Here are the lyrics to disc one of "Terrifyer," the great new record by Pig Destroyer:

Pretty in Casts

Maybe she'll snap her wrist doing cartwheels
Or her ankle dancing drunken at some rave
Maybe she'll go through a windshield
And have twinkling bits of glass stuck in her face
She's so pretty in her casts
Damages so perfectly
She's so pretty in her casts
The prettiest thing I've ever seen
I only get to hold her when she's injured
I only get to kiss her where she's sore


Boy Constrictor

Dopesick for your sympathy
I'm a cold, slithering monster
Haunting your footsteps forever
Sweetheart, blacken my eyes
They'll still shimmer like assassin's knives
Cut my lips off
See the lacerations grin
I'm a student of obsession
You taught me everything I know


Scarlet Hourglass

She rolls out of bed with blankets wrapped around her
Dragging like the virgin's wedding gown
There's a scarlet hourglass at the base of her spine
Four arms offer caresses
Four arms brandish knives
Her tongue twirls in her mouth
Spinning webs of lies


Thumbsucker

My eyes have changed color
Some sick yellow that I've never seen
My stomach is knotted with hunger
For the taste of her sex
Obscene
She whispers such sweet death threats in my daydreams
So punish me for weakness
Blame me for everything
I don't like the suffering
I like the sympathy it brings


Gravedancer

In this two bedroom tomb
I'm sitting all alone with the television static and the refrigerator drone
I'm waiting for those blessed arms that seem to wrap around me six or seven times
Praying for them to come home
I could cut myself to pass the time
Haven't felt anything in days
A six year old girl dances on my ceiling
She might as well be dancing on a grave


Lost Cause

Someday I'll find a way to win her over
She knows it's me calling again
I can feel her rolling her eyes
These words I used to scream from the rooftops
They just fall like ash from my tongue


Sourheart

With trembling fingers I trace her jawline
Such a geometric mystery of celestial design
Her fragile lips form delicate grins to spite the sour heart within
I count the freckles on her shoulders
I taste confection 'tween her thighs


Towering Flesh

She frolics through the rain
Whispering love insane
Her kisses exit through heart-shaped exit wounds
Her skin like flesh of angels
Her blood my catholic wine
It moves slowly through me
Disintegrates my spine
She's got heroin embraces that I still need to be in
I force myself to loathe her so I can fall for her again
Her lips are wet with venom
Her posture's serpentine
She'll touch my arm and flowers grow there
Poisonous and obscene
All her shrugged little movements and their despotic majesty
In the midst of such perfection I can't help but feel diseased


Song of Filth

Like SS regalia on your skeletal frame
A forked tongue
French kiss from three feet away
We hold each other like hostages one last time
As the vipers spiral down your leg then spiral up mine


Verminess

When she touches me it's like a rodent sifting through garbage
But it's better than just rotting away
When she kisses me her lips are like chalk beneath empty eye sockets
Compassion takes too much effort I suppose
The dead honeybees suckle withered flowers
'cause they don't know what else to do


Torture Ballad

The tape across your mouth says more than your words ever could
you're squirming and screaming as I tease your eyes with glowing needles
Crawl slug
Drag your legs behind
I know no matter how much I hurt you she'll always love you more than me
But all of this isn't for the sake of her love
It's for the sake of my jealousy


Restraining Order Blues

The bullet hole looks so right in your head
Like it'd been missing all along
The blood streaked across your face
Like some twisted lover's deformed lipstick trace
Staring at your reflection
Wondering how you're still alive
Wondering if she's somewhere laughing
Deciding whether to let you die


Carrion Fairy

Yesterday she showed me her bruises
Pulled her sweater up underneath her breasts
They were scattered 'cross her rib cage
Like a little patch of violet rorshach tests
She said just 'cause I can't crawl inside you
That doesn't mean I'm not your parasite
She used to be so radiant
So sexy when she laughed
Now her eyes they look like gravesites as she speaks in epitaphs


Downpour Girl

Half asleep in an open grave
I'm gazing into the sky
Carving her shape in the dark clouds
I want her to drown me in her poison
I thought she was sweing up my wounds
But she was really planting tumors inside


