Blood Feast - Chopping Block Blues (1989)

Rise
Life meeting life
To create a fetus, an unborn child
Beating heart of an unformed mass
A featureless body. Is it alive or dead?
No control of it's own destiny
Stillborn not even a chance
To taste the fear of life itself
Blue-baby oxygen starved
Transfusion is the only way to live

Born innocent why fight to
Live when you can't win?
Born innocent into a world of pain
Hatred and sin
Born innocent to spoil the soul
Of a newborn child or let it die
Might be the way to be
Born innocent

Newborn baby, seeing the world
Through unblemished sight
Tried to save you, but we only
Prolonged your death
Push
Forced to start
Breathing the sterilized air
Vital force
Commencing with a smack of the ass
Such traumatic beginnings
Of an infant soul so clean
No defense, at the mercy of those
Who do not seem to care
They pup up a facade
For those who need to see

Born innocent
Cries and pleas go unnoticed, unreplied
No one understands, until that babe has died
Maternal love the only hope for the young
Pushed from the womb with
The greatest of force
Departing soul, setting sun
Born innocent into a world of pain
Hatred and sin of pain, hatred, and sin

Newborn baby, seeing the world
Through unblemished sight
Tried to save you

Blood of my blood
Very existence, I've given you
Like soft clay to be formed
By manipulative minds
No book of directions
For what I have to do

Born innocent
Cries and pleas go unnoticed, unreplied
No one understands, until that babe has died
Maternal love the only hope for the young
Pushed from the womb, with the greatest force
Departing soul, setting sun
Born innocent into a world of pain
Hatred and sin of pain, hatred, and sin

Headless body walks idly in despair
In search of life
Accident unfortunate for deceased
Victim of the night
Incision disconnecting the brain
Pattern from the spinal cold
Intelligence drained from the base of the skull

Lingering emotions, sensation last
The void now your future, yet life has just passed
Execution's hooded head Chopping Block Blues
Incriminating evidence
Unbelieving souls of the almost dead
Think of last words that might have been said
Explicit danger mounts, wipe clean the slate
Fall in tumbling motion, the basket awaits

Monstrous steps seem enormous
When at the top
Peering forth keel down to the altar of death
Adrenaline rushes towards the final peak
Disgusting agony
Cold steel slices through your neck

Lingering emotions, sensation last
The void now your future, yet life has just passed
Execution's hooded head Chopping Block Blues
Incriminating evidence
Unbelieving souls of the almost dead
Think of last words that might have been said
Explicit danger mounts, wipe clean the slate
Fall in tumbling motion, the basket awaits

The outstretched necks of many around
Primordial instincts fighting they stay alive
Chained and shackled in dungeons underground
Decapitation is the way that you must die
Pieces of flesh swing loosely in the breeze
Bits of something that once was life
Eyes bulge out
Brains being crushed

Right through your face
Then you will die!
Watching through eyes that know
The feeling of death
The mind shrieks in pain endless period of time
Slump heavily as one's head is
Struck from their body
Life as you know comes abruptly to a halt

Hunger calling, stomach growling
No food around to feast
Haven't eaten for so long
Tastebuds no longer in need
Looking upon mirages
Of piles of infested grain
Bellies bloated beyond their limit
They're only filled with air and pain

The smell of rotting flesh
Fill the air from the dead
Utter madness
Eyes glazed over with
A blank stare, nothing said
Mind destinized

Extinction and sickness
Hovering clouds of stench
The weak ones will vanish
Human jaws taste human flesh

Now they're Dropping Like Flies
One by one
Dropping Like Flies
Dropping Like Flies

Constant moaning and crying
Very hard to think
Only filthy water to consume
Famine pushing you to the brink
No one even helping
UNICEF, what a joke!
Must eat the insects
Fell them crawl up your throat
Excruciating pain
Amputate limbs for food
Convulsing stomach
Drinking blood to quench the thirst

Now they're Dropping Like Flies
One by one
Dropping Like Flies
Dropping Like Flies

Stomach growling, hunger calling
No food around to feast
Haven't eaten for so long
Tastebuds no longer in need
Looking upon mirages
Of piles of infested grain
Bellies bloated beyond their limit
They're only filled with air and pain

Now they're Dropping Like Flies
One by one
Dropping Like Flies

Hitler painted roses
Hitler painted roses
Hitler painted roses and landscapes
Of madness and mystery
And gardens of Horror

The guards are always on duty
Satisfying their lust for torture
With no food and no water
They'll drink their tears till they die

A practicing christian
Overriding passions for the Lord
A member of the body of Christ
Cut off as she prayer
Left alone, with the devil in the house of god

Was she slightly bored when she left
For the rendevouz with the grave
So late at night, why was she mailing
A letter to a friend

I have been chosen to do the disposin'
Hunted, Stalked and Slain
Baptized in blood, ritual sacrifice
Hunted, Stalked and Slain

