The March:
Why you push me, I don't know...
Closer to the beast...
He craves his live meat,
Oh - no - please don't make me go.
Silent darkness hides your face,
Your grip is death cold,
"Please release your hold!"
But you don't abate your pace...
You advance me almost in,
My hand scrapes the wall,
To try to stop it all,
But it only tears my skin...
Why you push me, I don't know,
Closer to the beast
He craves his live meat!
Oh - no!
Please don't make me
Please don't make me!
please don't make me
go...
Colossus:
I'm- Free-
I was born of the night and stars,
Too frightful for those who birthed me,
And locked in darkness at the dawn of time,
Forgotten by the cosmos, unknown to man,
The weight of eternity wasting my soul,
Forever raging against my bonds,
And forever denied my freedom.
Until now... I am free... I am Colossus... Messenger- of the End.
(You can not do this!)
You can not stop it
(But it is not fair!)
Do not speak to me of fair!
(It's our right to live!)
There is no such thing!
(But we're not done yet!)
It does not matter!
Nothing that's ever been mattered,
Nothing that you are counts,
Importance is relative,
And soon the universe
Will end.
My hand will reach from the ether,
And crush existence to the void.
My mouth will yawn in twilight,
And swallow all of time.
Do not worry, all is well, and nothing matters anymore.
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's all just-
Done.
Illegitimate Theatre:
Ready boys?
(you know it!)(you betcha!)(yes)(shore thing!)
Okay!
It's a beautiful day, it's a Sunday. (A Sunday)
A day full of flowers and cheer.
Well I'd walk for miles,
To share such a smile with you.
I brought ya the flowers and candy. (Flowers and Candy!)
I brought ya the money too.
I've rented a room,
Now letta me see that flower bloom.
--
Love you, I love you.
Please don't let them take me away.
Love me, you love me.
I won't let them take you away.
You won't let them take me-
I won't let them take you-
Away!
--
I love you,
I'm going to take you away...
From that villain.
You sweet of soul,
Whose heart is whole,
I'm going to take you-
Away.
--
I won't let them take you again!
The Dream:
I'm slipping... into a dream...
I know this place.
Like my own home.
It's all safe here.
I think I'll stay.
Now fly through the mist,
It's a rainbow bliss,
Colored seas flow,
Sweet breezes blow.
A shifting land,
Of hu'ed sand.
A wonderful place,
An infinite space.
Fantastic creatures,
With fanciful features,
Blossoms bloom from sky,
And lights flying by.
Each moment's one of a kind,
In this realm of the mind.
What else could be better,
Than to float like a feather,
And never feel any pain,
Across this endless plane?
But it's not real...
Never return again.
See the shame in escaping pain-
Never return again.
Feel the pall of the coward's howl-
Never return again!
Know the might of the one true light-
And I'll never return again!
A Prayer:
Got nothin' left I guess I'm gonna pray (gonna pray)
Eyes on the sky and this is what I say:
"If I ever needed help I guess it's now...
I said if I ever needed help I NEED it now!
'Cause if I don't I know I know I'm gonna break-
So Help Me-
Please Help Me!
for god's sake..."
But if you can hear the words that I sing...
Then why can't I hear anything?
Monster!:
Ah... Ah... ah...
Demons are plaguing me,
In the ice moonlight.
Dragging myself broken,
Out of hell into this blight.
So slowly I stumble,
On this failed splintered bone.
On the snow soaked in blood,
My flesh butchered and alone.
My soul's out of fire,
My body draws no breath.
I pray you save my life-
From the angel of death!
(Ah--)
Why should we help you?
What should we all do?
Stay away rank sleaze.
And take your disease!
Now we cannot lie-
We want you to die!
You're just a nasty rotten corpse!
You're barely worth a sickly horse.
We just don't want you sucking blood!
But we don't mind you sucking mud.
We never welcome filthy scum-
You're wretched, base, gross, putrid, dumb.
We don't trust your pagan story, (Clearly a lie)
Now you come to us all gory. (Why don't you die)
The entire world is cracking-
It's going to swallow you whole!
The mountains and plains are wracking-
As you plunge down the endless hole.
It is partly that we don't care,
But mostly that you're a nightmare.
We're choking on your vile air-
So we banish you to far despair!
We bid farewell,
For time is nigh,
To burn in hell,
So now you die.
My final hope you've vainly blacked,
And a hatred has been inspired!
Demons, eat my soul and make pact-
And turn my rage into fire!
Make the earth to a sea of flames-
An inferno that touches sky!
