Venom and Piss You sold your own for a house on the hill With your precious little one Tell lies to protect your own skin, to justify your twisted actions Live your life and live your days You’re nothing but a memory It’s not something that I’ll forget or miss A person full of venom and piss Shine your halo swaddled in flies I can see through your disguise Venom, hatred, vile and piss It’s known that tigers eat their young Hell, you do that just for fun Spiteful with a blacken soul, your hatred is down right out of control Shine your halo swaddled in flies I can see through your disguise Betrayed by a mother with a judas kiss Venom, hatred, vile and piss When it’s time for judgement day I can hear the lies you’ll say Spittin’ and foaming and slamming your fist Like person filled with venom and piss You sold your own for house on the hill You turned your back on the ones you loved Venom, Hatred, Vile and Piss Betrayed by a mother with a judas kiss Venom, hatred, vile and piss Venom, Hatred, Vile and Piss Betrayed by a mother

Rise Up from the Grave Just put me in a casket And drop me six feet down Once you mention cancer They’ve put you in your crypt No one gives you a fightin chance Once you’re in cancers grip You might as well lay down Inside a pine wood box Without the effort of a fight Cause they have no courage Rise Up from the Grave Don’t listen to what people tell you Rise Up from the Grave Rise Rise Rise Up from the Grave Just go on like every other day Rise Up from the Grave Rise Rise Just put me in a casket And drop me six feet down Behind their words of false hope Cause they don’t think you’ll stick around Pick up a shovel And dig your own way out Pay no mind to the unbelievers They have no clue what it’s all about Rise Up from the Grave Don’t listen what people tell you Rise Up from the Grave Rise Rise Rise Up from the Grave Just go on like every other day Rise Up from the Grave Rise Rise March with the Army of Dead, for they are with us A phoenix is rising, so let the flag unfurl Walk through the valley of death And walk like you own the world Rise Up from the Grave

Monsters Ball Welcome degenerates, one and all You’re all invited..to the Monsters Ball Step this way and watch your step Open the doors to the Monsters Ball Welcome one and welcome all, I’m glad you decide to come You’re all invited to the Monsters Ball It’s the quiet man, they’re the people next store, You don’t know what goes on behind closed doors The evil inside will come alive And the bodies will wash ashore Has anybody seen the waitress Helene Serving up her soup and drink Officer Schaefer patrolling the grounds, A real lady killer, in ways more than you may think John Wayne Gacy is turning on the charm Bragging about the parade in his town With the dirt still under his fingernails He continues to clown around Step this way and watch your step Open the doors to the Monsters Ball Once inside, you’ll never leave Welcome to the Monsters Ball It’s the quiet man, they’re the people next store, You don’t know what goes on behind closed doors The evil inside will come alive And the bodies will wash ashore Bible John, dancing in the ballroom Debonair and light on his feet In the corner, Karl Grossman sets up shop Selling hot dogs and his own black market meat Ed Gein and his newly acquired spleen Wearing his heart on his sleeve Next in sight, Charles Albright Keeping his pupils all in a row Solo Step this way and watch your step Open the doors to the Monsters Ball Once inside, you’ll never leave Welcome to the Monsters Ball Fisher and Jeff, tried to digest But left because they we’re fed up with people Now, Father Hans looked rather relax After spending time under the steeple Looking cute in her husbands suit Katherine Knight played with the foreskin Just as she was handed a business card Promoting the family Bender Inn

On a Tuesday Morning (The John J Harvey) Streets of Dust that blow past me And find it hard to believe That all is lost, who will rescue me Here comes the John J Harvey On A Tuesday morning, they awoke me from my sleep A call to the John J Harvey, the promise I swore to uphold and keep As I fulfilled my service They said I was past my prime Now it’s time to surrender To prevailing hands of time They said that I have seen better days And to make way for a younger breed It’s not what you need On A Tuesday morning, they awoke me from my sleep A call to the John J Harvey, a promise I swore to uphold and keep As our world came crashing down I was well on my way Another old ship who’s time has come Tell me that when it’s all done I’m what you need… On A Tuesday morning, they awoke me from my sleep A call to the John J Harvey, the promise I swore to uphold and keep And as the day was half over My actions spoke louder than words There was never once a second thought I was brought back into my world Solo On A Tuesday morning, they awoke me from my sleep A call to the John J Harvey, the promise I swore to uphold and keep

These are the Days 17th Street corner, we’re running from the law Long haired and under aged, they got us by the balls Another bottle brought in, by friends And again, we thought these days would never end It was all for one and one for all These are the times and days that made me I’m proud to be who I am These are the people and friends that made me Proud to know them through the years The candle melts away, the promises of yesterday Drunken nights and barroom fights This was the world they gave me Down far by the bay, the girls gave it away City streets, the summer heat But the band continued to play on Walking up Broadway to Wolfson’s record store Van Halen II was just released, Thin Lizzy with Gary Moore The trestles burning again, gasoline And things, best to keep them out of view It was all for one and one for all These are the times and days that made me I’m proud to be who I am These are the people and friends that made me Proud to know them through the years Cut off both the sleeves of the recent concert tees Beer and cigarettes, there was nothing I regret This were the days that made me Saxons in the rounds of the metal underground Only in the dark, would we journey to the park My little piece of this world You could see the writing on the wall And some bad habits had to fall..yeah… Solo These are the times and days that made me I’m proud to be who I am These are the people and friends that made me – (to be added) Proud to know them through the years Stealing Lennys rolls on our way back home Scoring 6 for 5, crankin’ out KISS Alive This was the world we lived in The calendar flipped its days and we went our separate ways A girl with green eyes took me by surprise These are the days that made me Drunken nights, street fights These are the days These are the days These are the days that made me Vomit in our bed, waking up the dead...ohhhhhhh!

