“SEWAGE ORACLE”

(Slow. Detuned. Filthy fuzz. Sounds like the amp cabinets are melting in the desert sun.)

Intro Spoken Word

In the summer heat

When the plastic swells

And the human rot begins to breathe…

Some men pray to God

Some men pray to gasoline

And some…

Huff the sewer ghost

Verse 1

Five-gallon throne in the backyard blaze

Black bag stretched in the ultraviolet haze

Human waste cooking in the midday sun

Fermenting sickness for the chosen ones

Flies in a halo

Buzzards overhead

Prophet by the dumpster

Talking to the dead

Stink climbs upward through the cracked PVC

Cheap hallucinations born biologically

Methane psalms and ammonia rain

Boiled-up sorrow frying every brain

Pre-Chorus

Hold the rag tight

Don’t let the spirit leak

Breathe deep now

Taste the week-old heat

Chorus

SEWAGE ORACLE

KING OF THE CAN

Breathing human vapor

Like a dying man

SEWAGE ORACLE

ROT-GAS PRIEST

Chemical salvation

From the belly of the beast

Verse 2

Sunlight beating on the swollen sack

Pressure building till the plastic cracks

Portable purgatory by the chain-link fence

Toilet fumes replacing common sense

Neighbors watching through nicotine blinds

Children hear chanting from the alley at night

Somebody laughing with bloodshot eyes

Clouds made of sewage crawling through the sky

Rust belt wizard in a stained work shirt

Barefoot preaching in the poisoned dirt

Says the sewer breath can free your soul

One more pull from the fermented hole

Chorus

SEWAGE ORACLE

LORD OF FILTH

Drinking revelations

From humanity itself

SEWAGE ORACLE

SEPTIC KING

Every foul exhalation

Makes the dead bells ring

Instrumental Break

(Massive crawling riff. Cymbals washing like heatwaves. Bass so low it sounds underwater.)

Bridge

Human ruin

Plastic tomb

Cooking in the afternoon

Rot and vapor

Pressure rise

Brown smoke curling to the skies

Garbage mystics

Breathing pain

Laughing in the acid rain

Doom Breakdown

Waste

Heat

Gas

Breathe

Waste

Heat

Gas

Breathe

Final Chorus

SEWAGE ORACLE

OPEN WIDE

Inhale the decomposition

Let the sewer ride

SEWAGE ORACLE

ENDLESS FUME

Trash-bag hallucinations

In a portable tomb

Outro

The bucket cools

The flies return

Another prophet waits his turn…
