LYRICS:

Callous band of thieves digging up the past
Disinterred, detuned, dirty, and done fast
Tippled tomb raiders inhale putrescent riffs
Infringe the body (of work) - corrupting aural grift
Reaping the spoils of another's toil
We ransack a plot of idealogical gold
Compact urns contain artistic wealth
Greater than we can muster, so we steal them in stealth

Compromised coffins can never gather dust
As revivalist vultures pick and tear at the husk
Fagin-like filchers strip the carcass bare
We're the tools of this tirade, but we don't seem to care

With pedant romanticism we're enchanting the lugubrious
Though there lies a gaping schism
Between the real and the unscrupulous
And though our tainted wares are given out as gifts
Their underlying worth is purely counterfeit
Intellectual property is not disposed of properly
This underground trade - a poor man's monopoly
Common class crooks conducting artful robbery
Carried out in plain sight, and done rather sloppily

(lead: Raptured in fraudulence)

"Looting obliterates the memory of the ancient world and turns its highest artistic creations into decorations, adornments on a shelf, divorced from historical context and ultimately from all meaning"

Postmortem keepsakes from crypts we exhume
Redress, rearrange, and shabbily costume . . .
Oeuvre adorned in stolen jewels
Grave concerns for nostalgic fools . . .

(lead: Decease & desist)

We galavant around in this deceased estate
Riffling through repertoire with morbid musical urges to sate
But never will attain that score for which we strive
They come back from the dead to eat us alive . . .

(lead: Bill [im]posters will be prosecuted)