A pyre for these sinner's shames,
So that we can, as one now, cry.
Your hatred made me a monster,
So we're damned by the same eclipse.
A wicked darkness that inters
All in pointless apocalypse!
Failure:
Now it's over,
I played the goddamn game,
And I lost everything.
In the hell I've been through.
What is there left to do?
How do I stop the sting?
Who else is there to blame?
When you're a failure?
---
Vomit up my organs-
My blood is bursting out my veins.
I'm choking up my throat-
And coughing up my brains.
Break up my bones, rip up my skin,
Strip out my sinews, muscles, and sin.
My mind is consumed by my bane-
Swirling with thoughts of loss and pain.
I don't have the answer-
and all I know is wrong.
I don't know anything-
and it's all dead and gone.
Cut me up now-
Slash up my face!
Cut me up now
And bloody up this place.
'Cause it makes you wanna die...
When it's always so damn cold.
I don't have any options!
I really only know,
How to give up,
Or make things worse.
So this is how it ends?
I'm just a goddamn loser,
And all that's left,
Is for me die.
Fuck everything!
Damn the world,
crushing my heart!
Just leave me the hell alone!
---
I've played the trapped captive,
I've been held down and drowned.
Oh- but not anymore!
I'm not an idiot,
I've got to believe it!
Somewhere there is a door.
Got to get off the ground,
And find a way to live.
Oh-
The Truth:
Ah-
So I'm left with nothing...
Stripped of my illusion.
I'm going to die,
In this, my confusion.
How do I stop my sorrow?
When it's pointless what I do and say?
If I only see today?
And if won't live 'till tomorrow?
So I'm done! I don't care anymore!
Let it all go and rot to the core!
I'll do what I can and celebrate!
It'll be pain, It'll be great!
So even if my heart does shatter-
I do my best, nothing- else- matters!
yeah, Yeah, Yeah, YEAH!
Ah-
This Could Be You:
I'm going stir crazy, I have to get out.
What tomorrow brings is so full of doubt.
But today's bright and sunny, as you can see,
So I just gotta get outside and shout!
Running through green fields, running free.
You can't catch hold of my ecstasy.
White puffy clouds and warm shining sky,
It's a happy, crazy, amazy, jubilee!
Get all your friends, there's new things to try,
And places to go you just gotta fly.
Not looking forward and not looking back-
Oh this joyful, fun, feeling that gets you so high!
La dah dah DAH dah dah OOoo
La dah dah DAH dah dah OOoo
La dah dah DAH dah dah OOoo (Woo woo woo woo woo woo WOO!)
La dah dah DAH dah dah OOoo (Woo woo woo woo woo woo WOO!)
La dah dah DAH dah dah OOoo (Woo woo woo woo woo woo WOO!)
La dah dah DAH dah dah OOoooo- (Woo woo woo woo woo woo YEAH!)
Nathan's Theme:
Oh...
Goddammit awful people,
Burning souls is awful sweet,
Awesome carnage everywhere,
Melting flesh in the streets.
Acid gushes up from hell,
Eats the cities in a flood.
Use the force, tear their organs,
Make their bodies hemorrhage blood.
Nice roaming hounds of hell,
Looking for a brain to chew.
Kill them all, but not me,
Because I'm better than you.
Goddammit Goddammit Goddammit Goddammit!
Nathan...
(Ah-)
Jazz Hands:
(Instrumental, no lyrics)
A Love Song:
Some people say that love is the best,
That if you have it your blessed,
It fits you like a glove,
But you know what I say?
Fuck Love.
Don't tell me what I want,
You don't know what love is anyway.
Don't tell me what I need,
'Cause I don't care and that's okay.
I thought I was happy-
And maybe I am...
But what I am I missing?
I wish I gave a damn.
I don't need it!
But damn do I want it!
But how do I get it?!
Fuck if I know.
I'm still sick of hearing,
How vital love is.
Fuck no it isn't!
That's just a sack of shit!
But for all you people searching for love,
And to be loved,
Why not me?
Love Me!
As I could love you.
But you know what? No! Fuck it!
And fuck love!
And fuck if I know what I want anymore!
(Yeah, 'cause this is all shit, and fuck this shit and-)
ooaaaaAAH!
(And Fuck couples too!)
The Magic Pantsless Man:
(Incomprehensible)
There- once was a magic man.
He- had no pants.
He- knew just what to do.
He did a trick, he multiplied, now two are there.
Now- there are two pantsless men.
They- knew just what to do.
They- turned themselves into an army.
Then they tried, to take over, the world.
Now- pantsless men have taken over.
