THE ACCÜSED LYRICS

1. Halo Of Flies (The Deadly Blessing)

I'm gonna' tell you a story, a tale of how it was
In the fogs of the afterlife where dense wretched
souls pounded upon my head
I gained the warm blood needed to walk among life
This massive evil had a gravity
It was like a cold undertow that chilled my flesh

Dead souls beneath old forgotten graves stare out
They are disturbed envious of the new life I bestow
I am far from their fingers without flesh and bone
I escaped from that accursed box from beneath the ground

I have returned from the dead
And there is nothing I cannot do
I bare a halo of flies around my head
You tremble and run scared you fools

Engrasped in my hands are the flowers of death
Take them and let flowers' evil seed infest
A song of death is the song I shall sing
A halo of flies is my deadly blessing

I have returned from the dead
And there is nothing I cannot do
I bare a halo of flies around my head
You tremble and run scared you fools

2. W.C.A.L.T. (We Can All Live Together)

Sometimes at night I stop and think
Is this life really as bad as I make it seem
Is our government corrupt are our lives fucked
Or do we pray for the day when they blow us all away

The world it isn't run by one political team
The space is shared with others easier than it seems
Compassion for man/woman kind isn't hard to find
If you look inside where it likes to hide

We can all live together
We can all live together

3. Rape (Not A Love Song)

[Policeman:]
I tell you, captain, it don’t make sense!
We picked her up walkin’ down the street
sayin’ the same thing over and over again!
She’s as crazy as they come, I tell you!
Listen to her yourself!

[The girl:]
Revenge, revenge, revenge...

[Policeman:]
Re-venge! Re-venge! Re-venge!
Yeah, listen to her, captain
Over and over again!
Such a young and pretty girl!
What could have driven out of her mind like that?
Well, I ask ye?

[Excerpt from the show “Murder Castle”, from the “Lights Out” radio series, 1938]

Your twisted views on sexuality
That's not the way it's supposed to be
You say she brought it upon herself
That's a cruel joke played on womankind
Tied her down you had your way
You're fucking sick man
They should do more than just put you away
Castration that's the price you should pay

Rape a most brutal crime
It's an invasion torments her mind
It leaves a dark vision in the back of her head
Betrayal she's scared for life

The system deals justice
Probation and a slap on the hand
Now you're back on the streets
It's a vicious cycle you'll do it again
Rape a most brutal crime
It's an invasion torments her mind
It leaves a dark vision in the back of her head
Betrayal she's scared for life

4. Life-Less Zone

Lifeless zone!

The reactor’s heat churns the turbine’s scream
Spitting steamed death down into dawn’s early air
The soil has gone black trees have no leaves
Disregard for the land man’s perfect disease

We’re plunging nature into the void
Seeping toxic waste to this we seem blind
Every inch of soil, every drop of the pond
It’s an open casket funeral whose mourners never came

Lifeless zone!

Nuclear dumping ground half-life eternity
Once there was a community hand in hand unity
A mother playing with her child, no children are playing
One stranger stands alone in this lifeless zone

We’re plunging nature into the void
Seeping toxic waste to this we seem blind
Every inch of soil, every drop of the pond
It’s an open casket funeral whose mourners never come

Lifeless zone!
Lifeless zone!
Lifeless zone!
Lifeless zone!

5. Scotty

He was five years young
When his parents split
His father gave him love
Scotty was beat to shit
Daddy fooled him daily saying
“Love comes with the pain”
He thrashed him with a belt
His daddy whipped his tender skin

It’s no wonder we’re mad
It’s no wonder we’re cold
It’s no wonder we’re mad
It’s no wonder we’re cold

Locked in a closet
He was starved in the dark
Scotty won’t be out to play
He died yesterday
Another missing child
The child is forgotten
Scotty lies buried
In a shallow grave in his backyard

It’s no wonder we’re mad
It’s no wonder we’re cold

6. Devil Woman

[originally by Cliff Richard]

“A hundred and 17 year old I be today.
Yes sir, a hundred and 17 year old.
Well Satan, this here nice night for one of our cheerful little bedtime stories, yes?
Our Satan’s got a yarn to fit just such a night as this.
Satan, tell everyone to douse their lights.”

[Opening narration taken from “The Witch’s Tale” radio horror series]

I’ve had nothing but bad luck
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came here to you, sweet lady
Answering your mystical call

Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
The same cat with them evil eyes
And I knew it was a spell she’d cast

She’s just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She’s gonna get you
She’s just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She’s gonna get you...

