you’re not like us you know
you are a throwback to the individualistic, unconditioned embryonic development
something happens in the incubation process
and instead of one of us perfected ones
one of you develops
a throwback to ancient times
an imperfect creature
out of the past
i detest affection
any display of sentimentality
but you do feel the need of close human sympathy in your life
none whatsoever
i believe i am thought in a hundred quarters to have been barely decent
i am one person who does not love his fellow men
i followed strange paths and worshipped strange gods
i was leading, all of these years, a selfish, frivolous, scandalous life
something repulsive
and deadly
being in love, as you put it, or having someone in love with me
would be the most monstrous and horrible situation i could possibly imagine
he was one of the most infamous monsters who ever lived
well whatever it was
it was horrible
i’ve been a coward
but not of men
or things
or living
it was horrible
just of
it was horrible
not living
i’ve been afraid of
death
death
all those faces alike
staring, talking
staring, talking
all those faces alike
staring, talking
staring, talking
a sort of weird interbreeding of a family
resulting in feeblemindedness
wonders ahead, horrors ahead
i’d kind of like to be there and see them, wouldn’t you?
he killed for the sheer devilish pleasure
he killed for the sheer devilish pleasure
it gave him to kill
they were a creation of evil
they were malevolence
for the sheer devilish pleasure
he was one of the most infamous monsters who ever lived
something repulsive
and deadly
you could then be destructive
destroy, destroy like a child with no guilt
i followed strange paths and worshipped strange gods
something repulsive
and deadly
deadly
i’ve been a coward
but not of men
or things
or living
just of
not living
you don’t know what i mean, do you?
must i say it, must i say the word?
alright, i will
i’ve been afraid of death
death
i’ve been a coward
and whatever it is, it has no mind
it was horrible
well whatever it was
that thing is a slobbering idiot
it was horrible
and that’s hatred
it was horrible
hatred
it was horrible
hatred
well whatever it was
disgust
it was evil
haunt me no longer
eyes i thought were closed for all eternity
eyes looking at me for one brief moment, alive
awful
full of indescribable
terror
darkness
darkness
darkness, horror of darkness
darkness, horror of darkness
i can still see the awful horror of its fleshless bones
can’t imagine anything so utterly monstrous, horrible
i can still hear still hear its frightful laughter
smell that stinking odor of decay and mold and death
mold and death
mold and death
i can still hear still hear its frightful laughter
smell that stinking odor of decay and mold and death
you’re a true creature of the devil
mold and death
wake up
i could feel something cold and gelatin-like
i’ve never seen such evil
you’re a true creature of the devil
i’ve never seen such an evil face
all except the eyes
they, they the old ones, all around us
holding us down
giving us everlasting life
and then giving us
nothing to live for
nothing to live for
no, no, leave me
haunt me no longer, do you hear?
haunt me no longer
eyes i thought were closed for all eternity
eyes looking at me for one brief moment, alive
awful
eyes i thought were closed for all eternity
eyes looking at me for one brief moment, alive
awful
full of indescribable
terror
full of indescribable
terror
terror
awful
mold and death
terror
awful
mold and death
i’ve never seen such evil
i’ve never seen such an evil face
darkness
darkness
darkness, horror of darkness
darkness, horror of darkness
darkness
darkness
darkness
horror of darkness

i mustn’t be scared
it’s so quiet in here
if i could only hear someone saying something
saying anything
i wouldn’t feel as if i was going crazy
i wouldn’t think that all the world is dead and i’m alone
i cant be scared
if i start being scared
i’ll go on getting more and more scared
i’ll begin to see things in the dark
the dark is full of awful things
no, i mustn’t think of it
i’ll go crazy thinking
i mustn’t be scared

this place is all wrong

a blight has fallen
a blight has fallen on all fruitful plants
and every day
black death grows richer
surely you don’t question the violence thats in all mankind
it lurks underneath the surface
this “thing”, as you refer to it
is a man
a man
fear is rooted in ignorance
then came the thing that struck terror in my heart
and every day
black death grows richer
and then came the thing that struck terror in my heart
that was the night
terror
terror
that was the night that i screamed
a blight has fallen on all fruitful plants
a blight is on the cattle of the fields
a blight is on our women so that they bear no children
and every day
black death grows richer
despite the lamentations and the prayers
they sit facing the cathedral
praying that this terror will depart
their prayers
they go unanswered
i’ve prayed and lighted candles
for some guidance for a wise word from god
but i hear nothing
fear is rooted in ignorance
surely you don’t question the violence thats in all mankind
it lurks underneath the surface
i’ve prayed and lighted candles
for some guidance for a wise word from god
but i hear nothing
i’m helpless
i’m helpless
this plague must be ended
once and for all
this plague must be ended
once and for all
this pestilence
this pestilence
this dread pestilence
this dread pestilence
it must
be
driven
out
this
sickness
this
pollution
this
sickness
this
pollution
this sickness
this pollution
that’s descended
this sickness
it must be driven out
it must be cured
this sickness, this pollution
is man
man
man
i can’t figure out how a man can become so twisted
its a man
if you can call him that
but why does he let it happen
why does a god of love take away an innocent
and by the hand of someone so twisted
so twisted
so twisted
i, whom god despises
above all men on earth

it’s witchcraft
it’s witchcraft
it’s black magic
satani levitas
setan
i was not meant to serve
and neither were you
because they are a dying species, grasping for resurrection
they don’t deserve to start again
and i’m not going to let them
even monkeys stood upright at some point
some neanderthal
had the magical idea of blowing through a reed
to entertain the children one night in a cave somewhere
then
in the blink of an eye
civilization

the most haunting of our ghosts
are often not those of the dead
and departed
but those immortal ones
that represent our own
unlived
life
there is no rest for me
never again will i know peace
never again will i know peace
never again, the luxury of happiness
the most haunting of our ghosts
are often not those of the dead
and departed
but those immortal ones
that represent our own
unlived
life
there is no rest for me
never again will i know peace
you see?
empty
there is no rest for me
you see?
never again will i know peace
you see?
you see?
there is no rest for me
never again will i know peace
you see?
empty
empty
never again,
empty
the luxury of happiness
i’m nothing
nothing
nothing at all
deathly silence
the horror of the thing had a fascination for him
what is left for us?
to wander up and down
what is left for us?
pretty ornaments with empty lives
you may be weak
you may be pale
you may feel only half-alive
sounds reasonable
you may be weak
you may be pale
you may feel only half-alive
sounds reasonable
your whole brain should be shriveling with the horror of it
you may feel only half-alive
there’s something awful in here that’s making me afraid
there’s something awful in here that’s making me afraid