They- took the entire world.
NO ONE knew just what to do.
But now the men, punch those with pants, in the crotch.
(That was awful!)
Sometimes...:
Some-
Sometimes you want to go somewhere but-
Someti-
Sometimes you want to go somewhere-
Sometimes you want,
To go somewhere
But you can't,
'Cause your car's on-
fire.
Intoxicating:
Your smile...
Come a little closer, honey...
It's just the way that you are...
It-it's so intoxicating. ('toxicating)
Oh- Let me drink you in now, baby
Oh- I know that we've danced before (danced before)
Oh- You take me to such great heights (higher higher higher ooo)
Mmm, Which makes it so much fun when we fall (fun when we fall)
Babe... why you gotta hurt me so? (You mean like this?)
Well... you know you know what I like (I always did I always-)
Oh... you've taken over my mind (and you're all mine now)
Mmm... I'll do anything you say (baby baby)
Oh- Hold me in your tight embrace (and never let go)
Oh- I need you so much it kills me (don't think it won't)
Oh- I'd do anything to be with you,
Mmm, and die in your arms, arms, arms, arms!
I can't keep control anymore
This time I go all the way (all the way)
I don't care if I die (you never did now did you?)
So let's fall this one last time!
Meet Tartarus Rock:
Summoned from the underworld
We've come leave you deaf
So bow down before
The deities of death
Abandon all hope
Your judgment is at hand
A million watts of rock
Will kill you where you stand
And if you don't like it
Then you can suck my cock
'Cause you can't stop it
'Cause we're Tartarus Rock!
Persephone F.
Wields a deadly axe
And The Cerberus
Has drums he's gonna bash
Deathly Charon Corpse
Is our grim bass player
And killing with just my voice-
I'm Hades Hellrazer!
So despair all mortals
Your souls are forgone
And submit your ears
To the chthonic parthenon
'Til all is lost! ('Til all is lost!)
'Til all is lost! ('Til all is lost!)
'Til all is lost! ('Til all is lost!)
Tartarus Rock!
Tartarus Rock!
Tartarus Rock!
Huh!
Mercy of the Kind Ones:
The monster that devours the masses
The people destroyed by that wrath
They are crying out for justice
They're calling out for a blood bath
A million wounds have been inflicted
And a million wounds will be returned
Now we summon the executioner
Because this trial's been adjourned
Ah-!
Kind ones,
A grave sin has been committed,
A guilty soul walks free on this earth,
And sleeps easily at night.
Kind ones,
This person has wronged us,
And we are powerless to right it.
So we're begging, for your help.
Angry ones-
Right what they have wronged!
Rend their flesh, shatter their bones!
Give them no rest until they've paid for what they've done!
Angry ones!
Do not let them escape your wrath!
Impose the dark justice they deserve!
Rain unending fury on their head!
Angry ones!
Exact Your Vengeance!
The Twelfth Labor:
So I reach my twelfth and true final labor,
My penance for my darkest sin and deepest regret.
I must make you submit, dear Cerberus,
And bring you back to the land of the living.
It won't return my family to life,
Or even ease my suffering,
But it will please the gods.
So Cerberus, you will submit.
Through the grace of Persephone,
And by the strength of my bare hands,
Cerberus,
You will submit.
When was your last real fight?
Now stuck at your post
Fight a solid man
Instead of barking at ghosts
And what did you do
To get bound to this gate?
It must have been grave
To befall such a fate
Don't judge me
A mere mortal unarmed
No one makes that mistake
And continues unharmed
You've got three heads?
I've dealt with more
But I bet if I cut one off
You can't grow back yours
Legend says most monsters
Were birthed by your mother
Then chances are that
I've killed some of your brothers
And if your mother bore
These monsters through vile trysts
Then she must be
The ugliest woman to exist
I'll choke three necks at once
Force three heads to bow
Bite me with your dragon tail
But I've got you now!
Submit!
Submit!
Submit!
My cousin's gonna regret ever asking for you,
Hmph...
Don't worry, I'll bring you back.
The Ballad of Orpheus:
Orpheus, the musician,
Made the forest come to life,
Just to hear his compositions,
And wanted Eurydice for his wife.
"Eurydice, this is no whim,
I love you every way."
And how could she resist him,
When she heard him play?
A secluded cottage by lake,
Blissful days as newlyweds,
Until she was taken by snake,
To the land of the dead.
"I'll go to death's lair
And bring her back to day."
And Charon had to waive his fare,
When he heard him play.
"Be careful, lovesick child,
You're risking Hades' wrath."
