This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Lyrics:

Carnage, at the flick of the wrist

Oh! Mortal Spirit, disdain never discriminates

To dismember is natural

To annihilate is habitual

Every step taken

Ushers in dread

Hunger forever calling

Deeper in to ugliness

Serene in debauchery

Manïs caricature is his fate

Monster within

Turns inside out

Only to face

Face itself

Face itself

Face itself

Face itself

Face itself

Face itself

Primitive, barbarian, reprobate, born savage

(Lyrics: Gus Chambers Music: Dave Lombardo, Waldemar Sorychta)
