[Verse 1]
Knock me out
And put a stone on my head
Or throw me on the tracks where the steel can kill me quick
The sound of emergency is stapling a fright upon their ears
I'm feeling surrounded
I'm feeling the slap of a thousand shit-brains
Behold my dark intentions rising from below
[Chorus]
Beauty, disgusting, blood
Fatal wounds of the last emotion
Beauty, disgusting, blood
All will pay the price
Yeah!
[Verse 2]
Now is the time that we separate our realities
Stopping a heart that beats inside the meddling
Correcting moments lost by living in the here and now
You're on the fucking block
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me anyway I can relate now
Before the generation dies
Time keeps moving
Faster and faster
And I can take the full step
Killing the generation
[Chorus]
Beauty, disgusting, blood
Fatal wounds of the last emotion
Beauty, disgusting, blood
All will pay the price
[Verse 3]
Get off the fucking building
I'll send em' sinking into the fires of fate
Every word is like a shotgun shell so
Burn inside my hell
I'll drown before the fucking ship hits the ocean floor and thank god I'm not alive
To see the slack-jawed generation spread its fucking seed
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me anyway I can relate now
Before the generation dies
Time keeps moving
Faster and faster
And I can take the full step
Of killing the generation
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Beauty, disgusting, blood
Fatal wounds of the last emotion
Beauty, disgusting, blood
All will pay the price
[Bridge]
Pouring sludge into the mouth they feed
Oh, they feed and I can't stand the stench of it
I didn't see the first and I sure won't see the last
But something's got to give
Something's got to give
Pouring sludge into the mouth they feed
But oh they feed and I can't stand the stench of it
I didn't see the first and I sure as fuck won't see the last
But it put a smile on my face just to take their breath away
[Outro]
Beauty, disgusting, blood
Beauty, disgusting, blood
Beauty, disgusting, blood
All will pay the price
