
They swallowed the sun
They swallowed the sun
They swallowed
We followed
They swallowed
They swallowed the sun
They swallowed
We followed
They swallowed the sun

06. Torture

Down in syntho-mine number nine
Me and the mutants are doing quite fine
We received the stimu-spray, cold as ice
It keeps us going nice, then they come for us at night
With their gleaming metal teeth
Tendrils from the pulsing control rod
Enters my brain, gives pleasure, gives pain
What could it be except a god?

I remember the surface world like a dream
I remember...green
Now the flesh has been shredded from my arms
And been rewoven with steel
Now my body is mutilated
But still my mind can feel
They wanna study why I cry when I kill
And what they must do before I will

Torture-Torture-Torture
They apply [x2]
Torture of the mind
Torture of the soul
Torture of the body [x2]

The alarm is exploding it's time for the arena
But all I know truly is that I still live
Decided by only the death that I give
Or receive, decided by games
Sensors record and reflect on the pain
If my body rejects my implanted slay-mits
They'll burn me alive and recycle the bits

It's like a mental tractor beam-
Tearing at my mind can't you hear it scream
until the night, and their delight
They gave me a woman then turned off the lights
Upon a glowing screen, images are seen
They watch us suck and fuck
They think that it's obscene
They took her away,
We'll meet again one day
But not that way [x4]
Tearing at the tractor beam
Piling on the pressure let the protons scream
Simulated cyber-slay
No purpose, just another day...
Of...

Torture-Torture-Torture
They apply [x2]
Torture of the mind
Torture of the soul
Torture of the body [x2]

They lost their souls
They gained - control!

Whirling metal fest of knives
Driving needles into eyes
Again I've come out alive
But always they are in my mind
With drugs and sex they gild my cage
By brutish acts I pay with rage
But always I feel inside
They watch my thoughts
And see through my eyes

In the gladiatorial hives
I fight to stay alive

tearing at the tractor beam
Images without a screen
Piling on the power let the protons scream
Could it be a dream - something so obscene

One day I'll die
And when I do I'll try
To somehow become free
And take one of the things to hell with me
They made me kill my sister
They made me fucking fist her
They made me have sex with her corpse
They noted my remorse
In the realm of the Perfects [x8]
They noted my remorse

07. Raped At Birth

I was - I was - I was
Raped at birth
I was - I was - I was
Brutalized by beastly girth
I was raped at birth!

When I was a boy
My life was destroyed
I was raped at birth
I was not overjoyed

When I was a man
I hid in the can
I was raped at birth
Yes that was the plan
I went to my mom
She hit me with a pan
I was raped at birth!

Scumdog sex planet
Convulsing breeding hive
Spit forth the progeny
Through rivers of slime I writhe
Seeking warmth and light
Life begins, the world so bright
Too soon from the womb I'm torn
As penis plums the newly born

Mangled and tangled I flop to the floor
Speckled and spackled I run for the door
Though I'm but a baby I'm still eight foot two
I'll be raped at birth for the pleasure of you

I was raped yes raped at birth

When I was a lad
Halfway out the womb
They ruined my rectum
I fucked half the room
Now I'm a man
But I won't grow up
If you rape me again
I think that I'll throw up
Fit me for a truss
With a times eight leather cup

I was raped at birth!
It went on for hours
Scalding hot, the golden showers
Manifesting pimple power
Penis-poking tingle-tower
Still, it seems unfair
One time I got raped with a chair
Still, good came of it
Like every time I shit

Mangled and tangled I flop to the floor
Speckled and spackled I run for the door
Though I'm but a baby I'm still eight foot two
I'll be raped at birth for the pleasure of you
I was raped at birth

My masters knew well knew why they raped the newly born
The line at the door spoke of new forms of porn
I was raped at birth
The wretched infants were sullen, forlorn
The skin it was warm
We lived in a dorm
After we'd been raped we were all given weapons
Your grave is my glory, your face I will step in
But I'm not complaining that my life is fucked
I was raped at birth, from then on everything sucked

Everything sucked!
Everything sucked!

