about

"DEATHGUARD" (the opposite of lifeguard) was intended to be my second vinyl single, but only came out on eight-track tape cartridge. The music was recorded live in Pittsburgh with the vocals overdubbed in the studio in Cleveland, and unfortunately, the instruments are too low in the mix compared to the vocals.

Keyboard: RMI ELECTRA-PIANO.

lyrics

"DEATHGUARD"

Last days are first during this time:
Foreboding polarity nine.
One deadly decree has come from the clouds,
And to disagree is never allowed!

We conclude all boulevards
In the presence slow of Deathguard!

I see the growing horror on your face
With bodies cramped through insufficient space!
Birth control alone will not work,
So sextanasia has now gone berserk!

Every hand includes a discard
In the presence slow of Deathguard!

Deathguard is a man!
Deathguard will make sure that you die!

The ache it leaves behind my chest
Still pounds on, refuses to rest.
Analogy conceptual,
Executioner official…

Every room becomes a graveyard
In the presence slow of Deathguard!
