lyrics

Teeth are clamped down on the bullet.
Every nerve I have is hurting.
Pour ammonia on my open wound.
I can see streams of blood spurting.

I want to live to see another day;
This is the only way, so slice me up.

Put the scalpel through my filthy skin.
Pray to God for no infection.
Pull the musket ball from deep within
Shattered bones and torn intestines.

I want to live to see another day;
This is the only way, so slice me up.

Lying open, my senses reel:
When the body is stressed can the spirit transgress the wounds?
Flying over the battlefield,
Am I incorporeal, or is this how it feels to lose massive quantities of blood?

I want to live to see another day;
This is the only way, so slice me up.

Wizard Planet
by Nicholas Burgess

Solo wizard rock by one half of Clawjob. Bedroom drum machines meet fuzzed-out guitars and zappo synths. Deep ruminations on werewolfhood meet... songs about other stuff. Clawjob