But Orpheus, he merely smiled,
And continued on his path.
Cerberus, three headed hellhound,
The bard's flesh he wished to flay,
But the beast let him around,
When he heard him play.
Orpheus begged with Hades:
"Please set my sweet wife free.
The early taken lady,
I wither without Eurydice."
Hades' heart was hard,
In the land of darkest gray,
But light shone in the graveyard,
When he heard him play.
Hades' voice, a deepest black,
Said, "I know what it is to love.
And if you don't look back,
You may both return above."
Orpheus sang a new tune,
As he exited from hell,
But still looked back too soon,
And heard only a faint "farewell."
Euthanasia Fantasia (The Great Thanatos):
Rest now-
Help is here to lift the load,
No need to stubbornly hold,
It's okay, to let go.
Ease now-
To live is to suffer,
Now there's no need to endure,
This pain, will never, recur.
Sleep in the field of poppies,
Rest until the end of time.
The worst part is now finished,
Everything else will be fine.
The torch is reversed,
And the shade hears the lullaby.
Escort endless streams of souls,
As the ocean of butterflies.
Yes I'm the Great Thanatos.
When life becomes chronic,
I give a chthonic,
Tonic dose!
And the last haircut you'll ever need.
I deal in death,
But a bad hand most are agreed.
Bring on the poor and the rich,
I'll drink from their ditch,
You need no coin with me.
Line up the infants and old,
I'll drag them to the cold,
Down where it's too dark to see.
Call on the women and men,
I don't care 'bout first sin,
From this clumsy flesh you'll soon be free.
I'll meet the evil and good,
They've done what they could,
But it all makes no difference to me.
For I am the Great Thanatos!
But for my labor and humor,
Gods and mortals would sooner,
Pluck their eyes than meet with me.
For following Atropos orders,
And doing the job I was born for,
I lack solace and company.
So yes, I'm the great Thanatos,
My days are spent on the ghosts,
And I'm exhausted by the hate and misery.
Fine!
I don't need love!
Fear and hate me,
And save your prayers.
I ignore all pleas.
Your death comes, inevitably!
The gods that just hate me,
Their immortality's untrue,
So I'm gonna to kill one,
'Cause it's time they knew,
That they, should fear me, too!
But that's not true,
I don't hate what I do...
It's a mercy to the living,
For who living lacks suffering?
So drink the Stygian panacea,
'Cause it's the mortals' ambrosia.
A new existence in the depths,
Besides life has no meaning without death!
So pour on your hate,
All that and more I can take.
This crucial labor divine,
Is gladly done for all time!
But I'll still kill a god,
Just to break the immortal facade.
Then take these butterflies...
Under my wing-
'Cause together we sing-
Off to Erebus we go-
For I am the Great Thanatos!
Typhon Arise:
Vain Olympians in their tower,
Make toys of mortals with their power.
Cause careless carnage with petty fights,
Keep their crushed elders caged out of spite.
Gaia sees the damage and dungeon,
Thus she births the last Tartarean son.
Typhon-
Typhon-
Typhon-
Typhon Arise!
Typhon, Typhon, make your mother proud,
Defeat the deathless ones up in the clouds.
Typhon, Typhon, you're the brightest one,
You outshine all Olympians.
Typhon, Typhon, you will take the throne,
And rule the world in a way that I condone.
Do what your mother said-
Do what your mother said!
Typhon-
Typhon-
Typhon-
Typhon Arise!
Stand so tall that your head scrapes the stars, (Though you're walking on the sea floor)
A hundred throat roar sends gods afar. (They know they cannot win this war)
Reach across shores and uproot mountains, (And rain down your earthborn assault)
Flood flame and venom from your fountains. (No god extant can make you halt)
Let our hope be your shining nimbus, (The power lies with you alone)
Last son of Gaia, ascend Olympus! (Last son of Tartarus, claim your throne!)
Typhon-
Typhon-
Typhon-
Typhon Arise!
Dying:
Everyone's afraid to die,
To meet that final end,
But no one lives forever,
So why should we pretend?
So drink the Styx with me,
And let us swear an oath,
That we will die together,
Or at least that's what I hope.
'Cause no one lives forever,
So what's the point in trying?
It comes to everyone,
So let's cut to the dying.
So we write the final chapter,
Close the book for the last time,
The coin's under our tongue,
And we all say goodbye!
'Cause no one lives forever,
So what's the point in trying?
It comes to everyone,
So let's cut to the dying.
'Cause no one lives forever,
So what's the point in trying?
It comes to everyone,
So let's cut to the dying-
