Epic Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Can you feel it, see it, hear it today?
If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway
You will never understand it, 'cause it happens too fast
And it feels so good, it's like walking on glass
It's so cool, it's so hip, it's alright
It's so groovy, it's outta sight
You can touch it, smell it, taste it, so sweet
But it makes no difference 'cause it knocks you off your feet
[Chorus]
You want it all, but you can't have it (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
It's cryin', bleedin', lyin' on the floor
So you lay down on it and you do it some more
You've got to share it, so you dare it
Then you bare it and you tear it
[Chorus]
You want it all, but you can't have it (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's in your face, but you can't grab it (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 3]
It's alive, afraid, a lie, a sin
It's magic, it's tragic, it's a loss, it's a win
It's dark, it's moist, it's a bitter pain
It's sad it happened, and it's a shame
[Chorus]
You want it all, but you can't have it (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's in your face, but you can't grab it (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Bridge]
What is it? It's it
What is it? It's it
What is it? It's it
What is it? It's it
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
What is it? It's it
What is it? It's it
What is it? It's it
What is it?
[Chorus]
You want it all, but you can't have it (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's in your face, but you can't grab it (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Outro]
It's it! What is it?
It's it! What is it?
It's it! What is it?
It's it! (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's it! What is it?
It's it! What is it?
It's it! What is it?
It's it! (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's it! What is it?
It's it! What is it?
It's it! (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's it! What is it?
It's it! What is it?
It's it! What is it?
It's it! What is it?
It's it! (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's it! What is it?
It's it!
Surprise! You’re Dead! Lyrics
[Hook 1]
Surprise! You're dead!
Ha ha! Open your eyes
[Verse 1]
See the world as it used to be when you used to be in it
When you were alive and when you were in love
And when I took it from you!
[Chorus]
It's not over yet
You don't remember? I won't let you forget
The hatred I bestowed
Upon your neck with a fatal blow
From my teeth and my tongue
I've drank and swallowed, but it's just begun
Now you are mine
I'll keep killing you until the end of time
[Hook 2]
Surprise! You're dead!
Guess what? It never ends
[Verse 2]
The pain, the torment and torture, profanity
Nausea, suffering, perversion, calamity
You can't get away
[Chorus]
It's not over yet
You don't remember? I won't let you forget
The hatred I bestowed
Upon your neck with a fatal blow
From my teeth and my tongue
I've drank and swallowed, but it's just begun
Now you are mine
I'll keep killing you until the end of time
[Instrumental Break]
[Hook 1]
Surprise! You're dead!
Ahahahaha! Open your eyes!
[Hook 2]
Surprise! You're dead!
Guess what? It never ends
[Outro]
Never ever
Ends
Zombie Eaters Lyrics
[Intro]
You're everything, that's why I cling to you
When I emerge my thoughts converge to you
To you
The world is so small compared to you
And everybody's wrong compared to you
To you
[Bridge]
I begin to see through your eyes
All the former mysteries are no surprise
[Hook]
So now, you listen
'Cause I'm omniscient
[Verse 1]
Hey, look at me, lady
I'm just a little baby
You're lucky to have me
I'm cute and sweet as candy
As charming as a fable
I'm innocent and disabled
So hug me and kiss me
Then wipe my butt and piss me
[Chorus 1]
I hope you never leave
'Cause who would hear me scream?
Nobody understands
Except the toys in my hands
[Hook]
So now, you listen
'Cause I'm omniscient
[Verse 2]
Hey, look at me, lady
I'm just a little baby
If I smile, then you smile
Then I'll get mad for a while
I melt in your mouth and
In your hands whenever I can
But I really do nothing
Except kickin' and fussin'
[Chorus 2]
I like to make a mess
I laugh at your distress
I sit all day in my crib
Absorbin' all you give
[Bridge 1]
I'm helpless
I'm flawless
I'm a machine
Give me
I need my toys, wow!
[Bridge 2]
Keep me hot, keep me strong
Keep me ever, ever long
Keep me hot, keep me strong
Keep me ever, ever long
Keep me hot, keep me strong
Keep me ever, ever long
Keep me hot, keep me strong
Keep me ever, ever long
[Hook]
So now, you listen
'Cause I'm omniscient
The Real Thing Lyrics
[Refrain]
I know the feeling, it is the real thing
The essence of the truth
The perfect moment, that golden moment
I know you feel it too
I know the feeling, it is the real thing
You can't refuse the embrace, no
[Verse 1]
It's like the pattern below the skin
You gotta reach in and pull it all in
And you feel like you're too close
But you swallow another dose
The pinnacle of happiness
A-fillin' up your soul
You don't think you can take any more
You never wanna let go
To touch the roots of experience
The most basic ingredients
To see the unseen glitter of life
And feel the dirt, grief, anger and strife
Cherish the certainty of now
It kills you a bit at a time
Cradle the inspiration
It will leave you writhin' on the floor
[Bridge 1]
This is so unreal, what I feel
This nourishment, life is bent
Into a shape I can hold
A twist of fate, all my own
Just grit your teeth and make no sound
Take a step away and look around
Just clench your fist and close your eyes
Look deep inside, hypnotize
The whisper is but a shout
That's what it is all about
Yes, the ecstasy, you can pray
You will never let it slip away
[Chorus 1]
Like the sacred song that someone sings through you
Through you
Like the flesh so warm that the thorn sticks into
Into
Like the dream you know one day will come to life
Life
Try to hold on just a little longer, longer
Stronger, stronger
[Verse 2]
It's the jewel of victory
The chasm of misery
And once you have bitten the core
You will always know the flavor
The split second of divinity
You drink up the sky
All of heaven is in your arms
You know the reason why
Well, it's right there, all by itself
And what you are, there is nothing else
You're growin' a life within a life
The lips of wonder kiss you inside
And when it's over, the feelin' remains
It all comes down to this
The smoke clears, I see what it is
That made me feel this way
[Refrain]
I know the feeling, it is the real thing
The essence of the truth
The perfect moment, that golden moment
I know you feel it too
I know the feeling, it is the real thing
You can't refuse the embrace
[Bridge 2]
This is so unreal, what I feel
Flood, sell your soul, feel the blood
Pump through your veins, can't explain
The element that's everything
Just clench your fist and close your eyes
Look deep inside, hypnotize
Yes, the ecstasy, you can pray
You will never let it slip away
Yes, the ecstasy, you can pray
You will never let it slip away
You will never let it slip away
You will never let it slip away
[Chorus 2]
Like the echoes of your childhood laughter
Ever after
Like the first-time love urged you to take its guidance
In silence
Like your heartbeat when you realize you're dying
But you're trying
Like the way you cry for a happy ending
Ending
[Outro]
Ending, ending
Ending, ending
I know...
War Pigs Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields, the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh, Lord, yeah
[Bridge]
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that all to the poor, yeah
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgment day comes, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Now, in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where their bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of Judgment, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh, Lord, yeah
Go!
[Instrumental Outro: Luke's Wall]
