The Litany of the Slain Lyrics


And we begin our litany
Of peopled killed by mostly me
Goatie the load, he's first in line
Antarctic Ant not far behindRipped an arm off Melvin Fleebish
Mutant cockroach not for squeamish
Uncle Knobby crushed by engine
Pretty Pookie anus-bendingAnton Reemcobb, he exploded
Redneck got his chest imploded
Biker Bitch, she was de-titted
Stubbles on a pike was spittedCranial crush the Franken Ref
Ollie North was kicked to death
Smashed flat was mutant baby
Small Sac had to join the navyThe litany of the vanquished
The litany of the slain
You know their names will someday vanish
Enshrined in death they shall remainMr. Fudgie, death came quickly
Mrs. Fudgie, slow and sickly
Mangled spleen of Noriega

Log suck off, yeah, we betrayed yaCrucified the oral swallow
Bested techno, threats were hollow
Bozo waged his mortal combat
Edna Grambo raped with wombatThe litany of the vanquished
The corporal, yes, he lost his tits
Private parts was drowned in shit
(The litany)
Poor ole Tome was beaten badly
(Of the slain)
Him was hacked and slashed up madlyFather Bohab, raped 'til dead
Gorgor, big sword through the head
(You know their names)
Smelly Hippy, shotgun blast
(Will someday vanish)
Art Fag with a face rip fastReeko Bowel Grande, he was flayed
Nigel Ponce was thricely gayed
(Enshrined in death)
Gor Borg got a spear through the gullet
(They shall remain)
Hitler had to bite the bulletBag Lady, disemboweled
Butterfly boy, raked and trowelled
Butterfly girl had no luck
Flopsy with a facial fist fuckBoss Glom, he had his face melted
World Maggot was thricely belted
Flesh column with a double fist chop
O-J got jugular slit stopJerry Garcia, heart attack
Frank Sinatra, hammer whack
Bloody beat down Cardinal Syn
Syn Warriors were chopped at chinGray aliens stuck and skewered
Alien baby was manured
Michael Jackson was a fighter
Jerry Springer struck by lighterMutant Penguins, what a joke
Robo Sleazy, get a rope
Bill Clinton, hacked and mangled
Monika, her entrails tangledLady Di, death expected
El Duce, resurrected
Jon Benet, a bloody mass
Dead Elvis, a spear up assThe master wasn't very scary
But John Kerry, very hairy
Marilyn Manson, he got skinned
Jagermonsta, flipped and pinnedDr. Leaky, got jaw knocked off
Double tit chop Lara Croft
Al Gore saw his flesh a rending
Bush's death was never endingBone Snapper, he never died
Skullix did, though life, he tried
Bloody Mary, crushed by bison
Kicked the shit out of Mike TysonCourtney Love was raped and rotten
Had to hand a guy named Saddam
Osama crushed by weights so heavy
Found the head of Chandra LevyPope John Paul got bit by Gor Gor
Bashed and thrashed the Reagonator
Laci Peterson was found
Dick Cheney guts unwoundParis Hilton fucked a donkey
Sharon Osbourne rather wonky
Lordi's head was on a stick
V-A Tech, dude, what a dickJewcifer, run down by camel
Double arm rip, toe enamel
Hell cop got a spear up ass
Ultimate Bohab, quickly gassedNazi Pope was executed
Mo Ho Med electrocuted
Hillary Clinton murdered mama
Gruesome killing of ObamaJohn McCain saw his guts spilling
Sawborg Destructo saw the killing
Messy death for General Zog'
Another baby crushed with logAnd that's what this song is for
The creatures that were killed by GWAR
And that's what this song is for
So check in on the next GWAR tourAnd that's what this song is for
So check in on the next GWAR tour
And that's what this song is for
The creatures that were killed by GWAR

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
GWAR is a satirical thrash metal/punk band formed in 1985-1986 by a group of artists and musicians at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. The band is perhaps best known for their elaborate sci-fi/horror film inspired costumes, raunchy lyrics, and graphic stage performances, which can consist of scatology, sadomasochism, necrophilia, paedo-necrophilia, beastio-necrophilia, fire dancing, fake pagan rituals, mock executions/mutilations, and other controversial violent and political themes. GWAR was, for a long time, on the leading edge of shock rock, going as far as appearing on Jerry Springer in character and in full costume during the mid 1990's.

The origin and meaning of the band's name has been left intentionally vague by its members, although the most widely accepted explanation (though false and denied by the band members) is that GWAR is an acronym for "God What an Awful Racket!" One rumor states that the name may have come from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' graphic novel Watchmen, in which a poster reads, "Pink Triangle LIVE at the Gay Women Against Rape Benefit Concert." Other unsubstantiated rumors state that GWAR! is the sound monsters make in old horror movies, or that a fan at a club yelled "You should call your band..." and vomited before he could finish, making a sound close to the word GWAR. A final possibility, and the most viable as of yet, coming from sources close to the band suggests strongly that the name comes from the answer David Brockie gave to Hunter Jackson when asked what the band should be called. David Brockie simply responded with a mostly unintelligble word and isolated a single sound out of the rubble therefore creating GWAR.

The band was the result of the collaboration between Hunter Jackson and Dave Brockie, then the singer for a punk band called Death Piggy. Jackson was working on a movie at the time the two met. The movie, entitled Scumdogs of the Universe, featured a plot involving terrifying intergalactic barbarians. Jackson and Brockie combined their ideas, re-named the band Gwar, and have been performing as ghoulish intergalatic warriors ever since. Their costumes are generally made of foam latex, styrofoam, and hardened rubber. It should be noted that the costumes they are wearing actually cover very little with the rest of their bodies being accentuated with makeup. They further their production in concert by dousing, spraying, and at times nearly drowning their audiences with imitation blood, semen, gore, and other bodily fluids. All the fluids are made of water and dye that washes out easily. It is rumored that corn syrup or a similar product has been used as a thickener.

Another trademark of GWAR's live show is their mutilations of celebrities and figures in current events. Victims of GWAR's antics have included O.J. Simpson, George W. Bush, Paris Hilton, and many others. The band also makes frequent references to political and historical figures, fantasy literature, and mythology. For instance, the song "Whargoul" makes reference to Minas Morgul, a setting in the J.R.R. Tolkien Lord of the Rings books; and the title of their sixth album Ragnarok comes from Norse mythology.

GWAR, though by no means a small-time band, have not enjoyed as much mainstream recognition as many other bands. Around the time of their second album (Scumdogs of the Universe), they enjoyed a fair deal of success, due in part to Beavis and Butt-head. After that, however, GWAR's popularity waned and they were even featured on the VH1 program "Where Are They Now." Though not at the peak of their popularity, GWAR was recently invited to play on the Sounds of the Underground tour, which was very well received.

Gwar were, at one time, banned from performing in their home city of Richmond, Virginia due to their raucous stage performances. During that time they would appear in their home town under the pseudonym Rawg and play sans costumes. The ban was later lifted and the band can now play in Richmond again in full gory attire. GWAR was banned earlier in North Carolina for obscenity reasons (Brockie was arrested for wearing his "Cuttlefish of Cthulu" prosthetic penis; this incident was the inspiration for GWAR's America Must Be Destroyed album). Band members and associates often have cookouts at their house, dubbed "Gwar-BQ's." The video for "Saddam a Go-Go" from This Toilet Earth appeared in the hit movie Empire Records. Gwar was/is primarily a band of former art students, and this is reflected in the obscure references made in some of their songs. Gwar fans are known as Bohabs or Scumdogs.
