Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Flies all green and buzzing in his dungeon of despair
Prisoners grumble and piss their clothes, scratch their matted hair
A tiny light from a window hole a hundred yards away
Is all they ever get to know about the regular life in the day
[Verse 2]
And it stinks so bad the stone's been choking
And weeping greenish drops
In the room where the giant fire puffer works and the torture never stops
The torture never stops
[Verse 3]
Slime and rot, rats and snot and vomit on the floor
Fifty ugly soldiers man, holding spears by the iron door
Knives and spikes and guns and the likes of every tool of pain
And a sinister midget with a bucket and a mop where the blood goes down the drain
[Verse 4]
And it stinks so bad the stone's been choking
And weeping greenish drops
In the room where the giant fire puffer works and the torture never stops
The torture never stops
The torture, torture, the torture never stops
[Verse 5]
Flies all green and buzzing in his dungeon of despair
An evil prince eats a steaming pig in a chamber right near there
He eats the snouts and the trotters first
The loins and the groins is soon dispersed
His carving style is well-rehearsed
[Verse 6]
He stands and shouts
All men be cursed
All men be cursed
All men be cursed
All men be cursed
And disagree, well no one durst
He's the best of course of all the worst
Some wrong been done, he done it first
[Verse 7]
He stinks so bad, his bones been choking
Been weeping greenish drops
In the night of the iron sausage
Where the torture never stops
The torture never stops
The torture, the torture
The torture never stops
[Verse 8]
Flies all green and buzzing in his dungeon of despair
Who are all those people that he's locked away down there?
Are they crazy?
Are they sainted?
Are they zeroes someone painted?
[Verse 9]
It has never been explained since at first it was created
But a dungeon like a sin
Requires naught but locking in
Of everything that's ever been
[Verse 10]
Look at hers
Look at him
That's what's the deal we're dealing in
That's what's the deal we're dealing in
That's what's the deal we're dealing in
That's what's the deal we're dealing in
