lyrics

Kerosene to the Zombie

Past is dead watch the
necrophiliacs there
crowd in
rush to
adore the carcass of God
no euthanasia
don't want no easy way out

Keeping on good terms
with oblivion now
say your prayers
dead stare
embracing forced motherhood
yet for the living
I hear a deafening yawn

Profiteers of hegemony
fall into decay
and those orgasms of history
come to smash its pretty face

Kerosene to the zombie
flame to the revenant
it's kerosene to the zombie
flame to the revenant

Drain the sea
in which the boat floats
citadels water logged
fret not
Rome wasn’t burned in a day
Take what's forbidden
wrest from the hands of the past

Bomb for peace
fuck for virginity
A sense of dread
is a purchase on reality
in God's dominion
the dead have conjugal rights

Profiteers of patriarchy
fall into disgrace
Are we talking peaceful transfer
or talking severed heads of state

Kerosene to the zombie
flame to the revenant
it's kerosene to the zombie
flame to the revenant
it's kerosene to the zombie
flame to the revenant
it's kerosene to the zombie
flame to the revenants
