lyrics

Destined to despair,
The saddest of sacks
Shared a somber moment,
Provoking their collapse

"I like what you did to that pumpkin,"
She uttered woefully
Admired his craft and then asked him,
"Could ya do the same to me?"

Revolving dung heap,
To its core our bodies creep
Woebegone, we shed our souls
and crawl into this death hole

Since our first acquaintance
We've planned our grim farewell
A dreary divination
Announced by a death knell

A terminal proposal
Spilled out through your teeth
So I fetched my shovel
To take us down beneath

Revolving dung heap,
To its core our bodies creep
Woebegone, we shed our soles
and crawl into this death hole

A falsetto wail from a spirit
Guides our darkened way
Luring us like a siren
We happily obey

Now our vessels wither
Like syphilitic brains
They seep into the dung heap
As it feasts on our remains

Dung heaps, death holes
Dung heaps, death holes
Dung heaps, death holes
Dung heaps, death holes
