lyrics :

Someone singing in the shower
Someone singing in the shower
Singing, singing, singing, singing
Singing, singing, singing shower
Someone's singing in the shower

I hear a voice and see no angel
I hear a voice and see no angel
I hear a voice and see no angel
Hero see no, hero see no, hero see no, hear and see no
Hear a voice and see no angel

Violence and vivisection
Violence and vivisection
Lust, lust, lust, lust, lust, lust
Violence and vivisection

Gods, Gods this fear of Gods

Some boys are calling, boys are crying
Some boys are calling, boys are crying
Calling, calling, calling, calling calling calling, crying
Calling, calling, calling, calling calling calling, crying

Fear is fast, I'm turning white now
Fear is fast, I'm turning white now
Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster
Fear is fast, I'm turning white now

Gods, Gods, this fear of Gods
I'm back on black, I'm back on black
Fear of gods
Back on black
Back on black
Back on black
