Spit or Swallow

 
The song I sung
Was the song of hate
The lyrics of pain,
Gratuitous violence,
Torture and slow death
I gloried in evil acts
As my basement can attest to
I lost count of the sinners
Round about sixty three
There was beauty and the exquisite
Is the slash of the knife
The flow of the blood and
Oh! The screaming
Amputated limbs spit roasted
Force fed to the amputee
Imagine eating your own leg
These type of events tickled me
You didn't have to be the Christ
For me to crucify you to the floor

Then one day a passing holy man
Passed by on the other side
But then he stopped and turned
He beckoned me sit a while
I sat and listened
He beamed about them beauty of nature
And the wonder of the cosmos
He debunked the theory of evolution
He spoke of forgiveness and love
He spoke of self denial and modesty
He spoke of good works and chastity
He spoke of confession and temperance
He spoke about sin and salvation
He whispered about how much it cost
I looked him in the eye, I was moved
Or at least my bowels were
I told him "You're full of shit!"
As I buried my machete in his fuckin head

The beauty of nature can kiss my ass
The wonder of the cosmos is fuckin boring
From apes we came to apes we return daily
forgiveness is for frightened cowards
Love is a crock of shite; I spit on it
I will deny myself nothing of the fruits of evil
Why be modest when I am fucking awesome
Good works are the pitiful acts of an idiots
Fuck chastity literally right in the ass
I have nothing to confess
Not even being the consummate alcoholic
Sin just a term for a fuckin good time
I find salvation in noisy torture: I get wood
I smelled bull shit the minute he asked for cash
I was in two minds so I split his head open
Now he's got two minds: Ha! that tickled me
Don't swallow what the holy man wants to give you
You will be choked by it
You will be a lost sheep never to be found
and I will fuck you up