Give me the ring on your finger
Let me see the lines of your hand
I can see me a tall dark stranger
Giving you what you hadn’t planned

I drank the potion she offered me
I found myself on the floor
Then I looked in those big green eyes
And I wondered what the fuck I came there for

She’s just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She’s gonna get you
She’s just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She’s gonna get you from behind

If you’re out on a moonlit night
Be careful of the neighborhood strays
Of a lady with long black hair
Tryin’ to win you with her feminine ways

Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
The same cat with them evil eyes
You’d better get out of there fast

She’s just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She’s gonna get you
She’s just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She’s gonna get you from behind

Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
The same cat with them evil eyes
You’d better get out of there fast

She’s just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She’s gonna get you
She’s just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She’s gonna get you
She’s just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She’s gonna get you from behind

7. Bethany Home (A Place To Die)

The harsh winter air hangs
Stagnant dark and it’s cold
I stare into the glass pane
See my reflection I’m growing old

Across street thirty-three
She stands up braving time
Built of bricks so long ago
And souls now left to die

This is not a home
It’s just a place to die
The elderly are forgotten
Never, never, never knowing why

Men and women are aged
Their memories are antique
I’d give my life away
To hear stories from the century

Another paramedic van
With sirens light and noise
Another stretcher sheet pulled up tight
My own mortality is feared

8. Mechanized Death (I Love To Drive)

Mechanized death!

My gauges don’t work, it doesn’t matter to me
Flying down the road doing a hundred and three (mph)
Weaving from lane to lane going faster and faster
Don’t fuck with me, I’m a four-wheeled disaster

Mechanized death
Mechanized death
Mechanized death
Mechanized death!

Smashing your skull like a pumpkin under wheels
Your knees snapped in half crushed by screaming steel
I love to drive to see others die
Under my wheels, you know how it feels

Mechanized death
Mechanized death
Mechanized death
Mechanized death!

I’m looking for a target
To ram and destroy
Something living and breathing
A dog or a small boy

Mechanized!

9. S.H.C.

[Instrumental]

10. Judgement Day

Is your mind so filled with primitive beliefs
That they make you so weak that you cannot think?
And are you so misled to think that God is dead
Doesn’t he exist within your head?

Christ was a man a human being
Who taught us that love is a beautiful thing
Can you judge a man and be so cruel?
You won’t let him live by his golden rule

Then along came those with their gainful schemes
They tried their best just to end our dreams
Installing fear with their book of rules
Brainwashed our youths in their Bible schools

Dreamed up a world ruled by Satan
Divided the world into warring nations
We’ll see who prays when it’s time to pay
For their sins comes a Judgment Day

When someone has to tell you right from wrong
To make you feel like you don’t belong
In a world where freedom doesn’t exist
You’re forced to live by their book of lists

Where the new fundamentalists try to run our lives
Filling us up with their religious lies
Don’t let them make your fucking decisions
Tell them that love is your only religion

11. Take No Prisoners (No One Left Alive)

Take no prisoners
Take no prisoners
Take no prisoners
Take no prisoners

No one left alive!

Seven men on horseback ride
Lay to rest the virgin countryside
Battle rages on through the dead of night
Brainwashed what’s wrong or right

Take no prisoners
Take no prisoners
Take no prisoners
Take no prisoners

Genocide!

Tonight another village is laid to waste
Your flesh and blood they’ve come to taste
Survival at any cost
For your people all time is lost

Take no prisoners
Take no prisoners
(Tonight they ride)
Take no prisoners
Take no prisoners
(No one left alive)

Genocide!

12. Splatter Rock

At night as you lay awake
Awake in your bed
And your eyes they will not shut
There’s a pounding in your head that won’t stop, no

You toss and turn beneath the sheets
But something’s not right
Outside your window something lurks
You’re not really sure what it is, tonight

A dark unknown force
Deep within the confines of man
Calls try not and listen to
The sickening screams of 1,000 souls crying out

In the night
Something evil has taken you away
To a place where your reality is a dream
An untouchable fantasy

Until one night’s resurrection
Unleashes the black horrid beast
To conquer those untouched by
The force of Splatter Rock

13. Septi-Child

An entropy birth of evil means
The mother’s womb beckons emptiness
Release the fluid so unholy and warm
Forgive herself as murderer one

Septi-child
In the sewer
Septi-child
In the sewer

The being now dormant in a septic domain
His prodigal mind breeds vengeance and hate
The being now dormant in a septic domain
His prodigal mind breeds vengeance and hate

Septi-child
In the sewer
Septi-child
In the sewer

An entropy birth of evil means
The mother’s womb beckons emptiness
Release the fluid so unholy and warm
Forgive herself as murderer one

Septi-child
In the sewer
Septi-child
In the sewer

14. I'll Be Glad When You're Dead
