Verse 1

Not H.P. Lovecraft 
Nor Stephen King
In their darkest moments, 
Who would dream such a thing?
Humongous homunculus 
Speaker of lies
It is said to be Death 
To look in its eyes 

Verse 2

What's its name? 
This creature of malice? 
No one knows for sure 
But the locals call him Neil Patrick Fallon
Rumor has it he's a Government Experiment
And everything about him is a masquerade
Others say he's a heavenly angel
Getting ready for the end of days

Pre-Chorus

Call your mama, call your pa 
Tell everybody here what you saw
Call the sheriff, go get the priest 
F#5 N.C.
Vegetable, Mineral, Man, or Beast?

Chorus

He's a no-good double dealing 
Snake-eyed soul stealing 
Serpent of a thing you'd be hard pressed to
Call a man 
House-breaking, money taking 
God's punishment; There's no mistaking 
His footprints leave only empty eyes and wasted lands 

Interlude

    

Verse 3

Cryptozoological would not even begin to explain it 
We know not where it comes from, nor do we know its motivation 

Pre-Chorus

Wake the governor, close the roads
Pack your suitcase, charge your phones 
Neither living nor deceased
F#5 N.C.
Vegetable, Mineral, Man, or Beast?

Chorus

He's a no-good double dealin 
Fork-tongued faith healing
Serpent of a thing you'd be hard pressed to
Call a man 
House-breaking, money taking 
God's punishment; There's no mistaking
His footprints leave only empty eyes and wasted lands 

Outro

Not H.P. Lovecraft 
Nor Stephen King 
In their darkest moments, 
Who would dream such a thing? 
No-Good double dealing 
Snake-eyed soul stealing 
Nothing but empty eyes and wasted lands 
Not H.P. Lovecraft 
Nor Stephen King 
In their darkest moments, 
Who would dream such a thing? 
No-Good double dealing 
Fork-tongued faith healing
Nothing but empty eyes and wasted lands
