SONG LYRICS & CHORDS (E)

(In which the boyhoods of Dr. Knox and William Hare mold their decrepit destinies) / “...From my earliest childhood I have been a dreamer and a visionary.... I have dwelt ever apart from the visible world. Well did I come to know the presiding dryads of those trees, and often have I watched their wild dances in the struggling beams of a waning moon – but of these things I must not now speak. I will tell only of the lone tomb in the darkest of the hillside thickets....” - H.P Lovecraft, ​The Tomb / Dr. Knox:​ Mem'ry haunts me clearly...

(In which most unwholesome paths are set upon by our protagonists, the future Dr. Knox and young William Hare, to the chagrin of polite society) / “These heads of the profession convert the science of which they are ever chattering, into a mean and sordid trade, and those institutions which were founded in the purest spirit of benevolence and philanthropy, are transformed into warehouses of human wretchedness” - ​The​ ​Lancet ​newspaper​ ​editorial 1829 / “It is disgusting to talk of anatomy as a science, whilst it is cultivated by a means of practices which would disgrace a race of cannibals” - ​The​ ​Lancet newspaper​ ​editorial 1832...

(In which Dr. Knox makes the acquaintance of Misters Burke and Hare, Resurrectionists by trade) / “The bulk of the work was done at night, using wooden shovels... and a “dark lanthorn” - a device commonly used by burglars: designed to shed light where necessary, but not to attract attention... A hole would be dug at the head of the grave, down to the coffin, and hooks or a crow-bar inserted under the lid. The weight of earth on the rest of the lid acted as a counter-weight, so that when pressure was exerted lid invariably snapped across, and the body could be hoisted out of the grave with ropes.” - Ruth Richardson ​Death, Dissection, and the Destitute​ 1987 / “The corporation of corpse-stealers, I am told, support themselves and Families very comfortably, and that no-one should be surprised at the Nature of Such a Society, the late Resurrectionists in St. Saviours, St. Giles's and St. Pancras churchyards, are memorable Instances of this laudable Profession.” Anonymous ​A View of London and Westminster 1728...

(In which Mister Hare, spurred by greed and the lack of ethics of the anatomists, proposes a drastic and loathsome course of action) / “...a wretch who is not worth a farthing while alive, becomes a valuable article when knock'd on the head and carried to an anatomist; and acting on this principle, have clear'd the streets of some of those miserable offcasts of society, whom nobody miss'd because nobody wish'd to see them again” - Sir Walter Scott / “If this horrid traffic in human flesh be not, by some means or other, prevented, the churchyards will not be secure against the shovel of the midnight plunderer, nor the public against the dagger of the midnight assassin.” - Editorial, ​The Lancet ​newspaper 1829...

(In which Burke and Hare master the irredeemable art of procuring the freshest specimens of cadaver by the most nefarious means imaginable) / “'Knowst thou not any, whom corrupting gold / Would tempt unto a close exploit of death?'...

(In which a shocking discovery is made in West Port, Edinburgh, the repellant nature and lurid details of which stun and shock the city to its very core) / “...a most extraordinary circumstance that took place on Friday night, the 31s​ t​ October 1828, in a House in the West Port, Edinburgh, where an old Woman of the name of Campbell is supposed to have been Murdered, and her Body Sold to a Medical Doctor.” - ​Edinburgh​ ​Broadsheet​ 3r​ d​ of November, 1828 / “Up the close and doun the stair...

Hagalaz / -Light the torches / Hagalaz...

Em nome do medo, do medo sem fim / Na ira dos deuses, caímos enfim / A vida cruel, tormenta assim,...

O sangue ainda escorre, o chão ainda vibra / Os corpos tombados lá fora, parece que gritam / A fé não serve de nada...

Over 10 years had passed after / the great conflict between two nations. / The man who won the battle, had set the people free...

I want to kill the president and I don't need a gun / I want to fuck the government, I want to fuck a nun / I want to paint the world in blood and paint the streets in gold...

Is it a sin to miss the Hell, / that you survived with best of friends? / At worst of times, I never got the answer....

Say your prayers, little one, don’t forget, my son, to include everyone / I tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin till the sandman he comes / Sleep with one eye open...

Say your prayers, little one, don’t forget, my son, to include everyone / I tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin till the sandman he comes / Sleep with one eye open...

Razor lights on the path of progress / To gain new insight / Lose control, give in to your senses...

Defile and comply / We will have to take control / Sanguinary wolves...

Somnia cum clamoribus / Linquite corda plena ravoris / Videte pompam horroris...

You will get demonized / All actions have their price / (Choose well and carefully)...

Wander, there's no return / Keep moving on as the paradise burns / Leaving your trace in the sand...

Watch as the world turns around / While your blink your eyes / (Time to awaken)...

In the land of the lost horizon / Where the queen lies dark and cold / When the stars won't shine, then the story's told...

Clouds of insecurity obscure me / Assure me / The mist of desperation...

Uneasy feeling, burning out my eyes / I hope the end is less painful than my life / I stand on trial before the Gods on Judgment Day...

Unshadow thyselves, children. / The reign in flesh begins again! / V empire,...

Mijn hemel bloedt regen / Als straf voor de vaak / We spraken tegen het vuur, het leven...

Lo dejo la guila / Lo cambio por Axilas / Le hizo un video...

El arte de cagar parao / Es un arte milenario / Yo cago parao...

Estamos todos locos / Todos podemos terminar locos...

Existe uma corja que aqui toma conta / E assalta o Brasil de ponta a ponta / Eles parecem não estar nem aí...

Estamos cercados de idiotas / Na musica, política e televisão / Idolatrados como super-heróis...
