THE SCUM BENEATH THE SHIT
The abyss is bottomless
Deep within this blackened heart
The contempt is absolute
When I look in the mirror
I’ve become one with nightmares
Born in mass graves, never clearer
I command respect from the scum
Of the earth raised by pieces of shit
Represent the ones that say fuck you
I am the scum beneath the shit
Now shroud us in night
Within the grim light
Where we reign supreme
As killers and queens
Now shroud us in night
Within the grim light
Where we reign supreme
As thrillers and kings
The darkness is absolute
When you face the light of day
Just spit in the face of their god
Damn the rape of their disgrace
You command respect from the scum
Of the earth raised by pieces of shit
Represent the ones that say fuck you
You are the scum beneath the shit
Now shroud us in night
Within the grim light
Where we reign supreme
As killers and queens
Now shroud us in night
Within the grim light
Where we reign supreme
As thrillers and kings
Live to die and turn to dust
And blow away in the storm
The god of your design
And the devil in the scorn
Don’t give a fuck what they think
Cause I don’t know about you
I would rather suffer
For you than those motherfuckers
We command respect from the scum
Of the earth raised by pieces of shit
Represent the ones that say fuck you
We are the scum beneath the shit
Now shroud us in night
Within the grim light
Where we reign supreme
As killers and queens
Now shroud us in night
Within the grim light
Where we reign supreme
As thrillers and kings

Nice. It really sounds like an incantation, I found my mind repeating the lines.