We were all raped at birth
It fucking hurts
Chased from room to room
Pinned in a corner
Bing bang boom!
Mangled and tangled I flop to the floor
Speckled and spackled I run for the door
Though I'm but a baby I'm still eight foot two
I'll be raped at birth for the pleasure of you
I was raped at birth

08. I, Bonesnapper

Invade your planet from outer space
Invade your planet to tear off your face
Incade your planet to enslave your race
No matter what creed, color or caste

Scumdog slaves
I, track, trap, train
Scumdog slaves
I, Bonesnapper
Where I was born!
Scumdog slaveship
I would take them there
Scumdog slaveship
Waiting in the air
Shipped in containers to the torture planet
Where I was born!
I would take them there
Scumdog slaveship
In the atmosphere

I AM NOT A TURTLE!
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
IT'S NOT EASY BEING GREEN

Lone survivor of endless war
Drenched in blood, soaked in gore
Shafted again, I get sore
Return to Earth to even the score
Scumdog slaves
I, Bonesnapper
Where I was born!
Scumdog slave world
I would take them there
Scumdog slave world
I am Bonesnapper!
Churning bodies with a roaring engine
I was reborn!
Burning in the air
Scumdog slave world
Has no atmosphere

NOBODY LIKES ME ANYWAY!
IT'S NOT EASY BEING GREEN!

In the years before I was caught by GWAR
I was an evil troll with a lust for more
Caught in the bowels of the Pyramid tomb
Nowhere to run
Doom!
Wereboth, the wizard
Marrowsucker, my friend
Both killed by foes led to my end
At night we would fight
And drink impaled ale
By the burning corpse light
From planet to planet
From war to war
We enslave and conquer
Worlds by the score
The battle, campaign
Operation, the tour
Scumdogs need
Slaves, more, more, more, more
My resume inspired
GWAR said "you're hired"
The battle with Syn is gonna be a riot
We raged in space
Destroyed the wrong place
So the Master banished us with no trace
Then we fell to Earth
And for what it's worth
No one remembers me
Since our re-birth
When it gets real gory
GWAR gets the glory
I get the blame
Fuckin' end of story

I, Bonesnapper
I was reborn
I, track, trap, train
Scumdog slaves
I, Bonesnapper
Slaveship master
I, track, trap, train
Scumdog slaves
Slaveship master
Scumdog slaves
Slaveship master
Scumdog slaves

09. Mr. Perfect

Oh my God
Oh my goodness
Please
Please don't kill me
Please
Please

When it same, it same quickly, and it same with no warning
The end of the world none were left for the mourning
Except the ones who had gone underground
As the surface-dwellers died they could barely hear the sound
Maybe the human race had time to scream
As the blackness came to their blue-sky dream
Everything came to an end that night
And you would die of fright if you didn't die outright
It was just another day when the air burned away
And the sky was on fire and stayed that way
There was little left but somehow you survived
Though it was a couple hundred years til you could go outside

Dying all the time
Eating rocks and clay
Maybe you'd be happier
With your body burned away
Perfect! Perfect! Perfect!
Mister P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P
Perfect!

Did you ever have a nightmare and it turned into a dream
But then it went the other way and that time it made you scream
Did you ever take a life when it's pulsing red and hot
Then you wouldn't, then you would
Then you will, then you think you'd rather not
Have you ever felt you haven't when you found out that you had
Then you did then you didn't and it made you really mad
Have you been on the air but felt all alone
When you copied the curse and they drilled you like a drone

He's Mister Perfect
Mister P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P
Perfect!
He's our mortal enemy, bringing death and no TV
He's Mister Perfect
Mister P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P
Perfect!
He's a fucking a-hole and his head is gonna roll

Gazing into the future
What visions do I see?
Two unblinking eyes fucking staring back at me
His people call him perfect but I can see his fraud
The latest losing edition of the latest man-made God
It was quite a shock when you ran out of time
You thought you'd go to heaven where everything is fine
Because all that you lived for - it became a lie
But Mr. Perfect loves it cuz he lives for you to die.
He's coming through time to chop off my balls
Drain them of juice and nail them to the wall
Feeds on his followers
Wherever they are
But the ultimate feast is
When he dines on GWAR

