lyrics

"STARS IN HEAT"

Avenues are smoldering at dawn
Underneath apocalyptic spawns.
Burning vehicles show cures for rust.
Spectral survivors do what they must,
Even if it’s only return to dust.

Stars in heat approach my world!
Time and space begin to swirl!
Stars in heat approach my world!

Drunken doctors play at growing hell!
Arteries aren’t embalming very well!
Empty bottles litter waiting rooms
Tormenting blank victims. After noon,
Poisoned patients offer souls for sale!

Stars in heat approach my world!
Time and space begin to swirl!
Stars in heat approach my world!

Sulfur smells like molten overload!
Fresh fragments conceal, collapse, corrode
Inspirations we’ll no longer tape.
Radiation is just one more rape!
Traffic strangles every last escape.

Stars in heat approach my world!
Time and space begin to swirl!
Stars in heat approach my world!

Stars in heat approach my WORLD!
Stars in heat APPROACH my world!
Stars in heat approach MY world!
