Statutory Ape

The Black Dahlia Murder

8

This is a reckoning

A clichéd cut of lying tongue

Revenge never goes out of style

Gorilla honing trigger-finger

That makes gorilla man

Ingrained, there's hate within us all

Spiraling I've lost my footing once again

I'm flailing in a tantrum of disgust

When life holds nothing sacred

When the loveless turn to loathe

We'll witness this final threatened pose

(Oh!) Oh, Mother War!

Sleep in your arms tonight, I'm burning

I'm burning for your love

(This) This juggernaut of bronze and alcohol

Machines of vengeance now are born

In vengeance we are born

To our graves these grudges shall be sworn

The ultimate death of emotion never mourned

We'll die before we crawl

Twisted ministers of death

Praying for a bullet hail

Gorilla, suffocate!

Gorilla, maim!

An education in...

Howling!

Ministers of death

We'll be praying,

Praying for this bullet hail

Gorilla, suffocate!

Gorilla, maim!

An education in complete misanthropy

[solo]

(Oh!) Oh, Mother War!

Sleep in your arms tonight, I'm burning

I'm burning for your love

(This) This juggernaut of bronze and alcohol

Machines of vengeance now are born

(Oh!) Oh, Mother War!

Sleep in your arms tonight, I'm burning

I'm burning!

In vengeance we are born

To our fucking graves

The greatest tribe forever,

Forever!
