Flies all green and buzzin'
In his dungeon of despair
Prisoners grumble an' piss their clothes
And scratch their matted hair
A tiny light from a window-hole
A hundred yards away
Is all they ever get to know
About the regular life in the day

And it stinks so bad the stones been chokin'
And weepin' greenish drops
In the room where the giant fire puffer works
And the torture never stops
The torture never stops
The torture...the torture...
The torture never stops
Slime and rot and rats and snot
And vomit on the floor
Fifty ugly soldiers men
Holdin' spears by the iron door
Knives and spikes and guns and the likes
Of every tool of pain
And a sinister midget
With a bucket and a mob
A sinister midget
With a bucket and a mob
A sinister midget
With a bucket and a mob
Where the blood goes down the drain

And it stinks so bad the stones been chokin'
And weepin' greenish drops
In the room where the giant fire puffer works
And the torture never stops
The torture never stops
The torture...the torture...
The torture never stops

Flies all green and buzzin'
In his dungeon of despair
An evil prince eats a steaming pig
In a chamber, right near there

He eats the snouts and the trotters first
The loins and the groins are soon re-spersed
His carving style is well rehearsed
He stands and shouts:

All men be cursed!
All men be cursed!
All men be cursed!
All men be cursed!

And disagree,
Hey, nobody would disagree, would he?
No one durst
He's the best, of course, of all the worst
He's the best, of course, of all the worst
Some wrong been done, he done it first
Some wrong been done, he done it first

And he stinks so bad, his bones been chokin'
And weepin' greenish drops
In the night of the Iron Sausage
Where the torture never stops
The torture never stops
The torture...the torture...
The torture never stops

Torture time now!
Flies all green and buzzin'
In his dungeon of despair
Who are all these people
That is locked away down there
Are they crazy?
Are they sainted?
Are they zeros someone painted?

Well it's never been explained
Since at first it was created
But a dungeon just like a sin
Requires not much lockin' in
Of everything that's ever been
Look at her!
Look at him!

That's what's the deal we're dealin' in
That's what's the deal we're dealin' in
That's what's the deal we're dealin' in
That's what's the deal we're dealin' in
