Set against death
Mere thought is as nothing
Its meaning extinguished
By fear of extinction.
As nothing
As nothing

- B Ward
Discord in b-ward a cliche never bored
Discord in b-ward siggy siggy siggy fraud?
Discord in b-ward a goal that's never scored
Discord in b-ward excreaciating smell hell!
Discord in b-ward just trust in your lord
Discord in b-ward eaten not gnawed
Discord in b-ward good deeds fast flawed
- Better Not Born
It seemed like a damn futile business to keep on
living. No more tutors - high school next
September which would probably be a devilish bore,
since one couldn't be as free and easy as one had
been during brief snatches at the neighbourly
Slater Avenue school...Oh hell! Why not slough off
consciousness altogether?...The whole life of man
was a mere cosmic second -so I couldn't be missing

- Black President
Peanut farmer, b-movie actor
Awakening coughs
Desires for powers
Prime the ministers
Watch them go off
You have to be hardy to rest on your laurels
You have to be hardy, but I'm so intense
- Blasphemy Squad
blasphemy squad, thriving on hate,
in the warfare state, like piss in a pod.
never forget, never ever forgive,
wash your mouth out with pope.
death love god squad + the babies of christ,
pin you all down, in their burial mound.
- Blind Dogs
The unseeing eyes of the blinded pupils
Unseeing guidance, the lead of the blind dogs
Token gestures from life-long investors
Questions only for those who question
A vicious circle of passive acceptance
Passive acceptance of a vicious circle
- Blissful Myth
It's Escapist shit of a feeble kind
a fucked up institution for fucked up minds
Holy Matrimony is a Blissful Myth
Wholly based on tradition, wholly based on bullshit
think you love each other, think youre so in touch
but its the shit institution you love so much
- Bloody Jellies
There will be no coffins
When you and I die
No consecrated ground
A sin to end all sins
And angels with scorched wings
And if the thought of this stings
Sorry god there's no coffins
Just bloody jellies
- Brown Jenkin
what!
shall th' aspiring blood of lancaster
sink in the ground
i thought it would have mounted!
see how my sword weeps for the poor king's death.
o, may such purple tears be always shed
from those that wish the downfall of our house!
if any spark of life be yet remaining,
- Bubble
You have a bubble of hope you live inside,
you're surrounded by tokens and symbols of hope.
It's your choice O.K., but I won't follow,
smug in your bubble of hope.

- Cosmetic Plague
Being honest is no means of survival,
avoid your inner-feelings like the plague,
This is what it takes to comply
with the images this structure will accomodate,
But things aren't what they seem
when they're partially hidden
behind walls of pretence built for peace of mind.
The barriers between us are forever maintained
- Crazed Couplet
that is not dead which can eternal lie,
and with strange aeons even death may die,
dead death,
dead death,
death dead!
death dead!
the sweet rememberance of the just shall flourish
- Crazy Chain
Crazy crazy chain we're strung up again
Umbilical cord around the neck and pain is sane
Crazy crazy chain gagged & bound inane
Crazy crazy chain label underachieve & plain
Black statue looms in doomsday rooms rap
Fetish worship motivation life-span trap
- Defined By Age
The gap between young and old
Exists because it's what we're told
The older generation or the youth of today
Views and actions defined by age
Defined by age - Defined by age
The complacency of middle age
False dignity, moral outrage
- Dream City
The weedy old spires like veins in marble
The old gold domes were just ancestral homes
The citadels of yore with broken bronze
bells and tottering towers
Shadowy staircases
Spiraling like ammonites
The sartorial shabbiness of Dunsany
denies him a place at the occult coronation
- Dutchmen
1902 inside a British concentration camp-
where 20,000 Dutchmen, including children die.
Do you feel any pity for these murdered men + women
who died at the hand of the British Empire.
Victims they may have been-
But innocent they were not,
they were murderers just the same-
- Farce
She is such a pretty girl,
Her shape fits well into a mould.
Her mind removed, her body's sold,
She does exactly what she's told.
And he is such a brave young man,
If his brain can't then violence can.
His mind was drained since life began
Of the compassion he once had.
- Gentlemen Prefer Blood
Gentlemen prefer blood in this day and age, well really
Cleave you foe from head to hip,
from flesh plucked skull begin to sip
Besemened bed of virus hell,
Dad is dead, Mom's mad as well
Michael Nyman met a pieman
White note music twaddle twaddle
- Happy Farm
as you walk out of the valium of death,
a sad feeling limps around your brain,
funny farmers sowing seeds of discontent,
pumping nerve gas around unfeeling veins,
war junkies perish in the wreckage, of their brains,
mindward earthlings seek to change our path,
stench crawling over the snow,

- Him Hymn
For fifty-four years he worked hard
On five foul factory flaws
Boredom ranking low on his list of fears
Though they say his tears they cried dry tears
He's no teenager
He's a real neat rager
- Imps of the Perverse
Howard Phillips Lovecraft, heaven knows,
had a talent for writing which was of no means proportion:
only what he did with this talent was a shame,
and a caution and an eldritch horror.
If he'd only gotten the hell out of his aunties' attic
and obtained a job with the federal writer's project of the WPA,
he could have turned out guidebooks
that would have been classics and joys to read forever.
- Inside
no longer want to listen to your insane lies,
or call for the blood of those who've died,
or lust for the tears of another to be cried,
no longer want to suffer this pain inside.
no longer feel the need to crush all in sight,
or play any part in a cruel + bitter fight,
to maintain a blood stained curse of pride,
- Love Is Not
love is not your parents lies,
it's a myth that they create,
true expression you're denied,
in their "love" it has no place,
love is not your parents lies,
do they really care for you?
why then must they hide behind,
duty + guilt that smothers you.
- Lovecraft Baby
Lovecraft Sonia Haft Lovecraft Susie Lovecraft H. Poe
Lovecraft Winfield Kill em all and bear
Lovecraft's baby Feed it reg'lar how it grows
Everyone wants to kill someone, but they don't
Everyone wants to but they don't
Too many braincells Drowning in inkwells
OK, HPL just cos I don't talk proper
Chronic bucolic Lovecraft baby,
- Media Person
Green to feel blue?
Is your vision purely golden?
Is your humour black or olden?

