Gunpoint
from Acids & Bases by Famitory
lyrics
Standing held at gunpoint
A rotten, red-eyed man
Said “don’t have much to steal,
But I’ll give you what I can”
Pulled from tattered pockets
A dollar and fifty cents
A blinding blast of bloodshot
Body full of dents
A shadow came upon them
A hooded wispy ghoul
And screamed in deadly voices
“you miserable mortal fool!”
Towering above him
“he was not yours to take”
A flick of ghostly wrist and
His bones began to break
--chorus--
Taken through the ground~
Never to be found~
Now that time will tell
In a personal hell!
--Verse 2--
Golden spires of grandeur
A palace built of spite
Their joyless faces blander
Than canvas painted white
Plucked a servant roughly
Ignoring pleas for life
Cut that peon’s head off
And fed it to his wife
A shadow came upon them
A hooded wispy ghoul
And screamed in deadly voices
“you miserable mortal fool!”
Towering above him
“she was not yours to take”
A flick of ghostly wrist and
The ground began to shake
--Chorus--
Taken deep bellow
Sins so clearly shown
Now that time will tell
In a personal hell!
A rotten, red-eyed man
Said “don’t have much to steal,
But I’ll give you what I can”
Pulled from tattered pockets
A dollar and fifty cents
A blinding blast of bloodshot
Body full of dents
A shadow came upon them
A hooded wispy ghoul
And screamed in deadly voices
“you miserable mortal fool!”
Towering above him
“he was not yours to take”
A flick of ghostly wrist and
His bones began to break
--chorus--
Taken through the ground~
Never to be found~
Now that time will tell
In a personal hell!
--Verse 2--
Golden spires of grandeur
A palace built of spite
Their joyless faces blander
Than canvas painted white
Plucked a servant roughly
Ignoring pleas for life
Cut that peon’s head off
And fed it to his wife
A shadow came upon them
A hooded wispy ghoul
And screamed in deadly voices
“you miserable mortal fool!”
Towering above him
“she was not yours to take”
A flick of ghostly wrist and
The ground began to shake
--Chorus--
Taken deep bellow
Sins so clearly shown
Now that time will tell
In a personal hell!

Famitory recommends:
-
A shotgun blast of the gamut of human emotion; animalistic aggression, wailing despair, jaunty celebration, and strange juxtapositions all abound in spades. while not for everyone, a true classic.
go to album -
fantastic digital metal with a unique aesthetic. if you enjoy Ryth-ZM, you will very likely enjoy Riikira. be sure to also taste her earlier album, m027

Internet Remix Party: Vol. 2
by GrazAlthough Famitory Records disavows all knowledge of time travel technology, a listener can easily travel back to 1997 with this happy hardcore/rave breaks collection.
