Lyrics

My curse is alphabetic, dianetic, crucifix
Your curse is post-magnetic, now they suckle from your drip
Their curse is so pathetic, they're the real heretics
Our curse is not kinetic if they couldn't break our grip
Fetid leeches sap their glands of inquisition
They need blinding sustenance
Don't you dare speak that name
Don't you ever speak that name
Break the very tenets that you spit in my face
Now I'm ready to obliterate
So send me all your preachers
And I'll put them all to shame
I'll be the vanguard of their fall, middle of their falter
Bezeled in their rings, yeah, dropping all the stones
This serpent on my doorstep, well, he's got a sweet southern drawl
Lulling so you may invite his venom
Oh, he was knocking
But didn't know
It's coming, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming
Knocking, but didn't know
My mutation was imminent
He couldn't help it, spouting invocations
I said unto him:
Don't you dare speak that name
Don't you ever speak that name
Break the very tenets that you spit in my face
Now I'm ready to obliterate
So send me all your preachers
And I'll put them all to shame
I'll be the vanguard of their fall, middle of their falter
Bezeled in their rings, yeah, dropping all the stones
First, you'll oscillate and then you'll feel the fire
Burn and fornicate while all your words are coming out cancrine
Don't just let him rot this hall
I couldn't do that even if I wanted to
Don't just let him rot this hall
I couldn't do that even if I wanted to be saved
Then you'll all fall in silence
Then you'll all fall
And I will tell you all, as I said to your serpent
Don't you dare speak that name
Don't you ever speak that name
Break the very tenets that you spit in my face
Now I'm ready to obliterate
So send me all your preachers
And I'll put them all to shame
I'll be the vanguard of their fall, middle of their falter
Bezeled in their rings, yeah, dropping all the stones
First you'll oscillate, and then you'll feel the fire
Burn and fornicate, while all your words are coming out cancrine
But didn't know
It's coming, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming
But didn't know
