Amebix - Drink And Be Merry lyrics

Drink and be merry, for tomorrow we may die It's better to laugh than it is to cry My cup runneth over with blood and not wine The last was the flood, it's fire this time I took a walk on the beach, no sand dunes just oil Dead gulls and dead fish were trod underfoot The sky was tinted with yellow and black And the air smelt like Dachou today The fields were littered with the dying and dead Nothing grows here but decay! The village bell tolls, a priest vomits blood Another life's wasted away Down in the square, the party goes on The doomed sit down to their last feast They gorge themselves on the recently deceased The heat of the day, the foul smell of decay As they wait:. For the inferno to be UNLEASHED! So drink and be merry for tomorrow we may die It's better to laugh than it is to cry Live for life's sake, don't let life pa** you by There's more worth living for than meets the eye So drink and be merry for tomorrow we may die!
