when you die you go below, get caught inside the undertow
and satan is your only friend, you meet him at the very end
he tucks you in and says goodnight, and blows a kiss, turns out the light
you fall asleep and only dream of what life was or what it seemed
but I am here to bring you back with voodoo crystal's magic black
I make you come up out the ground and rise out of the dirty mound
we walk around all hollow first astounded by your own rebirth
no need to thank me, just pretend you never found your awful end
and I will tuck you in a night and blow a kiss, turn out the light
but this time you remain alive, and satan cries, he is deprived
but I cannot remain for long, that be a lie and I'd be wrong
to promise you'll be here for good, because you're dead you understood
your fate was sealed with satan's hand and you must learn to understand
that I can only keep you here when I'm alive, but now I fear
I'm coming to my own demise so it should come as no surprise
that we shall see him once again and decompose into the sand
and satan is our only friend, we meet him at the very end
he tucks us in and says goodnight, and blows a kiss, turns out the light
we fall asleep and only dream of what life was or what it seemed
and I'm not here to bring us back with voodoo crystal's magic black
A wonderful juxtaposition of hauntingly beautiful melodies and vocals which can somehow be at once soothing and gentle while abrasive and oppressive. Blow off steam and go to your zen place by smashing glasses against a wall. Ol' Bugs
