about

"All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination and poetry." - Edgar Allen Poe

lyrics

The smile of a woman who dines on man
Older than the following eyes; you can’t see her hands
Or the rocks that surround her, or the hand of the imp up her skirt
Mona Lisa Vampire


Lay down hay for the jesters
Build the mob an altar, give them rocks to throw
Arbeit macht frei – pleasure chains us
Let’s build a bypass over this shithole
Just like my nothing, my art and my blood
My false icons belong to me
Cocaine cholera, poor man’s Pepsi
Mine and mine alone
They’re mine and mine alone
Mine and mine alone


Given up on Jesus, never really tried
“Kneel and drink the blood of the child you crucified”
Wear him round your neck, like a coke-tin noose
You Mona Lisa Vampire


Lay down hay for the jesters
Build the mob an altar, give them rocks to throw
Arbeit macht frei – pleasure chains us
Let’s build a bypass over this shithole
Just like my nothing, my art and my blood
My false icons belong to me
Cocaine cholera, poor man’s Pepsi
Mine and mine alone
They’re mine and mine alone
Mine and mine alone