Gives him the power to swallow the sun
Then he'll be all alone, then he'll be the only one

I swear defiance
And non-compliance
To the bloody black flag
Of the United State
of DEATH
And to the abyss
By which we stand
We defy you
We deny you
As you spread ignorance and futility to al

11. Triumph Of The Pig Children

When a man makes a plan that will conquer an age
When a man takes a man and he puts him in a cage
When a man makes a man into sand
And he blows him away
He took their hearts and he cast them aside
And he made his machine
And he tried and tried and tried
But the triumph of the Pig-Children
It's gonna happen but why...

Break the chain
Cause them pain...eternal pain
We - we will remain
The triumph
The triumph of the Pig-Children

When a man takes a lump and it's one to the jaw
And you can't take a dump without breaking the law
And you can't take a walk 'cause you're blocking the street
And everybody knows that you're just a piece of meat
Look at the clowns that they put on parade
We can take it down and then end this mad charade
But the triumph of the Pig-Children
Where everybody gets laid

You need the most but you get the least
Because working you to death is the nature of the beast
The hive will burn, the mirrors will fall
We'll take Mr. Perfect and we'll nail him to a wall
Never saw the future, never knew the past
Never saw it coming but you knew it couldn't last
Shove him in the oven and hit the gas
Triumph of the Pig-Children, gonna have a blast

Break the chain
Cause them pain...eternal pain
We - we will remain
The triumph
The triumph of the Pig-Children
Smash their world
Break their blocks
Snap their locks
Chop off their cocks
The triumph
The triumph of the Pig-Children [x2]

It's my vision
A vision through time
The worlds in flames again
Remarkably sublime

Smash their world
Break their blocks
Snap their locks
Chop off their cocks
The triumph
The triumph of the Pig-Children

12. Falling

Falling - Falling
Falling
Away

Falling I'm falling I'm falling away
Falling I'm falling though I'd love to stay
Falling I'm falling and I feel just fine
But as I am falling you cannot be mine

Falling - Falling
Falling
Away

Falling I'm falling don't know for how long
Falling I'm falling it's not right or wrong
Falling I'm falling but what's this I find
At first I was falling now I'm going blind

Though I cannot see with my eyes sewn shut
Thought I was falling but I'm going up
Saw an angel with a devil's face
Then, rows, of dog-like fangs snap into place
Though I cannot see with my eyes sewn shut
Think I'm going down but I'm throwing up
Then, rows, of dog-like fangs snap into place

Falling I'm falling don't know for how long
Falling I'm falling it's not right or wrong
Falling I'm falling but what's this I find
At first I was falling now I'm going blind...going blind

13. Fly Now

He came from the place
Where all had gone wrong
They said he was weak
I said he was strong
I said come along...
Come along!

In this age of terror
In this age of man
Came a raging horror
Death was at his hand
Ancient was his wisdom
Boundless was his wrath
Endless was his torment
Shortened was his path

Rushing through the cosmos
See his soul unfurl
he was cruel yet somehow fair
Spurning turning twisting worm
But his dreams of glory
They can never die
There you see your Lord and Master
Streaking 'cross the sky
Oh won't you come with me
To the place where angels fear to fly
We'll ravage untold worlds
And split apart the sky
Oh yes there is a place
To make a devil cry
Oh won't you come with me
To the place where legends never die

Hate - Woe - Yes - No!
The fate of chaos
I don't want to go
No! - No! - NO! - No

Oh won't you come with me
To the land where angels fear to tread
We'll rip apart the sky
And have sex with the dead

Oh won't you come with me
To the place where angels fear to fly
We'll burn across the world
And split apart the sky

He - lived by the sword
He - became rather bored
He - held death at his hand
You - shall heed his command
I - he would stand and gape
As I taught him how to rape
He - had a pet goat
It - would rip out your throat
He was a brother to me
Fly now Flattus, Flattus be free
Fly now, be free
Fly now, be free
