In my opinion this man is a genius of our times. Shame he found god. To me this song is possibly the most magnificent song ever written. I love singing it at the top of my voice :-)
this man walks before the reaper. an angel of discord. anyone who can sing about murder for 14 mins and still instill beauty and laughter is a hero in my book. 23. my little boat is empty, it don't row.
Classic line around min 5. 'As he screamed you are an evil man and i paused a while to wonder,if i have no free will then how can i be morally culpable i wonder'
Death Metal Lite... could be a Six Feet Under song ... since they like taking, and remaking other peoples songs. They could make this a Death Metal song... it would be butchered and mutilated badly, but I'm sure it could be done!!
this is his Bone Machine's album