Soft Assassin

Your heart looks delicious she says
Licking her lips as her kamikaze fists crash into floating ribs
I stare at you the way you stare at your mirror
So please show me no mercy
Don't be a soft assassin
I scream though I'm laughing inside
I know you can't destroy me
But you're adorable when you try


Dead Carnations

Buildings collapse in the distance behind you
But I'm so hypnotized by your quivering voice
Your fluttering eyes, that I don't see them fall
They could open all the cages
Set every demon free
Send a bullet screaming to the president's head
Crack it open for everyone to see
I'm dead to this world, so bury me deep in your arms tonight


Crippled Horses

Push my fingers past her ear
Watch them disappear into her brown hair
I wish the rest of me could go with them
Her bedroom is quiet but my heart screams a horrifying sound
Like a hundred crippled horses lying crumpled on the ground
Begging for a rifle to come and put them down


The Gentleman

I can swallow secrets and spit up blackmail
Saccharine words and plastic charm can dazzle for a short time
I just want to help you in my own selfish way
I will bow my head and kiss your hand
Wishing I could snap every finger


Crawl of Time

I can feel the glacial crawl of time
Like a dull razor carving up my face
I can feel the last drops of youth lingering inside
I write another love letter to another heartless girl


Terrifyer

These strange thorned vines spring from the ground
They wind around me
They bind me down
She moves across the rose garden suspended in a dark cloud of flies
Her toes drag the tops of the flowers
And leave them blackened and shrivelled in her wake
Her hands dangle from thin strings of skin
Her forearms, they're like gun barrels smoking crimson

If you like Charles Baudelaire, you should LOVE Pig Destroyer's lyrics.

how about the lyrics to "Toxic" by Britney Spears?

Does nobody here see the similarities between these lyrics and the work of Baudelaire???

Rapper's Delight-Sugar Hill Gang

Well Elmo's going to hell now.

my greatest lyrics:


I STAND BEFORE THEE, GODS OF ALL PRESTINE
COME FORTH TO SEE, ALL THINGS TO BE SEEN
NOW KNOW THE PRESENCE, AND CHOOSE THY WRATH
FOR FLOCK OF TYRANTS, WHO KNOW NOT THY PATH

COME NOW IN SWEEPING VENGEANCE
COME NOW IN NEEDED TIME
DEMAND AS I STAND BEFORE YOU
CLEANSE THIS WORLDS DECAY

I DEMAND TO KNOW THE LIGHT OF A PROMISED LAND
I DEMAND TO SEE THIS CORROSION WIPED AWAY

AND THE SLITHERING BEGINS
AS THE SHELL OF MEN CRAWL WEEPING
AND AS THE LIGHT OF DAWN IS GROWING
THE REALIZATION SETS IN
AND WITH THE WINDS THAT ARE BLOWING
THE FINAL TRUTH HAS COME
THAT THE WAYS OF THE SHALLOW EMPTY
HAVE BROUGHT IT DOWN
THE WINDS THAT ARE BLOWING
SHALL BRING IT DOWN

AND WHILE YOUR CLINGING
TO THE WAYS OF YOUR WORTHLESS LIFE
YOUR WORLD IS FALLING
YOU ARE LEFT WITH NOTHING
AND WITH THE WINDS THAT ARE BLOWING
THE FINAL TRUTH HAS COME
YOUR WAYS SO SHALLOW AND EMPTY
HAVE BROUGHT IT DOWN
YOUR IGNORANT HAZE
HAS BROUGHT IT DOWN

RETURN THESE DAYS TO THE RIGHTEOUS
HEAL THESE WOUNDS OF TIME
I HAVE WAITED SO LONG
FOR THE WINDS OF CHANGE TO COME
THROUGH EYES STILL CLEAR
THROUGH EYES NOT DULLED BY FEAR
THROUGH EYES BEHIND THE SOUL
I SEE WHAT MUST BE.....

I DEMAND TO KNOW THE LIGHT OF A PROMISED LAND
I DEMAND TO SEE THIS CORROSION WIPED AWAY