Suzie with an Uzi Suzie with the Uzi And it’s real this time Someone stole her Frankie And they crossed the line Suzie with an Uzi Marched to KFC They got to give up Frankie On the count of three Suzie snapped and now she’s mean She plans to empty out the magazine Came home from work and Frankie wasn’t there All the scattered feathers near the kitchen chair Suzie walked with Frankie past the KFC Every day about a quarter to three Against the window was the working staff And everyday they’d just point and laugh Frankie weighed about 40 lbs He was the biggest chicken that was ever found Suzie with the Uzi And it’s real this time Someone stole her Frankie And they crossed the line Suzie with an Uzi And she marched right in Got her finger on the trigger Let the slaughter begin She’ll be marching Gun keeps clickin Someone’s in for A real ass whippin’ Suzie with the Uzi And she’s seeing red All dogs go to heaven When they wind up dead Suzie with an Uzi It’s a big bad deal She’s thinkin’ Frankie’s In a big box meal Suzie’s raised in the working class And she know that they gotta eat fast This little guy is her family Not on the menu at KFC Someone’s asking for a real ass kickin' Some stole Suzie’s pet chicken Frankie’s home, on the window sill Suzie snapped and now she’s mean She plans to empty out the magazine Came home from work and Frankie wasn’t there All the scattered feathers near the kitchen chair Suzie walked with Frankie past the KFC Every day about a quarter to three Against the window was the working staff And everyday they’d just point and laugh All the eyes would stare and linger She would just flip ‘em the middle finger Suzie just went crazy ans she cam undone She’s mean motherfucker with a big hand gun If you ever mess with Frankie you better watch your back Who ever heard of chicken attack Suzie's in the big house and she’s doing time Frankie got her out with some dynamite The moral of the story is she’s coming fast Don’t fuck with Suzie’s chicken or she’ll kick your ass

Taste My Fist You came in like a gunslinger trying to take me down You got lucky with the very first shot and won the opening round When I awake every day, I sit at the edge of my bed I reach down to the floor and the past replays inside my head Things have been hard but I’m not one to complain If I dwelt on the things of the past, I’d go totally insane We can stand toe to toe with an IV in my wrist And I’m gonna give you fair warning, You’re gonna love to taste my fist Taste My Fist If you care to hang around, I’ve told you once before Once we get into the thick of things, it’s an all out war You can choose and walk away but if this problem persists I’m gonna give you fair warning, You’re gonna love to taste my fist You have a reputation, that’s feared all over this land People shudder when they say your name and I have seen it first hand Until it’s done, its all talk and I think you’re a great pretender There’s one path I will not take, and that’s the path to surrender My tombstone is set but I think that’s premature You can unlock the gates of hell but that’s something I can endure And after this is over, you worthless piece of shit Once it’s done, it’s done for all You’re gonna fall, now taste my fist Taste My Fist

Bow Down to the Queen Looking down from your castle From the turret of your steeple No one’s allowed to leave this town We’re just the lowly people Get what you want, no matter the cost You can just buy whatever you just lost Bow down….to the queen Isn’t she the best thing you’ve ever seen The world kneels down at the base of her feet Bow down…..to the queen Talk behind your peoples back Then act like they’re your friend If they only knew the real you, You’d be alone again Bow down….to the queen Isn’t she the greatest thing you’ve ever seen The world kneels down at the base of her feet Bow down…..to the queen Solo Bow down….to the queen Isn’t she the greatest thing you’ve ever seen The world kneels down at the base of her feet Bow down…..to the queen Off with her head! Throwing gold coins at your servants To keep them on a leash You don’t get your way, there is hell to pay The nature of the beast Forgery in hand, land titles have changed Your subjects have fled and only echoes remain Bow down….to the queen Isn’t she the greatest thing you’ve ever seen The world kneels down at the base of her feet Bow down…..to the queen

Dust The canyons echo with the foot steps of ghosts Walking side by side In the escape we stumbled Covered in the dust Bodies were laid to rest Returning to the dust As we rebuild these walls It’s starting with the dust No time to think Just running through the dust Above our heads, the perspective has changed It all seemed so unreal The sunlight falls with no shadow to cast The steel is bent but the strength remains The resilient children play in the street But there’s no one here to guide them Celluloid idols have given way To the true meaning of a child’s hero In the escape we stumbled Covered in the dust Some that were laid to rest Returning to the dust And as we rebuild these walls It’s starting with the dust Bodies were laid to rest Returning to the dust No time to think, we’ll just roll up our sleeves Tattered, shredded and torn No matter the degree of our tragedy We find our strength like history before us Keeping company with the spirits Of those that were never found Just a normal day that was taken away To this day you can hear the voices The voices Everyday she waits for him To walk on thru the door Looking out the window They wish she was there once more Everyday she waits for him Covered in the dust Everyday she waits for him Covered in the dust
