lyrics

Verse 1
Counting corporate beans He wants what he sees
Stands up from his chair To ask her
Quiet gentle man Would never raise a hand
He is perfect and He is well mannered

There is a place I know Where we can go
Where our dreams Are all that matters
I touch your skin Then it all begins
And soon dear Your blood will splatter

Chorus:
Beneath the surface Of morality
Lurks the darkest secrets
Beneath the surface Of the skin
Hides the mortal sinner

Beneath the surface Of the Psyche
Veils the mental torment
Beneath surface Of the conscience
Cloaks deeds of the sordid

Verse 2
Righteous pious Paul He answered the call
Of the Lord God The Holy Master
Always on his game They all know his name
The luminary Darling pastor

I start moving in To a place of sin
I want what fills my eyes With pleasure
Take a walk with me Behind the rectory
Silence while I raid Your treasure

Chorus:
Beneath the surface Of morality
Lurks the darkest secrets
Beneath the surface Of the skin
Hides the mortal sinner

Beneath the surface Of the Psyche
Veils the mental torment
Beneath surface Of the conscience
Cloaks deeds of the sordid

Verse3
Fight for Uncle Sam And you'll become a man
Circumvent the globe In style
Land on foreign shores Casualties of war
All part of Rank and File

Try to clear my head The faces of the dead
The desire Overtakes me
I need to quell the pain So I run it through my veins
And let it Numb my psyche

Chorus:
Beneath the surface Of morality
Lurks the darkest secrets
Beneath the surface Of the skin
Hides the mortal sinner

Beneath the surface Of the Psyche
Veil the mental torment
Beneath surface Of the conscience
Cloaks deeds of the sordid

Verse 4
Such a nice young girl A joy to the world
Someday she'll Be a leader
Counting corporate beans Or military green
Perhaps like Paul She'll be a preacher

I see all the lies And heard their alibis
They're silent while Paul raids My treasure
I cut it in deep Until I start to bleed
I need to release The pressure

Killstrap Wisconsin

Killstrap was formed in the summer of 2019 when front man Drake Sass and guitarist Kris Fox of grunge band Heilzaam were kicking around some ridiculous song title ideas for spoof band, Vomitorium. The pair decided the ideas were too good to be ignored and set about writing and recording Killstrap’s debut, Ticket to Death. ... more
