Prelude to Agony

Edit

"Prelude to Agony" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their first album Slow, Deep and Hard, released in 1991. This song is about raping the girl. The first canto, "The Truth", is instrumental. The second canto, "God Love Fire Woman Death", has stoner metal riffs. The third canto, "Jackhammarape", features a grinding jackhammer and a woman shrieking. The fourth canto, "Pain (Is Irrelevant)", has dirge-like riffing then a mechanical device used to inflict serious injury to incapacitated victims with female screams then some male screams.

The altered version of this song, "Pain", which is the partial title of the fourth canto of this song, is included on their second album The Origin of the Feces.

Lyrics[]

[Canto I. "The Truth"]
[Instrumental]

[Canto II. "God Love Fire Woman Death"]
There is no pain like that of desire
Is there no difference between women and fire?
One burns the spirit
The other the flesh
Is sex worth the price of certain death?

Absolution
I am whole
Absolution
I am

Open her loins and into the hearth
Don't let her flames consume your heart
For the quest of holy copulation
The end result?
Self immolation

Absolution
I am whole
Absolution
I am

Love is life
Life is love
Love is pain
Pain is death

[Canto III. "Jackhammerape"]
Agony and ecstasy
Your cries of pain my pleasure
To know my machine internally
Your torment I treasure

Lifeblood combines with semen
You're screaming my laughter
The compressor is running smoothly
'Tis vengeance I am after

Begging becomes your love song
You're dying
I masturbate
For the crime of burning me
I give to thee
Jackhammerape

[Canto IV. "Pain (is irrelevant)"]
Pain
Pain
Pain
Pain

I hope you enjoy this

(Pain)
