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)
