Lyrics[]
I've got something to say
I killed your baby today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as it's dead
I've got something to say
I raped your mother today and it
Doesn't matter much to me
As long as she spread
These lovely dead
I'm waiting for your breath
'Cause sweet death wants last caress.
One last caress today