Dawn breaks but it isn't a new day
Men like sheep, women like mice
All caught in the rat race
Take a closer look at what's going on today
Are you really justified in having nothing to say?
Are you really justified in having nothing to say?
Are you not aware of a feeling of humiliation?
Don't you have to sell yourself and keep on saying "Sir"
- Nightgaunts
hairy flesh impinges from all directions,
somnambulistic ramble around the room huddle in a corner,
giant pink fleshly worm wolf's head round the door,
dark petalled sensitive plants scuttle over carpets,
black statuettes animate square heads firestokers,
skewer me in flame, paradise lost dore aient no rowboat,
nightgaunt nightgaunt,
hellish barb bifid,
- Nothing But A Nightmare
what's the point of living in your mindless life?
what's the point of living in your mindless life?
what's the point of dying in your mindless death?
what's the point of living in your lifeless mind?
have you ever even had the thought of thinking?
or is it you're just ignorant + ignorant?
have you ever even had the thought of thinking?
pathetic fool trapped inside your skull.
- Only Human
Hey you! Yeah you!
You're the only human eveyone's an alien
Save you, save you
We're malevolent malignant tumours sucking on your body
Preying on your mind never mind, never mind
Preying on your mind never mind, never mind
Dissecting your soul, spirit being or whatever
- Pig In A Blanket
i tell you about the animals
how they suffer how they die,
you try to hide guilty doubt
from me with an appeasing smile,
you never want responsibility
for this murderous cruelty,
the wasteful piles of blood-soaked bodies
you won't let your conscience see.

- Sacrifice
God is nothing more than an obsessive lie.
While sunday school children are brainwashed into the line,
And presented with as truth what's really just a lie,
Another childs' self-belief is sacrificed.
In the eyes of the lord, men are his servants,
In the eyes of the lord, women are mens' servants,
In the eyes of the lord, we're authority's servants,

this shard will surely reach someone,

Let's find someone we can blame it all on
Someone so stupid they can't see
Pull out each hair one by one
By three sick old frail worm, claustraphobia
Suck suck suck, suck the puss holes dry
Hate noise, hate you, agrophobia
Punch kapow now, how bang down the door
Mediocre idiocy, harlequin acting girl
- Teenage Time Killer
Teenage time killer,
When it gets old it can wish it was young
Teenage time killer,
Skull of James Dean haunts the dream of the teen
Teenage time killer,
Youth of nausea, youthanasia
Teenage time killer,
- The Cloud Song
The Black Cloud gathers smothers my Brain
As i cry another tear in this struggle of Pain
Another hurdle to clear is it all the same
Is the conquest of pain my only Aim?
The Pain has got to Stop, it's eating into me,
My apathy upholds this misery,
this hatred for myself will Destroy me

hello and welcome to inconclusive arguments
in today's conference we have a psychologist,
a guru, an athlete, a freak, a scientist,
a dictator, an anarchist, a mass murderer,
a composer, a human vegetable, and a complete outsider.
let's open the discussion with you,
er huh what gives?
that look of revelation on the athelete's face
- The Horrors in the Museum
A muse musing in a museum.
What's the use of looking if you don't see 'em?
Always just that bit behind glass,

Fondling the master's skull,

it's such a shame the pope with no name

closure confusion it's so sad,
delusions of grandeur she must be mad

i shall awake old mitre man mitre man

- Tower Of Strength
Tower of strength takes to the sea
Scours ocean via quay
Same old story muscle bound and gorey
Brand new story death without glory
Infinite story so new, so hoary
Build a tower of strength and watch it weaken
Construct high hopes as the brightest beacon
Watch the seagulls eat the trash
- Unchanged
Sealed within thought
Thwarted and flawed
The fantasy.

I mind as 'ow the night afore that show
Us five got talking, - we was in the know,
"Over the top to-morrer; boys, we're for it,
First wave we are, first ruddy wave; that's tore it."
"Ah well," says Jimmy, - an' 'e's seen some scrappin' -
"There ain't more nor five things as can 'appen;
Ye get knocked out; else wounded - bad or cushy;
Scuppered; or nowt except yer feeling mushy."
- Zenophobia
We are gathered here today to pour scorn
on inhumanity's weaknesses and foibles
A fear of cellars, crypts, and caves
Underground hollow
evacuated lecture theatre
Shadow strewn interior
Abandoned gas house
Topomaniac genophobia
- Zero Again
The end of the line where zero's the sign
A hole in the mind, deaf, dumb and blind
Nothing to cry not even an eye
Zero again the end of no end
A vacant space lacks a familiar face
An unknown face finds a vacant space
The memory killed by a hole soon filled
