Mercenary Retrograde
The iron grate, the bed of stone<br/> The crawling rat, the heathen witch<br/> who cursed me with green eyes<br/> <br/> The price of sin, the aching heart<br/> The touch of youth, the falling tooth<br/> And I have far below<br/> <br/> I wish I was dead<br/> <br/> Her eyes were loveless and evil<br/> Her eyes stared to my soul<br/> And I have fallen through the cracks<br/> And Hell is having lived too long<br/> Hell is having lived too long...<br/> <br/> I wish I was dead<br/> I wish I was never born at all<br/> I wish I was dead

You watch the images flash by upon your silver screen<br/> you think you're safe in your coccoon<br/> But He is lurking of the threshold of the universe<br/> the hands of fate are coming soon<br/> <br/> Manos! Manos! Manos! The hand of fate!<br/> <br/> You're stretched and bound and lying on my sacrificial slab<br/> My hellhound's pulling on his chain<br/> I'll take your hand into the flames<br/> Then you will know the master's pain<br/> <br/> Manos! Manos! Manos! The hand of fate!
