lyrics

One night we went out for a ride
When we got to where we were going I could barely believe my eyes
There were bridges burning in every direction
One by one they crashed down along with my alibies
It quickly became clear
There was no way out of here
The time for taking prisoners was through… Everybody dies

Next thing I know everything’s turning red
It’s not easy holding onto the hilt when it’s lubricated by the dead
Battle gives a whole new meaning to bloodshot eyes
I was only in this so my family could get fed
Then I overcame my fear
They came at me all at once so I cut them all ear to ear

In the next part of my story I am getting laid
Got the money, got the power, got the women, got them all in spades
But nothing ever lasts and this story does not end well
It’s too hot, it’s too bright, got no water, got no shades
I don’t know if you can tell
But I am writing this song from hell and I’m
Ready to make my escape, I’ve been planning for decades

So I built up an army of bloodthirsty ghouls
They rose from the depths at my request and now I’ve made them all my tools
They’re trained by the best in the ways of the samurai
So that wave after wave of daemon scum will die
Time to kick this into gear
The war lasted 10,000 years until
The prince of darkness fell to my blade in a duel

WOW. I hope Toc will be heard by many more ears besides mine. Love this group's patience to let a sound grow and make itself at home. Though perhaps it's more of a trance. The instrumentation is unique (rhodes, guitar w/ distortion and drums). Three players who work really well together. The total is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. The music is always threatening to spontaneously combust, and mercifully, sometimes it does! Mohan Thomas
