There was a kid who came home red from panic and fear.
Some kids at the school had beaten him way past tears.
His mom cried “Jesus Christ” as she cleaned the blood pouring out of his ears…
but it was obvious that, quiet as a rat, god was nowhere near.
There was a girl at the bar.
She overdosed in a photo booth.
Nobody found her body until last call.
The pictures all showed her terrified and a loner
while everyone cried what a great friend she was.
And everyone treats commandments like more like a bucket list so
Iʼve been been asking why I was born against?
Time doesnʼt respect what doesnʼt respect it
and kind isnʼt a word I would use for man.
If everyoneʼs made in “his” image and even “he” couldnʼt perfect it,
then what the hell makes anyone think we can?
He had the faith of a dog, the debt of a sinner
and a chain tied from his neck to around a tree.
He taped a hospital bill to the dashboard…kissed the ring on his finger
and drove himself to eternity.
Iʼve been trying to hide I was born against.
I wonder if Iʼll die…born against.

I am not sure how to classify this & it really doesn't matter... :) This album is superb & filled with incredibly playful melodies & wicked humour - especially in the lyrics. The humour in the lyrics reminds me a little of a modern day Tom Lehrer even if the music is totally different but it is the playing with words & having a ton of fun while doing it that does it :) Thank you so much to tesla_666 for taking me here! I love it & highly recommend it!!! bmurator

They say you can't capture lightning in a bottle the second time. Someone should tell those people that Z&A is Zeus' homeboy.
Fantastic soul metal. Grimmrobe
