Hellelujah

Godawful Danzig impression? Check. Complete lack of shame? Check.

The corpse of Leonard Cohen overtaken, kinda/sorta, by the spirit of the Misfits circa Walk Among Us. Cartoonish, amateurish, misbegotten...as the god of midnight movies intended.

Lyrics:

Well I heard that there’s a demon chord
That ghouls play amid scenes abhorred
But you don’t really care for mayhem, do you?
It goes like this, the blood, the bones,
The evil notes, the savage tones,
The flesh-gorged fiends, they shriek out HELLELUJAH!

Your faith was strong but your flesh was weak,
A painful vengeance she did wreak,
Her beauty and her chainsaw overthrew you.
She hung you over the bathtub drain,
She cut your throat, she ate your brain
And with your final breath you screamed HELLELUJAH!

Baby I have been here before,
I’ve held these skulls, I’ve drunk this gore,
I used to be alive before I knew you.
I’ve seen your face in infernal fire
But love is not an angel choir,
It’s a dark and it’s a deadly HELLELUJAH!

Hilarious (and an auspicious MeFiMu debut)!

My expectations were raised by the use of the "whoaohoh" tag, and I was not disappointed.

Brilliant! "She cut your throat, she ate your brain" - this? Lyrical genius.

Oh man, these lyrics kill me.

And eat my brain.
