Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]In the fortress of GWAR, much
torment does remain
Despite all of the bodies
that had been hacked in twain
So many had died in the viscous
campaign
That their femurs alone
made a fine mountain

[Verse 2]
The [D]Master was no longer
GWAR's sovereign
Of wealth and women they
[G]had none to gain
What [D]goal was left for them [C]to attain
[F]So Oder[D]us did call [G]for conclave

[Verse 3]
[D]First [C]came Balsac, his council
was wise
[F]His War-Axe gleamed, gleamed,
he [G]was a loyal knight
Plus [D]forty dancing [C]bears he did provide
Then, [F]first in prowess,
he [G]stood his lord beside

[Verse 4]
[D]Beefcake the Mighty,
his [C]ass was [F]wide
Brought eighty laden oxen,
he [G]was a good ally
[D]Jizmak the Gusha, his leg[C]ion
was [F]described
For many hours he [G]barked at the tribe

[Verse 5]
But [D]then, timely, the [C]ca tering ar[F]rived
Booze, drugs, food,
four [G]hundred hundred mule-loads high
[D]Flattus Maximus, this [C]he did supply
And [F]now the mighty brothers
[G]of GWAR did band

[Verse 6]
They [D]will to journey and slay without plan
[F]Bring sledge and terror
to the [G]cities of man
[D]Open Oberammergau
Like [F]hell was a wom[G]b, it tore

[Verse 7]
And [D]from the womb the creatures poured
[C]Troll, [F]goblin, [G]Manticore
[D]Siege machine and armored whore
There will [F]be battle like [G]never before

[Verse 8]
The [D]Surface World learned of the malaise
Black Pope, usurper,
he saw through the veil
They plan their defense
in the land of the wasted
[G]Afr[F]ica, bitter fru[G]it she had tasted

[Verse 9]
[D]Ensign of industry, [C]let it be raised
[F]There the camp of the
[G]Black Pope was placed
His [D]legions breath, through
the val[C]leys the raced
[F]Charlots they rode,
and their [G]skulls were iron-plated

[Verse 10]
Belching [D]Belching fire, freshly painted
[F]8000 Battalions of Kni[G]ghts freshly sainted
But [D]before they fought,
they were vaccinated
To pro[F]tect them from the AIDS
that had [G]been created

[Verse 11]
To con[D]tinue the reign
of Black Pope unabated
The [F]people at home,
got a [G]version G-rated
Here [D]Here the GWAR invaded
[F]Began the viola[G]tion
[D][F][D]

[Verse 12]
[D][Eb]
The War Barges, fore[B]castles [C#5]swarm ing
[F]Disgorging the troops,
formations [B5]forming
The [Eb5]low dr[Ebm]one of[B] the hornin[C#5]g
Sound[F]ing out [B5]a call, then a warning

[Verse 13]
A [Eb]nuclear salvo [B5]where
GWAR was en[C#5]croaching
[F]Within a second ten
legions were toast[B5]ing
[Eb]Balsac said, "Did you [B]feel somet[C#5]hing?"
[D]The Lord was[F] not boa[Bb]sting[C]

[Verse 14]
[D]The enemy is vast,
steel carpets the ter[F]rain
[D]Still they are forming, armors detrains
They send forth a [Eb]Captain,
[D]OJ by nam[F]e[D]

[Verse 15]
Flattus struck him in the brain
[D]Burst the helmet,
made two parts [F]of the mind
[D]Chopped through his gorget,
through chest, into spine
And the good captains blood
flowed like wine
Flattus said,
"So ends a cowards time."

[Verse 16]
Balsac is angry, he'll have no more [D]He
hurls his axe, with great effort
To smite [Eb]Re gis with t[D]errible fo[F]rce
His [D]shield breaks, his hauberk unsews

[Verse 17]
The axe bursts through his chest and torso
[D]
Bright blood spurts,
the guts are loosed by the throw
And with that [Eb]axe the soul
[D]from body [F]goes
[D]Said Jizmak, "That was a heavy blow."

[Verse 18]
[F]Beefcake the Mighty,
clotted [Dm]with spew
[F]His sword falls, skull[Db5]s burst in two
The [F]eyes burst from sockets,
he is [Db]not through
[F]Thousands of warriors [Dbm]he does this to

[Verse 19]
[F]Piling up the corpses of [Bb]those he slew
[Db5]Until it[F] was hard to[B5]
tell [Dbm]if the pile [Db5]grew
[F]Balsacsaid, "He is a princely [Bb]lord"
[C#5]Said B[F]eefcake[Bb], "Yes,
[Dbm]it's t[Eb]rue."
Jizmak smites, his [B]hammer [Db5]whirls Fore

[Verse 20]
[F]
heads explode, entrails twirl
[D#]Breaking open brain-pans [B5]as as[C#5] well
[F]Red blood flowing as souls
speed to [D#]hell
Oderus smites the Black [B]Pope, ex[B5]posing his

[Verse 21]
[F]
brain
The blade continued through
meat and membrane
[Eb]Bright blood flowed in the
[B]grass where he was lain
[F]Here ends this tale, that much is plain
