“The Uberklaw” is ostensibly about a galactic weapon capable of mass destruction. The first halves of the first two verses give off a spacey “void” feel, with lead singer Dave Brockie (Oderus Urungus) singing over the rumbling bassline as atmospheric guitar effects swell in the background.

The Uberklaw Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Debaser of ancient debacles
Shattered worlds, twisted fables
Dark soothsayer of worlds unclean
Black blood boils as I vent my spleen
Obliteration
My destiny
A worm-gnawed skull
Stares back at me
The death I shall give you
Your means to be free
Sweet non-existence
Ends a life of slavery
[Pre-Chorus]
When all things have happened, what can there be left?
Why do we struggle, why do we fear death?
Why can't the darkness be part of the light?
Who's got the strength left to fight?
When all things have happened, what can there be left?
Why do we struggle, why do we fear death?
Why can't the darkness be part of the light?
Who's got the strength left to fight?
[Verse 2]
Life's many pleasures
Are soon sure to bore
Whether you build bombs or
Live as a whore
Hated of one's self is always the forge
Bloated protrusions of gurgling gorge
Life is a penance, your death the reward
Life is your penance and your death the reward
[Pre-Chorus]
When all things have happened, what can there be left?
Why do we struggle, why do we fear death?
Why can't the darkness be part of the light?
Who's got the strength left to fight?
When all things have happened, what can there be left?
Why do we struggle, why do we fear death?
Why can't the darkness be part of the light?
Who's got the strength left to fight?
[Chorus]
Smashing bloody laws
The Uberklaw
The gaping maw
We share this fate
It's life's one law
[Bridge]
The younger the soul, the sweeter the taste
The meter of peter forms thick bouillabaisse
Vomit it spews into destinies whole
Wretchedly ravage, your skull is my bowl
Mysteries murdered, I mean to offend
Edicts and ethos, the rifts that I rend
Stripping the dripping that never can end
Manfully mauling the ham-crank I bend
[Verse 3]
These are my words! This is the law!
Summon the power of The Uberklaw!
Chaos and carnage are all that I see
Give me a minute, I'll start World War III
The Uberklaw rises, it was made to rule
The subjects, they marvel and mutter and drool
For genocide, it is my favorite tool
So always remember, bring your guns to school
[Chorus]
Smashing bloody laws
The Uberklaw
The gaping maw
We share this fate
It's life's one law
Why do we struggle, why do we fear death?
Why do we struggle, why do we fear death?
Why do we struggle, why do we fear death?
Why do we struggle, why do we fear death?
The Uberklaw!
