lyrics

7.The Human Bomb

I'm heading west; I am next for the vortex
I bid my mother and brothers goodbye
I got a text about vests made of Semtex
Look at my passport and not in my eyes
I am the martyr of self-detonation
Angels of dynamite here by my side
Soon I will be on my journey to heaven
Gone, gone.
This could be my final song
The story of the human bomb

My shattered body restored by God's surgeon
I'll frolic with angels and worship the Lord
Then bring me my wine and my harem of virgins
I'm shaving my privates with Wilkinson's Sword
I am the master of self-depilation
Shunned back on earth but in heaven adored
Once I was no one but now I'm a legend
Gone. Wrong.
This could by my final song
The story of the human bomb
