Lyrics
Then you come out of the blue But we are going down with a big grin on our lips
To help me turn the tide And with a swinging of our hips
I didn’t even call you to We’re facing death
Replace my shame with pride And we will perish with our veins full of champagne
And our money’s set aflame
This life sucks With our last laugh
Till you bleed
This life sucks We need to fear, there is no doubt
But don’t you bleed for me The harvest of our end-time seed
This life sucks Our bible’s revelation tale
Don’t you see? Is read and closed and all is lost
This life sucks
Why don’t you fucking leave? So we are going down in outrageous luxury
With no judge and no jury
Too much time on end Sentenced to death
There’s nothing we could do And we will plunge in our big black limousines
Now that I‘ve got a friend And both priests and libertines
I wish it wasn’t you Will face god’s wrath
Then you walk out of my room So we went down with defiant fists
And say you‘ve gotta leave And chants of pride
You’re not my bride, I’m not your groom On our trip to the other side
The best we could achieve We’re greeting death
And we have perished with our stomachs
This life sucks Full of steaks
Till you bleed And a cosmic burp that makes
This life sucks Our final breath
But don’t you bleed for me
This life sucks But we are going down with a big grin on our lips
Don’t you see? And with a swinging of our hips
This life sucks We’re facing death
Why don’t you fucking leave? And we will perish with our veins full of champagne
And our money’s set aflame
With our last laugh

Lyrics
On the chase
Broken boned, cramped in his trunk
I found me
I’m tied up and piled with junk
No one to bind and ground me
A piece of cloth stuffed in my mouth
My friend’s the voice inside my head
Suffocates my desperate shouts
Seems he’s driving out of town
Driving trapped on the overtaking lane
Heading for my last sundown
Passing everyone
Trying in vain to break the lid
No time to wipe and clean the windowpane
The pain’s growing with every hit
Blindly moving on
He brakes hard, now he pulls me out
I’m pounding hard on the dirty ground
Body’s sore, but I won’t stop
Give him hell to my blood’s last drop

Lyrics
I shall not see the sun again Pound my fists against the wall
Repeat! Repeat! Repeat!
A crowd of lonesome roamers
In the gallery of sin So I keep getting smaller every day
Are gazing at the portraits
Of their long lost kith and kin I’ve become so sad and done
That what you call a worthy life
I feel I’m out to lead them Just makes me feel so dead and gone
I am their true born king Drained of all my strife
The emperor of lies and hate
On my throne of thorns I sing
Retribution’s what I crave
I’ll nevermore let you defile
We shall not see the sun again
That which is me and what will save
Me from your knowing smile
Heed and serve my grieving
We shall not see the sun again One last punch will put it out
Just one more time, just once!
