about

Life is a fickle and ciclic beast, to be sure.

lyrics

As we walked through the valley of the shadow of death
Saw the most badass performance that we've ever seen yet
A lil’ ol’ man with a stage and a curtain blood red
Brandishing marionettes of the recently dead

He called out to us as we were standing in line
While we waited to be judged unto the end of time
Why don't you boys come over here and sit down for a spell
Might as well take in my show before you're banished to hell - Sit down

The lil’ ol’ man told us a story with his marionettes
About the devil's secret vault containing his magical chest
In the chest lay an arrow it's the one and only thing
Used to slay the Devil so throw your hat in the ring

Descending into hell we concocted a plan
Break into Satan's vault then run as fast as we can
Dead fingers clutched tightly to the magical chest
As we whisk it off be unlocked to use on our quest

Hunting down the devil through the bowels of hell
Snuck right up behind ‘im with the arrow impaled
But the Devil didn't die he just laughed at his own ruse
His power had increased tenfold pure evil infused

The lil’ ol’ man with the stage and the curtain blood red
Was actually beelzebub overlord of the dead
His power’s grown beyond that which hell can even hold
We brought about the apocalypse foretold

As they walked through the valley of the shadow of death
They saw the most badass performance that they've ever seen yet
A lil’ ol’ man with a stage and a curtain blood red
Brandishing marionettes of the recently dead

He called out to them as they were standing in line
While they waited to be judged unto the end of time
Why don't you folks come over here and sit down for a spell
Might as well take in my show before you're banished to hell - Sit down
