Track 4 from Universvm Gloria

lyrics

The drunken boat sails the endless night
Around in circles with no safe harbor in sight
Another monkey with a pen begins to write
Televisions emit a light
To entertain us with a circus of death
And hold our tongues as we hold our breath
And hold our eyes so we can see the light

And the light reveals a smile
On the skull of every human child

And through this faith we can accept our fate
We know where to go, and when to go, and when to wait
We get our signals from the flashing light

And the light reveals a smile
On the skull of every human child
Let’s put them all into a pile
And build a pyramid to the one true god

So many choices, yes it’s true
But all these choices have been chosen for you
Anything that you can think to do
The television has told you to
We’re not trying to get in the way
Of these American “happy days”
But these days are numbered by the beast
So whistle while you work and enjoy the feast

A cornucopia of bile
A modern love that’s pronounced “sieg heil”
Bodies burn, but burn with style
We’re pimping hip now for the one true god

Upon roads paved with bones
We walk down future fallout zones
Blind to their true design that’s
Been in the making for a while
From D.C. back to the Nile
And there will never be a trial
For the followers of the one true god

And so we line up single-file
To make love to the necrophile
On every skull there is a smile.
