Lyrics

Per Aspera Ad Inferi (Live)

[Verse 1]

Unholy is the lust in your eyes

"Blasphemous" would not suffice (ah–)

Perverted are your wishes and dreams

Tanning in Lucifer's beams (ah–)

Alright California!

Sing it!

[Refrain]

Per Aspera Ad Inferi

[Verse 2]

All your dreams will come true

All your dreams will come true

(Duh–) Ahaha! (Ha–)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Oh, Satan, devour us all

Hear our desperate call

Now, you'll scream for him, California!

[Refrain]

[Outro]

Good evening, San Francisco! How are you doing?

We've been well in summer heat, are you in heat?

I take it that you've been eating well

Have you been drinking well?

Well, speaking of eating and drinking

We're gonna do a song for you

That has a gastronomic feed

For this is a song about eating flesh

It is also a song about drinking blood!
