I Heart Cthulhu

Posted by Mary Shelley Overdrive |

I Heart Cthulhu
(S. McCorkindale, M. Wood)

I dwell in the empty spaces
From Memphis to Babylon
'Til the stars reclaim their places
And the time of man is gone

Dreams guide the hand of madness
Murder for love and death for life
Your blood for mighty Cthulhu
Immortality awaits at the end of my knife

I am the mad poet of Saarna
Nameless cities and crimson sands
Lost author of dread arcana
Gave my soul to the elders' hand

Dreams guide the hand of madness
Murder for love and death for life
Your blood for mighty Cthulhu
Immortality awaits at the end of my knife

Your blood for mighty Cthulhu
Your blood for mighty Cthulhu
Your blood for mighty Cthulhu
Your blood for mighty Cthulhu

Zombie Apocalypse Blues

Zombie Apocalypse Blues
(S. McCorkindale, H.P. Lovecraft, Miss Jones)

Life eclipsed by shadows
Then the morning comes
The dead come for you so load your fucking guns
(Of your bullets I'd save one)

There is death in the clouds
There is fear in the night
The dead in their shrouds
Hail the sins turning flight

From their graves the dead will crawl
Everything that is will fall

My grief knows no bounds
There's no safety in the light
So glad you're gone
Got to send you home
(To the yard of bone and stone)

A bloody red sun stains the dawn
The dead will rise and claim you all

From their graves the dead will crawl
Everything that is will fall

Tomb of Dracula

Tomb of Dracula
(S. McCorkindale)

Who killed the cheerleader, baby, on Market Street?
Who took the head off of Sgt. Brown while he was walking his beat?
When the bar burned down it killed all inside
When they found Bonnie in the snowdrift,
Of course her mother cried

When it's dark it's time to feel the pain
You'll never be the same inside the Tomb of Dracula

"Eleven Dead!" the paper screamed
The numbers piled up, blood ankle deep
Marcy went missing last night at 10
Kim was found later with empty veins
Another found this morning, a nameless whore
Harold H. Harold says he knows the score

When it's dark it's time to feel the pain
You'll never feel the same inside the Tomb of Dracula

The God in the Bowl

The God in the Bowl
(S. McCorkindale)

Satan loves me,
Yes, I know
For the Bible tells me so
The insect god calls to me from the bowl
Satan loves me
Yes, I know

The sky lights up at night
Storm clouds and semen rain
It calls me once again
Sings the junk inside my veins
The god inside the bowl
It never had a soul
It calls me once again

The open sores and gaping graves
Caught beneath the insect slaves
The god inside the bowl has no concept of a soul
Asleep in sores and gaping graves

The sky lights up at night
Storm clouds and semen rain
It calls me once again
Sings the junk inside my veins
The god inside the bowl
It’s never had a soul
It calls me once again

A delirium of fireflies

Posted by Mary Shelley Overdrive |

Despite all of our efforts

we're even deeper in the sand

The doctors say it's fatal

They'll do all they can



To make us more comfortable

To keep us here, in the scene

But we are more than able

To lie here cold and mean




We circle each other
Like a delirium of fireflies

Lost in all our orbits

It should come as no surprise..




We are never leaving here

At least not alive...

We circle each other like a delirium of fireflies

Birmingham Jail

Posted by Mary Shelley Overdrive |

(Traditional American song; revised lyrics by Mark Wood)

Down in the valley, valley so low
Late in the evening, hear the wind blow
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow
Late in the evening, hear the wind blow.

Write me a letter, send it by mail
Send it in care of Birmingham jail
Birmingham jail, dear, Birmingham jail
Send it in care of Birmingham jail.

Roses love sunshine, violets love dew
Angels in heaven know I love you
Know I love you, dear, know I love you
Angels in heaven, know I love you...

Derelict

Posted by Mary Shelley Overdrive |

(S. McCorkindale)

When I read comic books, the heroes stare back at me
Schizophrenia got me down, this straight jacket fits to a T
A color out of space
A secret from the grave
Food raised in a cage
Fat and happy to the dinner plate

Chorus:
No safety of security
They strike inside your dreams
Write in words I can't read
But I know what they mean

This theater smells of death, a smell you can't forget
Lost, alien, something other, abandoned in a derelict
Strangers in a darkened room
Silver light cuts through the gloom
The god clings to your face, no one can hear you scream in space

Chorus

Full color photonovel tells stories out of school
Puke my guts on the Daily Mail
Black currants play me for a fool
Blood spilled in Dagon's name, Dormammuu say it all the same
A story like no other
Sun rise, set and rape the game

In space no one hears you scream (repeat)
