lyrics

Gods of Death

In the halls of Valhalla in the sky
The food runs out, the casks of wine go dry.
Driven mad, the warriors clash
Consuming one another’s flesh.

On the River Styx, Charon rows across
To ferry souls down to Hades lost
Where they find no relief
Rending hair and gnashing teeth.

The heavens sigh, the heavens sigh,
Empty inside,
For even the gods of death must die.

In Bethlehem the kings got mad
About the savior Mary never had.
All their gifts were wasted
On a creature born of lust and hatred.

The heavens sigh, the heavens sigh,
Empty inside,
For even the gods of death must die.

Oh, oh the gods of death must die.
Oh, oh, oh the gods of death.

At the Vatican, me I got pissed
At the God I know does not exist.
For all our seven billion hells
There’s none to blame but ourselves.

The heavens sigh, the heavens sigh,
Empty inside,
For even the gods of death must die.

Oh, oh the gods of death must die.
Oh, oh, oh the gods of death.

about

Buzzards of Doom Folk Massachusetts

The bleak brainchild of singer/songwriter Christopher Thomas Elliott, Buzzard combines the heavy riffing of Doom, the storytelling of Folk, and the dark themes of Weird Fiction, SF, Horror, and social satire.
