Saint Vitus

I have been listening to Saint Vitus' 1984 debut a bunch lately. It was produced by Dez Cadena on SST. Fucking A, man. "Zombie Hunger" is probably my favorite track.

Where Eagles Dare found a coffin in a park today. The coffin in conjunction with this album means that the svrfandestroy video is near 95% complete. Now we just need to film.




I creep by moonlight
I hide when the sun starts to rise
I sleep with the dead things
I have holes instead of eyes
I have no heartbeat
No blood rushing through my veins
No nervous system
No impulses feeding my brain

I have no feelings
No remorse for stealing your child
You shouldn't have let her
Go wandering out in the wild
You've heard the legends
You know that I live out there
But in this modern world
It's foolish to believe in such a scare

I'm a zombie – my skin is now feeling away
I'm a zombie – my insides have died…
And turned grey

I'm lasting no shadows
And making no sounds you can hear
Fumbling through darkness
Your sweat's running cold from the fear
Searching my kingdom
No sign of your little girl
'cause free meals ain't wasted
once they have entered my world

I creep by moonlight
I hide when the sun starts to rise
I sleep with the dead things
I have holes instead of eyes
I have no heartbeat
No blood rushing through my veins
No nervous system
No impulses feeding my brain

Burial at Sea is radical too.



Skull and crossbones – a field of black
Thunder roars – lightning cracks
A phantom ship – she appears
Lost horizons – suddenly near

Neptune please help me
Don't want no burial at sea

Hear their laughter – bloodless shrieks
Tell yourself – dead men can't scream
One legged spectre – riding high
He's commanding – the rape of the sky

Neptune please help me
Don't want no burial at sea

Twilight killers, blood stained teeth
Guiding you into the reef
You are smashed to bits, far below
You're one of us now, you've got no soul

Join the dead men – who cannot die
Committed forever – to soar 'cross the sky
Skull and crossbones – a field of black
Laughs insanely – but no one laughs back

Neptune please help me
Don't want no burial at sea
Neptune please help me
Don't want no burial at sea
