lyrics

Maggots and flies greet the morning light, a smell as bad as the hideous sight
A mad racket orgy of violence and pain
The bringer of sorrow, his clutching hands, bodies in bags the tax that war demands
Phosphorus and napalm fall like rain
Rotten corpses salute no one, the rising stench of flesh baking in the sun
Jesus weeping, all is said and done
Dragging your leg behind you, inching along the way
In times of throbbing agony there really ain't much to say

CHORUS:

Persona non grata, the plague is coming home
The potential's always there for a real bad day

Can you deliver? She said to me, I'm worth every bit and it's plain to see
Down on your knees the view is as wide as you please
It's all about champagne and caviar, “Someday in Hollywood I'll have my own star”
Unquenchable needs the blood on which pleasure feeds

Body parts in every direction, bullets make for such lovely dissection
Mud and blood splattered all over the place
Suffocating in the thick, ripe air, pieces of meat and blood splattered hair
The mangled remains of what may once have been a human face
Rotten corpses salute no one, the rising stench of flesh baking in the sun
Jesus weeping all is said and done
Dragging your guts behind you, spewing along the way
In times of throbbing agony there really ain't much to say

Alex writes what he wants to write and flat out refuses to be pinned down. Hopefully it all fits (of course it do). ... more
