about

Opening track from 'A Stitch in Time'.

lyrics

They smear the blood upon their face
and, oh, they feel no shame,
for it is but a trophy in their cruel and sickening game.
They come with guns and kill for fun
anything that they see.
They represent all the decay of western society.

They represent all that is wrong
with all the Human race
rich westerners who kill for sport -
they are Mankind's disgrace.
They kill so they can mount a head
above their fireplace.
They kill so that they all can smear
the blood upon their face.

Chorus
They say they've acted heroically
that they have killed a dangerous beast
they look like cowards to me
and they are the only beasts I see

The bullets smash right through the skull
and tear holes in the brain.
It is a such, that when they kill
they do not inflict pain,
and this is the excuse they use
to kill because they can,
and smile for pictures with a corpse,
the blood upon their hands.

Chorus

They smear the blood upon their face.