Enjoying the chase - the easiest prey to hunt
Adrenaline pumping - watching her look over
Her shoulder in fear, stepping into the church
Await the moment for the kill

Arils turns around as she sees
The beginning of the end
Blasphemy at it's peak
As he walks up to start the assault

I have been chosen to do the disposin'
Hunted, Stalked and Slain
Baptized in blood, ritual sacrifice
Hunted, Stalked and Slain

I have no fear as I walk through the valley of death
For I am the meanest motherfucker in the valley

As I walk through the valley of death
This massive extinction that lingers before me
Saturates me with most immense pleasure, like no other
If only I could bring each one of you back and hand your severed heads
To your uselesness personally, unfortunately, that option does not exist

This is history, dust, nothing more than dust
I am your keeper
The one is charge, big fuckin' daddy, in complete control of all things
As I walk, I walk alone, but I have no fear as I walk through the valley of death
For I am the meanest motherfucker in the valley, the only motherfucker
I have no fear
Nothing!

The eventual day
Of your passing will come
Leaving you stiff and lifeless
Just your soul to descend
Resisting deaths' struggle
Making efforts in vain
You know soon your welfare will perish

Perpetual rejection, mortal dissection
You soon will pass - succeeding none
Terminating physically
Promoting eternal suffrage

A vast reduction, life destruction
Deterioration - been overcome
Before you came, now you've come, soon to
Pass, now you're gone

Lifebloods been drained
Only extinction remains
Cancellations of life
Rebirth is denied

Death is now drawing much closer
And soon you will snap from within
No reward for this merit through passing
Meet your end as death sucks you in
The blanket of blackness will soon cover
Cancelling the earth, sun and sky
Life has run out and your cause is no more
Are you ready to die?

Perpetual rejection, mortal dissection
You soon will pass - succeeding none
Terminating physically
Promoting eternal suffrage
A vast reduction, life destruction
Deterioration - been overcome
Before you came, now you've come, soon to
Pass, now you're gone

Lifebloods been drained
Only extinction remains
Cancellations of life
Rebirth is denied

A vast reduction, life destruction
Deterioration, and so it is done

Lunacy embedded deeply
Watching all erratic behaviors
Their distractions overwhelming
Unseeing force, leads the enslaved
Uncontrollable fits, no apparent reasoning
Lingering madness from this ongoing nnightmare
An internal terror of the ancient disease
Their minds imprisoned no freedom perceived
Insanity is everywhere
Hiding amongst the darkened shadows
Enveloping their will with no resistance
Lying dormant only when kept in check
Tangling with the weak and stressed out cretins
Subdubing their malicious thoughts
The driving insurgence holds briefly
Only then, reluctant, sets will free

The chemically imbalanced - for all to see
Enchanted slaves - coming for you
Psychopath scream - relentless tune
How many will die - by these frantic outburst

Hide where you can
No one is to blame
Good riddance to it all
It's nature's mistake

Unavoidably beginning wildly
You try to move with caution
Avoiding with solace a sign of change
Disallow all knowledge of the factual impression
Attempts fall inches from their goal
Ruthless onslaught, enraged hatred
Mad engargement of living souls
Entranced psychopath intently waiting
Enviously obeying orders
Asylums filled to capacity
Overflow chanelled elsewhere
No one perceived the painful march
The death trek lasts for most a month
The chemically imbalanced - on display
Enchanted slaves - coming for you
Apparent disarray - surprising ultimatum
Population explosion - the entire world now cursed

Hide where you can
No one is to blame
Good riddance to it all
It's nature's mistake, mistake, mistake

The army of demise has risen
Troops of hate to erase life
It has been a long time coming
Too blind to care - no questions why
Nothing sacred hidden safely
Unearthly strength, this infernal force

Manifest apocalypse
The process now will take it's course
The time has come - the ends begun
Seers of doom have been unleashed
The bells have toiled - the gods will fall
Our own misuse now leaves us this

Turn to dust - the testaments of new and old
Turn to dust - the healing dreams
We've bought and sold
Turn to dust - the loving hands we used to hold
Soon to dust

Masses of are blind are running
From the prophet they once did seek
Was it all just fantasy
Overshadowing the weak
Existence run the final course
All finally getting the fear
Now suspecting of this holocaust
Judgment day finally here

There's no escape - can't kill themselves
Ancient faith no longer good
The damned decide and no one else
Extermination understood

Turn to dust - the honest minds
We chose the rape
Turn to dust - men with power
Forever on the take
Turn to dust - the dream we had, it hurt to break
Kiss the dust

All was not meant to last forever
Man was a fool to even try
Having overslayed our welcome
The times draws near - now we must die
Until the end blind to the truth
Salvation bought at any cost
To the victor now must go the spoils
What does remain when all is lost?

The proof now real
Life was a game
But who has won
Ashes now only remain

Turn to dust - the holy land of war, not peace
Turn to dust - those who chose
To tempt the beast
Turn to dust - this hell from
Which we've been released
Turn to dust
