The Killing Joke

from I Am Become Death EP by Spitting Black

/

lyrics

Body in revolt screaming eyes
Inhaling an endless misery
Quality of life, the killing joke

Preserve mortality at all cost
Their God decides who lives and dies
A line that won't be crossed
Burden that no one wants to claim
Kept alive to waste away
Torture called humane

Tubes feed machines
In an endless symphony of automated screens
Destroying sanity
Voice lost in the void of perforated skin
Utter filth surrounding
Festering within
Life is precious

Nosocomial putrefaction
Devouring a dying human being
Quality of life, the killing joke

Preserve mortality at your cost
Their God decides who lives and dies
All rationale is lost
Mercy from this fate will be denied
Savor every wretched breath
You have no right to die

Everything is pain
Senses overflow
Narcotics pumping endlessly
Faces come and go
Writhing now in agony medicine can't mend
I.V.s embalm a gasping corpse begging for an end
