Murder of the Universe

[Narrator] As soon as the dust settles, you can see A new world in place of where the old one had been Your skin is crawling with dry, crusted mud And your naked feet are wet in a pool of blood And the whistle of the wind in your ears is so loud That your memories have blown up in a mushroom cloud And as your eyes accommodate There appears by the meadow A brute like a bear with a long, dark shadow And you violently shake over what you have seen As you remember the tale of the Altered Beast

[Narrator] You don't feel a thing in your sinuous head No love, no pain, and no fear of dread Your apathetic dispassion has made you distort And your savoir faire is to kill for sport You'd wound a small creature and watch it wiggle And lust to feel so bad, that you'd force a giggle So crooked and curled is your point of view There is no other creature more malicious than you [Verse 1] I'm completely satisfied My other life I will not miss An altered beast until I die And I will not give up on this Never! [Verse 2] True, I went to hell and back But it was so I could be this An altered beast until the end And I will not give up on this Never! [Chorus] I don't feel heinous I don't feel no pain I don't feel nothing I don't feel anything I don't feel heinous I don't feel no pain I don't feel nothing I don't feel anything Altered Beast within me I don't feel heinous I don't feel no pain I don't feel nothing I don't feel anything [Narrator] You're ruthless, and savage, and sadistic, and vindictive And you find human flesh is incredibly addictive But the longer you live, and the longer you kill There's a void that gets harder, and harder to fill The void that you feel within would suggest That a canyon has opened up inside of your chest And whatever you do, there's no turning back You've reached the end of the cul-de-sac [Verse 3] Emptiness inside of me And hollowness all around me I cut myself to see it bleed And now I don't feel anything Never! [Verse 4] Insincere and trivial The world is void of all meaning And gone is all that's visceral And now I don't feel anything Never! [Chorus] I don't feel heinous I don't feel no pain I don't feel nothing I don't feel anything I don't feel heinous I don't feel no pain I don't feel nothing I don't feel anything Altered Beast within me I don't feel heinous I don't feel no pain I don't feel nothing I don't feel anything I don't feel heinous I don't feel no pain I don't feel nothing I don't feel anything Altered Beast within me I don't feel heinous I don't feel no pain I don't feel nothing I don't feel anything [Narrator] The sole thing that will make your void obsolete Is to find someone new, some sapid fresh meat [Outro] Altered beast Alter me Altered beast Alter me I think I see An altered beast inside me, oh! I am an altered beast

[Narrator] Are you you? Are you me? Or someone in between? You lost track inside the labyrinthine You lost your will and your sanity You certainly lost your humanity In life, you have taken much more than your worth Now it's your turn to give back to the earth May you return to the ground and ossify It's time for you to die, die, die

Is this song not instrumental?

[The Reticent Raconteur] There is a secret I've been keeping, a story true and genuine And I have not the candid heart to keep its burden clandestine For its gravity is as weighty as a mountain capped in snow And its memory repeats inside of me, ostinato And every time I think of the poor lot, I recall The fear upon their faces and the doomed fate of them all I saw death become of light, and life become of fire I saw it from my hiding place, within the quagmire I bringeth forth the drama, unabridged, and unignored The battle of the Balrog, and the mighty lightning lord

[Pre-Chorus] Nonagon, nonagon Nonagon infinity, yup! [Interlude: The Reticent Raconteur] Howling like a horde of demons greatest battle cry The violent lightning lord points his arms into the sky [Chorus] Floating fire Golden wire Silver trails Flashing spire Guns are cracking Bombs are smacking Cat o' tails Whips her lashings [Verse 2] Lord of Lightning moves our way Sends a crooked look at me Electricity escapes Lights the sky in citrine fleece [Refrain] Lightning, oh!

[Pre-Chorus] Nonagon, nonagon Nonagon infinity, yup! Nonagon, nonagon, oh! [Interlude: The Reticent Raconteur] And from the Lord's electric snare One goes in his electric chair [Verse 1] Lord of Lightning shifts his gaze Points his strong finger our way Electricity escapes Leaves destruction in our wake [Interlude: The Reticent Raconteur] His electric trap has electric cyanide The luckless hostage has been thoroughly fried [Refrain] Lightning, oh! [Pre-Chorus] Nonagon, nonagon Nonagon infinity, yup!
